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.

Cheers

Not buying RE5, but I just wanted to post in this topic to say that this is the most impressive OP I've ever seen.

 

[BeEatNU]

My Asian version. Shipped! I'll be glad to play online with you!

Captain_N

I can't wait to waste all of our am-.....oh

lol.

I almost want to buy the asian version so I can have it faster.

 

[xfactor]

I can't decide whether to play it now, read the instruction manual first or continue posting on neogaf

 

[cvxfreak]

So the Asia 360 bundle is just the regular game and system with a special box going around the normal one?

 

[MarkMan]

I just want to know what's the difficulty like in relation to the other games? And is it non-stop action?

I think in relation to the other RE games, it's pretty easy. I didn't find it too difficult at all.

If you had an easy time with RE4, this should be no different.

^_^

Someone on my Friend List is playing the real game. This sucks.

sorry for the poor quality pics.

Its the regular system + RE5 in tin box + making-of RE5 dvd

Oooh. Maybe it won't be so far-fetched to just end up with the box.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Japan PS3 version GET!

And it does have full English and Japanese language versions on the disc.

 

[cvxfreak]

Biohazard 5 is the first multilingual game in the series (outside of PAL territories).

Kind of nice knowing that. Hopefully their save files are cross-compatible.

 

[Erebus]

I should stop reading this thread as everyone seems to have the game one way or another. I'm so angry that I have to wait until the 13th I hate you all!

I feel your pain. Ah well, it's been, what? Four years or so. A couple more days isn't going to bother me.

Does anyone know when the last Kijuju viral vid is going to be released (where's Zenith when you need him :lol)? Or when the net review embargo is up?

To click or not to click: that is the question.

 

[K' Dash]

It was hard not to watch the spoilers and videos in this thread, I'm glad I didn't, I'm playing the game right now and everything is a surprise, well, except for the demo parts.

I'm like 2 hours in and the game is AWESOME.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

DON'T DO IT

Hold out just a little longer. Only a few more days!

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I'm, like, totally serious.

(it's a shame to see that GAF is already stalling again, so soon after maintenance )

 

[Tenbatsu]

Am at the last chapter already, total playtime of 10 hrs. Game is kinda of short unless the last chapter is 8 hrs long but I don't think so. The boss fights are quite interesting this time round but easy.

 

[Wark]

Yeah, I guess I won't then. :lol I wanted years for this game so I think I can wait a couple days.

 

[Chinner]

Anyone know if its region free? Yeah, I know its pointless but I'm curious.

 

[Sirolf]

Anyone know if its region free? Yeah, I know its pointless but I'm curious.

Yup it's region-free like SFIV.

 

[Nemesis_]

That sucks.

I'm sorry to hear that. =(

Mine made it safely to Oakland, so I'm assuredly getting it tomorrow.

The website still says it's on track for delivery tomorrow. I am somewhat skeptical considering in that time it has to go through customs and actually arrive in the country.

We'll see. If I do get it, it'll be a very nice surprise. Either way I get it for almost 5-6 days before everyone.

On the Australian front: the game now apparently has a street date again and retailers CANNOT sell it until the 12th of March. I've heard rumours from a recent meeting that this may change though (The exact same thing happened with SF4, until the street date was removed and we could just sell on Monday/Tuesday instead of waiting till Friday)

 

[Pop On Arrival]

Just got my copy. Are the online servers up yet?

 

[dark10x]

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).

That's actually really disappointing to hear.

According to the in game timer, my first playthrough of RE4 took over 20 hours (and that was without any significant problems in proceeding). How many hours did it take you to complete RE4 the first time through?

 

[Captain N]

lol.

I guess you'll just have to keep muting everyone in the Killzone room so you can hear my baby crying for another week.

 

[Dyno]

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

Can you further explain this? How exactly does it work?

 

[dark10x]

So it seems that the game is a bit of a disappointment then, huh? That's irritating. The friend with whom I'm planning to play CO-OP with decided to go on a complete media blackout and literally hasn't seen anything from this game outside of the very first teaser trailer. I suspect disappointment will ensue.

Any further information on the cross platform comparison?

You can blame Nintendo for lack of a unified discount pricing plan in the U.S. Had there been such a line-up (Player's Choice), REUC (and RE4 Wii) most certainly would have been on it already.

