I don't think there will be a Wii port anytime soon, unless they modify it later on. I loved RE4 for Wii.

“First of all, and quite obviously, the graphics. Even the title screen of this couldn’t have been done on PS2 or Wii. Online co-op as well; the number of enemies you can have on-screen at one time; destructible scenery, physics - we’re using Havok this time. We can do more complex stuff with AI; the concern I had in the very beginning is that sometimes an AI partner can become very frustrating. Now she handles fine and you can play through the game without her becoming a frustration. When you see the new stuff you’ll say “Oh my God, I can do this and this and this,” but you’ll probably get used to it quite quickly and then get into the story.“

They definitely did not change the controls so you can walk and shoot. I agree that it would be nice/easier, by having to sit there and aim while zombies are coming toward you adds that panic emotion that makes re. The key to the first level of the demo is to keep moving after your safe house is exposed and the executioner is coming for you. there is a lot of ammo all over the level and take advantage of the explodable barrels.

There will not be a wii port anytime soon it's a ps3 360 exclusive.

Especially since that new control scheme was key in why RE4 was so good. It's amazing how fast things move.

When you say say regular old RE, do you mean the ones where you are fighting zombies or the one where you're fighting third-world people infected with parasites? IV is a fun game, but it's got nothing the others have except the characters. These newer REs are another victim of the reboot trend. Maybe they'll just remake all the old ones for Wii.

That was the original plot line for RE4. 4, like most of the RE games, went under some major changes in development. It originally had, as you said, an infected Leon infiltrating an Umbrella facility looking for the cure to whatever he was infected with. It was supposed to give him special powers and it featured enemies unlike those seen in any RE game such as some mist monster and other types of enemies inspired from non-zombie horror movies.

The infected plot line was still present in another form in RE4.

It does release the 13th, but there's this place in the village that usually breaks street date.

And from what I've been through so far, you are stuck with her through the entire game. But so far, she hasn't sucked too bad. I just put her in 'cover' and she's been good so far.

Well, a video game developer has to be aware that it's not commercially smart to be racist. You don't want to have a game where it's the hero's job to lynch black rapists, for example.

It's a concern that every entertainment producer has to be aware of, or they will be confronted by people. Just like GTA has been confronted for years for its violence, adult content, etc.

I'm not saying that the RE5 criticisms are valid in any way, but no one should be suprised that these statements are being made.

I can't speak as to whether the Japanese are familiar with popular racist imagery, but I have heard that the Japanese can be fairly racist.

And for any racist, a big trigger/fear is the image that the race you despise could take your women. That goes behind black/white racism.

I understand that feeling. Round here people still look at black - white relationships as wrong.

Also bear in mind that the Japanese culture localized and sold Medal of Honor Rising Sun, and Japanese gamers bought and played it. Given that I could NEVER see a game based on the Vietnam War played exclusively from the Viet Cong point of view ever being put on shelves on this country, I think the idea of a Japanese developer inserting deliberate racist imagery is less likely than our own culture being overly sensitive to racial issues (whether justifiable or not).

And once again, that's a valid point, but I find it difficult to believe this outcry is coming from anything other than black and white racial tension. While I'm aware the people crying insensitivity aren't openly pointing a finger, I have a distinct feeling that the image of the perpetrators that is in the mind's eye of those offended is not a group of people of Eastern descent. An overwhelming majority of the time we hear the racist battle cry in this country, I don't think anyone is ignorant of the two races that are most commonly in the middle. I doubt it even occurs to most that this game was developed outside this country.

dereckfishboy
03-13-2009, 11:29 AM
This game absolutely abandons it's original horror trappings and instead of delivering a creepy vibe through calculated silence, startling imagery and scripted events, it completely replaces it with the tension of being consistently overwhelmed by legions of enemies in close quarters with minimal terrain to maneuver and develop any strategy other than "go where the least zombies are". That's my initial impression at least. Still fun, just definitely a shooter more than a horror, far more so than Deadspace.

