First Impressions - Resident Evil 5 PS3 Demo

[derp12347]

Shooters suck on consoles.Get it for the pc.

[derp12347]

You have a night vision camera? That's so cool!

[TheeMonkeyGirl]

subscribed you should put more reactions when playing a game

[eq2sfuzack]

I agree that the game was not scary at all, but I did have a blast playing the story co-op with a buddy.

[sulldatenderizer]

they dont have that demo anymore at ps store

[sulldatenderizer]

they dont have that demo anymore at ps store

[MrPIDAY1]

hav u dun ny vids on hevy rain

P.S SUBSCRIBED!!!

[MultiAnimaniac]

i always see you do it but what is y axis?

[Zaranyzerak]

@MultiAnimaniac Y Axis (vertical) - looking up and down. X Axis (horizontal) - looking side to side. Guessing you haven't started Geometry yet?

[MultiAnimaniac]

@Zaranyzerak no i mean why do you invert it?

[Zaranyzerak]

@MultiAnimaniac Because I find it more comfortable inverted, more like how we actually look up and down. I find non-inverted very awkward and unnatural.

[akkadianno]

I like your videos, but you have to admit it men, YOU SUCK!! really, you really suck men, greetings.

[Zaranyzerak]

@akkadianno And yet another person completely misses the point of a First Impressions video.  I'm sure you were just AMAZING for the first ten minutes you played. Not.

[akkadianno]

@Zaranyzerak Sure men, I konw what´s the point of a First Impression, you have never play it before. . But, it doesn´t mean that you have tu SUCK!, I mean you are playing like you never had a controler in your hands before, thats what I mean. Greetings, i like you but you SUCK.

[Zaranyzerak]

@akkadianno No, the controls of this GAME suck hence why *I* sucked my first time playing it. Again, you obviously don't get the point of these videos and you're being a douche about it. Goodbye.

[Laamafani2]

Great work zaranyzerak. Keep it up!

[ghozeiniswitu]

Why doesn't anyone ever make a first person zombie game

[lerricklao]

@ghozeiniswitu

left 4 dead 2

[treyart1]

I loved RE 1 through the remake on Game Cube. RE4 and RE5 is shit just plain shit. Capcom what happened to the controls they sucked on RE4 and RE5. They both felt like playing a fucking arcade game. Comparing myself to all the RE fans out there I am the only one that respects and still enjoys the roots of the older games. Also I really miss the old camera angles. Maybe add the the new and the old would be acceptable to my standards.

[rocknie2]

nice video dude...you should do a re4 first impressions vid...keep up the good work.

[XLRO8]

whats the syory of RE any way i always wanted too know but im just to scared of zombies... dont juge me!

[l4dlovemaker2000]

 HAHAHA U FAIL HAHAHA!!!!

[ichigo1455422]

nice video

[dragonteeth122]

re4 is awsome fr pss2

[AlvinSpitoon]

Dude! How have you played all those Re's but no the 4th!?!?!

[Zaranyzerak]

@AlvinSpitoon No real reason, just never got around to it. Plus had kinda had my fill of the series by that point.

[AlvinSpitoon]

@Zaranyzerak Since you missed RE4 your not used to the 3rd person over the shoulder gameplay type and thats was first introduced in re4 so thats why the controls might be a change

[Zaranyzerak]

@AlvinSpitoon Nah, played plenty of other games that do that. I just felt they did it poorly in RE5. Other games (like Dead Space, for example) did it a lot better.

[AlvinSpitoon]

@Zaranyzerak Cool, but did you at least play more of RE5? If you did what would you think on a scale of 1-10? What were the pros and cons?

