Any RE4 fans not too interested in RE5?

I mean I'll totally rent it, the single-player will be fun to play through.

However, the game is so identical to RE4 it's kind of lame, and definately not worth $60 IMO. "Why mess with something that isn't broken", I know I know. But RE5 really takes that saying to an embarassing level, and it's a shame because the franchise had so much more potential after RE4.


Anyone else with me? Or is it basically agreed that RE5 is gonna be TEH BESTSST GAME EVAR OMG GRAPHIXXX!!!1

sounds like you need to stop buying sequels then, cus RE5 is more of a step forward than Geow 1 to geow 2(which play almost exactly the same) or call of dut, or halo3GTR_FX

I'm in that boat. I played Re4 something like 16 times, around there, and i'm just not that into RE5....AAllxxjjnn

Yep same with GeoW2

Me. From what I've seen in the demo it's a huge dissapointment.

There are a few posters that have this sentiment, but only for RE5. Is it because it's NOT on Wii? Are we seeing NIntendo fans angry that RE5 has bybassed the machine, since it lacks in nextgen power?

In any event, what you are saying is HALO 3, MARIOKART, GeoW2, ROCKBAND 2, and many other games are a shame...and that's just not the case.

This is NOT the same game, it's RE5, and until you beat it, and post the same thing, your post won't be relevant.

lol. What fanboy issues, when you said, "TEH BESTSST GAME EVAR OMG GRAPHIXXX!!!1"?

Look, you want bigger changed, but it seems to me you are new to the gaming world, or at least to RESIDENT EVIL.

Resident EVIL 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica, 0, and REmake all played the same.

Then Resident Evil 4 came along...and you SUDDENLY :roll: want Resident Evil 5 to be vastly different?

Capcom struck gold, and just like any company, they are going to at least see some returns on this new RE as long as they want. This is the first TRUE RE4 sequel, and if you didn't know, RE4 DREW in more fans, so it only makes sense to appease the new fans along with the old.

On top of that, CAPCOM is juggling a new engine, so tackling a new engine AND new scheme is just crazy talk.

When RE4 came along, they already had PLENTY of practice that gen...think abou it that way.

The Wii is the Wii, also. I just wanted to say that. No Wii RE5 for you. Capcom knows that RE4 debuted on the Gamecube, then a PS2 version came along with more weapons, missions, and outfits.

Anyone saying it was "odd going back to twin analogs" waited too long to play RE4 in the first place, or desperately wanted to play an easier version of RE4 on Wii. RE5 wasn't designed for those waiting on Wii, but rather the people that bought it launch day for Gamecube/PS2.

Not going to buy it for a awhile. i got other games id rather spend my money on.JangoWuzHere

exactly. BUT i did like the demo. I might buy the game later down the road if the reviews are high enough.

What is going to be funny is when they "reboot" the series with RE6 and alienate all the action-centric gamers who came to love the series through RE4.foxhound_fox

The game is very different from RE4, story looks amazing and powerful. I have been hyping RE5 for a while then when the demo was released I was sceptical because I really did not care for the A.I. partner. Then I played online co-op and relized the game is amazing with someone that knows what they are doing (played one other time and got paired up with a moron that got killed instantly because he dicided to stand in front of the chainsaw guy).wooooode

As far as survival horror games go I honestly think RE5 is more of a step away from what made RE4 so great. It's more of gears clone with gimped controls. Dahaka-UK

[QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="HoldThePhone"]

Why are you bringing fanboy issues into this thread 0_o ? I'd said I'd rent the game because it's clearly going to be fun to play through.

Halo 3, MarioKart, and GeOW2 all changed very little. They kept to the same formula that was proven to be fun. It's just a shame that we aren't seeing bigger changes. Because while RE5 will most likely be more fun to play than RE4, it could of been so much more IMO -- and that's a shame.HoldThePhone

Well, History shows that Capcom operates the way most console devs operate, like I described above. Blizzard didn't jump as far as you think, they did plenty of games inbetween, which threw you off....and they are a PC Dev now.

Remember, Blizzard is different than Capcom.

Well Capcom seem to label RE4 & 5 as survival horror which only makes me assume theres survival horror and then theres those true survival horror games that got long since forgotten. As a shallow survival horror game, RE4 was good in it's own way sort of. I honestly think basing off the demo, RE5 dumbs down certain aspects that where in RE4. Like the inventory system, the co-op feels somewhat tacked and only drains whatever horror this game was trying to ensue, and the Africa setting just isnt appealing at all in the slightest.

[QUOTE="ArisShadows"][QUOTE="6matt6"] and then watch them into hypocrits. This will be highly amusing. II_Seraphim_II

man, a reboot wont be that much of a change. I thought it's a reboot in the story and not the gameplay, at most they might return to the servival horror formula. then again this was just a PR person talking (or a developer or something), when the execs come in and say stick to the damn formula, you stick to the damn formula.

I'm in that boat. I played Re4 something like 16 times, around there, and i'm just not that into RE5....AAllxxjjnn

II love all of the RE games, and I was very hyped for RE5 untill I played the demo. I'll probably just rent it to get the story. its become an action game with bad action... therefore.. its a bad game

Rent is not an option for me here in the Philippines.

I'm gonna buy the game when the price climbs a little down.

Not that I was a huge fan of resident evil before RE4 (still not a huge fan), I've never even beaten any of them, but I enjoyed what I played of code veronica moreso then RE4, obviously control scheme and such were better on RE4, but it lacked some of the soul of the franchise. RE5 doesn't seem to be doing anything to get back this soul, and I was going to sweep it under the carpet, but once I played the demo, and did some of the co-op, I found it to be a lot of fun, not the kind that would make me do a day one buy, but enough that I eventually plan to get it.

Never understood the huge Resident Evil 4 fanbase, it also only scored 0.1 higher then Code Veronica anyway, no huge feat.

I'm not really interested in the whole co-op thing. I don't like how your AI buddy steals your ammo and does nothing helpful. To me, it should of stayed one person, cause if you want to play with others play Multiplayer or something like Halo. I don't think co-op fits into this genre IMO and I'll just be playing single. That's how I enjoy my games the most.immortality20
