Guess what?

Resident Evil 5 comes out next week. Omfg!? I can't wait. I ****ing loved the demo, I will be getting the 360 one cause I don't like the controls for the ps3 and I dun have a bluetooth for the ps3.

But omg... I love Sheva =<

I haven't followed the RE series much... Or, at all, for that matter. From what I have heard, the first two were the best. I've only played Umbrella Chronicles, and 4 for Wii.

That having been said, 5 looks kick ***.

More like from what you've heard from purists.
The stats beg to differ


Yeah, so, RE4 was totally revolutionary and awesome and blah blah blah, but/and this one looks like more of the same. Which is not bad, but... meh.

[Bluhman]

I only had any exposure to RE4. From what I can tell, the older games were really silly.
"You were almost a Jill Sandwich!"

Anyways, I will need to see what RE5 is like. And then try and get an XBox360 or something.

I've only had exposure to the movies
Which I assume are very different then the games

So...yeah

That's what I thought. Then the annoying ugly castellan midget zombie came into RE4. Now I don't know what to think.

Resident Evil 4 playing style was fun, but I'd still prefer the old style. It's just more Resident Evil that way, a feeling that lacked with me with 4. If they changed the name Leon to Jack and Resident Evil to Jack's Dreamworld, no one would have connected the dots to Resident Evil.

Still, this said, Resident Evil 4 was a fun game and I am looking forward to part 5. Just not getting it any time soon. Gonna wait for a discount and try to get older Resident Evils before that. Still missing 2, 3, 0 and a few others from my collection.

RE4 was the only one in the series that I liked (and Umbrella Chronicles, but that's because I'm a big fan of lightgun shooters), but that's because they dropped a bunch of the survival horror themes in favor of a more action-oriented approach. The survival horror parts felt so very tedious and unnecessarily stress-inducing, and to me, they just weren't scary. I'm not easily scared by a piece of fiction, though, so there you go.

I'm looking forward to RE5 (I have a friend who I plan on playing co-op with), but I haven't gotten to play the demo, since my Xbox Live account is locked as a child account for some godawful reason. No M rated downloads that don't cost moneys for me (seriously, there was a ****ing cock flying in front of my face for the GTA4 expansion. Why can I get that, but not something with a bit of blood and zombification?).

PROTIP: RE4 had the exact same controls as every other one, the camera view was just moved to behind the shoulder.

[Red Giant]

Technically correct, but I hope you're not trying to suggest that that's all there is to it.

Precise aiming (with camera zooming), more plentiful ammo, more focus on combat rather than exploration/puzzles, etc.

And it makes a world of a difference. Confusion due to a locked camera goes out the window (well, I can't say I ever got confused, but it wasn't very comfortable).

The first RE games are classic.
RE1's intro movie with real actors.
Aim up, forward and down.
Turning around takes 3 years.
Hunters can actually spam you to death if given the opportunity.
Odd hit boxes on the character and enemies.(Like in Code veronica where most bosses took damage 3-5 times by the dagger because it's a sweep).
Albert wesker.

Really, the best parts about RE is the story and the structure that everything is following.

But RE4 actually did follow that story, somewhere. Must say that it almost feels like some fanfic or something with Leon being the bodyguard of the president's daughter and stuff.

But I'm looking forward to RE5 bigtime, looks great(although more or less like RE4 with Africans) and it will probably live up to my expectations.
I'll get it for PS3 though, don't got a schmex box.

Precise aiming is a great addition, as is the amount of ammo you can find. I popped in the Resident Evil 1 remake in my Gamecube and I was as the second zombie when I found myself ammoless. The bigger focus on combat does feels nice, but I always loved the exploration and puzzles. The nightmares I endured as a kid because of those doors. Those bloody doors where you never knew what was behind it.

And it makes a world of a difference. Confusion due to a locked camera goes out the window (well, I can't say I ever got confused, but it wasn't very comfortable).

During my short play on the Gamecube replay, I did found myself confused because of the locked camera. I like it, but it's a pain when the zombie is around the corner and I can't see there or when he's offscreen because the camera doesn't show that part of the hallway. I got killed because of that damned camera. I found it better in the later addition cause I can't recall having that problem in Code Veronica or Outbreak File #1.

[Red Fox]

I can't stand the controls in the earlier resident evil games. I tried to play them like 10 times but in the end it's the controls that drives me away. Thus they should remake them with RE4 control.
