Resident Evil 5 getting 360-only adverts in UK

The first adverts for Resident Evil 5 are now airing in the UK – well on Sky 1 at least. After taking a gander at the advert,  it looks as if the game will be getting the same treatment titles like Grand Theft Auto IV, Tomb Raider: Underworld, and Dead Space got, with the title only getting advertised for one console – in this case the Xbox 360.

Like all the above named titles, the advert runs with footage of the game, before closing with the Xbox 360 logo, and a image of the console. Obviously, we know the game is multiplatform, but the advert will likely drawn more attention to the 360 version  from less informed gamers.

This should really not be all that surprising though, as of all the recent multiplatform games to get released, the only big one that seemed to have PS3 centric adverts was Burnout Paradise.

Resident Evil 5 will be hitting both PS3 and 360 on March 13th.
