*Hello Chris!*

New trailer:
http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_4151_en.html



I didn't see anything recent on Resi 5, so decided to make a new topic as there's been more info coming out.

New trailer gives us more of an impression of what gameplay will be like, looks like it's keeping the Resi 4 engine, which is awesome. Chris seems to able to dodge some attacks, ie. two guys run up and attempt to axe him, and he dodges right underneath. Notice Chris using various moves (some form of martial art) without stunning the enemies.

The amount of enemies on screen is simply amazing. The graphics seem top notch as well, and it seems very fluid whilst in combat with enemies. Also, that guy with the flail you glimpse for a moment, possible replacement for Dr Salvador?

As for what they are, if they're not ganados (as apparently that was a side story), I don't know what they are. I've not played most of the other ones, so I don't know whether it's a T/G virus, something new or whatever. They do have similar behaviour to Ganados, whether that's just the game engine or the intention, I don't know.



Oh, and for laughs, here's an african woman condemning Resi 5 for portraying Black people as savages.

Nice hypocrisy from this woman.

Anyway, this game makes me wet my kecks <3

So THAT'S where he's been this whole time, in the gym nonstop between code veronica and this game..:P

I mean, look at his arms, they're bigger than his sleeves!

Seriously, this game does look pretty good though I hope it's more than Resi4 in the next gen.
Looking forward to seeing how capom balance the tension of an incoming crowd to your firepower.
We definitely need a return of Merenaries mode with online rankings, on a good day, Merenaries was better then the main game.;)

Siriku
14-08-2007, 01:09
Oh god, yes.

Mercenaries was the business! Me and my friend were playing for an hour today, we've gotten quite crap. He had his head cut clean off by a Bella Sister in the Village Level, and we died all the time. No 100k scores as is the norm with us =(.

You know when you die at 11k, and your high score is 150k, that you've gone a slight bit downhill,XD. Still, it's a testament to how long it lasts. 4 Levels, 5 characters, yet it's still addictive and fun to play. And online scoreboards? Hell yes.

The incoming crowds look at least triple the size of Resi 4, so i'm hoping they're more generous with SMG/Shotgun ammo at the very least, since it looks like the huge crowds may stick for the whole game.

And that guy with the flail, must be a replacement for Dr Salvador, or at least one of the replacements. This huge delay of about 2 more years must account for much more being added in. Which is only a good thing, yet we have to wait so long =(.

Alastor
14-08-2007, 01:13
I don't think he will replace the do, as Resi4 had similar guys, didn't it?

Krauser was broken, IMO, what do you think?

Siriku
14-08-2007, 01:19
Krauser was there if you felt like playing a badass and/or felt like an easy game (or needed to feel secure until you got the hang of things)

He's broken, but only due to the arm. And only barely due to how fast it recharges. Oddly enough though, his bow isn't the most accurate in the world. I end up sticking to Wesker, he's the one I usually rack up 100k or more with.

Leon is underpowered though. They could have given him a Striker rather then the basic Shotgun. He's for experts though i'll wager. I can use him, I just prefer Ada/Wesker. I've killed Salvador X with a knife a couple times for a laugh.

I've always thought of the tiers to be something like

TOP-
Krauser
Middle-
Wesker/Ada
Lower-
Hunk
Lowest-
Leon

Interesting point about the flail guy though, he could be a general enemy, although I felt the trailer made him out to be more then that. Another sub-boss perhaps, like a Garrador, or Regenerator?

Mercenaries mode all the way. I also usually use Wesker. I can't get enough of exploding grenades. And he looks so cool. Anyway ... Resident Evil 5 looks awesome and I can't wait for it to be released.

Siriku
14-08-2007, 13:05
FPS_Leo, if you have a PS2 or Wii, I urge you to get hold of Resident Evil 4. It's practically the same, action based more then puzzles unlike the previous installments.

Best game of 2005.

The Wii version has a much, much, superior control, you'll love it.

RetroBob

I played original RE4 but lost interest at some point. I'm playing through it now on the Wii and I literally cannot put it down. The controls are just fantastic. There are now no excuses for poor shooter controls in Wii games now that Capcom have shown how to do it properly.

No, it stays in the RE 0,1,2 and 3 stories. Does not touch Code Veronica, 4 or 5.

Also, be careful not to revive too many old posts with one-liners. This thread was dead for 4 months. That can annoy some people if done too much.

You read my mind Rocman107. :biggrin: I've been watching the one liners and once they get bad enough I make a compilation and warning. Its always best to contribute to the thread more than just your opinion on something or only posting "your list".

Wasn't that bad compared to some games on the Nintendo console, only A few months.

Reknoc

Two months, but it felt like forever, especially considering 4 Resident Evil was a brand new game that more or less ditched the original games gameplay. Unlike certain Nintendo games that required a long wait.

