- VarelseSoul, on 10/14/2008, -1/+29Damn it! This game is so ***** racist. What were the producers thinking, killing black people instead of Spanish people this time!

- farfromsubtl, on 10/14/2008, -1/+19After playing through RE4 on the Wii, I feel like any other control scheme would be cumbersome to the genre.

- painting, on 10/14/2008, -0/+13they added a black character so it doesn't seem overly racist to shoot black zombies.

- gamermatt89, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5"got some rare things on sale stranger."
- zip000, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5I can't wait for this to come out for the Wii. The first RE game I played was RE4 for the GameCube, and it was awesome.
I've got a toddler now, so I'll have to wait to play RE5 after bed time I'm afraid. Little too gory for the munchkin. - xsecretfiles, on 10/14/2008, -1/+6How long have you guys been fan of the series for??
I fell in love with it since I was 14 years old, Resident Evil 2 was my first one, and I've followed the series since then. that's almost 10 years.........
I can't wait for this one!! - treedude, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5You can't keep the old formula forever. You got 4 games and 1 remake out of the old style. It was time for a change. I loved RE4. I hope RE5 isn't too much different from RE4.
I think we need a RE pack for the XBL Arcade. I would love to play through some HD RE2 before 5 comes out. - KingGorilla, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5i hope so
- Tddupre, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5Time to change pants
- MisterThirteen, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Why did they turn the series into a shooter :

- 0tis, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Those aren't zombies, those are just black people...
- inactive, on 10/14/2008, -5/+9i like how they kill zombies in this one
- gbro, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4They sure are excercising their right to bare arms, don't worry about infection or anything, you're only fighting zombies...
- ModernTenshi, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Man, thank God for these powerful, HD gaming systems. I've never seen brown rendered in HD so well in all my life!
Srsly, I agree with a friend of mine: all these shooters are starting to look the same with the brown and bloom. - Chadzero, on 10/14/2008, -1/+5ZOMG Zombies with AIDS!
- MrFisty, on 10/15/2008, -0/+4I hear the final boss challenges you to a dance-off in a graveyard.
- eelwrolyat, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4I absolutely agree. I want them to go back to actual zombies, but I guess it's all part of the storyline. I like the over-the-shoulder shooting though.
- 1longtime, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Left 4 Dead will fill that hole in your zombie-loving heart.
- Amadeus2490, on 10/14/2008, -4/+8I don't really like the direction the series is heading in since part 4; the over-the-shoulder, action thing is the complete opposite of what the series was originally intended to be; it no longer feels claustrophobic, or scary. Like the Hollywood scary movies, the series now apparently relies entirely on jump scares.
I miss Jill. - seansmyth, on 10/13/2008, -1/+5Like the humor on slide 8 - (said with a very slow voice) 'What out, zombie is behind you.'
- MrContent, on 10/14/2008, -1/+4Why is Lara Croft in Resident Evil ? Or is that just Angelina Jolie?
- bcbrin20, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3makes me wanna break out the dreamcast for RE: Code Veronica.....
- bakatrinh, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3Did you play RE4? There was barely any jump scares, much less than RE1-3. I think the old school RE depended more on environment, imagination scare, and it was a really slow payoff. I mean you're trapped in this Mansion and you gotta run around reading journals to see what happens to some guy and then the guy jumps out at you from behind to scare you. It was a really slow build up. The backward control on the old ones probably added to the scaryness. Everyone remembers the part where all those crows swarm at you, it wasn't scary because they're zombie crows, it's cause you feel you might die from not being able to aim properly. In RE4, it relied more on situational scary, most of the time you're backed up against a wall with hordes of "zombies" coming at you. You're trapped in a house with some Spanish guy fending off zombies trying to kick the doors down. You're in the back of a truck driving away as zombies are chasing you. I don't know about you but RE4 scared me more than the old ones. The game had better pacing, better control, and it wasn't overcomplicated with it's puzzles. It basically cut off all the slow buildups of the old ones and goes straight to the payoff everytime.
- chewbacca77, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3Five games and a remake technically... RE1, 2, 3, Code Veronica, and 0.
I love the originals (I'm playing them all through again now), but I like the new version a lot too. If you really boil the games down to the basics, RE4 isn't that different from the originals. The biggest difference is in the perspective and the aiming.
The fixed perspectives in the originals was very cool, and it could set you up for some tense situations, but it was often a hindrance. I hate it when I'd back up, the view would change, and I could no longer see my target.
And in my opinion, the aiming is pure improvement. I can't count the number of times, that I'd be hitting the wrong zombies, or worse, try to get headshots. In RE3, when they introduced explosive barrels in the environment, I ended up hitting zombies nearby the barrels instead of the explosives theselves.
Inventory is probably the last biggest change. I jokingly call the originals "survival horror / inventory management" Holding only 8 items (or even only 6) does nothing but waste your time. Whenever you need a key item, you have to run back to a box. Whenever you're low on health - back to the box.
I'd say the majority of the changes are improvements. - surfacewound, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3"think she meant she is a female zombie, who kills. Not a zombie who kills women. :)"
No, actually it would mean that she's a woman that kills zombies. The confusion is caused by the lack of hyphenation; it should read, "zombie-killing" women/woman. -
