- The subject of Resident Evil 5 getting a remake has come up a lot in the wake of the RE4 Remake. I had never played RE5 before now, so I was interested to see if this seemingly divisive entry was one I was going to like or not. So in this video, I give my full thoughts on Resident Evil 5!

RE5 kicks ass on co-op. I love this game.
So many good memories of Resi 5 and 6 co-op with my roommate from uni. They arent perfect survival horror but they are a blast to play as horror themed action.
I love reaching the end of a level first and having Chris keep yelling SHEVA! SHEVA! HUURRRYY!
@@ericpeterson9110God knows I've tried to like resident evil 6. But 5 is fantastic co-op action.
@@tomatkinson4880 I think resident evil 6 is a good game when you’re playing with a good friend. And really I think any game is good when playing it with friends.
But I think the co-op experience is why so many people liked resident evil 6.
@@tomatkinson4880after playing 5, 6 was such a disappointment to me. The lighting is better in 6 but the art direction is terrible and the mercenaries levels are poorly designed compared to 5
Bout time someone puts respect on RE 5’s name
Shut up you git
It gets lots of respect these days. Phrase you'll always hear is "good game, just not a good resident evil game".
@@Ad-im1ne It still has creepy or unsettling moments and has similar gameplay to RE4 so it is a resident evil game at heart it just takes a backseat with horror though it still has a lot of gross monsters so once again it’s still resident evil at its core, horror isn’t the main ingredient in a resident evil game
@@Continuity-kp5lynot really
@@Ad-im1neThat's how I feel about Fallout 4.
Great timing. I'm literally playing RE5 right now. It still holds uo very, and it's arguably the greatest Coop game ever made.
Gears trilogy takes that cake.
wife and I played 5 through so many times. quintessential co-op game. she loved 6 mercs also.
Fully agree, RE5 is meh alone but coop it is easy, EASY GOD Tier~
Greatest coop of all time? It’s fun sure but daddy chill
Okay I love this game but to say its the best co-op game is such a big cap lmfao
the explanation for the 30min boss fight with the Uroboros Mkono is that the game being in 60fps now instead of 30fps like the consoles made it is weakpoint retreat faster causing his regen to be faster as well as soon as it retracted. its almost impossible to kill it without the rocket if you want to keep your sanity.
You can use RE4 controls in the options menu
I've always used the RE4 controls, I remember it being a huge disadvantage when playing online pvp but other than that they were great.
it works so well, too! the right stick while running works even better. i use it in both 4 and 5 to quickly snap my aim to a corner for turning quickly or targeting someone on the side of the screen, but re5 even lets you to it vertically and it's just so responsive
An incredibly good game. I just S ranked the professional levels this week on PS4 as I did on PS3 at launch. It’s sooooo good 😊
As an African I loved this game. My first playthrough me and my friend played co-op and we had so much fun coming home from school and jumping on our PS3s to play this game.
People in the west love ruining fun with identity politic bs.
Capcom did somewhat confirm an RE5 remake was coming, by teasing that there are 4 RE projects being worked on right now, and considering how well RE4R did its basically guaranteed RE5R is being worked on, along with RE9 and two other projects.
I read it was 5 projects. Hopefully Code Veronica and or Zero are among those games.
@@KegOfMeat haven't heard the 5 project part, only the 4. The more the merrier, hopefully the dont get overworked and rush these out
My guesses?
RE IX: 2025 (Ideal premise for a returning character: Sherry Birkin. If original 2 is still canon, designing the entire game around the unkillable, immortal, regenerating Sherry Birkin could be an interestingly bombastic idea.)
RE5 Remake: 2027
RE Revelations 3: 2028
RE X: 2030
@@cursed770 REvelations 2 mentioned a bunch of Wesker Clones (or siblings, I don't remember) with the main villain being one, so I imagine they were always planning to bring back Wesker in some form. Also they may end up changing RE6 in a remake, so either they will change Jake Wesker, or replace him, but its possible they will merely redesign him to look more like wesker at the very least.