[Fungus13]

@Zaranyzerak Completely agree. It's almost awkward feeling D:

[kevlch5]

@Zaranyzerak its awesomee greetings

from mexico :))

[DeadlySirenByFire]

This is 2009 capcom! this game fails, i think fans by now would like to be able to move and shoot at the same time. It was fine back in 1996 to about 2002 but come on? next Gen now... plus the story of this game just failed horribly and they ruined the characters. VS MODE is a rip off so dont get it! it's already on the game plus stand, shoot, move, repeat. but its kinda enjoyable lol but get it if you could for free maybe XD BEST RE has to be first one remake (opinion)

[XxHrtBtxX]

If you havent already you should do a playthrough of Resident Evil 5 not the demo lol

[sproutman11]

Man, theres alot of crap games out there so passing on games like re4 is a bad move.I played it once and hated it, then played it again and loved it.Just got to get the controls under control so to speek.

Like your vids.

[sushiboi66]

guaton conchetumare!

[ENOCHwithaGLOCK]

whats up with the "stepped in runny poo" sound effect every single time you shoot someone? and tis the same sound over and over. that alone would stop me from playing this game all the way through.

[SeniorSmurf1]

lol a new asswhole shall be ripped (jk)

[SeniorSmurf1]

the not being able to move thing, is somthing that i actualy like, because it adds challenge :D

[Zaranyzerak]

I don't see how that "adds" challenge. Just feels like a cheap tactic to me. Might as well just be a shooting gallery if you can't move.

[SeniorSmurf1]

well i suppose.... perhaps i worded it wrong, what i ment was it stops the game from being a run and gun game

by slowing it down they give it more a chaotic (for lack of a better word) feeling when enemies start to group up near you

i probably slaughtered getting my point across again , but i hope you got the jist of what i was trying to say

[Usul573]

Kinda relocating, firing quickly, and thinking about what to do next instead of just running around and firing like crazy.

[puoduh]

dude u know that Dead Space was officialy announced by EA few days ago?... It's AMAZING... I saw few first screens scaned from magazine... It looks phenomenal! Btw in Dec 14 there will more news =)

[Zaranyzerak]

Just heard the news the other day!  Good to finally get confirmation about it. Can't wait!

[Adiictiion17]

eri entero saco pa jugar conchetumare

[DamageIncM]

Why are they running in the cutscene and like slomoing in the game?...

And they disappear into this kind of goo when they're dead on the floor...

You should try 'Left 4 Dead 2', much better.

I'm not a fanboy of any, but 'Left 4 Dead 2' has a much more impressive experience, it's quite overwhelming.

Probably not for shooter-gamers, but a more casual all-round entertainment-story-seeking gamer like yourself (I guess) would appreciate it.

I loved it, great offline and online.

[DamageIncM]

LOL > Sheva at 05:21 XD

And I agree, why the heck can't you move when you aim?...

Especially you'd be under attack by these zombies... nobody is going to stand still... not even the greatest professional shooters or whatever. :P

[NoName7467]

Typed Resident evil 5 scary moments, funny thing is there is none and this showed up.

[420simpson]

yeah i typed resident evil 5 scary moments and then this came up cuz RE 5 wasnt even scary just action!

[cheezdoodle96]

@NoName7467 I can think of some scary moments from Resident Evil 5, like when your first introduced to the Lickers.

[garaa1234555]

i don't see why ppl are freakin out over how they think that you'v played it before who cares... and nice lol i might want to try it :o

[G0TH1C42009]

there not zombies their infecties

[911KissMyAss]

SAME SHIT!?

[G0TH1C42009]

resident evil 4 is cool

[ball3r90]

You played htis before...you did controls before you went in the room. nice..

[Zaranyzerak]

Huh? No, this was the first time I ever played it. Hence "First Impressions..."

[ball3r90]

Lies, before you went into that room, you did the gun controls and stuff. How did yo know that you were about to go into a cut scene? UH OWNED :)

[Zaranyzerak]

No. I don't fake out my viewers, thank you very much. If I say it's the first time I played something, it's the first time I played something. And adjusting the controls first is not the same thing as playing the GAME before. How did I know it was going to be a cut scene? I didn't. Fair assumption since MOST games start with a cut scene.