I like the game as well, but I can easily imagine you disliking it on its technical merits.

EDIT: Why not ordered from Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P297F2/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Well, I got lucky yesterday with this. Stopped in a Blockbuster for kicks and they actually had one brand new shrink wrapped copy of Umbrella Chronicles for $32. I'll have to keep a better eye on their gaming goods in the future as they had a lot of titles that are no longer common at other stores (such as Gamestop).

 

[Tenbatsu]

Can you further explain this? How exactly does it work?

You can stock up your inventory by replaying old chapters which is pretty weird(guess its for co-op purposes). And you cant mix a herb(in the game) to another in your inventory if your inventory is full.

That's actually really disappointing to hear.

Its definitely short, I actually wasted a lot of time sight seeing to clock 10 hrs at final chapter.

 

[LaneDS]

Could someone please spoil me on how

Spoiler

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.

Quoting myself for a new page, if Tenbatsu or anyone else could clarify I would appreciate it.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Going to cancel my pre-order. Will wait for the game on PC. (And when it's cheaper.)

 

[Dyno]

That doesn't sound right. In the demo you can merge two herbs by simply dropping one into the space of another.

Stocking up on inventory by replaying chapters seems a simple enough exploit to avoid, unless you absolutely need it.

Is the game economy (finding gold and treasures/buying weapons and upgrades) the same as in RE4?

 

[Tenbatsu]

Quoting myself for a new page, if Tenbatsu or anyone else could clarify I would appreciate it.

I cant help as I have yet to finish the game.

Spoiler

Up till the final chapter, I never encounter any slow moving zombies. Is it the unlockable filter mode mode or something?

Yes you can merge if you have 2 free spaces. But if you have only lets say one green herb with no free space, and you want to pick up a red to mix with the green, you cannot do it at all. I remember you are able to do that in old RE games.

You buy weapons/upgrades at the start of each mission. And yes its the same as RE4. You can store those you are not bringing at the so call shop.

Bummer. Sounds like a bullshit rumor then. Thanks for clarifying.

 

[bomb_jack]

Also criminally missing. The ability to use herbs without picking them up. Fucking obvious stuff Capcom.

 

[hiryu]

I'm glad this game is shorter than RE4. I don't know how you guys find time to play all these 20+ hour games.

I absolutely love that packaging; soo sexy.

I am so happy I got that steel case. The Excella and Wesker artwork is awesome too.

Where is the actual game though? Is it stored next to that gold/brown box?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is this game really only 7hours long? ;/ im sure youve all seen that UK game mag review.

they said it was a tad shorter than RE4.. a tad?? My save time was 17hours for re4.. id say thats more than a tad shorter.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Just got to chapter3. The awesome parts are pretty damn awesome.

Gameplay wise it is very much RE4 aside from the coop sidekick part. Plus the way the levels are designed is very much RE4.

I don't mind this game is half as long as RE4. It has coop. So basically twice as much game in this than RE4. I'll play it at least once solo. And at least once coop with a friend.

The game is seriously cut scene heavy though. Maybe not as long or as talky as MGS4, but still substantial. They are very high quality cut scenes so I enjoying watching them.

[SlasherJPC]

For the people playing the game in co-op and finishing in about ten hours gamer clock time. Are you playing on normal or hard? Someone was suggesting that if you play co-op you should do it on hard otherwise its too easy. So maybe that accouns for the fast play time? I'd like to know someones final time playing single player.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Looks like an interview with the lead developer has revealed that online coop for the mercenaries mode will be released as a downloadable content on March 5th. So it looks like it will be just in time for the American release, although people will need online to update the game.

Offline coop is still available out of the box.

I saw IGN complaining about the lack of online coop so this should make things better.

I like that you point out that people looking to play mercs online co-op will in fact need an online connection to play it. :lol

In any case, that's certainly good news.

Wait, by saying downloadable content you mean we'll have to pay for it? I hope a free patch is what they mean.

This is really good to hear because I was kinda disappointed when I heard they wouldn't have online mercenaries co-op, but I wonder what price is going to be attached to this DLC -- or is it free? Either way, I guess I'm gonna have to suck it up and download it.
