Residential Biohazardness 5 Thread

[bork]

So far, so HOLY SHIT.  Good game!  Although the game basically has you diving right in, (which is a good thing) the story and presentation are better than RE4's.  The atmosphere isn't anywhere near as creepy as the old Spanish towns were, but the enemies you encounter definitely are.  Especially right in the beginning when you are just walking through town and everyone is staring at you.

The enemies are more aggressive compared to RE4 and don't let up.  Got a game over in the first area because Sheva let her dumb ass get killed by the axeman.  How do you take down that behemoth, anyway?  I could get him to stagger, but he'd get right back up again. 

Installed the game on my 360 HD and the load times are zero, by the way.  It loads so quickly that you don't even get to see the bits of RE trivia it shows on those screens.

I am reading some complaints that the game is shorter and just goes by quicker than RE4 did, and to expect the length to be like RE4 minus the castle.  Something tells me a big part of this are the auto-saves; it seems that the typewriters are gone, and the game will just save at any new area.  Makes things quicker when having to start over.   It also is apparently more linear and has virtually no backtracking, which is AWESOME.  I'd rather have it a bit shorter if it means constant new areas and enemies to fight.

Playing the game with the default controls, but I think I may try out the new scheme, since it allows for strafing.  And yes, the knife really does seem to be more powerful than ever before.  I had a few of those "beat-em-up" combos going with Sheva; definitely more fun than shooting.

Good, a short game.

Good, a short game.

Short games

RE4 was about 20 or so hours on my first play-through, but I loved it since it was non-stop action the entire time.  I'm fine with this game being shorter as long as it's good and also keeps up the pace.

Again with RE4 being one of my all-time favorite games, I don't expect RE5 to top it, but it looks to be quite an enjoyable experience.  I'm sure I'm going to be replaying it multiple times (certainly on veteran once normal is done) and messing around in Mercenaries for a bit.

[Himu]

Lyte: to take on the axeman, use the environment. There's a few fire barrels and explodable barrels in the market. Lurk him there and keep the hits coming. Stay as far away from his axe as possible. It takes a while but he'll keel over eventually.

Oh, and typically Lyte, RE4 has amazing checkpoint system. So the fact RE5 auto saves, I don't think they'll change the length at all. In most cases in RE4, if you die, you're sent to a check point.

[cool breeze]

well, I'm kinda glad it's short because it's co-op.

[duckman2000]

What's the backstory on those typewriters in RE, anyway?

[cool breeze]

they were just a clever way to limit saving that would also fit the style of RE1, then it became a reoccurring thing.

[demi]

Um... there is no backstory. You used them to save your game. It's probably some sort of reference to typing a journal of your events, in case you die, and some other person came across your notes to read like Claire/Leon/Jill/Chris/whoever the fuck

Yeah, that's the demo.  He actually "avoided" the barrel I shot he was near.     Instead of coming right at me like he was before, a bunch of townspeople did instead, and THEN Mr. Axe followed after it exploded on 'em.

[Himu]

He AVOIDED it? holy shit

[bork]

Could have just been that he walking just slow enough to have missed it, but yeah, that's how it came off.  He literally was right there as soon as the barrel exploded.

IGN review, 9.0

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/960/960151p1.html

In some ways, Resident Evil 5 is more like the many motion pictures spawned by the earlier videogames in the series than those early games themselves. There's more action, more adventure, more explosions, more vehicles and overall more of an over-the-top thrill-ride feel. It's Black Hawk Down meets Resident Evil: Apocalypse instead of Resident Evil 4 continued. That's not a negative, but it's definitely a departure. And whether or not it sounds like a romping good time or the death of everything you know and love depends on your perspective. For my money, fun is fun, and RE5 has near infinite ammo in that department.

Closing Comments

With Resident Evil 5, Capcom has broken away from many of the survival horror conventions it pioneered. The creepy suspense of the earlier games has been replaced with an action-packed intensity that will instantly appeal to some gamers and disappoint others. As an action game, RE5 is a success, and there’s a wealth of replayability through item collection, weapon upgrades, score chasing and the unlockable Mercenaries mode. But this is no gentle nudge to the formula of the previous main RE games; it’s an evolution. And if you can accept it as that, you just might love Resident Evil 5.

Sounds hot. I know the producer name-dropped Black Hawk Down in one of the first interviews regarding RE5, so unless IGN is just revisiting its own material, it's cool to hear that they might have succeeded in their attempt.

edit: I guess there are more reviews on IGN, but that's the US one.