@@KegOfMeat
Zero needs to be remade into a completely different game, lol
Fun factoid: The "tribal" majini looking and acting the way they do is actually specifically noted in a diary entry or something of the sort, and is a weird side effect of the las plagas infection. It's called out by a young member of the tribe, and specifically noted as being super weird how all of the adults start painting themselves up like their ancestors did.
Too bad many miss the note.
Yes, and Quiet had an in universe reason for being half naked in MGS5. Doesn't really change the fact that Kojima just wanted a half naked lady in his game and made up a BS excuse for it.
@@StarWolf5298 its utterly a stupid reason too, The plagas literally made them "revert to their tribal ways" which to me is even more insulting should have just put them in the game and not explained it at all.
@@EdgeO419I agree it's still problematic but it's not wholly unprecedented in the series. The Spaniards in 4 start using medieval weapons which is essentially "reverting to their primitive ways". But at the end of the day it's still a half baked excuse to have you fight tribal west Africans.
@@StarWolf5298no is not. Makes sense and I love it
I mean we also said that about RE4 and when the remake arrived we happily took it
I mean yeah, i love old re4 more but if the remake made people happy then i will accept that, also old re4 got a latín american dub mod and i love it, i know that remake has latín american voices but the mod was made by really beloved VA and i love vanilla more so yeah, i preffer vanilla.
4 was almost a brand new game imo.
As much as I enjoyed the RE4 remake, I hate that it's existence is pretty much an excuse for Capcom to just remake every mainline numbered RE game they released. No matter what you tell me, we should not be discussing if RE7 deserves a remake 8 years down the line.
The game got a lot of dubs. So far it's the only one that I think I can play in Mandarin Chinese
I agree. RE4 didn't need a remake but i wasn't exactly complaining it got one. Now we have 2 great RE4s.
RE5 is pretty good, the reason why the flamethrower wasn't working on the boss was because the 60 FPS Upgrade makes it so that the falmethrower phases through it. That's where the Rocket Launcher Strait is recommend.
wow that's crazy... reminds me of RE4 HD button mash being much more difficult 😅
I used the flame grenade strat
Yep. I always just blast it with the rocket launcher the second the fight starts
oh man, that explains why it took us like 20 minutes to kill him :D
14:30-14:55 I believe this issue is exclusive to platforms with better hardware, as the boss doesn't really have an issue dying to the flamethrower on PS3/360. Something about better frame rates just makes that boss way more durable so if you're on PC you can at least cap your FPS to make it more in line with how tanky it's supposed to be. For something like PS4 tho, rocket cheese is pretty much the only viable solution.
Or you can shut the hell up.
this reminds of dead space and how it was not letting me through the first door because my fps was too high and the physics engine was tied to the fps lmao
Not nessisarily
I think it may come to the individual playstyle actually! As was described J was using Assault Rifles and Shotguns
Bosses have a range of Damage Resistances
Uroboros Mikono has a default 30% damage resistance for every limb except main weak spot, which takes "normal" damage
THEN certain weapons deal modified damage, Shotguns only deal 40% normal damage, and Machine Guns deal 70%
Knives deal 300%
The strat is to use the explosive barrel, then one player flamethrower the core while other player hacks away with knife
It's definitely an fps issue because his weak points don't appear when using fire weapons at higher framerates. I had to lower the fps just to make the flamethrower make the weak points appear. This is also a problem with the Jill Wesker fight where you normally have 7 minutes. At higher fps the fight duration seems to shorten massively.
Usually it's the opposite on pc ports, high framerate makes you do more damage.
The Flamethrower Uroboros fight is actually the most fun coop battle in this game.
The thing people usually get wrong is that the flamethower itself won't do much damage to the boss. You use the flamethower to actually keep the boss weak points exposed while the other player/AI partner hit it's weak spots with conventional weaponry (the orange bulb things that emerge from it's tentacles while you burn the boss down).
The problem being the A.I., that won't shoot. It only works in co-op, and before this game, that was never a feature.
5 should've been a spin-off.
@@travisgeorge1553 dunno about How the AI perform with weapons in this Fight, since I always employ Sheva the Flamethrower duty when I play and Just discharge my Rifle at the weak spots. The AI partner keep the Boss stunned with Flames just fine
@@arthurpimentelcarvalho7833 I was a dumb kid at the time, didn't even cross my mind. So I resorted to the RPG trick.
