Ok, so I thought about doing this a while ago, but I figured, as the game is not out for a while yet, I wouldn't bother. But as I've seen a few more trailers and dug up some more information, I guess it couldn't hurt.

I have been looking forward to this for ages now. And the trailers I have been keeping up with are doing their job. They are getting me more and more exited.

The whole co-op play is a great idea in my opinion. I have heard people claim it's going to ruin the atmosphere of playing a survival horror game. But I think RE said goodbye to that genre the second we had our first QTE and had to run away from a ensuing boulder, Indiana Jones obviously springs to mind. Back to the co-op, I think its a fantastic addition to put in the game. I'd imagine the only feeling great than the one of knowing another human is watching your back, is knowing that you have to be on your toes for them too. I have always preferred to play games with other people and RE is one of my favorite series of games. So I'm happy with the opportunity they have made available.

I'll wait to see if this topic gets many responses before posting much more.

But I am curious as to what people think of the co-op system and who is looking forward to the game's release.

Oh, for anybody crying over PS3 exclusives being moved to 360 (hey Harkus!), it is being released for the 360. And they have plans to make a port for the wii, but not for a few years.

Discuss!

Oh, some trailers;

Man do you thinK Chris and that mystery woman will hook-up? I hope not since that place is raving with...

I've been really looking forward to it's release too for a long time. There seems to be a hell of a lot of enemies and i think this adds a new element of fear to the game when they all start to surround and gang up on you.

I'm not really sure about the co-op mode yet to be honest but i'm not against it, will just have to play it to find out ;)

Man do you thinK Chris and that mystery woman will hook-up? I hope not since that place is raving with...

No her and Chris will not likely hook up, because the canon of the storyline points to him being with Jill. In fact, judging by how RE treats Black characters, I wouldn't be surprised if she died halfway through, or at the end of the game.

And AIDS is everywhere. Wrap it up.

Still, I'm looking forward to RE5. I'm planning to replay RE4 soon, just to get a feel for it again.

but jill is dead.
but i still doubt chris and sheva will hook up.
for capcom reasons.

I'm actually fairly new to the series, in a sense. Apart from playing the playstation versions at a friends house as a kid (a lot!), I only own 4. I'm planning on buying the Gamecube versions, though, because the amount that I played as a kid and RE4 generally makes them seem worth buying.

I'm looking forward to going through the 6 games until RE5 comes out.

ps,

jill is dead.
cunt :(

Oh thank goodness for Wii ports :D

Learning to aim with an analog stick *shudder*

I too decided to go through them all again. But whilst playing through RE 2, I got sidetracked with another game..and back it went onto the shelves. It's not a huge deal for me to play them again. But if you haven't beaten them at least once, I think its a good idea to play them.

I am thinking of tracking down a copy of Code:Veronica to play. I'm sure they made a port for the PS2. I only played it a small amount on the Dreamcast years ago. But that's one I haven't beaten and wish I had.

That's one of the things I loved about 4. It does it's job of getting the adrenaline flowing and keeping you on the edge of your seat. Although, most of the time I end up standing and hyped up. Don't get me wrong, the feeling the the the previous REs, particularly the original, puts into you is unique in itself. I must admit the fixed camera angles in the first 3 were a big part of what i thought made the games great. When they removed that in 4, I was skeptacle. But I think it works well nonetheless.



I'm not really sure about the co-op mode yet to be honest but i'm not against it, will just have to play it to find out ;)

Oh yes. As soon as I get my PS3 (should be a matter of weeks now), I'll be meeting you on the PS Network! Pro Evo and eventually RE 5. I'm willing to bet your doubts will be lifted fairly swiftly. ;)

Reviving this since the demo is now out (Xbox gold subscribers only though) But will come to PS3 on the 5th of Febuary.

Anyone checked out the demo?

Nope. But I went into GAME today to get Call Of Duty 4:Game Of The Year Edition and saw the box for the 360. It had nothig on the back...

Anyway, I have seen gameplay trailers and other stuff. It looks great.

Also, where did you hear 5th Febuary? My sources tell me 13th March..

The demo, not the full game.

I saw my friend play the demo...

I gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed in it. It seemed way too easy and the whole Sheva being your sidekick thing doesn't really work for me.

I guess I'm not a hardcore RE fan, but I'm not that hyped anymore.

but jill is dead.

I'm very late to this but WHAT?

WHAT

WHAT

Perhaps Wesker could kill everyone else (especially those rascally Redfields) so we can focus on Leon and Ada.

Oh wishful thinking~

It seemed way too easy and the whole Sheva being your sidekick thing doesn't really work for me.
See, now this is something I have been thinking about, Part of what makes the Resident Evil series so great is the feeling of being pretty much alone (obviously zombies etc excluded). You're nearly always forced to deal with stuff on your own. And in the brief periods where you do have somebody with you, it's normally more of a hindrance than an advantage (Ashley anyone?) Anyway, to sum it up; In Resident Evil, there has never been anyone to pull you out of the shit. Now it seems there is. I can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

I imagine we'll be split up from Sheva more than once throughout the game though, so we should get to feel "alone" a few times. And doing puzzles will probably be easier too. Though they can't get much easier than the ones from RE4..

I'm looking forward to it anyway. I keep thinking I should finish Dead Space in preparation. Or I could replay RE4.

Flux, I'm sure it'll be a good game regardless. I mean, it's still basically RE4 gameplay with new story and updated graphics. It's just the demo was kind of bleh for me.

And yeah...I still have to finish Dead Space too.

I played the demo and don't like the partner, she shoots all your zombies :[

When I first played the demo, I didnt like it. My second playthrough with my cousin (who's the hugest Resident evil fan), actually changed my mind. I liked it. I really loved RE4 and Im kind of excited to see where this installment takes the franchise.

I'm very late to this but WHAT?

WHAT

WHAT

youtube "play god trailer"

or just download the newest RE5 trailer on the 360.

which is actually 5 or more months old on the internet. but recently released for it

Yeah I went an did that since all these other bastards ignored my confusion.

