Do Nintendo still have that exclusive deal with Capcom? Or is this one going 360/PS3 route?

The teaser above was debuted during Microsoft's time at E3, so it's probably safe to assume multi-platform

PS3 and 360. Not Wii

Wii is getting Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

It's just like House of the Dead. A first person shooter where the game itself moves you around.

It probably was uninteresting because:

1. They didn't show any actual gameplay footage, just a prerendered movie that didn't use the hardwares.

2. It wasn't that long.

3. It was a 360 E3 trailer, which, with all fanboyism aside, many felt Microsoft didn't do too well in showing off anything very appealing (even the Halo 3 trailer looked like shit according to the G4 people). To be fair, the PS3 trailer from the same game didn't show too much more, but it was more than what we saw here.

My God, this game is going to be epic.

Seriously hope the rumors are true about Wesker bringing back Umbrella....To me, that was the BEST thing about the past REs and for them to dissolve Umbrella like they did in 4, and go to something completely different is asinine to me.

Don't get me wrong. I love the Las Plagas thing. It's creepy as shit. But nothing beats old school RE plots.

It looks like Las Plagas are back, judging from the actions of the enemies. But they can't drop the T/G thing so easily. I'm hoping for a mixture of the two that doesn't come off as being horribly cliche.

The game looks awesome, but it didn't look much different than Resident Evil 4 to me.

You still had your same basic enemies. You had the evil worm-lookin' things busting out of people's heads, the guys with the chainsaw, and the same basic zombies.

Regardless, I'll probably pick this up as soon as I can afford to take out a mortgage on a Playstation 3!

To be fair, only like, two of the original RE games were actually worth a shit anyway. The series was definitely starting to drown in its own regurgitated vomit by the time 4 rolled around, so it was not only totally awesome in its own right, but it was also a breath of fresh air.

Nice. I'm a sucker for Limited Edition anything. I have the LE Mass Effect (Which, looking back, wasn't worth it but it was very cheap) and I've pre ordered the LE Street Fighter IV. Providing it's price isn't too high, I'll get the RE5 LE. Though, I have a friends birthday in March so I may have to stick to the standard edition.

Demo hits Marketplace next week I think.
The latest trailer for download on the 360 says the 26th of January. So, just 3 days away. A section on UK 360s called "SentUAMessage" says the demo will have some co-op to try out.

Ars Technica have a 360 mole, who's previously been fairly solid, so we'll run with this: Capcom and Microsoft have teamed up to offer a special edition Resident Evil 5 (http://kotaku.com/tag/resident-evil-5/) Xbox 360. And that console will come as part of a larger bundle, a bundle that includes:
* Red 360
* Red control pad
* Resident Evil 5
* Resident Evil 5 NXE theme
* Download coupon for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD
The mole had no word on price or availability, nor any official pics, so we'll have to wait for the anti-climactic press release announcement for those.

I downloaded the demo today but I haven't really played it yet. I played about 2 minutes of it before I had to stop to do other stuff. I played RE4 on the Wii so I'm a bit surprised at how slowly aiming is done without a Wii Remote. It takes away from the sense of urgency when an enemy is approaching. Then again, I don't think I've played enough to make a definite decision. It also doesn't feel as satisfying gunning down these enemies as it did for the RE4 enemies.

I'm pretty tired after a busy day so I'm putting my first impressions of RE5 down to being too tired to appreciate and enjoy the demo. I'll try again tomorrow, probably.

The aiming is slow, and I usually like low sensitivity on my aim. Problem is, these... things aren't gonna wait for you to line a shot. Me and my bro were running around like chickens constantly running out of ammo while the smart fuckers were flanking us to high hell. And this is one of the earlier areas?

RoXer
01-27-2009, 05:18 PM
Sgand and I played through it yesterday and it is terrible. I didn't get through the 2nd level because I had to leave so I might run through it again but I dunno.

