I just hope that aside from the what should be amazing
mercenaries mode
, that there is reason to play through the game multiple times-- apart from it being fucking awesome, mind you. I just miss the old RE days when you had multiple scenarios, even RE1 did that and RE2 took it to the next level entirely.

The game is going to be excellent. I have zero doubts about that. I just hope it has great replay incentive like the older ones did. I don't know how many times I played through Resident Evil 1; with Chris on different difficulties, with Jill on different difficulties, and then the same again on the Director's Cut, etc. And RE2, my favorite in the series not just because of its superior atmosphere and IMO the coolest story in the series (aside from CV) but the scenario A & B for both characters is, to me, one of the greatest surprises ever.

I won't be sickly disappointed in RE5 if there's only one purely straightforward way to get through the game, but I hope that RE6 brings back the alternating scenarios, or at least multiple characters. I think RE5 should have included a Chris scenario, a Sheva scenario, a Barry Burton scenario (for the lulz) and the co-op mode. But, I think co-op is going to be fantastic so there's not a whole lot to complain about.

Just sayin'. One of my favorite things about the RE series is the different ways to play through the same game, and how different they can be. I hope they bring this back in the future. But for now I'll enjoy kicking Wesker's stupid ass.

I seriously doubt it, this scenario seems crafted in order to create a striking mood of horror, panic, and tension. That part in Gears 2 wasn't really IMO.

Spoilers are running rampant around the internets. Be careful, everyone!

Hint: They're awesome. =)

Thank you. You know, that right there is enough to keep me from looking at spoilers. The ONLY reason I ever look at spoilers is so that I can see whether or not the story or whatever goes in the direction I want it to so that I'm not as disappointed just in case things go the other way (like in RE4, absolutely hated the plot), but you saying that the spoilers are awesome will keep me from wanting to read them to sort of ensure myself that it won't be a letdown :D

New spoiler-free preview from 1up. Here's some quotes.

Sheva's Your Pal: She's like Yorda from Ico, but gutsier, more helpful, and wields a Magnum. She picks items up if you tell her to, and also hands you items she recognizes you'll need (like ammo for whatever weapon you're carrying). She's not totally user-controllable, but she's handy in a firefight, makes a useful mule, and does a good job staying alive. Her pathfinding is also quite adept, as she rarely, if ever, gets stuck on anything.

Turrets Are Fun: Whether you're planted in a Jeep mowing down motocross bike-riding, Las Plagas-infected bad boys or in some explosive-filled shipyard, it's always satisfying to hop on a turret with unlimited ammo and cut enemies in half. Make sure you don't overheat your gun, though.

Buyer's Remorse: If you don't have room to pick up a weapon you find during your travels, don't worry -- it'll be available in the shop for purchase at the end of the level. Since Chris and Sheva both have limited inventory space, you may be tempted to pick up every gun you find, but it's probably best to upgrade a few core weapons' reload speed, attack power, and ammo capacity to max, before you spend money upgrading the other two dozen armaments you find along the way. Go for balance: A pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun.

The Visuals Are Some Spicy Meatball: While the overall visual quality of RE5 is astounding, there are a few levels which are truly a sight to behold, and easily look as good as anything in Gears of War 2 or Metal Gear Solid 4. Check out the detail in Chris Redfield's kevlar armor textures, and how the self-shadowing rolls over his physique. Even the survival knife strapped to his back independently animates depending on his motion.

Hell Yeah, Secrets!: RE5 has some unlockables that fans of the series will be very happy to see. This probably goes without saying, but it's obvious that the dev team covered all their bases when it came to the game's bonus features. Or most of them, at least. We still haven't found Akuma.

Jun Takeuchi Is No Liar: When RE5's producer assured us that this game had learned from RE4's mistakes, and wouldn't go on and on and on just for the sake of proving that Capcom could make a long Resident Evil game, well, he was being honest. RE5 is not a short game, especially when compared to earlier entries in the series. But it's a more concise experience than RE4's unnecessarily lengthy 30-hour gunfest (remember the castles? Yeah you do).

Same here. It really annoys me when reviewers stay stupid things like this. Especially since I read one review where the reviewer was praising RE5 for ditching the horror elements (then he listed is as a con later in his review).

I absolutely hate reading game reviews when the reviewers are retarded.

Yesterday I went click-happy on a website providing RE5 info and I stumbled upon that picture as well as a few other spoilers, but none of them were really really huge spoilers -- I guess. I was both happy about the spoilers but frustrated because I wish I could just wait for the game to come out. :lol I won't mention the spoilers because anybody can find them if they look hard enough.

I hope that these reviewers talking about these "awesome unlockables" aren't just talking about
Mercs Mode
, costumes and weapons. That's cool and all, but it's by no way the "best unlockables yet" >_>

Get To The Point Already: The research notes and journals are pretty long-winded, but you should read them for the backstory nonetheless. RE5 does a lot to put the vast, labyrinthine Resident Evil plot in perspective and context.

Okay I DID just highlight that, and while I'm no source of RE5 knowledge as I know as much as any of us, I seriously... seriously doubt that spoiler is true.

Yep. This is the biggest spoiler that I accidentally stumbled upon yesterday. However, I noticed that
the picture of Nemesis is some sort of mutated version of him and it doesn't look too much like I remembered him looking at the end of RE3. It makes me wonder if his base form will be in the game.

No more clicking links on random websites for me. :lol

I don't think you guys should read too much into
Nemesis
being in the game. I went looking for sources for the information and stuff and it seemed really sketchy to me. Most of that info was Babelfished, there's no telling.

Some posts from a Chinese blog allegedly revealing the plot of the game are circulating around the net. However all these posts are actually the blogger's own theories and compilation of info obtained from reviews, previews and interviews already posted.

People always whine about Type D controls, but Type D is still the best in the game. Being able to rotate your viewpoint is useful, but the ability to strafe trumps that in my opinion. Just the simple things, like being able to take a few steps to the side to insure I'm getting maximum effect from the shotgun, or to better position myself quickly and without having to completely yield my position make me appreciate the ability to strafe that much more.

Type A and C have a massive flaw. Since the melee button is the same as the shoot button, you can't shoot a point blank enemy if the melee prompt is on the screen. This is a critical technique for high-level play for quickly taking down bosses (my typical strategy for bosses is to down them, pump them full of shots, then melee just before they recover).

Is that stuff that wasn't present in the demo? Cause she never did any of that for me unless I opened the menu and took the ammo myself. She would run in front of me to pick up all the ammo including stuff for guns she didn't have, and then never gave it to me.

Yeah, if you had a rifle/shotgun, she would give you that ammo, maybe only if you were low, I'm not sure.

On another note, people are really going nuts over every single piece of pivotal information emerging - it's time for that game to be released already.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only reason it hasn't been released yet is to put a bit of space between this game and Street Fighter IV.

I'm very happy to hear that there will be lengthy papers to read. Hopefully we'll get some journals that are as creepy and well written as the ones in RE and RE: CV.

Is Degeneration even canon? Either way, I never saw it, and don't plan on it either. I looks worse than the live action movies. With that said, the first RE movie wasn't that bad.

Yeah, I read that too and saw the picture,
but it's mutated and looks more like William Birkin in his final form than Nemesis.

Yep the GT interview today even mentions it. Degeneration is freaking awesome, it's what I always wanted in a RE movie. It was like a giant cutscene and had all the qualities that fans love in the Resident Evil series (and I am serious).
