Resident Evil thread.

Well I seen Crysis running on a sub £300 PC system with no problem before, which is roughly the same price as one of those consoles thingies, now I'm sure you know my dislike for PC gaming and shit let alone an FPS so there is no reason for me to be defending crysis, but fact is fact and that is that you don't need an expensive PC to play it with good settings and that it is still miles ahead in terms of graphics of pretty much any game out there, technicality has nothing to do with artist design btw.

Say what you will, I've never seen anything to the contrary that Crysis looks and runs better than some console games on rigs less than twice as expensive as my 360.It sure doesn't. Which is another reason why it's feasible that someone might have, and justifiably so, RE5 as their best looking game over Crysis.

Ugh, if you guys even mention that game again, I'll ban you for two weeks.

This game should and can be sooo much more but IMO it simply looks stupid...Zombies taking 15 shots b4 they fall...or better yet chainsaw weilding zombies taking 4 close range shotgun blasts and not even flinching...The character movement looks akward...This game is not looking good IMO...It looks like a button mashing mess

Did you play Resident Evil 4 ? If you didnt like that, there is a good chance you won't like this one either.

Sure it's unrealistic in terms of how many shots each zombie takes to die but that's the same for any other game out there, to be honest, so it's not fair to slap RE5 for it :)

Now, After watching so many videos of the game, it's pretty clear that Resident Evil has moved on from the formula it made it such a unique franchise and it has become now A LOT more about shooting to be honest :(

If I was to put this game in a genre that is now more appropriate to it, it would have to be a SHOOTER from now on much like gears of war. It's no Longer Survival Horror which is a pity. This is still day one purchase for me anyway but it no longer has the qualities I look for in a Resident Evil game.

After the very disappointing Alone in the dark, the YET I have to play Silent Hill 5, I think there is a huge gap in the market for a proper Survival Horror game but it seems all developers are looking the other way. Right now, Alan Wake looks more Survival horror than anything else but I dont think it will be.

Actually I played Re1 thru 3...Played 4 a little bit but by the time RE4 was in the mix I had moved on to the XBOX and next gen consoles so I had no desire to go back and play RE4 through completion. RE4 for the little bit I played was not a bad game but now that we are firmly entrenched in next gen I guess I'd expect to see and most importantly feel a difference in the character motion, movement and most importantly the gameplay

Personally this was one of the games I was really looking forward to playing but these videos and the gameplay are a BUZZKILL for me...I just feel like this game could and should be so much more than a button mashing zombie fest

Uhh....if you're button mashing, then you're playing it improperly.

I actually got round to playing the demo a couple days ago and it isn't as bad as I had feared, its still not what I would have liked from a RE game but I may very well buy it.

Saying that I doubt it will be a game that I finish as I never managed to finish 4 as I lost insterest half way through. (too much shooting perhaps)

I'm kind of hoping maybe their next RE may be a sequel or similar to Code Veronica, that IMO was the best RE game so far.

How can a shooter be button mashing?

Just saw the vids on the main page, the game looks amazing cant wait for its release.

I think that is what he was pointing out

this game needs a new way of displaying "split-screen" co-op. i get that they where trying to give each player a full 16:9 window, but my god its awful, give me vertical split screen dang nabbit.

The indoors stuff (secret lab) looks much more interesting than the outdoors stuff.

I'd just like to say one thing:

I like how much hate and trash talk this game is getting on here, even while the previous iteration was one of the best games we've seen in the past 2 or 3 years.
Not to mention also inspiring just about every over the shoulder 3rd person game since it became such a hit (ie Dead Space)

Ridiculous eh?

Yeah it's funny
So much nitpicking going on, even though everyone here will be buying it

Yeah the hate for RE5 is just weird. The only nitpick i have is that some procedural animations would make it look even better but i can't really complain.

What? now RE4 invented over the shoulder or what? The first game I remember that got it right was way before RE4, and that is Splinter Cell. In fact, Splinter Cell has a better over the shoulder view/controls.

I honestly don't see much nitpicking, I see people pointing out what are obvious flaws among comments that are simply overhyping different aspects of the game. I've even seen people hype the water, come on now, now those are low standards.

No one can defend what are essentially the same animations as in RE4, in fact, the same gameplay as RE4. If the developers decided that way, it doesn't matter, not because they decide to make a car with 100 polygons it means it looks right or can't be criticized. And I don't see how that is so different from other games, it's more like you are a little too sensitive to the truth. People praising the graphics and others not is common, I don't see anything new there.

My opinion is that this game will be great, but could have been much more if they had just made any effort at all whatsoever to improve some things that would obviously work much better with simple changes. The shooting for example yes, the "inspiring" over the shoulder view. The dead animations, such a simple thing that would not impact gameplay in any other way than to make it better, yet they decided to leave the same repetitive flipping (literally) animations.

I think they took the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" attitude a bit too seriously. Not because it isn't broken it means it's the best it could have been, specially 4 years after, and more so in regards to graphics (animations). In a way they took more of a lazy approach than anything in many areas.

Yeah I guess I see exactly where I said it invented it

I'm glad that's all I need to say to make almost your entire post pointless


Also, you are right, it's really lazy that in 4 years they only added an entire co-op component that can still look great, created new weapons and melee moves, created all new environments, wrote a whole new story, and probably created an experience that equates what greatness was in 4.

Guess next time they'll learn to just improve the animations for you though, that's all you need


There are games out there that have remained the same game for several iterations and still get praise. RE4 was BRAND NEW for the entire series that had been the same for god knows how long. Then as soon as RE4 comes out, everyone expects another different experience.
"If it's not broke don't fix it". What the fuck is that shit? 4 was a huge risk and a whole new take on an established franchise. What's wrong if the sequel to it resembles it.
Please let us know how this doesn't look next gen next, or how it's too brown for you.

Damn, you really like this game.......I can tell, so I guess.....uh forget about it.

You people better be quiet with the hate ok?

GG

Its happens with every great game that keeps the same formula, just look at Halo 3

It's not HATE, it's called loving the franchise for what it offered when it was what it was.

RE4 has changed so much and lost most of what defined Resident Evil even though RE4 is a BRILLIANT game and a great achievement for Capcom. So, it's not so much hate as wanting the series to perhaps bring back some of its charms.
