Resident Evil 5 - 2009 Trailer

I wonder if they realize they made their bad guy look autistic.
 
Resident Evil has really gone downhill. Since when did a suspense/horror puzzle-solver become a cheesy action-fest?
 
The way I view it, it appears that they saved Resident Evil from falling out of grace, did you even play Outbreak? it was the classic gameplay but it was clear they had lost their touch with it.
 
i never really got into the whole 'Resident Evil' fad. It does look like a decent game but i'm not throwing $60 on it
 
If it's anything like Resident Evil 4 -- and it certainly looks to be -- it will be awesome, white-knuckle fun. The gameplay will hopefully make up for the shit-fest of a storyline.

Resident Evil has always been cheesy. Action-fest? Maybe not, but the way I see it they've traded horror for decent gameplay and I'm not complaining.

Still looks like loads of fun.
 
Man, originally I was going to get this day one, but the demo left me feeling decidedly meh, as did Killzone 2's demo. So now it looks like Street Fighter IV and Demon's Souls will be my only "next-gen" purchases for a few months. Weird how things work out not at all as you may have thought they would....
 
So, what do you guys think about Jill Valentine(The woman with the cloaked face at the end), will she 'turn good' in the end? Or will she be killed by Chris, hence the previous glimpses of a Jill Valentine grave?

Sam and Max. A Vampyre Story. (Really any adventure game.) Bioshock. God of War III will not have any of the cheese either--that story is actually worthy of the myths upon which it is based.

Wait - you're glad that a horror series has traded out the horror? Did you think that through before you typed it? Go play Call of Duty or something if you want a "decent gameplay" action game. Resident Evil without rotting zombies and puzzles would be as stupid as a movie based on Doom but with a virus outbreak instead of creatures from a portal to Hell. Oh wait...
 
Holy shit, just listened to it with audio.

John Williams music? Horrible, horrible voice acting? A female villian sounding like she belongs in James Bond?

Sorry, this is not Resident Evil (minus the voice acting, anyway.) Where's the horror and suspense? Where's the puzzle-solving and RPG elements? This looks like its going to turn out to be a complete piece of shit.
 
Exactly. If they wanted to make an action game based on some crazy people and shooting, they should have done it and called it something else. If they wanted to make a Resident Evil game, they should have made it about Umbrella corp, rotting zombies, and puzzle solving. It's the same with that Doom movie (to re-use that example) - they should have called it "Virus Mutants on Mars" and it would have been fine. But to call it "Doom", base it on a popular game, then take out the very theme of the story is plain retarded. It's as stupid as making a James Bond movie, but with a female James Bond, and have it as a comedy about motor racing.
 
You registered to shoot down RE5? Who cares if they dropped what you wanted, just let go of the game then. There are other games out there that would suit you. You want a RE game like the old ones? Well then go f***ing play the old ones.
 
I bet that gask mask girl at the end is Chris's sister Claire Redfeild.

No, I didn't register to shoot down RE5. I registered about a week ago because I like the HL series. I had nothing to post about however, until I saw the extreme amount of stupidity in this thread, and felt like addressing it. When someone basically started saying "well I'm glad that this survival horror series no longer has any survival horror in it" I just had to say something.

As for letting go of the game - when did I imply I was looking forward to it? I merely pointed out the stupidity of taking a game, and removing everything it stands for yet still trying to call it the same game. They didn't "drop what I wanted", they dropped the very things that RE is known for: survival horror, puzzles, and zombies. You must have an IQ over 7 to understand why that's pretty stupid, but perhaps you don't qualify?

Your swearing was not required.

That or, you know, she's already dead. Assuming this new virus actually takes effect post-humously. For my money though, she - A) Begs Chris to kill her in a moment of lucidity after seeing what she's become, or - B) Is killed by Wesker after she out-lives her usefulness. Both pretty stock standard action/horror deaths. :P

All I said was I had no complaints that the series had gone this way, I didn't claim it was a good thing for everyone or over-generalise other people's gaming tastes (HAY GO PLAY GAYLO LOL). I have no real attachment to the original games, and I enjoyed RE4 and the RE5 demo, so yeah, I'm glad. Nothing else to it. I do agree with what you said about branching out the series to preserve the old gameplay/style, but hey, it was not to be.
 
The trailer was very James Bond mixed with Indiana Jones. If it's like that, and uses the same music, then it does not seem like the sort of game that would frighten you, lol.

That makes even less sense. I myself have AS and have met many others with it, none of them fit the 'bad guy' you claim seems to be 'autistic'.

But let's stop going off-topic and simply call the bad guy in question a sociopath.

By game I meant series, the series has obviously changed so let it go.
 
Or choke down one of the 50 remakes Capcom have rattled out over the last 3 years. :p
 
Precisely. I think if the game is anything like RE4 it will be enjoyable.
 
Look, he's got the big forehead and scrunched up features like the kid I know with aspergers has. I don't know which disease is which, the guy looks messed up.

Wow - you STILL don't get it. I am merely pointing out why what they are doing is retarded. I would do the same thing if I saw someone putting square wheels on their car. I never once mentioned any personal affection for the series, so I have nothing to "let go".

Let me put it another way. What if they made a Halo 4, but made it a racing game with 1930's cars? Would you think that was retarded? Or what if there was a new Half Life game, but it was a point and click adventure game starring "Garry Seaman", no headcrabs, zombies, guns, or strange creatures of any kind, and it was set on a boat where the object was to catch fish. Would you ask why they had taken away the very things that made those series' what they are? Sure you would. So why can't you see that with this new RE game?

The RE series STANDS for -Survival horror, Rotting zombie creatures and people, Evil corporations, and Puzzle solving. They have removed those things of course, so they might as well have called this new game "Crazy brainwashed people in Africa shooting spree".
 
Well maybe square wheels are better for climbing stairs. Maybe a Halo racing game with 1930's cars would give the series something to actually make it good. Point and click adventures are cool fyi. Sometimes series need a change to survive, which is what Capcom did with RE4.

I don't see how this game isn't survival horror from the trailer, there are zombie creatures and people, evil corporations and if the game is anything like RE4 there will be puzzles. Still seems like it stands for the same thing imo.
