If you must know my brother thought it was shit aswell honsetly if you have an xbox 360 download the demo and see it for yourself chris's campaign was exactly what I said my brother said the samething

The franchise wasn't scary to begin with. But i agree they has been butchered to the point you no longer recognize it.

Resident Evil jumped the shark when they caved and put Chinese and Caucasian zombies in 5. RE2 and Code Veronica are good for nostalgic reasons, but the only actual playable game in the series is 4, which is one of the top 20 of all time, no doubt.

Watched the new movie last night and although I am a fan of the games and movies, I have to say it was dreadful. I have e a code for the demo, but after reading some reviews, I just cba to d/l it.

For horror movie i always have this gut feeling like this; if it's on cinema, it won't be good. But seems like Resident Evil the films are more toward action sci-fi. Maybe as a no-nonsense action film, it's quite decent.

Oh, yea, totally 'decent'. It won't surprise me if they suddenly bring Enterprise in, or maybe The Mask as an infected zombie.

So.. Everyone hates it? And will there be PC demo at some point? Res evil 5 was pretty good for a game. Nobody really expected that it would go less actionish? It was almost full on action game in second one already.

here is new information on re6 pc

I kinda read it but usually I don't say it but those fucks.

I haven't played horror games in ages, but I've heard Slender is pretty tense.

RE:5 just went 50% off at GG. Still not sure if worth it. -__-

Bump

To any of you did not play or see the demo here is a vid of chris's campaign:

I like RE1-3 had a lot of fun with those when I was a kid, even replayed them not too long ago. I lost interest with the franchise after that, and it seems to have been getting steadily more ridiculous since, at least as far as story goes.

I don't have anything against the new style of resident evil, the franchise was always going to need a kick in the pants to outlive raccoon city. I have seen footage of Leon in RE6 and thought it looked pretty decent actually. It gave me the impression of something like an old meets new reboot; new city, new style, and you're trapped once again. I could probably dig that.

Massive contrast to the video I mentioned above. Can't say it appeals to me in the slightest. But I did spend half the video shouting at whoever is playing it. Seriously, does that guy have no comprehension of how to play a game, let alone present a video to an audience??? It's a combination of button bashing, running like a headless chicken and the occasional epic fail haha. As long as he's having fun I suppose, judging by the comments he likes it a lot.

This article makes me shed tears of joy

and this comment from the sites editors (its not jim sterling)

"The split on Resident Evil's controls seem to be between people who think that videogames should be ALWAYS impose as few limitation on the player as possible (who hate the controls), and those who appreciate that game design is imposing limitations on the player (who appreciate the games for their unique style of play).

The split often breaks down to those who play games for purposes of escapism, and those who play them for purposes of getting to know the game designer through their creation. It's "ARGH THIS GAME SUCKS! I JUST WANT TO KICK ASS!" audience and the "Whoa! It's amazing how this game only needs two slow moving enemies and a tough but fair set of limitations can scare the living crap out of me!"

This split is fundamental to the current climate of gaming. It's the split that has caused Resident Evil 6 to be something of a mess. it's this split that has so many "AAA" games looking and playing identically, while smaller games get more and more differentiated.

It's the split that divides people who play videogames because they love videogames, and the people who will abandon gaming as soon as human beings devise a more effective form of escapism."