I'm really bummed 5 won't be on the Wii. I'm not going to spend the money to buy the Playstation 3 or HBox 360.

I wouldn't shoot down the idea of a Wii port just yet. With talks of Wii ports/remakes of RE0, RE1, and RE Veronica as well as Umbrella Chronicles II being confirmed, Capcom is definitely showing it wants the Resident Evil brand to be strong on Wii. The core game is so similar to 4, a graphic downgrade is all that'd really be needed to make the port.

You know, I've figured out the vibe this game gives me. It doesn't feel like a Resident Evil game, it feels like a game based on the Resident Evil movies, if that makes any sense.... Maybe it's the emphasis on daylight scenes and near-constant action, kinda of reminiscent of RE Extinction.... Who the fuck knows, I talk out my ass so much....

This isn't bad at all. I was scared after the awful demo and fears about the partner but she isn't bad at all. The inventory system has reached a new level of shit even for RE games but otherwise this is quite good even if it feels a bit dated.

And I'm placing bets now that the chick in the hood is Jill Valentine.

The creepy darkness is replaced by bright sunlight, I think that's pretty cool. I am still getting used to the controls.

Played about 4 hours worth tonight. I really dig the frantic nature of the events in the game. It's not anywhere near the atmosphere of the first 3 games but I still find myself enjoying the experience. Sheva isn't as useless as I was led to believe. It's almost like she's not even there except when she's useful backup in fending off large groups. I only had her die on me once, when the chainsaw Ganadao ripoff showed up. I don't know how involved or in peril she'll be for the rest of the game but for now I think Sheva isn't the RE5 ruiner some are claiming her to be.

I would like a return to form for the series though. More puzzles, creepy surroundings and actual zombies instead of Las Plagas and sunlight. As it stands, RE is battling Dead Rising for my favorite Capcom zombie franchise. At least until Dead Rising 2 hits. I can't imagine a more fun game than one that takes the play mechanics of the first DR and stuffs it into a Las Vegas Casino.

98% of the time AI Sheva isn't a problem. It's just that 2% of the time is bad it will give you a rage heart attack. Last night I said cunt more times in 60 seconds than I thought was possible.

And RE games have bad inventory systems down to a science. In most of the games no matter how long I play them I can never get familiar with the inventory system but his game reaches a new high. It's indescribably bad. I can't even tell how its so bad but it is. Unfortunately since this is a co-op based game they can't pause the game every time you want to fiddle with your inventory so that will cause you a couple deaths as you desperately battle with the inventory to equip a grenade.

Other than that this game is fantastic.

Good point about the inventory system. I hate that it opens in real time. There's nothing worse than trying to equip a shotgun when you're being handed a beatdown by 15 Africans. I guess it all goes in line with the frenetic pace of the game. It would seem a little bit like cheating to pause, reload and equip weapons while you're supposed to be in the middle of a life and death battle.

HBox

I just finished the single player campaign, played a bit of mercenaries and played a round of online co-op. I think I finally have a handle on this game. It's really like two games in one. Playing this by yourself is an enjoyable experience. If that's all it had to offer it would be an slightly above average game. It's basically RE4 with a graphic upgrade and a partner. If RE4 and RE5 came out at the same time RE4 would be an clearly superior game. 5 has no game play upgrades to speak of. It's the same thing. Graphics are better, inventory is worse, AI Sheva will fuck you up just enough times to leave a sour taste. The game is played as if you are alone. You need to have her there to exit areas and press some switches. Other than that she is a walking item box who can handle your healing and waste your ammo shooting too much. Just give her the weakest gun, feed her all the ammo for that gun and take everything else for yourself. The plot also takes itself much more seriously than 4 (More on the plot later). Other than that this is 4.

If you play it with a (decent) human partner this is an incredible game. Obviously jerkoffs can ruin any online game experience but most of the time you will have a great time. The game plays totally different. If you are facing a large amount of enemies in a large area with a a human partner one can snipe in the distance and the other can protect in up close. With AI Sheva if you try sniping she will shoot enemies at random, probably run out of ammo, and very soon you will have enemies up in you face in large numbers. The first boss battle also plays completely different.

