Resident Evil 5 has been a hot topic for debate. From wild claims of racism to dated control schemes, long time series fans are lining up on both sides of the picket fence. In a recent interview, Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi defended the title's controls in response to all the heat they were taking. By limiting the players actions, he insists, it actually creates a more suspenseful feeling.
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

Eternal Darkness was way ahead of its time especially for a Nintendo exclusive.
I would love to see a remake or sequel (multiplatform)
4 people love Eternal Darkness.
Quick! Jump on that remake, whoever holds the rights these days.
GameFlavor's Resident Evil First Aid Drink is making a comeback, offering high quality Resident Evil merch.
i still think theres got to be a better way to create tension then by making the game play so awkwardly
I like the controls. I co-sign with Capcom
People should stop whining about the controls, if your not good at RE then dont play it!
YEAH INCREASES THE TENSION AND THE FRUSTRATION
anyone who doesnt admit that Capcom isnt kicking major ass is delusional. Look at all these games: SF4, RE5, LP2, DR2 etc...
I 100% agree with the producer, and it does in fact create tension, they accomplished their goal all the way. This is RE not a third-person shooter. No reason for complaining people just love to hate. Anyways I'm buying on of the greatest games of 2009 on March 13 whos with me? (hint: millions)
Edit: yup, Bionic Commando is AAA, i will be getting that game.
