Resident Evil 5 being made by over 400 Capcom developers
Capcom has revealed that their upcoming Resident Evil 5 survival-horror title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 has a lot of backing behind it. Capcom wants to sell 2.3 million copies of Resident Evil 5. While that might seem like a high number, the different version of Resident Evil 4 (GameCube, PS2, Wii) together sold 4.9 million copies worldwide so far.
To quote Capcom’s press release: “In addition to developing tools, we have also strengthened our game development structure. As more than 400 people including company employees and outside contractors are working on this particular title, we have reorganized the structure to assign appropriate human resources, manage development process and offer mental health care to staff in order to ensure smooth operation. Our belief while developing Resident Evil 5 was that no detail was too small when it came to graphics.” Capcom even sent employees to Africa to improve Resident Evil 5′s graphics. Here’s what they had to say about it: “Our staff visited Africa, a new backdrop in the series, to experience the real Africa where the contrast between light and the darkness is stunning.”
No doubt Capcom knows what their doing. After all, the Resident Evil series has currently sold 34.5 million units worldwide. — Via Gamekyo