The aiming is slow. I get that. I understand that. It's a slower game. Fine. You could even say it's trying to be more tactical. Sure. But it is still balls. I'm not saying slow is bad, but THIS slow is. Haven't all RE games had a slow pace anyway?

So it's slower. I can get over that. As I play though the level a little more I get to a cutscene and then zombies come after. Fine. I shoot a few zombies. Reload. What have you. Nothing out of the normal.

Then suddenly I'm out of ammo. WTF? I ask sgand "Hey you have any ammo?" and no, he's out too. So now we switch to our secondary weapons and blow away a few more. We are scrounging for ammo the entire time but get nothing but herbs and gold and all that. Then the big boss with the ax breaks down the gate. It didn't occur to us to run past him so we unload shotgun/sniper rounds into him and he ends up pounding us to death.

So we reach that point again, and decide to run past him, saving as much ammo as we can. We have to wait for backup to come. Fine. We sprint to the other end of the gate, turn around, and who's behind us? The entire horde and the big slow ax wielding boss. He couldn't get to the fucking gate to break it down for a good 5 mins but now he's going to be on my ass the entire time?

Whatever. I try to headshot some zombies because I'm low on ammo and guess what? It takes 3 shots to the head to bring them down. It also takes 3 shots to the body to take them down. And how many shots do they start me out with? Like 10? How am I supposed to get ahead? I saw some explosive barrels and shot them but it didn't stop the bleeding.

So what do we do now? We're out of ammo, we can't move while knifing(god forbid), and we got angry ass African zombies on our tail the entire time. So our stratagy was to run. That's all. Just run around the entire fucking map.

And guess what, it worked. We survived! And then the demo ends. That was it. That was the level. You get to a cut scene, wait for the boss with the ax to break the gate, and then run around for 10 mins. That's what capcom wanted us to experience.

God it's bad. Just really bad. And then going into inventory is a bitch too. I even practiced that the on 2nd runthrough before we did anything and I still fucked it up.

I will say the graphics are great though. As is the sound.

Other than that...

It's incredibly teamwork oriented, relies on tons of conversation between you and who-ever you're co-oping with. Well placed shots mean more than spraying bullets, there is a huge focus on ammo conservation and the it's a slower pace. That all is Rainbow 6. The inventory system is reminiscent of the the early Rainbow games on top of it all.

Obviously it's not identical, but there are more comparison to be drawn between the two of those then other shooters.

The only part of the demo that I really didnt enjoy was the fact you had to shoot most of the enemies multiple times even in the head to take them down...

my most pissed moment was when there is a enemy like an inch in front of me...I shoot him in the face with my handgun and he just steps back a little in pain, fast forward to when you are playing the level and hop to the top of the building with Sheva, I am at the guy throwing molotovs as far away as he can be and one shot in the face takes him down.

I really didnt mind the whole low ammo thing because it made the game more interested. The first time I played the demo I was low on ammo all the time but my room mate and I have been playing it through multiple times and we now have a shitload of ammo come the end of the demo.

The demo has its problems but hopefully these problems have been fixed by the time we get it. If not I still found the demo interesting enough to play the full game when its released.

Downloaded the demo, never played an RE game before.

After playing the demo, I am going to continue the above trend. Game sucked shit. Controls are sluggish, and generally require two buttons, stopping to reload does not equal horror elements or strategy.

If this is how all Resident Evils have played, I hope the sales of this game are as bad as the game itself. Thank God Dead Rising 2 just got announced.

Well, L4D just went even further down the list. DR 2...can't wait. Sorry Valve. You kept me busy for a short while, but that cheap quality only lasts for so long. Only thing is that I hope that DR 2 has more of a "free" feel to it, not being restricted by time constraints.

As for this one, I don't understand the hate for it. Sure, the controls are sluggish, but to me, 4 felt pretty bad in that aspect too. RE has never been known for its control scheme, especially back in the earlier days (to move any direction, press up? what).

I hope it gets better reactions when it comes out, but I'm loving the demo. Played it through several times already.

