IGN Australia thought that RE4 was a triumph and rejuvenated a series that was starting to become stale. They expect RE5 to continue down the same path of innovation.
But due to a lack of new news on the game, IGN have come up with ten inclusions they're "dying" to see in the upcoming release.

Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

Dusk Golem claims a Resident Evil 5 remake is not coming this year, with a Code Veronica remake expected instead.
Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.
I've played Resident Evil 4 on both the PS2 and the Gamecube and if you consider how impressive it looked on those consoles, imagine how sweet it'll look on the PS3 and 360!
Those next gen visuals will definitely help with the atmosphere, with shadows showing even a game set during the daylight can be scary.
I like their multiplayer idea - how cool would it be to be playing with your friends co-operatively against the zombies. Or even better, if one of your friends gets attacked they could "turn" to the other side, get some extra powers and start fighting with the zombies against you!
My dumb ass sold my PS2 before I could play this game. I was getting bored of the earlier RE games and had written the franchise off as a loss. I am currently working on RE4 on GC (never had a GC, thank God for Wii BC) and am planning on finishing it within the week. I'll have to say my bias almost robbed me of one of the greatest games I've ever played. Do what you have to and take as long as you need Capcom. I'll be waiting as long as you need.
"While we're on the subject of weapons, the weapons upgrade system from RE4? Loved it. And the Merchant was dead sexy. More of that please." I agree wholeheartedly. More of that please indeed. Also, thanks for not needing ribbons to use the typewriter. That was lame.
I never played RE4 but i think it was better on the Gamecube than the PS2, however i might try out RE5 on my Xbox 360. I would love for their to be mutiplayer, maybe online co-op.
played both RE4s on both systems,there wasn't a glaring difference in graphics between the two but the gamecube version was smoother. however, the PS2 version made up for it with the Laser weapon and new bonus missions with ada.
But online play for Resident Evil is really not needed at all. Sure online is the new thing on the block but really don't include it in every game that comes out.
Other than that I like the list