Lol everyone knows this bit not rocket science or is it just use RPG for quicker solution nearly every boss in re
Can we just appreciate Chris Redfield in this game? Dudes arms are bigger then my will to live.
Resident Evil 4 especially didn't need a remake, but they made one anyway. Resident Evil 5 isn't as good as 4 anyway, so I fully expect them to remake it too. The real issue is they keep ignoring Code Veronica. That game is ass cheeks and desperately needs a remake.
they're in a rush to make money they dont give a shit what they fk up at this point cuz the toxic fanbase laps it up and shouts anyone down who disagrees.
Your pic, Gardetrace, is awful. Its not original. Trash
Amen brother.
I might be the only one but I really want a remake of RE0. Rebecca chambers was such a cool character but was wasted so much past RE0 and technically RE1
@@21HandgunsCome to think of it, why *did* Capcom decide to skip straight to the RE2 Remake?
12:30 If you equip the ammo and approach your partner, you hand ammo to them in parts instead of the whole stack. It goes "20 for handgun, 100 for MG, 10 for shotgun, 10 for rifle, and 6 for magnum", according to a Steam post comment by Snypor
I recently replayed RE5 with my girlfriend who hadn't played it before and it was a blast. It wasn't what people expected when it came out but its such a fun coop game :)
the first sequence where you try to run in the house to barricade. the first time I played that with my wife it was SO intense!!!!!!!!!!!
@@chancepaladin You're right, it was way more intense to play with her on normal difficulty than it was to play on professional with my brother xD
Just starting the video so can't comment on what is said, but we need an RE5 remake as much as we needed an RE4 remake, which wasn't at all. BUT, I am glad we got one and since RE4 and RE5 are basically the same from a design and gameplay standpoint, it would make sense to remake this too, and then of course RE6 would benefit from it to just bring everything in line with the modern era. But there is no need to ever remake RE7 and beyond.
@MarsPriest yeah, it makes me laugh when people praise RE4 as being one of the best games ever but hate on RE5. I get people not liking the co-op aspect, it is janky when playing on PS3/360, but the AI is much better today on last gen systems/PC, also give Sheva just a sniper and she will just hit 100% of her shots.
But it really is just the same game at its core, it plays the same, it looks similar, it just doesn't have a merchant
re4 and re5 are like 99% the same except 5 has co-op in it and the inventory change, slight camera change. I'm still not positive how their dogshit REengine is going to be able to support that.
@@chancepaladin bro if u think re engine is bad then u don't get to have an opinion because anything coming out yo mouth is retarded
@MarsPriestI assume it's the coop and setting of the game ppl don't like. Most of it is played in the bright sun.
@@randybobandy9828I think it’s because most of the horror aspects were gone. Tbf, RE4 still had horror elements such as the castle with the zealots, regeneradors, etc.
The only reason they'd remake RE5 is to make sure Wesker survives this time for a potential return to RE9.
And I assume that game will be out by 2026, celebrating the franchise's 30 years. So hopefully we get the 5 or CV remake by next year
One thing I did was redo the marsh section over and over to get golden eggs similar to re4 chicken and keep selling them lmao.
I agree it doesn't NEED one. But 4 didn't. And the Remake was awesome
Just a question: you talked about Sheva didn't use rocket launcher in the game but all of your footage, Sheva is in the Cover mode, which is more conservative. Do you know that was a command to make the AI heavy action focused(Attack mode)?
I hope he sees this!
11:20 this is actually HUGE!
As someone who loved RE5. I would play the “hoard mode mercenaries. I would always go for “animation kills” and during the animation I would open the menu and reload my weapons.
That mode was dopamine incarnate!
Neither did RE4, yet they remade it. So we're probably getting a RE5 remake, whether we want to or not. I just hope the coop will be as fun and will have a split-screen option
I feel like if Capcom is gonna focus on remaking RE games, they should turn to the ones that weren't well receieve and deserve to be remade like Code Veronica or Survivor.
CV was well received.
Code Veronica was actually better received than 5.
Code Veronica and Zero desperately need remakes. Way more then 4 did and 5 does.
