RE5 Screens, Info Leaked

[Dot50Cal]

I think you guys just need to realize that this is what the series needed in order to stay relevant. I'm at least somewhat comforted by the fact that RE4 was changed by Mikami, the series creator. So it helps to think that this is the direction he wanted to series to go in.

Really, at the end of the day I care most about the story. While that was very lacking in Resident Evil 4, I can still say that it was a very fun game which helped make up for the lackluster story. I guess thats because it appeals to the kind of games I like. While I certainly would welcome a "classic" game in the series I don't hinge my further interest in the series on one coming out or not and I don't get why some of you are saying you wont play the series anymore. I'm torn too. On one hand, I really love the gameplay and the way Resident Evil 4 was set up. Certainly the game is not without its faults (easy "puzzles", shallow story) but that doesn't mean I should hate it. I'd definitely like for Capcom to make a game in the traditional style or even break the series off into two franchises which follow the two different play-styles that have emerged. I think that would be an acceptable compromise, no?

With all this bitterness, maybe it would be a good idea to make a veterans board in which you guys can talk about the "good old days"

Oooh a chainsaw, original, never seen that before, definitely not trying to re-create the only decent enemy from a previous game. And having to protect some little girl, having a female contact, virus thats not a virus, zombies that arent zombies, classic main character, this has about as much thought in it as reality TV Goodbye RE, it was fun while it lasted

[Sunglasses]

It's not fake news, it's UNCONFIRMED (at the moment) news. I fear it will becaome true very soon....

eh.... I have the same fear, but another time I refuse to believe that Capcom is so stupid. But if it will become true... god damn you capcom!

[Mr.Jackal]

off topic a little according to capcom's financial report the game's release date is from march 2008 to march 2009 ( capcom's financial year )

Yeah, I don't want 2p coop-mode in main story/game, It should be amazin but only in The Mercenaries mini-game, RE5 is Resident Evil (more or less) if someone wants 2coop-mode maybe is better you go play COD or Gears of War, we are talking about a Survival Horror (Shooter).
.

Agreed. I'am thinking the same. To play the mersenaries with your friends would be great. But co-op in the main scenario... no, no and no again! But I think that it would be possible to play alongside with this new armed and dangerous chick. Like in RE4 When you are with Louis, but more often.

QUOTE(And why, Capcom why are you returning with the idea of protecting some blonde girl?! At least make her more intelligent than Ashley was... and less screamy.
"Leon! Help me Leon! Leon! I can't even descent the ladder myself! Help me Leon! Leon!!!!!". Oh shut up there! :/ )QUOTE
LOL!!!

The scariest thing in RE4 was oven-man. He pwned Dr. Salvadore, and the Bella sisters.

Needless to say, I like more than one scare in my horror games...

I'm really hoping it's mostly rubbish. A virus set off by a volcanic erruption? Who's in charge, the Riddler now?

The cover system will probably be ok. I don't expect Capcom to mess it up. From what's been seen so far though, I don't think it would really enhance that style of battle (en masse army rushes one). It sort of goes against the other idea or much more open area style battles too. 2 player co-op doesn't sound all too entincing to me. Unless you can do it split screen. Playing co op with people can be very very frustrating depending on who you play with. Ask anyone who played Outbreak online... That said, if it is true it surely must have a voice communication system.

I'm REALLY hoping the Mercenaries mode hinted at is like Mad Jackal (and not that pap in RE4), but I know if there is a Mercenaries mode, I'm sure to be wrong.

I'm happy that 2p coop-mode was only a fake news, very very happy.

RE4 changed a lot, but it introduced a new sense of fear, being hunted down...having a chainsaw dude run after you, RE has never been real scary.

The problem is, RE4 wasn't scary. Sure, the first few minutes were, but the more you play, the more Leon turns into hunter and Gonados into victims. Seriously, were you scared of the Gonados later in the game? Or were you killing them one by one, doing headshots, with a crazy smile on your face?
RE4 was not scary :/

And as much as I would like to have co-op in the game, let it be in a bonus mini-mission, not the main story.
And why, Capcom why are you returning with the idea of protecting some blonde girl?! At least make her more intelligent than Ashley was... and less screamy.

[SinValentine]

the venue just looks like metal gear to me, or like the degeneration movie (sorry i know it doesn't fit)

they could've done so much more with this game :/ i would've liked to see billy or something. i guess they need a boy/girl team so chris can have someone to hit on. like how they changed leon's attitude up to being some kinda flirt.

and a volcano triggering off the towns people? is that plausible? lol petronio beat me to it

[Petronio]

I hate those Classic RE noobs, complaining about online and changes, This is MUCH more realistic, especially with the cover system...the enimes are stronger fast and tougher, in real life..one would take cover to try and get the first shot or attack on the enemie, forget the zombies, these guys are freakin beast's.

RE5 stays on the same ropes but go'es beyond.

As for Online, you don't have to play it, have other who want it...this pleases more people and in the end, leading to more sales...DERR!

think a little.

Realistic? A virus from a volcano? A man that have to face at least 100 people and survives? A memeber of an military organization sent ALONE in a small village to rescue a girl?

Re5 is as realistic as Doom...

I hate those new RE noobs. Those who thinks that a survival horror can turn into an action shooter and conider it an improvement to the serie. There are a lot of action game, why shuold capcom change an old IP. Just create a new one!

Metal Gear, alone in the dark, silent hill... they are always the same, but each chapter is better than the previous one.

RE4's sense of fear? Where and When? It's simply a very fun action game. "having a chainsaw dude run after you..." ahah. Dr Salvador it's a pathetic guy. You can escape so easly... Do you remeber Nemesis?

Im resolving judgement till the game trailer and a possible demo if it ever materialises.
Whats particularly wrong with online gameplay anyway? Every game has it nowadays.

Every game? Not in the main story, unless the game si only a shooter.

And RE5 doesn't need a online co-op, except in mercenary mode or a side mission like Ada's Assignement. There online will be a goog enanchement.

[Nomad9026]

Though some parts of this info sounds true (cover system, dodging, large open locations...) I hope that online gameplay is a lie. Well... the only thing that is left to do is wait for a new trailer
