And Also being alone is one of the most good things they screwed up on RE5, And also the idea is to survive Dead-living zombies not monsters who ride bikes are F*****G kidding me.

Nice, Really Great, I coudn’t agree more with you, and one more thing, on the computer version the mouse view really sucks ass, you can’t cosntrate on the target the mouse keep rotating around.

Yeah I agree with the points raised in the video. I think the main thing to remember is that Shinji Mikami was not involved, and that’s why they screwed up so bad. I fear for RE6 because of the same reason, but we will see what they do. I enjoyed your suggestion about action and survival modes, I made a similar point a while ago. But the survival mode still should not be the same as how RE5 played. Regarding an AI partner – I think they need to get rid of that altogether, or at least make it entirely optional. For me it ruined the atmosphere of a game where you are supposed to be caustrophobic and lonely, and instead you had a hot chick by your side most of the time, totally changed how it felt, and it felt like hairy balls

Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I find it ridiculous what Capcom is doing to this amazing series. I mean, RE used to be a survival horror, like other zombie games (like Left 4 Dead and Dead Island), I mean, you had the feeling that you were on your own, alone against a zombified world, where all that used to mattered was surviving, now, the feeling I honestly get is that some kind of Anti-Zombie specialized army is sent by the government to fight an intelligent zombie society that plans to take over the world. Like a war, for example? I mean, WTF? Zombie games are NOT supposed to be wars. They are supposed to be you against the zombies, fighting only, and ONLY for survival. It’s what RE used to be. Honestly, RE died after 4. RE 4 was the last great one. RE 5 is not bad, but if I say it didn’t disappoint me, I will be telling a big, HUGE lie.

I completely agree, I remember watching my cousin play the original Resident Evil series as a child and it gave me nightmares on and off for years after, as hilarious as that may sound to others, even to me. But I believe that the Resident Evil series has started to die from the make Resident Evil 4 in my opinion and it’s a damn shame. Even Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City looks like it could be an aborted baby between ‘Resident Evil’ and Call of Duty which, honestly, absolutely sickens me to show how desperate Capcom may have become but this isn’t the only franchise they’re messing up, they’re also messing up the hard worked on Devil May Cry series, which I am a big fan of, by allowing Ninja Theory to practically take all the work they have done on it, screw it up and throw it in the bin by changing both the character, story behind him as well as the gameplay AND graphics which I have noticed, alot of the fans absolutely despise. It is simply sounding like Capcom don’t care anymore about some of their biggest franchises which in the end of the day, is going to cost them money when the gamers eventually stop paying out money for them or less money anyway. I am unsure what to even THINK of Capcom in the current situations and ‘games’ they’re throwing out to their much loyal fans and assume that they will eventually go down hill to the point of Capcom possibly closing down if they continue to ignore their fans and put out the kind of crap they have been doing.

Personally I believe that RE should go back to it’s old style; the fixed camera, claustrophobia educing, jump scare ridden style. I know, modern gamers would probably slap me upside the head for even suggesting this but I personally think that these elements made Resident Evil… well, Resident Evil. The old RE games was designed to give players a sense of looming terror (RE3 took the cake on this one). For example, in RE3 you are in an alley way; close together and not a lot of space to move around. Your low on ammo and have only a few herbs to keep you going. You’re constantly telling the game, “Please don’t let him show up, please don’t let him show up.” And them, BAM! Nemesis shows up. Now that is true terror. RE5 took this out almost completely. You know where enemies are, they aren’t that intimidating, let alone horrific. You can pretty much mow down your enemies with ease, and some of the weapons are too overpowered. In previous RE games, players didn’t have the luxury of getting their hands on over powered weapons, and when they did, there was very little ammo for it. The one thing that I am willing to give RE5 is the “Lost in Nightmares” DLC. This DLC came close to reenacting the sense of looming terror like the old RE had. They even went as far as to giving you only a handgun and then later taking it away from you. And you have these enemies constantly hunting you down. So I would say that “Lost in Nightmares” would be the only good thing about RE (For me at least). But other than that, it’s just not the Resident Evil I love.

i think RE series have died right after RE4 and in the release of RE5 back in RE4 leon used to work all by him self and it’s like in real life some parts in the game require two person to get pass it but wow!! all parts in RE5 needs two persons all of a sudden even weak doors needed two peopls to knock it open ??
never liked the bonuses that you unlock in RE5.
never liked the stupid partner system.
never liked the stupid dying system they are copying gears of war series with that now??.
never liked the online especially the versus ” never bought them because i got the gold edition ” anyway the online is so slow you press the buttons and wait for the commands to shows in the game well that’s happens with me plus even though i got the platinum trophy for RE5 but i never collect all the stupid online trophy for it it’s way too hard to get them.
for a new RE game actually i’m not existed about it all i wished for is that capcom will just remake the classic RE games with the current gen graphics well like they did for the gamecube RE 1 remake and RE zero remake sure RE zero is not the best but the classic RE games are the RE games we need to play those are the real survival horror RE games.
