Sweet Umbrella sweaters. Seriously. Where can I get myself one of those?

Capcom did every single one of us a favor this morning when they showed off a Resident Evil 5 demo featuring some new environments, Chris' arsenal, and best of all, the rumored online co-op mode. It was talked about last month that co-op would be included with RE5, and that was confirmed by Capcom this morning.

In the demo you see how both characters can interact with each other to get passed obstacles, take down enemies, and defend one another when swarmed by zombies (oh sorry, I mean people with a disease). Unfortunately, right when they were about to show how you could work together to take down a chainsaw-wielding potato sack wearing baddie, they ran out of time. Totally anticlimactic.

Thankfully they had enough time to tell us that Resident Evil 5 would be hitting stores in North America and Europe on March 13, 2009. Japan would be ahead by one day on March 12, 2009.
