PSA: Metal Gear Solid 5 still on for Xbox 360, PS3
Put your exclamation marks down! Despite previous-gen platform listings being absent from a recent Game Informer cover story, Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is still coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Hideo Kojima's next big title is also slated to hit Xbox One and PS4. "MGSV TPP [The Phantom Pain] will be available on both current and next gen!" a Konami representative told Joystiq. We hope that clears it up for the many readers that sent us questions and tips in the wake of Game Informer's story. The next installment of the Metal Gear story will ship in two pieces: a teaser adventure dubbed Ground Zeroes, due this March, followed by a complete sequel titled The Phantom Pain at an undetermined date.

Resident Evil 5: Capcom says 16 player listing on pack art is wrong
Resident Evil has largely been a single-player affair but Capcom looks to change that trend with a fully realized co-op mode in the upcoming Resident Evil 5. It seems that gamers are excited enough about the possibilities a two-player Resident Evil 5 can bring but for a brief moment it looked like the game included a 16 player multiplayer mode. Originally discovered by D+Pad, the UK pack shot of Resident Evil 5 lists support for up to 16 players via system link. At first the Internet didn't know what to think until Capcom told Videogaming247 that the pack shot was correct but declined any further comment. While the Internet went into frenzy mode about a potential 16 player zombie hunt, Capcom again contacted Videogaming247, this time confirming the art was indeed an error, saying, "Turns out our pack art was wrong!" So there you have it, kids. Resident Evil 5 will only include a two-player co-op mode. It's new enough for the series, right? Baby steps, people.
