Cause for Concern: Resident Evil 5

You don't need to be a gamer to know that Resident Evil 5 is a big deal. With Hollywood movies, scores of games and numerous toys, Capcom's celebrated horror franchise grew into an unstoppable juggernaut full of flesh-eating freaks, state-of-the-art graphics and iconic characters -- which makes GameDaily more worried about the highly anticipated fifth installment. Even though it has beautiful visuals, a unique African setting and series hero Chris Redfield, Resident Evil 5 may disappoint thousands of gamers. Here's why.

Dead Space Innovates in so many ways. just wow.

I am still going to buy RE5 tho, but they really should be pushing with game play, boss battles, and simply doing everything so it feels new and next-gen.

bodybombs6352d ago

i was never a huge fan of the game play of the RE games. the story was amazing to me, but the game play just wasn't my forte

InMyOpinion6352d ago

Dead Space has raised the bar for survival horror games. It uses light and sound in a way I've never experienced in games before. In many cases the environments can be more scary than the enemies, and that says a lot cause most enemies are pretty intimidating.

I also like how they force you to be strategic when killing enemies, having to keep cool and aim at certain limbs when you are about to be shred into pieces =)

Sarcasm6351d ago

Wow @Jenzo. No fanboy comment? No PS3 bashing? Just straight up dicussion about video games. (Although I'm backwards by bringing that up) but I like it. :) Let's keep that going shall we? Have a bubble.

InMyOpinion6351d ago

I feel a bit disgusted for not blindly bashing the PS3 and I regret not posting the comparison video where both versions look identical(claiming they don't) but who knows, I might get used to 'sobriety'.

Spread FUD about the game, causing people to not buy it and have yet another studio close down.
I swear, the media is killing gaming. Not just figuratively, but possibly literally too.

die_fiend6352d ago

Any1 who's played the demo will know this game is gonna be awesome. They're not gonna have the success of the reinvention of the franchise that was Res 4 only to go 'lets change it completely.' They're building up from the success of 4, the gameplay was so sweet and retaining that is definitely a good thing. I'm pretty much positive from playing a 20 minute demo that I'm certainly not going to be disappointed in the slightest

onomix6352d ago

I really just want to play alone and shoot zombies. I don't want a girl coming with me. It does not get scary at all, when you have a partner. However when you are alone, you get scared. Unless you must split up, that is a good way. But after the footage I have seen, she just follow Chris -.-

Heldrasil6351d ago

Have you played RE:0? It was a great game and had the same "partner" feel to it, had to manage the ammo and heal both characters, didn't take away from the core of the game at all.

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.

Darkseeker116d ago

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

Levii_92116d 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.

MehmetAlperTR116d ago (Edited 116d 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..

Neonridr116d 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.

neutralgamer1992116d 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

Tapani116d 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.

thesoftware730116d 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.

Redgrave116d 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.

DarXyde116d 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.

gerbintosh116d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
