Resident Evil 5 Review - Better Than 4!?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Resident Evil 5 launched in 2009 introducing Co-op to the RE4 formula. It went on to sell the highest in the entire series. In the years that followed i've looked back on this entry as the superior title to RE4.
Its been 12 years since I last played the game and in this review I break down what I loved, what I hated and ultimately answer the question... Is it better than its predecessor.
If you enjoyed the video put a like on it and don't forget to comment your thoughts on the game. I really hearing from you all and I try to respond to everyone I can!

The main draw for me regarding Resident Evil 5 (a one of the main reasons it sold a lot) is this is the game where you FINALLY get to fight Wesker in a final boss battle, so the game has a "series finale" (or at least "season finale") feel to it considering how hyped up that Chris Redfield vs Wesker battle was for the last several games(Resident Evil 1, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, etc). Wesker was such an EVIL bastard in RE5. It delivered on that.
Wesker was the absolute GOAT in 5 I complelty agree. As nuts as the game is I do love how over the top wesker is
I think Resident Evil 5 sucked and unpopular opinion Im sure, but I think 4 while a better game than 5 sucks too and was where it all started going downhill (I don't care if its a critical darling) before the recent resurgence.
Give me puzzle solving, exploration based, slow burning atmospheric SURVIVAL HORROR based RE games any day of the week over mindless shooter games with zombies. I'd put any of the original 3 and CV over 4 in my list even if they're dated. Remake is perfection that will never be bettered imho and RE 2 remake second and I'd imagine if Capcom resist the urge to turn it into something its not that if a Code Veronica remake is made ot will rival 2 for the second spot.
The only thing RE5 delivered was Chris punching a boulder.

I got this game, I really enjoyed it, it was not that bad. My one big problem was it was not scary. The only part I actually found terrifying was where you had to wade the water full of crocodiles. If you have ever been to Florida, you know what I’m talking about.
I have never been to florida but I heard the place was mental. :D
@@JB-ls5pq Crocodiles are scary, they can run fast, they can easily kill a person, can easily rip your arm off and you can’t just go swimming anywhere, they could show up. And they can get huge!!
@@KaeMcSpadden i know crocodiles are very dangerous and sneaky and Uuge, i was referencing the florida man joke
@@KaeMcSpaddennot as scary as the average Florida crackhead
@@cameron2900x 🤣
5:03 - all the more reason if RE5 gets remade, the game needs to start with Lost in Nightmares incorporated by default, as the beginning. It’s more convincing that way for Jill’s “death”.
"we need a shitty remake of a timeless game"
RE5 was RE4 on steroids. The co-op, mercenaries and melee combos made this game my favorite in the franchise.
Agreed. I played this game so much with my friend. We 100% completed this game and it's dlc
I really love RE5 and had a blast playing solo and co-op on ps3 and xbox 360. I've thought about buying RE5 again for Xbox one. I wish the merchant would have returned. The chainsaw guy and the executioner scared the crap out of me back then as well haha.
I'm kinda tired of later RE games being criticized for straying from RE's identity.
Its identity is whatever Capcom, the IP owners, decide that it is. RE's gameplay was a natural evolution as it went from a scary setting with unfamiliar enemies to aged and experienced veterans dealing with same old same old. The combat focus is honestly logical considering these factors.
There's usually still some small horror aspects mixed in as well anyway, nowhere near as prominent but still existing in small portions.
RE5 does have resource management too. Especially considering the partner system.
Yeah. And in my opinion, the co-op is great for helping with the management aspect. You and your friend have to strategize your pickups and exchange things for what'd be best. It feels so cool
I like RE5 more then RE4.
The Story is more a "Resident Evil Story" with Wesker, Umbrella then 4. 4 feels like a Filler. You can play 1-3 skip 4, go to 5 and miss nothing except for Las Plagas from RE4.
Very true, 5s story and cast of characters are really fun throughout. Wesker is such a legend
ua-cam.com/video/kWPbjesfNaU/v-deo.html
here
Capcom themselves confirmed that RE4 was a side story and that they aimed to continue the main story with 5
@joceja23 Resident Evil story was never cheesy, the characters were and Resident Evil 4 didn't had any historical element aside from this "Las Plagas" questionable virus...
I love both RE4 and 5 but if I had to pick a favorite, it would definitely have to go to RE5 only because it has a co-op experience.
And sheva 🤤
The co-op system sucked RE6 was way better in all the mechanics in RE5 and it has way better mechanics in general RE4 was way better it still kept to the routes of the games and added more action RE5 just threw the concept of Resident Evil in general and tried way too much to copy RE4 it was a failed attempt RE5 is and amazing game but it is a horrible Resident Evil game Resident Evil 6 did way better with making RE5 look similar but better Resident Evil 6 did way better RE5 is the worst Resident Evil game and that is basing it over being purely a Resident Evil game RE5 just made it like wtf is going on
@@aizen6847 What am I reading.
There's such an easy way to fix the Inventory quick swap in controls in this game. Just make a Second Tap to the direction you want to go on slot down, then back to the previous one. If you count, with the exception of the middle slot, you can access 8 slots instead of 4, as long as each button access two slots and always go forth and back between them. And anytime you go to another slot, you wil allways select the first slot then a second tap to get the next slot. It's not hard.
They actually did something similar with RE4 Remake, where you have two slots for weapons on each d-pad button.
One of the best co-op action games to this day ever made. Regardless of the title.
While RE5 is my favorite RE, I find 4 to be objectively better due to a more interesting story from an objective standpoint that can also stand on its own as a standalone game. The map variety, length, inventory management, Mercenaries (from a competitive standpoint), is all better. Most of the bosses are worse in RE5 as well and the gimmick sections like the turret section, then the El Gigante fight on the turret, then the Irving turret boss fight, then Excella. However 5 isn't a complete copy paste of RE4 and does good things. There are different enemies that were never in RE4, and ones that are only based off RE4. The only enemies that seem similar from 4 are the default enemies and centipede head looking enemies that come out after you kill a regular enemy. But the latter are like a reverse Type 1 Plaga from RE4. They do lower damage and have less range, but take way more shots to kill, so they are still different. Co-op also changes how to play RE5 quite significantly compared to 4 as well. While RE5 Mercenaries is the worst one for competitive/high score play (it's super RNG due to mutations screwing over combo multipliers), it is superior to RE4 in a fun factor perspective. Way more characters, weapons, maps, and general variety. RE5 keeps the core gameplay of RE4, which is fine. A sequel usually doesn't need to change the very core gameplay of the earlier games to keep it fresh and new. RE4 changing the core gameplay was a must considering how outdated and bad the originals were getting. But I also find it weird you're complaining about RE5 being too similar, yet the original Resident Evil games were practically copy and paste games of the older ones with a new gimmick or two added in with a new story. So I don't really understand how it's a problem for RE4 era RE games for you but not the original. Could you elaborate here?