Well Capcom said that they did not set out to make a racist game and that since it said in Code Veronica that Africa is the origin of the virus so they were bound by that fact and that when the first trailer came out poeple misunderstood their intentions be cause of the lack of info on the game.

And as for Jill well this is Resi Evil after all I'm pretty sure shes gonna pop up somewhere although I would like to see Barry Burton return I thought he was great and not just because of the Jill Sandwich line.:biggrin:

Well I've always fancied being able to play a proper resident evil game with a friend :P the whole idea is just so awesome....not many games where we actually work together, most of the time we shoot each other, or push each other off ledges...

I get the feeling with this there'll be a lot of "RELOADING, COVER ME!!! *roll* *BAM BAM BAM BAM* 'rrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuu' "FALL BACK, FASTER, FASTER O___O *pop pop, bang* NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! *gets eaten*

Yea, but it fairness it kinda would.

Wondered how you could ask how much like "Resident Evil 4 is this?" for 5 pages, the answer was to put in massive screenshots in the middle of the page.

So Resident Evil 5
Yes

Looks abit similar to Resident Evil 4
I guess

How similar to Resident Evil 4 is it?
Very

Nobody's getting it on PS3 unless Sony get a late Christmas Miracle and the PS3 version isn't the worst out of the lot, like maybe they'll port it on Wii aswell I dunno.

I pre ordered this today on X360. I did pre-order the collectors edition but I don't think Australia is getting the same CE as the one that is on Play-Asia. I will find out closer to release and if we arn't I will just buy a copy from Play-Asia. Only because I'm a CE/LE whore. :wub:

Dro
27-01-2009, 06:03
ok. this exclusive X360 RE5 demo is available in all regions now.
I played it for a little while. and you know. I didn't like it :(

RE4 was one of my favorite games as I remember it. But in new chapter some old tricks just do not work.
I think coop was not a great idea too.

Of course I'll buy RE5, since Capcom has very good confidence credit, but I didn't like the demo and this is uneasy note.
I have both nextgen systems but will purchase X360 version, since multiplatform games looks much better with 360 on FullHd TV.

Really? I found it to be quite decent, it's hard to judge how the game will be since for the demo you're basicially stuck in two "arenas". The new controls kinda suck but its better when you switch to 4Resi controls. Not too sure about this co-op thing, Sheva just seems like she'll be an ammo drain, though if you give her health items she does a pretty good job of healing.

richarddavies
02-02-2009, 13:25
They've been complaints about the inventory and sheva sometimes bein a bitch and alot of whinin about the controls but from what i've read from peoples naggin in the control regards, there main problem seems to be that it doesn't play like gears of war or something. Alot of feedback I have read people don't like that you can't run and shoot. It's like they've never played a resi game before.

Ah yes, I forgot about the Inventory. Though I imagine it's because this game is trying to lean more on the action and in co-op you don't really have much time to mess about in 4's inventory so they just dumped some terrible quick inventory that doesn't pause the game.

Controls are fine, the people complaining probably never played 4 which is a shame. It's also a shame this is never coming to the Wii since I felt 4 on the Wii was the best out of the lot.

Yea it's very rare that I'd say a game used the Wii controls almost perfectly, let alone a port, but there you go they were and it had the excellent graphics of the cube version and the extras of the PS2 version.

Actually, I replayed this demo 5 more times and to be honest, I've changed my opinion. The game's very glitchy, sometime, we wait 2 seconds to a bullet to connect to an enemy, no walking while aiming and it's very similar to RE4. It's an OK game, but it's kinda empty. :unsure:

What? :unsure:

I haven't noticed any bad glitches while playing, certainly no game ruining errors. Plus this is a demo build and no doubt patches will be released.

On top of that....duh...its Resident Evil 4 with nicer graphics XD its all I wanted so I'm happy. I was overly critical of not being able to aim while shooting but it would ruin the game if you could...its a shitload scarier having to stop and see them all coming toward you :P

That sounds more like lag than a glitch, though I don't know anything about the PS3 version... Wouldn't surprise me if it was the worst out of the two.

Also I don't get people's problem with stopping and aiming.

So I guess it's out now (Friday the 13th oh Capcom you clever people, oh wait Friday the 13th is unlucky not scary) I'll be picking it up after I finish work.

In a few weeks the game will have a VS. mode! That's a terrible terrible idea, there is no way in hell VS. on Resident Evil 5 would be any good, and even better it's gonna cost 400MS (around £4 on PSN) points!

Reviews have been varied from good to excellent, all of them remark that Sheva's AI isn't brilliant, the inventory is too fiddly, the exploration has been cut down even more from 4, and that there are even less puzzles than 4 that are even easier.

Oh and also there's no Merchant.

Protip: If the demo is any indication don't use the default control setup, it's rubbish, instead change it to setting 3 or 4... Which over one says that it's the same as 4's (Type A)

Edit: Sheva can go die in a fire.

