I didn’t realize how many people disliked RE5. I absolutely love it. I thought it was totally awesome. I loved playing with my friend. I even found that the AI did pretty good. Whenever people say they dislike it they bring up inventory management and relate it to RE4. I could see the multiplayer not clicking for some, especially those who prefer to play alone.

If you didn’t like it, why not?
if it does get a remake what changes would you like to see?

I'm actually quite interested in what ways they could improve the game. Hopefully they could go the Dead Space 3 way in handling the co-op partner: he's there when someone's playing with you and taking a different path when you're playing alone.

I found the forced AI partner pretty annoying. Especially them running up to my character all the time and blocking my field of view when I was exploring and searching levels. The forced AI companion was dumb. But forced co-op games I pretty much always dislike.

I say let you swap characters on the fly vs having a dumb AI companion. And if you want co-op, then it reverts to the old system of both on screen at once.

Swapping would be cool, because you'd basically be able to have two loadouts always ready to go.

I think I would really like that mechanic actually.
 
I'm with you OP , I absolutely loved RE5.



Super fond memories of playing it via system link with my 2 xb 360s with a buddy. It's about as good as a co-op game gets for me. The Qte's kinda suck but it's a minor complaint. Co-op Mercs is amazing also.

I'd be ok with a remake , especially if they could somehow do a singleplayer option with better AI.

I'd want them to update the camera and controls to something RE4make though.

Liked it. Way too action and dude bro, but enjoyable as a refined action TPS. Nothing close to the subtle charm and atmosphere RE4 had.

Fantastic cinematography as well, though incredibly retarded narrative.

I thought RE 5 was really good but the forced co-op was annoying sometimes. I don't have anything against Sheva, she's a cool character in RE lore, but the AI for her was not up to par and she fucked up a lot of sessions to the point where I couldn't give her any healing items. If Capcom manages to sort out that or find a way to make it single player without losing the team work between her and Chris I wouldn't be against a remake. But it's probably best to leave it alone. I think the game still holds up. I also remember the game being caught up in controversy with the game being set in Africa so I doubt Capcom wants that sort of attention now that they are on a roll with their remakes.

That‘s the one where they went all pc and shit and tried to sell us a resident evil which plays in the deepest depths of africa with white natives in it. Yeah, no dawg, I‘d pass.

I'll say yes to every project that involves making a AAA 2 player coop game that isn't a fucking loot focused GAAS.
 
Both 5 and 6 are the Resi games that need to be remade eventually... BUT I'm not sure if it's a good idea to remake RE5 in the current climate. I mean, the game ALREADY had a lot of controversy regarding its depictions of Africa when it was released in 2009. Remember that they had to sprinkle in some white zombie models to appease dumbasses and journalists that accused the game of being a colonial fantasy thing lol

That said, Hogwarts Legacy has proven that those kind of people can be safely ignored if the game is high quality.


In any case, I would love to see Sheva again.

I prefer 6.

RE5 got completely ruined with shitty inventory and awful partner AI. It was also chasing stupid modern military shooter fad with its style and the story was god awful like those Paul W.S. Anderson movies. RE6 at least dropped the pretense and leaned into its own stupidity but RE5 was just drab and cringey and I can't remember ever playing through it without getting bored or annoyed.

I definitely want them to keep the co-op. I honestly don’t think it would be fun without the co-op. Maybe it was trend chasing, but I feel like they did it really well. Capcom is on fire when they release these remakes.
Imagine that shit running on the RE engine, playing online with better Internet speeds.. fuck it’s gonna be so dope. Hopefully it’ll have a 120 FPS mode. Another thing I really miss is just co-op shooter linear campaign games in general.
I simp RE5 for real.

Yeah I remember there being a little bit of controversy, but at the same time it’s resident evil. We’re talking about a virus that wipes out places. That shit kills the president in RE6. I think maybe people took what is the MOST fictitious game on earth and found a way to be outraged. I’m sure a reset-error will have a field day. Can’t be worse than uncharted though.

That being said in the current climate if things need to be changed I’m fine with it. If it comes down to having a remake with some changes so that people don’t go fucking bat shit on Twitter versus not having one I’ll take the L.
As long as the core gameplay doesn’t change.

I never played this single player so I didn't really get the complaints. It was a fun game that I played with my brother and beat several times over with him.

Well they could've just had a black lead, would've solved that problem and made more sense lol but nooo, Thats too wild for japan to ever do lmao

Compensate by having a strong black side woman character instead. Black male lead is too radical...lol

Well yeah..its the typical africans all live in huts and what not trope. Not exactly depicting any major metroplis cities that exist in Africa.

But hey the re4 wasnt exactly in a well devoloped area either in all fairness...

Its just hilarious how subconsciously determined they are to have a white lead on both the game with spaniards and africa from a japanese dev should tell you what demographic society caters to lol

I don't mind it but I prefer the gameplay of RE2make, any of the older games and even Village/4/4remake. I'm not keen on the exceptionally limited inventory and practically no puzzles. The tone and everything was also very trendy for the time but didn't do anything for me, and recently replaying it I didn't hate it, but wished I was playing a different game more often than not. It was also my first time playing with the AI instead of a friend, which I had previously done back at launch with I think 4 or 5 different friends. I get the faster pace works better for coop but it also really detracts from the single player. Sheva is a great design and character, not too bad but also too trigger happy. For me the whole game feels like an arcade game with all the over the top set pieces, like the vehicle sections, rather than a mainline entry.

I wouldn't mind a remake but think Code Veronica needs and deserves one far more. Especially for QoL improvements. I'd also rather see new entries that take the gameplay of RE2make and 4, and improve upon them. Also Dragon's Dogma 2. Show me something already! Can't wait for next week lol.

Also, before RE5&6 getting any remakes they need to get their asses in gear and do Dino Crisis 1&2.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
It was decent. I don't think it needs a remake really. I would much rather they use the resources for something else.
