Josh should get his own game with Billy Coen. It'd be kinda funny.cvxfreak said:

Question--- Is it possible to max upgrade any weapon and turn on infinite ammo for it BEFORE you beat the game once? In other words...can i use infinite ammo on my first playthrough if i upgrade a weapon all the way?

Wow what an awesome weekend of co-op madness for me. I'm halfway through my second play-through and had a blast all weekend. I met a couple kick ass people on Xbox Live (randomly) and played all the way through with one and half way with the other. Damn that was the SHIT. 
Started some mercs, wow, I had not idea it was that fun. Though I am making myself finish the game first to get back to it, for I know once I do, I will be hooked.

I wouldn't mind that at all. In fact, I was disappointed that Billy wasn't in RE5. People always say that Billy's story is over, but really, I always thought that him going back to Africa for redemption would've been a neat way to introduce him as a side character in RE5.Mr. Pointy said:

If Billy does get his own game, Capcom need to fully splash out on the budget and hire Steven Blum to do his voice, as opposed to some random Canadian dude who kinda sounds like him. And his mullet needs to be awesomer.Rash said:

That would have been awesome. Billy needs to get into one of the newer games.Rash said:
But what I really hope is that we see Josh again. It'd be great if he could actually be playable, even if it's just a side mission.
The characters I'm hoping are in the next game (And by this I mean, I hope Capcom takes a couple)
Claire
Rebecca
Billy
Josh
Barry
If any of them are playable, I would be so stoked.

First of all, let me say Sectus is awesome. I asked if he could capture the above image, and he gave me not one but FIVE versions of it, all of which are awesome, and one of which is now my desktop (the same one he selected to show us, incidentally). I love the whole crow persona, as the crow is an omen of bad times to come, and that's precisely what this character would've been a harbinger of if left unchecked. She did, after all, plant the first Uroboros that killed Alpha Team, and used the arms dealer Irving to help advance the larger scheme before turning him on the BSAA.
I also asked Sectus to capture the below image:
The Gatling Gun Majini always cracked me up, so I asked Sectus for a mugshot. I think RE5 stopped being Resident Evil when they made the Gatling Gun Majini. At that point, RE5 was awesome. Such a perfect "Wat" face.
Speaking of which, you could totally caption the Josh pic with "I see what you did there." In fact, you must. A native version of the

And oh god: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/TzarSectus/RE5/Comp10020620.jpg (spoilers). Too hot to handle. And I'm pushing my luck here, but I recall Sheva looking quite fetching in her post-Ndesu panic, hint hint. "We should get out of here!"
That was hilarious! I also love how in both RE4 and RE5, they throw the word "terrorist" around as though it automatically makes the game more topical. :lolToyMachine228 said:

And didn't this game use Framework 2.0? It's crazy how good RE6 should look towards the end of this gen.
Any BSG fans here? Sheva looks a lot like Anastasia Dualla.
I really liked Shevas character. I think with the state of the world in RE series being what it is now and BSAA being this big acceptable defense force we're going to see a lot of new character in the series.

Sheva's face is actually based on a real Austrailian actress. She even posted the info on her official site. enjoy!

I finished the campaign on normal last weekend ( played it through on co-op with a friend in two sessions ). I frickin' loved it. Great atmosphere, one of the best co-op experiences around, and absolutely mind-blowing graphics throughout the game. I immediately started to dream of a RE4 remake with RE5's unbelievable graphics, too. Haven't tried Mercenaries yet, but it must be awesome.
Oh, and Sheva... Sheva is hot. And so is her original model.

It is awesome level design, it has actual interesting thought out situations. A location with enemies and nothing else is just that, an arena to fight enemies, anyone can make that. Its when the game starts to throw different situation after different situation when a game shines. Chapter 5 had such awesome setpieces, like the conveyor belt.
Indeed. They say the female form is the stuff of art and, well, Sheva proves it. Add some eyeliner, and Michelle Van Der Water (Australian actress posted on the last page) would come close to the spitting image of Sheva. Ashanti, not so much; she looks fine, but her face has a different shape.Lé Blade Runner said:I finished the campaign on normal last weekend ( played it through on co-op with a friend in two sessions ).