Thanks anyway though. I thought maybe I'd missed a whole game or something

I just downloaded and played the demo. Game controles = fail... however, that might just be the flu I have right now talking.

that might just be the flu I have right now talking.

thats it, no other explanation exists.
did you try putting it on A type?

if i saw this earlier i would have asked you to join me in a game, but i unplugged the 360 to play morrowind on the xbox.
before anyone says, yes, i play that game on the xbox because i have my frikin 100 hour save there and i have no means of passing it on the 360, if thats even possible.

Ok I played it today.

I love it, it's brilliant, I got used to the controls instantly so I had no trouble with the aimming and such. I haven't completed either of the levels yet though, died on the first try then the chainsaw guy got to my partner.

Speaking of the partner she is fucking awesome, she never gets in the way and has saved me from death more then once. Making her do everything like pushing bookshelves is pretty cool too :P

Sheva, homeslice. Sheva.

My girl Jill cannot be dead! This..... This is.... Impossible!?
;_;

DEAD FOREVER


MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sheva's pretty damn hot.

Just played the demo properly now.

The controls were a little strange at first, but i know i'll get used to them. I'm not sure how well the sharing of items and equipment will work though; I tried to give Sheva some handgun ammo, but it gave her all of my supply. Maybe it'll share it out better if there is enough to give us both a fair amount?

The combat seems as good as it was in RE4. And aiming is nice and easy (if you know what you're doing). Obviously it looks great, though I'm sure everyone thought it would. And the sound effects are pretty top draw. (maybe not as good as Dead Space, but still effective)

I did both levels on the demo, and I didn't die once. Which could mean that having Sheva on the team is making it too easy. Or it could mean that the levels I played were pretty easy anyway, and that the demo is set to easy difficulty. I don't know.

One gripe I do have, is that when i tried to use the rifle to zoom in and admire Sheva's clevage, she ran out the line of sight..

I haven't completed either level yet lol.

Sheva's pretty damn fugly as hell and should never have existed, but capcom caved in to the racism bandwagon by butthurt niggers so they made her a second character to please said niggers

fix'd

Catastrophe.

Don't mis-quote me.

ever.

im not misquoting, im fixing it.

....

no

Not only is what Catty "fixed" a load of uninformed shit, it's also naive and small minded.

Sheva was on the cards from the beginning. I'm pretty sure they were expecting silly accusations of racism, but Sheva was not implemented to try and satisfy the crys of people feeling unimportant and pissed off at the world.

Think before you "fix" things, Catty. If you don't, you just look silly.

TM, I have not yet tried to do an online game. If we can, do you want to? If so, message me.

oh yes she was.
before sheva was shown in a trailer, capcom NEVER mentioned her.
not even said "chris will have a partner in this adventure"
they never said "the protagonists of this game are chris redfield and sheva alomar in a horrfying adventure"
they said "the protagonist of this game is chris redfield".
also, before the racism bandwagon, alll the trailers showed exclusively black people as enemies.
but during the racism bandwagon, in recent trailers (and the demo), black enemies are now 60%, whereas theres ASIAN, caucasic and even hispanic enemies (inb4southafrica, this is not in S.A, this is in some fourth world country in some sixth world village).
you didnt see capcom adding caucasian or asian enemies in resident evil 4, did you?


just because that female capcom spokesperson said "she was still in development back then" does not make it true.
or did you forget that capcom said the very first "leaked" re5 trailer was a fake and whatever it showed was not gonna be in the game?
one thing i learned is to not trust what capcom says. EVER

Yeah, where the fuck is Apollo Justice 2 and Perfect Prosecutor, Capcom!?!?!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Catastrophe, I never said anything about the enemies. Maybe Capcom did bring in enemies of different ethnic backgrounds after the accusations. But Sheva was always going to be part of the game.

Capcom had always planned to have a co-op mode within it. You think went through the motions of adding that extra content just to please some pissed off blacks? And yes, you might say "well, maybe they had co-op but it wasn't going to be Sheva they used", but I don't think that's the case. It seems she has a story that will develop and that she is vital to the plot. I find it hard to believe Capcom would do all this just to pander to these left-wing nutjobs. Also, I would call her a secondary character, not a protagonist.

And why would Capcom want to piss off legions of black gamers?

TM, I have not yet tried to do an online game. If we can, do you want to? If so, message me.


I do but I'm not sure how we play together, there seems to be no way to invite or join a friend.

Also, I would call her a secondary character, not a protagonist.

And why would Capcom want to piss off legions of black gamers?

i personally call her a nuisance.

of course, most of said legions of black gamers dont care.
it was a very small number of them who went apeshit about it.
and were supported by non gamers like soccer moms (the very same soccer moms that joined the "pokemon is satanic" bandwagon before it) and other blacks, as well as some eurofagian media.

niggers think they are the only ones who have the right to complain about racism. "oh, slavery and degradation over 9000 years ago"
"we werent equal until the 60's"
"if a white/asian etc guy kills a black, its a hate crime, vice versa its not"

i didnt see whites complaining in GTA san andreas about a black protagonist killing legions of white people.
i dont see germans complaining about the 10,000 ww2 games where their fathers and grandfathers get killed in the 1000's by a single guy.

racism will exist as long as people fell offended by whatever racial reason.
i honestly didnt give a damn about the ghost recon advance warfighter games.
however, national media universally criticized them for their "negative and racist portrayal of the mexican people"

You say you hate the shade of my face from my father's share crops
My people were slaves before yours invented hip-hop
Apologize but I'm in on the joke
Another brother to scoff at the dancing patterns of white folk

I think I'm fine the way I am
(And yes I chase my milk with ham)
I think I'm fine the way I am

Jesus died a jew
Pupils painted blue
You haters know it's true
Jesus died a jew

You say you hate the breath of my nose for my daddy's ear locks
Shunned before you pieced it and sold it and called it punk rock
Apologize for the murder of god
Like Judas the traitor we are both favored and deeply flawed

I do but I'm not sure how we play together, there seems to be no way to invite or join a friend.

thats easy, when hosting a game, make sure to change the setting to TEAM, then press the xbox button, choose a friend who also has the demo, and send him an invite.

There's not a xbox button on a PS3.

Or are you trying to make commentary ;)

I think on the PS3, both people need to set their game seetings to private or w/e then when one hosts the other simply has to click on join.

Also I do not and probably will never have an xbox 360, so just remember that lol.