I just got through playing the RE5 demo properly. I checked options and increased the speed of aiming to fastest and it made aiming decent. Ammo is everywhere, believe it or not and you just have to look for it. At no point in the demo did I run out of ammo even though Sheva did constantly, even when I split my ammo with her. Check drawers, other shacks etc and you should find plenty of handgun ammo. There is even a machine gun in a brief case somewhere in the first level which makes things a little easier. Not being able to shoot or reload while moving is a bit stupid and it cost me in the second level. The chainsaw boss at the end of level 2 really shows the fault in the "no walking while shooting" thing. Having a fast, one-hit-kills boss in a narrow alleyway that I can't avoid and shoot doesn't work. Overall, While it's a bit harder than usual RE games it's not as great as I thought it would be and I'm not talking about the typical fanboy thoughts of a game being flawlessly orgasmic. I expected it to equal RE4 and I think it's fallen short but with it only being a demo, I can't really say that. It's not at all scary based on the demo. I think the chainsaw boss would have been freaky if I hadn't gotten used to Dr Salvador in RE4.

Hopefully, in later levels, the game really picks up. I wont be buying it on release now and I wont be getting the LE. Once I'm done with whatever games I get between now and RE5 coming down in price, I'll buy it.

Dunno, hardcore RE fans complained that ammo was too abundant in 4. So maybe they're going back to the way it was in the first 3? Which might be a good thing, because as awesome as 4 was as an action game, by giving you the arsenal and ammo of a small nation, you kind of lost that nervousness and trepidation you got from pulling out a firearm.

But yeah, if they are going to do that, fine, but one shot to the head should kill.

I agree with the last point, I found during the demo I could shoot them in the head at least 3-4 times before they'd drop.

I agree with the ammo thing as well, having to conserve ammo certainly increases the sense of nervousness in the game. Although with me because I'm so jumpy the idea of a giant centipede or spider jumping out of an enemies head massively increased the sense of nervousness for me anyway.

3. I imagine that you'd be capable of stocking up more effectively prior to the situations presented in the demo when you're in the actual game.

4. Again, alot of people had no problem at all with the ammo, even with this being a demo and all.

That was it. That was the level. You get to a cut scene, wait for the boss with the ax to break the gate, and then run around for 10 mins. That's what capcom wanted us to experience.

Good survival horror games don't have abundant ammo.
I've found that ammo really is everywhere. Slash fruit and there are grenades, smash barrels, there is ammo. Drawers, enemies, shelves all have a lot of ammo in/on them. The player just has to search for them but I think a lot of people are expecting the game to just give it to them.

Did anyone know that the enviroments could be destroyed by the guy with the huge axe? I've seen him smash tables and a few stalls.
The more I play the demo, the more I enjoy it. I managed to finally beat the chainsaw boss and, wow, it took a long time. I started by shooting an explosive barrel as he passed by, then unloaded everything I could find at him with uppercuts/hooks in between before finishing him off with a grenade.

I think Capcom may have given us a bad selection of levels for a demo though. Yeah the level are fine but if they were going to give us 2 levels, it would have made sense for one level to be action filled and one to show the more tense areas of the game. That's not a complaint, just a thought.

So despite it basically being RE4 (a game that was hailed as an absolute classic with high scores across the board, ridiculous sells, numerous awards and nominations, considered by some to be one of the better games ever made and easily one of the best RE games ever made) with specific improvements (that were asked for by people that actually played the game), it sucks because you can't find bullets and don't realize you need to be kicking shit instead of shooting shit.

This Resident Evil is not a survival horror. It's a third-person shooter. Essentially, it's Gears of War 2 putting more emphasis on the horror portion than most do.

Anyone that complained about not being able to move and shoot can be a little happier because Capcom have said there is an optional control system that lets you run as you shoot calling it a more "action" style of play and even saying it's more of a Gears of War style control system. You can stick with the style we have seen in the demo if you want to.

It's nice that Capcom if offering the option but I wouldn't have caved. Certain games should be played a certain way, IMO. But again, more options are always good. I still have my method and people who want RE to be played like an FPS (for whatever silly-ass reason) have their option.

