Resident Evil Homoerotic 'Roid Abuse Edition
For some reason, the game will not be released until 2009. But that ensures that Capcom will have plenty of time to create the follow-up to one of the greatest games ever made.
image:
Judging by the latest scans, the main character of biohazard 5 will be David Duchovny. Also, Sherry may be back: image:
The only other piece of information I can confirm is that a lot of black people will get killed, and Capcom will be labeled as racist. |

On that matter any resident evil game that has a connection to Resident Evil 2 is practically good. Additional Spam: Nigger zombie in the back is <3 |
I'm tired of this "if you include black people you're racist" state of mind that certain people have. I swear to god, if Capcom gets in shit for RE5 having blacks, I'm sueing the next fucking game that you kill white people for being racist. $20 sais that it would get thrown out before anyone would ever hear of it. That just goes to show how fucked up society is.
Sorry, touchy subject for me ^^; As for the main character, that really sucks that it's not Chris. Honestly who the hell gives a shit about David from RE2? No one that's who. |
This game will so be smeared by political correctness preachers...
You're playing a white man who is single handedly commiting a GENOCIDE in Africa. (Or, Haiti? I dunno where it's set.) That alone - that you're supposedly killing Zombies won't even be mentioned - is sufficent to produce such an onslaught of PC-consent that the "Kill the Haitans!" GTA-VC will look like a kindergarten namecalling in comparison. I guess RE5 will see several banning petitions in the western hemisphere. UNLESS the moral panic about video games has ebbed off till it comes out... |
Maybe if we're lucky Manhunt 3 will be coming out around the same time and will keep people like Jacky boy busy sueing McDonalds for selling X360 toys because Manhunt 3 is on the system, lol. That way teir attention will be off RE5... but I dought it.
Oh well. just going to have to go get my court order and modified version of "Black Leon" in RE4 -PC ready to sue Capcom if someone sues over RE5. We'll see who sees the $$ first, lol. |

I don't think it'll get banned.
Its not as if the all the zombies are black, and the main dude just started dissing them for their race. The only thing thats bothering me is that the game is drifting from Traditional RE series so.. |
People bitched about Loco Roco (black blobs with huge lips) and Dead Rising (all black zombies had knives) and nothing became of it. It seems very unintentional.
I can't even think of a single game released which is deliberately racist. Can you? |
|
I meant consoles.
Anyone with an engine like this could create and publish their game themselves (according to the wikipedia article) for the PC. No middle-man. With consoles you have their creators to get through first. Quote:
|
How many years is it supposed to be after RE? Looks like it might be 5 or 7 years later from the screen of the rumored Sherry. Oh, and seeing as how Chris is the main character, and rumors of Sherry being in it, will this mean an appearance from Wesker too?
|
Oh, Resident Evil 5. I think I saw a trailer in Sony's E3 video, it looked pretty astounding, I am sure this is going to be big time.

Quote:
The last note in the scans is the use of sunlight and dark like say when Chris enters a building, his eyes have to gradually adjust to the dark indoors. The same can be said with the opposite where stepping out from a dark place would cause glare to his eyes. |
2009? Sucks we have to wait that long. I hope Capcom gets done with it early. The cast listing for Resident Evil 5 on imdb.com has a number of old characters returning. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473298/ The site has Randy "Macho Man" Savage listed as the voice of a Tyrant. The name of the Tyrant is 'XKL-Tyrant'. I know the imdb isn't the most reliable source in the world, but it would be nice to have so many character returning.

I don't get why the topic creator said the main character is David what's his name. Anyone who can read Chinese (yes, the scan is Chinese) can read that its Chris. So please edit the first post, or maybe a mod should do it.
Regarding the image of the girl, the magazine asked who she was, which the producer Jun Takeuchi jokes that he's been having memory problems and cannot recall her name, which they all laugh. He did state that she is an important element in the story of RE5, that she's "probably" been in captivity for a while, and that smart fans will figure out who she is. Yeah, my money's on Sherry. Also the producer said he has more faith in a 2010 release date than a 2008. NOT 2009.... Topic creator is also missing several pages of scans: http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/...7/857_0001.jpg http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/...7/857_0002.jpg http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/...7/857_0003.jpg http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/...7/857_0004.jpg http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/...7/857_0005.jpg From the missing scans, its also mentioned that Chris at some point says the cliche line "What am I fighting for?" in the trailer. |

Googled it, guy from X-files. Never knew his name cause I dont care about X files.
Still it would have helped if he had MENTIONED Chris first before he jabs how he looks, since this is the first scan that really confirms its him, and its the first post. And he's missing 3 pages of links to scans, along with the wrong estimate release date year. Several people here mistake him as the David thats briefly mentioned in RE2. Not much too ask for more accurate info on the first post is it? |

This game looks like sex and I can't wait for it. |
No fucking way. I was going through that IMDB list and saw that STEVE FUCKING LINKIN PARK FAAAAAAAAAAAAATHER!!!! BURNSIDE is in this game somewhere.
This should be interesting. |
....You guys trust IMDB over actual interviews and scans from Japan/Asia? Is this legit? O_O
Though Steve has the potential to be alive again, Wesker stated that in Code Veronica Complete in the extra scenes. He took Steve's body as a sample, and mocks at Claire that maybe he can come back to life like he himself did. But Saddler? God does anyone actually DIE in this series?! Its like a franchise coporate dream, characters in a series that never fracking dies! It's a battle and conflict that goes on and on and on! |
Quote:
All I know is that I did kinda like Steve as a character. There was actually a 'good' relationship developed between himself and Claire. What will piss me off is if Steve comes back and is like, the complete polar opposite of Wesker, and hes' the only one that can stop the super soldier. |
Thing is, last we saw Saddler, he was like a pile of Goop thanks to the Rocket Launcher.
Steve died, but his body was still intact and his death was mostly viral...With the insane zombie making science him coming back is a possiblity. Ada had the whole "fall into dark abyss hole" plot device, and we never really SEE her die like Rufus in FF7, so she has leeway. But Saddler? He's a pile of messed up crap, unless they can reconstruct him while he's dead... not easy to just spring back to life RIGHT after his last game. |

Leon A: Ada fell off the railing. Leon B: Ada was thrown at an electrical device and "died" from blood loss, caused by a wound on her stomach. Wesker's Report: Wesker saved Ada, report shows Ada falling off the railing, but also shows the Mr. X tyrant while Wesker talks about Birkin (the video itself could thus be considered uncanonical - well, one could say the same for the text Richard Waugh is reading, as the translation from the original Japanese script is horrible). BIOHAZARD 3 epilogue files: Ada's epilogue shows her preparing for another mission, touching a scar on her stomach (the aforementioned wound) which pretty much confirms the Claire A - Leon B scenarios as the right combination. Regarding BIOHAZARD5: My bet is at Sherry, the woman looks like an older version of her and the hints Takeuchi gave made it pretty obvious. The story could be interesting this time around (if they cut the cliché shit from biohazard4). |
Damn man if its 2010 then , phew what can i say.
Ok graphics do look nice but uptill 2010 they will look pale in comparison to unseen games that will come in between, but again i have sen capcom upgrading the graphics even in last months like oni2 and deadrising. Atleast give me Deadrising 2 before that, can't wait for that long. |
Well, if any of you bothered to read the IMDB forum, it's just a bunch of dickheads who submitted false information.
Actually, what was the name of that dead black cop in BH2. I think I'll submit him to IMDB. Voiced by Mike Tyson of course. |
Actually it was posted on neogaf, that users can edit imdb stuff, so treat it like wikipedia vandalism.
However billy is confirmed to be in game by voice actor, on his official site he confirmed to be giving VA for billy, the link of his site was on gamefront. I personally want billy back. |
This whole thread is a parade of morons. Were Zelda fans getting excited when IMDB listed Snoop Dogg as teh voice of Epona in Twilight Princess?

