true RE5

RE5 was bad

[CLOUD1983]

Yep very nicely said, RE5/6 we get was not from this man the father of RE so u can't even call them true/original RE they were very bad wannabes survival horror games & bad games in general so it's time to play a "real" survival horror game from the man who invent the genre himself.

[kraideral]

If it's anything like RE4 combined with a little Dead Space for boss fights, plus a little TLoU for ammo and supplies conservation, it will be a must play game. If not well...

[Matt666]

Don't forget RE4 was bad, it what started the RE action BS factor off, anyone who says 4,5 or 6 is good clearly has no idea what a survival horror is.

[MehmetAlperTR]

Actually RE5 was not from Shinji Mikami like CLOUD1983 said. This is real survival horror from Shinji Mikami. But screenshots are not new. They released them months ago. Anyway the game is looking good. They are using modified ID TECH 5 Engine for this game. Shinji san said graphics are important for the horror game. And he also said when we play this game, and if we ll say this is the most terryfing horror game we ever played, then Shinji san will be happy. Sorry for my English, I learned it via playing games.

Thanks for the share.

[kraideral]

My pleasure!

I pre-ordere this game when it was announced. My most wanted games along with The Witcher 3.

[Rzep]

Looks like every Resi-like survival horror. Don't really see why people are so excited. Just because a big name is attatched to the project does not guarantee anything.

[kraideral]

My thoughts exactly and from what I have seen till now, it has nothing to get excited about.

[Rzep]

The problem I have with this genre, is that it's a horror only in theme. It's not actually scary. There is pretty much no way that a Resi-like game can compete with Amnesia for example.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Why's that? Is ii because of actual combat, monster design, setting? I mean I played Amnesia too and I love the game but would I place it over Resident Evil? No but nor vice versa, but mainly because it offers a different type of scare factor. I am not saying you are wrong to stating opinion but I really want to know why and I mean that in the most non-aggressive way possible.

[Rzep]

Well simply put the last scare Resident Evil (as an example of this type of survival horror) gave me was the dog jumping through the window back in RE1. Combat has always been bad. Even when I still loved Resi I hated the combat.

Still not sure what you want to hear? To me these games simply aren't scary. Maybe it's the weak monster design, maybe it's the ridiculous story which was always more hilarious than suspensful. It could simply be that a game that features so many weapons and shootouts empowers the player too much. I mean Resi3 had Nemesis, which was a pretty neat idea, but by the end of that game my only thought when he showed up was an exasperated "Oh boy, here we go again".

To me the sound design in Resi was lacking till, man I don't know which game. Maybe the GC game with the booty nurse. Compared to Amnesia or even Outlast, Resident Evil seems like amateur hour when it comes to using sound to build tension.

I am not going to talk about what the Resi-likes and games have become. Re5 was weak and silly. Re6 is a joke of a survival horror.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

You raise some valid points and for fans of the series similar to me I guess its a case of "one man's trash is another man's treasure" For me, I found the combat in Resident Evil (at least from the first to Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2) to be good mainly because it was made to be "realistic" in a sense that you don't feel like a one man army due to your movement speed and ammo count. Resident Evil always had a great formula of building a player's faith in a weapon only to strike down to size due to a monster or situation which has the same tension effect as not having one at all.

Sound design, for the weapons I wholeheartedly agree that they usually sounded like pea shooters until Resident Evil Outbreak and the two entries on Gamecube (Zero and Remake) but the ambience, especially the music from Masami Ueda and Tetsuya Shibita always made me feel uneasy. Even the tracks created for the save rooms in the game made me feel "Hey, you are safe for now...." that always clicked with me I guess.

Art design was top notch, I am a sucker for pre-rendered backgrounds. ReMake and Resident Evil Zero are ranked in my top 5 use of it in a horror game ever.....

Damn I am starting to ramble lol.....anyways I am saying that for me is each Resident Evil always had something that grabbed me into it with the GC entries being the best well-rounded packages for me. The Evil Within looks like it will be paying respects to it's predecessors instead of throwing away everything that made the genre great back in the day.

Like I said before, I am not trying to prove you wrong or anything because different strokes for different folks and I respect that because input from everybody is what developers need to hear in order to make their games better in the long run. I just wanted to share with you and the author some of the things old-school RE fans enjoyed so you can have a better perspective why we are excited for this release.

[MehmetAlperTR]

Rzep People are exiting about this game because this game is made by Shinji Mikami. Who is a Creator of a Resident Evil 1-2-3-4-Code Veronica- 1 Remake and Zero. RE5-6 was not from Shinji Mikami. He quit from cRapCom after RE4. And please read my comment at the upper area about this game. Shinji Mikami is one of the best about Survival Horror Game. He has got a lot of Master Pieces about Survival Horror. I know what you mean by RE 5-6. But those games are not belong to Shinji Mikami San.

First Pyramid head...now there is a Safehead? Interesting....

[NeoTribe]

Looks good.

[Matt666]

Wow people are complaining about 5 and 6 yet not 4 even though though it was RE4 that started all the action BS off, people who say 4 is good and 5 and 6 are bad (which they are) are being hypocritical and yet for some reason they don't seem to realize that 4 was action.