I just love Sheva. Her voice, look and mannerisms are perfect. Her acting (or writing, rather) is a thing of uneven brilliance; she soars during her post-Ndesu panic, but sinks with her confuzzled "Evolution? What are you talking about?!" But even uneven brilliance in RE5 is still Oscar-worthy compared to past Resident Evils. (I recently watched REmake's "Jill sandwich" scene. The voice acting in that game hasn't aged well.)
Also, a note on Josh's remark about how he wound up at the oil refineries... The way he says it suggests there's more to his story than he lets onto. It jives nicely with my idea for a DLC Josh mission where you evade Ndesu on foot as your squad's killed around you. Also, if you read the file on U-8, it says Irving sold a whole litter of 'em on the black market, including the superior U-8 Prime that has a virtually impenetrable carapace. Why mention this unless Capcom plans to bring back this boss in the future? That's fine by me; ol' crabbycakes was a fine finale to 5-1.
EDIT: That Battlestar chick is fucking gorgeous.
Neiteio said:
yea, i've become a fan of the woman who not only voiced Sheva but also did her motion capture movements. and i also think it's cool that Sheva's face was based on a real actress. if they ever made a movie with her, they could actually cast someone who can act AND has the face already.
One thing that I found amusing when fighting the last boss is
I really can't see myself playing the game alone, and am so glad I could play it with my brother who for me is probably the best co-op partner you could have (skilled, co-operative and not greedy).
when you push that boulder so Sheva can cross, and you give her a hand, for a second she looks at you fondly and smiles, as if you were just having a leisurely stroll and happened to come across a puddle, and not like all hell was breaking lose around you:lol

The game is definitely better on the second play through. Once you get infinite ammo with the hand cannon, you can pretty much blaze through the entire game with your eyes closed. I can't help but feel like the harder difficulties are lessened through because it becomes so easy to kill everything.
This just made me picture Chris and Sheva dating, coming across a puddle and rather than lying down his jacket, he shoves in a two-ton boulder. :lolMiburou said:
It's totally playable in single-player. I've played it all three ways (solo, duo and splitscreen) and each is fun in its own way. Single-player, for example, is the way to go if you want to carefully study the landscape, like in 4-2 where I can stand on the pyramid steps looking at the top of the cave all day. Duo and splitscreen, obviously, are great fun because there's twice as much action, twice as much to keep track of. It's a win-win situation as far as I'm concerned, but then again maybe I get lucky with the AI (higher difficulties included).

yea, i've beaten the game on Normal and replayed it multiple times unlocking stuff in Solo only. i havent even touched coop at all. it's still fun. i messed around with several chapters in Veteran and they're definitely not hard once you maxed out some upgrades. i'm looking forward to getting 1000 points and the platinum trophy for this game.
yep, i'm playing both versions and will play coop down the line

Great game. I was hoping for a glimpse of a few T-Virus zombies for old-school sake, but I'll live.
Man, the fight to save
is so amazing. I was playing it again on Veteran co-op last night, and OH, the drama. Love it love it love.
I had the slightest bead of sweat trickling down my brow when, after what seemed like forever, my partner had
restrained and I carefully, CAREFULLY aimed a fully upgraded L. Hawk square at the device on her chest. Three times I shot the device, and each time I threw
to the ground and pinned her to pull it off. I love how delicately Chris pulls the device off, using just his fingertips to avoid hurting her but doing so with all his might. Seeing those last threads of wire snap free got a big sigh of relief. Just. Incredible.
Equally satisfying is how the game duplicates any treasure you collect, so when I dealt enough damage to
for the Bad Blood trophy and picked up the Heart of Africa, both my partner and I got it. No fight over the 10,000N treasure; the game gave it to both of us.

The infinite L. Hawk is satisfaction incarnate. I love speed-running the gauntlet of 6-3 with it, downing each and every Majini with one shot. Just stop, POP!, and watch 'em drop where they stand, as though you turned all their organs to lead. :lolLiK said:i recently got the unlimited ammo bonus for it. can't wait to grind my way through it this weekend on Veteran

Anyone else remember the secret messages scribbled on the walls of the Kijuju viral marketing website? One that sticks out to me is:
"Sheva knew."
What did she know? From what I remember, nothing's revealed here. Like other people here, I found Josh's explanation of how he ended up at the oil refinery to be very fishy. I was expecting a big reveal later that never happened.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
So did 2K lend Capcom the code for Houdini Splicers in mercs mode? I swear, I check an area and make sure it's clear, turn around and a couple seconds later one of those fuckers grabs me and kills my combo. This usually happens in the middle of Public Assembly, a good ways away from where they spawn.
Fucking Houdini Majini gonna drive me mad, yo.
Fucking Houdini Majini gonna drive me mad, yo.
I got infinite S&W 500 before it but I greatly prefer the L.Hawk. The faster fire rate more than makes up for the damage difference and less kickback makes it easier to aim plus it has better penetration. It behaves more like a super-powerful handgun instead of the other magnums. I give my AI the S&W 500 and it nothing in our way survives.Neiteio said:

In the intro to 3-1, Sheva says she knew Umbrella was using Africa as a test bed for their experiments, and that they were responsible for her parents' deaths. However, I don't think she knew of the Type 2 Plaga plot, and of course neither Chris nor Sheva really understood Uroboros until later in the game.LiK said:
