I haven't really followed the series. I never played RE4 but watched a friend play through most of it, and just watching it built a great sense of tension.

Started to play RE5, mostly in co-op, and is the most fun I've had in a 2-player co-op experience on a console so far. While it may not have the 'scary' factor, it does a great job at building suspense and tension.

The demo really turned me off of the game and almost put it onto the 'meh, I'll pass - maybe rent it', but so far I'm glad that I purchased it.

I was 21 in 05

for a game to be classified as a horror survival game.......the horror falls flat. Just play the game

RE4 was much scarier than 5 (I like how 5 isn't as scary because i'm a fradey-cat haha).

I really like the co-op in 5 though, it's done really well. I thought that not having the game 'pause' when you go into your briefcase was gonna be shit, but it's not that bad.

I hope it will come out for the wii some day... (playing with those controls is amazing... RE4 on wii FTW).


I guess the suuuuuuper long wait for 5 to come out made everyone's expectations rise even higher.. including mine.
But I'm still gona play it

Nope, still need to stop and aim - I don't mind it actually.

RE2 is one of my fave games of all time. Back in the day it was a huge reason why I moved away from N64 and bought a Playstation.

Was a huge RE fan when Code: Veronica came out (still the best "classic" RE in my opinion). REmake and Alpha were fucking awesome too. RE4 took the series to a whole new level though, and while it wasn't as scary (even though there were some moments that gave me the creeps) the overall action of the game was second to none.

I really wanna try RE5 but unless it comes out for PC I won't be playing any time soon.

(PS. Stop whining about the "you can't run and shoot at the same time. It's Resident Evil FFS. Not Halo )

Code: Veronica was amazing ... I loved playing time attack with Wesker. Only weapon was the knife!

Anyone beat Tofu Mode in RE2? I only got The 4th Survivor Mode and didn't do to well

I bought it, and its still in the plastic. I'm gonna play it next week when my schedule is cleared up. I have a lot of expectations out of this game however, the tension part is what really makes the game worth while. The feeling that you have no ammo, cannot find a typerwriter and you health is almost gone make RE a good game. RE is very linear game in which you basically only have one path to follow. Although there are few outcomes out of doing or not doing things, the game is pretty much a platform 3rd person.

I hope the game is a lot of fun, graphically it looks incredible, but I really hope the storyline is good, as well as the horror factor. Play it in the dark at night and volume up, it makes a difference.
