IGN: Resident Evil 5: Hil's Take

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.

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.

Or you're retarded? Probably the latter. U can reload ridiculously quickly if you upgrade it, which makes it much better. Just cos the game doesn't conform to the same old boring control scheme that every game adapts doesn't mean it's bad. It means you're spoilt and probably poor at the game

Why are you insulting him for not liking aspects of the game? Those are valid complaints. Even In Resident Evil Outbreak File 2 you could shoot and move at the same time. That should have moved into the canon series, but it didn't.

Szarky6275d ago (Edited 6275d ago )

Looks like I pissed off a die hard RE fan. Yes!

"Or you're retarded?" Yes, I'm retarded. I'm retarded for wanting to be able to walk while I aim/shoot and while I reload a weapon. Have you ever shot a real gun before? It's possible to aim/shoot and reload while you're walking. Oh I know, I know it's a video game, it's not real life.

"It means you're spoilt and probably poor at the game" I beat Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 on Hard, yes I suck at shooters. Oh I know, I know I'm spoiled for wanting to be able to do something "that every game adapts" which is a REALLY, REALLY good thing to be able to walk and aim/shoot and reload, I'm not saying sprinting while you do these things but at least walk. But of course that's just my opinion.

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.

Darkseeker117d ago

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

Levii_92117d 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.

MehmetAlperTR117d ago (Edited 117d 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..

Neonridr117d 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.

neutralgamer1992117d 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

Tapani117d 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.

thesoftware730117d 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.

Redgrave117d 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.

DarXyde117d 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.

Alos88116d 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.

__y2jb116d 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.

gerbintosh117d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
