It was announced last week that the PC videogames client from Microsoft, Games for Windows – LIVE, would be receiving a Games on Demand service similar to that launched earlier this year in Xbox 360 prior to the year's end. And now, Electronic Theatre can bring you the full details on the launch line-up, and a freebie offered to early birds.
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
Try to cope with your friend through terror with this list featuring the best horror Co-Op games you can play today.
An exploration of whether RE5 is truly the most logical next step for a remake, or whether there are others in line who deserve their day in the sun.
Remake of Resident evil outbreak as well as file 2. Same gameplay as the recent remakes. Choose what ever character you want to play as. With online co op.
Nope.
Rather remake other past Capcom & non-mainline RE games ... IF they have to continue churning out Remakes.
I'd rather want a new 3rd person RE spin-off
Dino Crisis and Onimusha Reboot
New IPs after Pragmata ships
I've never really been one for downloading games, I've always preferred the retail copies to digital ones. But if Games for Windows picks-up titles like those on XBLA, I could see myself getting quite addicted...
no thanks
In my case getting the box and all is a big % of the gaming pleasure.
“With Games on Demand, we didn’t just want to create a cut-and-paste version of existing digital distribution services,” said Mike Ybarra, General Manager Electronic Theatre Imageof LIVE Engagement Services. “We challenged ourselves to deliver an integrated platform that takes full advantage of the unique capabilities offered by the LIVE service. Our goal has always been to create a seamless online gaming experience for the Windows community, and Games on Demand is a great step toward that end.”
So, what exactly will be different? I mean, other than the fact you can connect to Xbox Gamers...
I wouldn't touch this service even if Microsoft offered a free hooker with each purchase. The GFWL service is totally screwing PC gaming up and is riddled with DRM. The premier title on GFWL is of course GTA 4 a bug ridden sorry excuse for a port. However it gets worse even with Rockstar stating it has "unlimited" activations in reality you can only install it 10 times before you encounter the GFWL DRM and it kills your CD key.
If they use that kind of horrid DRM in games that only use the service then I dread to think what DRM they will be using for these downloadable titles.
After the GTA 4 debarcle I have decided to no longer purchase any games that carry the GFWL branding, this sorry dog end of an excuse for "saving" the PC needs to be taken out and beaten to death.