@@KegOfMeat Zero doesn't need one.
Or you can shut the fuck up before I get mad and have to come and kick ass
The tribal enemies were explained in a note. It was from the perspective of a child in the marsh section. The child talked about either umbrella or tricell when they were giving medicine to the adults, and he hid to avoid getting it. Over time the child noticed the adults getting angrier and angrier and acting weird. Then the child noticed adults adoning tribal gear and thinking it was odd because there were no festivals happening to warrant it. The child then said something along the lines of the adults not appearing human anymore along with the weird behavior. Then the child was caught and forced to take the medicine, and the rest of the note was the child losing his humanity as the medicine he was forced to take was the proginator (i think?) virus.
did you know?... you can change the RE5 controls to RE4 style 🙂
re5 lost in nightmares can also switch controls to RE classic style.
And especially since it's om steam, you can even change them more to remake style
@@lalotime how
@Caes3r_ stream controller input. Just left click the game in library and enable it. Then you can change any controls.
I made re4 remake controls like the original dead space.
You say there wasn't really any big controversy right after talking about how every mainstream publication weighted in on it and even Capcom changed their development process because of it. So which is it?
I feel like what the RE4 Remake did well it is deepen it's lore on the story by adding more horror elements to what made the first game great
Oh yeah the boss at 14:30 it's basically a framerate issue given the og version in the PS3 and 360 was running at 30 FPS, so yeah, it is very common for Japanese devs to tie game logic to framerate so that's why that boss is basically broken, rocket launcher all the way, great video J, to this day I honestly still love this game
Nah don’t make excuses for them
There's two parts where I felt really hard how AI Sheva sucked, the battle against controlled Jill and Wesker, and later in that part against the two JJs
I played this game co-op with my best friend for the entirety of it. I didn't know the A.I. sucked. I didn't know that dialogue is not spoken while you are playing co-op. In addition, the Wesker final boss fight was infinitely replayed because my best friend and myself didn't know what to do. What needs to be done is spoken and performed by the A.I. partner. I feel like this is the game's biggest flaw.
I admire the amount of research you did, as well as the commitment to play through everything the game has to offer. I absolutely love everything about this game, story, voice acting, greenish over saturated filter, boulder-punchcing Chris…
Loved your commentary and insights, nice video!
In one of the environmental journals in the marshlands, there is a village boy who is scared because his village is degrading due to the virus, becoming primitive, returning ot their ancestral tribal nature. they Werent tribal savages before. only after the infection
I wish they made more levels in swamp area in RE4, it kinda gave RE4 vibe from village, but all this daytime levels, locations, zombies with guns etc, killed RE vibe. Im glad they kept some sounds from RE4. They removed merchant, weapon constumization is not fun as in RE4, also inventory is limited and you cant change weapon while game is paused.
If RE5 gets a remake I hope they dont change the location, but if they do then maybe Italy is a good spot for RE5
I agree... RE5 does *NOT* need a Remake, only the Partner Ai aged Horrible mAn....
But ya know what? RE Code Veronica really *DOES!* need a REmake
Hi mate, just found your channel & subbed. Great content! Can I ask, do you read from a script or is your commentary totally improvised? Because to talk ceaselessly, and at pace, about a game for half an hour is seriously impressive.
I think the reason why they want a remake so that the companion ai can be improved
Hahahaha.
companion AI is fine
@@chancepaladinnah its truly not lmao
Truly never understood people’s problem with Sheva. They expect the AI to carry them instead of the reverse. I give Sheva a non-upgraded pistol and nothing else (sniper in some sections) and do just fine on professional lol
@@usurperzo nah Sheva was a great character. Her AI just sucked in general(like most AI at that time tbf)
Mercenaries Reunion is where it’s at.
To make sheva more aggressive and use more powerful weapons, you need to hold the “come on” button until a menu shows up and select “Go”. He will then pull out her better weapons. Cover mode makes her more reserved
the pain I felt when I saw him shoot barrels instead of knifing them..
It doesn’t need a remake but it will get one and it will most likely be well received!
I remember I got RE5 on launch day and my cousin came over to stay the night and we stayed up all night playing it co-op and beat it in one sitting. Such a good time.
