Capcom to release PS4 and Xbox One versions of ‘Resident Evil 5’ on June 28th

Are you a Resident Evil fan? Then you might have heard that Capcom’s been celebrating the 20^th anniversary of the series by selling some of its greatest hits again. But they’re doing it in reverse order. They started with Resident Evil 6 back in March and are working their way towards the game that redefined the series: Resident Evil 4. Before that release though, Capcom is releasing Resident Evil 5 first for the Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4. The Xbox One and PS4 releases come will all the original game’s add-on content. RE5 is the game that first introduced local co-op play in the franchise.  

The digital version of the game will retail for US$20 (around CA$26) in North America and will be coming on June 28^th. The physical disc, meanwhile, will come out on July 12^th for the same price.

‘Resident Evil 5’ comes to the NVIDIA SHIELD

Resident Evil 5 might be a seven-year-old game but if it appeals to you to play a classic game on the NVIDIA SHIELD, you should get downloading now. RE5 was one of the more graphically-intensive games to come out back in 2009 with full 3D rendering and over-the-shoulder shooting gameplay. It wouldn’t pose a problem for the 256-core Maxwell GPU of the NVIDIA SHIELD, though. The game is a hefty download at 5.5GB. You shouldn’t have a problem with it if you got the 250GB model but the 16GB model might cause some issues and some storage gymnastics. You can get the game for a discounted price of US$9.99 (around CA$13) but it should come up to its suggested retail price of US$15 (around CA$19) in the future. It also won’t work yet on other Android devices aside from the NVIDIA SHIELD.
