Coop is good but I've never enjoyed the game all that much. Just mob after mob, get's so repetitive. Tried too hard to be RE4 but w/ coop.
Graphics are good though.

Resident evil 5 was awesome, and I hope it gets a remake.

Game was pretty bad. Every enemy encounter felt insipid and joyless. The level design was disjointed and uninspired, and the pacing was awful. The controls didn't feel as tight as RE4. Forced co-op was lame and ruined the atmopshere, and the on-rails/turret segments were the cherry on top of bad design.

The game played well, the graphics were awesome but, the forced co-op, the setting (most scenarios/stages are in broad daylight) and the segmented nature of the stages didn't do it any favours.
I can excuse the matrix Wesker BS, the boulder punching etc but, while I liked the game well enough for what it was, it didn't really jive with me - the DLC was good though...
Anyway, if they fix a couple of things it may well surpass the original , after all, it was much, much better than the trainwreck that followed (RE6).

I remember being so excited for the release of RE5. Does anyone remember Capcom had this website for RE5 with some backstory of how the Kijuju incident traumatized Chris and there also was a live action video of Chris Redfield on a date but he couldn't focus or something like that and she ended up leaving. Anyway, like RE4, RE5 innovated all over again in terms of action survival horror being much more fast paced in a military type (BSAA) operation. Not only that, but the other huge change was the first time a RE game in the main series being co-op. Personally, I really enjoyed RE5 along with the co-op and thought it to be an amazing and fun game. However as a RE game, being compared to the old school traditional sense or even RE4, I think that's why some may not care for RE5.
I like how it seems that Chris Redfield gets the military action packed storyline, when I think about it, it makes a lot of sense because Chris has been dealing with B.O.W.s for a long time and he's not new to this situation. Not to mention he is an ex-member of S.T.A.R.S so it shouldn't surprise fans that they go that route for Chris. Plus I like how he gets the high-end artillery in his arsenal.
The A.I. though is bad to me when playing single player. There wasn't much effort put into it. For example: Chris or Sheva will thoughtlessly use strong weaponry and waste let's say shotgun shells for one Majini or if you gave the A.I. a magnum use it unwisely. I haven't played RE5 in a long time alone so I don't remember all the other nuisances, but I remember the A.I. being pretty basic and low tier level compared to what A.I. can do if they focused more attention for that for those who don't have family or friends and don't want to play with strangers.
And yes, if RE5 is in the works to get a remake, I would get it because the original was super fun and I would hope they focus on the A.I. a lot more to make the overall single player experience enjoyable.
Now from what I observed about RE5's controversy about racism is so asinine to me and here's why. For one most if not everyone who claims racism isn't even of African descent and from what I notice is that most if not all Africans that enjoy RE have agreed that RE5 was not and is not racist. I am bi-ethnic (African-European) but mostly African according to my DNA percentages and for me personally I do not think RE5 is racist. Not even if they decided to use an area of Africa for reference that mostly or all were Africans. Secondly, this story takes place in Africa, who do you expect to find mostly in Africa? Well it does depend on the location and from I think I remember is that Capcom went to a region in Africa that had a variety of different ethnicites when getting real world reference for RE5 setting. So that's why you see different ethnicities in RE5 in Africa. And third, what if the role were reversed would it still count as racism? Such as: Assassin's Creed Liberation. The character's action, mindset and scenario is what would determine whether what they were doing was racism, survival, liberator, and so on.
Now the main issue from what I recall was called racism is about a trailer released where it showed a Caucasian woman bursting through the door screaming for help and an African man (Majini) grabs her and drags her back inside. Also I believe this mystery woman with the blonde hair was Allyson who was mentioned on the RE5 website. Anyway, for the US release of RE5 this scene changed from an African man (Majini) to a Caucasian man (Majini) and she was no longer wearing a solid red dress. I don't know if there were other changes according to other countries. That is what initially sparked the racism which then turned into Chris shooting and killing Africans. How the heck did the attention get shifted from what originally was complained about is interesting. And...does not Jill and Leon shoot and kill the zombified citizens in Raccoon City that are different ethnicities and no one claims racism? Because it's about survival and has absolutely nothing to do with a person's ethnicity or the color of their skin.
But apparently it matters for some reason when an infected African man from a video game proceeds to infect a Caucasian woman with the Las Plagas which by the way, the Majini would infect ANYONE, yes even their own.
Now that original trailer had been erased unless someone backed it up.

Exactly. I had zero problems with Sheva because I know how to manage tactics properly.Player issue, I've played with enough human partners to say that AI was without a doubt better than most of them on pro difficulty; I couldn't even get past the gigante boss fight on pro with one of my friends, because he sucked at shooting the boulders and shit. AI? Aimbot fucking precision.
Also people complaining that the AI wastes ammo, even though they set the AI to "attack"; wtf do you expect it to do?
Give the AI weapons that take advantage of their precision, like the submachine gun and the sniper, and then remove any weapon that has overlap with your inventory and have them pickup something (like a grenade and then request it); they AI will then actually learn to automatically give you grenades and ammo you are using.
Every time I hear people saying the AI is bad, it just reminds me of people shitting on their team mates in pvp games; nah it's you bruv, you suck.

I liked the game for the most part and wouldn't mind a remake of it but Capcom needs to move the series forward and away from the Winters first. I want to see a new Resident Evil game with what they've done and learned with the remakes. It's time for Jill to star in something new and mainline.
That said, they could build on what they're doing with RE4's shooting and melee system and have a pretty awesome co-op experience with RE5R.

