Mysterious Resident Evil video surfaces
It's 12:01AM EST... you know what that means! Time for a SUPER-BIG-UPDATE. In fact, it's so big, that I actually have no idea what's going on. This news article shows pictures of Resident Evil on the PSP, but it's written in a complex code that only YOU can break! (It's written in Chinese.) I do see "480x272" so maybe this has something to do with video playback? Did we stumble upon some huge game announcement? Or, did we stumble upon a silly prank?

It would be nice but it just looks like the GameCube footage from RE:0. Would be awesome though, the PSP's made for it with the one analog nub to use those clunky "tank" control schemes...

FIRST COMMENT :)!
anyway, i dunno, looks cool and all, but why does it go into the monotone "in progress" cg animation? also, why does the psp look all squeezed in and the video is in a normal format thats not squeezed like the psp?
oh well, only time will tell...

Okay then... since it's only 2:17 in the afternoon here I've been awake enough to run this site through Google Translate.
Here's an excerpt of interest. It's in the first paragraph: Evil series on the PSP game has been in the news a few days ago on the Internet crisis abroad biochemical released a video of the whole video is 480X272 resolution, the picture from the game, the quality was very good, the picture may be developed, not a video mapping sites.
And the title of the page is:
PSP edition of the "Resident Evil" video images outflow BEST2 .
From my understanding of the (terrible) job Google Translate did... I can gather that it is merely reporting on a video of Resident Evil running on the PSP resolution. As you can see... the videos and pictures are just stuck on a pre-release shot of the PSP. Nothing to get all wet about.
Cheers, Marshall.

Well, google translation did something:
Evil series on the PSP game has been in the news a few days ago on the Internet crisis abroad biochemical released a video of the whole video is 480X272 resolution, the picture from the game, the quality was very good, the picture may be developed, not a video mapping sites.

Andrew, I don't care if this turns out to be RE on the PSP or not - You're our fucking hero. I hope they give you some hard cash for your work on this site, or some Japanese hookers. Something.

Japanese hookers for everyone!
Let's first wait for Silent Hill Origins. Too much creepiness on your handheld is not healthy.

Its definitely fake but with Capcoms support of the PSP, there has to be a RE PSP game eventually right? RIGHT?
The PSPs future line up would be perfect if it had a Resident Evil game.

That video looks like an original concept video for RE0. The outfit the girl is wearing is the prototype outfit that Rebecca Chambers wore in the N64 version of RE0. Furthermore, the train backround is a dead give away to which game it is. The video even looks like the graphics used in the videos of 2, 3 and CODE Veronica. Even if this was a real video for a PSP RE game, bringing Zero to it would be a horrible idea.

I am Chinese, so I can read what the page says. It roughly translates to something like this:
"There hasn't been any news regarding whether or not the BioHazard (Resident Evil) series will come to the PSP. A few days ago a foreign BioHazard (Resident Evil) fansite released a video, the resolution of the video is in 480x272 pixels. From the looks of the video, the quality of the game is excellent. Perhaps the video is from a very early build of the game, which explains the many untextured scenes."
So the video is from some fansite outside of China, the video is in 480x272 resolution, which explains why the thing looks weird on PSP, but it still doesn't really confirm the existence of RE on PSP.