XBL complete E3 trailer. Droooool! Fucking amazing, wasn't expecting anyless but again 2009? |
Dammit to hell, the link broke,and I only downloaded 34 megs... The graphics were sweet in HD, but I wanna see some ACTION!
Anyone wanna upload some mirror links? |
http://www.gamersyde.com/leech_4151_en.html
Stream first then dload later. The shotgun blast and the punch on face was just awesome. People on forums are complaining about no movement while shooting, totally old formula, i also was expecting somekind of strafing or movement , to move a bit atleast while shooting. Not total fast running like all other shooters , something like REoutbreak. No shinjimikami in direction, ironic how people use someone elses brainchild to churn money. |
Well, it's what? 2 years away? I expect gameplay still to change till then.
Cause now it looks exactly like RE4 with double-triple the enemies and pretteh graphics. (Which, in itself wouldn't be a bad thing... ) |
I can't wait to use that machete on his back.
It's good to see Chris again. Surely there's gonna be some sort of confrontation between him and Wesker. I HOPE YOU CAN FIGHT HIM THIS TIME. That end scene on Code: Veronica X pissed me off so much. Such a tease... Has it been announced yet if the girl is indeed Sherry? Maybe it the tube and the water, but she's giving off something of an Alexia Ashford vibe to me. I hope that's not the case though. She was kind of a shitty villain. |
Really now..there's no way a normal human being can win a fist fight with someone who injected himself with the T-virus. Wesker cheated =P.
|
Sweet, the trailer is also up on the PSN. Downloading now!
I'm also hoping for Wesker confrontation. Just wouldn't be a RE starring Chris if Wesker isn't in it. Heh, it'd also be nice if Jill and Claire could make some sort of an appearance too. Unless Capcom is saving em for RE6 and 7. EDIT: Hm, gameplay seems more or less the same as RE4, same with the new enemies except their a little faster. I dunno, not really that impressed on that front. The VA for Chris sounds like the same guy from the RE remake. |
This game will probably be a flop without Mikami.
Believe it. |

That info along with her blonde hair in trailer, gives many a strong impression that Sherry IS the girl in the trailer. Not official, but clearly from the interview that if not Sherry, it has to be a character we already know, who's under captivity of sorts, and has blonde hair. |
I'm sorry, but the best part of that entire trailer is when he punched that Somalian right in the fucking face.
He needs to scream "BITCH. WHUT." when he does that. |
Somalians in South Africa? Uh.
If this game is going to be something like the trailer suggests, it will be banned almost worldwide. Nigras just cannot be killed in a game without it being of completely racist purposes. Mexicans and Spanish speaking people would be fine, though. |

Its Resident Evil, with all the remake and ports and characters coming back to life despite DYING, a plot hole like that is nothing.
And how we even know if the vaccine worked? What if it just suppresses? What if parts of the virus lingered in her? |
PSN version is better, the colors are always better on PS3, so was the case in Darkness.
Well it just came to my mind yesterday, been thinking for this racism issue and it surprises me that no one pointed Splintercell DA in any forums, in which you can kill africans on whim, and that stage is actually place in africa called Kinshasa. You can even shoot innocent civilians. Gamers you are debating this issue are actually fucked up gamers who get the attention of authorities by mentioning/arguing about the issues at the first place. Even if there is something controversial just atleast dont overblow it on every forum. Then these same gamers complain about banning. Its like shooting your own foot. |
Ummmm... not really. We're preparing for something that has been made into a circus act by the press. It's not like we're the one's going out and saying, "Uh oh, this game is VIOLENT and RACIST. I'm sueing!". So I don't see how you think we're, "Shooting ouselves in the foot".
Also how can the PSN version be better simply because it's on the PS3? It's not like the videos were done on each of the hardware. Hell with an '09 release ALL footage is probably coming off a PC build most likely. Only thing that could change wuality is the resolution of the videos themselves. Either that or Capcom is trying to screw MS over. (Maybe they're part of Epic's club ;) ) |
During the final boss fight, a helicopter drops a giant bucket of fried chicken instead of a rocket launcher.
The trailer on PSN is in fact better, since it is in 1080p. I tried the 360 and hoped that it would be 5.1, but it isn't. |
I heard from the Horror is Alive site that the 1080p version is just a stretched version of the 720p version.
|
Stretched? That doesn't make any sense. Both resolutions are in the same 16:9 or 16:10 resolution. MEaning that your source don't know jack shit about what they're talking about.
@Megalith I knew that it had to be something like a higher res or something. |
Yea, Lith is right. Still, BH/RE 5 will be better looking on the PS3 and that is a guarantee as to my knowledge it is being developed on the PS3 and being ported to the 360.
|

Quote:
Fit's in perfectly, in my racist little world :D |
Stretched is a bad word, more like upscaled from 720 to 1080 -- aka, not as good looking as a native 1080 video would look but still nice(r) for those of us who use 1080p displays.

Quote:

Well it depends on the invicidual engines and how they're programmed that decides which version is better. Ypu can't just say that system A is better at something then system, when the potential of these systems being used right now are probably something like 360 -> 75% and PS3 -> 50%. Devs still have no clue how to use dual-core, nevermond triple or octa-core. Once tools are designed to use these cores and power efficiently THEN and only then will we know the limitations of each system.
Either way though, a game has to have a source build and that means that it therefore has to be on one system before it can be worked on for the other. That's just how things are. Also things are in the VERY early stages where developers are starting to use the PS3 for their source builds due to more cores and the Blu-Ray and then porting the game to the 360. So by the time RE5 is in the Alpha stage to run on console hardware I would guess that running things on a PS3 first will almost be common practice. (for mukti-plat games) Also I'd like to (unfortunately) bring up that RE5 racisim thing up once again. Or should I say, Kym Platt would like to bring the subject up. "For many people the trailer for Resident Evil 5 was seen as an exciting new direction for the definitive survival horror franchise. For others, it's racist hate mongering at its worst. Kym Platt at Black Looks, a blog dedicated to exploring issues concerning African women, expresses her concerns over the trailer which depicts Chris Redfield in what appears to be an African setting, struggling against a horde of black zombies." -Kotaku "This is problematic on so many levels, including the depiction of Black people as inhuman savages, the killing of Black people by a white man in military clothing, and the fact that this video game is marketed to children and young adults. Start them young... fearing, hating, and destroying Black people." -Kym Platt And the gaming community laughs because she doesn't know what's going on. Who want's to e-mail this poor soul and inform her as to what's going on? LMAO Source -> http://kotaku.com/index.php?refId=284811 @Solis It should only stretch to 1080 if you have the system set to 1080. Since the 360 runs in 720 natively, the system would not run the cideo in 1080 otherwise. Unless you're trying to say that CAPCOM or Microsoft originally took the 720 video and made it 1080 native which is just stupid and therefore all involvel should be shot in the stomach and burned alive. |
Quote:
But the trailer on the Xbox Live marketplace seems to be at 720p (as it should be) while the one on the PSN seems to be 1080p. No idea why they wouldn't put the same resolution video on both sites, especially when 720p is its native resolution. |
Hay guys don't you think that his upper arms are way too unrealistic. Is he representing the anabolics industry or what.

Given the size of his arms and shoulders, Chris better be able to disembowel zombies with one quick jab~
|
Don't really see the problem. It's called art-style. Same goes for Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. I don't see what the big deal is. It may be unrealistic, but then again it's a video game and they have to do some things with the way graphics are going now a days otherwise all games would end up looking the same. And yes... that's bad.

