Joystiq [PlayStation]

Get it? Anyone? Oh well, high-fives all around! There has been little to no news circulating about this game, so we're proud to be among the few to deliver it. Resident Evil 5 isn't to be expected until 2008, so we know there's a lot going on with this game. It'll be huge and it'll be multi-platform, not to mention totally awesome. Jun Takeuchi, also known for his work on Lost Planet (among other titles), spoke a bit about the title earlier this week.

The game is taking so long partially because the picture rate is slated to run at a smooth 60fps. They're also utilizing an engine to create realistic facial expressions and animations. There will be good and bad hair days for characters, since each strand is individually coded from root to tip. There will be a great number of interactive environments, taking into account things like hot or cold temperatures to change your character's stability as well as solving certain puzzles (we assume... recall the hot and cold cardkey puzzle from the original Metal Gear Solid). Basically, this game will be worth the wait. Will they use the SIXAXIS? Who knows. But even without that function, there seems to be a solid game a-cooking.
