Looks as beautiful as ever. But what's with all the white zombies? I really wish Capcom hadn't buckled under all that racism BS. Doesn't quite feel like Africa now. More like South Africa. Or something else altogether.

Mmmm... Looks sexual. lol
My only niggles are as follows;
Why have they made Chris look so unrealistical with Hulk-like arms? See this: http://www.gamersyde.com/pop_image.html?G=9500&N=1...
Does this Sheva girl follow you everywhere or is this simply for co-op?

Going back to what someone else stated, while I loved Resi 4 I'd also liket to see a traditional Resi style game. By that I mean with the focus on horror and survival rather than over the shoulder action/shooter.

Never been in a gym or haven't seen any college athletes I take it? Otherwise, you wouldn't think he looks unrealistic.

i cant understand why are you complaining about shadows in the games who the fuck cares about shadows ?? i dont care... when i play some games on PC I always turn shadows tothe lowest quality... you dont see the difference in the gameplay... so i would pick better textures then fucking smooth shadows... shadow my ass

...have you SEEN the Gears shadows? Or the Assassin's Creed ones... or the DMC4 ones? It's not just that they're simple, they ****ing flicker all over the place like tv static. It's dreadful and would look better if they'd used some PSX/N64 shadow system instead.

I have to agree that Chris looks like a goddamn steroid pusher, but then again...who the feck cares? The girl looks like a supermodel, yet there's no bitching there.

Looks sweet at any rate, and co-op just makes the deal even sweeter. I'm approaching diabetes here. But yeah, i can imagine quite a few hours of coop fun with a friend in this one.

Damn! If REAL black women looked that good.... She must only be half black. That is very racist of Capcom. Aren't they already under enough heat over this?

I agree with that, Capcom have totally screwed this series up as far as the original concept goes.

Capcom haven't screwed up anything, who cares about originals concepts, the original concept was a fixed camera and crappy controls... and besides, things have to be revamped sooner or later, otherwise the series starts becoming stale.

Well, the original concept was a survival-horror game. You can hardly call it that now... :|

Capcom felt pressured to appeal more to Western audiences. So it's all roided-up he-men, blood, guts, and boo!gotcha! scares...

And before we had the same only you had to use the rooster key, crank stuff and run around with emblems, pestered with slow controls and fixed camera angles.

Yes RE4 clearly represents a change of pace, but it's for the better if you ask me. And a lot of other people since RE 4 did incredibly well. All versions, save the PC port, have over 90 on meta critic.

Well some say survival-Horror means getting by on just a little bit of ammo/medikits, etc... that was okay back in the early games when there were very few enemies, but now there are 20+ enemies coming at you at a time, so having very few ammo just wouldn't suffice.. you would most likely just be dodging or running from them most of the time.. and to be honest, I don't think I would want it to go back to the slower pace of killing off 1 or 2 zombies every now & then.. I still think it's survival-horror.

Nothing much new except the creator said there is a new mode that they are keeping as a secret, the question was "any sort of a online multiplayer".

But seeing this game in motion (gameplay) and having online co-op, it will be so fun.

RE5 is a 3rd-person schmup (shoot-em-up) with "horror elements." I mean, I don't think you'd call a game like Dark Sector a survival-horror game. There are parts of the game that are scary obviously, but it's not the pervasive kind of dread that you'd feel in games like Silent Hill, Siren, Fatal Frame, Clock Tower...

Remember that part in Silent Hill 2, where you're running from Pyramid Head in that long hallway or your other confrontations with PH... it wasn't about having the right weapon and enough ammo. Indeed, in your last encounter with PH ***SPOILER WARNING*** he basically just gives up. ***END SPOILER***

The new Resident Evil is more like a panic shooter to me.
You are outnumbered, you need to think and act fast, you are on the run and you got plenty of ammunition. Now they even give you a partner.
Capcom tries to get the player in a state of panic. It still is frightening (at least sometimes) but in a different matter than the old ones.

The old ones were subtly horror, suggestive. You felt threatened even without direct cause. They were using classic elements like you being alone, dark or lonely areas and low ammunition which puts you under stress.

I still like the old style. It was awesome to play the remake of the first Resident Evil on the GameCube as it was on the PSX so many years ago. I really enjoyed that.
I didn’t really like RE4 and couldn’t get myself to finish it. I’m not saying it was bad from a quality point of view, I just didn’t like it. I didn’t like Zero as well and thats an old style one.

Nonetheless I’m looking forward to this one as they changed the controls scheme to match the new focus on action, as Africa is still a fresh setting and with Chris they partly return to the Character set I prefer.

Control methods and fixed cameras were only what the consoles could manage back then, I'm not saying they shouldn't of chanaged but should have kept the same horror feel and deffinately kept zombies instead of mutant humans.

The only thing that makes this game a RE game now is the inclusion of Chris Redfield and Umbrella Corp IMO.

This is Resident Evil now, it's time to let go of the past. Games need to evolve to stay fresh and continue to make money.
I know I wouldn't want to be creating the same game with updated graphics.
