Sign up with GoogleSo I woke up at 5 this morning to play the Resident Evil 5 demo I downloaded.
I fell asleep before it was done, hehehe
Started it up and chose the first level, can’t remember name it’s the one with the axe/meat tenderiser man. First impression I got was the look of the game, it’s got great lighting and quite colourful as opposed to RE4 which was pretty brown and grey.
I struggled with which control scheme to use cause I couldn’t remember what the RE4 controls were, then again it was 5am and I was still bit drowsy. I chose the D setup (default one) which kinda works nicely since its ver y much like Uncharted L1-aim R1-shoot. The fact that you can’t move around while shooting gives this game a real edge in terms of urgency and claustrophobia. The shear amount of enemies attacking you at the start had me resorting to my knife cause of ammo constraints. Man this game just took me back, classic Resident Evil stuff.
I haven’t found the partnering with Sheva a problem as she at least helps you out. Sticks some health in you when you low and kicks an enemy that’s got you in a strangle hold. I guess the only trouble is helping her out as well which can be somewhat of a pain. I’ll try out the co-op with my brother tonight to see how it actually is. Also the real-time menu is a bit of a pain cause enemies are quite relentless.
All in all I was pretty impressed from what little I’ve played. I’ve been a long time fan and been waiting for this one for quite some time, even watchedDegenaration to build this up as it basically is Resident Evil 4.5 to buikd up the hype. My critique of this game is pretty biased being a long time fan. All I can say is if you want Dead Space controls then go play Dead Space, this is Resident Evil it’s meant to have "crappy" controls. I'll definitely be getting it after KZ2
