I maybe wrong, but wouldn't the PC version use mouse and keyboard keys standard in the game rather then gamepad buttons.
Not really, Capcom PC ports use either Xbox buttons or PS3 buttons as indicators, this saves them time since you can configure the keyboard to act as whiever button you want.

I agree with Bud. There's something about the lighting that comes off as weird to me, especially on that Sheva girl.

Pictures from last year look better than this new batch, the lighitng/shadowing especially...

And I don't see this amount of people on-screen anymore:

Those pics certainly look better then the new stuff. Looks like RE4 was downgraded.

Wait a minute, a new ReWii? Oh wait, Capcom said screw Wii.

Otherwise it looks like crap, I mean what the hell?

Somehow something got lost along the way with this game. These shots do not at all reflect the scariness of the inital trailers to me at all.

The hud, the lighter in door scenarios, the diverser enemies, the RE4 animations, the sidekick, the fact that there is a sidekick, smashing wooden barrels, I don't know.

My expectations for this are way down.

:lol :lol @ the guy and his "downgrade" thread.


Those shots are generally an UPGRADE. Less overkill HDR and proper motion blur.

What do you mean? He had a pretty solid argument. Are you telling me you can't just choose random screenshots to compare in random areas and say that the game has been downgraded?

...

Is that what you're telling me?!?!! >_<

At the same time, people are thinking this should have jaggies out the ass on consoles when Capcom's track record should tell them otherwise.
Their first couple Framework games were 1280X720 with variable AA up to 4X on 360. DMC4 was 1280X720 with 2XAA on 360. Not exactly jagfests, and the DOF made jaggies even less noticeable. The blurriness of the screens tells me they might be using some kind of edge blurring like Gears of War, too.
The quality of these screens is pretty low, anyway. They're riddled with artifacts.

This batch of screens is clearly less technically impressive than the older screens. I don't see how you can argue otherwise.

I just wish this game didn't revolve around teamwork, whether with CPU or a human.

I noticed the HUD switching sides... is that area based?

Looks like when you play as Sheva the HUD is on the left and her health-circle-thingy is bigger. Then, when you play as Chris it's on the right and his circle is bigger.

My thoughts exactly. The game LOOKS amazing, but the teamwork/escort parts of RE4 were the worst part of the game, and now RE5 is built wholly around that concept? That worries me.
 
looks awesome if not perfect in absolutely every way.

some people need to get over themselves. it's only one of the 5 best looking console games on the radar graphically.

OH NOES.

And yet it is still the best looking 3rd person shooter revealed yet.

On one hand this looks fun as hell.

On the other hand, the RE5 they first showed up looked fun too. And it had much better graphics.

Did it have to be one or the other?

graphic whore score: 7
It's on the level with Bioshock. Wicked artwork being let down by a bit by technology. Loses another point for falling so far short of the old trailers.

You are just begging for them to come in here with those god forsaken pics and crash my browser again.

well, you don't really expect the motion blur to be this accurate and clean in the actual game, though, right ?
This is the kind of motion blur you get in pgr4 photo mode as opposed to the one being used ingame.
 
i haven't seen this game in months but i have a few questions:

1. when a sidekick come into play? is she black? did they add a sidekick and make her black because people complained about the killing of blacks in the game?
2. are there less black enemies in the game because people complained about it?

not that i get my rocks off killing only blacks or anything but i dont seem to recall any spanish or whitet dude enemies in older vids.

i don't like the sidekick aspect at this point (thats not what RE is about!), but im still pumped for the game!

Agreed. The game still looks good but I'm kind of disappointed.

Could Capcom be toning down the number of enemies and general compexity of the game to make the inevitable wii port an easier exercise?

Ugh why's it so brown? Is this game made on Unreal Engine? Why isn't it bright and colourful? :lol

Sorry I'm just playing devils advocate, the game looks amazing! Cannot wait :D

Actually, it's still on Capcom's Framework engine.

I was being sarcastic and poking fun at the people that make fun of Gears for being too brown but then no doubt spunk a load over RE5.
I think the game looks amazing.