LOL! At least you can request for them and she'll give them to you. I mean if she's already full on health and doesn't use the herbs.

I got the 360 version. As of how much I've played, I'm enjoying it, it feels like it could another sequel in a franchise in which there's no going back. I'm pretty much comfortable with the default controls because I can side-step while walking and that aiming and shooting is similar to a first-person shooter. I should try out the RE4 styled control scheme in RE5 the next time I play since I hear a lot of people preferring it over the default control scheme.

Gavvie
15-03-2009, 15:18
Yeah, I've left it on the default scheme for now, because to be honest I can't remember how RE4 handled, so I figured I might as well learn a new scheme rather than trying to remember an old one.

15-03-2009, 15:22

I'm thinking I'll wait for it to go down in price first -_-

Gavvie
15-03-2009, 16:03
I reckon it's a very good game, from what I've played of it so far. It's not going to be as good as Resi 4, but it's still well worth a play.

Got it on Xbox 360, and if you're wanting it cheap, I believe ShopTo are selling it for just over £30.

Their delivery is the fastest I've seen on any online store :) which is in their favour, though I generally buy my new games at GAME (reward points and I get it then and there) and ShopTo don't really carry a large catalogue of discounted older titles, so the last thing I bought from them was Alone in the Dark XD

ShopTo are relatively new, so that'd be why their back catalogue isn't too great.

Anyway, let's get back on topic now :) Resi 5's dogs are absolutely awful, especially on Veteran.

Loving this game...half way through chapter 5 and it's been a blast. Can't wait to finish it and play co-op on the hardest mode!

Finished playing this last night. Overall I think it was a very good game. Probably doesn't deserve the bad press it's getting but it has really changed into something that's nothing like a Resident evil game anymore. While playing it at the start I wondered why everyone was complaining and saying how they don't like it because it isn't like gears, and I couldn't understand the problem but when I got on the last few chapters and some new enemys and play types pop up I got it. I don't want to spoil it but it really is trying to rip off games like gears.

You mean the racism right? Cause I don't think it got many bad reviews.

I'm up to chapter like, 5-2 or something and so far the game just isn't as great as I expected. It's basically like Capcom made a Resi4 book and then copied that for Resi5 only they couldn't put as much in because they wanted to use a fancy font so you've got a 6 page book with 2 or 3 words a page, and it also hates you if you don't have a partner to read it with.

Actually the Zero Punctuation review is completely spot on for this game.

Just everyone whinig about the control and how it should of been more like gears and it's not long enough, I don't like Sheva wah wah wah kinda bad press it gets. I do prefer 4 to be fair but I wasn't expecting to prefer this to be honest. When I played resi 4 it was completely new for the series so I revelled in it. Now I can see effort has gone into this game but it doesn't change the fact i've seen it before. Now i've finished it I do think the racism thing was basically completely out of order. Just don't get it.

Yea it wasn't much of a problem, till the uh, tribals in mud huts. I have no problem with the controls, they're perfectly fine. Sheva however was totally useless throughout, she didn't seem to notice the different between a slight nick and near death when using healing items she would flat out ninja on me.
The only thing that seemed to get alot of work were the impressive visuals, which even I admit are fantastic.

There's bits with sheva I didn't like. I was never really short on health items thoug hso I didn't find that a problem but I didn't think she was particulary good with bosses though. She was just a bit like an arsehole on your elbow. Like on the boat, why can't she use a turret? it would've helped loads.

What when you fight the Salazer replacement? You can order her to use the turrets. I found the bosses to be way to easy aswell come to think of it, I mean Resi 4's may have been just abit too hard but 5's is just too easy.

You can order her on the turrets? aw man that would've made my life easier, I didn't know that. I played through it on normal difficulty and funnily enough I found some bosses on harder than 4 but you wouldn't of seen the ones I found hard yet so I won't spoil it.

I think I know who you mean, which brings me to my next... hmm problem. It's not really a problem as such because if Resi5 had good writing I would be disappointed, but the whole Jill's dead Jill's not dead thing was so bad. I found out she was still alive in the game before I found out she died at all, the whole thing seems pointless.

So far the only boss I had trouble with was the Oroboros fight with the flame thrower.

I had trouble with that boss too.I wasn't sure whether to flame throw him all the time or do it a bit then get my gun out to shoot the orange bits or could I fry them. Sheva's just unloading everything she has on it like a mental. It's one thing I do like though with the bosses. It is quite forgiving in terms of if you die you just start straight at the boss and you can sort out your inventory before you dive in. Now I think about it I don't know if you'd call it cheating but I did take advantage of the quit and save thing to get myself some money on it so that helped.

EDIT: I didn't realise how crap I was with the blue emblems till I got to the end of the game. I only spotted 2! I must be blue blind.

Well so far that's 1 more than me, I haven't really been looking for them though, even if they do unlock the awesome bottlecap figures. :D
