Resident Evil 5

[RudeCurve]

Seriously, with each video I see it looks less and less like a Resident Evil game. One of the things that truly bothered me about 4 was the vastness of the game. Apparently, ditching the close quarters was a good enough idea to keep with the future RE games.... Alot of these outdoor, sunny locations are beginning to annoy me. RE 1-3 took place ENTIRELY at night. I mean, don't get me wrong, the game still looks good and I'll definitely buy it, but I just don't see how it can be classified as a survival/horror game anymore. It looks to me like it slowly transisted into one huge, tag team crowd clearing game.

Survival/Horror doesn't have to take place entirely at night. I think you're just too used to the old RE formula. If you stick to the old formula for the 5th game in the series, it might become stale and sell poorly. If you watch the developer interview on GT, they said that some of the team members wanted to go back to the old dark style while some of the others wanted to evolve the RE4 style. Since the story revolves around the origin of the virus they had to base the game location in Africa. Hopefully there will be some night and indoor gameplay levels in RE5 since it worked in RE4. As the 5th game in the seriee RE5 had no choice but to evolve IMO. It looks to be a mix of RE4 + RE0. I think you may have to wait until RE6 if you like the old school RE environments.

Seriously Capcom has one the best multiplat engine out

Agreed. Even replaying Dead Rising, the skin on people looks far better than most games out today. Plus the explosions in Lost Planet still look incredible.

I love how the inventory now pop ups in real time instead of pausing the game. Will make the game more tense.

That is fantastic. Co-op gameplay in RE5. Just keeps getting better and better. Oh and btw it looks amazing as well!

I wish they had changed some stuff, like the barrels and the boxes.They look the same as the ones in Spain!?!?! They should have made things look fresh by changing these small elements, we are still breaking barrels for health and ammo.
Otherwise looks good, but a bit too much like RE4.

The chase scene in the trailer has got me super excited !:smile:

Take a look at the Chris/Sheva two player videos. Very detailed environments and beautiful flaming explosion.

The more I see of this game the more I want to play it, and I've not been a huge fan of the franchise thus far.

I can't wait to see how this will compare to the likes of Deadspace, Fallout3, and Siren.

Just curious, but why Fallout 3? The first and last are horror games, but Fallout 3 has always been more on the comical side.

I was getting underwhelmed by the fact that the movements and controls make it look like a RE4 with a coat of new paint, but this video made me go drooling again ! The enemy here, somekind of BattleAxe man (Father of the Chainsaw Man ) breaks apart the adjoining huts and all. Looks like the Village level of RE4 on Steroids !

In this case it's Chris and Sheva Gameplay 2.

Available in 720p, too.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

WOW ! saw some videos there! thanx for the link !
I must say that RE4 was part action part Survival horro game but this seems to have turned into a complete action game! Not that it is bad, but lets hope it can still evoke the sense of mystery and fear..

WoW ! Some of the Screenshots are showing amazing quality !

They also show a lot of those strange lighting anomalies that everyone seemed to be so hard on with Resistance 2

Not to mention the enemy models look...well...terrible.