And who gives a shit about what race the zombies are? You can lol at how you think capcom were forced to include the zombies or how sheva was just thrown in to please stupid cunts but who the fuck cares? Sheva is hot and the game is awesome, end of.

Catty, I hope you don't get offended by me electing to ride passed your racism rant. I think you have issues with it, which really don't involve Resident Evil 5. I think you went off on the mother of all tangents. But again, I mean no offense by that.

As for RE5. I played both levels with my brother online and it's great. I enjoyed it on my own, but being able to use the mics to help each other out makes for fantastic fun.

Employing tactics that you couldn't with the AI is another great addition made available. My only concern is that you might not be able to save a game that you're playing with a friend. In other words, you can only co-op the levels you have done on single player. If that's not the case, then I'll be a happy chap!

TM, when you go onto co-op (online) you select join or host. In this example, I'll say you invited me and I want to join your game. So you have selected host, and make sure you change it to "Partner" not "No Limits". It'll then say "Invite Someone"

So you press the PS button and press triangle on my name. Then select "Invite This Person" and I'll get a message. I go to that message and press triangle, which will then give me the option of selecting an invite to accept. I do that and then we should go into the level.

That's how me and my brother did it anyway.

Biohazard 5 Original Soundtrack [Limited Release] see this
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-na-49-en-70-37sz.html
it comes out Mar 05, 2009 I can not wait i think some from here will upload for us the ones that cant afford it.

for all who care:
newsest trailer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynELsF-W5sk&fmt=22

its awesome for several things, but the most important is that sheva doesnt consume 80% of it.

Ok Calum, we'll try that sometime.

I've been anticipating this game for awhile now...

I've got my eye on you, Caya. That sig does not speak well to your future behavior on this site.

I shall be the decoy.



Edit: I didn't do it

The Demo was pretty good, definitely seems like it will be better co-op than single player.

I enjoyed it more when I played co-op. The only downside, which I just discovered, is that if one has a mic and the other doesn't it gets confusing as hell. I bet it's even more so if nobody has a mic.

It shouldn't really be the case. Capcom shouldn't assume everyone has mics. But I think that's what has happened. Not to worry though, everyone I currently have plans to co-op with has a mic.

Which reminds me. Neg, you better pick one up when you get the console. It will be like that skype session many moons ago...Only we will both actually be playing :)

inb4noleonnoplay

finally managed to stay in a co-op session till the end of the level. Played with some random people, so far it's been pretty great, I was worried about people selfish and taking alot of items for themselves but that wasn't the case.

Hey can someone post the recently released Resident Evil 5 song "Pray- Theme Song." it just came out on itunes japan but that's it, if you have it can you please post it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK_gqQ0obO0
it's the second song that plays in the commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX89tmpiuDA
and you can hear the instrumental version that starts at 2:00 and lasts until the end of the video.

TM, if you have your mic, do you fancy playing the demo later? You don't seem to be on the PS3 that much at the moment though. Message me if you want to play.

Only 12 more days!

Look at the help thread to see why I haven't been on much.

bascally my PSN is being a bitch, I do wanna play but do I really need my mic? I can get through levels with people I don't even know without a mic just fine tbh.

LOL...played this game about a week or two ago(while the forums were down) at my friend's place. Not too big of a fan on the real-time inventory, but there's always ways to work around that. The rest of the game seems appropriately tense enough, and as has been noted, Sheva seems to respond quite well.

And as a little sidenote...to those concerned about Jill's death, let me say this: don't be.;)

Although this looks great, it's still not enough to make me go out and buy a PS3...



.....FF Versus XIII plx >:

I have half a mind to delete a post that postulates a FF game (especially a spin-off) is greater than RE5 :o

Meh, give him a chance to plead insanity.

You are unsually sagacious this morning.

By sagacious I mean merciful, and hoping that sagacious means merciful.

Oh wait, no it doesn't, Salazar uses it in RE4.

YOU ARE BEING SUSPICIOUSLY MERCIFUL TODAY, TM o_O

/Crucifies Neg

That's the TM I know and love <3

bump because of the jumpback or w/e you wanna call it

I'll be getting this game sooner or later, in the meantime I don't have money until friday, which will be used for mp megs and right now I'm still playing Killzone 2. Aside from that I'm remaining optimistic even though I had a problem with the demo controls. :/

lol in the Leaderboards on Normal difficulty, I'm ranked 994 out of 397842 players in the world for completing Chapter 1 the fastest.

1838/397842 for Veteran difficulty.

Not bad considering that it was done with the AI :)

I shall be getting this game after my exams are over, along with COD 5.

Yes, do it!

Kind of annoying that my posts in here are all gone. But I think the discussion will get going once more people get the game.

I just got to finish work 3 hours earlier than I normally would, because we were working 5 minutes from my house. And the job was done so I just came straight home! Which means some good quality RE 5 time is about to be had.

Handcannon not tied to ranks? Just upgrading?

SOLD SOLD SOLD

This video has "all" of the unlockables:

I should probably get a PS3 huh. From the trailers I've seen and the discussion so far, this game is enough to make me buy a PS3.

(And of course, Little Big Planet)

who want to gear up for a game on pro?
from start to finish.

I'm feeling resentful towards the game at the moment.

I got to a bit earlier in the Marshlands. Where you're supposed to find 4 pieces of a stone to put into a door. I found one piece and then went to look for the others. Just as I got into a swamp and the music changed. A crocodile's head popped up. It was at this point I got a message asking me to go on COD5. So I quit the game and went off. When I came back, I expected to begin at my last checkpoint. But no, it starts me back at the beginning of the Chapter. Yet I still have my ammo and such. Just no map, or the piece of Stone I collected. And, I had shot one of the BSSA symbols, which returned. Pretty damn annoying.

So I am getting my Xbox 360 next thursday with RE5 and Street Fighter IV.

CANT WAIT :D

PS3 :mad:

PS3 :mad:

I'm feeling resentful towards the game at the moment.



i can help you do that part fast.

PS3 :mad:

PS3 is shit....It isn't backwards compatible and there are practically NO RPGs on there atm.

And games actually look better on the xbox 360 imo.

And I save myself $300

Enjoy your Blu-Ray movie player~

People still play RPGs? WTF o_O

May your Xbox be stricken with the RROD for saying such things.

