I know, just not my kind of game I guess. Lol, I remember the old RE with the fixed camera where you'd move to the direction where your character is facing, instead of the direction on the controller...just horrible!
Another "Capcom akwardness fest" called: Dead Rising also has so many of these little annoyances...those little things of which I'll never understand why they need to do it that way...
RAD! omg! I cant wait! It's the only game aside from Halo 3 and Mario Galaxy I've been looking forward to this whole Gen!!! AHHHHHHHH! and it's got co-op like thats flipin wicked!!!! OH YEAH!
F'ing gorgeous graphics. But I didn't like RE 4 "stop and shoot" mechanic, felt really unintuitive, so I doubt I'll find this game fun. I could never understand why the developers chose to not let you move while you're shooting, maybe it was their genius idea of making it "survival" in the survival-horror label for the game. I
When RE 4 came out the devs talked about why they chose the "stop and shoot" mechanic. It was a way for the player to feel tension. It also makes you think about shooting rather than just running around and strafing. If it had strafing or run and gun it would have been a completely different game. All the enemies and thier behaviours have been tuned with this in mind. I personally think this is what makes it different from many 3rd person shooters.
By the way, why hasn't this anybody said this about Deadspace?
Cool, but i wish japanese games would become aware of something known as "strafe". Let us turn with the right stick and move/strafe with the left, PLEASE :)
I know RE has always been like that, but so? You wouldnt defend Diablo 3 if it only had 640x480 resolution just because "its always been like that" :P

Thats the way RE has always been, If they change much more of this game, it won't be RE anymore.
And not being able to move made RE a great game? Well... True that the game ain't realistic with zombies in it, but I didn't know the main char was one too. But did RE have coop earlier, no, but it's a great idea. _I_ think they just overlooked these things for one reason or another and I'ts a huge miss-step in current-gen consoles (excluding wii, cause that's not this gen at all (just joking, it's doing it's own thing and I think this would be okay on wii)) cause X360 and PS3 players are used to FPS-games and they demand (and deserve) good controls.

Then they got the tension part right. I tried RE4 and not being able to move while shooting or "mouselook" was the one and only cause of tension in the game. These days I'm bald...And I never played the game more than 1h. It was great except the gameplay was horrid.
After the dust settles left4dead is gonna mop the floor with RE-zombieguts.
The look is as good as what is expected from Capcom but I have to agree that although online co-op raises the bar, the bar would have been set perfectly if we could finally run and gun. I mean they have made the series more action oriented but the stopping to fire slows it down ridiculously. I dunno, that kills it a bit.
P.s. Seems like Chris has found a middle ground between skinny and too buff which is great. Also why didn't they give us the option of choosing a male or female sidekick? I'm not into playing as female characters even if Capcom's girls overall have seemed cooler than other game series'.

NO but it created alot more tension, my comment was more to do with the games being less about Zombies now and crazed humans, its just not the same in my opinion.
Even though you still get mutants and such, the zombies were just a lot cooler than crazy people.
Being outside just ruins the feel aswell, you don't feel trapped anymore.

Commented on 2008-07-15 00:35:46Graphics are nice though, but the "stop to be able to shoot" gameplay doesn't suit me and the whole setting just doesn't seem all that appealing.
Nope, not all that excited for this one really.