RE5 is one of favorite RE games because it’s the perfect co-op game for my brother and I; Sheva is even left-handed like my brother, which is a neat little detail (which would probably be ignored in a remake). It’s like a less-good RE4 with co-op. Plus Wesker is awesome in it as the main villian.
That being said would they even be able to remake it? They would have to cut probably half the game if they used “cultural advisors” like they supposedly have for SF6. Also it’s still a damn good looking 360 era game (piss filter aside), so would it really need a graphical overhaul?
I don’t know maybe they could just redo RE6 into an actual good game.

I thought it was fine personally, but not to the point where it needs/deserves a remake. I think it works well with 1-4, and that's really it.

There's no way they'll ever remake RE6. One because it's the worst received mainline entry in the series, but also because it had the biggest budget of the series and it wasn't exactly a financial success for them. The sales they made when the game was at full price, didn't recoup the cost for making the game. If they made it today, we're talking about them making 3 Campaigns worth of a game, with modern graphics. Re6 is best left in the past, forgotten about.
IMO if they're going to do another remake, they should remake Code Veronica, and let that be the end of it. Code Veronica could actually benefit from a remake because:
- It's a good but flawed game.
- It didn't get enough exposure.
- It's important to the lore of the series and sets up RE5.

I hate to link Kotaku (but I couldn’t find it anywhere else), but they already seemingly said they don’t plan to remake CV. Which is why I omitted it. Though I would agree I’d rather see that remade. I just figured they’ve been remaking numbered titles so RE6 would be my next choice for gameplay reasons.

Someone needs to make the thread - of every game ever getting a remake.
No new games - remakes only.
Lets just pick out the dumbest shit and get it remade.
As for RE5 its fine as it is - and playing in Co-op is the only way to do it. People who play RE5 solo are basically the ones who dont like it - because finally having co-op in the RE series was a blast. I always imagined playing RE4 with a buddy - and RE5 delivered exactly that.

For now at least. I'm not getting my hopes up, but I'm not totally convinced Capcom are gonna be done riding the Remake gravy train after RE4R, especially if RE4R sells incredibly well for them. Even the critically panned RE3R sold 6.4 million units. I think they're just saying they have no plans because they've been busy with RE4R, and RE9. I wouldn't be surprised if plans change.

To each his own. Just feels like everyone would have been happy if things had gone differently (the same way almost everyone seems to be happy with all these other remakes)
But, eh, the ff7 remake we got was a damn good game regardless

I personally value developer's freedom the game they want to make, SE went different direction with FFVIIR and I'm glad they did.

There's just two kind of people and two kind of opinions foe RE5.
Those who played through it in co-op.
And those that played alone.
Only one group liked the game.

Thinking about it, there really are a lot of new big budget remakes:
Silent Hill
Max Payne 1 + 2
MGS (rumour)
Splinter Cell (rumour)
Prince of Persia (remaster?)
COD modern warfare 3 (reboot?)
The Last Of Us 1
Gothic
System shock
FF7R pt 2
KOTOR
Not counting the recent ones (Dead space, Metroid, RE 2/3, GTA Trilogy, THPS1/2, Ratchet and clank?, Mafia, Spyro trilogy, Demons souls, etc).
Not that I'm complaining though.
I also don't think RE5 will be joining them anytime soon.

Its a great remake, but the main problem is that the game was split into multiple parts.

Because despite of its title FFVIIR is not actual “remake” even devs themselves confirmed that it’s story reason why they chose put “remake” on the title.
In fact if you look at majority of remakes coming out these days, most of them never put “remake” on the box but FFVIIR did and Part 2 it’s called Rebirth and based on how SE likes title their games like Kingdom Heart 358/2 days, it becomes obvious “Remake” has entire different meaning.

Just want to give a tip to anyone who is thinking about playing this solo: Give Sheva the first sniper rifle you find and let her have that as her only weapon. That should resolve most ammo issues.
As for a remake: I think they should and will remake it. Isn't it like the best selling entry in the franchise? They basically have the design of the game already laid out for them with the remake of RE4. Re5 has a lot of issues that can be resolved with a proper remake.
The setting ,characters and excellent co op are enough to warrant revisiting this entry.

All those details? The huts, sure, but spears and war masks? I’m just saying I’ve never seen modern photos of people in any African country like that. If they are still around, I’d be curious what percentage they make of the whole population.
You have to understand, Capcom already fucked up in the OG RE 4 using the correct dialect for the Spaniards (also simply referring to the place as “Europe”) so it was understandable for people to expect them to make errors in portraying other cultures, wouldn’t be a first for them.
And hey, maybe if Capcom would specify countries, it’d be easier to get a sense of accuracy or not. Street Fighter by the same company always specifies, I don’t know why RE sometimes has this issue. Hard to tell if they’re portraying the region correctly when all we’re told is “Africa” (LMAO, imagine how weird it would be if someone made a game set clearly in Japan but everyone just said the characters were in “Asia”).

One of the worst RE games ever made along with most of the 6 and just like 6 it's not RE, it's a dumb and stupid af action game.
If they're going to remake 5 and 6, it must be completely new games built from the ground up as if original games never existed.

I quite agree. Its also for me the best RE in the 3D series with the best story and set of characters. I love it to be remade and that's really where the remake's should stop.
I really enjoyed RE5 but it doesn't need to be remade.
