@geekgrrl:

Im still not sure what is surprising people about what these 'zombies' are doing. These are not 'zombies'. These are las plagas infected.

They can carry weapons, they can drive trucks. Im sure they could manage a dirt bike.

If Al Wesker is the bad guy though, I wouldn't mind seeing some classic T-Virus zombies fight/mutate with the las plagas, however...

GOTY 2009........

Is there any chance of Resident Evil going back to survival horror?

Anyway, I'm picking this up. Not sure whether to do PC or 360...

Ted

Looking good.. me wants now...
just got my RE4 on the wii for $9 used...

JamPearl

rofl, zombies on dirt bikes? who made this game, Rob...uh...Zombie?

geekgrrl

Sack Boy zombie? SOLD

iTravis

@Ted: Agreed. I miss the days of true zombies and the horror of old RE games. The news ones are a litle too action packed for what i want my RE to be like, but none the less i will probably buy this for the co op.

Pyrefly

@Ted:

I kinda hope it does....I wish It would have gone the way Dead Space did.

Action packed..but still scary.

Vecha

@geekgrrl:
For the last time, it's not zombies anymore.

CosmicElement

I always looked at RE games and shrugged. Not my thing.
This, however, looks awesome.

Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.

Yeah, I like the old RE, back when they were not all about action.

I really don't think this is going to be a scary game.

electronicthroat

Can't Wait.
Need somethin decent for the ps3.

I'm 33, old enough to have played a lot of games. Re4 is still on my "top 5 ever" list. Can't stress how badly I want Re5 to succeed.

evbartoszak

I hope Capcom delivers a Demo on the 360 sometime in Feburary.

They were pretty good with other Demos like Dead Rising, Lost Planet & Devil May Cry 4.

Psychotic Prankster

@evbartoszak: same.

NexusSIX

RE5 seems to get more and more over-the-top with every bit of footage that leaks out.

And that is definitely not a bad thing.

muckamuck

@Quicksilver4648:

It might be kind of nice, they had that single player kind of Horde mode type thing in RE4. That was kind of cool, see how long you could survive, etc. I'm sold on RE5 though, looks amazing.

s1L3nt_n18t

@Pyrefly: I have yet to see a good non-action packed survival horror that can fit the term "next gen". Unless, someone does something new, beyond the old flavours of survival horror, then it will never make it through today's market (ala Silent Hill: Homecoming). The game "Heavy Rain" is catching my eye, in the sense that it might give me that old feeling, despite it being more suspense than horror.

NexusSIX

Anyone else hoping RE5 has a co-op mode that places you against waves of zombies. It seems to be the 'In' thing to do now.

Quicksilver4648

@JamPearl: Very good deal. Although at the time, it was definitely worth the full price IMO.

NexusSIX

Technically, they are NOT zombies. They didn't die, then come back to life wanting to eat your brains, and they're not slow moving. They are more classified as infected, because they are "injected" with a parasite that takes over the host, giving them abnormal powers.

It's like the whole debacle between the Living Dead and the 28 Later series, how one is about zombies and the other is about the infected.

xAnarChisTx

@NexusSIX: indeed.

Masterpain22

@JamPearl: awesome. I'm still happy that I only paid $20 for this game for being GH on the ps2. There is so much on it, that it makes me expect more content from $60 games from this generation.

Masterpain22

Cant wait till the game comes out (Starts saving his pennies). So poor.

J3rdstkillah

Last i saw of this game, it just seems too similar to Resi 4. Resi 4 was great an' all but, if it's too similar then, i'm not that excited for it. Doesn't matter anyway, i don't have a console that can run it anyway :P

Steffanic

I wouldn't mind marinading her, you know what I'm sayin!?

Rondogg

Resident evil has officially become survival/action. Horror no longer has anything to do wit it. RE5 day one no doubt. But I am a little sad that it has steered so far away from its' roots. I'm sorry as cool as it is to have zombies on motorcycles, someone tell me how that's supposed to be scary.

Saliu

@NexusSIX:
I agree. Half the reason old RE games were scary was because the controls and camera angles weren't very good haha. If you up those two things, the feel and level of scariness decrease a ton.

I loved RE2 and Cod Veronica, but I enjoyed playing 4 more than both. So here's to hoping 5 is what it seems it will be.

KrsJin

It's called guano
zombie guano
eww

Bunn

that first pic looks like the start of some crazy tentacle rape hentai.

segamanxero

@Quicksilver4648: A co-op Mercenaries mode (per RE3, RE4 and all of Dino Crisis 2) would be superb. I'd be surprised if it didn't make the cut.

emag

@KrsJin: The controls in RE4 were almost exactly the same as in previous RE games.

Of course, the camera angle was entirely different. ;)

emag

@geekgrrl: If only Rob Zombie would make a video game, after all his music and movies top notch to say the least.

ValdaAlcmaeon

I guess its safe to say we're not dealing with zombies anymore considering they ride bikes and all. Why not just call them mutants from here on.

trailingedge

@CosmicElement: You guys keep telling yourselves that.

Lightman

Those are some sexy screens.

Sollus

@will52:
Look all around you.

DustySword

@trailingedge: Watched Land of The Living Dead?

syafiqjabar

@electronicthroat: Obviously, you never met the chainsaw guy and the regenerators in RE4.

syafiqjabar

that looks glorious.

AceofCase

Definitely getting this, %90 because of the co-op, %10 because I've grown up a lot since the last time a RE game came out. Scared the shit out of me.

@Quicksilver4648: And yea the zombie wave would be fking awesome.

mat1cs

GOTY? more like GOTG! (Game of this Generation)

ZeroEquat1on

this is a reason to buy a next gen console

BvomAKG

@Saliu: I'm very much with you on this one. It makes me incredibly sad whenever I see news about the other titles being ported to Wii in Japan and the comments about how 'oh, I'd play it if it was redone RE4 style!'. It just doesn't work, they're not survival/action, they're survival horror and it would kill it. It's sad :(

AraTobias

Is that poo?

Placentasaurus

@Saliu: I'm not being smart.. but if a zombie were chasing me on a dirtbike.. that would be pretty freaking scary. Your running from something that want's to kill you, how is that not scary?

--Core--

Man, I am so freaking excited about RE5, and looking forward to playing it!

--Core--

Judging by the look of the dogs, it looks like Wesker got his wish of mixing Las Plagas with the T-G Virus. ;)

VladimirRaven

There's nothing more scary than zombies on bikes.
