I'm currently looking for a new Xbox game and I don't really think there are any good ones out there right now, so I might reconsider Resident Evil 5. What I'm wondering is if there are any horror elements at all in this game or if the entire game revolves around shooting black guys in broad daylight.

I played a bit of the demo and didn't see any horror, but that might not be the same as the whole game.

if NEGROS are horrifying then re5 is the game for you. i don't know anything more about it as NEGROS is too horrifying for me

i just use my 360 to play rez when i'm high. other than that it is a very good paperweight. i keep my notepad on top of the 360 which is better functionality than anything else they added to the system.

I'll be honest and say that resident evil is more of an action survival game now! I don't see any horror in it like the older games, after resident evil 4 it kinda lost the horror...

A good bud of mine played through it recently and said that it's nothing at all like Resident Evil from start to finish and that he was never scared/frightened even once and never even really jumped. Like SupremeWarrior said, it's action survival.

He also bitched about poor gameplay mechanics, such as not being able to back up and shoot your gun at the same time.

This game has its weaknesses, and it's certainly not survival horror, but it's pretty tense at times. Especially in the mercenaries mode, where you're being chased by one of the big fuckers and you don't have any ammo. The multiplayer is very good, especially coop mercenaries!

The single player game isn't really scary. Even 4 had some tense moments, but this one isn't presented as well. The whole point of the game mechanics UPRC mentioned is to make it more tense, but unless you are new you won't be scared. That's not to say there isn't a lot of great stuff in the single player, as there are some really interesting locales, but it could have been a much better game. But yeah, Mercenaries is a great mode.

Potentially counts as action so if it does than APOLOGIES. But i thought Prince of Persia was pretty sweet. I really really enjoyed everything about this game, the graphics, the setting and, even though he was a bit of a douche, I even took a liking to the Prince. Plus it's probably quite cheap now as well. Probably far better games out there but this is the only one that came to mind that I've actually played.

if you like horror, dead space is a far better buy than resident evil 5. that game has such an intense atmosphere

It's still worth buying, I mean the multiplayer is quite fun from what I have seen.

dead space is incredibly clunky and counter-intuitive, at least for the pc. is it better on 360?

i've never played it on pc but on 360 its like resident evil 5 controls only you can MOVE WHILE SHOOTING!! the only thing that felt clunky to me was the melee attacks which were slow but you hardly use them anyway

i don't get your gripes about dead space, it's a really boss game imo

the control scheme is exactly what resident evil should've been doing and it's pretty great

It was ok but some shitty things like the crappy inventory system and bad ai got in the way a bit but I did like it better when playing with friends. I kinda wish it was longer too, it took me around 15 hours all together to beat RE4 on my first playthrough but RE5 was 9 hours but that was soley due to me and my friend teaming up every time I turned it on but even a solo playthrough took only 12 hours which is a little disappointing. Also, boy was the "Stand and Shoot" idea shitty for verses.

if any of you were 'scared' by a resident evil game

and you were older than 14

you are a manchild

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

maybe i'm a hypocrite tho but

doom 3 on the other hand was terrifying for the first half and dead space is shit-your-pants until the writing gets laughably bad

if you haven't played doom 3 i think it's on xbox live downloadables and is definitely worth playing, better on pc though

There is a Topic here Titled Rezzy evil 5 so, i was going to make a new one but......

OOooooOOooooooOOOOOHHHHhhhhhhhhhh

Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition
FUCK YOU CAPCOM!
From what i can tell, same game, with a chris flashback. Maybe with the multiplayer DLC they charge extra for unlocked already. I enjoyed Resident evil 5 as a game, kinda fun. Specially with a friend. but to pay for it again. Bastards.

EDIT:
A Random Article i googled.

hilarious

also remember those motion controls x360 and ps3 revealed at e3 that were basically a blow to the face for the wii because they were kinda better?

well i saw some less vague designs and test vids, including lbp and re5

basically lbp used the ps3 wand as a pointer to move shit and whatnot

while re5 used the wand like re4:wii uses the wii-mote

so re5:wii is on ps3

idk if this ALTERNATE EDITION will have native support for it even though there are no dates for the wand and all????

edit: you didnt link any articles about this

but i just read one and yeah the alt edition is re5 with motion controls and extra content

;d
