Resident Evil 5 Headed To The PC Later This Year

In a press release this morning Capcom officially announced Resident Evil 5 is coming to the PC later this year. Also, Street Fighter IV and Bionic Commando are on track to hit the WIndows platform in July. Jeff's got a whole lot more info on the Street Fighter IV stuff in a previous story so I'd check there for information on the achievements and improvements made for that game. Here's a quote from the release detailing what Resident Evil 5 PC gamers have to look forward to:

Do want 3D?

Is it actually going to work well though?

DMC4 PC was pretty awesome, hopefully this will be just as good.
Incidentally, I'd like to point out now, before anyone screams shitty port incoming, that capcom develops pretty much all of its current gen shit native to the PC, and the console versions are the actual ports. That is all.

It's a schooner

The PC version of DMC 4 was the superior one, in my opinion. I'm hoping that's the same for these games. Even though I have RE 5 and SF IV, I'm still going to try out the PC versions.

Nice, if this is a Windows LIVE title I'll likely double-dip for double the achievements. :)

Hopefully this supports a mouse, as it looks like the RE4 PC port did not (?!).

All that video did was make me feel sick. =/ I'd rather just play Crysis than watch two versions of it on a YouTube vid.

It looks like 3D is not for me.  I tried doing all types of these 3d online tests, but each one I failed miserably.  I did hear that if you could not see the 3d stuff, you could do practice exercises to train your eyes to see it, but it seems like too much work to train myself to get this extra feature.

As for RE5 on the PC, I may get it when it goes down in price, hopefully there will be some cool mods for it by then.

I dont really want 3-D, but I got the video thingy to work. Ended up with two tear filled eyes tho.

They can't possibly screw it up as bad as the RE4 port...right?

According to Amazon UK the game is coming out on June 30, 2009.

I feel really stupid crossing my eyes watching that YouTube video. I felt like I was being caught on video as a prank.

Thank you Capcom for still providing PC gamers with games to play. Now just don't screw up the ports :)

Crossing my eyes while watching that video did nothing for me. Everything just became blurry and I saw double of everything. I call bullshit.

I'm not crossing my eyes

Just a note for those that don't understand.  The Nvidia 3D system requires a special 120Hz LCD and special expensive shutter glasses, but you don't have to cross your eyes.  The games must also get double the framerate (because the framerate you see will be cut in half, one for each eye).

Better have goddamn mouse support...

I haven't touched the game since I beat it, and uh, that means its at most a 3/5 game. 

I can't cross my eyes. I'm so used to looking through glasses that sending my eyes in opposite directions is next to impossible.

Interesting, and that 3D stuff is freaking me out. I hope it actually works with the right equipment.

It will, some games already have it."

Wonder how they'll make the controls fluid on the PC...

Cheers for the nude mod makers.
