    "remappable controls including mouse and keyboard support" They say this for Bionic Commando, but what about Resident Evil 5? They had no mouse and keyboard support in 4...

    I'm also wondering how they will distribute these games digitally. Sven at Capcom said they have no plans to release SF4 on Steam. I'm assuming the same goes for Resident Evil 5 and that they might only release Bionic Commando on there. It looks like they're making the same mistakes EA made before finally swallowing their pride in regards to Steam.

    I'm pretty much at the point with PC gaming that if a game doesn't release on Steam I just ignore it.
