Resident Evil 5: Review (No Spoilers)

[rekojah]

I miss nemesis : (

[Zombievictim99]

Yeah I mean I did a review on 5 and it's a great game and all but if you think back to what the re games used to be, you really can't compare them cause they're soo different. It's like comparing apples and oranges, both fruit, but totally different.

[Zombievictim99]

Oh man. I'm gonna have to start playing that one. I actually have a copy of the gamecube one but never played it cause I beat 1 already and was working on 0 at the time.

[AlexanderArts]

0 was good, cool Idea with the two characters which they KIND OF brought back in 5, but I think 0's was much cooler because you had to think about where each character was to solve puzzles. Prepare for some super nostalgia vibes when you start playing RE1- haha!

[Zombievictim99]

Ohhh. I never played them. So they were the exact same? Thanks for the info. I only played them on ps1. Like I said I have the wii version of re1 and I plan on playing through that soon.

[AlexanderArts]

Yeah, RE1 was a remade with new graphics and more was added to the story and the area outside the mansion. It's really awesome honestly! It still looks great the character models and pre-rendered backgrounds look amazing, if it was HD I bet it would still hold up with this gen. It's one of the best remakes ever because the original is so outdated, but this one brings everything back and eliminates all the cheesy stuff.

[Zombievictim99]

They did remake 2 and 3 as well on the game cube but are really hard to find in stores and are quite a bit more than other gamecube games now. You can find them on amazon. I think they plan on releasing them for the wii as well.

[AlexanderArts]

Those are ports, not re-makes. They were exactly the same as the PS1 and N64 versions.

[RebornAleph]

@AlexanderArts I agree. The ending was very well placed, although the entire game itself felt somewhat lacking.

You're absolutely right - to someone who hasn't been a long-time fan or played the previous entries, the ending will not be nearly as surprising or satisfying.

Although, I have to admit. I did not want to accept that you-know-who gets you-know-what. After all the stuff that happened with you-know-who in the previous games, it's sort of surprising that they just end up doing that.

[Zombievictim99]

Re5 was one of the better games but I would love to see a re like the older ones. Re0 was the last cinematic re I played and it was great. I have re1 for the wii but I haven't played it yet.

[AlexanderArts]

The RE1 remake for Gamecube was really an amazing game. I wish they had remade RE2 as well, but I doubt that will happen now that they are onto the RE4 style now.

[treyart1]

RE5 sucks monkey terds. RE4 was exceptional but the game with the over the shoulder view for me really sucks. Its no longer cinematic and no longer survival. I felt like I was playing a action arcade shooter game. In my opinion the RE series has not been the same since Code Veronica. If you guys like it then hey thats your taste but not mine. Peace!

[AlexanderArts]

Yeah, I prefer the old style I think... Dead Space is fun though I think.

[treyart1]

Dead Space was pretty cool. The over shoulder view works with that title. But not Resident Evil! :(

[plants1147]

leon would kick chris's ass

[xxnewyorkxx1]

nice review whats your gamertag bro and wat games u usualy play?

[AlexanderArts]

oh, I have PS3 only tho

[defectedsound]

I havent played this game since the PS2 lol. I might get it on xbox 360 though.

[ELBORRACHO86]

RE3:N had insane tough puzzles.

[DeformedSeaBass]

dude you have to go RE 5 over dead space for one , dead space is EA...and all EA games are rushed and not built up to scratch where as resident evil 5 is a resident evil game made by capcom honestly name one bad resident evil game ( excluding the light gun titles because they do infact suck purely because they were not developed by capcom )

[AlexanderArts]

Well Dead Space is an exception, it's a really great title. The ONLY thing holding RE5 over dead space is the REALLY fun multi-player and the way it gets you to enjoy re-playing the same levels over and over.

[brayangta4]

which is beter to buy Resident Evil 5 or dead space

[bookiedogg]

re5

[FrostfoxFilms]

Dead Space

[bookiedogg]

but dead space is scary

re5 is more action packed

[crisgia]

re5 for pure action but dead space if you wanna get scared

[FRYKYMEN2]

re 5 have onlive lol

[NickAdvent]

awesome shirt!

[AlexanderArts]

Haha - thanks!

[eitanyn]

if you dont mind me asking, why do u live in tiawan? im curious. not joking around

[AlexanderArts]

I live in Taiwan because I was bored in America and decided to move here. Very cool, convenient, fun, and so on.

[eitanyn]

bored in america!? have you ever been to NY? i just think taiwan is a very interesting (and unusual) choice.

[AlexanderArts]

No offense but I've been to NY, I don't really like it, not my style. Taiwan tho seems to suit me well.

[encodedpr]

Solid game,great action,but it was very much like RE4,and RE4 is better...still,solid storyline,impressive graphics and great action....but,they should go back to one player survival,no ammo,edge of your seat scary tense game.

[craigwb9]

did u know that capcom have allready started making RE6?

[AlexanderArts]

Capcom usually has 2 going at once so I wouldn't be surprised.

[Orsiepompom]

great review

just subbed :D

[AlexanderArts]

Thank you very much!

[misledlestat]

Friste play through im doing it on my own.

Cuzz I hate co-op the friste time through.Reason being is the other person usealy alreay has beat it.Thier for they gave out alot of spoilers,

[AlexanderArts]

Well I played the whole thing in co-op with my buddy so we saw everything together for the first time, was really way better than single player, Sheva's AI leaves a lot to be desired.

[kbi35]

You are cool.

[CoD4Disturbed]

Nice review, dude!

[AlexanderArts]

Thanks!

[icky2049]

there was spoilers you started to say were we went like first you go to a village then a castle then i stopped watching

[AlexanderArts]

If you were listening you would know I was talking about RE4, not RE5. I urge you to try again.

[cstrikeps3cod4]

he was talking about re4

[ththla]

[jeezjuly]

[FrostfoxFilms]

[kruxeri]

Great video man! How long did it take you to beat the game on your first playthrough? Is it longer than RE4?

[Zinobius]

its 16 missions and like 12 hours on the easiest difficulty

[n00bzauce]

[Iconbuster57]

Hey is the co op online only?

[AlexanderArts]

Nope, you can play local split screen too.

[ghost2ber]

Cool vid.  Getting my pre-order tomorrow. Look forward to see how well the co-op works.

[Kaotic901]

np man keep the reviews coming lol

[GamMan93]

Nice review. Do your weapons and upgrades carry over if you choose to play through again?

[coreybaumiller]

well beat the game you will find out

[GamMan93]

Well considering that was a month ago i didnt have the game at the time. And wouldnt hurt to ask a simple question.

But now i have the game and ive beat it 4 times. Great game.

[PaladinCon]

it comes out for me on Friday the 13th...Ironically? I THINK NOT!

[CoD4Disturbed]

How long did it take you to beat the game on your first playthrough? Is it longer than RE4?

[axellness]

It's gay how multiplayer will cost 4 bucks.

[AlexanderArts]

Why would it cost $4? It's free.

[naruhearts1]

hes talking about the 'Versus' DLC not the co-op story. and the Multi-player Survival mode.

[jebeschrist]

not free, ps3fanboy and capcom announced psn 4.99 and 400 pts for markeplace and it should come some time next week or so since the trophies are already down. DAMN CAPCOM ALWAYS MAKING US COME BACK FOR MORE

[naruhearts1]

$5 :c (i checked)