Sure I'll try my best to expand:
RE5 sharing the same DNA as 4 isn't the problem per se, I have the same issues with it as in my RE4 review (mostly due to it not feeling like an RE title I.e lack of planning, prep, resource scarcity...horror etc) the problem with 5 is it brings all the issues I had with 4 but then strips out the pros I had with 4 (item management and great bosses)
I hope that helps?
Just to further try and clarify:
With the older titles 12CV in particular the gameplay is what I adore from the series (item scarcity, route planning, enemy managment) it being similar works as thats the series identity I vibe with, and the variety is with figuring out new routes, new puzzles and new enemies to overcome
@@SSJdavey Yeah, that explanation helps.
Tbh new enemy's don't really make it more interesting or better
"objectively better"
Lmao
The game that is bright af and still manages to be scary for the first few playthroughs, and even then you have scenes like the ones containing lickers.
The build up to the lickers were good
How in the world did you find this game scary?
Why is that so hard to believe? Tell me @@Odeon1970
I love the upgrade system in 5 and hunting for treasure. Overall I prefer 4 but they are quite different games.
The upgrade system and treasure hunting is identical in 5.
4 and 5 aren't very different.
I thought RE 5 was a great game and was an excellent follow up to RE 4 in terms of new villains, end bosses, Tri-Cel, playing as Chris again, Africa setting, Co-Op, return of Wesker and more.
I’m currently halfway through 6 on my first complete play through of the series, RE4 is my second favourite so far (after RE1), I just thought 4 had a better story and atmosphere than 5. I still liked 5, it’s just that 4 played much better in my opinion
You've got some great ones to come with 7 & 8. Your at the low point right now with 5/6
1 is my favourite too 👍
Re5 also had a camera that wants to view the skybox a lot, which was annoying
Re5 had quicker more mobile gameplay and better graphics
How are the 2 revelation games??
1 is good 2 is great imo
seriously I played through the hole game with AI on the hardest difficulty...you give her a sniper and 2 full heal, it's gold, RE5 is my first re game, played it through again recently, I think it still hold up to my memory.
You're braver than me, I wouldn't dare attempt it on professional with the ai
@@SSJdavey it's a nightmare with the enemy's with guns. Especially the part just before the final showdown where you have to fight the minigun dudes and there goons.
BS. Give her a sniper and 2 full heal, she'll spend 10 seconds trying to shoot down one zombie in a horde of them just to burn through the heals without even making a dent.
Me? I just gave her the S&W 500 magnum, an extra full heal, and turned on infinite ammo.
I love this game. Chris is my favourite character and this game is mostly why. I prefer RE1 and RE2R - but this game is in my top 5, maybe even top 3. For me it's way better than 4, and not just gameplay or even character, but RE4's colour filter bothers my eyes deeply. It was a product of its time with the muddy brown filter and this game rightly avoided that. The only real downsides of 5 for me, are the QTEs, and I wish we could've gotten the original single player version of this game. There were so many awesome ideas in the beginning, like the light/darkness mechanic, and how Jill was not a mind controlled supersoldier. Anyway, great review!
The best thing about 5 is the dlc, imagine we got a game like lost in nightmares 🙌🙌🙌
My fellow podcast host raves about 5, its one of his favourite entries too so you're certainly not alone ranking it highly
@@SSJdavey LiN was subjectivity one of the best (if not the best) DLC in the franchise. The tone to it was great, but I really appreciated being able to play through the flashback.
I don't mind the frantic pace of the main game though - but if more of the game was based around the village at the start (oh and could we not have extended driving scenes?); and if we could have a version of this game that isn't chapter driven, this could probably sneak its way to the top of my list. Maybe one day we'll get a RE5R in the RE engine, single player action/horror with a less bonkers story.
Oh and while I talk highly of this game, I am so bothered by the volcano at the end. No being could survive standing that close to an active volcano. A bit of a pet peeve of mine 😅
Its not just anyone though this is wesker, the mac daddy of the franchise. There's only one other character that could wade through lava shouting nonsense and I wouldn't bat an eye and that's my main mad lad Barry 🤣
@@SSJdavey fair enough - but I meant Chris. He would've been burned alive by the proximity, if he didn't choke to death on the toxic fumes 😂
Haha didn't consider that, he should be long gone 🤣
I’ve tried three different times, but I have not been able to even finish Resident Evil 4. I just don’t care for it. 5, though? I first played it on the PS4, and absolutely loved it. Got the platinum trophy and everything. Even played through it multiple times on the Switch.
What is it about 4 that doesn't vibe with you? Is it the location? The cheese....Ashley *shudders*
@@SSJdavey RE4’s characters didn’t click with me. Leon has Dante syndrome. It’s when Capcom tries way too hard to make a character seem cool; but they just behave like a 40-something-year-old, trying to be hip around the young kids. The rest are either boring or annoying.
I try not to judge older games by their controls, but they really hurt my experience. It didn’t take long for me to start feeling like, okay, what’s the least annoying way for me to get through this section. I’d look at the routes in each area, and picture how cumbersome dealing with enemies would be. So I never looked forward to new areas. I first played RE4 on the PS3. The controls were the main reason I didn’t even consider playing another RE game, until 5 rereleased on PS4. And don’t get me wrong, 5 has areas that highlight the limits of the controls too, it just feels more bearable in 5. To me.
And then Ashley. I don’t think I need to say more than that. Sheva’s solo AI is really bad; but give her a stun rod a sniper rifle, and let her hold all the bullets, you can pretend she’s a very pretty quasi-merchant. Ashley… there’s no redeeming her.
I really want to like RE4. If for no other reason the impact it had on video games. But it’s just not for me.
Totally fair criticism 👌
games speak to people in different ways
Its always interesting to hear people's rationale 👍
I’m kinda the same way, except I actually like RE4’s characters (except Ashley in the original. Completely hated her. She’s much better in the remake though.) But I’ve tried to pick up the original RE4 over and over, and I only managed to get through the entire thing just once with my best friend coaching me through it (it’s one of his favorite games).
RE5 on the other hand, I’ve put more hours into it than any other game besides Metroid Fusion. It’s one of my favorite games of all time and is just comfort food to me. Either solo or co-op, I always have a great time with it. I don’t really know why I prefer it over RE4, but I do, by a very wide margin.
I'm curious. Have you tried the re4 remake yet ? I wanna know what you think of that. I know your experience with the og wasn't upto snuff, maybe it didn't age well as you played it a good generation after it released. Please lemme know what you think about the remake.
Re5 had the best mercenaries mode period.
I'm not a massive mercenaries fan but RE5 did have a fun one. The one I spent the most time with is RE3
the item management is that way to keep u in the action, you can recharge your weapon instantly if u combine with the gun, so u can recharge when u are doing the melee atack.
I could not agree more about the merchant vs being able to buy weapons whenever and treasures being sold right away. Re 5 has the stupid mechanic where you can collect a shit load of lion hearts from killing lickers, quit immediately after and get to keep and sell. Rinse and repeat. You can get infinite ammo on all weapons which really takes all the challenge out of it.
