"Resident Evil 5 wasn’t always a co-op game. In fact in much of the development (which started in 2004) the assistant characters, co-op idea, and who your partner was changed dramatically. However through all stages of development Chris was the main character and Wesker was the villain, that fact remained true all the way until the game’s completion. Originally Sheva was not a member of the BSAA or Chris’s partner, but an NPC character who you would meet later in the game as part of the local militia. The town had become a bio-weapon war zone of sorts where people had barricaded themselves into homes and shelters and to enter these areas Chris would have to manually get rid of the barricades himself. Chris was always to be a big muscle man since the beginning, in fact, his muscles were even bigger in the beta. He’s muscular because he had been training to defeat Wesker."
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
Why the fvck didn't Capcom stick with this concept.
I really hope the next RE brings back the T Zombies. I miss them dearly. The majin just seem like a mob of angry people rather than terrifying enemies.
Loved the Lickers and the reapers in RE5. they had the classic RE feel.
Why Capcom Why!!!!!!!!!!!
The exact same thing happened with the resident evil 4, you guys remember the version how leon was inside the haunted house and there were ghost and shit, remember guys, but instead they changed it around.
it would've been great if this game only has chris in it..
"There even came an idea where they planned Chris to journey to Africa with Barry Burton instead and the two of them would save Jill!"
Barry... :(
