Some people would have you believe that the printed word is on the way out, but it turns out the medium is undead after all. No, you're not i-Majini-ng things, there really is a Resident Evil 5 art book, and it's shambling to shelves this July. Entitled The Art of Resident Evil 5, the book is being released by Udon and contains loads of content from the game, including "3D models, character designs, environments, storyboards, and promotional art." It also includes "never before seen concept art and unused designs," creator commentary and interviews with the development staff.
You can pre-order the 204 page book from Amazon, where it's currently selling for $26.39 (34 percent off the usual $39.99 price tag).

Books like this are awesome, but I always feel they're way too nice to open. But then again, I treat all my collectors-item books like they are ancient relics.

Don't worry, Bobby. Just charge people $30 for Stimulus Package 2, and you'll be set!

@ CJ - I've got that thing sitting on my bookshelf, and I think I paid $30 for it last year.

Megaman and Street Fighter art I understand, but Resident Evil art has never been something I want to look at

Now?!? It's a little late don't you think? The game came out last year and the new DLC is already a month old now.

Just think of all the money you could make bobby. Photoshopping pictures of musicians playing with guitar hero guitars instead of real ones and selling the book for a whopping 60 bucks. You can make the gamers feel just like the stars then.

I rented RE5 last year, bought Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition this year and looks like I'm going to be getting this book as well. This will be 1st art book I have gotten for a video but I can't wait to have it.