;_;

lol, gangrape

you can get a backwards compatible ps3 jftr.

Good luck finding that model, though :o

If you already have a PS2, then you are good.
PS1 don't matter because PS3 backwards
compatible.

Agreed. I read it twice to understand it.

maybe he's trying to be edgy

Shi- I can't believe it shows. :(

I <3 my 360. I hardly ever turn on my PS3, probably going to give it to a friend as a gift since I already have a bluray drive in my computer.

My PS3 has it's own issues too, had the optical drive die twice and the port for cables short, they got repaired under warranty but yeah. Friend has had his PS3 die too. Would hate to think what kind of problems I'd run into if I played my PS3 half as much as my 360.

Note, PS3 version of RE5 has frame rate issues. I hired it out for both from work before choosing which to buy.

Yay Stenchlord you are awesome~

Xbox 360 > PS3

man, f u gais

I have a 360 PC too.

i can help you do that part fast.

Hey, congrats on not reading my post. My point was that I had done work on it, and it didn't save it. Nothing about me not being able to do it. I'm more than capable. And it would be hard for you to help me considering I have a PS3. But don't worry, I've only said that like 3 times in this thread already.

And Stenchlord, it does have frame rate issues. But not enough to spoil the game.

Purrr, don't start another console debate. Especially if all you're going to do is recycle what every other 360 fanboy comes out with.

Debate, de bait... DEBATE, I HAVE TAKEN DE BAIT...

Thanks, Nintendo, for considering the hobo gamers... :kirbyinhale:like me

Okami you should get a 360 then you can play RE5 with me.

The 360 doesn't have framerate issue, occasionally though it'll get tearing if your monitor/TV isn't up to spec. Works great on my BenQ 2200HD Full HD (2ms) but on my BenQ FP202W (8ms) it tears which is a shame cause I have the 360 in my room and I use the FP202W in my room for image editing, the family computer is the one with the 2200HD.

Also things like the blue BSAA discs you only need to get once, they will always reappear even if you've acquired it beforehand. It'll load you to your last checkpoint and you'll have all the storyline items you had originally. Least it does with the 360 version. Not something I tested with the PS3 version.


The game makes me want to cry cause of how many times you need to play it to unlock all the upgrades for your weapons. I've finally upgraded everything but goddamn it was hard playing it so much. Almost at the point where I just don't want to play it anymore....

Anyways off to play some more, need more points to unlock unlimited ammo on them all.

Hey, congrats on not reading my post. My point was that I had done work on it, and it didn't save it. Nothing about me not being able to do it. .

and i said i can help you do that FAST, in other words, that we can finish it faster so we can keep on playing the other levels.
i usually tend to make a new game from start to fnish, with people joning ocassioanlly.

I hope this isn't...

make one of excella, then you can call them sexy.

Judging by how almost every major video game title is being released for the PC. I say the PC is the best platform this gaming cycle over both the Xbox360 and the PS3.

Sure, you have to wait longer for the PC release, but the price is still 40-50 dollars. Some game have issues, but a patch usually fixes it. PC's have their own live network, it's called Steam. Microsoft Live is also available and you get all the benefits of Xbox Live without paying for it. You can even play games against Xbox Live members.

Between the red ring of death, and the lack luster PS3 version of games, it's pretty obvious why the PC is the silent king. Especially, when you consider that both the Xbox360 and the PS3 are PC's with inferior GPU's.

What about Resident Evil 5 you ask? Well, that's coming out for the PC too, eventually.

Ok I only just started playing RE5 and I'm up to the Marshland.

I think it's a amazing looking game...it's just a shame they've taken all horror out of RE and replaced it with action.

Not that it's a bad thing, but it makes the game feel even less like an RE title.

I haven't bought a Wifi thingy for my 360 yet so haven't checked out the co-op.

Meh, it's not like it was really going to scare us, games and films are hardly scary these days.

Meh, it's not like it was really going to scare us, games and films are hardly scary these days.

I'm sure the designers of Survival Horror games and Horror films will be delighted to here that....

A friend of mine says that whenever he plays/watches anything scary, he constantly tells himself that it's just a game/film, and he shouldn't be scared. I don't get why anyone would do this. The idea of these things is to suck you in and create a sense of fear. And maybe that's not what you're saying, but if you never intend on being scared, then why watch the films and play the games?

Now, with Resi 5, I understand that it is hard to feel scared. Because the game does seem to have gone in another direction. (I personally wouldn't call it survival horror anymore). But I'm told that FEAR and Condemned are two very scary games. And I know I watch films every now and then that make me jump. My main point in all that is, I don't feel that games/films are no longer scary.

And maybe that's not what you're saying, but if you never intend on being scared, then why watch the films and play the games?


As far as films go, I don't watch new horror films anymore, the genre is pretty much dead in my opinion. If I ever catch a gem on TV I will watch it though as some of the films from the 80s can still give me chills even today.

And with games I don't play many horror video games either, the reason I like RE5 is because it's an enjoyable game and I had tons of fun playing the demo with friends, like you said it's not really a survival horror, it's an action game with rage zombies. (yes I know they're not really zombies but they really do remind me of dawn of the dead and 28 days later).

and jftr I always play/watch a horror game/film with the intent of being scared but I just haven't seen/played anything lately that has scared me in the slightest but it does take a fair bit to scare me so maybe it's just me.

My main point in all that is, I don't feel that games/films are no longer scary.

I agree, RE threw the Survival Horror aspect out the window with RE4 and now they are just awesome action games.

F.E.A.R. is incredible in the way it gets under your skin and scares you in a more supernatural sense similar to the Silent Hill titles.

A very important aspect to jump scenes and scares is the music imo. Most of the time these scenes are actually not scary with the music turned down or off.

Dead Space is pretty scary too, according to what people have said.

Ok I finally played co op by moving my modem out to the living room and played with this dude in Adelaide. YES he was 14 years old and had NO idea wtf to do and blamed me for his mistakes but it was still awesomely good fun.

Even on capped net there was practically NO lag and I can't wait to play with someone who actually knows NOT to shoot at gas cylinders when they are required to defeat the up and coming boss.

Co op works surprisingly well and is FUCKING awesome.

I heard Dead Space relies on jump scares mostly, something anyone can do.