[LZF95]

yeah, since u've played something similar 2 it. Dead Space. Well, if some1 is an experienced gamer, they should know that b4 going to a place u should ready ur weapon. reload. chose a weapon. then storm the place.

[hcfhunk]

If you play Resident Evil Outbreak File#2 you can move and shoot at the same time, but it has nothing to do with the main story-line at all.

[bmx414]

you weren't that bad for your first try i failed way more then you in my first try so nice job :P . The 360 Controls seem better to me tho for this game =P

[ulquibree13]

You waited until a few months ago to play it?? Lmao. Go play RE4 if you haven't already!!!! :)

[Zaranyzerak]

Actually, this was originally recorded in February, just not posted until several months later. As for RE4...think I'll pass. I've played 1-3, Code Veronica X and Dead Aim. I've had my fill of Resident Evil. Until they update the controls to actually WORK and stop using them as a cheap cop-out to build tension, I'll pass on the series from this point on.

[ulquibree13]

Oh. I was wondering why, that's all. :)

[Manufan9090]

RE has a face button dedicated for fucking running, but not dodging unless the game feels like it? That is some fucking bullshit. And lol at all the RE whores who stick to "tradition", and the "RE feel". If they played thru Dead Space and were still satisfied with every single RE character's lack of multitasking ability under pressure, more power to them. But some traditions are meant to be broken.

[Manufan9090]

Don't listen to ulqui, if you hate the controls, you won't be able to get into RE4. RE5 was only fun for me because I played the entire way thru with one of my best friends. RE4 is one of my top 3 favorite games, but I repress my hatred for the controls. With RE5, the story, archaic shooting gameplay, craptastic cover gameplay (even RE fanboys can't argue with me there), and enemies who can COMBAT ROLL.

[ulquibree13]

Unfortunately, everything is based off of opinion. Gamers can choose for themselves what they like or don't like about a game. To you, it may be that way, but to someone else it may be the best game ever.... so of course he wouldn't know unless he played. But nah..... it's cool......I get what you're saying. There are traditions meant to be broken. But it pisses me off when someone says I'm wrong, because it was an OPINION.

[Manufan9090]

I did come off as a douche. But have you played thru SH6 or Dead Space? I've only played the demo for the latter, and that freaked me out more than the entire RE5 game. Think RE2... IN SPACE :P

[ulquibree13]

Yeah...Dead Space was fun and creepy. I played it a few times....I liked it. :)

[Manufan9090]

You know how RE6 is supposed to get back to the roots of the series? Do you agree with me that DS-type gunplay could work? I'm thinking limited ammo, and enemies that HAVE to be shot in the head to be killed, or the spine.:P

[ulquibree13]

Yes! Limited ammo and headshots!! :D

[Manufan9090]

You sneaky bastard. I see what you did there. I just think it's only fair to move and shoot, considering you have limited ammo, as well as massive amounts of enemies. Not quite Dead Rising numbers, but more than RE5 ever had in-game. Oh, and some melee combat, a la Condemned, would be sweet!!! Cuz bringing a knife/ machete to a zombie fight is ruhtarded.

[Manufan9090]

Oh, and i know you always get asked this, but what program do you use to do this?

[Zaranyzerak]

2 Digital8 camcorders - one to record me playing, on recording a direct feed of the game via a dual output video switcher (with one output going into the camcorder, the other going to the TV so I can actually see what I'm playing...). I then capture all the footage to my computer and put it all together either in Ulead VideoStudio (which I used for this one and all previous video game vids) or Sony Vegas (which I use now).

