Loading ...Some surprise information about Resident Evil 5 was announced at E3 – full co-op support through the entire game and coming in a March 2009 release!
How badass is that? The one qualm I’ve had with the Resident Evil series is the single-player insanely stressful experience that playing was; constantly trying to give you a heart attack as you play.
Resident Evil 5 looked amazing, as Capcom tends to do with their games, but the “single guy versus all of Africa” approach had me pretty hesitant about it because I don’t tend to like the impossible odds in the Resident Evil games. If you want me to fight an entire town, give me way more ammo and I’ll be happy to.
With the announcement that it will have full co-op, needless to say we are pumped about this title now. Here’s a media blow-out for you to feast your eyes on.

can you play offline co-op

Good Q, as far as I can see (scouring online) there was no reference made to offline co-op *yet*.
That means 1 of two things:
1) They want to surprise people closer to launch
2) It’s not implemented yet in the game and there is a possibility that it might still get cut so they aren’t talking to it.
The game still has a ways to go before it’s release, so hopefully it will get in there.

Looks like offline co-op is an option, and you can play with a friend on a single console at home.
