Japan’s premier source of gaming news, Famitsu, had an interview with Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi, who is working on Resident Evil 5, where he stated that the highly anticipated survival horror game should not be expected before 2008.
He had more to say: apparently, the game will make use of a unique temperature system, where heat and cold weather will be part of the game’s mechanic, affecting the surroundings and the overall gameplay. Takeuchi also said that the game will make use of full hair modeling, and that he is targeting a 60 fps framerate, despite all the graphical niceties.
By way of Famitsu comes Koei’s full lineup for the Tokyo Game Show later this month. The following titles are scheduled to be present at the show:

Various sources are reporting that From Software has cancelled Black Blade and Dark RPG, two of its RPG games for the PS3; both titles were announced at TGS 2005. This comes from Famitsu, which also reports that Armored Core 4 will be a launch title for the PS3.
It may seem like the PS3 is losing many titles, but PS3Land has come up with a list of 200 in-development PS3 titles that is sure to excite many. That list doesn’t even include the many unannounced titles out there.
From Famitsu comes word that Armored Core 4 will launch with the Japanese PS3 this November. The game has been confirmed as a launch title for the PS3, though the Xbox 360 version has now been tagged with a “TBA” date.