Fun fact: Resident Evil 5 is a much shorter game then Resident Evil 4, so much so that if you want the infinite rocket launcher, you have beat the game in less than 5 hours, which is very easy to do
Compare this to RE4 being like 12 hours long on an average playthrough
I actually got to meet TJ Storm at a convention and he was a really cool guy and even did a josh impression when I said I played RE5 one of the coolest interactions I've ever had.
RE5 is my first and probably most played RE game. Had so much fun with co-op. I liked the live inventory system. Nothing better than pulling off a melee attack while reloading in the inventory mid-animation.
You can also move around items and reload weapons from the inventory while engaged in other actions, like going up and down ladders or punching/kicking enemies.
About the uroborus boss fight, There's a bug with future renditions of the game that have the frame rate at 60 where the boss doesn't take damage correctly. The flame thrower doesn't deal the damage it's supposed to, and as such, leads to the boss not freaking dying.
I like that ' I decided to research where the controversy came from, but I'm not going to even name the author of this opinion'
@5:00 this inventory system was already implemented 6 years prior to this game, we have Outbreak to thank for that. And it was more annoying in that game too.
A classic survival horror tank control RE with real-time inventory, and it was also online co-op multiplayer, too. Shocking that it didn't get a shout out here, it's not mainline game, but it's still canon
I've had that oroborus glitch out and become unkillable several times, and I've had wesker at the end have the same thing happen. there's also a spot with the shipping containers where an enemy can spawn inside it and glitch things out. I do wish they could fix some of the more irritating defects.
the oroborus is supposed to have the big zits you have to pop, but sometimes either one of them's invisible or doesn't exist. and the animation's really bad on him too to show his bigger vulnerable spot. which is the same thing that happens with wesker.
RE5 is my favorite coop game. A remake - incorporating the RE4R mechanics - could be very exciting!
This is the second RE game I've played the most. New and current one is RE4R.
RE5 is the most polished RE game and so much fun to play (even much more than the remakes). I've played alone and unlocked EVERYTHING, both on PS3 back in the day and on Steam the last few years. Alone and with friends.
I just love it and I believe people just like to talk shit about it because internet.
I don't know how a RE5 Remake could be, but the team will have a harder job trying to make it better than the original (which was very naturally accomplished with RE4R, IMO).
I'm loving Capcom right now with streetfighter & resident evil. Keep em coming team! I'll play anything at this point
A remake with VR mode would be truly amazing.
I'm glad RE5 is getting more love over the years, i'm tired of hearing that this is the worst game in series, that is a straight up lie
Facts like did we even play the same game lmao
Everybody knows RE6 is the worst mainline title
@@gowaryRE6 is fun though imo
Sometimes I'll take fun over quality
Only the most delusional of RE4 or Leon fanboys say 5 is the worst, and they are still salty that 5’s STILL the best selling in the series. They are likely shitting themselves about a remake destroying 4’s remake
There’s an easy to install mod for the game that lets you disable the built-in piss filter with a toggle key, and good god the game looks so much nicer without it. there’s a surprising amount of color to the environments that get drowned out by the yellow/green filter, its worth giving it a look :)
The only reason Re5 gets the hate it does is because it just so happens to be the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time (Re4). It gets an unfairly review because of this comparison. Re5 took goods of Re4 while cleaning up some of the mistakes the game made. All in all, Re5 was a really good game. Re5 isn’t that scary because it’s suppose to be game about hope and revelation. That seemed to be the theme. Also this was suppose to wrap up the finale of the Wesker vs Chris story
14:30 Me and my friend had that issue when we played RE5 together and used the rocket launcher strat. It's some sort of bug, maybe tied to the higher framerate? But either way, the boss becomes invincible on PC. We know this because we used ALL OF OUR RESOURCES one attempt...
Question: what happens to guns that you buy, find or switch out??? Do you have to buy them again?? I guess theres a tab where your guns are in the store??
There's kinda like a chest function in between levels where all your extra weapons and ammo are stored. So you don't lose anything you picked up.
Im not sure if you seen it in the video but there is an inventory in between chapters that you can store things in.
