Revisiting Resident Evil 5

IGN: And so, at last, we come to the end of our project. Capcom's Resident Evil 6 is set to launch in America on October 2, just one week from tomorrow – but though the wait is a short one now, that release date has been on our mind for the better part of a year. We decided, months ago, to prepare the way for the sixth numbered installment in the on-going RE saga by replaying, in storyline order, all seven previous games in the main series. That's Resident Evil 0. Then the original, then 2, then 3. Then a break in the numbering to jump to Code: Veronica before finishing up with Resident Evil 4 and, today, Resident Evil 5.

It was a good game to be honest. Mayhaps not really in the "SCARY" category but the co-op was fun. Took me over five months to complete. Why? Because I only played it when my friends came over.

Lucretia4980d ago

it was a great co-op game, beat it 4 times straight with my fiance....and i never play games more than once lol.

cant wait for 6

Captain Qwark 94980d ago

i too beat it with the gf together, beat it with my friends a couple times and beat it solo a few times. prob finished it 6+ times, granted on the additional play throughs i think i got my completion time to like 2 hrs lol

It was a good game.. Action based but i liked it right away & MUCH more than the demo in 6.. It even looked better to me & 6 had way more dev time.. I guess the size of the game compromised the graphics.. I think they shouldve canned weskers son & made leon & chris' portions longer & better looking..

Skate-AK4980d ago

It wasn't too bad. I ended up getting the Platinum.

WeskerChildReborned4980d ago

It was a good game despite it not being a "true" Resident Evil.

TheRichterBelmont4980d ago

It was a hell of a co-op experience, tons of fun, especially Mercenaries. and Wesker was hilarious.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker115d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92115d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR115d ago (Edited 115d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr115d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992115d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani115d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730115d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave115d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde115d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88115d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb115d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh115d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
