I love that one designer's name: Jean-Christophe Hideaki Sincaire Moine

 

[neojubei]

SWEET!!!! Any of Sheva?

 

[xfactor]

Let's see here...

-the dial puzzle behind the church for the green cat's eye
-the light puzzle in the church itself
-the portrait puzzle in the castle
-Ashley's slide puzzle

Sure, there's less of them compared to other games, but there were definitely more than one puzzle that fits your criteria.

There's also the rotating light puzzle thingy at the island area, which is probably the only puzzle type in RE5

 

[GuardianE]

There are two of them, a one-sheet and one inside the manual. Both don't say anything of worth other than "Coming 2009".

The one sheet has the future website of the game.

Oh yeah, and the regular edition manual I have DOES contain a list of names on the page before the credits. Your UPC-less copy is weird.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the store that sold me the game jacked copies that were suppose to be in the LE. My game disc says "Game Disc" on it. :lol

Seems that the web address is the "special" thing.

Here are the pictures:

Anyone else think it's weird that Bionic Commando is the only page in the manual that's black and white? :lol

These in-game pics are making want to buy this game first day instead of waiting for a price drop.

I wish m0dus would make a Resident Evil theme for the PS3. Something that spans the RE series from RE1-RE5.

Totally looking forward to Dark Void than Bionic Commando, but weird that ad is in black/white.

The regular edition discs read "Game Disc" also. :lol Guess it cuts down on production costs to not have to make separate runs.

I'm not sure where yours is from because Seth claims that the names were in a Collector's Edition manual that he had at the time.

It's obviously N.A., as it has an ESRB rating. Maybe from the Red Elites?

Bizarre, your manual is different. I'm looking at mine right now and the pages are on different sides. My Bionic Commando ad is in full color. Do you mind taking a picture of the next page?

That could probably be it. It was clearly a copy meant for a bundle of sorts, but it's odd that that page is just not there at all. Shouldn't all the manuals be the same?

That's all mine has.

 

[Risette]

Did anyone else here preorder from Blockbuster? I did it today and when I asked them if they'll get it on release day the register girl said "probably, sometimes we get games the day after."
I preordered GTA4 there last year and got it at midnight so maybe it's the smaller games that come the day after or rental copies. I don't wanna wait an extra day!

 

[GuardianE]

So weird. Yeah, the Kijuju Survivors page is right before the credits and right after the Capcom-Unity advertisement page in my booklet.

I hope its not from the Collector's Edition, as that's all I've preordered and I wanna see my name! (I'm borrowing a friend's standard copy right now).

EDIT: I preordered from Blockbuster. They usually do get games in later, but some bigger titles come in on time. Gears 2 did and the release date has not changed for RE5 in their books. I'm pretty confident because if Blockbuster gets a game later, they usually reflect it on their employee game preorder sheet.

Nah, I'm guessing it must be an early version of the manual. The first copies of the game ever printed were probably sent off to MS to be bundled with the Red Elite. So, it's probably from there.

Let's not forget that REmake Chris looked nothing like CV Chris either. Chris looks totally different in every game he is in. :lol

It is logical to see him "evolve" graphically between PSX, DC and GCN, but once the highest point of realism was achieved (with REmake), they should have kept him similar. Leon looks more similar (the haircut helps) except maybe in Degeneration... and I don't know why!

Damn, he can do me any day.

It's not m0dus, but try this one:

I spent a lot of time perfecting the iconset using items from the whole RE series.

Because there's a 13 years time gap between REmake and RE5 (though UC's Chris in 2003 look somewhere similar to REmake...guess he changed his look between 2003 and 2009)

10 years, and Chris had his current appearance by 2006. So it took him three years or so.

:lol

 

[SuperSonic1305]

shinji mikami is Behind RE5 after all.

What exactly are they still doing with a headless corpse at Capcom? Is it being used as inspiration for decapitation attacks or something?

I predict a lot of naked Chris mods when the PC version comes out.

On another note: Snake aged, but always looked the same...

PSN people better be ready for some co-op surviving this next week

 

[Lyte Edge]

Any tips for Mercenaries? I finally cleared the first stage with 57,000 points, but it took a lot of tries to get that high. Do I want to use Sheva or

on the mines, or just stick with Chris?