[Schaschlik345]

Absolutely...There is no need to "fuck up" the controls to guarantee a frightening play experience. For me resident evil was a decent game but not what ive expected. It was like Capcom was trying out new things in the horror genre (mainly atmo things like Daytime etc) which didnt work that well. Anyway its ok. Nice video 5*

[ZombieLeon188]

Not moving while aiming is traditional in Resident Evil

[Zaranyzerak]

Yes, well, no other current game does that so it's high time to break tradition. Using a 12 year old control scheme because it's a "tradition" is silly. All other game series' refine their controls over time. No reason why one of the most popular survival horror series' can't do the same. For me, the controls completely ruined the game experience and took me right out of it. If the only way they can think of to create tension is to have broken controls...that's unfortunate.

[DopingBox]

I think it's good when you can't walk while aiming, because I think it feels like a more traditional Resident Evil game then :D

[LZF95]

oh god! u've played Dead Space and yet u sucked in RE5?! its the same! Over-Shoulder-Camera! pickable ammos & items! and set up some tactics dammit!

[Zaranyzerak]

Actually, I didn't find it the same at all. The controls in Dead Space were very fluid and intuitive, I found the RE5 controls very awkward. In Dead Space you can MOVE WHILE SHOOTING, in RE5 you're rooted to the spot until you lower your gun. Just because they're both 3rd person doesn't make them the same. They are VERY different. you are aware this is a FIRST IMPRESSIONS vid, right? How am I supposed to "set up some tactics" when I'm still figuring out the damn controls?

[LZF95]

ooo... sowy... Its just i like RE series so much & hate watching people play it in a wrong way.

[destroyxeverything]

So this game fucking sucks.

Thanks, you just saved me from buying a piece of shit that'd result me into breaking my newly-bought PS3, out of nerdrage.

[DopingBox]

God, you're so fucking pathetic, saying this game sucks. D:

[prachcod]

idk maybe it was the voice quality i head somethign weird

[prachcod]

why does he talk like that?!?!

[Zaranyzerak]

Why does who talk like what?

[X2N18]

ok i don't understand??? why does are zombies talking??? lol

they supose not to right?

[yellowflash345]

there not zombies

there people that.....

find out your self

[KoRnYwAyZ]

They are not zombies... read the storyline..

[canadianty]

X2N18: your grammar is pretty fail.

[iPodTouchReviews09]

i think the games for re much better than the movies

[KoRnYwAyZ]

Yeah... may be because the games came first... then the crappy movies. The only good thing about the movies is Milla...mmmm hmmm.

[iPodTouchReviews09]

lol

[KaraLVRogueLZ]

ia Alyson Court in it as Claire Redfield.

[Dannyfaye]

great vid!.hav u seen the resident evil films?

[Zaranyzerak]

I've seen the first one, haven't seen any of the others yet. I actually liked the first one.

[Dannyfaye]

i saw the 2nd one and also none the others and it was good and hey if u get this game u and anetta can play! :D

[tintindwarf]

Don't you just love those load times.

[Zaranyzerak]

We're not in the days of cartridges anymore. ALL games have some degree of load time, though some are better at minimizing them than others. That said, try Blacksite: Area 51 some time. PAINFUL load times in that one.

[jasonjewell90]

Zaranyzerak awesome awesome is my fav word can you tell but yeah this game is that word shhh

[JamesKravenwolf]

It's not really a survival horror game anymore, so much as an action shooter. Still, it's a great game, and my favorite serires. And CO-OP makes it epic.

[Manufan9090]

Co-op makes it bearable, you mean. Sheva is slightly smarter than Dogmeat in F3, and he'll try and blitz a Super Mutant Behemoth.ROFL

Also, this game's fear factor is a 1 out of 10 (RE4 a 3 out of 10). Dead Space is an 7.5 out of 10, and SH2 being a 9.5 out of 10. Plus, SH2 is more psychological horror, not really many boo!! moments.

Playing RE5 without a friend is PATHETIC. I will say Sheva is a crack shot though.:)

[CoolXer0]

Do yourself a favor sean, pick this game up, you'll thank me later.

