Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition Review | NZGamer

Now, in time with PlayStation Move arriving and a fourth Resident Evil movie in cinemas, Capcom have released the Gold Edition of Resident Evil 5. Obviously the main core of the game remains unchanged, but for those who haven’t had the opportunity to play RE5, the Gold Edition packs in a lot of extras with a great price tag.

Good solid review.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

yea, PlayStation Move support, thats like 10% itself

[nix]

i might pick this up along with Move. i was afraid of 'tank-like-response'.

It is worth it. I had RE5 and then traded it for the Gold Edition when that premiered. It had been on the shelf waiting on the Move launch. Like many gamers I find the B Control configuration preferable. It has been a blast and alters the dynamic of the game. And I find myself headshooting far more than my original play though.

sounds cool.. thanks mate!

[8-bit]

It is worth it. Move adds much to the gameplay and I actually prefer using move over the DS3 with this game. It is awesome.

@morganfell Same here, I like to play using the B control scheme and I also find myself getting a lot of head shots.

Just bought this yesterday, will hopefully try it out later tonight but if I don't get the chance, then tomorrow.

I like it, good stuff and I agree with pretty much everything. Although I still think part 4 was better

[rekof]

Resi 4 is better,..has more atmosphere,.. lol but I still have like 200hours on resi5,.. coop is so fun! and resi4 on the wii ,.. is so great,.. that fucking game,...(i have like 4 versions lol) is one of my favorite games of all time,.. (Demon's Souls beats it by a small margin,..)

Crapcom ,.. give us a patch for a standard version,.. WTF greedy bastards,..it is
costing you 0000000 fu u really FU CAPCOM ! So actually, we day 1 buyers are shit,.. fu,... damn you're making me hate my favorite game company,..

I was a bit disappointed with the Move control setup. It's like RE4 whereas I was hoping for a bounding box type of aiming like in Killzone 3. I wanted to use the Move to turn the camera and the character.

Fortunately I am enjoying Gladiator Duel using two Moves, I don't care much for RE5 anymore :)

[Close_Second]

...its not enough to make me revisit RE5 again.

I still remember the infected running full steam at you only to start moving slow when they get closer. Shooting the crap out of them and it does not even result in any visible damage yet alone a blood stain.

I would have been more excited to see an HD makeover of RE4.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

With HD ports of PS2 games coming to PS3 more and more often, I can totally see it coming, and with Move support.

[Panthers]

I liked RE5 more than 4, but I think that was just because the story was more linked to the main story line and had a lot more Wesker in it.

[DigitalAnalog]

I'm sorry but....

WHAT?

-End statement

[IrishYamato]

I agree, RE4 was the best in the series. RE5 was doomed the second they said it was set in Africa. They had to change the whole game and add in the extremely annoying Sheva. I knew the game was screwed after people started saying it was racist for Chris to be running around shooing black zombies.

[IrishYamato]

I meant 'shooting' black zombies LOL.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I don't whink it was doomed for being in Afrika. RE4 wasn't doomed for being overseas (Europe). Also I don't find Sheeva that annoying, we have seen many AI fellows that were far more annoying (and useless).

What I would really prefer is if Capcom could be a bit more ballsy and name it something else than RE, or at least make those shooters named as the spin offs they actually are (Gun Survivor, after all the tank gameplay comes from RE Dead Aim, which is a GS game).

I really think it's about time for Capcom to revisit some good old RE formula. Less bullets and more fear. But considering how much Capcom has sucked this gen, I won't hold my breath...

EDIT: I just remembered how even Outbreak games were more fun.

[Sarcasm]

I was also disappointed in RE5. Something just wasn't fun about it.

[clintos59]

Screw u capcom. I mean their so effin greedy, they wont even patch the RE5 game we own already. I mean they did this on purpose so we can fork out more money. Great review but f**k u capcom.

[IrishYamato]

I wasnt saying that the game was ruined because of being set in Africa. It was ruined because some website was saying the game was racist and they had to make changes because of it. Id bet Chris was supposed to team up with Jill on this game, after he freed her from Weskers control but instead Sheva was added in. I put more bullets into the back of her head then i put into the zombies, thanks to her AI.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Oh I see... I was thinking you were talking about the actual storyline being compromised (many said it back in RE4 and Code Veronica, as the virus didn't directly outspread from Raccon City in the games).

Sheeva isn't the sharpest tool of the set, but her auto aim can make your life really easy if you have some high power weapon with ammo to spare. I just hated how she would waste my aid sprays. I'm not saying she is good too, I would prefer a bigger backpack than Sheeva.
