Resident Evil 5

[SLEEPR85]

Bought this game on sunday for the ps3, and i have to say.... i'm addicted! After only having played numbers 1 & 2, resident evil 5 has lost none of its gameplay of the previous one's (from what i can tell) and is even more fast paced! And the graphics..... oh, the graphics!

What do you guys think?

[GTAAAH]

Is this like res 4 or like the early ones? I hated res 4 the over shoulder looking one, was just a fps.. love the old puzzles in the first ones, the frozen camera angles and the slow turning used to make em freaky as hell.. is that stuff still in it?

Also it looks like it's coming on PC down the track which is sick

[SLEEPR85]

Yeah it does unfortunately have the over the shoulder view that most games these days have, and not having played 3 & 4 i was a bit dissapointed that they didn't keep that aspect of the original one's. But it did retain the puzzle solving stuff, though not as much as previous versions....

I hope RE5 is good...

I have played RE 1, 2, 3 and 4 and are all great.

Don't mind the over the shoulder view, something different.

Damn it I really wanna play it!

well got it the day it came out, took tad over 6 hours to finish ( was a bit of a rush first time) over all i rate the game 8/10 few little things, not as *scary* as the last seemed to be, graphics are fantastic HUGE range of weapons which you can upgrade etc Co op on line is another sweet thing, little collectibles are fun also to find. heaps off boss to battle and the story line is good also

I must have this game... dam capcom & their anti-PC game release schedule

This will be 1 of the games I'll fork out $ to buy a PS3 just to play...

Ah spewing it's over shoulder view, i loved the camera angles in original one

Def not a real res evil game if it's got 6 hour play time i just beat res evil 0 on gamecube again, sick as puzzles, and the camera view is scary as hell, then you get stuck wandering around for ages till you realise you have to push the statue onto the dog, grab the spray from it's collar, spray the weeds twice, turn the clock to 2pm and then run through the hallway while avoiding the windows

The behind view ones they have out atm are high selling though i guess and that's the reason capcom's gone towards it.. sucks!

wish they'd release red evil 1/2 for PC with better graphics, dwnlded em the other day and.. 640X480 = not cool

It's allright, i personally thought it would be a bit better. The fact you can't aim and walk is f***ing annoying!

just finished it with a mate over xbox live from start to finish over the past few days. Was really good fun, espicially two players as we could communicate and help each other out. I'm not sure how sheva will react when being controlled by the AI.

I was suprised at how little of the game was set in the streets of whatever african country we were in. It certainly is not a scary game or "survival horror" game anymore.

And the constant running of out of ammo to scare you then finding a heap of it wore thin after a while.

^^ 2 player must be awesome, going sic killing the enemies!

[kralster]

yeah it's the only way to play, the amount of swearing i could here from my brother when sheva was doing something stupid was lulz. So i'll stick to playing through with a mate.

I agree with this although having only played RE4, not 5 I can say some of the puzzles are still in there. Although they are so piss easy in comparison to the older games. However, I loved RE4. The company went with a more action based game with a creepy atmosphere rather than the 'BOO' scary from the old games.

But having read reviews and stuff, RE5 isn't anything much more exciting then RE4.

Although I'm sure RE5 is really good. Cant wait to play it.

overall, great game, walk+aim=fail, but gameplay is soo additive, that fat dude with the axe in the first chapter is pain in the ass until i realised i need to run away from them lol..

[(B1) MR_fanny]

Are you sure you're playing the right game? Resident evil 5 is like resident evil 4. it's nothing at all like 1 & 2, code veronica etc etc etc. You can't even run and gun in this. Oh yeah there are "zombies" (not even really zombies) coming towards me and i can't run at them with my machete i have to stand there like a dumb flamin mongrel and hack in mid air until they get to me....... FAIL

No puzzles either. Oh wait yes there is that dumb mirror 'puzzle' that took me about a whole 15 seconds to do. It wasn't even "scary." This game and capcom suck dick