[rorrt]

if you played Res Evil4 the controls would be easier to pick up.

but imho, res 5 was one of the reasons i bought a ps3, and after playing the demo, i didnt buy it. really disapointed.

and when at the end, "Fear you cant forget"...well i can say i wasnt scared. i almost shit myself playing Resident Evil 1. and 2. but annoying with the new platform they could have done anything they wanted to...

and what they came up with was a weak story. boring enviroments, and f**king shiva

[1ronoc]

love these new videos bro. I can't wait to see more. I'd like to see more of the wolverine game too.

[Zaranyzerak]

I'm having a blast with Wolverine! I'm probably not going to do much in the way of a gameplay video of it, but I'll likely do some kind of review at some point. We shall see...

[AmericanNohbuddy]

Hmm. I think by the time I'm 30 I bet they'd be up to Resident Evil 10, along with other RE games not with a number behind them.

[Doctorb223]

No harm, no foul man. We misunderstood each other I suppose. I was only stating that the control layout or button configuration is unusual on the PS3. I don't remember if you can change it or not. But anyway, that has nothing to do with the controller. If the button configuration is messed up and the options are limited then you are screwed no matter what controller you use.

[Doctorb223]

Just a tip, whenever you talk about control, you might want to specify whether or not you're talking about in-game control (Those are called game mechanics by the way) or CONTROL, which would be the controller's button layout/configuration. There is a difference.

[Zaranyzerak]

That's ALWAYS what I mean when I talk about control. Everyone has their own preference of controller, so I don't even go into that since it's so subjective. When I talk about controls, it's always about how well you can control the character, etc.

[camgates]

you can't move while your aiming in 4 either

[freedomfan1999]

It helps if you pick up some of that glowing ammo all over the floor! LOL

[Herringsaw]

RE5's controls are nothing like dead space

[Zaranyzerak]

Yes, whoever told me that...was lying!

[RazMansReality]

Game seems decent. What exactly does inverting the Y-Axis do to make things easier?

[Zaranyzerak]

Inverting the Y-Axis basically makes the "looking up and down" control flight-control style. So up is down and down is up. That way just feels much more natural to me, more like how we ACTUALLY look up and down.

[RazMansReality]

Ahh ok makes perfect sense! BTW Z I'm back with Adam's help the full show is up! Let me know what you think if you can.

[Kratos87Fan19]

Y-Axis controls how you look up and down. When it IS inverted, you press up to look down and vice-versa. When it's NOT inverted, you press up to look up. Some people are just more accustomed to the inverted control scheme.

[RazMansReality]

Yeah I got now, thanks!

[RazMansReality]

Got it sorry typo.

[funnyclown1234]

dude, u see the the watermeaons, shoot them and u will get something(gold or bullets or heath)

[xpv007]

you toke along time to shoot the enemy . why ?

[Zaranyzerak]

It's called "conserving ammo." I wanted to make SURE every shot counted.

[sagasky]

Sure.. that didn't happen in F.E.A.R 2, shooting at ghosts..:P

[Zaranyzerak]

True. But in THAT case I was acting out of pure, blind terror...

[sagasky]

Yeah, that was freaking awesome, when it is that dark in a video though it is extremely hard to see..lol

[Zaranyzerak]

Oh, I know! But that's partly the design of the game too - so you just get FLASHES of what's in front of you, keeps you disoriented and pissing your pants...lol It's like that in the actual game, not just my vid. :)

[sagasky]

I watched it in the daytime..LOL

[Shinjitu]

You would probably be more used to the controls had u played RE4. This is just how the games are played now. I guess it takes time to get used to, but this isn't a run and gun game.

[ps3gonnaownwiiinsale]

lol i had no issues with the controls at all but doctor your a liar you probably have never played the ps3 version i heard on the xbox the controls were meant to be 10x worse than ps3 so stop lying i am not being a ps3 fanboy but your lying really you are

[irishroverhorse]

this game is good not the best but good i mean i agree whit you saying the controles are flimsey.but it is good coop if you have a freind over.you should do more fear 2 vids

[DrapskunstUlf]

Good video!

