Resident Evil (Questions & Discussions) Thread

I can’t for the life of me figure out why they didnt put strafing into RE4.

Too easy? I think the style of the game was meant to be that way so you can’t always see what’s around you unless you are looking.

The game really is a love-it-or-hate-it thing. Any game where you can beat up Mexican wrestler gorillas and midget-size Power Rangers is a-okay in my book.

Godhand… fun ass game, but fucking hard. Trying to beat it without dying is tough enough and reason to bust controllers. Nevermind those runs I’ve seen on youtube where the guys never use the Godhand amulet or whatever to keep the “kick me” sign on their backs the whole game. Shit’s ridonkulous.

Here’s a general question about RE4 (all versions) that I’m somewhat unsure about, and need clarification.

When you wear Leon’s RPD costume, does it automatically have the Tactical vest on it? Or not?

^ no, you still have to buy the vest. I wouldn’t worry about anything…the game is pretty easy…you get shit load of ammunition and health items

Don’t think so, I believe it even covers the RPD logo on the back when you have it on.

I was curious about this. I’ve had the game since it’s initial GC release, played it a bunch of times…But that always bugged me. I think it’s because on the Brady games guide, it said wearing the RPD costume had the same effects as having the Vest on.

New RE5 Scans. Shows a new character. A woman.

Mirror.

This game can’t come fast enough. It looks gorgeous, just like RE4 did for it’s time. I’m curious to see how this new ‘in-darkness/sudden bright light’ effects are going to work against you in the gameplay, it sounds interesting.

As for this “woman”, I’m hoping it’s Claire. I’d like to see the Redfield Family team-up again for some ass kicking.

Definitely. They’re my two favorite heroes of the series.

Do you think RE5 is going to return to a more classic, “RUN THE HELL AWAY” approach to enemies? Or will they continue with the “kicks, knives and all the ammo you can carry” style? I hope there are more “angry village coming after you” moments like at the beggining of RE4.

adding to that…

New Resident Evil 5 info from this week’s Famitsu #1

  • A new trailer will be shown in the very near future.
  • For now, Famitsu will show images and some info from one part of that trailer. (intro paragraph written by Takeuchi)
  • There’s a new female character, shown holding a shotgun and wearing a tank top and boots similar to the ones Jill wore in RE3.
  • In addition to areas that make use of sunlight as a gameplay dynamic, there will be darker, shadow-filled areas as well, such as a cavern where Chris utilizes a flashlight. There will be an intense contrast between light and dark.
  • Chris is shown using his knife, a sniper rifle above a bridge that’s above a river, and of course the handgun.
  • A few pieces of artwork are shown, such Chris fighting villagers near a crashed helicopter, that same helicopter flying amidst a smoke-filled sky, and Chris witnessing the helicopter being shot down. There’s also some kind of garden in the cavern with a giant hole above it, allowing the sunlight in.
  • Chris is shown holding a blond girl noticeably shorter than him in a building.
  • A picture of a chainsaw and the right leg of its weilder is shown.
  • Chris will be up against very powerful enemies once again, and this shot of some creature behind iron bars is reminiscent of Chris’s previous enemies, such as CODE: Veronica’s Nosferatu (although it was Claire who faced him) and the REmake’s Lisa Trevor. Those two creatures were imprisoned at some point as well.

RE5 will act just like RE4, meaning over-the-shoulder camera, attache case filled with stuff and people running at your ass. You haven’t seen the trailers?

RE4 style > OG RE style… imo. If RE5 is RE4++++hyper, ultra, then I’ll be happy.

Then you’ll be one happy man.

According to this, the new trailer will be shown on May 31st, on Gametrailers TV. I wish Spike TV was in HD, just for this show.

Any news on the resident evil cgi film? It’s taking foreeevvveerrrr.

I’ve been out of the RE loop for a while until this arrived: R.P.D Leon

1)Looks like another Escort mission(Oh Christ!).

I do think having to run Ashley around in RE:4 made the game harder,perhaps more interesting.After a point(Prolly my 2nd playthrough),I just got fucking annoyed with that Gameplay mechanic though.Especially the points in the game,where it specifically played into this(The one instance where you are in that Big Room and the Priests are rushing you down,and you have to roll a lever to raise some platforms or whatever.Annoying).

2)Looks like the Negro Chainsaw Man will be in this game :tup:

3)Hmmmmmm.Perhaps,MAYBE a stalker(Optimistically)?Realistically prolly just this games Garrador.

Game looks badass though.I hope they have more intimidating Monsters.I was only mildly aroused by Verdugo,that you fight while waiting on the elevator,and U3(AKA “IT”).Verdugo had an overall great environment to the fight,and U3 looked intimidating,but was actually Easy.

On another note,I think Leon needs to be the main Character of RE.Dude kicks major ass.

To me, the woman looks clearly African American or at least a native of this African region the game will be taking place in.

Is it just me? :confused:
