Topic: Resident Evil 5 is the greatest thing ever.

Nice! I'll try that tonight, bustin. Thanks.

D-pad item switching isn't up to par. It's terribly slow and sometimes Chris wouldn't pull out his weapon at all. I chalked it up to this being a demo. Same with the local co-op screen being the way it is.

I wonder, if Nintendo made the next real Zelda multiplayer co-op (like 4 swords) would you guys be happy? It just seems strange to me that people are willing to accept multiplayer co-op in a series that has never had it besides a spin-off (and fun) online game. I'd think you could innovate the series without taking the multiplayer route like RE4 was able to do. Personally I am saddened by the single player experience starting to become a dieing breed. It makes me a sad panda.

I'll be a sad panda with you because I'd feel the same way if i was in your shoes. Luckily Nintendo still has some fun single player games, and doesn't shove co-op down your throat either, but if they ever went that route I'd be pretty dissapointed. When a game like this comes along, it seems like they're going out of their way to put co-op in there as if its a direction the series will be in from now on. If thats the case than the single player could turn out not as good soley because the game was built with co-op in mind. When you're like me and do most of your game playing solo, for whatever reason, this sort of situation isn't satisfying.

Oh and don't give me the "well you can play online co-op" answer because that might not be an option, nor a preference

I want a WiiWare 4 swords multiplayer game NOW!!!!  Right Now.

Give it to me Nintendo or I will hunt you down and beg. 

(Also give us randomly generated Dungeons and Wii Speak Support so we can play the game forever.)

EasyCure, I think the game will be just fine as a solo experience after playing the demo several times, also on the PS3 version.  Sheva hasn't since done any of that stupid **** I talked about earlier, so I don't know if my play style has adapted or if it was just a first time fluke.  I think she'll perform okay now.

Oh and as an aside I am now torn as to what version of the game to get.  The 360 version is superior in the graphics and performance department while the PS3 version's controller feels so much more natural for controlling the game.  I'm torn.

That's good to know but my point was meant to be taken in a broader sense. It's not just this game that I'm worried about becoming a standard co-op affair that'll carry over to the next installment, but lots of traditionally single player games in general.

I want to declare co-op gaming a fad but I saw what happened to all the "Wii is a fad!" people...

The only difference is that in Zelda, you only play as Link. Resident Evil lends itself more to multiplayer than Zelda.

I get what you're saying though and honestly, the only reason this happened is because Capcom top brass raised the pimp hand to Shinji Mikami and basically forced him to leave the company for who knows why considering what an asset he'd be to any development team. Not saying RE5 won't be a good game, but like you, I would have preferred the game staying single player only. The series isn't survival horror anymore. RE4 gave you tons of ammo and now RE5 gives you tons of ammo and a partner who, useless or not, makes the game less scary. They might as well add in some upbeat J-Pop while their at it.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Yeah, oh well, we'll see what happens. I'm sure it will be fun to play with someone else.

This a turtle of a game.

my god, you moved slowly.

[ShyGuy]

So I listened to RebelFM tonight and Ryan video plus Jay Fresh were on and they said "Don't judge RE5 by this demo" www.eat-sleep-game.com

I have no idea who those guys are, but at least that sounds promising.

[ShyGuy]

Ex-1up staffers.

[NWR_pap64]

Oh, I'm willing to give the final game a try. I am still concerned about the controls, though. I hope (but doubt) they will tweak them before the release.

Hold down A (needs an autorun option...)

I found the demo terribly confusing, especially the dying. I shoot some stuff, get killed, limp around a bit, Sheva asks "are you okay" and I've got health again, she gets killed, the game ends instantly.

I know that.  It' just everything felt so sluggish, from the running to the aiming.

[Maverick]

Changing "aiming speed" to "fastest" made it playable for me.

[Stogi]

I wish you could change all the baddies to white because, you know, I'm super racist like that.

[Spinnzilla]

I wish you could change them to actual zombies.  Cause I like resident evil like that.

That is one thing I miss about RE that started in 4, lack of real zombies.

[NWR_insanolord]

I played this co-op with a friend of mine and I have to say the game is almost unplayable for me with analog aiming after spending so much time in RE4 on the Wii. My friend died and I would have been able to save him if I were using Wii controls.

[EasyCure]

I'd like a mix of both actually. Have dozens of slow moving zombies (maybe a Crimson Head or two) in certain areas and smarter Ganados (or whatever) types in others, wherever the gameplay suited it best.

That is a good compromise. One of my favorite sequences ever is in the beginning of RE2 with the fire and the meandering (creepy) zombies. Great stuff.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I like Regenerators more than any of them.