Btw, are you letting your hair grow out?

[Zaranyzerak]

Nope, this was filmed a while back before I cut my hair. :)

[ascullycom]

Give it some time and the controls become second nature. Resident Evil 5 is one of my favorite games this year it gets better as you get further into it.

[ChromeGhost0219]

I disliked this and the 4th game

[Doctorb223]

It plays better on xbox 360 and I'm not saying that as a fanboy. It really does have better controls on the 360. I used to have the PS3 version and I just couldn't take it so I sold my PS3 copy and bought the xbox version. Visually they are equal but as I've already mentioned the control is smoother on 360. Cool Vid as always.

[Zaranyzerak]

Does it let you run and shoot in the 360 version? Didn't think so. It's not the CONTROLLER, it's the CONTROLS themselves. Controlling the characters and making them do stuff is just really awkward. for all the beauty of the graphics and sound, they really messed up with the controls. Completely ruined what could have been a lot of fun for me.

[sagasky]

Giant axe of dooooooooooooooooooooooom, I don't see how the controls of this are like dead space.

[Zaranyzerak]

That's just it - they aren't. Dead Space let you full blown RUN while you were shooting and aiming - even backwards!

[sagasky]

How did that comparison arise in the first place?

[Zaranyzerak]

I guess because they're both 3rd person action games? Who knows!

[Kratos87Fan19]

I just realized! The beginning of this game is exactly like RE4! You enter the village and are overwhelmed by zombies. The only thing that saves you is a intervention. In RE4, it was a church bell that got the attention of the villagers. In this game, a helicopter comes and clears out the enemies. I don't really fell compelled to get this game because it does not look all that great. Just a rehash of RE4. Thanks for the video though, I can't wait to see more!

[sagasky]

zarany, I have a great game for you, Area 51 for the ps2, it was considered to have controls like halo, fun game it was, and yes.. horror sci fi..

[Zaranyzerak]

Got it, played it many many times, loved it. I actually talk about how awesome it was in my review of the god-awful follow-up, "Blacksite: Area 51" in the second episode of my podcast.

[sagasky]

Darkwatch also!!

[sagasky]

i remember when 4 came out, they said it was revolutionized resident evil or so. I don't know, I just felt like it was 3d graphics with the same control idea.. slow shooting with no running. It was more like they wanted the character to be tactical, from the police force. I like the idea of upgrading guns to fire faster..lol.

[higure8319]

u know all u got to do is sign out Z? u dont have to turn off ur internet. =P just hit triangle, while high lighting Account management.

[Zaranyzerak]

Meh, whatever, I don't need it to be connected all the time anyway. Just when I'm downloading demos or updates. I don't online game much...or at all, really.

[Geeoh19]

The game sucks. End of story. Bad controls, boring gameplay.

[sagasky]

4 had the same controls too

[Geeoh19]

I didn't like that game either. Though to its credit, it did play better because of the gameplay but not enough for me to buy it.

In fact most, if not all Resident Evil games have bad controls. It's just inherent to the game and it's a shame too because if there's one thing I do like, it's shooting tons of undead creatures.

[bendaman11]

I love now they turned resident evil 5 into an action game, but decided not to allow your character to shoot and run at the same time.This mechanic worked well in number 4 but really fucks you up in this installment.

[bgcorporation]

To me I felt that Resident Evil 5 was like Resident Evil 4 in many ways. I don't know a lot of it bothered me. I didn't like that the menu screen was live action...when that is like a pause menu. Also its better with someone playing in co-op. If you play normal the AI is not exactly all that smart. You give her the sub machine gun and she fires with her pistol till she runs out and then looks for more ammo.

[Maximara]

Yahtzee mentioned the AI being brain dead regarding the use of ammo and even more annoying regarding the healing items. Then the inventory system (ammo stacks but healing items don't) got some ragging especially when armor takes up a space so you are wearing your armor in a pocket of your armor.