You have to lead the Uroboros monster into a furnace and incinerate it. Playing with a partner you can have one shoot a couple pistol rounds at the monster and lure it into the furnace while the other sits by the switch. In short order and with little ammo wasted the boss is dead. AI Sheva cannot be trusted to do that. She will stay in there too long and either get trapped in there with the monster (game over) or take too long and let it out. So you have to go in there and waste a shit load of ammo on its weakpoints until its paralyzed for a few seconds, sprint out and burn the fucker. With a human it's a new and original experience. With an AI partner you do all the work yourself in a boss battle you've done 5 times before in RE games.

So this is a good game by yourself and a Triple A title with co-op. It's disappointing that the core game play hasn't progressed one iota since 4 but it is what it is. Go play Gears of War if you the game play of RE4 enhanced.

As for the plot there are two ways to look at it. Most people think the plot of RE games are ridiculous non-sense. Those people would prefer the not-so-serious campiness of RE4 to the very serious story going on in 5. The plot in 5 takes itself as seriously as the rest of the RE games besides 4. It's purpose is to wrap up the story of at least one or maybe more classic RE characters. So if you are like me and actually like and keep track of the story of these games (it's a guilty pleasure of mine) then you'd prefer 5. With the exception of one awful failure of a character it's all business.

And it uses a technique I still don't know how I feel about. There's a big plot twist but it's so heavily foreshadowed immediately that you will figure it out 15 minutes into the game even if you've never played the game. However, there is not even a hint of a payoff for this until you are 90% of the way through the game. For me it kept me playing all night last night just so I could see some development in the storyline. The first time I saw some real development it was over and then quickly forgotten. Which was disappointing and frustrating. Details follow.

The whole plot is basically the end game of RE1. Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine began working for an anti-bioterror organization to combat Umbrella. Before the game they go to arrest the old head of Umbrella but find Wesker there. He killed the old president and attack Jill and Chris. Jill, trying to save Chris's life and finish Wesker forever, jumps at Wesker and takes him flying out a window and down a cliff. No bodies are found and both Wesker and Jill are presumed dead.

But of course they aren't dead. Wesker is some kind of super soldier (which is finally explained here) and Jill was barely alive after the fall. Wesker takes Jill's body and puts it in stasis doing experiments on her. Later he takes her out and implants a device on her which allows him to control her and gives her powers like Wesker. In the game she wears a black bird mask and a hooded trenchcoat. It's quickly obvious that it's really her.

The problem is that you see barely any of her until you fight her. Then you save her, have one conversation and that was it. She was the only reason Chris went to Africa in the first place. He had heard she was seen there. And yet he saves her, has one conversation and moves on. That's it. And the ending was no help. In true RE it was a one minute conversation on a helicopter and then its over. The entire Jill portion of the plot line was very disappointing.

Other than that the story was decent and wrapped up all loose ends involving the main villain. But that was such a vital piece of the story that was put off and put off and then instantly forgotten.

But the plot and events were sufficiently epic and the boss battles were very good. And the climax to the spoilered plot line was at least engaging and satisfying.

Overall it really depends on how you want to play this game. If you were annoyed by the game play in the demo and don't want to play online co-op it simply isn't worth it. If you still love the single player game play from RE4 and are open to co-op then there is a shit load here for you. The game is about average length for games released these days but between the mercenaries mini game and new game+ and unlockables you will be playing for a long time.

Capcom made it. How many times have they repackaged the same RE and then put it out on systems much later? I even remember them porting RE 2 and 3 to Game cube way after the fact. Capcom also claimed that Dead Rising wouldnt come out for any systems but Xbox 360 and lo and behold it was ported to PS3 and then a stripped down version later to the Wii.

I would say it'll probably be ported in 6 months to a year. Capcom will get every cent they possibly can out of a franchise game like RE.