[bork]

I don't know about the "evolution" part.  That was RE4.  RE5, for better or worse, is Super RE4 Champion Edition.  It has a better variety of enemy types and the partner system, but is essentially more of the same.  In fact you can just replace "5" with "4" in their review and it's the same thing.   

[bork]

Just finished 3-1.  Definitely feels shorter than RE4, but is quite intense with the action.  RE4 had a number of lull periods where nothing was going on; this doesn't really have those.  Boss fights have been fun, but incredibly EASY in comparison to RE4. 

Sheva has not been giving me any problems.  I never had any problems with Ashley in RE4 and Sheva is similar, only she is able to fight.  I don't know if things would be different if I set her A.I. to attack; I've kept it on cover the entire time.  Doing this has kept her only using the basic handgun, but I've found that switching to attack briefly and then back to cover will get her to change weapons (which is only really necessary if you want her to use the rifle).

Enemies encountered so far (minor spoilers)-

"Ganados:" I don't think there's a name for all the basic enemies yet, but they behave in the same manner as the villagers in RE4.  They either come at you bare-handed, with bladed weapons, flaming arrows, or dynamite.  Same as before.  Very few female enemies so far for some reason, and the enemies who mutate further and have the insect-blade-stuff coming out of their heads have been surprisingly few and far between.  Maybe this changes on veteran?

spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Fat guys:" Bigger ganados who take a lot more shots to bring down.  Only encountered a couple in the beginning stages.

Flying monsters: These will generally come out of ganados' heads when you kill them.  They take 2-3 shots to bring down and aren't really a threat unless you're running and one catches up to you.

Dogs: Annoying as hell, there's a few types although they all have the same attack pattern.  Can mutate further into monsters with huge jaws.

Axe man: From the demo, same thing.

Chainsaw man: Same as RE4, different look.  Wasn't as hard to kill as the axe man, but I had a few flaming barrels to shoot off that helped!

Alligators: In a swamp area; I didn't even try to fight these and just avoided them.

Tribesmen: These guys replace the monks from RE4.  They come at you with spears and/or shields, and will dodge your shots on occasion.

"Witch doctors:" Dance and chant on occasion, and are rather tall.  Took a lot of shots to bring down; not sure if there's a trick to make it easier since they are wearing huge masks that act as armor.

Snakes: There's a few here and there.

Most time probably spent in one area and deaths was on a part with no enemies.     It was a puzzle area and you can die if you touch laser beams.  Kept dying by accident.   

I think around stage 4 or so things really started getting better in terms of use of environments, enemies, (some) puzzles, etc.  Still seems easier than RE4 though; deaths have been few and far between.

I'm still early in the game. Chapter 2.1, I think.
As much as I liked the game at first, I'm starting to dislike it. There's just too much action going on and the whole world feels so boring and sterile so far...
And the graphics in the mines were awful.

Hope it gets better later on 

[bork]

It DOES get better.   

Hit a spot where playing with the A.I. Sheva really, REALLY sucked.  Hopefully this is the only spot in the game like this; took me several tries to beat.  Basically either you or Sheva have to take an elevator to a top platform and push a large crate out of the way to get inside a small room.  While this is happening, shitloads of enemies

are coming after both characters.  The first few times I had Sheva go to the top, but she kept getting overwhelmed and killed, AND at the spot where this was happening, I couldn't do anything since my view was blocked.  The next few tries, I went up top and laid down a few mines I had left (glad I kept them!) which made things a lot easier, but dumb-ass Sheva got herself overwhelmed and killed AGAIN AND AGAIN, standing in the same spot and not moving around (why?  WHY?), then dying.  I finally managed to clear it -just barely- by laying down a few mines where she stands first, then going up top. 

And now, right after this area, I'm at a boss fight against (big spoiler)

here's the detailed version of what happened till now (heavy spoiling so all have been warned)

DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW

spoiler (click to show/hide)

*There is more but i started at where she sacrificed herself since that what you would want to know*

As Wesker was about to end Chris’ life, Jill made the ultimate sacrifice. Lunging at Wesker, she threw both herself and him out of the window, and over the side of a cliff.

Chris could do nothing as he watched his partner fall to her death.

BSAA launched a full-scale search operation, but neither Jill’s body nor any of her personal effects were ever recovered.

On November 23, 2006, Jill Valentine was officially declared dead, and her name was added to the list of BSAA members who died in the line of duty.

But Jill’s story did not end there.

