More pumped for RE5 than Chris Redfield's pythons

Yeah she does great most times but other times (like 30 min ago when we last played) she sat back and watched me get gangbanged by zombies :lol her issue isn't with the controls either once i told her not to play it like an action game and what key spots to aim at.Neiteio said:
Yay, a thread that gives the game the credit it deserves instead of the bashing by the vocal minority. It doesn't really need to be done since it'll sell millions and be critically acclaimed by almost anyone capable of reason, but it's refreshing nonetheless.
You know what GAFs problem is? Games must fit a very specific mold or else they are complete failures. I played RE5 with a few friends and they didn't say a word about the controls. They adapted and we had a blast blowing away chainsaw people in co-op. And the best part is, they're all looking forward to the game now despite having no previous exposure or interest in the franchise.

I'll concede that it's pert good, but only when using Type A controls. Type D is :lol

Yeah, I love the demo. I can hardly wait for the game! I've played the demo for hours and hours; I just can't get enough of it! The online cp-op is so fun... I'm literally going to crap everywhere and eat it when I can finally play the entire game over Xbox LIVE.
On a side note: In Public Assembly, if you don't like your partner, tell him to jump out the window (while you're both already in the house) so you can "do something cool", then board up the window and door so he can't get back in. Then just watch and laugh as they are stuck fighting all those enemies by themself while you're safe in the house. It's even funnier when they try to get back in through the door, not realizing it's blocked.

I absolutely loved the demo. I play with whatever controls are the ones exactly like RE4's because those totally rule. RE4 is one of the greatest games I've ever played in my life.
My only complaint is that I wish I didn't have to play with the computer. I feel like co-op game play is ruining the single player experience. I appreciate co-op game play as a secondary feature in the game itself but this game is now designed around it and cannot be play alone. So you either play with a person or play with a stupid computer character. Neither situation is always ideal. The computer will never be smart enough to do what you want all the time and if you play with strangers sometimes they will be way better than you forcing you to play a way you arn't comfortable with or way worse than you and just slow you down and waste your time. I wish there was some middle ground where you could play the game alone but still have a co-op that was good enough to warrant it actually being in the game.

Out of all the games I've pre-ordered (Resident Evil 5, House of the Dead: Overkill, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Street Fighter IV and Killzone 2), I think this is the game I'm most excited for after the demo. Too bad it's coming out last

Type D controls broke my brain. I tried it for a few minutes and immediately went back to the default setup. :/
I don't understand this. The only real difference between Type A and D is that with A you can shift the viewpoint and with D you can strafe. Otherwise it's the same ability set assigned to different buttons. There is no dramatic shift in control, unless you're way better at aiming with the left stick than you are with the right or vice versa.Red Blaster said:

I hope you're right, but the vocal minority seems to have infinite funds and free time and tolerance to play games they don't like.... they can sure make it hard to talk about Resistance 2 and Grand Theft Auto 4!

Anyway, I want to know what the blue medal you can shoot in Shanty Town does in the full game. This is my most anticipated game in a long time.

I had an absolute blast with it in co-op. I'm picking it up instead of Killzone 2 actually, which is funny considering I wasn't even remotely considering buying it until I played the demo. Now I can't wait.

Awesome. Awesome to the max.
RE5 co-op is bloody brilliant.
If I get anymore pumped for the game than I am now, my crotch would explode.

That's how I play. Fastest is the only way to play the game. It's funny, RE5's fastest aiming speed is only as fast as RE4's default (and only) speed.Threi said:So...i'm the only one that thinks Type D + Fastest aim speed is the best?
Poor me, I like the shittiest of the shitty control schemes

I loved Chris Manfield B) (No homo)
Am I the only person that uses Type C controls? Classic RE 4, but with the ability to strafe.
I hate Sheva, and I'll be stuck with her AI because I have no interest in co-op (I like playing adventure games alone at my own pace) but I still love the demo and I know I will love RE 5. Sheva is the only significant negative in an otherwise exquisite game. Sure, I'd have liked to have seen more gameplay innovation than strafing and babysitting. But RE 4.5 with even better scenario design - less linear gameplay and more village-style strategic battlegrounds - will definitely scratch my post RE 4 itch. No other game has come close. I'm pumped.

Yeah, I'm using type A as well. Something still doesn't feel quite right when compared to the GC controls, I can't figure it out. I think it might be how Chris has to physically pick up items this time. I didn't like the confirmation screen in the GC version, but things still went faster if you just jammed A and accepted the item.
Actually, that and the real-time inventory are giving me minor problems. Go figure, the two stupidest design choices in RE4 actually grew on me. :\

Type A still feels retarded to me. I hate taking corners and making small movements around the tight environments with the tank controls. I don't see any cons to having more mobility via type D.

Hooray for RE5 love threads!
My most anticipated game in quite a while. I really enjoyed the demo, and the full game looks to be even better.
And no, you can't strafe while shooting, but you can strafe while walking.

I've been busy with homework today (yaaay, Saturday!), but later tonight I hope to boot up the demo and give Type D another shot. I tried it briefly once and dismissed it because I couldn't figure out how to run; since you move forward and back with the left stick and turn with the right, I couldn't press X while moving. But now I know I can push in the left stick to run. I'll have to try it again and see if the addition of strafing ups my game. Sounds like it'll be Warhawk-style controls, but with stop 'n pop and FEAR-style sprinting.
I remember some people hacked the 360 demo and found leftover code revealing content later in the game. Who were the Mercenaries characters again? I remember
. Anyone else? Man, I can't wait for the inevitable (confirmed?) Mercenaries Mode. I honestly would've paid full price for that portion of RE4 alone.
I'm still blown away by how awesome the RE4-style gameplay is. Is anyone here trying this gameplay for the first time? Is RE5 the first RE4-style game they've played (as in, they didn't play RE4 before playing this demo)? I'd like to hear your impressions!

I recall reading that it was stock music. Still besides Resident Evil 3, I don't like that much besides isolated tracks in the series. Then again horror music can sometimes be hard to fully enjoy out of its context.
Type D is my fav, I even programed it into RE3 for the PC using my PS3 controller.

I love the RE5 demo. I chose control scheme A since I recently played RE4 on the PS2. There are slight changes from 4, but it's only with two buttons. The game looks great, though.

I've been playing with the control D set-up, feels like almost the standard control set-ups for most third person controls in terms of movement, strafing, and camera. D control set-up is only a half step away from moving and aiming at the same time....dammit, so close!

Resident Evil 4 was pure fun for me, and I hope this will be the same.
