LOL. I went and deleted some old betas (LBP... It was hard to say goodbye) and some game files. Not the saves though. The files take up a GIANT amount of space. I only did it to games I dont play anymore. BTW, DLING at 56%.2009-02-02 13:56:00

D'oh! I was just about to post here...
Anyway, I'm downloading right now, I will let you know about it if you want me to... (I'm a hardcore-fan since PSOne (except for the gun survivor and outbreak series... obviously!))

There's online co-op, not sure about a team based, versus online mode though.

I think it's on the US now.

Ok 2 problems, Control scheme is way harder than it needs to be and because of this you can not even walk while aiming... >_> which is a basic necessity. I just found it WAY too difficult and then i looked at the control scheme and noticed that other 3rd person shooters pulled it off just fine, but this one... nvm

second problem... wait nvm i do not think i have a second one

Cheers!

The second I'm done here, I'm going to download this. I've been a huge fan of the series since the second one. Only game to ever give me nightmares (though RE dreams are a lot more fun now).

Great find.

Played this online and found it really fun, I'm defiantly thinking of buying this2009-02-03 06:47:00

Ok this game is having a real problem. And no it's not the controls. The controls are just fine. RE isn't Gears of War and doesn't try to be either. People that played RE4 and loved it (like me) will be like a fish in water.

BUT. There's a major "but".
If you play solo it's crap. At least in the demo. There isn't any option in order to control what the NPC with you is doing. This means what?

- It means that she freaking shoot everywhere and use ALOT of ammo. Like double than me for the same job.

- She takes items on the ground and SHE COMBINES THEM. She combined 2 green herbs on me and she even was having a red one in her inventory. WHYYYYYY???????

Seriously, if there's no options for "controlling" the behavior of the CPU with you I will not buy this game unless I have a pro and steady buddy to go THE WHOLE GAME with me.

Seriously I'm flabergasted at Capcom overlooking the solo mode this much. This really kills the fun.

Wow....i can't believe that. if you guys share ammo / inventory like that your right IDK how they didn't think gee maybe the player doesn't want their partner wasting all their ammo / herbs...idk doesnt make much sense to me. IMO make them have their own supply or something or make it so they can't touch your inventory.... should really just give them unlimited ammo or something and not let them touch your inventory and just give you the option of healing them like in REVIL4 ...i don't like having a partner too much anyway i like going solo (unless its co-op)

Capcom clearly overlooked how the solo mode would play out. It's completely ridiculous to not have options such as:

-Sheva can collect items on the ground: YES/NO

-Sheva can combine items she owns: YES/NO


We also should have a "wait" command AT LEAST. Now she's all over the place.

i really hope so or that would pretty much ruin it from the sounds of it or make it a lot more frusterating / difficult. and ya that is pretty dumb those seem like simple options...i really don't know the big deal about just giving her infinite ammo and make it so you have to heal her/him

Ugh...

Everybody looking for a horror game should definitely avoid this game. Not scary...at all. And while it's a good action game, it's controls aren't as smooth as an action game should be. It has the clunky controls of a horror game, which work for a horror game, but not for the action game RE is trying to be. That and the AI is absolutely horrible, enemies stand there for minutes just looking at you like idiots before they begin to move, but that's probably because there are 200 zombies coming after you at once. Some people will like it...but not me.


I'm sure it'll be fixed by release.

Don't get your hopes up. Everybody said that about LBP's problems but no. And this is a demo, not a beta. That pretty much means that if it doesn't actually break the game, then it will stick.

If you have played R4, then you have played R5. It feels exactly the same except it looks better. The one thing that was an improvement was the weapon switch button. No more pushing start, going to the attache case, selecting the weapon, and unpausing back to the game.2009-02-04 04:01:00

glad to hear it. I was scared after what awesomesman posted. Must just not be his cup of tea but I loved REVIL 4

Still, be carefull. It's very different of RE4 when you add the flaws caused by the fact Sheva is there as an NPC in solo mode.

If you plan to play this exclusively in coop mode I'd say go ahead but if you think you'd go solo I'm sending a big fat red warning at you.

Yeah, Sheva does use a lot of ammo, but it's okay if you manage to search around for more. And sometimes she picks up items that I need like ammo and I have yet to see her give any bullets to me. She just takes and takes and gives nothing back...gold digger.

Well, maybe Capcom is sick of playing with stupid people on videogames and decided to make a game where you have to work together because Sheva is about as smart as a Lemming.

Oh and Wikipedia called RE5 racist because you kill Africans but it doesn't call RE4 racist because you kill Spaniards the whole time. I think that Capcom is incredibly racist. They put so many African stereotypes in RE5. I mean, pretty much everyone speaks some African language! Capcom, how dare you!

Hello All

Anyway, recently the demo for RE5 came out on ps3, bout Feb 2 i believe... (atleast here in the U.S. anyway). I know my fair share about RE but I really got into it around the time RE4 came out, but I have the directors cut for the first game(my mom bought it for herself and scared the bejeesus out of me when she played it, on MY PS. Lol).

So, I wanna know who else has played it, and who else loves it like i do?? Even though its a demo, I cant put it down! Co-op is the best, so insanely fun ^^ I just hate it when my partners dont know what the ---- they're doing...

And its hilarious when im on the mike and some guys like "wow a girl!" LOL

Any thoughts? And if you play, play with me!!! I want more people to play with xD (On that and LBP too, lol).

I got around to downloading / playing this and I actually liked it a lot. I thought the controls were fine. They seemed to react / be the same as resident evil 4 except for the quick change.

The only thing I noticed is when i got to the end of the first part for each scenario when it had to load it took FOOOOOREVER! And w/ the first executioner level when you get to the end of that it would like lock up my PS3 i didnt want to wait around for 5 minutes for it to load.

the second one it took a while but finally loaded the guy w/ the chainsaw who choped my head off