Crazy implementation, makes 0 sense why they did that

Bad game design is when I deliberately exploit checkpoints to get infinite items. Anyway, ignore the fact that you can get infinite ammo for guns in RE4 by purchasing ammo capacity upgrades and then selling the gun to repurchase it and continue the cycle. What a stupid mechanic.
@@ginge641 I don’t even think what you just said is even true tho. Also re5 has a huge issue of not having a way for the player to actually start a fresh game with no upgrades or special weapons, you have to go out of your way to play it normally
5 has the action of 4 but streamlined without puzzle filler which is what I like about it.
More of an action fam then compared to the more puzzle centric titles in the early series?
I love your analogy! The game to me is awesome! However, I do disagree with playing solo. Sheva is a big asset and inventory control. I completed all difficulties on single player and put over 500 hours on Co-op and love this gamy. I’ll never change my opinion on the game. (get over the merchant)
500 hours is a hell of a long time, I'm glad you enjoy it so much! I got the platinum for it on ps3 and that took a long time but nowhere near your level 👌
Mercenaries and co-op were awesome on PS3
great video man , RE4 is still the best for me ,but I have to admit RE5 is close 2nd , I still remember playing it on my Xbox360 all those years ago and with RE4 remake just couple of month away at this point I feel like i need to play it again.
I'm so hyped for RE4 remake! 2023 is going to be a great year for gaming 🙌
Just subbed cause this is such a satisfying video on RE5. I absolutely adore this gem of a game..especially for the little things, like the file entries for being rich with lore. This game gets too much hate.. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm a sucker for lore and RE5 delivers in that department 🙌
@@SSJdavey It definitely delivers in the lore department 😁
@@stacypare7955 it is my point :
re4 is inspiration for re5 and re village
re4 is game of the year
re4 considered one of the best game of all time by many reviews
the merchant the new character in re4 is one of the most pretty well knowing characters in video game and he was inspiration for Duke in re village
re4 is one of the most revolution game for example dead space series took re4 camera views gameplay
re4 bcus his big legacy among of series even it was also available for android
re4 one of the best games in PS2
PS2 is the highest standard quality for video games
re4 had something that Made it rank #1 in the series according by almost everyone
resident evil 4 trailer now revealed
(one other proof peoples loves re4 more )
resident evil 4 is a souls in entire francise and video games
even peoples still play re4 nowaday
and peoples still talking about re4 nowaday
and re4 remake just revelealed one of proof peoples loves re4 so much
re5 or other has end nowaday but re4 still ongoing
re5 is one of the best but re4 has something special
re4 legacy will never end
Agreed
Objectively speaking RE4 is a better game overall. Compared this two games is like comparing Terminator 2 with Terminator 3.
You don't know what objectively means
@@schemar17 It doesn’t mean much since everything is question of perspective -a subjective opinion

@@schemar17 No I didn’t even read the comment
Edit : even after I still don’t get what you mean by "you’re telling me" i didn’t say nothing 🤨
@@schemar17 wtf does graphics have to do with being a better game?
I really like resident evil 5. It was the first one I ever played, I had the red Xbox 360 that came with it back in 2009. I still go back and play that game with friends all the time. I only have a couple issues with it. It doesn’t even feel like it has a story or purpose until you reach the caves. The first half just feels like it doesn’t really know what it’s trying to do. I also thought Wesker didn’t have enough screen time. I wish they brought him in sooner, I think it took way too long. And Irving was quite possibly the worst villain in the franchise
That red 360 is a beauty!
I agree with that, more wesker the better 👍
With the recent RE4 Remake having segments that seem to make “call-forwards” to RE5’s story and gameplay (like Wesker’s ending dialogue and Luis participating in the double El Gigante fight), it made me ponder what an eventual RE5 Remake could be like. In turn, I was curious to know what your thoughts are, regarding this one gameplay feature in particular.
I am really wondering how the knife combat would be handled, given that RE5 would need a simpler inventory system. Having simpler inventory management for the real-time coop gameplay might necessitate removing the knife fragility mechanics and need for extra knives in one’s inventory. However, these features were the RE4 Remake’s way of counterbalancing the new abilities to perform knife parries and repeatedly escape from grabs with the same knife.
For now, what do you think would be the ideal approach for knives in RE5 Remake? Should they retain the knife parries/breakouts/fragility, or should they remove the knives’ counterattacks and make them unbreakable again, like in RE3 Remake vs. RE2 Remake? I might post a comment listing other proposals, but I wanted to focus on the hypothetical knife combat for now.
Knife wise it would be a real shame to see it go away after how great it was used throughout 4, I suppose the bigger question is what they'll do with 5 - will they include coop or will they totally re-invision it?
You could utlitize it to the same effect in both coop and single player without any real fuss imo
@@SSJdavey
I just remembered that RE5 already sort of provided a means for players to break out of enemy grabs, with the help of their partner characters. So perhaps the RE4 Remake's added ability to break out of grabs with the knife may not be as necessary for an RE5 Remake to retain, similarly to how you mentioned the partner mechanics in RE0 making up for the lack of defensive weapons.
As for the knife parries, maybe an RE5 Remake could retain them, but provide a different means to limit their use. For example, there could be a stamina meter for knife parries, which functions similarly to the one RE6 had for unprompted melee attacks. Also, perhaps Chris and Sheva could parry a Chainsaw Majini, but doing so would lock the character in place, until either a partner rescues them or the stamina meter runs out and the chainsaw kills them (like how Sebastian kills the duplicated Sadist in "The Evil Within 2").
@@SSJdavey Personally, I think they will do away with knife parries and instead reuse RE3 Remake's defense abilities. Chris would be able to parry like Carlos, and Sheva will dodge like Jill.
@harlannguyen4048 that's a great idea, re3s dodges/parrys were real nice so I'd be happy with that especially the differences with sheva and Chris to make them feel distinct
Overtime i find myself playing re5 more than 4. Re4 just feels slow and clunky to me. You say the same tank control style is present in re5. True but you forgot to mention things like strafing which can be use to evade enemy projectiles from axes to explosive arrows. Just the movement speed with the quick realtime nature of the inventory feels really responsive and in the moment. I think if Capcom implemented re5s updated gameplay in the "uhd" versions of re4. Hands down would be my go to RE game.
Great point with strafing, I don't think it changes things too much but it's still a nice addition building off from 4
@@SSJdavey It adds quite a bit to mobility. In re4 your only option is to either shoot the incoming projctile or rotate Leon slowly and... nope, get hit. Re5s gameplay is phenomenal imo. The only thing missing i'd say is moving while aiming. Unfortunately other aspects aren't as great or even good. But still, the game can still be tweak to be slightly better. One thing i like to do is instead of picking up weapons, wait til they are unlocked in the shop and buy em. And about the shop, only use it at the start of chapters.
Is the reason to only use the shop at the start of chapters just for a personal challenge or?