My last post was a false alarm, apparantly.

Every day, the internet gets into some kinda tizzy, just like clockwork (if clockwork was prone to TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND USE TOO MANY EXCLAMATION MARKS!!1). Today's tempest in a teacup comes to you courtesy of a slight error in a discussion about Resident Evil 5 controls. Back in early December, a member of Capcom's crack team (who actually knows better, oops!) misspoke when asked about the new controls, saying the "action" controls (as they were known at TGS, but not in the final game) would allow players to move and shoot at the same time.

To correct this whoopsie: THE NEW CONTROL OPTIONS IN RESIDENT EVIL 5 DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO MOVE AND SHOOT SIMULTANEOUSLY. While RE5 is very action-heavy, the base RE game design mechanic of holding fast while shooting remains. This mechanic will be immediately familiar to any of the 36+ million people who have played previous Resident Evil games, but may require some mental readjustments by players who are new to the series.

In every Resident Evil game, there are always consequences for your actions; combat, while an important part of the game, requires a steady hand and the correct timing. Have you ever tried walking (much less running) while shooting? If you have, you'll know how hard it is to hit a target while in motion. This design reinforces the importance of playing co-op, as having a partner watching your back is crucial for success in the game.

The newer controls (which are selectable from the easily-accessed Options menu while in game) allow players to choose from four control schemes. The first two (A and B) are very, very similar to what you would consider "classic" Resident Evil controls. The second pair (C and D) are newer variants, mostly focused on moving more natural motion to the second analog stick on your 360 or PS3 controller. For the first time, you will be able to strafe in a Resident Evil game, just not while shooting! C and D will be the right choices to experiement with if you are coming off of games like Lost Planet, Gears of War or Call of Duty. A and B are where you should stick if you have played past Resident Evil titles and want to stay true to the purity of the original.

TO REPEAT: THERE IS NO "RUN AND GUN" IN RESIDENT EVIL 5. Don't believe me? Go download the demo on either the 360 or PS3 and see fer yerself. Sorry for the confusion!
Taken from: http://www.capcom-unity.com/kramez/blog/2009/02/02/rumor_control_no_run_and_gun_in_resident_evil_5

So looks like everyone will be stationary after all.
Here is the video that first said we could move as we shoot. The video was posted on February the 1st and the article was posted on February the 2nd.

Aiming speed can be increased in the options screen. That may still be a bit too slow for some people, though.

The first level in the demo just calls for you to last a certain length of time. That's how it seemed to me, anyway. If anyone plays one demo level and then anopther level straight after it, you'll have to set the aiming speed again because the demo sets it back to "normal" between each level in the demo.

I also wish that the original Resident Evil 4 (using the classic format of RE) was released. Not instead of the 4 that did come out, but as well as.

I agree with this, I've seen the beta video of one of the unreleased Resident Evil 4s and it looked interesting. Not sure it was the same version of 4 you mean, I'm talking about the one set in the castle.

I know that the Resident Evil 4 we know is actually the 4th version of the game I think. The first became DMC I believe, the 2nd I'm not sure about, the third was the one set in the castle and was scrapped because it was too supernatural

They are official Resident Evil games, published by Capcom. You're acting like they're cheap knock-offs

They aren't apart of the main series, which I won't list here. You get it or you don't.

Been playing on my offline 360 for about 4 days... Still having trouble getting into it.

EDIT: Oh, and their bans are nothing to do with street dates, it's just if the disc matches perfectly with a retail copy. Don't know if it does or not yet, it's not in the database.

Plus, the only released copies on the net are actually the Japanese version. Has English voice and subs though, but it means if you do have a street date fear, feel free to boot it up ;)

Avon teams with Resident Evil's Umbrella Corp. for face cream? (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/07/avon-teams-with-resident-evils-umbrella-corp-for-face-cream/)

OK, so this is a joke, right?

