Lynk Former Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 http://www.twilightlynk.com/2009/01/31/game-spotlight-resident-evil-5-demo/ Jeff and I wrote up our thoughts about the demo of RE5 for the 360 What did ya'll think?
Jeff Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Yeah I won't post my thoughts here since I already did over there, but who else is looking forward to this game as much as Lynk and I are?
Ctrl Alt Del Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I'm looking forward since the first trailer was demonstrated, even without the demo (damned LIVE!). Any significant details revealed by the demo? Btw, I'd love a co-op with split-screen.

Btw, I'd love a co-op with split-screen.No, there are a couple short cutscenes in the demo but they do not give a single bit of story away, it's all just killing the villagers.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Heh, quite expected, Moel. But what about the gameplay? It doesn't matter how many reviews I read, they don't go much deep on the gameplay aspect of the game. Is it still pretty much the same as in RE4?
GeneralPloKoon Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Yeah the gameplay is much like RE4. But I didn't like the RE5 demo very much at all, the daytime setting was very un-resident evilish and I didn't like the camera angles at all. I loved RE4 though...
Lynk Former Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Click the link and read through the blog post and the comment... We've gone pretty in depth with everything that's in the demo. If you have a question about RE5, it's probably already been answered within the blog entry and comments
Rogue Nine Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 There hasn't been a real Resident Evil title since RE0 on the GC.
Lynk Former Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 There hasn't been a real Resident Evil title since RE0 on the GC. You can't deny Leon's awesomeness.
Rogue Nine Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 You can't deny Leon's awesomeness. Yes I can. And what the hell is up with Chris' arms? Has he been roiding it up since Code Veronica? I mean come on, look at those guns: They're bigger than his head!
Lynk Former Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 Yes I can. Don't lie And what the hell is up with Chris' arms? Has he been roiding it up since Code Veronica? I mean come on, look at those guns: They're bigger than his head! That's pretty much exactly what I said when the first images came out of the trailer where you first get to see him clearly. XD
Rogue Nine Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I hope they keep the Boobie Locator in the final game, it really is the best feature.
Serpentine Cougar Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 They're bigger than his head! Isn't that just because of the angle of the shot?
Serpentine Cougar Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Okay, point taken. Yikes, but that last one is scary. His muscles might be scarier than the zombies in this game...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 And what the hell is up with Chris' arms? Has he been roiding it up since Code Veronica? I mean come on, look at those guns: They're bigger than his head! Since they decided to make Leon more of man on RE4, then why not with Chris? It looks like he can actually survive a swarm of zombies now. He's not the franchise good boy anymore. And I want whatever steroids he has been taking.
Mav Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 And I want whatever steroids he has been taking.You sure about that? I mean if they made his arms grow that much, just think about how much they shrunk his junk...

Animal hormones makes you less of a man... ...plus I don't think you'd like the side effects XD

Jeff Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Is Resident Evil 5 Racist? NO! I think this is so ridiculous, at least in the demo there are just as many white people as blacks, and I think that is just silly. There are no white people in African villages. I didn't hear any complains when Leon was killing Spaniard after Spaniard in RE4.
Mav Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Yea, people were complaining about that way back when the first trailers for RE5 were shown so they changed it. I concur that it is retarded, it's not like the zombies were black for no reason, geographically now the game is retarded for having so many white zombies. It isn't really a knock on the game though, more so on the people that complain about stupid things.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 ^ ^^ It's no-go situation, though. If all zombies were white to begin with, Capcom would get complaints that they were making a game without enough verisimilitude, and, somehow, the racism card would be played.
Lynk Former Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 No one had a problem killing all Caucasian zombies in the first Resident Evil... or the fact that Raccoon City was nuked and we don't actually know how many uninfected there were who died there. Kill all the white people you want, kill all the Spaniards you want, but oh no... a black zombie? SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!
Ctrl Alt Del Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I'm loving it so far. Great action as in RE4, Dramatic camera angles and dialogues cheesy as ever! I'm feeling in home. I've tested the solo and the splitscreen co-op mode and, although the screen gets way reduced - even on a fairly big LCD screen - it still works like a swiss clock.
Jeff Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Lynk and I beat the game tonight (on Veteran mode no less ). Probably not as good as 4, but it was still great fun. There were a ton of obvious assets borrowed from 4 like sound effects and some animations. And then a few things that seemed to take a step backwards, like the chainsaw dude who took longer to kill in 5 but was still much easier as you can just run past him (I noted this about the demo but was hoping it'd be harder in the real game, especially on veteran). But I loved how much Wesker is in the game as he is such an awesome villain and overall the story was very good and for me it lived up to the hype.
