They showed a demo of the game at E3, where they re-intoduced co-op mode into the series (which you can play over Xbox Live, sweet) looks awesome.

[Preach]

i don't like how some of the enemies look, and their numbers. i'm gonna be so scurred playing this game.

 

[Dogmatic187]

I don't know if you played RE4 Preach, but that shit happened ALL THE TIME. It was insane, the game was successful in scaring the shit out of me. and being one of the greatest games of all time, IMO.

I already saw that. Actually we should make an E3 2008 thread and list all the new interesting games coming out. Anywan RE series failed to impress me, I don't really like them but I don't like games with zombies and such.

I loved RE4. Everything I've seen from RE5 looks promising.

yeah played it through to the end once. now that i think about it i'm tempted to pop it back in. there were additional episodes i didn't finish and i almost feel like playing through it again.

yeah i remember one big dude you fight in a shaft, some sort of gate between two smaller valleys or something. you're in a confined area with woodwork all around you. when i first came to that encounter i was so fucked up from having played the game for a while already that i had to just quit playing for a while to calm my nerves lol. also, when you're barricaded in that house with some dude and the zombies come through the windows and down the stairs. that shit was intense.

i also started playing code veronica x a few months ago, but quit about 1/3rd into the game. i'll pick it back up again, but i remember being scared from that game as well.

one thing i just wanna hear thoughts on is the game mechanics for the fourth game. they changed the physics engine, so the game looks different, and the zombies behave differently. i'm not sure how much i liked it. the thing with these games is that the more things i don't like, the better the game, but i still find myself sitting there hoping nothing too scary is gonna happen while playing lol. like when zombies speed up and run towards you for a while, then slow down again. so when you have five zombies coming at you, suddenly two of them will start running towards you while the other three keep walking slow. once they're no longer in a straight line it's so fucking difficult to keep my cool so i can aim and shoot them down one at a time. normally i panick and go crazy with the gun. this next title seems to be an enhancement of the engine and mechanics from the fourth game, leaving more of the elements from the older games behind, at the same time, newer elements are introduced. i felt that some of the good old resident evil feel was absent in the fourth game. one last thing is that i really hate how the fourth game looked. pretty much all the game zones were boring to me. i disliked the whole setting in central europe. hoping the desert scenario is gonna work better for me. honestly, i miss raccoon city and mansions.

I got when it originally came out on the gamecube (yep... I owned one) and it blew me away, I liked that they changed so many things up, they finally fixed alot of problems (a terrible camera, for one) and caused some too (the claustrophobic feel was gone). But I thought they succeed more in the end.

I think you were refering to "El Gigante" who looks like he re-appears in RE5 from the looks in that trailer. and yes I remember when I first got to the part where you and the 2 others characters are trapped in the shed, HOLY CHRIST NUGGETS! I literally had no reaction, I must have died like 10 times, before I beat that.

God damnit, Preach you are making me want to play this again talking about it, lol. I actually bought it when it was re-released on the Wii a year ago, it was prety much the PS2 version, but with Wii controlls.

 

[Chronic]

Finished it about 5 times

I have a save game where you can play Pro with 1 of 3 suits, have full stats and enough money to buy the unlimited ammo gun and rocket launcher and pretty much any other weapon + some sci-fi gun that directly kills Las Plagas in case I ever want to finish the game and kick every living things ass.

God I just came.

Too bad you can't recreate that feeling you had the first time around, when everything was eery and unfamiliar.

Left 4 Dead, on PC is gonna be a better zombie apocalypse game.
