what do you think of resident evil 5

i just played it, so far i like the idea of co-op mode. i dont realy like the controles much and it could of used a melee button. I been playing left for dead a lot before i played the reident evil 5 demo. I know their different types of games but so far left 4 dead seems better. Also resident evil 5 seems much harder then the others, which is fine. I am still planning to buy this game but the only thing i dont liie is the controles, they seem clunkly and not being able to melee makes it worse

sucks

freakin garbage

I can't say it's a bad game, because it's not. But, it should definitely not be called Resident Evil.Canvas_Of_Flesh

I enjoyed the demo. The new shooter controls are great, and I like the new inventory system. Sheva is a real step up from Ashley, thanks to superior A.I and weapons. Some people on the RE board said they've had problems with aiming.... but I've had none whatsoever since I put it on the highest sensitivity. People should also keep in mind that this game isn't supposed to get scary until later--much like RE4. Were you really scared at the beginning of RE4? Because I sure wasn't. The only scary parts in that game were when it was dark and a zombie creeped up on you from behind. The earlier RE games weren't scary as well.

Some things in the demo were a little buggy, and it also took me a little while to realize that you can't kill the chainsaw guy or the axe guy, but I enjoyed the demo a good deal. Not the best, but not the worst.

Can't wait to check it out.

RE2 outsold RE4 on the GC with flying colors.

I love the style myself,but you're incorrect if you think the series can only sell well with the RE4 camera view.

The demo looks great, but I'm very disappointed with the controls. It's almost identical to RE4. Times have changed we need something new.Soulreavercross

I agree with you somewhat.At the same time though,the franchise has co-op now with the RE4 style.That's new,and it's super fun so far.

Just wait for the reviews and hope for some extra surprises.

i, personally, will never be able to get over it. I stopped complaining about this when a lot of heated arguments lead to idiotic rants. But for me, the truth of the matter is the series doesn't feel like Resident Evil, no matter how much better it sells and appeals to the mainstream. I still stand by the fact that this series (RE4 and RE5) should have been a spinoff. But then again, thinking this way im only really trying to please myself and the rest of the classic RE fans. Isn't really fair but meh. I still think the original concept for RE4 was much better than the top selling outcome...but thats me.

I will most likely buy it around release. I would, however, like to whine a little. Mostly about how you have to go through the menu to equip weapons. C'mon now, looks like you can only really carry a few guns on your person. Why can't you equip 2 weapons and have a hot button to switch between them instead of digging through the menu while in combatcametall

1. You can quickly switch between weapons and other items with the D-pad.

2. You can kill the chainsaw and axe guys. They just take a lot to bring down. As a matter of fact, you have to kill the chainsaw guy if you want to proceed.

I really enjoyed the demo. The co-op is silky smooth, the inventory system has been simplified, you don't need to pause the game to switch weapons, the partner AI doesn't seem to get in the way, the game feels more difficult (definitely a good thing) and the white knuckle action from RE4 is back and even better in my opinion.

As for dumbing down the gore, I didn't notice it until I read about it in this thread. I agree that it has been lessened slightly, but I definitely wouldn't say it bothers me.

The graphics are also incredible. I felt like I was playing on a high-performance PC.

Edit: And the controls are what you'd expect from translating RE4 from the GCN controller to the 360's. Outdated? Maybe, but they work well and I couldn't think of anything better for this type of game.

I downloaded the demo, but then did not get to play it. I was greeted with three flashing red lights.

So, I put in a repair request, at least it doesn't look like it'll cost me. So, I'll try the demo out when I get it back and working. Hope it doesn't take to long... I don't know how I'll be able to stand not having my xbox; its my media center for streaming movies, music, TV shows, Netflix, and games. Arg.

i am also wondering if this game would flop
