Resident Evil 5

Tried the demo not impressed at all.

Graphics where not particularly impressive, average on all regards.

The controls where way to slow for my liking (even at max sens). Not being able to aim while moving, the mindless zombies, the decade old inventory interface, all in all the game felt to me like a old game underneath, that has been repacked in a prettier shell, meaning that the gameplay felt like it was very old, but the graphics where up to date.

Definately passing on this game.

I completely agree for the control, I got completely turn off yesterday (after another try to get caught in the game/gameplay) when I realize that the reticule wouldn't even keep pace with a zombie walking!!! close to me.
 
When looking at that video, the thing that jump out the most was the constant unrealistic actions of the girl. She constantly staring at you while walking only to walk toward you and turn around to stare at you. And during the action parts, she constantly jumps into the line of fire.
 
Yeah if you've played the demo that's just how they designed the game. The girl is always looking at you as if you're some kind of wierdo. :LOL: Of course that's when there's nothing going on. Once there are enemies to kill she gets to work and doesn't stare at you anymore. During the battles she doesn't really get into the way at least from the demo that I've played. She does get in the way when there's nothing going on and you are running around, she's very clingy during those times..just one more reason to play coop instead.

The game really shines in co-op. It's a lot like Left 4 Dead actually where it pays to take care of your partners.

One thing that I really they have is some special point multipliers that you can select (like the skulls in Halo3) so that you can tune the "zombies" to whatever you want.
 
The controls are clunky but I didn't do too badly in the demo. My main problem is I don't know what I'm supposed to do in the demo. :)

I watched the latest Qore episode and saw the co-op gameplay (They showed it in PiP format). The enemies seem "smart" since they were able to foil one of the reviewers' game plan. I thought visually, it looks good too. Not a fan of horror games. Hope they do well and earn tons of $$$ !

There's a nice comparison between the PS3 and X360 version below. Not only does the X360 version look more detailed and sharper, it also seems like some of the models have higher polygon counts. Of course the framerate is smoother too.

Scroll down to the bottom of the linked page and check out the theatrical trailer, it is amazing. There's also some videos of gameplay in the refinery stage and warehouse stage.

Chris looks like he's been infected in this pic especially in the PS3 version..Excorcist! :LOL:

The comparison thing is old news on this forum.

The cutscenes in that new trailer as well as the TGS 08 "Play God" trailer are incredible. I like Wesker's outfit, it's kinda like a Kevlar weave. :cool:

1 quick question about controls, can I move and shoot at the same time? I know that they added some new control cheme where you can strafe...

No, just download the demo and try out the game for yourself. If you have played RE4 and were fine with the controls then you won't have much problem with RE5. There's even a RE4 control option.
 
Speaking of which, that same marketing guy from Capcom was on G4 the other day, and AGAIN, he says that you can move while aiming and firing in RE5. It's not because he doesn't know better, either. That guy should be tarred and feathered.
 
I'm SO happy you CAN'T move while shooting in RE5. Would have turned it into just another first/third person shooter IMO.

I'm actually surprised at all the backlash over the controls. I expected them to be the same as 4 and that was a hugely popular game. The ability to move slowly while aiming would have definitely been nice, maybe along the lines of walking while aiming in Gears of War, or a little slower. I think I'm just such a big fan of 4 that I can overlook the outdated control scheme.
 
Wow 80 minutes of cut scenes, that's pretty sweet. Hopefully the game will take about the same time it took to complete RE4.

Well that wont be if it really is less than 8 hours like that links says... Re4 took like 20 hours or so? 80 minutes of cutscenes in a game that wont even last 8 hours if even worse. Than it will be like watching a movie with a little bit of gameplay in between.
