"Resident Evil 5 was a definite change of tone for the series making a move towards action and the first to fully feature cooperative action."

Resident Evil: Outbreak begs to differ. It introduced co-op to the series 6 years before Resident Evil 5 was released.

skycaptin53090d ago

Had meant that it was designed with two players in mind with the "fully feature cooperative action", just simplified it which was a mistake.

UltraNova3090d ago

The whole game was a mistake. A mistake i had to learn about when I bought the gold edition. Clanky and stale are the two words that stuck.

-Foxtrot3090d ago

Good game...not Resident Evil

Resident Evil 4.5 will always be the true RE5

That game could have molded RE6 to be better.

I enjoyed the game. You have to have the right expectations. If you go in expecting RE4, you'll be disappointed. If you judge the game on it's own merits, it's not too bad.

CrimsonWing693090d ago

You know, I'm a long time RE fan and yes I prefer the older games to the modern games, but I freaking loved this game. I liked the Wesker fight that required actual co-op gameplay rather than a contest of who can shoot more enemies.

The one where one of you fired a rocket, the other shoots it in Wekser's hand, one guy runs up to hold Wekser, the other injects the serum into his neck.

Like that was great playing it with my friend.

Full disclaimer though I liked 6 as well, so take from that what you will...

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..

Neonridr114d 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.

neutralgamer1992114d 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

Tapani114d 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.

Redgrave114d 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.

DarXyde114d 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.

Alos88114d 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.

__y2jb114d 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.

gerbintosh114d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