Sorry for the bump.
This week's Famitsu magazine came bundled with a special edition DVD on Capcom. The DVD features an interview with the producer of Resident Evil 5, Jun Takeuchi. They show some brief gameplay footage from RE5, Chris' character model and a few firearm models. Anyway, as you could likely expect, the video's already on the Internets. GameVideos.com - Resident Evil 5 'DVD Feature' |
they reused Re4's animation but then again its just on the production stage.
RE4 was good and all but they need to add something new to the game, and enemy boiling down to nothing doesn't justify any new features. |
I dunno, RE4 was so insanely good, I could live with a pure cosmetic update (=> shinier graphics, new levels, new weapons, same gameplay) for the next game.
'Sides, it IS still deep in production AFAIK. When is it coming out? Last time I checked they aimed for somewhere in 09... |
Gametrailers.com - Resident Evil 5 - Captivate 08 Trailer
New trailer. Looks more and more like 4 with more glitz and enemies. Which is totally fine, as long as they manage to implement some minor changes like... The ability to move while shooting. Though the trailer doesn't seem to imply that happening. Meh. It's still going to be a very good game. The RE4 formula is good enough to be used again is it is. |
They even reused the shoot-driver-bus-falls-over from RE4 :tpg:
Judging from all the trailers we've seen, it looks like you're up against a lot of enemies at the same time. I wonder if ammo will be as scarce as usual, and you have to rely on hiding/escaping/using environment or if Capcom wanted to make Chris into Rambo. |
Ammo was supposed to be scarce in RE4? o_Ô
Okay, maybe if you really missed many, many shots. |
It's still badass, although it uses the Biohazard 4 formula...
But this brawny Chris in Biohazard 5 is real bad-ass! Love him! Can't wait to get my hands on this game.... |
I enjoyed RE4 quite a lot =D It didn't feel as creepy as past RE games (since main character was already such a badass).
However, I have no idea why they make Chris look like he's on roids. Should've toned it down a few inches on the biceps :( Nice voice acting so far =D Better than RE4's |
It basically looks like they stuck with the RE4 formula but with a new look. They even brought back the chainsaw fiends with the bags over their heads and everything! Gulp.
Possible RE4 spoiler:
|
Major props for the thread-title change ='D
|
I saw the trailer, and it pretty much looked like a combination of RE4, better graphics, and a dash of Dead Rising thrown in. Looks neat, and I think it's funny that the RE hardcore fans that said the plague stuff from RE4 made it un-RE will be sorely disappointed. Still, I hope they make another game that is more like the pre-RE4 games, since they did have their own unique things that were lost in the upgrade.

What's the problemo with the new look of Chris? He's badass to the outmost! Do you prefer him like he was in Biohazard Code Veronica or like he was in Biohazard? Because I really don't, now that I've seen him in Biohazard 5.... He is created in the motif of Arnold Schwarzenegger from the motion picture "Predator". By the way this is the japanese version of the trailer. http://static.capcom.com/residentevi...2_japanese.flv WTF the title change....:p:fap: |

Last I checked, before RE4, your character controlled like a fucking tank, the puzzles were minor variations on "Use keys to open doors and/or do an irritating logic puzzle", there was no camera control to speak of and the voice acting was horrid. There's a reason none of those were in RE4. Because they are bad things. Additional Spam: Quote:

Is it just me, or did Resident Evil take a TON from early hollywood movies from the 90's? I can think of a few right off the top of my head, but I have always found it odd how much Chris Redfield on the cover of the first Resident Evil..looked like the male lead from Speed. Spoiler:

A little more believable than a female heroine wearing a cocktail dress :shrug:

Quote:
I mean aside for sending up the line "Bitch in the red dresss.", it has no real function. Sheva's design looks cool though, I like the touch of African Native Jewellry on top of the combat look. (The wallpapers on the official site exposes that her name is Sheva, incase you're wondering where I got it from.) |
Quote:
|
'A combat look' doesn't necessarily mean 'official military uniform'. Surely you can see the army themes in that outfit. Of course it's still fan service, but combined with military service this time. More functional than a cocktail dress, certainly.
|
But nowhere near as awesome as a cocktail dress. Also, that woman can't be black, she's severely lacking in the "ass" department.

She's authentically african, not african-american (yeah yeah).
Anyway pieces coming together and waiting with hope. |

Yeah, but hold on!~ She isn't packing dual desert eagles =0 Also, her grocery cart is a couple cantaloupes shy, if you get my drift. And I'm not making a reference to her intelligence =V

Sigh. Capcom folds. Introduces a "diverse mix" of zombies instead of just black. As someone who has seen a few parts of Africa, I must say that it doesn't make sense to have whites mixed in to shitty little hovels and the like. South Africa? Sure. Big cities? You betcha. But somewhere in the middle of nowhere in North Africa? Uh.
Killing Spaniards = fine and dandy Killing Africans = zomg racist |
Well maybe they could justify that if say, UN or people from Red Cross travelled to North Africa in real life, then they could hypothetically get infected in RE5...
Still, I wouldn't be surprise if this IS a response to the whole "Aiee! Must have diversity with Blacks or its racist!" BS. |
There is online co-op in Biohazard 5!!!!!
E3 trailer E308: Resident Evil 5 trailer - Gamersyde E3 gameplay footage E308: Resident Evil 5 gameplay - Gamersyde |
Trailer looks bad ass. Love that we're gonna have a car chase sequence with gameplay. And Biker "zombies" too. Interesting that Sheva is on the right side of the screen when you play as her... I also spot the trolls making a come back in this one.
As for online Co Op, awesome that people can Co-Op this on LIVE. Annoying for me though if my and my fiance wanna play together... In the same room... With just one 360. Still, looks awesome! Maybe when we can afford two 360s and two LIVE accounts... And have enough room for two TVs, I would love to Co Op with my fiance or friends who come over. Untill then, I'd probably ring up some online buddies to play with. As for the Co-Op video, loved it. The characters assisting each other to reach places one cannot reach, and then supporting the character despite the distance in combat, by using weapons like a sniper rifle. Also like the fact that one character can shoot the door lock so the other can join him or her. Boss fights are defintly gonna be interesting with this new element. One thing I like to know is that whether or not we have friendly fire in this game. In RE4 you can definitly hurt Ashley with everything except shotgun spread shots. (She only dies if you aim the shotgun right at her.) The video also shows that item pick up does not interrupt the flow of the game like the last one. From what I can tell, changing your gear is also likely all done in real time, meaning I doubt there's a pause button when you hit the menu, if there is one... Another thing I noticed is that the equipment set up is similar with Umbrella Chronicles. A basic handgun and then you can immediatly switch to a heavier weapon on the fly. This is probably done to get rid or minimise pauses that happen when fiddling around with equipment in the menu screen, which can't really happen in a Co Op action game. Also the video confirms that Sheva is part of the same new group Chris is in, but she's stationed in the African faction, which likely means that she was trained and born there. Meaning those who are still pulling the racist card need to shut the hell up. And from the trailer, looks like some US army people are also stationed there, maybe they're there for relief purposes, but it shows there are SOME white people located there for legit reasons. Here's a youtube version with clearer audio from the developer comments:

E3: Resident Evil 5 gameplay - Gamersyde |
I was just on a few websites checking out this game and the new E3 trailer. I guess, to say the least, I am disappointed. The game looks great, the Co-op looks interesting, but what irks me is the character screaming something about fireworks.
I'm hoping it's a just a random character you shoot in the head and get it over with, but typically, when you see a person in the Resident Evil world like that, it's an important boss character in 'some' way. Alfred from Code Veronica, Dead Midget from 4, the singing mountain white guy from 0. All those characters ruined the atmosphere the game had going for them. I'm going to stop bitching now. I'm still going to play this game and like it no matter what. I need to stop living in Resident Evils 'past' freaky experiences. |
But cheesy over dramatic voice acting and weird characters is what makes Resident Evil the way it is! It's a tradition!
:P In all seriousness, that guy in the beginning of that trailer did have a fucking annoying voice. Interviews on gametrailers revealed that multiplayer Co Op can be done with just a single console, for people who wanna play with their friends in the same house. Also this interview states that head shots cause the infected to spout weird winged thing, meaning more bullets will be eaten up, hence why most E3 players were not using head shots. |
Can someone tell me the purpose of co-op in a biohazard game.
YO, CAN I GET DAT HERB... |
Well Chris IS in a group that now specialises in taking care of Bio weapons, I doubt they would be dumb enough NOT to pair him up with a partner in dangerous areas. And would you rather have an AI partner watch your back, or someone you know that can control Sheva properly?
Not to mention you can drop health items if the other person needs it, essentially you now have more inventory space and someone else to grab stuff you may have missed. Resident Evil latly seems to have the characters go into dangerous areas on purpose for missions as oppose to being caught in a situation and trying to escape, so it makes sense to have your team members working together. And even in RE2, when Claire found Leon again, I didn't see any logical reason for them to seperate aside the fact that the game was designed that way. I think in a real situation when they met up again, they would partner up and make their way out of there. If there's a zombie situation, I would defintly wanna be working with someone then going alone. |

