When I first heard about Resident Evil 5, I was very excited. The first screens got me very pumped up for the game, plus Chris would finally be playable. However, after I've seen some gameplay trailers, I'm a little scared this is just going to be semi-beefed up Resident Evil 4. Other games have fallen into that trap, and players haven't been too pleased (for example, arguably, GTA 4, DMC 4, Smackdown vs Raw '08, etc...).

Plus, I'm very skeptical about the co-op. I've never played a co-op game online before, such as Army of Two, so I can't really justify my opinion that well, but I can just see the true potential of this game getting ruined by playing with some 12-year-old idiot who just wants to screw around. Seems like a cool conecpt, especially when I have a friend over and I could play co-op locally, but that's it really...

Hopefully I'm wrong, and this game turns out to be awesome and everything I'm worried about turns out great, but I'm not really expecting that. Anyone else share my opinion?

It does look like a beefed up RE4 at the moment, but there was a lot more to RE4 than just the village section and I expect the same of RE5. Who knows were it's story could end up leading?

I am however, a little wary about the co-op. What's the point of forcing it on people? Why can't I just play without a stupid ADD kid or even stupider AI bothering me >_>?

I expect to enjoy it very much because it looks like it will have some cool action and a decent story but it's not really a survival horror game anymore. Doesn't look the least bit scary to me. Occult Portuguese people or zombies are much scarier than some raging africans. RE5 needs more scary atmosphere.

the game looks great to me. only thing worries me is the comment made by one of the devs to the effect that thay were makeing re5 harder than re4. re4's first play threw was a bit rough. i just hope thay dont kill the fun of the game by makeing it to hard.

I don't have high hopes for the game, might just buy it to keep it in my Resident Evil game collection.

the only thing that worries me is that they show some of the game play in the daylight. I just dont find that very frighting. But if you dont want to play with kids i would say just play with someone you know is adult.

I was very excited about it until I saw the forced co-op. I know some people love that but I hate having to worry about friendly NPCs when I play, especially a game like this (Read: Ashley). I'll still buy it though.

Even if it does end up like Resident Evil 4 with better graphics, I would still be happy. Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games. I'll have friends getting the game and it will be easy to find someone to play co-op with online. Even if I didn't have friends getting it, it's not that hard to find someone to play it with.
