The PS3's Blu-ray format offers developers plenty of space to fill. But the Xbox 360 doesn't use Blu-ray, it uses DVD. That makes things tricky if a studio is planning to release a multi-platform title like Lost Planet 2. More »

Capcom have been big on Western collaborations lately. Two Bionic Commando games, Dark Void, Dead Rising 2, all have been handled by Western teams. But not everybody at Capcom's Japanese HQ is as keen as management to "go west". More »

Capcom's entering the home stretch for Resident Evil 5 — or better yet, the home stretch of the home stretch. The game's out next spring, and the game's producer, Jun Takeuchi, hinted to game site Eurogamer than an announcement was forthcoming. When quizzed about possible RE5 DLC, Takeuchi replied it was something they were thinking about, adding, "We do get that question a lot, and people seem to want it, so it's possible that it's something we would like to respond to."

In hopes to pleasing all of the people (or at least some of them), Capcom is offering not just one, but two Resident Evil 5 control schemes. RE5 producer Jun Takeuchi confirmed to Kotaku in early September that the game would be getting a new input layout. While we had heard that the new controls would be run-and-gun in the vein of a standard shooter. The new scheme does have shooter layout elements, but it's still run/walk, stop, shoot. More »

Details are important. Really important. When gamers play a title and something looks off, they notice it right away. No wonder Capcom spent so much time recreating realistic guns and clothes. Capcom had to make the guns realistic guns because, as Takeuchi puts it, many Americans probably have held real guns. About the clothes, he adds: More »

Among Japanese game developers, Capcom's done really well this generation. The company has launched new IPs, gone multi-plat and even still churns out big arcade games. Part of the reason for that success, at least on home console titles, is Capcom's own multi-platform engine, the MT Framework. While other Japanese developers are just starting to acknowledge the need to launch truly multi-platform titles in this next generation, Capcom was ready from the get-go. What's more, Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi explains: More »

If we're going by trailers alone, Resident Evil 5 is my personal choice for best game of E3 2007. I'm in love with the setting, what appears to be a Haitian shantytown controlled by area warlords and Las Plagas. But with no hands-on time and little in the way of details on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 horror show, where will we turn? Why, to RE5 producer Jun Takeuchi, of course. Capcom is opening up the producer hotline via its forums, allowing gamers to ask questions about the game's development. Itching to know more? Head over to the official Resident Evil forums and ask away. More »

Capcom's recently released financial results reveal slightly less vague details about the release of the company's Resident Evil 5. Producer Jun Takeuchi previously told Famitsu that the game wouldn't make it before 2008. Now it doesn't look like the publisher will be able to get it to Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 owners before April 1 of next year. More »
