Resident Evil 5 Comments by Kristan Reed

'If it's better than 4 we will be happy' and so say all of us

I called the control remap, way back when, and purists had a go at me.
if you can remap the aiming to the right stick, and movement to the left, then i am sold.

at least i don't have to unlearn the controls that have been burned into my brain from every other game.

now all they have to do is add this type of control system to dead rising 2, and i believe capcom will be on to multiple winners.

"so diehard fans needn't panic."

I do hope your not serious EG!

"Happily, he also says he would personally be up for going back and remaking some of the older Resident Evil classics, given the opportunity: "If we had the chance to go back and remake Resident Evil 2..."

I tell you what Capcom, announce this (along with some more traditional RE titles) before RE5 ships and I'll 100% spend cash on your arcade shooter!

/ waits wallet in hand....

Firstly, good interview. I enjoy the humbleness of the Japanese.

Secondly, colour me interested now.

I'd love to play a demo beforehand to see if I'm happy with the controls and just to get a feel for the game.

Yeah I think the series has advanced enough gameplay wise that a remake of 1 or 2 would be well in order. The setting for 2 was most excellent and with today's technology could be ramped up to include some more spectacular city-scapes and some running hordes of zombies!

I'll still be using traditional controls, but it's nice to see the new scheme is an option.

Not that anyone needs to talk this game up to me, I'd buy it if it got 1/10 across the board, it cost £100, if you bought it the producer cut off one of your legs, and it could only be bought from 1 shop on the Isle of Man.

I want Resi 2 remake now. By far the best of the series.
We need to go back to Raccoon city and forget all this tomfoolery.

I will still buy and play this or course.

+1 for the RE2 remake! One of my all time favourite games!

I don't get the Resi 2 love. Certainly it's an amazing game, but why is it so much better than the others? What makes it so revered?

Of the 'originals' Resi 1 is definitely my favourite.

Checkpoints rather than typewriters appeals to me, save points has been the single weakness of the otherwise excellent franchise IMO.

Guys, please stop these nonsense about "dreaded HD installs". I recently swapped a 320 GB drive into my PS3 which cost me a few dozen euros and a few minutes of my time, and I *welcome* HD installs. I welcome everything that cuts down loading times *while I actually play*.

ah, Dead Space out resident evilled it in my humble, and wildly silly, opinion....

Played left 4 dead demo last night. think that will take care of my zombie shooting impluses for a while.

What's the word on the awful QTEs? Please tell me they've ditched them altogether.

Nope, QTEs are still there. In almost every respect (bar the co-op stuff) it plays like RE4.

I've never understood the love for Res Evil. To me the whole experience is ruined by the control system. I know some people will argue that it creates more tension whilst playing but that is just a cheat system to me. I enjoyed Res 4 to a certain extent (mainly the first levels outside) but again the control system held it back from being a great game for me.

I used to play the original AiTD games on the PC way back when and really enjoyed them but damn games have come a long way since then and I for one think Res games need to catch up.

Anywho, I'm glad that they are making changes to the system for Res 5. I'm hoping this will make me like it as much as everyone else seems to.

Dead Space is very similar too RE4 and its my favourite singleplayer game this year. Im guessing RE5 will be my GOTY next year.

The QTEs in RE4 was actually very good and challenging opposed to most QTEs these days. According too many reviews back when the game was released the QTEs was great and revolutionary.

+ 100

@HolyJebus
That is exactly the reason I love the Resident Evil games. If they had went the way of many other titles they would'nt be Resident evil games, just another FPS or 3rd person shooting game with zombies. The way Resident evil 0 - CV controlled were great. The Res 4 - 5 contros are an evolution of those but still stay rooted in Res tradition.
I personally would hate if a jump button was added to Res, along with twitch rightstick camera movement, plenty of ammo, headshots, shooting while running, strafing etc.... thats why Call Of Duty, GOW, Res4, Halo and many others are here. Variety is the spice of life.
:0)

REMAKES??? wowsers... the Res1 remake for the cube was Fu*king amazing, Please do 2-CV. I would happily trade in my lefticle for those :oD

What I wouldn't give for a huge XBLA Resi collection to download. Oh man oh man oh man

(I can dream)

I think i just wet myself by reading the interview and looking at the pictures....cant wait for march!!!!

No DLC for the love of God!!

I'll be damned if I'm paying E5 for Mercenaries or extra characters, just put everything on the disc from day 1, and let us unlock them ourselves through gameplay!!

I liked the typewriter system. Especially in Resident Evil 4, when you didn't need an ink ribbon to save. Why the fuck are we going to checkpoints now? I hate checkpoints! I enjoyed Resident Evil 4, but not as much as the older, slower ones. Also, I hate QTEs. And I hate Christmas too! Bah Humbug!

If they could release the old ones over Live or something, then I'd be in! And I'd love to see remakes of the older ones too. Or if not, can't we at least have a port of the Resident Evil 1 Remake that came out for the GameCube? That was great!

I'd say they should remake Resi 3. But that game was so damn awesome, it doesn't really even need remaking.

Perhaps just update the graphics a little and release it on XBLA. And PC, preferably, but that's just a pipedream.

WANT.

/also wants all remakes, too (harder, longer, tougher, nicer :)

Here's what just happened:

"Happily, he also says he would personally be up for going back and remaking some of the older Resident Evil classics, given the opportunity:"
*gets wood*

"If we had the chance to go back and remake Resident Evil 2"
*cums*

"It's certainly something we would like to consider and think about, but, quite frankly our hands are full with Resident Evil 5 right now"
RE2 remake has been wanted by the true Resi fans for years. Fuck Resi 5 if there's the possibility of that. And the thought of a 3 remake with a HD Nemesis would truly help me forget about the atrocious things that were done to him by Paul Anderson.

I am sort of getting worried about the danger of conformity regarding Resi 5, but I just think about how Capcom always come through and deliver some of the greatest games. They are a company I trust to make games. Let's just hope I'm not eating my words in a few months' time.

Very true tobsen, I'm sick of this "dreaded HD installs" talk!
