The End

I fall into the won't category. I just like Milla Jovovich

Same thing with RE4, I couldn't move and shoot. That pisses me off to no end. If you're a professional zombie hunter, you'd think that you could run and shoot at the same time. Giant what the ****.

Personally I love the demo and can't wait for the full game. I understand why people would not like the no moving while shooting. All I can offer is an excuse - Like Metal Gear Solid 4 (which you can shoot and move) I think the small things like can't shoot and move are in place to differentiate the game from FPS's. They don't want you running and gunning. MGS4 is similar in that the game makes it hard for you to blast through it in first person (which its easier to aim). Now I used to swear that Dead Space was the same game engine as RE4 but now I see and know I'm wrong.

Ok enough with the bad now for some good. RE5 does have all the charm of RE4 (one of the best games of all time - no need to argue it won awards) plus the added bonus of coop. But its forced coop like L4D. If you get seperated from your partner and ONE of you dies you both must start from the last checkpoint. Unlike Halo and L4D where you will just spawn at the next point if whoever is left can hack it alone. Even the demo gives you that great 'Back to Back' fighting style. Forces communication to solve your problem whether your being overwelmed or running out of ammo. Beating the demo did teach me and some of my parnters where to be and when. This is then pasted through communication while playing with others making the amount of retries decrease. In all its going to be a great game and a great challenge. I hope some more people have positive things to say.

PS. Interesting fact Devil May Cry began production as Resident Evil 4!

Really, the ONLY thing that's holding me back from that game is the ability to not move and shoot. I LOVE the game, it looks fantastic, runs fantastic, etc. It's just, who in their right mind wouldn't move and shoot at the same time.

Very interesting. Devil May Cry was great. I never played the sequels though.

**wildcat2000** · 02-03-2009, 10:50 PM

I didn't like the demo because the controls were not developed for the controller and not like being stuck while shooting, I would rather like to move when I am shooting at zombies.

Game's out, I like the direction they took with RE5 - I am pissed off that they are charging $5 for "DLC" which is just some 2v2 online Versus mode that should have been packaged with the original game.