@@bifem thanks for the info
I love the menu in this game! Fun fact: you can menu reload the gun by selecting the ammo for that gun in your menu and dropping it on the corresponding weapon to reload it. Works well for bypassing slow reloads and reloading during melee cutscenes.
Edit: Nvm. You said it. lol
Fantastic video of my favorite Resident evil game. One addition is 47 on that list is RE5 Gold which sold 2.4 million. Combine that with 9 from the original with the 3 you also mentioned from the rerelrase on last gen consoles makes it still the best selling resident evil game at 14.4 million (for now because in time I'm sure RE2R will pass it and likely RE4R as well). That's insane to think about!
I thought I was the only one that felt this way resident evil 5 doesn’t not need a remake at all. Crazy thing is capcom is still willing to remake it over code Veronica
because it will sell better i guess
To be fair, there SORT of is a final confrontation with Umbrella...in the Umbrella Chronicles game. It's an interesting thing, because it reveals that not only were Chris and Jill on the scene to put Umbrella down for good, but Wesker was there as well.
What non of the current RE can compete with is RE5 mercenaries. It has the highest skill ceiling of all the mercenaries. Much harder to maintain the 150 streak while haven’t massive time differential.
The game really is quite an experience to have, and fun fact before the first chainsaw majini if you angle a grenade throat just write you can actually break the lock without needing to throw sheva over there
I am a massive RE5 fan, ive played it on PS3, PC, PS4 and have done all sorts of runs
for it for years. It's unapologetically one of my favorite RE games and I have played the classics and I love RE Outbreak as well as a side note.
However I do believe a Remake should be welcome, often i am opposted to Sequels like I don't really want one for Bloodborne for alot of reasons I just think
Bloodborne is a very complete series as it is, perhaps you have similar ideas for RE5.
RE5 is amazing but it's been 15 years and everything that has been done
or yielded from RE5 has already been done, there have been spinoffs using the RE4/5 format and the things learned of it like RE6 and Revelations. While I don't think
everything about the recent RE Remake games are perfect adaptations, I think they do bring new things to the table about the original source material. When you think of it
at a macro scale RE5 is to this day still one of the greatest couch co-op 3rd person survival horror shooters of all time, there's not much competition because there simply arent many
that capture the same energy as this franchise.
Perhaps a similar game of the time that sort of does is DeadSpace3 but RE4/5 and DeadSpace have alot of cross pollination going on.
There is something special about the co-op horror shooter genre, i would even say Outbreak online is a very early instance of this genre, give it a try via emulator fan servers obsvr
if you haven't already. The dependency on one another 1 to 1, against the terrors clashing with the smooth co-operative combat actions and the interplay between players surrounding objectives
while also having moments for characters to simply enjoy taking in the world with one another is just a bit of a rare in gaming. I would love to see RE5 one of the best co-op survival horrors to do it come bac for a remake just to stir up the current landscape of co-operative shooters and offer both the industry and consumers something new to consider to maybe find new broader appeal with this genre.
I wouldn't mind if RE5 had segments that sought to be more horrifying legitimately, and I'd love to see more nuanced co-op dependency beyond just sharing items and ammo with one another online or guns offline. I really do appreciate some of the fluid instances that happen in outbreak where you might have to hold a door to prevent zombies from breaking in and over running your group when in doors, or even lock picking. I really did appreciate this aspect of Lost in Nightmares RE5 having more of this kind of gameplay where jill is the one who has the skills to pick a door lock. The players have to co-ordinate a bit more to kill specific enemy types, and while i do think these segments could be better it was a refreshing change of pace to the constant nuts to wall action of the main campaign. It has that sort of calm that befalls the original classic survival horror games but no mistake it is still RE5.
TLDR: I'd love to see an RE5 remake because I accept original RE5 for what it is, we've truly gotten everything we could get out of it i think and I'd love to have more of this format but
with new innovations that could possibly stimulate the broader games industry to have another chance to see that people really do like co-op adventure shooters with survival horror elements.
re5 was my first resident evil game and it holds a special place in my heart. me and my sister loved playing it, especially mercenaries
I clicked on the vid out of whim but mad respect for enjoying RE5 and not spending 20+min riding it's back.