Regardless, RE5 is gonna have Co op no matter what. I really don't see any reason why people have to be so upset. It's not like you HAVE to co op with someone.
I mean you could complain about the AI partner, but frankly Ashley never really gave me much trouble except for that one bloody water room, and this AI partner can actually hold a weapon this time. So far I don't see that big of a reason to bitch and moan. And again, if AI sucks, get a friend to help out. Its not that hard with LIVE and all. And unless that Capcom rep flubbed his line, this game also feature single unit co op so you can invite your friends over to play. |
Dunno man, isn't inviting people over and playing with people you actually know a Nintendo thing and therefore for kids

So what you're saying is that the harcore gamer don't have friends or what? I mean jeez Gears of War has co op and no one whinges about that. People play together on LIVE or they do it offline split screen, like my sister and his boyfriend. They co oped on Call of Duty 4 as well. When I told them RE5 is gonna have single unit co op, they plan to get that as well.
And before the "thats a shooter" argument comes in, I feel RE4 is becoming more like a 3rd person shooter with horror elements everytime I replay it. The only difference is you have to watch your ammo count on the first run through. When you accumulate ammo on replay or get the god weapons, well, its pretty much not that scary anymore and you're just shooting through just about everything. This feels like the paranoia people had when RE4 decided to change the entire format. I replayed RE4 more than any RE game in the series, and I have played all the main series games. |

But whatever. Untill the game comes out, I choose to be optimistic about it, and I look forward to playing Co Op with people I know. I was optimistic about RE4 and it paid off well. |

And I dunno Pangalin well, again you are assuming everyone has the same knowledge on how each member acts. And I still don't understand why people seem to think co oping with friends is lame or something. What is so wrong with playing with your friends? If Ashley can be controlled by a real person instead of an AI that can only follow Leon or stand still, I bet other people having trouble would enjoy having that option. And again, Co Op is optional and not required. It annoys me when people bitch out on something completely optional. The series has gone in a different new direction and its fun to play. If it wasn't for you, just don't play it then. And at least bitch AFTER you played RE5. |
As someone with a few extra languages learned, I have to do something I would otherwise never do Kairi. Ever. This will probably never happen again.

New trailers
Gametrailers.com - Resident Evil 5: Reviews, Trailers, and Interviews Two new trailers. One of the best trailers I've seen so far. The cutscenes look fantastic and voice acting is decent, the new gameplay footage looks stunning, especially the boss fights. The music which I know is recorded by a full orchestra in the US sounds amazing. Its gonna sound so cinematic when we get to play it, and I am defintly getting the soundtrack. Also liked that Chris referenced Leon's report on Ganados. Spoiler:
On spoiler notes however, the last shot made my heart stop. Image under spoiler tag. Spoiler:
Also this is how split screen should look. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...itSCREEN-2.jpg |
Wow, now I'm really excited for this game. The soundtrack sounds pretty good, the piece they were using in the first trailer sounds oddly familiar to one of the themes from Onimusha. I hope that second, cam, trailer pops up on the J PSN next week.

Here's how to play the 360 RE5 demo that Capcom has region locked from Japan.
Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire - download the five rar parts - extract them with free program called Winrar - this will get you one folder named "content" - burn this folder to a cd, burn it as a data CD with Nero works fine. - insert cd into 360, it will show up as "mixed media" - navigate to "my xbox", "demos" - click & play! I played it online with friends and it works great. Demo includes Co-Op offline and online, and single player. It has two levels. One is about surviving and holding your ground, the other level involves more co-op and killing Chainsaw dude. Basically what we heard from demo reports. I also borrowed a review copy of RE: Degeneration. Animation and graphics aren't as good as RE5, but the script was typical RE, so I was happy with it . Enjoyable if you are a RE fan. |
Very cool, thanks for the share Kairi! Just a question, do we have to burn the content on a disc or can we just upload it to a memory stick and access it from there?
|
I have not tried it using a memory stick, you can give it a shot if you want. Post the results here if you find out anything. I just burned it on a CD and it runs fine.
|
I thought the demo was out for the ps3 as well but I guess not. No region locks on demos there as far as I know so I'm hoping they release it the coming week so I can play some co op with some buds. Heard some love and hate towards the demo so far but that was in the gametrailers forums and just about everyone there have proven to be idiots.
|
I was reading elsewhere that the 360 version became region locked... So for the time, this is the only way you can get it for that system. I'm not sure for the PS3 however.
|
Quote:

The demo won't work on a thumb drive. The only way to access one from what I can tell is through the video/music/pictures folders, and it won't recognize it as a demo. CDs are the only way.
|
Uh, I accessed mine under the game demos section. But maybe different systems reacted differently? Or maybe older dashboard?
|
Are you talking about accessing the demo or a thumb drive through the demo section? Because the demo wouldn't show up while it was on my thumb drive. Burning it to a CD worked though.
|
I was referring to accessing the demo.... But now I realise you meant the thumb drive. Sorry, my mistake.
|
Yea, I tried the memory stick, doesn't work. The 360 won't recognize the portable as memory.

Instructions to burn and play
You don't have to have a modded console to play this game, it'll work on any. Just download the files and unrar everything as normal. You should be left with a folder called "0000000000000000". Create a new folder called "content" and stick the folder called "0000000000000000" inside it. Now simply use a program such as Nero to make a data cd and burn the folder called "content" you just made onto a blank CD (any type should do). Now just place the CD or dvd into your 360 and navigate to your games library. In the Demos section you should now see Resident Evil 5 listed (it'll be in Japanese writing). Select it and the demo will boot . |
Playing the demo pretty much seals this as a Day 1 purchase, to me at least. The co-op really is the shining star of this game, though Capcom did a really good job of making the partner AI workable if multiplayer isn't an option (which is good since they cut off American Live Accounts from playing the demo). I do wish the cross pad inventory controls worked a bit better, specifically because I'd like there to be room for mapping diagonals like Fallout 3. Even though diagonals are shit on the 360 controller, it beats going into the menu. At least in Fallout 3.
I tried checking up on a rumor that the Resident Evil 5 demo was to be made available to the North American marketplace via purchasing the new Bionic Commando (not Rearmed, they're talking about Bionic Commando: Dreadlocks Edition) but the site that reported that news wasn't official and it took down the news story as quickly as it went up. I'm not sure why you'd want to keep a demo like this from the public by basically slapping a 60 dollar price tag on it and given how awesome it is, but I suppose times are tough and we all need to use our DVD Burners anyway. |
Maybe I was just doing something wrong, but I ran out of Ammo too quickly and the controls to use the knife were WAY too complicated. However in general presentation it looked good, lighting effects especially, and the controls otherwise were okay... I just wish I didn't have to hold down like 4 different buttons just to swing the knife.
|
The demo awesome. There are so many things you could do that I didn't discover till, like, my 10th time through. Things like transformers that you can shoot down to stun enemies, some flamable canisters in the first area that you could use, and even a SMG that you can find in the first part of the demo. There are also even more melee options than just the straight, uppercut, and hook. Like with Chris you can choke/neck grab the guy from behind, not sure how you actually pull it off as it was really a fluke discovery when I was split-screening with my brother.
I really hope they change the coop split-screen, I was expecting it to be something like Gears2, but what they gave us is really terrible IMO. It's so hard to make out anything in such a small screen (using a 37", maybe time to shop for a 70"). One thing I noticed when I was cooping online with Kairi Li was that we couldn't switch weapons, something you could when you're playing offline with AI or split-screen. Kinda odd, hopefully it's only a restriction that was placed on the demo. The best control type I found was Type C (RE4 with strafing). The strafing made it easier to navigate when walking, and because you're forced into a static position when aiming it kind of renders the Type D (shooter style) control useless. Took a while to get used to the RE4 style of controls again, but once it all came back to me there really was no better option for the game (for me anyway). Plus shoot/swipe(with knife) and melee being the same button made it much easier to combo the two. The AI for Sheva was pretty good, especially if you've set her up to be a healer. Though I do wish she'd use the ammo more sparingly at times, as there are instances where the knife works perfectly fine. It's also neat how you can set her AI to Attack or Cover. Attack where's she's much more aggresive in attacking and taking point. Cover, basically watching your back and healing. Waiting to try out the PS3 version, before I really commit to one version. Though right now I'm leaning towards the 360 version, as I'm most likely going to get more co-op time there (eg. more friends on the 360 are likely to get this). Anyone know what's being offered for the collector's edition? I'm assuming there is one, since it is RE. BTW, if you push and hold the R button and then presh the L button Chris/Sheva will do a taunt (push down on the sticks). Quote:

I'll give it another go and see if my results this time fare better.

