Okay... first ever thread

Basicly what i want to know is...

1. What the hell is "Kijuju"? Heard it a few times but really dont have a clue what it is

2. Any news on characters from past games appearing in this? So far i only know about Wesker

3. Any downloads to come with the game?

1. Pretty sure Kijuju is the country they're in.

2. I think it's just Chris, Wesker and an unrevealed female which most people think is William Birkin's daughter. Can't remember her name... Sherry? Not sure though. There's also a tombstone you probably don't want to know about.

3. Probably, sooner or later, but none announced (that I know of)

Ta very much.
Ive just actually seen the gravestone... and if it means what i think it means, im not happy lol

It seems a lot of old characters will be in RE5. Obviously the main character is the same as the original game.

Only other thing you need to know:

If you love RE4 you'll love this game. If you're a big fan of the part where the series was still Horror, you'll enjoy this but mainly play for the story.

Hopefully it will be as good as, if not better than Res4. Only problem i have so far is that on the demo the game is set in stages... hope its not like that on the full release. Or maybe its a dif mode, kinda like the mercenaries mode of Res4

Capcom is pleased to announce the Resident Evil 5 Collector’s Edition. First teased last week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas, the Collector’s Edition will be available on day one of the game shipping Friday, March 13, 2009. Available for only a limited time, gamers will be able to pre-order the collectible set starting today at the Capcom store at www.capcom.com. On launch date, the set will be available at all major retailers in North America with a price of $89.99 for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3.

For fans of the highly popular series, the box set is not to be missed as it will include a host of never-before-seen collectible items not available anywhere else. All designed around RE5’s Kijuju setting and the game’s in-depth storyline, the box will include a Tricell messenger bag, Chris Redfield figurine, BSAA patch and Kijuju-inspired pendant.

Bringing the entire collection together is a custom made steel case with special art showcasing signature elements of the RE5 campaign - the Kijuju writings, ominous number five and two-player co-op. Inside the steel case is where the real action lies, with a two disc set including the game and bonus disc with additional special features. The Making of Resident Evil 5 feature, first shown at the Tokyo Game Show, will be released on the bonus disc for the first time. A digital art gallery showcasing the game’s incredible HD graphics and impressive art style and a Resident Evil Degeneration Trailer will top off the special features making a bonus disc that is a must-have for all Resident Evil devotees.
