As with all rumours, some are just mere speculation and others turn out to be concrete information. The latest news regarding the hugely anticipated Resident Evil 5, is that Microsoft has reportedly offered a sum of money to Capcom for exclusive rights to the game.
It is unclear just what exclusively they intend to secure but this latest news is sure to ignite all the Resident Evil fans out there who are waiting on updates for this game. This could turn out to be of particular importance especially with E3 coming up and with Capcom sure to announce details of one of their best selling franchises. If the rumours appear to be true, then it seems as if Microsoft is following the same pattern they followed when they gained exclusive material for GTA IV in the form of episodes.
I can predict Capcom to make some interesting announcements following this latest rumour, so stay tuned to here more news, if these news do appear to be true, it will be interesting to find out how Sony respond to these rumours as they surely wouldn’t want to concede another defeat to Microsoft. What are your views on this matter?
