3D Resident Evil 5 coming to PC

Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV and Bionic Commando all confirmed for PC release

EA Sports may be turning its back on boxed PC releases, but rival publisher Capcom has announced that it will be releasing both boxed and digital versions of some of its biggest titles on PC this year.

The headline title is next-gen hit Resident Evil 5, which will be released on the platform ‘later in the year’. First, however, will come the releases of Street Fighter IV and Bionic Commando this July.

All three titles will be fully optimised for the PC and include additional content not included in the console releases.

Street Fighter IV, for instance, will boast a higher screen resolution than the console versions as well as some new shading techniques (‘watercolour,’ ‘poster’ and ‘sumi-e ink’) giving the game a graphical feel similar to the artistic trailers that were knocking about last year.

Perhaps more surprising is the news that Resident Evil 5 will be enhanced with support for Nvidia’s GeForce 3D Vision technology, which will require the use of 3D glasses.

This is awsome news, guess ill be waiting to play Resi 5 on PC. A quick question though, is ATI planning on entering the 3D realm of gaming? I am a AMD/ATI fanboy so would like to stick to that combination. Dont really want to jump over to the darkside. Being on the side of HELL is alot cooler ;)

IF anyone knows, be great if they could post :)

Yes, ATI/AMD partnered with a company called iz3d that makes a competing product to Nvidia's 3D vision

Yes iZ3D does work with ATI, as well as Nvidia, Meaning iZ3D is not just for one side, they work with all, and the iZ3D is cheaper and more Eye Friendly...

Thanks thats awsome news, ill head to ATI's site now to see if there is any information on this yet. Though would still like to see it running before plunging. Also im curious will RESI 5 be 3D only or will you be able to play it like the console renditions? I would assume so but still thought i would ask
