Capcom Removes Local Co-Op from RE5: Gold - Claims Code Does Not Work on PC, Modders Prove It Wrong

DSOGaming writes: "Well, you gotta admit that Capcom is making some really idiotic decisions. After the complete nonsense with the removal of local co-op from Resident Evil Revelations 2, Capcom decided to yet again give the middle finger to PC gamers by completely removing the local co-op code that was present in Resident Evil 5."

Either they are ****ing lazy or they are trying to do something we are not seeing.

I think i will go with them being lazy.

RedDeadLB3746d ago

A third party split-screen coop mod for RE5 is available for years now. Capcom are just lazy as fuck.

RE6 had a perfectly functional split-screen coop mode though, so it's blatantly obvious that they are just lazy and didn't want to spend the time to implement it.

bmf73643746d ago

Not even. If it's shown that the code was simply removed and it's that simple to replicate, then it's Capcom money-grabbing off of PC gamers

NovusTerminus3746d ago

Removing pages of coding is not lazy. These are not little check boxes of features.

This took time to pull the feature out.

As to why they did it... Stupidity is a better answer.

ThunderPulse3746d ago

I think they just wanna sell console copies with local so PC people will buy it twice.

It's things like this that make me wonder why some publishers think they have any right to cry about poor sales and piracy on PC. Stop literally ****ing on your customers and lying about it over and over. All you are doing is burning bridges and pushing people who are more than willing to pay away from your brand altogether.

I thought when they saw the absurd sale numbers that a lot of Steam games pull in they'd actually try to win back PC gamer's hearts, but instead they keep shoveling out broken titles, missing features, and lie after lie.

xander707693746d ago

Could you please stop literally using the word "literally" wrong?

Dudebro903746d ago

Way to rip a story from neogaf and pass it off as your own.

SilentNegotiator3745d ago (Edited 3745d ago )

Neogaf isn't a news site. It's irrelevant if something that was discussed on Neogaf is reported on by an actual news site and Neogaf isn't a proper source for N4G.

stragomccloud3746d ago

At least the game runs at a beautiful 60fps and has great graphical options unlike Square-Enix's lazy port of FFXIII.

Gamesgbkiller3746d ago

Every F***ing time!

And now we wait for the "apology"

Resident Evil 5 - 15 Years of Being the Most Misunderstood Resident Evil

Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.

TheBrainZ482d ago

One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.

Knightofelemia482d ago

I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.

thesoftware730482d ago (Edited 482d ago )

5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.

6 was awful.

CrimsonWing69482d ago

I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷‍♂️

chobit_A5HL3Y482d ago

it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol

-Foxtrot481d ago (Edited 481d ago )

What the hell are you talking about? Fake Rage? Bandwagon? Come on.

You can play it solo but you are forced to carry around a shitty AI partner you have to micro manage. It wasn't as fun solo.

Co-op sucked all the horror, tension and suspense from the game because having a partner covering you was like a safety net. Enemy trying to sneak up on you? No sweat the AI will just automatically lock on, alert you while they shoot first telling you where they are basically.

It was the start of Capcoms fall with the Resident Evil series where it basically become an over the top generic action game which betrayed it's own survival horror roots. Least RE4 had a good blend of both but Capcom just went the wrong way with RE5, especially going off what they were going to do during the RE4.5 beta phase before co-op was added.

franwex481d ago

At least the game was a ton of fun tho. If the game was bad, the outrage would’ve been justified. They simply pivoted for a couple of games. At this point it’s bad because it’s called Resident evil 5? But if was called something else it would’ve been good? Please.

chobit_A5HL3Y480d ago

like i said: fake baby rage and bandwagon hate. res4 wasn't really that scary, either, and was already taking the series into more of an action-oriented direction at the time. 5 was a good game that people fake-hated because of co-op that you didn't even have to play lol hence the fake rage and bandwagon hate. i mean, it obviously did well enough for capcom to go ahead and make 6 the way they did, right? if 5 was so bad, they would have changed what 6 was during development. the difference is that 6 was actually just bad.

people "hate" 5 because res4 was so good, and 5 was just unfortunate enough to be its successor. like i said, 4 wasn't scary, either, and relied more on tension than horror, but it was already more of an action game. if you don't wanna like 5 because it's not scary or whatever- that's fine, but it wasn't meant to be strictly a horror game anymore at that point anyways. the gameplay was a lot faster-paced than 4, so saying that the ai helping you by potentially shooting someone that was sneaking up behind you is a moot point. there were more enemies that were more aggressive, along with newer threats.

5 isn't as good as 4, but it's not a bad game by any stretch.

RNTody456d ago (Edited 456d ago )

What? I always thought RE5 had fake controversy because it was set in South Africa and you shot a bunch of black zombies. I live in South Africa and thought the game was absolutely awesome, played the whole thing co-op with my brother.

@Foxtrot I think you're confusing the garbage Dead Space 3 with Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 was already a hyper action game and had zero fear factor other than the grotesque appearance of some enemies.

Remake of Resident evil outbreak as well as file 2. Same gameplay as the recent remakes. Choose what ever character you want to play as. With online co op.

DarXyde641d ago

I've been dying to see Outbreak come back for years.

Even RE Zero and Code Veronica would be excellent.

But for the love of God, not RE5 or RE6.

One they get around to the aforementioned games, why not remake the original Devil May Cry trilogy? That would be a much better use of time. At the very least, the first two games.

justsomeoffdude641d ago (Edited 641d ago )

code veronica should be the nest remake

neutralgamer1992641d ago

CV is good candidate for a remake but requires way more work for today’s standard. People look at CV through their tinted glasses. I think capcom wants to remake every game up till 6 and fix the plot holes so they can continue the series in one straight story path

Also not sure why only RE have to get remade when there are other capcom games that would be better suited for remakes like oninusha

DVAcme641d ago

That's PRECISELY the reason Code Veronica needs a remake. All the other RE games aged pretty well, considering the limitations of the time, but Code Veronica is the game that would be served the best bybremaking it because it feels so archaic these days.

neutralgamer1992641d ago

DVA

But it depends if capcom wants a big project or a quick remake. CV will require a lot more work than RE5

IMO they should remake other games before doing RE5

TheEnigma313641d ago

how many times do we have to say CV is the next best one?

CrimsonWing69641d ago

Nooooo! Why the hell can’t they do Code Veronica? I just don’t understand.

1Victor641d ago

RE5 is the closest to the bottom of the pot(a little smoky flavor but passable in a emergency) before we get to the burned crust that is 6 that not even the pigs would eat

CrimsonWing69641d ago (Edited 641d ago )

Unpopular opinion here, but I enjoyed 5 and 6. I just think, in terms of Remakes, the classics are the one that should get the treatment above the modern takes of the franchise.

Don’t get wrong, RE4 definitely was an outstanding Remake, but RE5… I just get less excited about a Remake for that over something like Code Veronica.

RaidenBlack641d ago

Nope.
Rather remake other past Capcom & non-mainline RE games ... IF they have to continue churning out Remakes.
I'd rather want a new 3rd person RE spin-off
Dino Crisis and Onimusha Reboot
New IPs after Pragmata ships

jeromeface640d ago

show this man the door... he overserved himself.
