E3 08: RE 5 vs Fallout 3 vs Left 4 Dead

They are three of the most hyped games of E3 – Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5 and the new AAA pretender Left 4 Dead. They are two of the most powerful, influential and deeply hungover games journos on the planet Stephen Pierce, the Global Editorial Director of GamesRadar and George Walter the Editor of GamesRadar UK. They put them all together to see if these highly anticipated games deserve their hype. But with only around 20 minutes with each game and some astonishingly average gaming prowess on display the results might surprise you.

Resident Evil sucks now.
Left 4 Dead looks like crap.

Fallout 3 is in a league of it's own.

PoSTedUP6518d ago

you crazy, RE5 will sh*t on those games man. fallout is too futuristic fake to even compete with the epicness of the resident evil series. resident evil is a proven epic franchise wile fallout will most likely be forced out in comparison.

Chad Warden6518d ago (Edited 6518d ago )

Lol Resident Evil. The series went downhill after Code Veronica X. Just another 3rd person shooter now.

Left 4 Dead isn't even worth mentioning and you clearly have never played a Fallout game before. I bet you're only interested in Resident Evil 5 because Chris has a hot chick partner in the game but Fallout 3 can easily win GOTY. Resident Evil 5 won't, I assure you. I'll be playing Fallout 3 for months, if not years. Resident Evil 5 will be as short as RE4, with nothing really "new" to do in the game. Just more enemies on screen. I miss the old RE games. At least they were scary and were more about survival. Now it's just shoot anything that moves. I don't need any more more shooters this generation. Fallout = RPG, RE = 3rd person shooter with no reason to replay it after you've already finished it the first time.

You've never played Fallout and it's stupid to compare the two. Not because they're in different genres, but because Resident Evil just isn't THAT good anymore lol.

PoSTedUP6518d ago

yea i herd the first fallout was bad, but i only herd good things about Re4 from people. Re4 was fantastic with no replay value? what are you sippin on? RE series is a proven franchise. fallout is not. its your opinion though but i gaurentee you RE5 sells more than fallout. which doesnt make it the better game cause its an opinion but i see RE5 being the better game here, fallout is to fake, theirs nothing like a survival horror game. i mean at least say something smart about anything lol there is nothing "new"? cmon man, i stopped gettin scared of RE games when i was like 7 dog, its for entertainment. does fallout make you shiver in your panties? lol j/k but ummmm GOTY? for this year? i think MGS4 already has that on lock.and for next year i bet killzone2 will win that. holla.

mikeslemonade6518d ago

Chad Warden is 100% correct. RE5 is dissapointing and my observation is correct. RE5 looked hot when we saw that trailer where they had 3 second gameplay footage segments spliced apart, but when we see like a 10 minute demonstration of the gameplay it looks like just an upgrade from RE4.

Left 4 Dead graphically doesn't compare so i'm not even going to talk about that.

Fallout 3 demonstration at E3 was kind of lackluster but the game isn't meant to be demonstrated in 10 minute bits and it isn't supposed to be played like a run and gun shooter. With Fallout 3 we barely scraped the surface of that game where as we basically seen what RE5 and Left 4 Dead have to offer.

PoSTedUP6518d ago (Edited 6518d ago )

how can you be correct with an opinion? "RE5 is disappointing"... yea you played it? c mon man. do better than that. RE4 was a killa killa game and if this is an upgrade with better graphics better gameplay and whole new story then you already know partner. RE5 will kill it. just like RE4 did. and most of the other ones. its a proven franchise and if fallout can prove that wrong then il gladly give it the crown but until then its not really talked about like RE5. it still has to prove its worth, well see how it goes down.

badz1496518d ago

I was expecting RE5 to be great by the look of the screenshot but after the demonstration during M$ session, I lost interest in it! the animations and movements are dull! I wish for something like what offered in Uncharted where the character movement is fluid and different between normal stance and shooting stance. not expecting for as deep as face expression, the main characters are not blended with the environment - like they are not belong in the scene at all! but maybe that's just me and the game has plenty of time for improvement!

Fallout3 sucks!! Banned in Australia and BANNED from my list!

still need to see more of left4Dead as from what I have seen, it's another counter strike with zombies!

TheIneffableBob6518d ago

PoSTedUP:
"yea i herd the first fallout was bad"

No, Fallout 1 and 2 are some of the greatest RPGs ever created.

However, Fallout 3 looks like it will severely disappoint fans of the first two titles. From what I've seen of Fallout 3, it's more first-person shooter than RPG, and that is very, very concerning.

zethos566518d ago

L4D will be awesome. It doesn't need to have amazing graphics to be fun.

PoSTedUP6518d ago

resident evil 5 will sh*t on both of those games hands down man with out a doubt. fallout will be forced out and left 4 read will be left in the dust! RESIDENT EVIL 5 ALL DAY MOFOKER

psman0126518d ago

Fallout 3 will, in my opinion.

ShinMaster6518d ago

I've seen Fallout 3's gameplay, and the aiming seems way too easy!

You point and then a screen comes up asking you where you wanna shoot and which spot has the higher % of damage. Press OK and the enemy is dead.

That's no fun.

AngryTypingGuy6518d ago

I thought RE4 was the best of its generation, and RE5 will most likely be the best of this generation. Fallout 3 looks amazing too. I'm a little skeptical about Left 4 Dead, but I have high hopes.

Grassroots6518d ago

I mean RE4 is a praised game that restored a series heading into a routine of sorts. RE5 looks nothing but a step up from the last, and the Co-op is looking like a nice integration into the game. Fallout looks good, yet even Left 4 Dead looks like a more amazing experience to me.

Chad Warden6518d ago

Left 4 Dead = Just another FPS with zombies and co-op. WOW I'M SO AMAZED!!

Resident Evil 5 = Resident Evil 4 with co-op and more enemies on screen. No more survival horror, just more and more shooting. Resident Evil + co-op = WTF is Capcom doing to the series?

zethos566518d ago

"Just another FPS"

Because every game has an AI director and is focused around4 player co-op?

GiantEnemyCrab6518d ago

I'm looking forward to all 3 of these games. Great to see that Left4Dead living up to the hype and was the highest praised of the 3 can't wait to play it on the 360. It is going to be an expensive holiday.

PirateThom6518d ago

Here's my gripe with Resident Evil 5

Co-op

A horror game doesn't need co-op, it needs isolation and a severe lack of ammo.

RE5 seems to be more Gears of War than Silent Hill.

ia_studio6518d ago

I hope there is an option to not have sheva because she's just a pain in the ass, and a bad ai.

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.

Darkseeker124d ago

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

Levii_92124d 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.

MehmetAlperTR124d ago (Edited 124d 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..

Neonridr123d 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.

neutralgamer1992123d 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

Tapani123d 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.

thesoftware730124d 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.

Redgrave123d 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.

DarXyde123d 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.

Alos88123d 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.

__y2jb123d 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.

gerbintosh123d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
