This morning I turned on my Playstation 3 and went to the playstation store and to my surprise I seen that the Resident Evil 5 demo was available to download. I was excited and I have to admit that I’m a Resident Evil fanboy. I heard how some of the journalist was praising this game so I couldn’t hardly wait to play it. My wait turned to one hour because apparently my modem must have drank some syrup out of Lil Wayne’s Styrofoam cup because it was moving slow. After the wait was over I started the game and my eyes were dazzled by the beautiful visuals. These were visuals that in my opinion surpassed Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gears of War 2. I was having a visual orgasm without even starting the game. Looking at Resident Evil 5 visuals was seeing a beautiful woman kissing another equally beautiful woman… AMAZING… Wilt Chamberlain Scoring 100 points in a game amazing (That’s a NBA scoring record for all of you who doesn’t watch sports). But the honeymoon ended and reality showed it’s ugly face that looks similar to Rosie O’ Donell’s rear end. Beneath the pretty graphics lies a broken game. Chris Redfield moved like a elderly person driving a wwII tank… super super slow. These controls were perfectly fine four years ago when Resident 4 came out for the Gamecube but this is next gen. While I was playing the demo I kept asking myself these questions. Why can’t I shoot and run at the same time? Why can’t I walk backwards and shoot? Is Chris Redfield supposed to be a trained special forces operative? Damn, It’s my girlfriends birthday and I forgot to buy here something? Why am I asking myself these questions? The answer to that last question is simple because I wasn’t enjoying myself. Plain and simple Resident Evil 5 isn’t a fun game. Instead of being immersed in the game you are worried about which button to press and the limitations of the character’s movements. I’ve played Dead Space, Gears of War, Uncharted and all those third person games had fluid and seamless controls. At this point I enjoyed the recent Alone in the Dark demo more than the Resident Evil 5 demo (Yes that’s right I went there). I know what I played was a demo and the controls could be drastically improved by release but as of now I’m greatly disappointed. Capcom please step your game up. Peace and one love. Turricane
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
You know, contradicting your complaints is actually quite simple:
You can't run and shoot at the same time because you're not supposed to. This is Resident Evil, not GoW or some FPS. It worked amazingly well with RE4, so its gonna work well again.
Walk backwards and shoot? That's a pretty aimless argument. Why the hell would you want to? You can't see behind you anyway when aiming. You could just as easily get out of aiming and walk backwards, or do a quick 180 and run. Seriously, pointless complaint.
Even if Chris is a supped up Special Ops tank, I'd much rather have the gameplay the way it is. When game devs start sacrificing gameplay to make the story make more sense, this is when games lose their quality. Horrible move if ever done by capcom.
The reason you weren't enjoying yourself is because you've spent the last 4 years playing any miscellaneous FPS or Gears of War, and now automatically expect RE to get rid of everything its done up until now and just randomly decide to assimilate to another cliche typical shooter. Screw that. This is survival-horror/action, and it works for its genre. Don't like, don't play it, but don't moan and whine.
You can't team up with your friends to play co-op
