Kotaku: With each new year, it feels like I’m watching another horror series becomes less horrific. Resident Evil, Alien, and most recently, Dead Space. What started out as pure, hardcore horror becomes a fun, popcorn-munching good time.
But hey, that’s OK. It’s the natural way of things. Horror isn’t mainstream.
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
Sclerosis, the Amnesia: The Dark Descent VR remake by modder Deesice is now available for free, you'll just need a copy of the original game.
Try to cope with your friend through terror with this list featuring the best horror Co-Op games you can play today.
Is this guy actually trying to justify the co-op and the over the top acrion pieces in DS3....wow iust wow
Give them the benefit of the doubt.....why, they must of saw the backlash from RE5s co op and yet they still did it. Come on, your basically bringing the backlash on yourself. They should olf learnt from Capcoms mistake.
Milk is
People need to realize that some gamers actually have "fun" being immersed in a well-tailored frightfest. Is it impossible for gamers to gain the same amount or even more enjoyment from playing a great survival horror by themselves, far from it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so please don't get the idea that you have to be with someone in order to increase "fun" factor......
Pretty sad that Sony is one of the only publishers left that let developers take chances.
Horror never was mainstream in any medium.
Abandoning your horror roots for not being mainstream is just a weak copout.
