The Resident Evil Thread

hi... i just want to know some of your thoughts and insights about the series ^_^Resident evil 5 gold edition will be officially out on march 9, 2010. it features the original game and all downloadable content including new playable episodes and new costumes. i like that part in wesker's mansion, it reminds me of the first biohazard at the mansion where chris & jill were partners (and will always be ;)) in solving the mysteries behind umbrella including weskers and stars. hopefully this one will be much horrifying. ahh i miss the old times, head shots to avoid crimson heads, i think i'm gonna play the remake again next week ;Di hope this won't be ps3 exclusive, maybe a pc version will do, or maybe a wii lol and i do hope capcom will bring back some horror to the game, resident evil 5 had too much action, i didn't even liked the storyline, or maybe the game was just over anticipated.

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold EditionThere is a 360 version...I wonder if those update packs would become availble for pc?A wii one would be too much for the system...as much as I'd want it it won't happen :(As for your thoughts on re5, I personally prefered 4 better, but it was still a great experience despite the lack of horror.

agreed ^___^

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold EditionDon't count on this coming to the PC. (Capcom hasn't said anything about the PC version and this is being done for a money grab, it's cool though).I admit, I liked RE5 first playthrough, it took halfway through the game the second time for me to hate it and for me to realize that this is nothing but a zombie shooter with slower combat.Now that I've got a Dreamcast I should play RE2, 3 and Code Veronica.

I have to get used to the camera, the controls and the inventory system. It's all so foreign for someone who's started with RE4. Scares to crap out of me though. ;-;

OIC, i actually started in re3. it's great to know that there are more gamers who are playing resident evil, i'm a big fan ^__^

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold EditionWell I just bought a Dreamcast with like 20 games (one of them was code Veronica and another one was a Limited Edition of Sonic Adventure). Piracy gogogo, along with playing RE:CV, or attempting too.My only real complaint is that using ink ribbons to save is a huge hindrance, especially if I really need to save because I need to go and I can't.

piracy lol yup, capcom got rid of the ink ribbons, but not the typewriters lol
but anyway, you can take that hindrance as a challenge, even the inventory is pretty hard to deal with. you don't need to save more often, just save if necessary. i finished the remake with 10 saves.

It's hard to take it as a challenge when I'm tending to my kids hours at a time. You know? I have things to do besides games. :pAre there checkpoints? I haven't died yet, but I hate games that when you die, it brings you back to the main menu and you start from the point you last saved.

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Replying to #10

nope, there are no checkpoints at that time. you really need start at the last save point again in case you die.

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Replying to #11

Ewwwww. Then I see it as necessary to save all the time.

well if you're good at fleeing zombies or giving them headshots then you don't need to ;D

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Replying to #13

Agreed :)Also, I also have code veronica x (got the gamecube version officially) and number 2 (again, gamecube version).With code veronica, I found I didn't have to save as much...while number 2...wellLet's say I have only used the arrange mode so far... just like my little brother done :)

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Replying to #14

whoaaa where did you get code veronica x for gamecube i've been looking for a looong tiiime
i only have zero, remake, and 4 in my gamecube

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold EditionI got mine from a shop called "dungeon crawl" and it has an ebay store, but...I don't think they have any more copies :(Try ebay, it's certainly not a bad game, and with the extra does of cut scenes explaining about wesker, it's worth it.THere is also a version of 3 on gamecube, I could buy it from one of many second hand shops or...I could stik to the one I got here for playstation ;D

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Replying to #16

oh i see thanks a lot! but ebay... oh well. anyway i love wesker so much lol

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Replying to #17

They do have a shop...in australia.Still, they are a good bunch, the guys who run the store (I'm a regular ;D) are trust worthy.Anyway, if not that, try...downloading it if your desperate?I honestly thought you'd end up fighting him in game...it set's you up for it..but it's all in cutscene :(

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition

Replying to #18

i've already seen the cutscenes on youtube so i guess i don't need to download it. i just want it for my collection.i also thought of that. i was a bit surprised too when wesker died at re5, he's my fave antagonist, i hope he's still alive and spread the evil & virus again at re6 lol*crimson loves talking about resident evil stuff & just can't stop and realizes this thread might get locked later on lol*

Re: Resident Evil 5 Gold EditionWell this thread is about re 5 really, gold editioon is just downloadable content that you have the option of buying as a pack.It's a shame he's dead, maybe a clone of him might pop up (apparently those tyrants are all clones of Sergei in umbrella chronicles...so why not wekser :) ) or prehaps one of the other "wesker" children might pop up.All I know is I really want somew closure on billy cohen and barry burton.
