Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
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.
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.
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 🤷♂️
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
Try to cope with your friend through terror with this list featuring the best horror Co-Op games you can play today.
An exploration of whether RE5 is truly the most logical next step for a remake, or whether there are others in line who deserve their day in the sun.
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.
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
I didn't realise this game sold so well. But, I did see a TON of adverts for the game on TV when it launched so, yes, marketing definately did help.
EDIT: Does anyone know which console the game sold more copies on? The TV adverts were always solely focused on the Xbox 360 version, so it would be interesting to know.
Not marketing.. coop made this resident evil a success this and the brand
Without coop this game would have sucked in my opinion
How about the fact that it's a good game, or a long running franchise, or it added a new gameplay feature? I saw all of the people whining about how they hated the controls and such, but there are people who actually will play games that are different, and not Halo. So quit acting surprised that it sold well. It was a good game, not everyone hated it.