@@SSJdavey Just a personal thing but an improvement nontheless imo, because the shop pops up way too much and prompts you to upgrade weapons, etc. Especially if you resume the game from an ongoing/mid-point of a chapter. Upgrading, buying, selling.. etc mid-chpter just unnecessarily adds to an already fairly easy game, except on Pro. Being limited to the shop can even lead to things like deciding wether to keep or discard ammo to grab a grenade in realtime. Another thing i like to do is straight up skip the vehicle turret level and the ndesu "fight" good thing its the same chapter... easily the worst part of the game, lol.
Yeah its shockingly bad!
This is the second review of yours I’ve watched and so far you’re batting 100% lol. RE5 is a great game that I especially love for its daytime horror aesthetic. Combat is satisfying too. I do understand your criticisms however (the merchant is dearly missed). I think RE4’s pacing was more propulsive but whatever.
Great review man! I checked out the rest of your videos and saw you play games I play. I’ll be watching them throughout today. Big Ups!
Thanks man glad you're enjoying them 👍
Re4 with re6 movement and re8 graphics would be the ultimate game
That would be an incredible experience! I'd love to forward roll through a door and shoot some gonados in 4k 60 🙌
I thought that was Revelations 2 🤷
As cool as the attache case was it just encouraged item hoarding, for an action game 5's system works so much better. It also doesn't just stop the action, the fact you're still in danger while managing your stuff makes the game much more tense, 4's gave you a safe comfy space whenever you felt like it.
It even raises the skill ceiling, a good RE5 player is always seen combining herbs and buffering heals at lightning speeds during a melee attack animation.
I wish I felt tension during RE5, I used to adore this game 😭
Do people speedrun re5? I bet there's some cool tech with fast combines!
@@SSJdavey I find RE4 a little bit too easy now even on Professional so i'm always kind of comfy, the only tense moment in that game is the cabin ambush imo. Now RE5 kicks my ass even on just Veteran difficulty, it's not being tense from creepiness per se but more of it being mechanically tense, way more enemies at a time and deadlier ones too. The Regenerators are freaky but only the first two pose a real threat to you, after you get the Infrared Scope they become pushovers. Just snipe them at a safe distance with no danger of they getting to you because of how slow they walk. The Reapers from RE5 on the other hand are i think the better enemy, they are invincible everywhere but their weak spots like the Regenerator and are quite easy to take down because of them but on the other hand emmit a blinding haze if you miss, punishing you for bad play by making the weakspots even harder to hit while they're still walking towards you; That precious time you lose is crucial because their grab kills you instantly. When they are around they become main priority and the game gets super tense as your freaking life is on the line but when Regenerators show up it's business as usual, while the Regenerator is scarier i fear the Reaper way more.
Btw i wasn't talking about speedruns specifically, in fact i know nothing about those lol. It's more something you can do to improve your general play. In old RE you could combine the ammo with the gun to reload inside the inventory screen, that was absent in 4 (because it would be too broken obviously) but is back in 5 now that the inventory is real time. If you're fast enough you never actually need to physically reload your guns at all.
The regenerators aren't a threat to me just because you can blast their leg off and run past without a care in the world. Mega spooky enemies though!
When we played re5 we died on the last section with the reapers like 20x
Great enemies
@@zesork5627 I think the licker scene is intense where you have to lower the bridge.
It's still a trash Inventory system for an Action Oriented game.
RE5 The Best!
Not for me but what I've learnt from doing these videos is there isn't a proper consensus on which is the best. Everyone seems to have their own individual favourite and that's awesome
RE5 it has a better script, better soundtrack, better graphics, character movements are better, RE5 is just harder than Re4!
RE5 it's still the best seller 12,2 Millions
Thats true! It's still the best seller by a big margin

I never noticed the whole boss fight thing in RE5 until you said it. I mean I still love the game. I still think it's amazing. Just some food for thought for me I guess. Great vid though.
The amount of content re5 even had back in 2009 till the end with dlc was litterly nuts but the thing with re4 why didn't it have a platinum trophy which is annoying when re1 remake from 2002 on ps3 and ps4 have a platinum trophy
I'm an avid trophy hunter too so I was shocked to see no platinum! Its the same for a couple of resi titles that got re-released to the playstation: Umbrella chronicles & darkside chronicles didn't have one either 😭
I like both RE4 & 5. They each have their own positives and negatives. I personally never had a problem with AI Sheva I only give her 3 weapons max and she's super deadly with a rifle. I found Ashley more annoying since she couldn't fight back at all. I did kind of miss rearranging the case from RE4 but I enjoyed being able to switch weapons much faster in 5. 4 was a tiny bit scarier but I personally enjoy the more action oriented RE game anyways. I hated the quick time events in both games equally though and I heard it was even worse in RE6 but RE6 sounds like a huge cluster fuck from start to finish based on what I've read/seen of the game anyways.
For years i was on the same RE6 hate bandwagon, but once i finally did play it, i loved it. I can confidently say that all the hate is very misguided. It might not be a perfect RE game, but it sure is a very fun, engaging game after all.
The only time ive had an issue with shevas ai was on nintendo switch during the hide from wesker for seven minutes section, she wouldnt listen to me and kept running away to fight and die to jill
Did you give her any of your stuff? She loves to use good items and heals like its going out of fashion (or that's what she's done me dirty with)
I also agree, 4 is better alone, 5 is better when playing co-op.
I'm mildly mixed which I prefer. Originally I liked RE4 better, but after multiple playthroughs, surprisingly I find that RE5 is more fun to play and is actually more intense than RE4. The stories don't matter to me anymore with the amount of times I completed them, so I skip all cut scenes whenever I play them. Graphically, even compared to the HD project, I prefer the style of RE5 for personal preference but the art direction of 4 is better. The thing is, by all means I do consider RE4 a better game with fewer faults than RE5, but RE4 could literally swap out Leon with a new character and it would function as a completely different IP. RE5 feels thematically way more RE in lore than RE4. RE4 has better pacing and is perhaps a slightly better solo experience as a whole... but RE5 is just better at creating intense combat encounters that deliver constant adrenaline, and you can't hoard nearly as much ammo making combat much much more about precision and resource management, especially in deciding what to give solo-play Sheva what to carry since she doesn't act as conservatively as I do. It still is a very good solo experience, Sheva isn't so bad.
Being a veteran of both, I guess I prefer RE5 now because it's harder. RE4 is so easy to me now that it just doesn't induce the same amount of adrenaline and it has a lot of slower sections with few enemies. RE5 is just a great action game. RE4 is still objectively better imo but I can't deny the amount of fun I have playing RE5.
Honestly, I had a blast with both games. But as I got older, I really see how much of a RE4 skeleton RE5 had. RE5 is still my favorite in the franchise, but I do see why it’s controversial. I think it’s deviation from 4 had to do with the time in which it was released. I feel that The design philosophy was a reflection of other action games that were mainstream at that time (Left 4 Dead, Modern Warfare, etc). Instead of being a master of horror/puzzling gameplay, it started gearing more towards action and fun with occasional horror/puzzles.