Some of my fav childhood memories came from RE5 playing with my uncle and brother and I can totally agree that a Remake "would be nice" but it'd be totally content with how it is
Can't wait to see your RE6 vid!
For me, RE5 was always "co-op RE4", it can literally be summed up by that
I feel like gaming was booming in the ps3/360 era, everyone was trying everything. And i know so many people who only played re5 and re6. There are people who arent into horror games that love the epic story of 5. They had no idea who chris and wesker were but the took the story at face value. I would sometimes be paired in a call of duty lobbby and ask people hey do yall play resident evil. They always tell me 5 and 6. When i aske them if they ever played 4 (before the remake came out) they would always say "naaah man dat one feel bit too old"
I don’t think it needs one yet, but I would play the hell outta it when or if they remake it. They should remake Code Veronica, overhaul Umbrellas End and Operation Javier, then do a remake for 5.
But if 5 is the next remake after 9, I’d be happy to play it.
I used to play a lot of RE5, and one thing that doesn't get brought up a lot in reasons that it isn't so good is the equipment upgrade system, and by and large how your permanent inventory works.
The major difference between RE4 and RE5 is that RE5 is chapter based, letting you play each level individually. And thus you can grind completed levels for cash and treasures to max out your weapons. The problem is that your bulk inventory (that is to say whatever weapons you didn't bring into the level) and the gameplay are on entirely separate tracks, making your money and weapons progress permanent. This means not only _can_ you utterly cheese the entire game (with the sole exception of El Gigante at Home... yeah, I don't remember what it's called, either...) on a subsequent playthrough, but... you basically _have_ to! At least you can toggle infinite ammo off, but what's the point when a maxed out 1911 holds _a hundred rounds?_ Once you upgrade your basic handguns, they _stay_ upgraded forever until you sell them, and even selling your stuff leaves you with a buttload of money you're _not_ supposed to have in early levels. Unlike RE4, you can _never_ get a clean playthrough from the start without hard resetting your game data. You are obligated to either play New Game Plus all the time, or hard reset your entire game data. No backsies.
In RE4, your loadout was commensurate to your progress in the game. Thus, each save file only had as much progress as that file made. If you screwed up and mismanaged your resources, you had to live with your bad choices. By contrast, if you played well, you'd become a shotgun turret with legs. This is how every other video game I've ever seen handles things... except Resident Evil 6. But in RE5, you have one inventory that every mission had access to. And you get a chance to go to it whenever you want so long as you're willing to give up progress since your last checkpoint (which is basically all that dying does to you). And since your inventory will essentially bloat infinitely with any healing items or ammunition you fail to use up by the end of each level (or grab, restart, and drop off in your inventory if you're a cheating scrub...), you will stockpile _insane_ amounts of supplies and fully-upgraded weapons after even a casual playthrough. Let players have multiple inventory save files. How is any playthrough after the first supposed to even remotely challenge you when at literally any time you can duck out and visit your Lockheed Martin fairy godmother and return to the fray completely restocked? You're not getting these resources for your masterful conservation of what the game gives you. You get supplies by sheer attrition.
RE5 can use a remake. Especially the game play graphics, some story elements, etc. If they do as good as they did with the RE2 remake and RE4 remake, then it definitely will be pretty good.
I’m playing this game for the first time with a good friend right now and it’s been SUCH a great time! I really do love the game and think it’s such a fun experience, especially when playing it with a friend (the only way you should play this game). I wouldn’t mind a remake but let’s get a remake of Code Veronica or even maybe a Dino Crisis remake first!
That cave level was so annoying trying to see where you are going if Sheva has the light.
I lacked hardware that could run RE 5 when I was kid and actually wanted to play it, and when I grew up and had money, the online hate for 5 and 6 was well known and I essentially gave up on it. After seeing the game come up in the public eye again due to a remake in development, I’m actually really excited to play this game now that I have an actual gaming PC, and will probably also try RE 6 and give it a chance, especially because I know what it is going in and can adjust my expectations toward a campy action game and enjoy it for what it is.
