Ever since Resident Evil 5 was announced, Capcom has kept info on the game locked tighter than Fort Knox. Now that we only have 3 weeks left until the release on March 13th, it appears they have thrown caution to the wind. A new trailer was released by them last night with this warning “Lots of good story bits and spoiler stuff in this new trailer… It’s completely full of win!”

Spoiler? Yes, you did read the word spoiler in that sentence! What spoiler you ask? Could it be Chris, and Wesker are brothers? Does Wesker ever take off his sunglasses? Did the T-Virus originate from infected Chimpanzees? Although these are most definitely not true, the spoiler in this trailer is almost equally shocking!

Before your jittery fingers click that play button we warn you this spoiler is epic!

Xbox owners rejoice, because for the week of January 26th the official Resident Evil 5 demo will be available live. The demo will be on Xbox live Monday January 26th, and will be available for one week.  A Resident Evil 5 demo on PS3 should be on the way later, but we haven’t heard anything on it yet.

The Demo which was released in Japan last year a little before Turkey day, will now be coming to the US on Xbox live.  It will feature two exclusive levels from the game, both of them you can play co-op with Chris Redfield, and Sheva Alomar.

The Shanty Town, and Assembly Place are said to be the two levels you will get to play in.  You will also be encountering the menacing kinda zombie, kinda not enemies in this demo the Majini.

So Xbox owners enjoy yourselves, and try not to rub it in too much because I think a PS3 demo will be following soon after.

Below is a video of what you can expect from the demo.

Lately there has been a windfall of Resident Evil 5 content released, as we are drawing closer to the games release. Today fans have just gotten another little nugget of joy to nibble on. Thanks to Capcom, we are getting the first real glimpse of the Resident Evil 5 box art for Xbox360, and PS3.

The box art we are looking at is supposedly the same art we will see on the date of the games release, as Capcom has said “This art will dominate North American store shelves when the game launches on Friday, March 13th, 2009.”

It seems the cover confirms that the main plot line of the game will revolve around Sheva, and Chris, as I am sure you have assumed. I am just hopping an image of the collectors edition comes out soon because that’s the one I will be drooling over.

Here’s a link to Capcom’s post on box art!

On the eve of the most glutinous day of the year we have found out that the Japanese will be getting a nice holiday treat from Capcom. Today we discovered that the Resident Evil 5 Demo is set for release Dec. 5th in Japan. The demo will be available only on the Xbox 360, and only to the land of the rising sun.  Sorry homeboys it seems we will not be seeing a Resident Evil 5 demo in the good old USA yet.

RE5 Development is said to be going so well that it will be released a whole week early then originally scheduled. Here in the U.S. RE5 is set for release March 13th, as previously scheduled. Although we have heard nothing of a demo in North America, we are set to get one for the 360, and PS3 but when is still unknown.

So while we are getting stuffed this Thanksgiving just know that Japanese people will be getting stuffed as well, but with the knowledge that they will be getting a RE5 demo Dec. 5th, and be getting the full game a week earlier then previously scheduled.  2 Japan, United States ZIP.

The fifth installment in Capcom’s super Survival Horror series Resident Evil 5 will be attacking the shelves March 13th, but until that day comes the ever growing Resident Evil 5 popularity cloud continues to swell. It has just gotten a little bigger with the release of the new screenshots on Capcom’s blog.

Just to be sure all you guys are up to speed. Here is a quick list of the major RE5 info Capcom has released on their Blog.

The new batch of Screen shots show some images of Chris and Sheva. Also some Zomibe dogs whose heads open up and reveal…well in a word teeth. They also show a giant deformed bat, that seems to splash some type of goo on Sheva.