However, I find that okay because I believe they expanded on it really well. Not everything is entirely creative (because many aspects of its structure is based around RE4’s) but the idea of playing more RE characters with a co-op experience is incredible. I truly wish that the RE remake games would implement local/online multiplayer.
In short, I see RE5 as a positive reflection of both RE4 structuring and the time period in which it was released in. Whether you like it or not, this game still sold more copies than haters like to admit. Also I’m a massive Wesker fan so that obviously contributes zero bias.
RE5, for me, is what Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is for other people. When I got my first 360 back in '09, the absolute very first game I bought was Resident Evil 5 because at the time I was at the height of obsession with Resident Evil ever since playing RE4 the GameCube. Similarly, I played it to death; didn't quite get all Achievements, but I had all the treasures, all the guns and had unlimited ammo for them all, every costume and so on. The game just absolutely blew me away.
Even so, I don't ignore things that are wrong with it, though I disagree on various points, such as the inventory management system, which I felt was one of the best things about RE5. RE4 got so stale going through with the same exact weapons each time and RE6's system is practically antagonistic to players.
You should go back and go for the remainder of the achievements sounds like you're really close!
@@SSJdavey I was, it's just that they're mostly the online stuff.
that's the worst stuff for me 🙃
I actually LOVE Irving’s voice. It’s so memeable and quotable. I always find an excuse to break out an Irving quote.
“I guess I wasn’t worth the good stuff…”
“You’re just in time for the fireworks show!”
“I’VE JUST HAD AN EXTEME MAKOVER!!”
“You’re makin’ me look bad!”
“Everyone looks down on me, but not anymore…”
And those are just from one chapter!
If they ever make an RE5R, and I’m sure they will, I hope they keep his camp and at least most of his best lines, and give him some new ones too.
Its certainly memorable, maybe I'll miss it if its gone 😅
I know what you mean, his dialog always stood with me too. Especially when he say, Everyone looks down on me but not no more
If re 5 had the same style as 4 as in free to roam progression instead of a straight run would be sick. Still love both though
I do play solo so I had "fun times" micromanaging Sheeva's inventory. I hate the way how you need a partner to unlock some treasures... devs forgot or didn't care about the solo experience. All I know is that when I play RE4 I can't stop because I really enjoy it, while the only time I played RE5 I rushed to the end and hit the uninstall button.
Yeah it's definitely better in multiplayer without a doubt
That's why you cheat and break the economy by glitching when playing solo lol
i actually dont mind about re5 not having a merchant cuz dude whats ghe merchant gonna do when ur an agent working for an agency that can supply you the weapons u want
I liked it, found it amusing but nothing more. Thanks for sharing this.
My pleasure 👍
I just hope they don't screw up the remake of RE5. But I had a blast playing it. I played through it many times online and with my sister
Its going to be a tough one to do imo. I wouldn't know where to begin
Capcom hasn’t even confirmed that the RE5 remake is happening.
It’s obvious the marchand was cut for the co-op, so the flow wouldn’t be interrupted as one of the players shop and the other wait they finished.
Once again I've returned with my opinions. RE5 is a very okay game with a very okay story with a very okay everything.
I didn't like it copy and pasting RE4. In fact, it's one of my many complaints. Act 1 felt so lazy. Abandoned village? Check. Infected villagers? Check. Searching for a blonde female? Fucking check again. I can go on and on why I don't like this Copy and Paste deal. But I'll just end up repeating myself. Also. That real time inventory is a blessing and a curse. Quick selects are a breath of fresh air for RE. No more pausing to select your side arm. No more pausing to heal. Just do it. Flicking down to switch to a heal, then flicking left to switch to your side arm (if you play that way) is awesome! But if you don't know you can do that, you'll just keep pausing to go through your 3 x 3 inventory anyway. A 3 x 3 inventory clutters up so easy. You gather all this ammo and end up having to to ditch some cause you have to pick something else up. And if you get the bullet proof/melee vest you're down to 8 slots! Let's say you have 3 weapons. 3 slots for ammo for your weapons. And one for your vest. That means you have 2 slots to spare on your own. Thankfully, you dont store key items or treasures in your main inventory which is a nice touch. And yes I know. You can save items before starting a new chapter or reloading a save because you died to a crocodile or Weskers savage bod. Click Organize. Go down to inventory, and you have your self a most generous storage system. However, you can only access it before loading a save and actually playing. That's pointless! The chest would work wonders over that. But I'll take what I can get.
I wont talk about Shevas horrible AI. What was said in the video are my thoughts exactly. This game was meant to be played coop. No one can tell me otherwise. Coop is just more fun anyway. Me and my friend were playing and we had a blast being just a bunch of idiots with guns. Fun story, we ran out of ammo and had to knife Weskers final form to win... which we did. Solo this game just makes you feel empty. But hanging with a friend and playing RE5 is a guaranteed good time.
One thing I respect RE5 for is it wasn't pretending to be a survival horror. It was very clear from the start this game was, is, and will be an action game. When it did try to throwback to "puzzles" like the totems and mirror puzzle, they just felt lazy. In fact, we did a mirror puzzle in RE4 too! Who woulda thought. RE5 does it again. Thankfully they were kept to a minimum and were only used as callbacks.
Also, is it me, or is the camera the best it's ever been? Tight and responsive to the touch. And it turns when you turn. Nice. Even the RE4 camera felt janky at times but my God does RE5 fix that.
RE5 is for those whoever thought "I wanna play RE4 with a friend." RE5 is not original in anyway. That said, the game itself isn't bad. I love the story. I love the gameplay. And it may be an unpopular opinion but, it's the story that makes a RE game a RE game. Not its genre. Survival horror or action, it doesn't matter. Its the story to me. And RE5 has that story. Chris and Weskers dialogue feel real to me. They're both done with eachother. No more games. They want the other dead. And the dialogue emphasizes that. A friend, searching for someone he's lost sp long ago. Hoping to find her, only to see her as a puppet to his mortal enemy. Even the lines "Jill, it's me! Dont you recognize me?" You can hear the desperation. Hoping to reach in there and pull his friend from the darkness only to be ignored. And Jill's pain once she wakes up and realizes what shes done. Plus the documents are fun to read. They're so well written it feels like you can see what's going on through the text. Its amazing. Characters are on par with the RE4 cast. Which is my favorite cast of all time. If you didn't love Chris, Jill, or Wesker before... you will now. They feel so fleshed out and no Cut scene feels like a waste. (DESPITE THE QTE) All are used to their highest potential. This game grips you with story. Tight gameplay. Fun enemies. And crazier backstories.
This game is a mixed bag of herbs. You'll feel some way after playing for sure. But you won't hate it. You'll like it for what it is. A RE story. Maybe not a RE game for all of you, but definitely a RE story for most. That said, it's an okay game. But play with a friend. For your own mental health.
