IGN Resident Evil 5 Review

9.0

Pretty good. I can't wait.

Thoughts?

Written Review Here (other link is for the video)

It looks pretty good and i expected a score of around a low 9. The bosses look pretty sweet too i might buy it alittle earlier than i expected.

It looks like exactly what i was expecting it to be. I'm gonna love it. And i'm so pumped to hear Mercinaries came back.

Too bad you can't do co-op online mercenaries to see how many waves of enemies you and a friend could survive. At least they ended up including it though. i wonder if there are more characters to unlock like in Resident Evil 4.

that game look trash. lmao @ "its not scary" i told ya

game is looks amazing. only one more week guys!

after playing the demo, i was expecting an 8, do not care for this game ( based on demo ) at all, but i loooooovoed 4. T.T

way higher than expected - ign sucks - re5 is a 7 at the most

how come they don't make a big deal out of the controls... i tried playing the demo and the controls were not fun to play with. Is there an option to change it?...

Played it once, well, the demo. It was actually really good, although I only played it for like 5 minutes. Great sound, great environment interactivity and I think it's two player as well! When it comes out, it's probably going to be 70 bucks...which is quite expensive to me...

If you played RE4 and are comfortable with those controls then changing them to type A will really help. That's what I did.

It's going to be a great game, but it's not resident evil anymore.

Resident evil is about poo-ing yourself as you see a shadow crawing up a wall, and a groan that you can't quite place where it came from.

not bang-bang, your dead, more ammo yay. more bang-bang

this game shouldve gottan a 7.5/8 out of 10 ...

i totally agree.

so RE is no longer scary and silent hill is no longer fun.

WHERE AM I TO GO TO GET A GOOD SCARE!!!:cry: (on consoles)

does anyone no how long the campaign will be and if there is any more modes other than mercenary and the campaign?

It's a good review, don't get me wrong from the start... But I really hate the fact they keep mentioning that it's not a traditional resident evil game. They say it's not scary, you don't have to watch your ammo, it's more action-packed... There are also a lot of comment froms gamers like: "Resident Evil is dead for me", "I don't like it because they changed it" ," That's it I'm buying dead space", "I don't want an action-game, I want RE"...

Face it, Resident Evil has evolved. It has evolved from a pure survival horror game to a fantastic mix of the action and survival horror genre. It's no longer survival horror, it's survival action. And if you don't like that, then don't buy it. It's simple, RE has moved on to the future and is trying to mix different genres of games. I personally like it and I think it's great that the developpers are trying out new stuff on the next gen-consoles.

It would be very boring if every developper would just create simple sequels but with nicer graphics on the next-gen consoles.

So I applaud for Capcom and their courage to create a unique sequel and moving the RE-franchise into the future.

I don't mind people complaining. It's just every body is screaming I don't like it because it's not resident evil anymore before they have even played it!

Oh yeah I looked up "evolution" just for you (you should feel honored :))

ev·o·lu·tion (v-lshn, v-)
n.
1. A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.

It CHANGES, yeah RE has evolved and it has CHANGED into a franchise that a lot of people of the original games may not like, but a whole lot of others will like it more now.

No I didn't miss the better form part, that's my whole point!

I like RE5 and I think it's great it's more action-packed.I loved RE4 and RE5, I just don't like people who scream: "I don't like it because it's not RE anymore". It's still RE and I still like it!

[QUOTE="dukebd699"][QUOTE="dthach614"] i played 4 and 5's demo. that's all i needed.

dthach614

In some cases. You do know that this was from an early stage of the game's development and every single site/magazine that have played the full game have said the demo is nothing like that game as well right? I like the older ones so much more but the fact of the matter is, RE5 has alot of praise and RE4 is one of the most praised games this decade so they must be doing something right.

[QUOTE="dthach614"][QUOTE="dukebd699"] Because demos are ALWAYS great representations of the final game right? Because you do know GS and IGN have said that the demo was a terrible representation of the final game as was the one for 4.dukebd699

learn to use some proper english. "we have a right to complaint," "we are allow to voice our opinions," "resident evil didn't evolved." haha, are you asian?

Capcom knows that if you make the same game with better graphics, nobody is going to buy it. that is why they changed the game so much in Resident Evil 4. they were trying to make another change in RE5, and imo it looks like they did a really good job. i guess i will find out in a week.

Hear ye! Hear ye!

I will listen to other people's opinion and I respect other people's opinion. But first of all come up with a proper opinion in decent english so the vast majority of the gamers who are surfing the net can understand you.

Now that this is settled: where the hell did I leave my xbox360 controller so I can continue gaming...