The inventory is frustrating. I have 9 full spots and 4 empty guns and I can't pick up any new ammo. wtf?

i did figure out that you can replay levels and get all the gold and guns added to your current total. i.e. start level 2-1, get the machine gun, get the gold, get to the first quicksave then quit, repeat and keep adding up guns and gold. Meanwhile your unfinished game keeps getting more gold and ammo.

At least I think thats what happened

Yeah, you can do that. They probably allowed that because ammo is more limited in this game as opposed to 4 and they didn't want people to hit dead ends when they run out of ammo. Some of the bosses are ammo sponges.

And the inventory makes the Mercenaries minigame even harder. You inventory is preset and you have no time to set it up the way you like it since the clock starts ticking immediately and enemies are instantly all over you. So if you pick up some extra grenades or proximity mines and want to use them you have to get yourself some room and take the time to manually equip it. It's very frustrating. Especially when you mistake the explosive grenade for the First Aid Spray, which at a quick glance look very similar. They should have let you pause while using your inventory in that mode at least.

EDIT: And one thing I forgot to mention. There is one section of this game which is a huge throwback to RE games pre-4. That was a very fun portion and they were able to transition the game into and out of a more RUN AWAY! type game play than the run and gun style of the rest of the game. This was my favorite part of the game. A lot of nice nostalgia there.

And I didn't think this game was racist at all. I was even ready to overlook the part of the game with the black people in tribal Zulu outfits when they start chucking spears at you (I wish I was joking.) But then I saw one of Sheva's Alternate costumes and now I think Capcom is staffed with the hardest of hard core racists.

I just read a tip that makes the inventory much more manageable in terms of quickly equipping weapons. If you open up the inventory and highlight an item and then press L1 on PS3 or right trigger (I think but am not sure) on 360 you can instantly equip the item and close the menu. This essentially allows you an extra quick slot in the center that you can access by quickly pressing the inventory button and then L1/RT and makes accessing corner items a little easier.

The Rocket Launcher will take out any boss with one shot. And there is a shortcut for the final boss.

When you face Wesker's final form at the volcano, after Chris falls and Sheva almost falls, when both Chris and Sheva are taking on Wesker together first you have to attack the orb on weskers back. Once the front orb is opened up attack that. Once he starts staggering sprint to Weskers back. A Quick time option will pop up. quickly press the button and thats the end. Make sure Chris has at least 50% of his health left as this option takes away some of his health. But you can defeat his form in two minutes doing it this way.

You also don't have to fight the bat creature in the ruins. Once he shows up just run all the way up the steps. Once you get into the thin hallway the creature will get trapped and die.

WTF.:furious::furious:

First make sure you have the magnum equipped. I've also found it's helpful to give Sheva no weapons. She won't stop and try to shoot Wesker at random times.

Once the fight starts forget about Wesker. Go around and shut off all 3 lights. Then start circling that missile pile in the center. Once Wesker starts complaining about you hiding take a couple shots with the magnum then turn around and run. Do this for a while to weaken him. You can also use the grenade launcher if you have no or little magnum rounds. Explosive and acid rounds work well. After you have done this for a while then use the rocket launcher. Don't fire unless he is complaining that you are hiding AND he has stopped walking around. I haven't been able to hit him while walking, only when he stops and starts looking around. MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU FIRE THE ROCKET SHEVA IS CLOSE TO YOU. If she's far away when you grab him Wesker will break out of Chris's grasp.

Once he catches the rocket run a little closer to him then shoot him. Once he drops to his knees run up to him and grab him. This might not work the first time but it should work the second time if you did a decent amount of damage to him before the rockets.

BSAA emblems. There's a file in the garage at the very beginning of 2-1 that explains them. there are 30 of them throughout the game and you can unlock some stuff in Bonus Features with them.

And for the huge boss on the circular elevator there is a shortcut as well. Once you shoot at its elbows and get it to slip down with its mouth open you can run up to it and throw a grenade in there. It blows up inside its mouth and opens a hole in head where you can hit its brain. You can shoot it at any time. If you throw a grenade in there twice the hole becomes bigger. I beat this boss in 3 minutes using this method.