Edit: I didnt bring up topics such as Set designs, weapons, and or gimmicks. Why? Well. As I stated (And was in the video) Most of that is just Copy and Paste from RE4. Talking about it is a waste of time. And as I've said before, I loathe the Copy and Paste deal whenever it rears it's stinking head. So you can imagine my feelings towards it. One big colossal "Uhhhhhg. This again." But copy and paste doesn't make a bad game. It just makes it significantly less fun to play through again. That's MY problem. The lack of replayability DUE to its copy and paste.
Great write up!
@Almight Egg completely agree on story making an RE game. I didn’t however love RE5’s story though. I liked the focus on Chris and Jill’s relationship and Chris’ determination to find Jill. I hated everything RE5 added to the lore. I hated that Umbrella was just a front for Spencer to achieve godhood. It was much scarier when he just seemed to be a twisted eccentric old man who only cared about profits.

I like the atmosphere in 4 wayyyy more but I like the story and gameplay mechanics here better. I’m happy that at least Sheva is somewhat useful. Ashley was useless lol
ashley was supposed to be that way. she`s a hostage after all. it adds challenge to the game.
Finally a sensible answer. This comment section has been full of RE4 dick riding
Ashely’s barely in the game so comparing her to sheva is just dumb
@@prl4122 Yep, they should mention Luis because that's what Sheva's identity partner idea comes from.

Played both resident evil 4 and 5 , amazing games . But damn the feeling of playing 2 players with friends and family. What made it even more fun , it had a great story , enemies , had less “ horror “ but had very great action/gameplay . Them chainsaws are more memorable and bad ass , and you can replay every chapter. Resident evil 4 fans just live of nostalgia 😂
In regards to the merchant. RE5 is meant to be constantly replayed. The mission select option would be hard with a merchant
They could just put him within the chapter couldn't they?
@@SSJdavey they could. I like the original solution better tho. That a problem RE4 has imo. The inventory system. Whenever you want to switch to other weapons you have to keep buying and selling. It's shit, once you've completed the game at least.
I get you, it would be cool to be able to own the weapons and swap them in from the merchant, he could make some money on the side by looking after your spare guns! 😆
i wonder where chris buy the weapons in re5.. no shop or merchant... also smaller carrying case.
@@fightingforce8498 smaller carrying case?
Unlike a lot of people, from what I saw, I don't mind at all the QTEs whether it's in RE4 or RE5 or any other game for that matter, I actually enjoy them more often than not.
But QTEs with mouse/keyboard in RE5 and RE4 can be borderline impossible to do reliably, like it's or left click AND right click ( the only easy one ) or X AND C or A AND E I think, so it's all over the place, forcing you to move your hand on the keyboard to do it, it's really difficult, whereas on a controller it's almost impossible to fail these QTEs.
And concerning if RE5 is better than RE4, while I think RE5 is a pretty solid coop game, RE4 is a way way better single player expérience in my opinion, the level design, the music, the atmosphere, the tone of the game in general, RE4 has a big focus on action but the atmosphere still remains really creepy and spooky, it has some good horror game vibes.
I'd fail miserably on that. Can barely type as is
Honestly the chainsaw guy was more intimidating in 5 than 4 at least in 4 you could knock them down with the shotgun
The thing about 5's first chainsaw encounter is the stress of that tiny alleyway...unless I'm thinking of a different first encounter 🤔 been a while now
@@SSJdavey It starts on a tight stairway, which encourages you to turn around and fight him in the more open area behind you. Also, when you take the key from the guy, he gets back up and starts swinging the chainsaw wildly.
i didnt play re5 yet, but i like the "partnership" theme that it has going, its kinda unique
For all its flaws it's definitely unique I'll give it that
Where I feel RE5 really lacked behind 4 was the environments. Alot of the beginning stages where soo forgettable and drab when compared to 4s' locations where near every part was burned into your mind your first time around. I do like the attempt of the daylight horror that I think was approached well, it's just that alot of the areas lacked the 'it' factor of 4s world. I hope the remake can really splash some sparkle on the world of RE5 since they can take many more freedoms in rebuilding the game since it lacked many iconic locations.
Re5 is a damn blast in co-op
Co-op hard carries it
This is far beyond from better than 4 but it is a fun co-op game as well as 6
Give Sheva the pistol and sniper only and let that be her role. Pistol for cover and the almost OP sniper on attack mode. She not only clicks heads with staggering accuracy, but goes to pick up any items and break all boxes for you, then gives you any ammo she can’t use. Since I suck at sniping I never had a desire to use the thing so I was on AR and shotgun duty. This worked out so well for me I’ll defend Sheva AI any chance I get.
I dont fault capcom for the QTEs. They loaded dm up in 4 when the concept was infant, we raved about it, so they doubled down on what we seemed to enjoy. Its what a company should do, in theory
Don’t understand why people claim stuff like saying, Sheva or Ashley is always getting in the way and getting killed. I played resident evil four and resident evil five soils, and I never had any issues with getting killed in fact, sheva was actually very helpful especially if you love me and covering me when I was messing with inventory
I remember wanting to record the QTE stuff with a video recorder because I actually wanted to see the cutscenes rather than mashing buttons.
Quick-time events is an example of a horrible game mechanics I am happy is gone.
re5 coop + coop mercenaries is the ultimate experience
Better than most of 6 but inferrior to 4 entirely. They made a huge mistake having it set during daylight.
Totally agreed - theres just 0 atmosphere in 5
Resident Evil 5 had night section too, tf ?
Exept the ship part was at night
true
I think the action focused gameplay makes sense with the context of you playing as someone who is experienced in dealing with biological weapons as apposed to the relative novelty of previous entries.
I have always preferred RE5 and is one of the few games that I have bought over on both the 360 and Xbox one.
I own RE4 on the gamecube and Wii as well, but I’ve never felt that super fandom that most people had w/ 4 until I bought RE5 and since many people have said that 5 is terrible and that 4 is better, but even my younger cousins remember this game and absolutely love it as well, so you decide, which one was better?
I’ve played RE4 a few times, beaten it just once. RE5, on the other hand, is my nostalgia game. The love people hold for RE4 is what I feel for RE5. I own it on like 4 or 5 different consoles, and I still play it now and then to this day. Incredibly fun and replayable game to me, especially co-op with a good friend.
@@Road_to_Dawnyeah same here. RE5 is a bit arcade-ish, but also expands on a lot of what RE4 got right while also allowing for the most fluid co-op options available whether it was online, locally or w/ the AI. Learning how to play this game well, is addicting and all the extra stuff that can be done with it is fun. The battles w/ both Wesker and Jill are funny and can be tough, but satisfying if you know what you’re doing. If you’re a trophy or achievement hunter, those online battles were the worst & the DLC isn’t as good as the single player campaign. However, whenever I’ve played 5, I go back to 4 to see the differences and each time I learn new things to appreciate from both regardless of how many times I’ve played either one. I know the partner gets dunked on, but spamming the communication options w/ the AI or w/ real people can be fun and commanding them isn’t as difficult as the video creator says here. I can’t think of anything better than one shotting everything w/ double unlimited RPGs in open areas or running around w/ unlimited hydras or lightning hawks.