I've tried looking for news on the RE5 demo, but so far the only official word from Capcom is that "It is coming to North America we just won't say when.

Pretty sure it's just a marketing ploy to generate interest and conversation. It appears as an ad in game magazines if I recall, so I highly doubt it's a huge spoiler.

Its not a huge spoiler. If you go to the official Japanese website, her gravestone is the frigging FRONTPAGE BANNER.

I'm gonna be sad if Jill dies. I'm currently playing all the RE games so I'm ready for 5. I just beat RE0, RE1 for gamecube, RE1 for PSX, and RE2. I just started three. I'm gonna play Code Veronica X, then # 4.

woah! I like the RE series but I never really been a big fan, mainly because for some reason that I don't know, I really really suck at them lol so I never finished one game.
My friend is really a big fan, so I watched her a lot play the game, but this trailer just totally sold the game for me. It might even be a day 1 purchase even though I know I'll have trouble playing it lol |

Capcom surely improved in that department, some facial expression of Sheva was really stunning. |

Umbrella Chronicles debunks that theory of yours, since Jill and Chris found each other and then, with a large team of people, infiltrated a Umbrella Base and took them down at the end of that game. That event took place way after RE3. They then both join the BSAA, hence why the group name is on her gravestone. She must have "died" in one of the missions. Quote:

For those who wanted to see the TGS trailer on their PS3 it's available for download on the JPSN. Not sure how long it's been on there for, but it's definitely recently since it never came up during TGS.
Oh, and NECA is releasing RE5 figures. No surprise considering they made figures for RE4 and did a RE10th Anniversary line. I'd say the RE5 line is looking to be the best in the series, although Sheva looks kinda weird (something up with the face), especially now that they've finally added some articulation to the legs (elbow, torso, hip and knee joints). From what I can tell the articulation will be on par to NECA's TMNT line or Dom from their Gears of War line. Check out the end of this interview with Randy Falk to get a glimpse of an unpainted prototype Chris with the new articulation in motion.

Is it just me or does this game seem to be looking more like a Metal Gear Solid type game instead of Resident Evil? Don't get me wrong, its a good formula but its just not Resident Evil's. From the trailer it seems as if we get cut scenes showing the antagonists together plotting and planning. Has there ever been in a Resident Evil game...scenes that took place that wasnt around the character you were playing?
Spoilers about certain former STARS member... Spoiler:
|
RE4 had a couple of scenes like that, namely the ones where Saddler sends Krauser out after Leon and where Krauser is talking to Ada.
|
Yeah I forgot about those, it's been a while since I played it. I guess it makes sense, RE4 was kind of a change in direction from the original RE formula. It was one of the rare instances where the change helped the series. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy RE 1-3 and CVX.
|
Have they announced what will be in the North American collectors edition of RE5? I know Japan is getting the art book and USB thumb drive. Gamestop is giving some shitty art cell. I'm guessing the collectors edition will come with an additional DVD containing previous trailers which they could just fit it in the blu-ray disc for the PS3 version.
|
Whatever it is, it needs to be worth the $90 Gamestop is touting. I talked myself out of getting the SF IV Collector's Edition after seeing this, but an art cell is NOT worth the extra $30 imho.
|
Well I hope they announce what's going to be in the collectors edition besides a damn DVD and tin case which will get dented easily.
I also need to play the other RE games before 5 comes out. The only one I've beaten is RE4. I like the games but all the ones before 4 have horrible controls that stop me from continuing the game. |
The demo is coming to the West in the next couple of weeks:
Quote:
|
Hmm, I wonder what the delay is for? I mean, I'm guessing it'll be as simple as "We wanted to treat our Japanese audience to it before you western heathens" but either way, I'm hoping for the possibility of an added scenario since I played the shit out of the Japanese demo.
|
Gamestop posted the Collector's edition goodies for RE 5:
The Resident Evil 5 Collector's Edition comes with: * Chris Redfield Figurine * Tricell Messenger Bag * BSAA Patch * Kijuju Keychain * Bonus Disc * The game and bonus disc come packed in a Special Collector's Steel Book Case. http://www.ebgames.com/gs/images/bon...01_bonusLG.jpg $89.99. I'm probably sold on this. |
Ahh, dagget beat me to it. Nice extras there, I like the Bag and Shoulder patch the most.
I haven't kept up with the thread, what's in the bonus disc? Also, this is only tangently related, but I came across something that Resident Evil fans might be interested in. The Umbrella Umbrella: http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/b4e7/ |
Damn, that CE looks sweet. If we had this over here I'd actually be laying down an order. Since all we get is a steelbook and DVD for an extra £15, they can take a running jump.
|
How nice, the collectors edition comes with a manual.
I don't know if I want to get the collectors edition or not. The Bonus disc is probably just a DVD and not even a blu-ray disc. I might end up getting it since I won that kijuju spamming contest Capcom has where the top 100 sharers get their names printed in the manual and I got first place. It seems the contest is still going on with the latest videos but w/e I got first place spamming the first video. So instead of just getting the regular edition I might as well get the collectors edition and get the extra goodies which don't really interest me other than the steel case and the kijuju necklace. |
Yea, I'm with Dagobert on this. The CE looks nice, though content-wise there's nothing there that I'm dying to have. I'd probably never use the Tricell messenger bag, BSAA patch, or Kijuju necklace/keychain (they say it's one thing, but looks like another). The bonus disc contains some short 20 minute making of featurette. And the Chris figurine, well I'd rather just purchase the NECA one (articulation). I'm actually rather surprised Capcom didn't do something similar with figurine as they have done with Street Fighter IV (PS3 CE got Ryu and 360 CE got Viper, could have done something similar with RE5 had there been a Sheva figurine as well).
The price is kinda steep too, the bag is probably to blame for that. If they had included a soundtrack (like SF4, whose price is 10 bucks cheaper) I would have been much more inclined drop a pre-order for it. On well, in the end, I'll probably cave in and purchase it anyway because it's a collectable. At least the steelbook packaging has a pretty nice design. Oh yeah, the live marketplace has the second TGS trailer available for the download. You know, the one that showed Jill's tombstone at the end (it's no secret now, everyones blabbed about it). Interestingly, Chris has an alternate outfit in one of his confrontations with Wesker. I'm guessing Chris must have met Wesker once more after Code Veronica. The location they were in looked similar to the one where they showed the old man in the wheelchair in (probably Spencer). This could explain Wesker's line in the TGS trailer (the first one), "we last met at the Spencer estate, wasn't it?" Cause I seriously doubt that was in refernce to the mansion in the first game otherwise that would retcon his confrontation with Chris in CV, assuming that line is directed to Chris. |
Holy shit, the LE pack looks awesome. Bag will have its use.
Can't wait actually. Preordering mine as soon as I have the money. Quote:

