New details on Capcom’s forthcoming horror title Resident Evil 5 are to be featured in the next issue of Japanese publication, Weekly Famitsu, via a free DVD.
Rumours of new coverage emerged earlier this week on various Resident Evil fan sites, with official confirmation coming today in the form of a message posted on Capcom’s 25th anniversary website.
According to a translation made by members of The Horror Is Alive (a popular RE community site), the text in the image reads, ‘Biohazard 5 Exclusive Footage + Interview’ (for those unaware, Resident Evil is known as Biohazard in Japan)
The magazine is due to hit shelves in Japan on March 28. Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available.
UPDATE:
Unfortunately, Eurogamer is reporting that the DVD will not contain any new footage. There will, however, still be an interview included on the disk.

Why does Japan get different names from the rest of the world? Resident evil = Biohazard, and also stardustHD is StarstrikeHD in japan! weird...Looking forward to resident evil 5!

I haven't played any of the Resident Evil games, but I've been thinking about getting into the Horror/Survival genre and I might get it. I've been looking forward to Dead Space as my first Survival Horror game and if I like it, I'll probably get Resident Evil 5.
On Gametrailers.com Resident Evil 5 is there most anticipated game with MGS4 being #2. If this game is that anticipated then I'll definantly think about checking it out.

Two things, WOOT! We get more info before E3, but we'll have to hope someone subs it. The other is that Residet Evil sounds awesomer then Biohazard!

Good news: Excellent graphics, engaging story, fluid and intuitive controls
Bad News: Nearly 10 GB/45 min install
Just kidding. Hope the news is worth while to take me away from my COD4/MLB08:TS binge.

Biohazard sounds better really, as "Resident Evil" doesnt really explain what the game is about.

They couldn't release as Biohazard in USA because of the metal band...Such a shame As for RE 5 I am super excited. I'm sure it'll be great

Be a hit or another flop.Games offering so much yet few yet to deliver.I love the resident evil games from when it was first issued on the ps1 .Top notch but yet the hold backs on games tend to put me off.For example stalker on the pc assasins creed and now this is there a release date for amazon and play.com are issueing dates of sale yet each date differs.

this game better be the jams because capcom's been dissappointing PS3 owners to the point I think they are in cohoots (spelling) with Billy G.

I figure in the long run everything will take up lots of space, so I got a 250GB Western Digital Scorpio HDD from Newegg.com for $140.00 pretty cheap and easy to install. I don't think I'll be worrying about space for this game, or for quite some time. RE Forever !!