I only put 30 playthroughs thru RE4. 15 hours for the first run, 6 hrs for the second, then about 4 hrs on each subsequent playthrough.
I have 789.6 hrs in RE5.
🫣....how?
@@SSJdavey I need more information on what you're asking
@@NeedsMoDakka just wondering how you've clocked up so many hours in RE5! It was more of a statement of shock rather than a genuine question 😅

If I can do 150 hrs in re4 remake since its release like three weeks ago, certainly doing 850+ hrs in 10 years is no biggie
lol...so, to clarify, in the aggregate, u still prefer R$. Did I get that right? Would love to see a comparison vid R4/5 Mercenaries. I'll check your backlog. Anyway, insightful video. Put my unenthusiastic sentiment towards R5 into perspective. Perhaps it may be a bit me enjoyable now.
What's r$?
@@SSJdavey Typeo - Res4...
Yeah I prefer re4 to 5 which is an opinion which changed and really surprised me when I experienced them both again
I recently have played through both games for the first time, I prefer RE4 it just has way more character to it and doesn’t take its self to seriously. I still like 5 as it’s fun to playthrough but 4 is better. I also love village as it takes so much inspiration from RE4.
Agree with you on this, its great to see Village take the re4 formula and add an extra layer of horror to it too which in my mind heightens the experience
Nice to see a fellow Welsh man here 👍
@@SSJdavey cheers mate! 👍🏴
I like 5 more than 4.

resident evil 4 is one of video games that will never end
this is why resident evil 4 considered one of the greatest games of all time
I just started playing re5 for the first time on pc solo. It’s a really fun game so far once I tweaked the controls and got used to her AI-but as for horror it’s basically non-existent lol 😂
yes. most probably too much lighting in re5. both of them should at least have different routes.
bro for me non of RE games are horror to me, not even 1% of dead space horror exp
"If you ever have to push a giant rock, don't take inspiration from Chris. Don't hook into it, just push it for God's sake!" 😂
I had no clue how many people didn't exactly like this game (Re5), I thought it was perfect and it's still my favorite Resident Evil game but hey we all have our own opinions and own things that fits us, Re5 worked well with me, doesn't have to be for everyone, I understand
Exactly! We all have our own tastes, likes and dislikes - nothing wrong with that at all 👌
Great stuff! You also really hit the nail on the head with the boss battles compared to RE4. Very little build up in RE5, definitely felt like boss battles for the sake of boss battles.
RE4 has you working your way up the ranks and we typically get a little bit of foreshadowing before the boss (hearing the El Gigante the first time we pass through the area, a brief glimpse of Del Lago as he consumes the police officer's corpse, a cutscene where Verdugo begins his hunt for Leon, etc).
Whereas in RE5, a giant bat thing comes flying in. You're on an elevator, and now there's a huge spidercrab out of nowhere. The pacing is all out of whack with 5 compared to 4.
Anyway, great review as always, thanks for the great videos!
I'll try and keep them coming! RE6 next 🥴

Nice video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I know I'm late to say something like this, but RE5 doesn't have that many QTEs in cutscenes compared to 4, just the motorcycle scene, the U8, Wesker in the plane, and the rocket launcher at the end
I'm not counting the two chases or the QTEs during gameplay cause he specifically said cutscenes, but if you want to count them, then... No, I still think RE4 still has an excessive amount of QTEs compared to this one (but 4 is still better lol)
Um yeah there is actually more qtes in re4 than 5 because in 4 you had the 2 boulders, the el gigante after cabin when he falls dead, the same thing but with double gigante, you got mendez, you got to move the joystick left and right when an enemy chokes you and when el gigante grabs you, you gotta mash a button for el gigante's parasite, the mine cart, the salazar statue, etc, but with re5 like i mean you have the bikers in 2-1, you got the thing when enemys choke you, wesker in the plane and volcano, excella's weird slimy arm things in 6-2, but thats really it.
The trick to playing with AI Sheva is that you only give her items you want her to use.
I didn’t like the co op and the inventory system. Other than that it could be argued it’s better than 4 but it’s definitely not scarier
12:27 re4 had a lack of atmosphere and tension? Did u even play resident evil 4? Or have u not played it for a long time?
I played it right before playing 5 like weeks apart, for me the only part of 4 that elicited any sense of tension is in the sewers - I really hope that part is extended in the remake, that bit was excellent
RE5 is the choice if you looking to have fun playing. Maybe is the second most played game in my life.
Just bought the re4 remake then played all the games in order just finished 5 loved wesker didn’t really like the setting tho
honestly i really like the setting of the game with the tribes men and stuff
Yes!!!! Absolutely!!!!!!
For dark soul game pick
Re5
It's aight, playing this on pc though, was quite difficult.
RE4 it seemed had heart in it, while RE5 felt like it was just there, it had no heart, it copied alot of 4 without diving further into what made it a masterpiece to fans and just settled on bits and pieces instead of the whole picture and then change it up a bunch in the middle of the same surface level similarities. People always talk about how RE5 sold more but don't realize that the Co-op made a huge difference because players naturally gravitate towards that and multi-player and the fact that Re5 was for a more casual audience and besides, RE4 won where it counted and that was awards and being recognized as one of the greatest games of all time by so many people compared to selling a bunch. RE4=heart, RE5=money.
The coop was a huge selling point at the time 100%
No heart? Don’t talk rubbish. I have problems with RE5 too but you’re just dick riding RE4 with that one. RE4 was for a casual audience too, it was casual as hell. That was the whole point of it, to make RE mainstream. It isn’t some deep complex game. Stop dick riding it
I just started playing 4 the other day for the first time. And god the controls for that game are horrendous.
This might just be because i played 7 and 8 first then 2 and 3 remake.
But i just can't play that game at all. It seriously needs a 2 and 3 style remake.
But 5 is pretty good so far so i'm hoping 6 is good gameplay mechanics wise.
For all the faults 6 has, its controls are fantastic 👍
You'll get used to them after a couple hours of playthrough, trust me.
Good video. Personally though I’ll take the campy straight forward “save the president’s daughter” plot of RE4 over the convoluted messy story of RE5. Also I wasn’t a fan of the co-op gameplay of 5 although if I had played it with a friend as opposed to the AI it might have appreciated that aspect more.
You 100% would have enjoyed it more with a friend I can guarantee that
Story wise with 4 and 5 I can respect your choice there, both are very different
Completely agree on RE5’s story. My god what have they done to Wesker!?
@@mtb5431As far as the Wesker complaint goes, I’ll defend it by pointing out he’s basically the exact same in Code Veronica, down to the matrix-esque bullshit look and powers lol
To be fair , I feel as though RE5 is a better version of RE4 in pretty much every aspect. The location and atmosphere is vastly improved , the story is vastly superior and the gameplay is a lot more refined.