Demo is out or has been for a while. Finally got around to playing it on PS3, and I have to say that I enjoyed it. It plays similiar to RE4, but I feel like its more fluid. Im not a fan of the over the shoulder type action games but Resident Evil executes it really well.
I tried Co-op with some random people, and I have learned two things. First of all, its fun as balls to pop someones head off and then start unloading onto the flying BoW that comes out of their neck. Secondly, there are some very very bad players who act like douches on Playstation Network. One partner ran right into the chainsaw boss and got one-shot decapitated. Another one just ran around back and forth and kept hitting his "Call partner" button. Hopefully one of my friends gets this for PS3 so I have someone decent to play with. Oh heres a neat gameplay video for those interested. This is the Kraken/ Spoiler:
Oh well anyway story wise a couple things were brought to light. Spoiler:
|
I got around to trying the PS3 version as well. I gotta say I prefer the Type D controls for this version rather than the Type C. Oddly enough the shooter type controls I felt worked much better on the the sixaxis/dualshock 3 than it did on the 360 controller. It's probably because I played a lot of MGS4/MGO, also could have been that the L2 worked better than the LB for the knife. The reversal of the Square and X buttons from RE4 made things kind of confusing as well for the Type C. If you remember in RE4 Square was to run/reload while X was to fire/melee/action, now it's reversed for 5.
Differences in the versions, well I noticed there was practically no screening tearing in the PS3 version. When I played the 360 version it often screen teared during the cut scenes. If it did happen during gameplay I didn't notice though, since I was too busy concentrating on not getting hit. The online coop over the PSN wasn't too stable for me. I kept getting connection lost errors when either trying to connect to host or right in the middle of the combat (like 3-5 minutes into a hosted room). Though, it not a big deal to me since I plan on getting the 360 version anyway. Playing the offline again, I noticed that Sheva's AI is really good when you set her to Attack. She makes taking out the Executioner and the Chainsaw guy so much easier. All you have to do is cover her and she'll focus potting headshots on the big guys (best to give her the rifle, she's awesome with it). |
I'm pretty sure in their recent FAQ JoyStiq have pretty much revealled the answer to a question that came up in various released screenshots. Don't read unless you're interested in potential spoilers (or at least the idea of one).
Spoiler:

A new trailer came up today, a month before the game release, and after viewing it I almost wish I hadn't. Alot of unseen cutscenes and spoilers. Be warned.

Story wise, this game looks freakin' awesome.
Being such a huge fan of Wesker, I don't think I'll be disappointed--unless he gets the Boba Fett treatment somehow. |
If by "Boba Fett treatment" you mean "apparently killed only to come back later and continue being awesome," that already happened in RE1. Read up on some EU dude.
|
When did Boba Fett ever come back? And I don't think books count.
I will admit Wesker did get his ass handed to him in RE1 very lamely, but he's been awesome since Code Veronica (except that he got hit once and ran like a bitch... but we can overlook that!) I guess to clarify, I mean I hope he doesn't get fucked over... by a blind guy holding a stick... |
Based on what we've seen from Wesker so far, he will be awesome in this game.

Reboot from the gameplay or storyline aspect? =0 Or both?
|
I don't expect they'll be changing the gameplay much seeing as the modern over-the-shoulder-shooter style has worked so well for them thusfar. I wouldn't be too irritated at a storyline reboot; it'd certainly save the series from getting more convoluted and ridiculous than it already is.
|
A storyline reboot wouldn't bother me at all since I only started playing the series at RE4. I'd imagine I'm not the only one who picked up the series once that terrible old control scheme had been tossed out, so beginning a new story could be beneficial.
|
Game was leaked early, saw some gameplay footage of later stuff I haven't seen. Looks amazing so far, although it is a far cry from what I believe to be the best game this year. Still will be a valid purchase for me.
For those interested... Spoiler:
|
I have the game, I'm a couple hours into it. Co - op is fun. But there are little things that annoy me.
-Very minor details below- If you have a full inventory and you see an herb on the ground, you can't just use it. The AI for Shiva kinda gets in the way sometimes. The devil dogs are back from RE4 and they are tough. No merchant, you have another purchase system. Very similar to RE4, I just wish this had the motion sensor wii controls. |
So Gamestop is doing a special offer where you can trade in two games and get this for $19.99.
Here's the list of eligible games. |
My copy of the game arrived today, so if anyone else has it on the 360 and wants to do co-op, let me know.
|
I've got my copy alot earlier than most people, due to a store finding a loophole for me to get it early. I've beaten normal mode once last night, with my husband on split screen, and it was alot of fun. It was shorter than RE4 due to no backtracking, and not as much bosses, but the game is overall really enjoyable.
If anyone wants to Co Op on the 360 sometime, PM me. |
Most people seem to be getting it early if they want it bad enough. My GameStop friend got her copy like a week ago.
I'll be picking it up through normal channels tomorrow. |
I'm surprised Capcom isn't keeping a tighter lid on this considering what a major release it is. Still, it's good to hear that it's a lot of fun despite the shorter length. Co-op should add a lot of replay value too, and considering I've played RE4 2.5 times (twice on Gamecube, halfway on Wii) I'm not overly concerned.

Bit off topic but I figure you guys would know better than anyone. I've got a US PS3 but I'm living in England. As far as I know Sony had a regionless policy on their games, but any reason I should get RE5 imported from the states as opposed to picking it up here?
Unfortunately, I think I'll be trying to tackle the split screen co-op since my friend I want to play it with doesn't have a PS3. Luckily my TV's big enough if we sit close enough to it, crane our backs, and wear our reading glasses we should be in good shape. |
I just beat this game...and 'plot' wise..it's pretty fuckin' retarded. Especially when you find out who's under the god damn mask.

- The person under the mask didn't add ANYTHING to the game. It just (in the words of Leon) Pointless and stupid.

In ten years of waiting for some story development in Resident Evil, nothing ...NOTHING has happened that has been slightly eerie/entertaining or worth talking with your friends about to try to get them into the game. |
I'd take a game I want to play with friends over a game story I want to discuss with friends. The story is fine, it drives events pretty well and moves at a reasonable pace throughout. The supporting files and documents give a reasonable insight into the world they've created and seem to tie up a bunch of threads from the series.
No, it's not an amazing story, but the RE games have never had amazing stories. What they have had is great set pieces and memorable gaming moments. Who doesn't remember the dogs leaping into the hallway the first time in RE1, for example. RE5 is certainly more action orientated, but I'm really enjoying it and have been more than to go back and replay sections many times over to look for items, emblems and other stuff. |

Sheva's not that bad, you just have to limit her ammo and she takes a bit more care with it. Alternatively, complete the game with a mate, get the infinite ammo for one of the guns (like the first pistol) and let her go crazy with that. I've found the AI to be reasonably decent for the most part. Sure she sometimes stands right behind me and shoots me (thankfully it doesn't hurt), but she does a reasonable job of staying out of trouble, taking a few zombies down and helping me out when I get caught (well, sometimes).
|
She seems to do a lot better with a machine gun than she does with the handgun. She knows to just do short bursts of fire, and it doesn't feel like she blows through ammo nearly as badly. She feels more helpful overall, too.
|
I'm having a hard time deciding about weaponry for Sheeva. Cash feels pretty limited, and all I've given her so far is the M92 (I'm letting her take all handgun bullets while I go shotgun/mp5). I've upgraded everything excep reload speed to max, and I'm starting to think about giving her another weapon instead of wasting money on upgrading a shitty gun?
By the way, Possible spoiler about handgun:
|
I'd say no. The M39R isn't that spectacular unless you have, of course, nothing else. For a first infinite ammo gun, sure, but it costs 20,000 upgrade points. Something far better used getting infinite on a magnum or something.
|
Theres no doubt that the AI is an awesome shot in this game, but for the most part all it does is piss me off. I was fighting wesker yesterday and she kept standing in the damn hallway getting seen when I was trying to hide.
I hope she gets run over by cancer the next time she crosses the street! Oh on a second note. I hope Garr also gets run over by cancer |
I just got the game today and have been playing it co-op with Sian, been a really good time so far. Took a while to get used to not just fucking off and doing our own thing, but once we did it started getting fun. It's aiming to be a pretty short game though =(
|
I <3 the infinite rocket launcher so very much. Just saying.
|
ScarletDeath has pretty much plowed through the game a few times and is helping out with it. I've pretty much been his support the entire time since he knows what he's doing but its a breathe of fresh air to have another human character to play with. It really brings back memories of the olden games with all the co-op fun in the retro games.
Plus he taught me a trick to duplicate items which is nice. |
Hey guys, just picked up RE5. Anyone care to Co-op with me this weekend? :)
|
hey got this too today on ps3 and played a good 3h with my friend in offline co-op and this game is just amazing! So much better in co-op!
btw after my firend was gone I decided to join an online game from the start to see how's the online and I saw that I add all the items from my previoust game in my inventory. This is great but can the other player pick things from my vault or are they separated? Because I wouldn't want to join a game and see the other playes just picking all my things from my inventory... |
Quote:
Your inventories are completely separate, but you can trade things such as herbs, grenades, ammo, etc. They aren't allowed to just take them, you have the option to give the item you have selected to the other player. I think the only things you can't trade are your weapons, everything else is pretty much fair game. |
Quote:
Co-op has been really intense a lot because of ammo management. Most of the times we're yelling at each other it's because one of us has fucked off and the other time is ammo. One thing that's frustrating to me is for the weapon types we share there's no way to give a certain amount of ammo to someone. When ammo is tight and I have a full box of handgun ammo I'd rather give 25 of my ammo to my partner so I don't have to find her again when I need to reload. Makes you dependent on them though, which could be considered a good thing I suppose. |
Okay, I've looked at the leaderboards for Chapter 1 on the PS3 version... How the fuck are people getting times of ~11 min. for all of Chapter 1? The best I can do on 1-1 alone is ~12 min. Is there some way to make the helicopter arrive faster or something?