The fall did not kill Jill nor Wesker. Though badly hurt and unconscious, Jill was saved by Wesker. After giving her the medical treatment she required, he placed her in a cryogenic sleep. Once the Uroboros Plan was finalized, Wesker intended to use her as the first test subject.

This was Wesker’s way of exacting his revenge.

Fortunately for Jill, luck was on her side.

The apparatus monitoring her vital signs detected some abnormalities. Something was happening inside Jill’s body, and Wesker’s curiosity was piqued. Further investigation showed that a mutated form of the T-Virus was still inside her body. It was a remnant from her infection in Raccoon City.

The cure she was given was supposed to have eradicated all traces of the virus in her body, but instead it caused the virus to go into a dormant state. Her extended period in a cryogenic sleep somehow reactivated the virus.

Shortly after being reactivated the T-virus completely disappeared from her body, but it left something else in its place. Wesker found that Jill’s body now contained powerful antibodies to the virus.

All those years the T-Virus was inside her body forced it to develop a defense system that was nothing short of miraculous.

Ths discovery would help further Wesker’s ambitions.

The development of the Uroboros Virus, the centerpiece of the Uroboros Plan, had proven to be quite difficult.

The Uroboros Virus developed from the Progenitor flower proved to be too poisonous to humans to be of much use. Instead of spurring the next step in human evolution, it only invited death.

Wesker theorized that using Jill’s antibodies could make the virus less poisonous. He kept Jill alive solely to produce antibodies for his research.

Jll, who had reviled bioweapons and devoted her life to eradicating them, was ironical being used to develop the most terrible bioweapon of all.

After much research and experimentation, Wesker finally perfected the Uroboros Virus. Jill’s participation in its development meant she was no longer a suitable test subject. Pure and unadulterated antibodies with high resistance to the virus permeated her body.

Wesker decided he would find a suitable use for her elsewhere.

During the research into the Progenitor virus, an ancillary chemical was discovered. The researchers referred to it as simply - P30. When administered to test subjects, it would not only give them superhuman strength, but also rendered them highly susceptible to control.

P30 was the ultimate performance enhancer.

The aim of the Uroboros Plan were to create a new breed of humans, so P30’s application n this plan was inconsequential. However, for the time being it could be marketed as a product and garner additional funding.

Research into creating the ultimate soldiers who didn’t resist orders was carried out simultaneously on Las Plagas and P30. Unfortunately, the latter had a severe drawback.

The effects of P30 would only last for a very short time.

An injection of P30 was metabolized and expelled by the body at an expeditious rate requiring administration of the drug at frequent intervals. This greatly lessened the viability of such a product as a long-term performance enhancer. The only counter to such a drawback was to attach a device to the subject that would continually administer the drug.

While P30’s effects were brief, it was still a powerful and effective drug.

The effects of continual administration were untested, as in order to research this aspect further an administration device was attached to Jill.

An external device was attached to Jill’s chest that would continually administer the drug to her body. With her freewill constantly being usurped, she remained a servant to Excella and Wesker until Chris and Sheva destroyed the administration device.

Finished the game on normal; total play time was 11:43:19.  That's a bit less than half of the time it took me to complete Resident Evil 4 on normal the first time through, but I had a blast playing through the game and am definitely going to be going through it multiple times!  Haven't played co-op yet, but I suspect with another competent player, you could easily shave off a few hours on a first-time play-through. 

Although the game's environments and level design overall were not as good as RE4's, RE5 does have better normal enemies and a much more satisfying story/ending.  I enjoyed the last few final boss fights immensely more than RE4's, although that was more due to the characters involved and the presentation; RE4's bosses were more creative and challenging.

Looking forward to playing Mercenaries mode now (is it true this will be getting a patch that enables versus mode down the road?), the veteran difficulty, co-op, and unlocking everything, so there's plenty of replay value.  While the game overall just doesn't touch RE4, it's a notch below it and definitely worth playing.

-Speaking of Cammy, maybe I've just been playing too much SF4, but when Sheva was fighting Jill, she was doing some of Cammy's throws!

-The boss fight with Jill and Wesker felt like an homage to the Matrix.  Well, Wesker himself has for a while now, but even the room you fight in looked like a scene from Reloaded.

-Speaking of the Matrix, so did the inside area of the abandoned Umbrella/Tricell lab!

-Did all of Jill's power come from the control device on her chest?  From a fanboy perspective, I kept wondering why she didn't go with Chris and Sheva and just kick the shit out of everything.

