The Resident Evil Thread - Part 1

[Nathan]

And it's actually really fun to play with a friend.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, I don't mind RE5 if you have a buddy to play with.. However, without said buddy it's really a chore..

 

[Jennifer Walters]

It's like Capcom said....''Oh, Sony. You released that trailer for your ****** little movie? Hahahaha. PWNED."

 

[Havok83]

IA with keeping them seperate. I hated when they merged the MGS thread with the Rising one.

 

[Havok83]

I never had any major issues with Sheva. I played the game alone the first time around and loved it. As for 6, I kinda hope they dont have the same type of co-op though bc I want a back to basics approach with you truly being alone. Id welcome some seperate co-op missions though

 

[Benstamania]

But.. It's so "messy" having discussions all over the place.

 

[Benstamania]

It's like Capcom said....''Oh, Sony. You released that trailer for your ****** little movie? Hahahaha. PWNED."

WTH WAS that trailer? It was the most awkward thing I've ever seen.. It was like 50 seconds Sony commercial.. 10 second RE weird movie commercial.

So, so bad.

no film franchsie needs a reboot as badly as RE

Not if people keep the RE6 news and discussion limited to the thread specific for it. its not much of an issue now bc RE6 was just announced, but its only going to get worse especially when the game is released and it'll be hard to sift through all the content. Thats why this thread was originally created for, back when RE5 was about to come out

 

[Benstamania]

Agreed... Sadly, it's Paul WS Anderson's shuttle for keeping his wife known.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I honestly didn't think this game would be coming out this year. I just saw the trailer and my head exploded. WHOA. Two RE games this year? ****ing AWESOME

 

[Benstamania]

I feel they highlighted the "It's like Raccoon City all over again" for a reason.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I don't understand all the complaints about Sheva's AI. I never once had issues with her.

Three.

RE: Revelations (3DS.. Which is awesome, just played the demo)

RE: Raccoon City

RE6.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That might be a fun co-op shooter, but I very much doubt it'll come close to RE1 and 2 in creepiness and scare factor.

Ah, ok

How many years has it been since the events of RE2/3?

RE2/3 take place in 1998 I think.

I just read the IGN writeup and its been 10 years

Aye, that answers that. Capcom seem to tend to keep the story timeline contemporary and time progress on par with real time

 

[Benstamania]

I don't understand all the complaints about Sheva's AI. I never once had issues with her.

I had an issue with the entire game. Sheva just constantly screwing up (seriously, she would always end up going down over the dumbest reasons) or getting stuck behind something just took the cake.

I actually hope the co-op returns. I really want to play this with my friend again. We finished RE5 multiple times together. Now that this seems to go back to its horror roots, we might play this twice as much.

 

[Havok83]

thats assuming this game does come out this year. There's always the chance it'll get delayed for all we know

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah.. I think RE1 even starts out with "September... 1998" or something like that. Every game since has pretty much taken place in the year we were/are currently in.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I still want to think this will get pushed back.

 

[Nathan]

Well, it depends on how long they've been working on this. I didn't mind that Raccoon City got pushed back. I was actually in favor for it, because the development time seemed to be so short.

 

[Benstamania]

I'm hoping that it stays single player focused... with OPTIONAL co-op modes. Maybe even unlock a New Game+ where you can play co-op the whole way through.

Some loved RE5's co-op and that's cool, I liked it too.. but when I didn't have a friend playing it the game just left a bad taste in my mouth. If they can figure out a way (should be easy) to make this game feel as if it wasn't designed totally around co-op.. Then I'm all for it.

 

[Soapy]

But.. It's so "messy" having discussions all over the place.

I agree. This isn't NeoGAF. The community here isn't nearly big or active enough to require threads for every game in a franchise. The platform-specific boards are nearly dead as it is.

 

[Benstamania]

Seems like it could have been in development for a bit.. They kept awfully quite about it. I had NO idea we'd get this much of an in depth trailer so soon after just hearing about a viral campaign two days ago.

 

[Soapy]

Can you switch characters on the fly in RE5?
