AU Shippin' Out 9-13: Resident Evil 5

By James Kozanecki, GameSpot AUPosted Mar 8, 2009 10:24 pm PT

Capcom's controversial and highly anticipated horror survival game set to spook gamers later this week.

The biggest game to come out in Australia this week is without a doubt Resident Evil 5 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game follows the story of Chris Redfield as he investigates a viral outbreak in the fictitious African nation of Kijuju, with the help of a local operative called Shiva Alomar. Shiny new graphics aside, you can recruit a second player to control Alomar and blast through the campaign cooperatively, but don't worry, you can still play it solo. Be sure to keep checking back for all of the latest RE5 information in our launch centre before the game's release this Thursday.

After being rescued from development limbo by Ubisoft, World in Conflict: Soviet Assault is finally ready to deploy. Soviet Assault introduces six new missions from the side of the aggressors. To go along with the new missions, white phosphorus bombs have been introduced as a new tactical aid. World in Conflict: Soviet Assault will be available as a stand-alone product, or bundled with the original World in Conflict.

The final game worthy of mention this week is Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box for the PC. Though it doesn't bring anything new to the table, The Ultimate Box combines all of the downloadable content that has been released along with the original retail game from 2008 in one neat package for the PC. Be sure to keep an eye out for Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box when it comes out later this week.

    Hopefully they've programmed the AI to stay out of my direct line of fire. Or at least added a new input button to kick her out of your way when aiming.

    this game has turned into an action game rather than a horror one,and now we start to ask the question........

    @roflmuffins8
    Not ALL games are released in the USA first, just the good ones!
    Actually, it all depends on where the developer is based. So most of the games you play are usually made by American developers.

    @missmorphine Resident Evil 5 epic fail? well, everyone is entitled to their opinion but, don't forget: it's a DEMO not a FINAL product. I can't wait until it comes out I'll be getting it after work!

    I'll never understand why games released in America get released much later in Australia and the UK. The developers don't usually make any changes and we all speak the same language, so why not release it in all English-speaking territories at once?

    I'll be picking up Res5 for the mercs mode If I had a PS2 I would pick up Persona 4 too. Burnout is good too if you haven't played it yet. Oh if you like multiplayer, probably World in Conflict too. The rest are bin worthy I think... @GodsPoison - It is the U.K Release date for Persona 4.

    Thought the street date for Resident Evil 5 was Friday, March 13? Speaking of Resident Evil, heard rumors of a March 12 announcement for a Code Veronica remake for the Wii. Can anyone confirm?

    Oh look, what a surprise...Nintendo releasing more shovelware! They release the most titles and so very few of them are even hits. The PS3 has even more hits now than the Wii and they have a smaller consumer base...go 360 and PS3, BOOOOOOO Wii!!! Booo Nintendo!
