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

[kieron97]

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.

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.

[Relugus]

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.

I hope RE6 is going to be good cause it needs to compete w/ SH8

[emperordeebo]

resident evil 4 was amazing, how could anyone hate it?

[emperordeebo]

resident evil 4 is miles better than resident evil 5, there nothing a like. They changed the survival and horror into a action game.

story line fail i could make a better game

[Isaac020586]

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.

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.
