BD Writes: You should be warned this article could probably be renamed to something along the lines of 'What I Want in Resident Evil 6, and why it really doesn't need a multiplayer', because I feel that a lot of the problems I have with RE5 stem from the series' recent foray into co-op play. So if you're of the mind that every game needs a multiplayer feature to be worth $60, there's a very good chance you won't be gleaning too much here (but I guarantee my occasional clever witticism still make reading this worthwhile). If you're like me and you feel that Resident Evil 5 let you down, you should definitely read on to hear me bitch and moan about what the game did wrong and how I think Capcom can fix it all with Resident Evil 6.
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 want to be able to shoot and move at the same time...or ELSE!
I want to fight actual scary zombies. I didn't like the environments and I didn't like the boss fights, and I think working together with another person made it less scary. Overall, I wanted a scary game.
This has got to be the best thing I've read all day and I completely agree with almostr everything.
I really REALLY hope Capcom reads this.
couldn't agree more ... take out the crappy co-op and make a game with a scary campaign that keeps you guessing and on your heels until the credits role <-- that right there is what made resident evil so popular
RE series is pretty much done. They need to make something new. Capcom isn't a very good developer anymore. They need to make bigger budget games that are being made by bigger development teams. They haven't made anything that deserves a 9 this generation. Combine the Devil May Cry team with the Resident Evil team.