In my opinion RE4 is one of the weakest games in the entire series , I'll honestly never understand why it gets so much praise
I think alot of fans came on board with 4 and thats why it holds such a special place to them, that's my guess anyway
I totally agree. I really dislike RE4 but love RE5. I just finished replaying both 4 and 5 over the past week, and I dislike 4 even more. The controls are just horrible, and IMO 4 was just way too long. The game just went on and on and on and you spent way too much time in salazar’s castle IMO. The story and action of 5 maintained my interest much better, and I like the surroundings way more. 4 is one of the most overrated games ever IMO.

resident evil 4 is one of video games that will never end
this is why resident evil 4 considered one of the greatest games of all time
The issues I will always have with 5 is with rosters of Characters we have we got Sheva & she has never been seen again. I always felt that was the dumbest decision. This could of been Chris & Leon, Chris & Claire etc.
Then Wesker being killed off really put RE6 & Revelations 2 into a horrible writing direction.
Having Wesker live at the end could of made 6 the best goodbye & introduce Jake in a different way.
Then Weskers Sister was killed in Revelations 2. Which could of been set up for a 3rd installment.
People always praise 4 & 5 as the best in the franchise, but 5 is truly where mistakes for the characters were made.
RE6 the story is how it is, because Wesker didn’t exist, people wonder why it didn’t make sense thats why.
I initially think Simmons is interchangeable with Wesker, for Dialogue as the story for Leon & Jake was set up to be completely different.
But with Wesker dead now the story was changed. Thats why it seems like where did Simmons come from🤷🏼 tf?
Then we have Alex killed in Revelations 2 & people wondering what happened to her.
I would have imagined at one point she was intended to survive to take Revenge on those who wronged Wesker.
Now that the formula and characters have become killed off. They then decided to reboot the series.
Which I don’t consider Resident Evil. I think RE 8 calling Village should be just that Village. 8 is just wtf? This is not RE anymore.
Revelations 3 needs to happen as where is Claire? Chris keeps showing up & it just doesnt fit or make sense.
I hope the winters story is dunzo! Total throw away characters! Especially the 1st person bs.
Resident Evil Code Veronica Needs to be Remade & put the franchise back to its roots.
Revelations 3 should happen after & should have Claire & Leon in a game again.
They could have done it in 6 but nope. Also omg bring Jill back she didnt get a proper goodbye at all. It made no sense with her revelations 1 & then Claire’s in 2 for Jill not to be in RE6.
Im not over the OG Characters, and I never will be because RE Village is terrible, the Winters are forgettable. RE7 is great as you forget who your playing as.
My issue is with RE9 how are they going to f up the franchise more? Or is it over?
RE3 Remake total bs.
But RE4 was a masterpiece just like RE2 remake.
It doesnt matter if the story line or characters dont age anymore. They added vampires and fungus. So bring everyone back, and make the games feel like Resident Evil Again.
RE6 gets so much hate but it feels like a Resident Evil Game. 8 does not.
I blame all this on the writers for 5. RE5 is okay, but this was the point in the series that caused a chain reaction to 3 games in development.
Is it good or bad because of that? I would say its bad.
Just because we really only encounter Wesker in Code Veronic for a battle. So his ending be short lived, was not the brightest idea in retrospect.
Then the idea of Alex taking over would have been great.
I think Revelations 3 should continue with original Characters & the main series can develop into whatever it wants then. I think thats why REV3 hasn’t come out.
I dont know how I feel about this series. I truly feel 6 was the goodbye.
7 was a reboot that turned into and identity crisis with 8 trying to use books & dlc to make it all connected.
Thats how I feel about 5 & the series lol.
RE 5 is playable (with a human partner), and is definitely better than RE6, but it’s not better then RE4.
I would say 4 is better overall. But it's better in that it had 2 player, which can be fun to play.
Resident 5 is still my favorite RE, emphasis on favorite, not the one I recommend or would say is the best representative of the series.
One of my mates says the same thing, it's the over the top nature and wesker that he adores, what is it that makes it your favourite?
@@SSJdavey Whenever somebody mentions Chris Redfield, it's this version of him I think of (I think Capcom feels the same since they put this version in Marvel vs capcom 3 and Infinite). I actually like the stiff tank controls of past resident evils but also the flexible action controls the later ones have, RE5 makes the perfect blend of both for me. Since the enemies are adjusted to your controls, it feels smooth to play. To me RE5 does a better job than RE4 of making the stiff controls work with the more action orientated nature of the games. RE4 feels more restricted (no melee move when enemies fall but are not dead, no reloading in inventory screen for example) and RE6 onward abandoned the tank controls (in return making the enemies faster and more frantic for me).
@@NoThing-wc3cs it is my point :
re4 is inspiration for re5 and re village
re4 is game of the year
re4 considered one of the best game of all time by many reviews
the merchant the new character in re4 is one of the most pretty well knowing characters in video game and he was inspiration for Duke in re village
re4 is one of the most revolution game for example dead space series took re4 camera views gameplay
re4 bcus his big legacy among of series even it was also available for android
re4 one of the best games in PS2
PS2 is the highest standard quality for video games
re4 had something that Made it rank #1 in the series according by almost everyone

re4 will never end
even as someone as me who haven't even played an single games of the series I will eventually I basically spoiled myself many game series I didn't even played because I like seeing people play horror games etc and am I the only one who would love an leon vs wesker fight because leon is my favorite RE character
Leon doesn't have a relationship with wesker so I'll be surprised to see it, it's an in house STARS issue more than anything 🤷♂️

Holy shit, man! I lost it with Dr. Evil.
Austin powers is an absolute gem. It's become a bit of a staple now I try to include one moment somewhere in a video 😂
@@SSJdavey I will unsuscribe just to suscribe again because of that lol
😂
I didn't platinum this game unfortunately but I was close only needing 2 on both Xbox and ps
But I completed the rest to the nth degree
Getting 999 on everything and maxing out the money
Which 2 are you missing? If you need a hand grinding I'm sure there's people either here in the comments or on a trophy grind forum on reddit that'll help out?

@@snakedaemongaming6590 ah! I remember those being a pain back in the day 💀
@@SSJdavey if no one plays you can't win them so they should of been optional or like dlc trophies and separate like new game plus on Spider-Man or any of the dlc trophies
I can't say better than 4.............. but it's more fun to play, or I should say replay. Mostly due to the replayable chapter structure, large amount of unlockable weapons, and quick swap weapons in gameplay.
For me RE 5 is better than 4. It's a very fun game. It was my first platinum back in 2009. I got the platinum playing alone and that was brutal on professional! Sheva is very, very stupid. The sections i failed the most were in that tribal village because the dumb AI would always grab a treasure on the floor trap and dies. The next place were in that enemy that looks like a roach. It was very, very frustrating playing solo on professional but still i like this game a lot. And yes, i play RE since the first one. Played it the first time back in 1997 on Playstation and been playing the franchise until nowdays.
I'm thinking about playing it again. Since 2009 i didn't play it. I remember the graphics were jawdropping back in the day and looks like it stills holds up.
