Resident Evil 5 Game Saves Corrupting

Aimforthehead writes: "Has your Resident Evil 5 data corrupted?

After what felt like an eternity of playtime, we've run into an issue. Our saved data has vanished, completely. Weapons, bonus unlocks, progress and additional modes are no longer available on our 'veteran' save data. We had at least three game completions under the pair's belt and several maxed-out weapons."

After multiple play throughs.. multiple weapon unlocks.. about to start Pro mode, i loaded up my game today it seemed normal enough however when i go into the play game menu the Item Management option was red and Mercenaries had disappeared..

After some investigation on the Capcom website it seems i am not alone, multiple users are complaining of this error.

I seriously hope this does not happen again as I would be hard pushed to want to start the game from fresh a third time.

p.s I always go back to the main menu before i quit so i don't think it is corrupted because of the save file.

Blaze9296271d ago

I just had a friend tell me about the problem and thought it was just him. Seeing this and browsing forums, it's definitely happening. Guess I'll be off RE5 for awhile, be damned if i start this game from 0% again.

JoySticksFTW6271d ago

I don't know about the 360, but PS3 users should use those memory slots with a sd card or memory stick to back up their game saves once in a while... just in case crap like this goes down

JoySticksFTW6271d ago (Edited 6271d ago )

The PS3 save data for RE5 can't be copied! This is the first time I couldn't copy a save file to a SD card.

I recently got SFII HD, so I double-checked with that and got the same results... the save file cannot be copied.

WTF?

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions again, but that's two games with saves files that can't be copied - CAPCOM games...

So it may be that Capcom will not allow this feature?

EDIT:

DMC4 can be copied though, so who knows...

Quickstrike6271d ago (Edited 6271d ago )

I think this only affects the 360 users. Not the PS3.

I got this info from the article.

Hopefully this could be fixed with a patch.

Red Pill6271d ago

after about 6 hours playtime on my 1st run through this happened to me!

can not find a solution to this other than starting again which sucks

i know its not bad on my 1st play through but i feel sorry for the likes of FullaUK who lost all that data

makes me wonder if i should keep going?

FullaUK6271d ago

Thanks for your sympathy and im glad im not the only one.

I really hope that Capcom take a look into this and if possible patch it at some stage as this is game breaking for me.

swiftshot936271d ago

Because so far, mine is working fine. I'm loving the game and I plan on playing it 2 more times before I start mercenaries.

SCThor6271d ago

it only happens in faulty systems so far.

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.

Darkseeker131d ago

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

Levii_92131d 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.

MehmetAlperTR130d ago (Edited 130d 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..

Neonridr130d 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.

neutralgamer1992130d 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

Tapani130d 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.

thesoftware730130d 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.

Redgrave130d 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.

DarXyde130d 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.

Alos88130d 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.

__y2jb130d 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.

gerbintosh130d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
