If there’s one way to make a survival horror game a lot more appealing to those who crap in their pants everytime they as much as hear a plastic bag rustle in the dead of night, it is to release one on Friday the 13th. Demoing Resident Evil 5 at the Microsoft Press Conference at E3 2008 some time back, Capcom’s Jun Takeuchi walked the audience through a demo of the game, which is also supposed to be playable on the floor for the attendees during the course of the expo.

After explaining a little bit about Chris Redfield joining a new organization called the BSAA (or was it the VSAA?) and teaming up with Sheva to hunt zombie ass deep in Africa, the game’s co-producer joined in to show off the game’s co-op session - which involved Chris and Sheva working together and helping each other survive the zombie hordes in what was undoubtedly the high point of the entire Microsoft press conference. Which, ultimately, culminated in them facing off against a chainsaw wielding zombie and having the entire world groan in collective agony at having to wait until March 13, 2009. And for all the people in India, you know what that means - RE5 will probably walk in the footsteps of DMC4, so you better start placing your pre-orders as the option goes up on Play-Asia!
