So, does anyone know what the medals you can shoot throughout the game are for? Or is it just an achievement/trophy?

Achievements say that they are just achievements. If there's any in-game stuff linked to them, it's yet to be seen.

Excellent work on the thread. I won't be in here too much until after release since I've been on a pretty complete media blackout. I went into RE4 barely knowing anything and loved it. Seeing as I adored the demo I'm pretty damn pumped for this. My bandwidth issues should be worked out right around the release of this so I'll add my PSN. Just let me know you're from GAF and saw me in the RE5 thread if you add me.

Daigoro, putting you under XBL since apparently GT = GamerTag. :p

Nice work on the thread, I'm really stoked for this game and enjoyed reading the plot history as well as Wesker's Reports. I'm gonna try and stay out of here until the game releases to avoid spoiling any surprises, but it's bookmarked nonetheless.

Milky brings us the 3rd part of the Resident Evil 5 cover story, the interview with Takeuchi. A pretty good read, brings up Mikami, controls and the other issue.

JT: That's a very good question. When it comes to making a Resident Evil game, first and foremost it must be a horror game. That's a very important element in making an entry in the Resident Evil series.

*rests case*

JT: I don't think that we're necessarily limiting what you can do in Resident Evil. On the contrary, Devil May Cry is the type of game that has a lot more abilities added to it because it's important for that character to be incredibly stylish and powerful; to pretty much be able to do anything that he wants. They took a regular game design and then put loads of other stuff on top of that, whereas being stylish plays a lesser role in Resident Evil. Having said that, when we approached Chris in Resident Evil 5, we spent a lot of time on his design -- especially on his biceps.

So I played the demo again today.

It was fun, as always. Though, I still pretty much stand by the opinion that Public Assembly is garbage.

Why do you think that? I think it's a lot more fun than Shanty Town. Personally, I've gotten to the point where I play Public Assembly almost exclusively, except when playing as Sheva (since there's no stage select in that case).

Oh yeah, might as well list my info.

In co-op it may be tolerable (I know that you've played the demo a ridiculous amount in co-op) but otherwise it just isn't that fun. The sequence we play in the demo is just one big hold-off of enemies. Just running around, collecting stuff, shooting enemies, rinse, repeat.

The atmosphere and objectives in Shanty Town (like protecting Sheva with the sniper rifle) are just more compelling. Though, I'm not big on the chainsaw fight either.

In fact, none of the chainsaw fights in this game, I bet, are going to be that great. In one of the previews I saw, they showed a fight with the chainsaw Majini in the warehouse, and that didn't look fun at all. Just that same run, turn around, shoot, turn around, run, turn around, shoot bullshit that I've been tired of for a while now.

But yeah, the main offender is Public Assembly. Just doesn't do anything for me. Even as an action sequence, it's merely "okay."

Okay, I made the Resident Evil 5 GAF Gamertag.

If you're interested in playing online co-op on the 360 with other GAF members, then add the Gamertag GAF RE5 to your friends list.

I believe I already added everyone that listed their Gametag in the OP and in the posts above.

I just watched the Gametrailers RE Retrospective that was linked in the OP. It brought back a load of memories about those games. I would still love to see Capcom remake RE2 in REmake fashion. I really want to fight more Crimson Heads.

Hmm, I can see where you're coming from, but the reason I enjoy the Public Assembly and the chainsaw fights aren't the mechanics by themselves, it's the way the environments are designed around them. The Public Assembly is such a great playground to me, and the way the Axe-man keeps you moving around it (assuming you don't kill him quickly like I usually do :lol ) is just so much fun, for me. The same goes for luring the Chainsaw dude around the barrels in Shanty Town (although the battle with him is a lot more fun when you have a partner, or give Sheva a strong weapon like a rifle and set her to attack mode).

If all you're doing is shooting, turning around, running back, turning around again, and shooting, you're missing out.
