How is it the same? Its "RE" 4 basically. No real Zombies, no horror, none of the original stuff that made RE great to begin with, besides a few characters...

So they got rid of zombies, big deal. The generic monsters acted like zombies anyways. The only other thing that changed was the camera angle. So it's now fixed behind the main character. Oh and you can kick or do special moves when near a hurt enemy. Everything else is the same. The way you store and equip weapons. The characters, herbs, mutated monsters, searching for items in the landscape, etc.

Not only does it still have some of the original stuff that made it great but it added other stuff as well, that I feel improved the game.

It's basically the natural evolution of the game.

They acted like Zombies? I think not. Changing the camera angles changed everything it went from Horror/Survival to Action, and that isn't really RE.

@Hines: Again we go through this...

EDIT: Actually here's my better explanation of what I think is hardcore:
"Hardcore to me is really like if the game as a really passoniate community backing it up and that game will always have the hearts of one or more person"

I agree with that, although I actually liked RE 4 a lot better than the other games. I still have to admit, there was a huge change between previous games in the series, and 4.

How exactly does a single camera change the genre? You're still trying to survive and there is horror (regardless of whether you think it's scary or not, but let's face it, that's a subjective matter.)

And yes they did act like zombies. So they were quicker and had slightly more intelligence. What exactly does not make them act like zombies?

Camera Angle can effect anything. If it was still with static camera angles it wouldnt have been as much action packed.

The fact that they admit that their not Zombies.

Sure there's more action than usual in this game, but it's not exactly action packed. The fact that you have to have good aim while there are a pack of monsters after you sure makes it survival horror to me. Just for the record, I like the old camera angles as well, it's just that I believe this new one is just as good if not better suited for the game.

The fact that they admit that their not Zombies.

:lol I know that! I said they act like zombies.
 
Re: Resident Evil 5 General Disscussion

What made RE4 so sucessful was that it took a chance to change the series and it dared to change. It gave the series a fresh new way to play the RE ggames. Hey...RE5 will have zombies. ;)
 
Re: Resident Evil 5 General Disscussion

Hope RE5 ends up like RE4.



Saves me a purchase next year.
 
Re: Resident Evil 5 General Disscussion

:lol

I'll pick this up the day it's out hopefully. Gotta have my Resident Evil.
 
Re: Resident Evil 5 General Disscussion

More than likely getting the 360 version since I don't know when exactly I'll be getting a PS3. Unless they PS3 has a really cool feature or two that I must have, my decision probably won't change.
 
Re: Resident Evil 5 General Disscussion

I sure hope they improve on their ending."RE4's" ending was too short and too predictable. ::)

Not sure if you didn't notice my response to this in the other thread but I'll copy and paste it in here as well:

CreepinDeth said:
To be fair, Resident Evils aren't really about the endings since there will usually be a new one coming up to extend the story. Unless it's the final RE game ever, don't expect a great ending.

It's more about how it carries the ongoing story and I think RE4 did a really good job of that.

Re: Resident Evil 5 General Disscussion

Seeing how RE4 was one of the best games i've ever played, i'm more then a little excited for this particular title.
I think the potential for online play in this franchize is huge, the things they could do, like a mode where one person plays as a human and everyone else is a zombie thats trying to kill him, get the chainsaws in their, that would be sweet.
