Apparently it's fun to shoot things. As a longtime fan of the Resident Evil series, I've been looking forward to RE5 since its announcement way back in 2005. So when I got a retail copy of Resident Evil 5, I locked myself in a room, stayed up way too late every night for a week, and managed to finish the game three times. With a full beard and an empty belly, I came out of my gaming cave and checked IGN for the first time in days. Turns out Ryan Geddes beat me to the punch and has already reviewed RE5. Son of a bitch. But I figure since I've put in so many hours, I'll give you my take on the game anyway.

Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
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.

Dusk Golem claims a Resident Evil 5 remake is not coming this year, with a Code Veronica remake expected instead.
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.
Not being able to aim while moving sucks but not being able to reload while moving is retarded.
Tried the demo I deleted it after about 2 minutes.