Add me to your 360 friends list :)

Lord of Stench

I'm in Sydney. Can help you through whatever you need as I know where all the BSAA Emblems are and where/how to get all the treasures (since I've got them all).

Will add you later today ^^

I've got a 21st to go to tonight so don't expect me online tonight, although I may get drunk really early so you might get lucky. If not tonight though, then I should be good for tomorrow afternoon/night.

That first mob scared the bejesus outta me. Didn't help that I was really shaky on aiming with an analog stick :o

Let's put him in the equivalent of the cabin raid first thing >_<

I've got it mostly down, now, though. I don't lose the lazer in the distance nearly as much. 1080i, ftfw <3

Me and TM played a couple rounds using the demo.

The invert y-axis seems to only works for guns, not the knife, in the demo. Damn it was annoying having my knife go up instead of down :mad:

The first round, it was set on regular y-axis, so that explains my shitiness. The rest of the rounds were due to my inherent shitiness.

I love how when you lose connection, the enemy you're shooting becomes invincible, but your ammo keeps going down. Lovely.

Dr. Manjini took us both out once a piece. Me because I suck, TM because glitchiness or some shit, because HE HIT HIM IN THE HEAD :mad:

On that attempt we both landed simultaneous reaction commands 3 times in a row on him.

HELL YEAH!

No probs.

I'll be getting drunk and playing RE5 and Soul Calibur IV Wednesday night so maybe we can do something then :)

Late Wednesday, round 11pm lol.

Adam Sessler used to be one of my two dieties. Now, I'm a monotheist.

Adam bitches for 3 minutes straight about the game and I'm like WTF. Then, I think I'M ON TO HIM, HE'S GONNA TURN AROUND IN A SEC AND SAY GOTCHA! 5 OUT OF 5!

Um, no, he was serious. Way to fall victim to the ancient 'it's racist' mindset, you are now an anachronism :mad:

Mr. T, I sing your praises alone~

HELL YEAH!


We beat the holy hell out of him with our simultaneous melees :P, dunno why he didn't stagger when I shot him at point blank in the head WITH A SNIPER RIFLE.

And in the first level, I'm calmly trying to set up a barricade to block the rage zombies from chewing our privates and Mr Neg over here charges in guns blazing taking on like 20 zombies at once, you're lucky I blew them all up with that grenade to save your ass, speaking of which, I lost count of how many times I saved you from certain death in that level. :p

But I enjoyed it, we should play again sometime to kick Dr Manjini's ass.

And I fucking lol'd when I shot a barrel to take out some zombies and accidently got you in the explosion too.

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JEEEEEEEEEEEENKINS!!!1111!!!!

That was the round I had the funky axis on XD

Also, when I played that part in the game, I didn't barricade at all. The first time I did it, I was shit because I was just learning how to properly aim with an analog stick. The second time, I just went out and pwned the executioner before systematically taking on the regular manjinis.

I'm only up to Chapter 3-1

Need help with the Marshlands area, such a maze ;-;

That's what I'll be tackling tonight.

i've had the game for 2 weeks and i haven't touched it, lol

I feel another FAKE RE excuse coming on...

I actually think its more "Awesomer" than RE4

pardon my english Neg.

Awesomer is a good word. I kinda have a feeling it will be too :o

Yeah RE5 is wayyyyyyyyy better than RE4

Mostly because of co op drunken fun :)

Co-op is fun, but in a different way.

Isn't as affecting as when I play alone.

I find co op sometimes harder than playing single player.

When you're playing alone you have a bit more control over issues etc.

Working with an ally in co op can be a real challenge because you need to be so precise and articulate with instruction and teamwork.

Or you can walk into exploding barrels, like me.

yeah, the other bastard may or may not do what he is supposed to do.

This is why I always did all the work on group projects. From Kindergarten til Grad School.

And passed with flying colours I'm sure~ :)

I have a Master's. Of course I did, baby <3

About to move my modem and plug it into my 360.

Anyone wanna RE5 or Soul Calibur IV....add me: Zarcian ^^

Anyname why do you continue to prove that you are a twat, seriously :(

PLAY TEH DAM THINGIE

Played through 3-3 - 5-1 with Purrr. Was good fun, I just mowed down the enemies and let him pick up all the items, helped him find some BSAA Emblems and treasures etc.

Or you can walk into exploding barrels, like me.

:mad:

and you can take all the handgun ammo when I'm fully out of it too.

:mad:

and you can take all the handgun ammo when I'm fully out of it too.

Haha, That is badass Neg.

Take care of Number 1, huh?

The fact that Garamond thinks RE5 sucks is further proof of, ya know~

He was already in the ex-Deities bin. Now Adam will keep him company.

FU TM, I gave you all the rifle ammo :mad:

I was light infantry. You were special ops. l2war :rolleyes:

lol. Ilu, partner <3

lol get infinite ammo already. Then you won't need to fight over ammo.

Upgrade the M3 shotty, does 900 firepower when fully upgraded. That + unlimited ammo is win. Then fully upgrade the S75 sniper rifle, does 2000 firepower when fully upgraded.

Or if you're like Purrr and can't actually aim and just love shooting lots, upgrade the VZ61 machine gun completely and it'll unlock the ability to purchase the Gatling gun for Chris ($30,000) which has unlimited ammo standard.

I like aiming. Which gun unlocks the handcannon again?

Put it in a spoiler, please. Calum asked as much.

Handcannon is top priority~

Fully upgrading the M29 magnum(the six-shooter) unlocks the handcannon. I've got that sucker available now at level 5-1(when I stumbled onto the 'treasure loop' you can do by saving/quitting), and I can't wait to get it and start upgrading.:D

Does that mean you just

Start a level, get a treasure, sell it, and replay the level, rinse and repeat?

FU TM, I gave you all the rifle ammo :mad:

I was light infantry. You were special ops. l2war :rolleyes:

lol. Ilu, partner <3

Only after I requested it from you a million times, companion.

NOOOO!!!

Why can't I play as/with Jill in the story mode? Yeah, I agree Sheva has an great looking ass and all that. But now that I've unlocked both Jill's costumes in the Mercenary mode, I would love to be able to play as Jill in SP. I don't know, I don't think that anyone as desperate :) as me would ever care about the "weird" (not in the place) voice over.

