RE5 haters make me laugh. The inventory system is perfect! It adds so much tension and I thought that's what all these hardcore gamers wanted? Everything is amazing and I have my LE preorded and ready for March 13th. :D

I just hope they fix the enemy AI. :?

[QUOTE="HAZE-Unit"][QUOTE="IronBass"] Indeed. But insult them won't solve anything. A subtle explanation would help a lot more ;) IronBass

I didn't play the shanty town level again after getting killed from the chainsaw guy by accident, I was running away and I was going to look behind me and I was not used to the controller at the time, so accidently I ran through him like a mad man then BAM face to face with him lol.

The thing that made me go face to face with chainsaw guy is the turning around controls, I can't turn around quickly.

but I noticed some of what you said with the axe guy.

It is better to make it believable than dumb, I mean when the first teaser trailer came out, we saw shadows of running zombies, it gave me a feeling that it would be the scariest RE ever, now I see this happening, I hope they improving the ai with the full game.

And ask yourself this question, why did they make zombies run in the first place then? I don't think the purpose of zombies running at me is just to make a false alarm.

Resident Evil 5 will probably flop dark-warmachine

i dunno what to say to people the derive a feeling of tension & suspense from a convoluted and frustrating control system. then again, i dunno what to say to people that laugh at others opinions. so lets leave it at that then.

it's poor & lazy design. end of story. they should focus more on creating a compelling & tense & suspenseful game through the actual gameplay, not through frustration guised as tension via a stupid 3 button inventory swap system. almost as lame & lazy as overusing quick-time events in games.

Aha, you know that the old inventory system system cant work if theres coop online? I dont see how it's a frustrating control system? Maybe you want to start rolling away, take cover and shoot from there? Then RE ain't your game. Also lol at how a 10 minutes demo of a non-final build is making you all claim the game is broken.

It's the same as RE4... you just lack the easy escape menu button to choose anything that will blow every plague next to you. I'm pretty sure the AI will be more crazed on the higher settings. If the chainsaw guy is that slow it's because the inventory system would be impossible to open otherwise. I'm sure at the hardest difficulty you wont have time to blink.

never played games using online co-op. in the final version of this game, can you save your game on co-op and stop playing, and then pick up where you left off with some new partner? also, can you skip cutscenes because i do not want a partner to skip them.

EDIT: iDK about the someone new thing though

does it only save when you host a game? can you save when you join?apeters58

I almost cried the first time I saw the controls, and the tutorial was non-existant, but I got used to the controls eventually. I hate having to re-arrange things Gears-style (handgun on the bottom, main gun on the right) every time. :x I find Sheva competent, and she never takes ammo unless I tell her to. She sure was better than some peple I have met online.:PTheGrat1

And she does take ammo, just not ammo that is in your direct path.

'it works'.

of course it works.

it just servers a purpose that i find incredibly annoying. it's used as a stop-gap to create suspense / tension because it doesn't exist in the game outside of it. how challenging would RE be if you had the control over your character that you have in Gears? or Resistance? or Uncharted? you would absolutely wipe the floor with them.

it's as if my character in RE5 is an arthritic old man that can't remember where which holster his gun is in, but the model shows what appears to be a healthy and alert individual that has no issues firing his weapon, or with melee. all i can peg it down to is Capcom caving to hardcore fans that think outdated control schemes are 'l33t' or critical to the series, or them being lazy and not wanting to create the tension / suspense through improvements to the enemy AI, enemy types, etc.

When I play single player, I dread having Sheva along. It's not like she can't handle her health that well... It's her over-use of bullets. She uses bullets and hits guys in the arm and such. She uses sometimes four on one guy. I usually use one or zero. I shoot them in the head, and then I smack them with my fist. Sometimes, they swing at me, I back away, and then come running back with my machete. When I have 60 bullets left in my handgun, she has zero in both guns she has! I always have to give her some so she doesn't die, and she just wasts it. That's my only problem. Also, is there any different between the PS3 version and the 360 version? I heard the latter has better FRAMERATES, but I've also heard that's only in the demo, and that the final game will be equal. What's the deal on this?DeathScape666

fixed it for ya. I Played both, it's like DMC 4 their both equal

if you have access to both versions why not post some pictures? but the gaf thread i saw, and another somewhere else, showed better textures on 360.

It what I see counts, zooming in a 100 times to see an extra wrinkle is nitpicking, and have you seen the gametrailers comparison

Anyone wanna play the demo now either ps3 or 360?Animal-Mother

Some of the textures look a bit sharper on X360, but it's really hard to see the difference while playing. However the X360 has screen tearing while the PS3 does not.

That's what I read too. The PS3 demo is the same shown at some gameshow last year. The retail should be a bit more polished.

The "official discussion threads" are getting kinda short, lately.

On topic, the game needs:

1) less Shiva.

2) a better inventory system.

3) yes, it needs shoot-&-run.

4) a bigger gun. It looks like a water gun.

5) more black enemies (it is Africa, right?)

6) a chainsaw enemy that kills you on contact

7) the walking/running/turning around/aiming mechanics need improvements

IronBass

1. Yes and no... co-op with a human buddy is just pure awesome, computer shiva definately requires too much babysitting tho. Overall I'd say keep it the way it is.

2. Eh, realtime inventory does build the panic ALOT more. I remember in RE4 if I was getting swarmed I would just turn on the inventory take a breather and then whip out a nade and pwn em XD.

3. Heck no... this is not gears of war. Throw out all the stuff people say about it building the atmosphere and making the game tense(although its true, the controls do this). The fact of the matter is, if you make RE5 run and gun the game becames WAY TOO EASY. Your enemies sure don't have guns; there is a couple of guys with crossbows but the majority are mindless shambling morons. If you could run and gun all that happens is you just constantly move backwards as you own everything coming towards you. RE5 controls are great the way they are now; they're perfect for the survival horror and they maintain a level of difficulty in the game.

4. Maybe Chris' arms are just too big :P... makes everything else look smaller.

5. Can't argue with this one, although I don't really notice once I actually get in the game.

6. The chainsaw guy sure kills me in one hit on contact...

7. I think the mechanics are fine atm. The quick turn works wonders(just like it did in RE4). Holding a button and then running is easy to navigate... even more than walking IMO.

[QUOTE="Eyezonmii"]The Buddy system is revolitionary IMO, its intense in the heat of battle using the voice commands to ask for things or thank them, both needing to apply to an dual actioin is pure awesome, the way you grab and give items is so well done, IMO. What capcom did to the 3rd person perspective/camera genre (revolutionized it) have now done it again with the co-op system, IMO. This has been stated by a review too. jg4xchamp

[QUOTE="Eyezonmii"][QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] um there COOP is standard fair to be quite honest...its just a good mix of stuff seen in Gears of War, Army of Two, Left 4 Dead, and a bunch of other coops I wouldn't say it is revolutionary..hell the OTS wasn't revolutionary either for RE 4...it was done before.. RE 4 just did it right(same with Gears of War with the cover system). RE 4 is more of an influential game than a revolutionary game, but that is my opinion. Animal-Mother
