Basically take everything this guy said and expect the contrary. The game is so shit hot that even that even the hardcore fanboys who hated RE4 are all over the game's dick right now on the RE fansites even IGN.

And I personally think RE4 is the best game I have ever played. And from what I've seen in the stream RE5 pisses all over it.

Well hopefully you meet a cute Japanese girl that's into RE as much as you.

funny thing about saying that is they exist over there.

Much like the hot chicks liking MGS, I still believe it to be a marketing ploy. :)

Then again I am happy with a smart and beautiful wife who just doesn't like RE or MGS, but still lets me enjoy it and indulge in the games. It's the best one can hope for.

I'd like to coop with her. ;)

Meh, I guess marriage is dulling the senses, but she doesn't strike me as that hot (and a bit dead looking).

Nah, she's just hot. :) Still more to the point she has a smile that is just so wonderful, it's exactly one of the reasons I first fell in love with her. The other chick looks like she just had a meth crash.

warning: the ending to RE5, do not watch
Click to expand...
The ending isn't that bad. No RE game has ever had a solid ending, this one is no different. RE5's ending is what you'd expect I guess...

~Kinggi~ said:
I find it hilarious you people are already rating the game in relation to the other based off of watching a low res stream of someone else playing it.

hilarious

Alas, that's why I said "based on what I've seen." I wasn't really blown away by anything I saw, and I know how the game plays since I've played the demo (and completed RE4 several times).

Yeah, at least it gives the series a sense of finality. Also we have no idea what the docs tell us. They usually help beef up any RE story line.

So how bad is the PS3 framerate so far? I hate the 360 controller but if the framerate is just down right shit all the time I may have to go with that version.

It is apparently minor, but nothing horrible. I'm going with the PS3 for the controller reason myself (plus PSN).

I was thinking the same thing. It's making next Friday seem way too far away. I wandered in WalMart tonight hoping against hope that some unknowing employee put the game on the shelf.

To those who bought the PS3 version: how long does the PS3 install take? I have plenty of space, but it's the length of installing that bothers me, really.

I have a question about the achievements on the 360, if I play Biohazard 5 (asia) and beat the game, and after that I play and beat Resident Evil 5 (Euro), are the achievements going to be one unique achievement list, or the result will be two different achievements list, one from each SKU?.

It's a three day long weekend here, and I have little to no responsibilities over that time (well, other than a get together with some friends on Saturday night, but I wouldn't call that a responsibility); it would've been really nice to have a disgustingly unhealthy RE5 marathon.

Depends how RE5 will appear in your game history. If both SKUs show up separately in your list, then the achivements will be separate. Some games seem to have a 'universal SKU' so the 360 only allows for one achievement for all versions, while others separate them (i.e. Enchanted Arm would appear twice if you had the Jpn and US version).

I'm getting the PS3 Asian version, unfortunately have more friends that are willing to get it.
Hope the image quality is better then the PS3 demo (which was eariler build correct?).
The co-op mercs mode will be awesome, actually COOP will be awesome, hope my random coop friend doesn't waste all the ammo though :(

Am half way thru the game, its quite entertaining. They added new varieties to the old formula eg. emblem pieces collection. However, I dont like how you are unable to take a herd to mix with another if your inventory is full. Also if you ran out of ammo/healing to continue the story, you can always replay old chapters to stock them up, weird design choice? Graphics is gorgeous, one of the best out there or maybe the best. I think its best to play this game co-op rather than alone.

And yeah that bitch AI Sheva wasted all my ammos that I passed to her till I have to confiscate them back.

mediocrity at its best
Im glad Amazon is offering same day delivery for this! I played RE4 soooooooooo much and I cannot wait for RE5 ( having a lot of gift certificates at amazon doesn't hurt).

This plus Sacred 2 will make for a great gaming month.

Could someone please spoil me on how
original zombies play into the game? Do we get to fight hordes of slow moving, scary zombies? Their presence was spoiled for me and now I'm all excited for the gameplay possibilities of merging RE4 style play with classic RE enemies, if that makes sense.

To anyone with the game, can you guys confirm whether or not the blue line at the top of the screen and the tearing at >720p resolutions still exist?

Thanks. :)

Fucking fuck! I read a spoiler. Dammit. It's always so tempting to highlight the black.

Blue line is gone. Screen tearing is still there unfortunately. If you can run it at 720p but let the display fix the aspect ratio that would be ideal.

For people who are curious, my final playtime is 9 hours, 11 minutes and 36 seconds. Real playtime (that is, measured by me in the real world instead of checking the ingame timer) is about 13-14 hours. This was in splitscreen coop (I'm pretty sure singleplayer would take longer since the game seems to be easier in coop).

Great game. Awesome mercs mode. Awful stupid inventory system which makes me less tempted to replay the game without deleting my savegame.