Wow surprised the above post didn't get a spoiler...

Wow surprised the above post didn't get a spoiler...

Sheva still has great ass :mad:. :)

I think I'm gonna have to find a new partner, then.

I find it hilarious that if you keep pressing circle Sheva'll be like YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. I CAN'T.

You were programmed to serve me, which is evident in the fact that you come running even when you say such contradictory things~

NEG CO-OP NAO!!!

Yeah RE5 is wayyyyyyyyy better than RE4


I'd say that fundamentally it isn't as good as Resi 4. The variation is extremely lacking compared to 4. And even though the graphics are better, It's not as good to look at.

But it's took another change of direction for the series, so it can't really be compared in a fair way. It's still a great game. But, at this moment in time, I consider 4 to be better.

Neg, we should make our other accounts soon to get a co-op game going. Allen, I'd play with you but it's usually your brother on COD.

Or if you're like Purrr and can't actually aim


I was drunk ><

But yeah was really good fun. Up to the boss at the end of Chapter 5-2 (God he's a real prick)

Picked up Castle Crashers last night so will probably be playing that to death this weekend.

Co-op'd with Allen. AMAZING. Simply amazing <333

I'll make the account. Let's just try to hook up :p

Resident Evil 5 from a technical aspect is a better game but when taken into consideration with how far games have come between the release of Resident Evil 4 to Resident Evil 5 then no, it's not better.

If the two games were released at the same time, RE5 would have gotten better reviews than RE4.

I'm really leaning heavily towards 5, and I know that sounds crazy coming from me, but I am.

Let's dispense with the nonsense, bring the even and odd numbered entries together.

RE6: Leon and Chris

Sorry Rob ;_;;

Yeah, man. Neg really good work out there its all you baby, all you!

Man, it was totally all Allen <333

LET'S PUT TRIP WIRES IN A TIMED EVENT :mad:

HAHAHA! That was badass, yo!
Don't worry, man. I had your
back the whole time dude!

You did. You rocked it out.

Care for some more Co-op I can play at the moment, my bros are not on it.

Resident Evil 5 would've been so much better with 2 player co op IN THE SAME ROOM.

Capcom, hear my prayer~

You can do that. What are you smoking, Purrr?

Oh you can!?

I thought it HAD to be online....

....Well my day just got better

Right now I have a tentative date to play with a local friend of mine. Should be good times, seeing as we have different consoles XD


Let me know if you want me to edit your PSN/XBL gamertags into the first post in this thread, guys. Imma slap Official in the title of the thread.

Yeah Neg, please add my 360 gamertag: Zarcian <3

it's ok neg. you can keep your fake and terrible characters and shove them all into one game. i'll take the good one with claire all for me ^^

Id take Jill anytime.

Ada <3

Chris Redfield's arms <3

Chris is fuggen brutal with his action commands. Leon's never punched the head clean off a ganado :o

Jills butt and......


Hey lets focus guys back to discussing how awesome RE5 is or maybe how much you dislike it.

Lol I saw Stenchlord's African outfit for Sheva....was smexy :o

Allen was wearing that today.

was he? did it show of his curves?

Sheva's okay. She's no Ada.

Might also be a good idea to put locations next to the account names. I played with someone from the states and it was quite laggy.

Done.

It wasn't laggy for me and TM, but he did get disconnected a few times.

Done.

It wasn't laggy for me and TM, but he did get disconnected a few times.

That's because he sucks, I've not had any problems with people from the US on RE5.

Really Neg? I had ZERO lag when we played, it just disconnected.

I've only played with fellow Australians.

However now that my interwebz is back to full speed I doubt any problems shall arise.

If anyone has a PS3 and wants to do co-op sometime, let me know. Even though I have no way of verbally communicating, I know to stick with my partner and share ammo and crap.

Me and Neg didn't have mics but we did an Awesome Job. Great Team Work!

I like the new Official Thread. My goal this weekend is to finish the game and get started with my second play-through.

And also to play with Neg and Allen at some point. Is it right that if you replay chapters of your current game, you get to keep the stuff you get and you can then go back to the furthest point you're at and use it?

Yeah (I'm thinking), because when I played with Neg I had no ammo, thats how I left off from my last game.

See, that's why, if I do co-op I'm going to make a new user account and another save. I'd rather not affect my own save. I want to finish RE5 and get through some of MGS4 this weekend.

My friends are home from uni though, so I doubt I'll even be home at all. (Unless I just say I'm ill. Which I probably will do).

All you can do though is improve on it... i.e. First time I played through the game, I did it in like 7-8 hours with a friend, then when playing by myself, I found the levels where we spent an unusual amount of time being stupid and getting ourselves killed multiple times then played them properly and cut it down by a couple hours meaning that I got unlimited Rocket Launcher ammo cause the game was completed in under 5 hours even though I didn't play through the whole game.

If you start a new save, you lose access to all your gear. You can't swap weapons/armor between accounts, only ammunition. So if you start a new save, you start from scratch... which would be pointless.

We so did ^_^

He means making another account on his PS3 so he can have another file with which to just co-op. I agree, I'd rather have my gear, but if he wants to try doing a whole playthrough co-op from scratch, I'm all for it.

If we can hook up, I'm kinda in and out depending on the day, given the situation with my family at this point. But we will definitely try to schedule something.

No it wouldn't. Because all I want from the co-op is to play through the game with other people. It'll be more fun, and something to talk about with them.

I don't see that as pointless. I'll still continue with my single player save obviously.

Edit* Neg got to it first, but both our posts say what I meant really. That's what happens when you take a phone call, and check facebook in the middle of replying to a thread.

That's what I said.



I missed out the "wasn't" :o

Also if you plan to make different accounts Neg and Calum then you might aswell give them to me asap because I am definitely getting Resident Evil 5 down the road.

Does that mean you just

Start a level, get a treasure, sell it, and replay the level, rinse and repeat?

Yep. *guilty grin*

If anyone has a PS3 and wants to do co-op sometime, let me know. Even though I have no way of verbally communicating, I know to stick with my partner and share ammo and crap.

If only you had an xbox 360 ;-;

I'll be playing this game for a very long time. I'm like Calum, I want to clear it soon so I can start working on my infinite weapon collection.

