Which site is that pic from??

[xghost360]

good game im a good bit through now:p

[RomTheStampede]

This game is just full of Awesomeness. I'm playing it now and I admit I downloaded it for my Modded 360, however, this game is so baught when it comes out officially. Veteran mode makes the game twice as hard and fun. I died at least 6 times so far in the beginning lol. People should actually try this out, it's worth it. I promise about most people would download this and buy the game on March 13th 09.

Brief Review:
The controls are the same as the DEMO or as to say RE4. The darkness level can be change to a brightness level, so you can see things more clearly in the game. The game reminds me of Resident Evil 4 and it may look like a continuation of it. First boss is hard, from my experience. My rating 10/10.

The same goes for Street Fighter IV. I downloaded the game but baught the official version the day it came out.

[poisonousjuice]

This is old news, and not even really news.

Plus I love how the "proof" is a torrent link. Because we all know torrent links are always properly labeled!

[wpc]

Kfc ftw lol:d

[Appleseed]

good game, i do wish the guy could walk and shoot.

[DustRider]

First Windows 7 7048 leaks and now this? OMG such a lovely day!!! :D:D:D

[RuffRyder]

Ninja blade has been released over 2 months early

[SLAYERPSP]

game is fun run it off the hdd it loads way faster. the pic is from ilovetorrents

[mcmanic]

thanks for the info, prehaps Maxconsole should be a new release site.

BTW the game still sucks just like the demo did. Its not resident evil anymore thats for sure.

[Nvidia7800GS]

This is going to be the game of the year!!! :D

Look like someone is gonna get ban from Live from playing RE5 eary.

[bhetrick]

Look like someone is gonna get ban from Live from playing RE5 eary.


RE5 360 bundles are already on some store shelves. So, using your train of thought, people who purchase one and play the included game will also be banned.

Yeah... didn't think so.

[msanchez]

The 360's software sales totally undermine the doom and gloom of the effects of piracy if you ask me. What major 360 release hasn't been first played, like this one often times weeks in advance, by pirates? and they still manage to sell well despite that. I'll assume the trend will continue with this game.

I liked the demo, but I wish RE would go back to the spookiness and sudden surprises of the first game, and I kinda wished ammo was more scare.....it is fun shooting things left and right, but just doesn't feel too RE-ivish to me. More than anything I love the split screen, this is how I hope it will be done from now on.

[kama]

Wrong! Both versions are Biohazard 5 (NTSC-J), the KFC one is Region Free, the Caravan one isn't. They were leaked 2 days before street date, not nearly 2 weeks.

They are in the stores, but not on the shelves, afaik.

[haki]

Ninja blade has been released over 2 months early

ilovetorrents hmm thats what you use lol

[Longhart]

this is the reason why developers should stop making games for the 360 piracy:(

[ASSPOP]

this is the reason why developers should stop making games for the 360 piracy:(


shut the **** up. :mad:

[jaxxster]

Is this even really news? Like someone said its leaked 2 days and not 2 weeks due to this being the Japan copy!

Great reporting yet again maxconsole!

[RuffRyder]

ilovetorrents hmm thats what you use lol

One of them any way but I figured thats where the original article got its info from so thats where I went:D:D:D

[mrdj]

Can`t believe theres so many out there that doesent want to suport susch a good game developer and publisher like Capcom by downloading they`re games. They are one of the best video game developer and publisher out there and should be respected and suported for they`re good games I think.

[NakedFaerie]

2 weeks... oh....
I got Rock Band for 360 about 1 year before it was released in shops here.

I actually finished Rock Band 2 on 360 before Rock Band 1 was released here.

Now you know why Aussies get pirated copies.

Im playing Shellshock 2 now and its not even listed as being released here.

Whahaha that why RE5 is full of crap, it’s alone in the dark wrapped in RE.

Chapters?? What the hell whit chapters, where’s the horror, the puzzles the good story!!!!!!

It’s just another shooter. Just walk and shoot. From one chapter to an other.
What a great game that is. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[SkmNet]

i wanna buy this in japan for my pal box. can anyone tell me if asia version or jpn version has region lock?? (game comes out tommorrow)

[kaizzen]

That's from the terrible tracker bitsoup lol...

Also it's misleading the title.. It's released on the 5th in Japan so it was only leaked 2 days early!

[p1nky]

"Reader David sent us the following image as proof of the leak" ROFLMAO

OF COURSE maxconsole staff wouldn't know about this themselves bwahahaha :D

Funny... just as Microsoft is requiring new 360 games to have the NXE update and anti-piracy measures...

So... can we just break the street date then? I'd like to play it on the PS3 with my friends.

[WickedSkin]

RE5 is MEH. Seriously it's not really Resident Evil. Played RE4? That's RE5 for ya.

[SkmNet]

well i smell bs comments of users in here claiming they will buy the game after it hits the store. oh really..? i couldnt say you will despite of the fact that you flashed your xbox 360's dvd drive with hacked firmware to play pirated games (stop with nonsense reason "i wanna try the game first if its worth a buy", i wanna be the first to try.) stop with your bs... i know out of 10 users who dl and play the pirate copy, only 3 users out of piraters would buy actual game. just be honest that you pirate **** and dont buy a real thing, and stop posing as someone who buys games. bs... you wouldnt have modded your damn consoles if you really buy games. whats the reason of modding consoles other than you want a free ****.

i admit i pirate shits so theres no way id be called myself a hypocrite and fake ass like some users in here claimed. get real.

[Neptune]

there're 2 versions out, first one is USA/EUR and the second one is JAP (bio hazard 5) so the USA/EUR is pretty early (it comes out on 17th)

WRONG!

They are both NTSC/J

There were 2 releases in Japan, one was labelled Biohazard the other Resident Evil. One is RF one isn't.

That's pretty true. However, I have a pretty hefty game collection here :P

RE hasn't been survival horror since RE3...RE4 and 5 are both 3rd person shooters

[miley]

well this is internet everybody lies. i cant take someone words to be as truth especially talking about wrong doings. if i say i dont smoke 420, would you believe me? no i dont think so. internet is full of liars. you can point whos telling the truth in internet unless you know who are you talking with. (friends maybe, stranger? i dont give a fck what they say cos its half lie and truth.)

[DKing]

Honestly.. People that put things out before the release date are just dumb. Way to fly under the radar there guys.

[Shuyinsan]

That's from the terrible tracker bitsoup lol...

Also it's misleading the title.. It's released on the 5th in Japan so it was only leaked 2 days early!

no it isnt look at the xbox icon here and then go to bitsoup and see if its the same
and who cares every game gets leaked before the releasee RE5 was no exception
heck fallout 3 came out what a month before release?
who cares anyway pirates dont need maxconsole to tell them that a game has been leaked

[kama]

Yes, the title is misleading, it's Biohazard 5 that got released 2 days early, not RE5 nearly 2 weeks.

[iLLNESS]

Honestly.. People that put things out before the release date are just dumb. Way to fly under the radar there guys.

games have been released like this before in the past. its no different now.
and nothing has changed aside from m$'s appearant anti piracy addons which are probably useless anyways.

[kama]

Aarrgghh, those aren't anti-piracy measurments, M$ simply placed the complete NXE update in the video partition!

[Xenogears V]

:eek: This thread goes in Piracy matter...

[iLLNESS]

Aarrgghh, those aren't anti-piracy measurments, M$ simply placed the complete NXE update in the video partition!

meh whatever..
in two weeks time it wont matter.. but odds are some tool is going to get banned cuz he dont know how to rip the game :)

[fuuuuuu]

Ixtreme sees the new video partition as a threat/unstealthed and thus won't boot, Even retail copies won't work :D You would need version 1.41 unstealthed of Ixtreme to play this (Of course untill 1.51 or 1.6 comes out)

[Goukihoshi]

Anyone here trying this game already?

I am and the screen tearing (lack of V-sync) is
_terrible_. I'm playing in 1080p using the VGA cable
but even on lower resolutions (1280x768 I believe)
it's still present.

Can anyone tell the results when using the component
cable in 720p perhaps? Sold mine :P

[sirxlaughs]

It's not a leak. It's the Asian, Region-Free version.

You can buy it.

I'm aware of that. That doesn't make the people any less dumb.

[bloodychucky]

i guess the pic is from torrentleech , private tracker

[d889]

apparently re5 doesnt have the new copyright protection on it so iextreme 1.5 works with it.

i took my xbox apart to mod it just for this game ... and god damnit i have the DG-16D2S, not trying to spend money on a spear or any of that nonsense.

[killer23d]

The game must have came out from the Special RE5 Edition Xbox, which has the red controller. Many retail including mine has them and we are not allow to sell them.
