Resident Evil 4 and 5 both took 5 years to make, with RE4 going through many versions, one of which became Devil May Cry, the difference is that in the case of 5, there was no Shinji Mikami in charge. The series has become much more conservative since Mikami left. Mikami's RE5 would likely have been hugely different from RE4.
Auto save in a Resident Evil game is just wrong, it takes away one of RE's most genius elements, the typewriters. RE0 had a much better partner system, imagine RE0 with co-op. You'd really have to co-operate with each other to get through sections of the game and manage inventory.
Mikami was bold with RE4 in doing something new, and without his presence Capcom played safe. RE4 is very different to its predecessors but still feels like RE, whereas RE5 feels like a generic action shooter.
I still prefer Outbreak for co-op Resident Evil. I had problems with lag and unresponsive controls, but the concept is great. It was basically Left 4 Dead before L4D was ever conceived. A party of four people fighting a zombie outbreak with limited weaponry. It forced players to cooperate. You could board up doors, swap items. I think it needs a re-release on XBL Arcade or PSN with some touch-ups here and there. I'd buy it right away.
Something that really bothered me about RE5 is how they completely bombed the storyline. It's like they went from RE1-RE5 when in actuality that's not what happened at all. The events of RE3 are unmentioned and Code Veronica which bothers me the most because that's where they find out Wesker's still alive. This game's storyline blows. They should get Mikami back for RE6.
I really hope when they mention making resident evil series a reboot. They didn't mean that they are going to make it so Alice could be the main character of the games and completely make the games based of that stupid ass movie that Paul Fucking Anderson did. Sort of how Silent Hill games are now based off of the movie.
Like it or Not its all Cannon! Sheva was kinda stupid tho! Its ok tho I enjoyed the game tho! And there arent any plot holes to me! I just hate that Leon didnt make a cameo! Cuz lets face it he was alone in 4 and stood his ground against countless foes !
I think they really did put a lot of effort in the game, but it had so much potential to be better. The story kept me there, which was better than RE4's and the most involving plot of any RE game. My sentence review would be: "Great game, but could have been more".
Uh guys, you ever think of a time where a game that felt like RE should be here by now, something like oh I don't know what Capcom could... Resident Evil 4 early version!
Granted there wasn't any zombies and it was a bit Silent Hill-ish in production but my god the whole concept of that game was amazing and if it was a bit of Zombies here and there then Capcom wouldn't be a bunch of dicks in the first place. Nougie, next time listen to ThatEnglishDude more cause hes awesome.
btw i agree with you guys. resident evil is NOT survival horror anymore. Capcom needs to make sure their fans of olde get a decent addition to the series. i didnt even bother to buy resident evil 5, which is a shame because i can beat all the first 3 in under 2 hours (on a good day). In fact, if the next ones anything like 4 and 5 im just going to write off the series as a whole and move on.its a shame people dont get to see the same resident evil that we grew up with.
you guys should get outbreak if you have a ps2 still, that one was a blast on multiplayer if you got everyone in the same room. dunno if the servers are still up tho...
Personally I liked RE 5 as a game, but I didn't like how it fit in with the whole series. It just really didn't feel like a RE game to me which was disappointing. Hopefully in the future I'd like to see HORROR get brought back to the series and maybe even bring back the camera angles like of the classics. And of course they gotta bring back the ZOMBIES! Thats a must!!!!
@ky22992 i agree with everythin your sayin ,, its good to see that somone thinks the same as me ,, resi 5 pissed me off alot , there was 1 thing that i really didnt understand , chris was quite skinny in code veronica & the rest of the resi games , fuck knows how he got ripped & was able to punch a huge rock that was ridiculas , and at the end it looks like somthin outta star wars ,, when i played that game i felt like it wasnt a resi game.
I liked the series better when it was about flesh eating zombies, now it's just a virus that makes people want to cut your head off with a chainsaw.....
gota be honest and i hate to admit but silent hill is more horror than resident evil now. Capcom either need to come up with a new horror game or they need to bring resident evil back to it's roots
@schoonovere yeh same here i can't say i liked the view in the old games and i love the new view in the games 4 and 5 how ever i still believe resident evil the whole old feel to it was better i dunno what made it seem so scary i think it was the music and the dark area's we just don't see tht in any of the new games now. i remeber having a large tv with loud volume i was like 6 and then the dog jumped through the window and believe me i shat my pants xD i thought zombies were the only ones xD
lets rant resident evil 5? more like lets bitch about reisdent evil 5! this fucking rant and the other rants FAIL im unsibrscribing your becoming lame jack since you finished abes odessy you started to suck badly hell your even starting to be an ass -_- im unsibrscribing
Nice rant Nouge. Glad to finally hear what you liked and didn't liked about Resident Evil 5. Also I agree with you and your friend Jack about Capcom. They really do need to stop re-releasing games that people already own.
I laughed at the Uncharted 2 disscusion when Jack(T.E.D) wanted to talk but Nougie disrupted him. That happened like 3 times and I laughed a little. Other than that, RE5 was no great of a game for the RE series. I mean, it toke some elements from the 4th one, where the enemies aren't zombies, their diseased monsters. Also that their both third-person shooters, which RE5 took from RE4. RE4 was a great game(played it on the Wii, awsome), but RE5...well...was no good of a game. Nougie and TED ROCK!
i dont think resi5 should of been set in africa. i think it should of been set in the raccoon city ruins or along the lines of that. and i also think the zombies should of been in it. the uroburos and las plagas are cool and all but zombies kick ass! but i do love wesker he is so badass. he should not be changed
I wanna hear an hour long rant on chris punching the boulder into the lava. Ok maybe not an hour but maybe just a 5 minute long video talking about how fucking retarted that was.
i think the main problem is that both games have seriously changed from horror. sure there are cheap scares in both games, but in my opinion both games are more run and gun, and i say this because i've managed to beat 4 and 5 on professional doing this. i'll admit that i may be wrong, but opinions of friends and you guys suggest this could be the case.
no im pretty sure all true Resi fans will agree one hundred percent with you capcom just should have stuck with survival horror.. they are just milikng the series for all its worth
@c0nn3reveland hence why i believe they sud come up with a new series perhaps to challenge silent hill in the paranormal way like resident evil 3.5 resident evil 5 day time what the fuck were they thinking we are scared of the dark because we don't know what lerks in it we know full well what is in the day to fucking easy
@JustinTheChallenger i Agree with you on all of that, the whole daytime idea was a crock of horseshit, i didnt jump or even get remotely scared is resi 5, but i do wish, like you said, make a new series like paranormal stuff like that, it would be scarier than a crowd of niggers and chinese people with fucking glass bottles <_<
@kieron97 wht made me laugh was i cud never complete resident evil 2 or 3 but as soon as i come on 4 and 5 i can do em on the hardest difficulty with ease.

Sheva is a stupid bitch who doesn't know how to fuck zombies up with a blade and just keeps using ammo up.
Auto save sucks royal ass not only on this game but in every game I have played.
Story is lame.
All the controls are fucking unnatural.
This kind of shit is why I don't pay for games until I play them.