At that point, I'll be glad to co-op with anyone who gets the game down the road, in perpetuity :D

I've already got infinite with most weapons now, just need to get it for a rifle, a shotgun and sniper rifle.

Tip for anyone looking to accumulate points, play 1-2. If you run through it quickly with the AI you can finish it in 4 and a half minutes. If you do it on Veteran, that's 2000 points each run.

I just remembered. Neg, if we make separate PS3 user accounts (that's what we meant TM, not new online IDs), we can't go online as Cookieflux/ConstantMnemonic because it doesn't let you sign in as somebody else if that person already uses an existing account on that PS3.

In basic terms, we would have to make new online IDs to have a separate save...I think anyway. I'll check into it later.

Seeing as it's free, I don't see the problem if it'll let us do it.

If only you had an xbox 360 ;-;

I'm guessing most people here have the XBox 360 version? :-(

The first post in this thread shows who has which version.

Notice how all the awesome members has PSN.

You're right actually.


And then you have PSN too.

Don't pretend, I know you love me :3

You're right actually.


And then you have PSN too.

I lol'd. I only chose 360 over PS3 because all my mates irl have one.

Of the two local friends that I have left, one has a 360 and the other has a gamecube.

Of course he has someone to love and a child on the way....

I CHOOSE VIDEO GAMES, YOU FGTS :mad:

i has both!

en fin, who want to beat the game start to finish in veteran with me?

Was indeed a bit ambitious about clearing it tonight.

Fuggen reaper and uroborus fugger :mad:

I'm on 5-3.

THOSE FUCKING FUCKING

5-1 to 5-3 spoilers

REAPERS :mad::mad::mad: I know, I know, it's the same problem I had with IT in 4 on professional. Too much pride. Just take too many chances on hitting their exposed chest until they are right on top of me and WAMMO. And then there's the times that Sheva is dumb enough to stand beside them.

And the pack of lickers before the Jill Fight. Totally ridiculous. STOP GETTING IN THE ELEVATOR AND START HELPING ME WOMAN :mad:

HAHAHA!!!

"Raise the elevator for me!"

Do you see the 12 ******* in front of me? DO YOU!?!?

need some help?
come on man.
give me a reason to stop playing WaW and go back to re5.

How many more times are you going to ask someone without a 360 if they want to play?

If it's too hard to simply remember something you have already been told several times, just check the first post of this thread. It shows which people have which console.

And as much as I try to leave WaW, it keeps dragging me back. I'm nearly 6th prestige now. It's frustrating because I do want to play other stuff (mostly RE5). But I can't stop playing COD.

Thanks for the offer ^_^

But I'm going to clear it on my own. Then co-oping to help Jessie out is in order :D

OH HAHA, I totally forgot he has a 360 :p

Neg...I have Silent Hill:Homecoming sat to my right on the shelf.

Why do I have that? I have no idea. But I do, and that's another game I want to start soon. So many games, so little time. I just wish I was still in school and had 2 weeks off for Easter. All I get is Friday and Monday off!

But, you guys are my witnesses, I will have RE5 beat by Tuesday 14th April. (this weekend, it's bank holiday weekend so I can hit it good and proper)

I only have chapter 6 to go. Would have gotten farther last night if I hadn't died so many times :p

Everyone but Allen says Homecoming is awful. But that's good enough for me, seeing as he's one of the few people smart enough to realize how awesome 4 is (him and Doomjockey. I name-checked ya homes, ya happy?)

For those who have reached Chapter 3-1, please read the spoiler below:

So, Chris tells the story of what happened to Jill when confronting Wesker at Spencer's place. Sheva makes a comment that "you two must have been close." The way Chris' voice changed a little and put a lot of emphasis on Jill was his partner, do you think they were romantically involved? He seems to be emphasizing they were "partners" almost to the point where he seems in denial about them being potentially romantically involved. What do you guys think?

Let's ask Allen, he knows more about the people involved in that. Rob might too.

It definitely crossed my mind, many times. And good lord does the word partner get thrown around this script. I like it, though. It's kinda cheese, but it's endearing cheese, imo.

How many more times are you going to ask someone without a 360 if they want to play?

If it's too hard to simply remember something you have already been told several times, just check the first post of this thread. It shows which people have which console.


this.

I'll let you guys finish the game first to see what's up.

Well, I did read some damning reviews. But, unfortunately, my Dad didn't. So he bought it, started it, decided it was crap and lent it to me.

I think I'll give it a go, but I doubt I'll like it.

I'm a big enough fanboy that I'll probably end up playing apologist.

You know me~

absoutely, i mean, you dont go jumping windows to your "death" in order to save someone if you dont love him/her.

DAMMIT, I HIT EDIT INSTEAD OF QUOTE :mad:

Sorry, Catty :o

He said what's in the spoiler above and that he visits several forums with RE5 threads with a bunch of users, Calum, so that's why he forgets who has what system.

Regarding what was said in the above spoiler, I had this to say before I butchered his post by hitting edit instead of quote:

Touche, sir. Touche.

CLEARED IT!

Final Boss--22 deaths.

OH HO, AN ACTION COMMAND. I thought I just had to keep hitting him in his weak spot :o :o :o

M29 has infinite ammo and the Handcannon is fully upgraded. Just raising points to purchase the infinite ammo.

Chris has a bitchslap reaction command. A bitch slap. He bitch slaps

JJ. Good god was I happy to see JJ.

And then Chris gets to bitchslap him. FUCKING SWOON FUCKING SWOON.

Awesome work, Neg!

Chris has a bitchslap reaction command. A bitch slap. He bitch slaps

And then Chris gets to bitchslap him. FUCKING SWOON FUCKING SWOON.

LOL! Can't wait to get to that part of the game when he does that. :-)

Awesome work, Neg!

Thanks, partner <3


LOL! Can't wait to get to that part of the game when he does that. :-)

Wait til you see who it is. Makes it infinitely cooler.

so far, *CNESORED* has been bitchslappd by two people.
*CENSORED* and chris, will there be a pre-re5 game featuing *CENSORED* where he gets bitchslapped again?

I didn't know ** was so important :p

**** is to me <3

I didn't know ** was so important :p


oh, you mean HIM, well, i meant the boss before the last boss fight.
IIRC, you also bitchslap him in a series of commands.