11:30, I don't know if console can do this, but on PC you literally just drag and drop ammo into an appropriate gun and it'll be reloaded instantly, and you can do it during a take down animation too, if you do it efficiently, you effectively eliminate ALL reload in the game
People who complained about RE5 didn't really get it. It's literally RE4 with co-op, it's basically the same thing. The real issue is the weapons in my opinion, once yiu become a one man army the game not really RE so much. It needed more puzzle and less booms and I think the game woulda been more favorable.
Justin, will you redo the DMC games on a new hardware?
I really loved RE5 when I first played it in 2010. After playing RE4 Remake, I'm very excited to see a remake of RE5 with the new improved controls. It BETTER keep local co-op tho!
While the current dev team have proven capable of making good remake, it still feels like their talent is being wasted when they could be making great NEW games.
In my opinion none of them needed remakes they are all perfect.
Had a blast beating this on Veteran and Professional with a friend. Its an absolute rush playing on PRO
They pretty much teased it at the end of the RE4 Remake but yeah RE5 is definitely good! And wow you know Ruby of Blue personally?! Thats awesome!!
umm no ? re 5 is not good its a cod black ops campaign with african zombies is what it is, i really hated it.
@sarunas8638 Well I didn't hate the game. I enjoyed it for what it is. But it could definitely be improved with better shooting mechanics and AI along with a better story
Neither did RE4 but we got that
Just finished this last night. It was a fun time. I was never into RE games, this is the 2nd game n the series I've finished, the story was engaging, it didn't feel too outdated but it did some getting used to. Definitely will play Co op next time. On to 6
So I actually have a little story with this game. Every night when I was like 5 or 6, I’d watch my dad play this game, he was in love with this game and the series, beat it several times. That brought my love for this franchise, that I wouldn’t discover again til 7, afterwards I’d play the remakes and ever since I’ve loved this series, so much so I went out and got a real re4 inspired Bowie knife. This series means so much to me and it’s all thanks to this game.
My GOAT talking about my favorite RE game LETS GO
I am an identical twin. I grew up having to share a PS3, and this was one of my favorite games that I ever had and it goes down as the best resident evil in my eyes when I grew up and got my own consul for myself I still think that is the best resident evil and was just playing yesterday
Resident Evil 6 is an absolute banger with lots of problems. Excited to hear your thoughts
I love this game to death,i had so much fun playing RE5 with my best friends Coop in 2009,i'm addicted to the Mercenaries Mode of this game.
In the aura Bora fights you have to use the flamethrower at once keep the fire on him and she will shoot those eyeballs that come out from him that's how you kill him PS the
flamethrower is rechargeable from where you picked it
Re5 needs a better ui and shooting menachis
Exactly!!
Easily my favorite RE game. It's also the first 1 that I played to completiin in 2010 so that is probably why I liked it so much. There's also an "infinite resource" glitch. Not sure if it was eventually patched or not.
One feature not mentioned here is the ability to replay chapters, and the replay value to upgrade weapons all the way up to infinite ammo for all weapons. The rpg gets infinite ammo only from a less than 5 hour speed run where an infinite ammo high power weapons helps to achieve.
Starting a new game with a fully upgraded M3 shotgun with infinite ammo is awesome. Just laugh at the chainsaw guys.
If I remember correctly the 5-2 boss fight doesn't work properly at 60fps and its almost impossible to kill him. This boss fight was one of the tipping points for me where I was just fed up with the game. Even though I like RE5 I really hope we get a remake. I think it would benefit a lot from one
Please someone correct me if Im wrong. But im 90% sure the original PS3/360 release of RE5 still had the tank controls of 4 by default.
It was the newer remasters that introduced the strafing.
5 works well. It does need improvements though.
Ai companions needs an update. A recent playthrough of 5 for me showed my companion go through 5 healing items in less than 10 seconds because they just stood in front of the guy sooting at them.
Another is revamping the storage space. It felt limiting to me unless infinite ammo is active. And then it doesn't feel fair.
These things said I feel like using some of these new remakes for an example I would like it to be a cross between 3r and 4r. Inventory from 3r and gameplay from 4r.
J I would really love it if you gave The Evil Within duology a chance in the future when you get the chance. Evil Within 2 especially is easily one of my favourite survival horror games ever.