Avon isn't serious with the design of its Derma-full face cream, an exact replica of Resident Evil (http://joystiq.com/tag/resident-evil) Apocalypse's T-virus. We were astounded recently when we caught the commercial for Avon's product (http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?from=product.aspx&pf_id=36361&from=search&find_spec=dermafull&camp=200906&dir_delivery=1&rep_delivery=1) on television, a "skin care breakthrough," delivering "fullness perfected, not injected" for aging skin.

The beauty in all of this is not only does Avon's bottle look like that of the T-virus, but, in the film, the Umbrella Corporation's Regenerate product was also originally intended as a similar skin-rejuvenation cream. We're thinking some young marketing guy at Avon got a big laugh when he got this passed. Enjoy comparing both commercials after the break.

There is an occasional person of another racial heritage thrown it. White person here, hispanic here, etc, etc., but the majority of the enemies are Africans.

Not counting Irving or the aforementioned, 99% of the enemies in this game are black.

It's funny to me though. When it was mostly Europeans and Spanish people, no one cared. I just wish people could understand that the enemies aren't exactly people, but more along the lines of zombie or infected. But I guess people will find a reason to cry over anything.

According to some sites, Resi is going to get a DLC that allows for online multiplayer

PS3 owners of Resident Evil 5 will find a special surprise waiting for them when comparing their Trophy info with friends. Capcom has (accidentally?) revealed information about the game's upcoming DLC through newly uploaded Trophies. The DLC appears to introduce a number of new online modes: Slayers, Survivors, Team Slayers, Team Survivors and Versus. It's not exactly clear what these modes entail, but they appear to be competitive modes. "Team Survivors" gives us hope that Capcom is working on a co-operative mode inspired by Left 4 Dead.

#BROKEN Hasney

In it's current state, online multiplayer has issues. The netcode is fantastic. I was playing on a Japanese guys game with a rating of one bar speed wise and there wasn't a second of lag. So if you're playing with a friend who is at the same point in the game with you, it could be fun.

In an open game, that's where it seems a bit iffy. I'll regale you with a tale of my experience.

So I started it up at about the 3/4 of the way through the game mark. Someone attempted to join the game and it said it would let them join at the next checkpoint. So far so good. The game goes to the inventory screen and here's where the problem starts. This guy cannot borrow my equipment on this screen and it turns out he's not started the game yet, he's just jumped straight into multi-player. So this guy is starting the last stretch of the game with me and he has just a pistol....

Fine, maybe I can give him something once we're in the game for reals. Turns out I can! So I give him a fully upgraded unlimited ammo machine gun. We play for a bit and the guy just runs around doing his own thing and dies about twice, so I elect not to continue and the game ends. I HAVE LOST MY FUCKING MACHINE GUN FOR GOOD. That's his now and doesn't appear on my inventory at all.

At no point did I have the option to not let this guy join, or to kick him from the game, or even to quit. If you're set for an open XBox Live game, anyone can join, no questions asked and there is fuck all you can do about it.

With the Japanese guy, it was fine as he'd finished the game himself so the game was fun. The only niggle with that game I had was if someone died, only the host could choose to continue or not. You cannot leave the game without returning to the dashboard until someone dies and the host says no to continue. UGH.

Capcom really need to sort out proper Multi-Player lobbies and options, it's the same few probs as SF4 in places....

<small>Click to embiggen.</small>

We spotted it (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/10/resident-evil-5-dlc-adds-new-online-multiplayer-modes/) and now it's reality: Capcom will be adding several new online multiplayer modes to Resident Evil 5 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/resident-evil-5), for a price. The "Versus" pack will allow up to four players to compete across two different game types, including Slayer's Rule, a "point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis," and Survivor's Rule, which focuses on player-vs-player combat, with the last person standing claiming victory. Each game mode will support one-on-one, or two-vs-two play.

Capcom says Versus mode will be available "a few weeks" after the game's release and will cost 400http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif and $3.99 on Xbox Live and PSN, respectively.