Anybody bought the Resident Evil 5 Versus Mode game pack yet? I think I'm gonna double check what is in my debit card account and I'll buy it tomorrow. Only �3.99!

I think it's the same as Mercenaries but you can play online together. And there is an opportunity to fight other players. Neg, if you're unaware of what it is, go check out the PS Store.

And I'm not going to be checking this thread until I've beat the game. The last two pages have posts that are too close to spoilers for my liking. Even if you don't name anybody or give out the story, it's easy to see what blanks need to be filled in..

Wow, the game just put me in a state of nostalgic glee one minute, and then made me want to bang my head against a wall 15 minutes after!

For anyone who has played all the Resident Evil games, I'm sure you'll remember the first time we encountered the "Licker". Walking down the corridor...drip...drip....drip...puddle of blood containing a man with no head....drip...drip...drip...turn the corner..Ahhh! Leon looks up and we shit our fresh white pants! Crawling along the ceiling upside down and dripping with blood is one scary fucker!

I still think that the Licker's first reveal is done so much better than some scenes in a lot of top quality horror films.

Anyway, I was really glad to see them back for this game. I just hope the brief few minutes they were involved is not all that I can see of them. However, I'm doubtful because, and this is where I felt like banging my head against a wall, I complete the Boss fight and start a new chapter, only to walk down some stairs and come across zombies carrying guns... Capcom..what were you thinking?

I mean seriously! I know the game has steered far away from the days of fixed camera angles and terrible dialogue (actually, the latter sometimes still stands), but zombies carrying guns is just ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to stop playing it, I'm enjoying it more at the moment than I have so far, but I'm curious as to who it was that thought this would be a good idea. And yes, as I've only just encountered them, I could be wrong about what they actually are. But I'd recognise that green/purple tinted skin and demented look anywhere. Still, I don't want to stop playing now because I'm getting more and more hooked into the game! (by the way, anyone who thought Jill would actually be in that containment chamber is one naive git!)

To some up my thoughts on the gun wielding zombies...

You better be going somewhere with this Capcom!!!

I double posted to bring this back onto the latest posted in thread so people who don't actually go into the sections can see it's been posted in.

reminder:

majinis are not zombies because they are not reanimated corpses.
think of them as less violent infected from 28 days later.

It's much easier to call them zombies tbh.

I call them rage zombies.

I'd say that you're splitting hairs. But, you are technically correct. Not that it matters. No matter how many Resident Evil games are made, I'd bet that when a person hears the name, their first thought is zombies. It's what the franchise is known for.

But, for your benefit and anyone else who is so frustrated by my ignorance that they have to call out the obvious; In my previous post, replace "zombies" with "majini" or whatever you see fit.

They have motorcycles and guns in Africa, so NO PROBLEM, from my point of view.

Can't find a good pic of the split dogs, but today I found out why I thought they were so neat. THEY STOLE THEM FROM SILENT HILL 3

A valid point, Neg. I'd totally forgotten about the split-heads from SH3.

Flux, you too have a valid point, in that 'zombies with guns' doesn't really fit in with RE that well. But if you ever read S.D. Perry's RE book 'Caliban Cove', it's at least a little less far-fetched(she had ACTUAL zombies with guns in there!) At least these guys have an explanation for being more intelligent(and thus, in my mind, able to operate guns).

I'll get a PSN point card today, Calum. I'm so down for Mercenaries action. YOU KNOW THIS :D

S&W M500 has too much recoil, I prefer the L.Hawk, looks sexy too.

L.Hawk, M3, S75 & Rocket Launcher are the best combo.

Let me know when you guys play. I may throw down with you guys on that.

I never noticed the split-head dogs from Silent Hill. I just thought they were like "mummy dogs".

Believe me, Stenchy, I'm used to handcannon recoil.

I enjoy doing things like shooting off Ashley's restraints and sniping zealots from across the ravine in 4~ :p

Thanks for the tip on racking up points! I've got that level down on veteran now. 2,000 points a pop, every 5 minutes, can't beat it. I've got my rifle to infinite, Allen, if you didn't notice from the pic. Jailbreaker is ready, just need to raise the points, and I'm working on the AK-47 for AI Sheva.

4 player Mercenary action will be :swoon:, I'm sure, Ari ^___^

Anybody bought the Resident Evil 5 Versus Mode game pack yet? I think I'm gonna double check what is in my debit card account and I'll buy it tomorrow. Only �3.99!


Yay, let's pay extra for something that should be in the game in the first place.

Neg,

What's your name on PSN so I can find you... or whatever identification the PSN uses? :-) I haven't added anyone or have had the need to, so I don't know what it uses.

Arigeitsu159.

That's mine. :-) Of course, I still need to buy that add on for the game.

$5.00 US

And we could co-op regularly if you want. I'm game for pretty much anything.

Do you think that look Chris and Jill exchange after Sheva says "that was for our fallen brothers" is them two saying "did she actually just say that?" ?

Fantastic game. The ending was more than corny enough for my tastes, but I enjoyed every second of it. I smiled when Chris saved Sheva from falling out the plane. I'm too exited to really organise my thoughts into something worth posting. And I want to try Mercenaries. I'll post better tomorrow.


So, I can start to get the unlockables, and, I can co-op now without worrying about my save. I know where quite a few of the BSAA emblems are. I actually saw one in a container on the ship but I couldn't see it when i tried to aim. So i want to figure out how to get it.

Edit* arigeitsu159, my ID is in the first post in this thread. Add me too and when I get the DLC tomorrow we could play.

Sure thing, Flux.

Emblem hunting is a trying endeavor. We shall persevere, though!

I tried Sheva. WHY THE FUCK IS SHE ORIENTED TO THE RIGHT :mad:

ad;lajdg;lakjg;alkdjg;akdjga;dlkja;dlgkjadglkjad;g klajdg;akjdg

Never playing as her again.

I don't remember her being that way in the demo. I could be wrong. Too lazy to check.

I actually had a weird thought when I was playing the game. I was sure that, in the demo, Chris held his gun as if he was right handed, yet in the game it seems left handed.

I might have just imagined it. But whatever.

I'm going to get the DLC now Neg.