-Jill is listed as one of them.  When they open her "coffin," it's empty.
-Jill is the mysterious woman mentioned earlier.  Wesker revived her and is controlling her with a device on her chest.  The blonde hair is a side-effect from whatever it is they did to her.
-Chris and Sheva manage to remove the device from Jill's chest, saving her.

Uh, if you liked RE4, you will like this.  It's a no-brainer.

I'm currently going and getting cash to upgrade my weapons (this does two things- get you infinite ammo [once the the game is cleared once] for that weapon, plus unlock new weapons.  Apparently upgrading the first rifle unlocks the longbow, which you need for a certain achievement), but it seems that there is an item management glitch you can abuse to rack up cash super fast.  Gonna have to try this.

The item exploit trick works!

If you want to be an egg farmer, make sure you have an extra XBL profile.

-First go to level 3-1; go to the island where no enemies appear when you first depart, and you'll find a lone chicken inside a hut.
-Follow it and/or wait for it to lay an egg.  If you're lucky, you'll get a golden egg, which is worth $1,000.
-Make sure you have SAVED your progress before quitting!  You need that egg in your inventory.
-Now select any stage to start on.  Un-equip everything except the egg.
-When you have control of the game, press start on controller 2.  Load your other profile and create a save.
-Now have Player 1 (you) give the egg to Player 2.
-Quit the game, but make sure that the Player 2 profile SAVES.  It doesn't matter with Player 1's.
-Now reload your game or select any chapter.  Keep your inventory slots empty.
-Hit start on controller 2 and load up the profile you just saved.
-Give the egg to Player 1.
-Now quit again, but this time, save Player 1's profile and NOT Player 2's.
-You can repeat this trick as many times as you want to, and do the opposite to build up Player 2's inventory. 
-I kept doing this until all nine of Player 2's inventory slots were filled up, and now when I do the trick, there's 45 eggs to take. 
-That's $45,000, and the whole thing only takes 2-3 minutes to do each time!  You can buy/upgrade everything in no time.  No more grinding for cash!

I don't like it anywhere near as much as I did RE4, but it's still a better game to me than the other Resident Evils.  I just prefer this style of game play to the original ones.  Have you tried this in co-op yet?  I wonder if that might make things a lot more fun.

Getting my ass handed to me in Mercenaries; finally cleared stage one with the required amount of points needed (40,000; got 57,000!) and am on stage two. 

[bork]

On stage 5 in Mercenaries now.  Got three more characters unlocked; it seemed to get easier after the first stage.  No because I got used to it, but because the subsequent stages have all been smaller in scale and/or have had more enemies packed into one area.  The first level is the town square (from the demo), and I'd often fall short of 40,000 because I couldn't find any enemies to kill.     The other stages haven't had this problem.

[bork]

Oh.

Eurogamer review:

No puzzles?

It's almost like they made a list of "things Green Shinobi likes about the Resident Evil series" and cut out most of them. Dammit, I could see puzzles not working so well in co-op, but they could have left them in for single-player.

Is the music good (and creepy) at least?

Tense battle music.  Fits perfectly to me.  And the game does have a few puzzles here and there, Eurogamer sucks; heard they didn't give the greatest review for RE4 either.  Finding the medals is also much, much, MUCH more difficult than they were in RE4.  A number of them are quite well-hidden.  Perhaps too well.

While I think RE4 did have better atmosphere, it didn't strike me as "creepy" like the pre-RE4 games were either.  I don't find these games particularly scary either, so keep that in mind when reading my impressions.

Again, RE4 >>> RE5 no doubt, but RE5 still rocks and is worth playing.  Most definitely.

Green Shinobi, you seem to want to not like this game for some reason.  Did you try the demo?

I can understand why people would like this more than the older RE games (RE,RE2,RE3,RECV)
But those people probably never liked the first few RE games anyway.

I loved them, and that why I'm so disappointed with this one. RE4 tried something different and it did it extremely well. RE5 is good, but it lacks the quality and polish of the previous RE games. IMO

The edge review has me anticipating the game a little bit more actually. They really seemed to like the co-op aspect of it, and since I wasn't anticipating RE4 type perfection there won't be any soul crushing. And it sounds like the plot will live up to expectations, which aren't really that high, but good to hear none the less. It's too bad about the inventory system though. Stopping play to manage/heal seems like it is all but necessary in a game like this.

I was talking more about how the game doesn't pause when you open your inventory, or did I misread the review?

Here's the quote:Simple procedures like dishing out spare ammo and health to your partner take place while the action goes on around you, and with no quick way of doing so, it's almost pointless to try during a fire-fight.
