Whaaaat...

How is it resident evil if it plays like GoW. This is blasphemy. Bring back the old Resi.

Indeed, they might aswel change the the games name to 'Kill crazy african guys' it's so far away from the style of the original resi's

I'll still be picking it up but with every new video/bit of info i find myself more and more dissapointed.

I really don't want RESI 5 to be run and gun. Not being able to move while shooting adds tension to the game.

WTF !

This game has no need for a cover system.

True, unless the zombies have guns and start using swat tactics then you might want to duck for cover.

Finally they're going to put some proper controls in. I like to be able to aim my guns while moving.

Kinda defeats the purpose of resident evil. Not being able to move while shooting wasn't something they couldn't do, it was by design. Maybe if you move slow while shooting can still make it feel tense, will have to see the new footage at TGS.

oh well another game series gone to pot, never did like RE4 either i'm afraid, i prefer the old school RE, more tension better zombies, none of these super human run 100 meters in less than 10sec zombies. Also not liking the whole co-op thing either, where's the tension if you have a co-op partner covering your back.

Yeah but it was by poor design imo, its about time they joined modern times. Its just frustrating when a game doesn't let you do simple things like that.

Good - will make the game much better, considering how many enermies there are.

Nanoman · 2 Sep 2008 at 14:24

Its not Resident Evil anymore!

They should just HD 2 and then call it a day. Gears like controls wtf!!

cannot wait for this game

Robert1986 · 3 Oct 2008 at 10:40

The typewriter save function has been removed for RESI 5.

They're putting in checkpoints now. Kinda lame.

Soulja · 3 Oct 2008 at 10:46

Jeez, is there on chris now that links it to Resident Evil?

KittensCake · 3 Oct 2008 at 11:21

omfg

Give back the old resi! This seems like an attempt to capitalise on the popularity of 3rd person action shooters like GoW.

Its a shame when games have to "keep up with the times" to sell these days. Resident Evil 5 is no longer in the survival horror genre, its in the action/co-op genre. I'll still play it and probably enjoy it a lot, just don't like the changes that much.

The typewriter save function is what added so much tension to the game, its a shame it'll no longer be used. Oh well, things change.

Totally agree, I've always said this since RE4 came out that it is moving away from its roots, which is a shame as the old resi's were awesome, I prefered the storyline back then and it was nice to have what res evil was all about....Zombies!

TGS UPDATE

You can now move while shooting in RESIEDENT EVIL 5. However, you can only strafe left and right, no jumping around like in Gears. Slow moving left or right while shooting. I'm happy with that.

Also..... (HUGE SPOILER IN LINK. When I mean huge, I mean huge. That is if you're a resident evil nut.)

Wow that is huge, hope it's not true or the person faked it.
