I just beat the Resident Evil 5 demo/beta.

Its actually really good. Its only a two level demo, single player or co-op. But i played it on co-op, and sadly, i cant imagine this game being hardly any fun at all playing through it alone. It relies even more on action than Resident Evil 4 did, and at times it feels like its a shooter (until you run out of ammo lol). It reminds me of the combat system of Resident Evil 4, and the co-op system of Resident Evil Zero (awful game...).

For co-op, i think i will definitely pick this up. But it doesnt look too promising when it comes to single player. Then again, its the early version of the game, you never know.

My biggest complaint though is the controls. After playing Resident Evil 4 for the Wii, i could never have imagined going back to the regular controller to play a Resident Evil game. I just beat RE4 for the second time a few months ago, so im still used to those controls, which are far superior.

But i wasnt going to get this, if my buddy ends up getting the game, i will too. Co-op is a blast.

I'm pretty excited about RE5. I was watching the trailer for it on RE:Degeneration the other night and it looks awesome. I didn't know it was coming with co-op so that'll be pretty cool. What system did you play the demo on?

Ugh. Why don't they admit they're just making more RE: Survivor games?

more of a shooter than RE4? but RE4 was totally a shooter

well... it was a shoot them in the knee, then kick them, then knife them to death on the ground...

mmm... need to go play some more on Professional

Im just talking about one of the demo levels. But basically its waves and waves of people (lasts a REALLY long time), and once you're allowed to move around, the enemies never stop coming (in smaller amounts).

Its more action than RE4. Which had a ton of action lol.

Re: I just beat the Resident Evil 5 demo/beta.

just tried it

basically exactly like RE4 in terms of controls and items and all that jazz

they actually managed to make the menu system worse

and 4 years later the control scheme seems brutally bad, and you're right its horrible solo, basically just keeps cutting to my co-op cpu partner getting butchered until she dies and I lose