You can load Sheva up with Rotten Eggs, which sell for 2,000 a pop, and make 45,000 each time you do it. I did that up to 999 Rotten Eggs, sold it all for a cool 1,990,000, bought and upgraded all my weapons, and I still had over 1,000,000. |
well since were were pretty much playing via online, he gave me around 200 of his rotten eggs, tons of ammo, and a bunch of first aids. Needless to say it was tedious and took a bit of time. He quit via XMB (holding the PS button and quiting game) so that his game wouldn't get saved. Then I just entered the game and saved my inventory.
To be honest I didn't realize what he was doing until he told me, I thought he was just going to give me a few items since it was my first playthrough. Which is I refused to sell anything I haven't gotten on my own in order to keep some fairness and wont ruin the game for me. Atleast until the second run. |
well I just beat the game last night thanks for Scarlet but we accidentally found some glitches while playing online.
Spoiler:
EDIT: oops sorry bout the double |

Me and my sister played yesterday, and we never saw an option to sign in a second profile on the second controller. All you can do is turn the controller on and press start, and then both players just go to the organization/shop screen.
|
That's a shame: no independent trophy support (not a huge deal but good for shits and giggles) and most annoying of all is the second player can't sell or upgrade anything. I see the logic behind it, especially for online co-op but it'd be nice to be able to give your partner a certain amount of money from your own to do their own upgrades with instead of having to drop the gun down into the inventory for player 1 to upgrade. Super lame. Game is fun but we've been playing it 3 days in 3-4 hour burts and we're almost done with it now. Lots of replayability with weapon upgrades and playing through chapters/mercenaries etc but it's a shame after how long Resident Evil 4 was.
|
Beat the game the other day with my brother via splitscreen co-op, and man was it fun. We jumped right into verteran mode, since we both found the normal mode to be too easy when trying the demo before, and boy was it pretty challenging. The difficulty really stepped up when you started facing the tribal majini's in chapter 3, I think it was 3-1 with those two giant majinis did we get stuck for a bit, since we were trying to kill them. After our 7th try of that tactic we just gave up and just went with one lowering the bridge while the other distracted the horde and making the mad dash across right after.
I really enjoyed the Wesker fight, even though it was a bit of a puzzle at first, it was so satisfying when you land the melee combo successfully. The splitscreen I ended up liking, even though the screen was so much smaller compared to other games, I found myself getting less confused. As with Gears of War split I occassionally found myself looking at my partners screen, and wondering WTF I was doing. We just unlocked everyone in Mercenaries mode too, great to see that the mode has co-op offline and on. Sheva's Long Bow is pretty power, even though it lacks an aiming sight. |

So I've beaten this game twice. Going through again; been redoing missions to get money for my characters! I've been completely addicted to purchasing and upgrading new weapons.
Definitely one of my favorite games so far this year. |
Me and Sian are stuck on
Spoiler:
Any help would be appreciated! |
Pretty sure the orange things that open up on his back and chest are how you get him to falter and eventually die. I've always just won by shooting those. Worked in every difficulty.

If you didn't mean that part then I feel silly for typing it all out. |
I did mean that part actually, thanks! I'll give it a go next time we play

I'd just like to jump in here real quick and express my thoughts:
I don't own a 360 or a PS3 so I haven't actually played the game, but I watched the important scenes from youtube and I'm kinda glad I didn't buy it(was going to play it at a friend's place.). I just have a general dislike for it, especially the character models(For the old characters.), they're just, unrecognisable and silly. Looks like it's an all right game, but I won't be buying it. SPOILER: SPOILER2: |
Aside for Chris "Rock Solid" Redfield's stupidly large arms, I think the character models are really well done in the game (certainly Sheva). And really, watching the cutscenes from a Resident Evil game is about as good an indicator of quality as judging a film by watching the credits.
Given you don't own a 360 or a PS3 I doubt Capcom will be losing any sleep over your statement that you won't be buying (one has to wonder, if the characters didn't look silly to you, what you would buy it?). As for your first spoiler: Spoiler:
|
hey guys i am going to make sweeping judgements on a game i have never played.
Such impertinence , Exo. Stop wasting our time with that nonsense. |
OK, on the topic of hair colour changes, after doing some reading I found the supposed reasoning:
Spoiler:
|
Why so they need to come up with silly shit like that to justify different coloured hair? Why couldn't they have just said that Jill fancied changing her hair colour so nipped to Boots and bought some dye one day?
I thnik sometimes the people who write all the backstory guff get a little carried away... |
Quote:
I mean, the game looks splendid, I just think the older characters looks almost unrecognisable. Quote:
But yeah, I watched a good 1~ hours of footage, I got a big chunk of the story. And.. that's mainly what I don't like about it. Quote:
Most likely, if I did I would probably buy it even though my dislike of the story Chris' grotesque muscles. Quote:
Spoiler:
Quote:
And I never judged it, I'm just saying I've reached the conclusion that I won't be buying it since the bad outweighs the good at the moment. If I did indeed have a PS3, I would buy it. Just because it's Resident Evil. Holy crap guys, I'm uttering dislike of a few things, not damning the thing to hell. My humble apologies, it shall not happen again.:eye: |

I'll just leave that, since it was a stupid mistake. I did not play through the game, I didn't even play it much, just felt it out a bit. Just enough for it feel exactly like RE4. Also, what? The only thing I derived from the cut scenes is the story. Which ultimately took away all my motivation to get the game and play it somewhere that isn't home. Quote:
Which I already covered, in my first post. And your picture evidence furthers my opinion, I can't tell them to be the same person. Didn't want to argue man, not what I was going for. Sure is uptight in here. |
Quote:
As should be painfully clear by now, the story is stupid, but in a fun way (as has been the case with all the Resident Evil games), but more importantly the game itself is a lot of fun. Basing your purchasing decision on some cutscenes you watched on YouTube is downright stupid. Your status as a moron is confirmed right there. Quote:

I was wondering if anyone else did this exploit in the game(even though it's pointless to do past a point). Essentially I'm sure everyone is aware at this point that if you play with a counterpart online that if they disconnect while in a level they will leave behind a copy of their items on the sheva character.
What me and a friend had been doing is filling his(Sheva's) inventory with nine stacks of five regular grenades, and my inventory with nothing, going into the Marsh level and picking up the two gems at the start, then him disconnect and me taking all the grenades and going back into the menu. This would yield us roughly 11k each time we did it, plus 2k from the gems. Though, I recently found some golden eggs, which sell for 5k a stack. Just curious if anyone is abusing the game as much as we are. |
I'm pretty sure a majority of players are abusing the broken parts of this system to keep duplicating items.
Honestly can't say its broken though because obviously capcom would have caught something as simple as this |
Haha, yeah, I was told that if that were mentioned as a bug, they probably wouldn't fix it. So I guess it's understandable that they left it in.
Oh yeah, I was also wondering, for ingame points that you aquire when beating levels. I haven't tried it yet since I haven't been able to play the game with a friend recently(and there's no way in hell I'm playing through solo), but does the amount of points you get differ by difficulty? I know on Normal mode beating a level and getting an "S" ranking supplies you with 1,500 points. Just wondering if beating a level on Veteran or even Professional will yield even more points. Spoiler:

yeah I know about that duplicate items thing but its kind of a assle to have a friend going in a game and out for only money. If you really want to farm money, you can do the chaper 3-1. There's 12k worth of treasure without a single ennemy to encounter, so you don't waste any ammo and you can find all the treasures in less than 10min.
or if you have a lot of ammo or already have a inf ammo gun, you can do the chapter 5 (don't remember if it's 5-1 or 5-2) and there a corridor with lickers. If you kill them all, you get 5 lion hearts wich is 12,5k worth of money and there's a check point right in that corridor. So you can just quit after you kill them all, do a continue and you are right in front of the licker again. It take less than 5 min to kill them all, pretty easy and quit money. |

Am I the only person who played through the game and mercenaries mode legitimately to get all my weapons and upgrades? It's not even that LONG.

oh yeah I see that it give way more, I guess I was looking at it more for solo player.

