Will Resident Evil 5 be able to live up to the greatness of Resident Evil 4?

Resident Evil 4 was an amazing game.

All versions (apart from the dreaded PC version) scored above 9.

And Resident Evil 5 seems similar with the same over the shoulder view.

Now I haven't played Resident Evil 5 but Resident Evil 4 has got an eriness to at as it's set in a remote european village.

But I'm worried that Resident Evil 5 won't have this, solely because it's set during the day (for the most part I think).

And I don't know enough about the game as I haven't played the demo.

But does anyone else think that Resident Evil 5 may not be able to live up to Resident Evil 4?

Because Resi 4 was a pretty danm sweet game.

I played the demo and all i can say that is better than RE4.McdonaIdsGuy

RE4 had a huge impact on not only the series but the wider gaming community. It was quite influential, as it was a surprise ... the series hadn't shown anything astonishing like that before. RE5 will not have that sort of effect, unless something drastic happens. That's not saying RE5 will be a god game, possibly even better than RE4, but people are now expecting something that great, and there will be no surprise if it is sodaqua_99

Downloaded the demo using my Japanese account, i think it was around 3 weeks ago.

On my first play i felt it was so so, after a few more attempts it was astoundingly good.

More of the same, pretty much - but what could possibly be wrong with that?

I'm not sure,but I doubt it it will blow me away as much as RE4 did.Lto_thaG

I've played through the demo many, many, times, by myself, and cooperatively, and, based on what I've seen and played, Resident Evil 5 is going to be an absolutely fantastic game.

i think itl more of the same, and thats not necessarially a bad thing, RE4 was awesome, and the PC version wasnt dreaded, mod the heck out of it, and it blows by the ps2 / GC / wii versionsGTR2addict

You guys have problems...

RE1, 2, 3, and 0 were ALL the SAME. Now because 5 will be similar to 4 everyone is saying "buh buh buh its da sayme animationz!!11!1oneshift+1"

GET OVER IT!

You just can't please all these people with their twisted logic. Everyone gets mad when Banjo changed into what it is today, yet everyone is complaining because 5 is similar to 4 (which is one of the greatest games of all-time!). Does that make any lick of sense? But then trash like Halo and Gears of War stays the same, no one cares. :|

*exhales*

And to answer the question, yes 5 will live up to 4 just how 2 lived up to 1.

That is all.

in all honestly I think it will, keeping the core gameplay while adding a deeper story and and new horror elements(watch the trailers) will be a winning combination

haters will be owned

RE5 will live up to RE4, the Demo already has me hooked, the added melee moves, co-op work... feels much better and ads much more tension, its a lot harder now too, having to worry about not just your self but partner, the new revolutionary co-op B button ordering commands, thanking and asking for certain weaponary/iteams is a dam awesome addition, it feels much more of a survival game. Little things like, tweaked animations, new combo melee's, weapons, levels, addition of co-op/team work buddy system, destructibility..etc is more than enough for me. People need to understand what a sequal means, RE4 was only 1 game to make a major change, RE5 will continue the success and the RE6 will make another dramatic change. Also, we've barely seen anything of RE5, level wise....Capcom are keeping it under tight raps. They have assured us that the game will be much scarier and have darker levels. I have no doubt the final game will be amazing. Too bad people judge a game by a few vids....pisses me off. Capcom won't show everything of the game, since they don't want to spoil it. We have also yet to see much of the unique RE5 addition...gonna be sweet. Eyezonmii

I don't think it'll create the same "impact" that RE4 did to the gaming industry...I mean sure it's gonna be cool and everything (since it's the first in this gen), but it isn't gonna cause the same shock that the original did...stuff like gameplay involved in cinematics, or the amazing over-the-shoulder view.

IMO RE5 will kinda be like GeoW2, since there wasn't so much room for improvement, they'll just "add on" a few, cool, things.