I'd like to see them win that lawsuit against Romero+Co. so they can get around to making Dead Rising 2. Yes I'm speaking without having done any research on whether there is in fact a Dead Rising 2 in the works, or if in fact, the lawsuit against Capcom is settled yet. But fuck it, I'm a messageboard jerk!

I.

STILL.

CAN'T.

FUCKING BEAT THE FIRST 6-3 WESKER BATTLE.

WTF.:furious::furious:

The first Wesker Battle is like jumping over Bowser in the first Super Mario Bros compared to the final battle.

I only discovered the tip HBox spoiled after having run out of all ammo during the fight and had to take to using a knife.............a knife on the final boss of a video game like RE.

Can wait to get to Merch Mode and play through again!

All in all it was lacking a lot of RE feel too it, but I still enjoyed it. Need to get back to puzzles in the next one though.

Yeah I've been having big issues w/ the last Wesker battle and I can't seem to get that trick kill working. I took a break for about a week and might try to murder the bitch again today.

Getting them unlocks costumes and extras. If you care for that kind of stuff

You can go back, shoot the emblems and then just quit. You don't need to play the full levels.

Versus mode, like Mercenaries mixed with Deathmatch. I haven't played, but have read the endless juvenile flaming about it on the Gamefaqs board. I watched a feed of some dorks playing it, and it seems ok. The main limitation I see is that RE5 cannot be a run and gun game due to the lack of strafing and mobile shooting. So you either Revolutionary War the sonovabitch and just stand there shooting at the other players, or you play it exactly like Mercenaries by staying mobile and focusing on the Majinis, and occasionally shoot an enemy player when the time is right.

I have a RE4 question. I'm playing it again on pro and am taking on the Verdugo. I could just run around and escape up the elevator, but I want the treasure he's carrying. I don't want to waste my rocket launcher on him. any other way to beat him besides a bunch of magnum rounds when he's covered in liquid nitrogen?

He was Lord Salazar's right hand. Sort of looked like the alien from Aliens.

The Rocket Launcher will take out any boss with one shot. And there is a shortcut for the final boss.

When you face Wesker's final form at the volcano, after Chris falls and Sheva almost falls, when both Chris and Sheva are taking on Wesker together first you have to attack the orb on weskers back. Once the front orb is opened up attack that. Once he starts staggering sprint to Weskers back. A Quick time option will pop up. quickly press the button and thats the end. Make sure Chris has at least 50% of his health left as this option takes away some of his health. But you can defeat his form in two minutes doing it this way.

You also don't have to fight the bat creature in the ruins. Once he shows up just run all the way up the steps. Once you get into the thin hallway the creature will get trapped and die.

I was so glad when I found out about that, made it soooooooo much easier. XD

They just released the first part of a series of DLC for Resident Evil 5 that will encompass the Gold edition which will later be released on disc. What they released yesterday was Lost in Nightmares, a quest following Chris and Jill as they try and arrest Ozwell Spencer. The end of this was shown in a flashback in the regular game. It's only about an hour and, quite frankly, it was disappointing to me. The very first part of it takes place in a mansion very reminiscent of the mansion in the first Resident Evil. Most of the quest involves solving puzzles as there are only 8 enemies in the entire quest. And the enemies are these new, weird, huge monsters that I have no idea where they came from or why they were there. And the defeating the final boss is dependent upon QTE events that are extremely difficult and have no margin for error. And it ends exactly where the flashback in the game did so it adds nothing. Nostalgia is really the only reason to play it.

It also comes with the first two characters in the new Mercenaries mode, Barry Burton and Excella Gionne. Barry is very fun to play with. They really had fun with his character, giving him a range of melee moves with names that call back to the first game, like "Barry Sandwich." Oh, and he can headbutt zombies so hard that their heads explode.

The Mercs mode is the only drawing point here in my opinion. In the next few weeks they will release another DLC episode chronicling Josh and Jill and how they escaped at the end of the game. hopefully it will have more action and be more intersesting. They will also release the 6 remaining characters for the new mercs mode.