Quote:
Just curious how can you play mercenaries mode illegitimately? The only gain there is the points you use for the bonus features, and unlockable characters for the mode. Both of which take effort, and teamwork, to earn anyway, since I don't know of any exploits for. Regarding Spoiler:

I'll post this question in spoiler:
Spoiler:
|
Yeah, boss fights (and those damn Reapers) are a cakewalk. I'm playing Professional Mode right now, but those damn 1-hit kills just annoy me.
|
Haha, yeah, my friend loves the rocketlauncher since it takes those damn Reapers out in one hit. I can't even count how many times he's been killed by getting too close to them. It's quite hilarious.
Actually, I finally died from one of them the other day, and was like, "Wow, that's the first time I've died from one." and he instantly chimes in, "No, you've died from them before, I don't know how many times, but you have." almost desperate sounding, I told him I wasn't sure of it, and he said he was sure. When I was checking my stats later, I remembered the comment, checked. That was the only time I had ever been killed by a Reaper. |
Anyone have a PS3 and wants to do the rotten egg trick/money making trick with me? I'm in the process of upgrading all my weapons and need some cash =p. PM me if you've got some spare time and want to help a poor defenseless guy like me out. Yeah...

I found that everytime to either get grab by an enemy r fall into the dying state, Chris saying "I'm not going to make it" is not enough and have to press O to request her help...

Bit random, but does anyone know how to get the full 3 hit combo between me and Sheva. Me and Sian have been fucking around with it and can't get it to work. Our pride hurts.
|
Quote:
The hit will send him towards the 2nd player and he/she will be prompt with another command, hit him again to send him back to player 1, and that should trigger the final hit This is something you should not attempt to do in a crowded area naturally. Also, because the hits deal alot of damage, its best to attempt this on Veteran mode |
Quote:
Pistol to the face. When it staggers, press the button on-screen. Then Sheva (or the one that controls her) then will act. Then you. Quote:
When the dying command appears, I just restart from the last checkpoint. If I'm right, the dying timer is about 1.5 seconds long so it's usually better to restart. My only two battles that frustrated me on Professional are the Ndesu and the first A/W fight. |
Quote:
And I don't agree, I think this is a legit add-on to the game and one most won't care about (versus in RE5 is just not going to work). I'd rather the game was released when it was, and was $5 less. But hey, that's just me. |
I am amused by the difficulty small devs have releasing patches for the service to fix or update shit, but I fucking love how easy it is for the major players to keep putting out content that doesn't fucking work, needs to be removed from the service, fixed, and put up again day later.
Look, if you're gonna have a really shitty, archiac and retarded "approval" system, make everyone follow it or just ditch it. |

Long time since anyone showed Resident Evil some love around here, I guess the game was short and once people got through it once it was forgotten.
YouTube - Resident Evil 5 - Alternative Edition - with Jill Valentine! - HQ - Penpas TV New version coming in March, kind of like a directors cut. Will feature the PS3 motion sensing control in addition to a bonus scenario with Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Basically capcoms way of saying "Yeah ok you were right, Sheva sucked we should of went with Jill". A little disappointed its not going to be DLC but rather a release in itself. But it looks reminscent of old school RE and will most certainly be better then any POS on rails shooter Wii game. |
Hopefully that extra chapter eventually comes out for PC, which is what I'm playing RE5 on. I'm a huge straight for Jill, so this interests me. The dildo controls I couldn't care less for, however.
The whole idea of holding the dildo in one hand and a Dual Shock in the other doesn't sound like it'll work. Just how many buttons are on the dildo anyway? Certainly not the 6 + start and analogue stick click that are on the remaining unattended side of the controller. The screens look so good, they really should just redo Resident Evil 1 with RE4 viewpoint. That, or finally redo Resident Evil 2, 3 and Code Veronica with REmake engine. For the Wii. |
I agree with Qwarky, A port for other consoles would be a good idea, Resident Evil 5 was okay, It was a good game.
But anything with Jill or Claire gets an instant win (And yes Even Degeneration) the screens looks so good, It kind of Looks like REmake but with the Resident Evil 4 gameplay. And yes Resident Evil 2, and 3 remake =D Edit: So is that gonna be like the Survivors Mini Game? Or like Ada's Sidestory? I'm sure they know that people will complain if they release the game on full price. |
Quote:
The game itself is based on the flashback sequence you saw in chapter 3-1 when Chris/Jill go after Spencer at his mansion/hideout. I am curious to see what kind of enemies they use since using BoW's wouldn't make sense in this situation. |
Chances are they will still probably still use BoWs, like a modified but weaker version of Mr X, I'm speculating here but that would be awesome =D
|
Hmm, I wonder whether this will be DLC for the 360. I hope so since that's the version I bought. It not then I guess I'll dipping again for this (good thing I didn't buy the first version for the PS3).
Heh, and I always wondered what it would have been like to have played that flashback, when first playing RE5. Did they mention if the flashback was going to be integrated into the main story (something they should have done the first time around)? Or will it be accessed from the main menu (the most likely event)? And down with blond Jill! And yes to a RE2 remake. |

Just as long as it doesn't require you to finish the game yet again, Then I'll purchase it

Well some news on the new "edition". I am not sure what they are calling it, I think its "Gold" but that could change for the NA release.
I don't feel like getting official links, but it seems they are including two chapters now. One previously mentioned mansion incident with Jill/Chirs(Pre re5). And Desperate Escape, which will feature Jill and Josh Stone escaping and eventually securing a helicopter to help Chris/Sheva. On one hand it sounds kind of blah, but after looking at screens that show different areas not previously seen instead of reguritated places we already saw in 5. Theres some decent screen caps out there somewhere, it looks to me like Capcom is going to try to capitilize on Jill Valentine's popularity (wasnt even aware she was that popular). I'll pick it up, hopefully they include stuff for Mercenaries so I am not bored with it within a day. |
It's Alternative Edition in Japan, and Gold Edition in NA (and I think Europe as well). And there is more Mercenaries content (called The Mercenaries Reunion, I believe), but so far all we know about it is that it just gives you new costumes/characters to use (some of which you have to buy in separate packs if you're going the DLC route). I imagine that's all the content it's going to be, since most of the other details have already been announced/leaked.
While it's just a bit more RE5, I'm still pretty excited for these two new episodes. RE5 was one of my favorite games from this year, so I'm glad that I'll be able to go back to the game (since I've already done everything the game has to offer currently). As long as the prices are cheap (they're only about $5 apiece in Japan, the only place where a price has been announced so far), I'll definitely jump on these day one. |
I was thinking of picking this up, especially since it's been getting some very positive preview and review type comments (and because RE5 was great fun and more Jill is no bad thing), but since a lot of the fun was playing it co-op I was wondering if anyone else was doing so. If other people are grabbing this I might well do so and blast through it with someone.
|
I bought it last night, so that's one person.
I'm not going to speak for him, but Tritoch did mention he was considering it as well. |
downloaded the new episode and patch but the new save patch 2.0 overlooks old saves and it's like i have to start all over! Anyone else having this problem because it's bullshit.
|
Quote:
My copy of the Alternate Edition arrived yesterday, its like the developers purposely made each epidode as homage to the two types of RE games. LiN was a throwback to the original game, even has an easter egg to play briefly using the fixed camera angles. The Jill/Josh epidode reminds me alot of RE4...the intensity is much bigger then anything in the original RE 5 game. |
