I love the running zombies. Should add a lot to the game, but the question remains if 1.) those are real-time shots and 2.) is that Chris Redfield of RE1 faire?

This video was shown for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, so I'm glad to hear it is coming to both systems, but the bad news is that I heard news that this is a so-called "target-render". Like many early game videos (Killzone, Madden, Ghost Recon 3) which means while the quality most likely will look the same in the final game, it is pre-rendered

Here's hoping the tank-like movement/controls is eliminated in part 5...

I think the control scheme ala Devil May Cry would work, minus the fixed camera.

I loved the DMC control system...I'd buy Onimusha in a heartbeat if Capcom didn't have the tank-like controls in that game...

Yup.. Most games are matching or coming REALLY close to their target footage. Target footage is slightly different that pure pre-rendered footage because it is designed to look like how the game will actually turn out instead of just looking impressive

Now, if they can make an entire Final Fantasy game look as pretty throughout as its cutscenes...Well!

Did you see the FF7 remake tech demo Square-Enix did for the PS3 demo? That shit was a cut scene in live action .

I want them to remake it since it's one of my favorite games of all time.

What the heck? I think so. You can pick up Re 3 and 4 for PS2 super cheap at gamestop. I picked up Re4 after Christmas for like 6.99 lol


On the other hand, Re3 was a bissshh to beat but its definitely worth getting caught up. IF you don't do any of those, at least get Codenamed Veronica and run through that real quick.

Veronica is a good game to keep you busy for a while

I still fire up my dreamcast once in a while and you can believe C V still gets some play

That being said, it does look purdy. I just dunno if I can play a fifth iteration of the series...because the tank-controls are awful.

The demo wasn't that great, but RE isn't really a game you can base your entire opinion off a couple minutes of gameplay. The controls were pretty wack though...

I didn't like the demo at all. It's a next gen console, how about some next gen controls?? Why the hell can't you make a turn without completely stopping, or shoot a gun while walking or running? There's no reason to have such poor control, it's either tradition or to artificially make the gameplay harder. I was so looking forward to RE5 but that totally killed it for me.

Same thing with Dead Rising, and MGS5. Clunky last gen controls ftmfl.

I recall reading that the director of the series has noted that adapting a MGS or Devil May Cry motion/movement would make the game "less scary and tense"...

The requirement for the tank controls adds an element to your stress...




That being said, I'm not a fan...and after playing 4 games for the series, I think I'm done. Pass on Part 5.

The controls on the demo sucked but the game was still a blast to play. The only reason why I won't buy this game when it comes out immediately is because Killzone 2 is taking up my time right now.

This game was pretty disappointing and anticlimactic.
