I get increasingly more excited every time I see more stuff....but why did Wesker say "the last time we met was the Spencer estate." Did they nix Code Veronica?

Did they ever mention that the mansion was called the "Spencer Estate" in the first game? I only remember it from reading the books.

Visually strongest game announced bar none. Here is the second trailer they released at TGS.

The thing I'm not feeling about the game is that it seems like it's built as a co-op experience. Scary atmospheres are much more easily established when you're going solo. The talk about the new controls make me fear they're taking another step closer to ordinary shooter controls too. The wiimote/mouse aiming was already a step too far in my book. This is a series that needs tank controls to enhance the sense of suspense and danger.

All that aside, this game will be amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Wesker is such a badass.

Speculation time:

Oooh, nice observation. Well he might not be talking to Chris, but if he is, Capcom made a serious slip there.

Watching these trailers again, it even seems to me like RE5 has surpassed the MGS in cutscene direction. I've never seen such a movie-like experience in a game since Indigo Prophecy. The RE series had pretty weak storytelling before but great material to work with. I'm very glad they're going all the way with this one.

Love the Resident Evil games. I hope I can find tine to play this one when it comes out. This looks great.

I'm really not too sure about the whole co-op thing. Seems like something that could go either way. Playing with a human ally would be awesome, but I get the impression it's online-only meaning you'd either have to play with strangers or be stuck with a crappy AI partner, which is decidedly less awesome.

*Hannah* · 10-11-2008, 01:27 PM

I am not excited about this. What happened to "survival horror"? This is just more ammo-every-10-seconds, blow-everything-up bullsh*t.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-11-2008, 02:34 PM

I guess the fact that I've only ever played 4 and am not a survival horror fan in the least is a good indication of why I'm so appetized by what I've seen so far as opposed to how some of you are reacting to this. I can certainly understand where you're coming from, about it getting away from it's roots, but it's also very important to judge a game on what it ends up being in all actuality as opposed to what it isn't or what it "should" be.

It went out when game controls evolved and no one figured out how to deal with that. I played some of the new Silent Hill game recently and it still played like the previous titles. I'm sorry but as time goes on I would think they'd find a better way to handle movement in these games. Upgraded graphics isn't enough. The puzzles were the same old crap too. The only difference now is stuff doesn't blend into the background.

Resident Evil 4 was great to start, the problems didn't lie in the first half of the game but as it went on then it got too easy which is opposite of what should happen. Your guns got stronger and your enemies didn't, plus it never claimed it was survival horror is was "action horror".

I personally look forward to this. I know it's not going to scare me and I never expected it to. The only horror game I've played since I was a kid that scared me and did a damn good job was Condemned. That game actually got me good and I felt uneasy in the environments. I wanted to beat the levels as fast as possible to get out of the areas. Too bad the second game couldn't give me the same feeling. However if still has it's perks. Beating the hell out of people with your bare hands is satisfying in it's own respect.

What happened to you shutting the **** up? Girls don't know anything about video games, anyway.

Why don't you go play Barbie Horse Racez.

I can only hope this is a joke. Either way it's funny as hell though.

愛 · 10-14-2008, 02:31 PM

We don't joke in the video game forums.

*Brodie* · 10-14-2008, 03:05 PM

Maybe she wants to go play Hamsterz.

Or some sort of Bratz game.

Or some other game with Z in the title in glitter font.

Or Cooking Mama.

*Hannah* · 10-15-2008, 05:14 AM

Hey, at least Hamsterz doesn't use a chain gun.

*Brodie* · 10-15-2008, 10:02 AM

Maybe you missed the aspect that EVERY RE game has huge guns in some form or another. And the only stuff they've shown of RE5 has Chris with a handgun or shotgun.

Perhaps you forgot running through RE2 with an actual chaingun, or rocket launcher.

*Hannah* · 10-15-2008, 02:57 PM

Yeah, because I was definitely talking about rookie mode. Why are you getting so angry?

*Cure* · 10-15-2008, 04:30 PM

Don't take it personally. He hates all women.

See, to get those you need to finish the -normal- game, or in the instance of RE2, beat the normal game in under 2 hours.

Its just stupid to nitpick a change made in a game when there's no real basis for your argument thus far.

*Hannah* · 10-15-2008, 06:37 PM

I know, what's your point?

And are you serious? This game is going to be terrible. I'm not even going to try it, I'm that ignorant.

*Brodie* · 10-15-2008, 08:06 PM

Listen, I know you're ignorant, you are a female, afterall.

Anyone who has ever played an RE game previously and enjoyed it would be dumb to miss the return of Chris -I-Shoot-Dogs-in-the-Face-Zombie-or-Not- Redfield.
