Editor's Note: It Takes a Nation of Millions

In what is destined to be the first genuinely epic game of 2009, Resident Evil 5 is practically guaranteed to be the last of its kind, with the game's producer, Jun Takeuchi, assuring us that a reboot is in order for the inevitable Resident Evil 6. That's not to suggest that there's anything wrong with the evil at hand. Quite the opposite; it's awesome fun, and we've beaten the game from beginning to end, and have a week's worth of detailed, insider info for you to enjoy. Check out our exclusive interview, videos of unseen levels, and our final hands-on preview to see if Capcom's controversial new survival-horror game lives up to its legacy.

They probably want to get away from anything Mikami, lol. But if it's anything like what RE4 did for the series, I'm all for it!

Reading stuff like this makes it sound like RE5 is gonna be less-than-stellar though. $:-\$ Reminds me of when a Capcom guy was talking about Capcom Vs. SNK 2 before Capcom Vs. SNK had even been released, saying how it was going to have the stuff that CvS1 did NOT.

As much as I love how they turned the series into more of an action survival horror games, I'd like to see them ease up on the action parts for the next game. That old RE4 gamecube footage looked awesome, so just make it like that.

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #9 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:41:14 PM »

I realize that RE4 was a "reboot", but how many years did they stick with the shitty isometric camera? Oh well

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #10 on:** February 23, 2009, 04:53:33 PM »

Some sort of Fallout 3-esque sandbox world to explore would be pretty awesome. I would prefer it not be a fps, tho. I'm fps'ed out.

It's a reboot to the whole property i'm sure.

The story mainly, since it has developed so much cannon along the years, and so much has happened, and REs5 is coming back to the origins of the virus, and it's the final showdown between Chris and Wesker, so it makes sense to reboot it for the next one.

REs6 will probably start a new story.

Bildi · « **Reply #16 on:** February 23, 2009, 05:44:46 PM »

Sounds good. RE has been awesome with every iteration so I doubt they'll make a mis-step.

Has this been said anywhere? It always seems like it's going to be the "final showdown," but that never happens. They never even made a game showing what happens after the events in Code: Veronica!

Did it? I thought the main plot to RE4 was that Saddler was a pawn for Umbrella...maybe I'm wrong, I haven't gotten the end of my playthrough yet.

demi · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2009, 05:57:26 PM »

Everyone is a pawn of Umbrella, or looking to start their own organization (TRICELL in Resident Evil 5), in the Resident Evil universe

iirc, originally RE5 was going to be more like that, or at least a lot closer than it is now. There was also supposed to be an entire thirst/heat system where Chris had to stay hydrated and find shade at times.

Why didn't they go with this?

so they would have something to wish for in the future and never get, like the original RE4 footage

RE4 is incredible, but I still want to play that version

Third · « **Reply #25 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:37:30 PM »

I hope they bring back the pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls.

Let's be honest here. Every RE fan wants that. I do.

Draft · « **Reply #26 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:43:53 PM »

I would flip out if they made another RE with tank controls and CG backgrounds.

It would be the end of me.

I wouldn't be able to contain myself.

Third · « **Reply #27 on:** February 23, 2009, 09:02:42 PM »

In a good or a bad way ;p

I'd love a new RE in REmake/RE0 style. I wouldn't even care if it were for the Wii. REmake and 0 still look stunning.

RE4 style is also good, and I expected RE5 to be basically the same. But after seeing co-op parter Shitva, RE5 went to the shitter for me.
Still want to play the game, though. But only because it's a new RE main game. $:-\$

I love RE4. It's my favorite game ever.

But I love the old RE games too. There is no reason Capcom can't make both.

Uh, sure there is. Tank controls are fucking antiquated and lame.

cool breeze · « **Reply #33 on:** February 24, 2009, 09:40:32 AM »

RE4/5 still have tank controls; the difference between RE4 and older RE games is the camera perspective. And the ability to aim your gun, but that isn't so much with the body controls.

RE series has like 20 million units sold. Tank controls resonate with the game buying public. Your desperate cries fall on deaf ears. Save the indignation for the clumsy sausages masquerading as your fingers.

That's like saying turn based RPG's >>> action RPG's.
The classic RE's still work if you're a fan of the gameplay. I still love the old RE style games to death.
The tank controls and crazy camera angles have their charm.

RE4 lost the "Resident Evil" after taking the different route imo.

I wouldn't mind RES with Uncharted controls. The thing is, when you give that sort of response to the player, you really gotta step up your game on the enemies.

Third · « **Reply #40 on:** February 24, 2009, 11:19:38 AM »

Fake backgrounds?

Yes, I want tank controls and "fake backgrounds" in my Resident Evil. RE1, RE2, RE3, RE Code Veronica (in lesser extent) REmake and RE0 all have the classic controls and camera angles. And they were awesome.

I was pretty mad when they scrapped the first version of RE4 (classic style) and went with the current version. The game is a good game though, but a bad Resident Evil imo.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #41 on:** February 24, 2009, 11:28:19 AM »

So what you're saying is that because older tvs weren't hd compatible, you don't want an hdtv. Truly, you hate progress.

What's progress to you? There are different gameplay types, you know. Nothing wrong with classic RE game mechanics. A lot of people still like to play the games like that.
That's like complaining about rpg's who are turn-based and have random encounters. Action rpg's aren't a progress, they just work differently. RE4 isn't a progress, it's just different.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #43 on:** February 24, 2009, 12:14:23 PM »

Yeah, people used to go fucking barefoot back in the days of the Bible but there's been tremendous advancements in technology since. Tank controls suck ass and weren't a "selling point" of the original RE games to a LOT of players. They were something that you liked the games IN SPITE OF as opposed to BECAUSE OF.

You remind me of a typical ntard who always shouts that waggle is progression.

That's fine, you remind me of my 10 year old autistic nephew.

There's no difference between a ntard and an autistic 10 year old. So that makes you basically the same as me?
But there's a difference between progression and trying something else.

Capcom tried something else with Re4. The outcome is good, but the change still didn't make RE4 the best RE game.
But whatever. I guess all games should become 3rd person action games eventually. That's some progression.

So what, a lot of people still think A link to the past is better than Ocarina of time. I being one of them. Even if OOT was a so called "progression"
FFVII was also a progression, but FFVI was equally good.

IMO, the biggest progression ever was GTA2>>>GTA3. But there are still people out there who enjoyed GTA2 more...

I definitely agree that those two are the best RE games before the change in style. RE4 was the first time the series was really amazing for me, so I think that is the best game under the 'Resident Evil' moniker; still, RE4 and everything before it are quite different. I still think that there could be a mixture of the two styles and that's what those old RE4 videos looked like to me.

Bebpo · « **Reply #56 on:** February 24, 2009, 03:34:24 PM »

I don't know which RE is the best, but I just have to say that REmake was fucking incredible. I bought an import GC just for that game and it was worth every penny.

RE4 was the greatest thing ever, but I'd be quite happy if they went back to the classic RE for a while. I adore both styles of game.

Not going to happen unfortunately.