And am I the only one who found the infinite ammo system a little convoluted? First you need to have a weapon fully-upgraded. Then you need to purchase infinite ammo for the gun in special features. THEN you have to go into the menu settings and enable infinite ammo on. THEN you have to enable it AGAIN before you start a game. :lol

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I need opinions, people:

S75 (Bolt Action) Vs. Dragunov SVD (Semi-Auto): Which Should I Max Out?

If you have the game, let me know which one you went with. Even if you've only played RE4, you could probably give me advice too.

Looking at the upgrade bars, the bolt action has the potential to be much, much more powerful than the Dragunov. But obviously, the Dragunov can fire faster. Hmm...

How do you unlock

Spoiler

!! I've already beaten the game on Normal but I haven't seen that unlock yet.

Is there a website where someone is accumulating all this unlockable information. Because this game has a metric ton of them

 

[careksims]

I'm probably going to the Midnight sale on Thursday. Hopefully my friend it too. We agreed to buy this for the co-op alone and the African bling bling :lol

Only based on RE4, but I stuck with the bolt action in that just for the reload animation. :lol

It'll be more powerful anyway, the only part of 4 that a semi would help was with shooting leeches in the Regenerator, but I can't say anything for 5.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Lets not talk about the final boss

Spoiler

and "killing him"

without the spoiler boxes.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I'm willing to bet that most people here forgot about them. That's how forgettable and easy those puzzles were. They were just thrown in there to help RE purists make a transition to a game that's more action oriented.

And if you think those puzzles were any easier than the ones in the classic RE games you probably should go back and play the old RE games again. The puzzles were on the same level, there was just less of them.

 

[Blueblur1]

In addition to your comment, I think everyone has forgotten all the searching and backtracking you have to do in the previous RE games just to get keys to advance. IMO, Subconsciously they haven't and they feel something was lacking in RE4 so they chalk it up to a "lack of puzzles."

Exactly, I dont consider all the running around a maze like area, looking for where an item fits as a puzzle. Yes they changes that aspect of the game but the actual puzzle parts, like moving statues, or setting power to a machine, or clicking paintings in the right order where on the same level as those found in RE4. I understand that past RE games had such a good balance between the two so RE4 was like a shock when puzzles were not seen in hours, so I get that but lets not pretend that the puzzles that were in RE4 were horrible.

The sliding puzzle with Ashley was the hardest in the series.

All of them are easy, though.

Resident Evil Zero.

I think it had something to do with animals and zodiac signs, anyway. I remember everyone hated it. It's been a while. :lol

Oh that one, no it was just about the animals and the food chain. All you had to do was read their description and it said something like this animal can take down the mightiest of kings so that means it can kill the lion, or this animal can kill those without legs that meant it can kill the snake. Classic put something in order puzzle, love those.

It's like in a movie where a character with amnesia suddenly remembers everything. Thanks for reminding me.

I really need to replay Zero at some point. It was a solid game. I actually played the Leech Hunter game, but I could only ever find 99 leeches. I played through that entire god damn thing twice, and always missed one.

I just played it so thats why it was fresh in my mind.

I really dont like Leech hunter, the only RE mini game I never completed.

I think the PSG is better than both of those.

The S75 has the highest damage potential. But the reloading cycle is long plus you lose your zoom after every shot. The PSG does more than enough damage to kill with one shot to the head. And it can be upgraded to 1200 damage per shot which is more than the SVD.

You get the PSG pretty late in the game though. So on my first play through on Normal I was using the bolt action. Second play on Veteran I am using PSG a lot.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

You know what I really loved about the plot and files of RE5

Spoiler

They finally explain why Umbrella made BOWs at a loss and what the hell the overall point was anyway. Spencer just was batshit James Bond villain crazy and wanted to be a God. It may sound silly, but it makes Umbrella as a whole make a HELL of a lot more sense for the way they operate.

Thank you Jun!

The hardest puzzle in the RE series is the Water Sample puzzle near the end of Nemesis. Well, potentially. Due to it's randomness you can get lucky and get an easy pattern.

This is true. Although I fluked doing it relatively quickly on my first playthrough.

Is the ps3 getting dlc? I remember at e3 that microsoft swindled exclusive dlc, is that still the case? Are they just providing separate dlc to ps3?

There is absolutely no reason to believe there will be any exclusive DLC. Neither Capcom or Microsoft have even hinted at such a thing.

There will be DLC (rumour has it that it is some kind of competitive Versus mode in the Mercenaries game), but it will nearly definitely be for both consoles.
