It looks neat, but very brown. Cheap scares and an immersive experience or another clunky, contrived bore? I guess we'll find out soon.
(Listening to this guy talk about the game is like listening to your high school gym teacher talk about Star Wars, by the way.)
My interest in the game went up. The shooting action doesn't look that great but if the focus is more "survival horror" like he said, I can picture this turning out well.
Also, brown game is brown. BROOOWWWWNNNN + METAL = GRITTTYYYYYYYYYY
Echo Night 3?
not too wild on it
If the controls are decent it's already better than 98% of survival horror games from Japan (RE4 is the 1 out of 50, and even then they aren't THAT good). I am interested.
I watched the Game Trailers TV this past weekend and they focused on this game. I didn't really have any interest in it before I saw the show but now I'm really looking forward to it.
Hope the sound design is as good as Doom 3.
I was interested since GI did an issue on it, now seeing it in action I can't wait to try this. Although from the video it looks like there is a lot more light in the environs than I initially thought there would be.
looks quite good. cant wait
That issue had me stoked as well. The game does look pretty cool in the video.Quote:

This looks like a weirdo hybrid of Doom 3, System Shock 2, and Resident Evil 4. I'm interested but there's no way I'm going to buy it before playing it.
Ok, this game needs some TNL love. I'm throwing out the challenge now. This game, at least based on E3 demos, will be better than RE5.
Discuss.
Is this game still very, very brown?
Kind of a tangent, but did you play RE5 at E3? Did it have the rumoured FPS-style dual-analogue control?
The digital comics were pretty cool, but the game trailer didn't do anything for me.
I did play it. It does not. I controls exactly like RE4.Quote:

One of the big gimmicky things about the games display is that the character has this holographic imager that kind of projects things around him, so there's a lot of eerie glowing lights and such. I mean it's not what I would describe as "colorful" but it's far from the washed-out tan of RE5.
What about compared to the bland overworld of Zelda: Twilight Princess?
Are the screenshots not working? :p
Yes, but my snarkiness is a well-oiled machine.
I see the mood lighting and the prettiness. Any problem I had with the visual style of this game has been killed.
But RE5 will have co-op and I loves me some co-op...
I'm sure RE5 will do fine because it has the name Resident Evil in it. It will probably be an actual good game.Quote:

I can't believe you just compared a Wii "launch" game to an upcoming "actually next gen not Wii" title. Seriously? :cry:Quote:

When someone tells you you suck you tend to work harder.
I was comparing the art direction, not the kajigalwatts of polygorns.Quote:

These games seem like far different experiences to be comparing to one another.
kajigalwatts is neither a number nor a guide by which to measure anything by.Quote:

that's just silly.
Seriously, stop treating RE5 like it's a survival horror, because it's a third person shooter, same with RE4.
That's kind of my point, actually.Quote:

The official site went online a few weeks back:

I have to admit, I'm interested in this game. It comes out next week, I believe. Anyone else excited?
I wasn't expecting to be interested, but the atmosphere seems really neat. So, yeah...hmm.
Cautiously optimistic! I'll pick it up if THE BUZZ is good.Quote:

I've got it preordered. It looks really really good. I hope I'm not let down.Quote:

Gonna be top 5 goty, put it in the cranium
Man. I'm gonna have to find some crap to trade in to pick this up. Same for Fallout 3. I just can't myself away from games like these.
You have a lot of faith in this one. I gotta time this gamefly return just right or else there is no telling when I'll be able to get it.
Hmm... to wait the week for the PC port or not to wait...
Any word on when/if the demo's coming? I'm tempted to buy this day one but with so many unfinished games plus Fallout 3 coming soon, I should wait.
no, you shouldn't
This and Fallout 3 have PC releases after the consoles and it makes me sad.
Fallout 3's PC launch is simultaneous. Dead Space's was supposed to be, but when they bumped up the release a week, the PC one got left at the old date.Quote:

Pretty good, especially for a game in a genre that has fallen so far in popularity.
yup, I would have booked it for low to mid 7's.
Color me surprised and interested, guy did a good review as well.
See I don't get this. People on a lot of boards seem to be saying the exact same thing. From the first screenshot I've been excited for the game and there was never anything shown that would have made me think of a "just ok" game.Quote:

You haven't been keeping up. EA has been pretty awesome lately. Activision is the new EA.
Wow, where can you find games for that cheap?Quote:

Picked it up earlier and just completed mission 1. Pretty good so far. Very much like a 3rd person space bioshock, though not as great dialogue yet. Also, there is a free suit to DL off the marketplace, which I think may be limited time only or only free for a bit, though not sure.
Pretty sure it's just exclusive to 360. The PS3 has a different suit.
And you probably shouldn't use it anyway, seeing as how its stats are much higher than anything you'd get until the endgame.
So any major differences between ps3 and 360 versions (besides achievements of course)?
It's not that much better. Just looks cool.Quote:

Anyone else pick this up? So far, I'm really enjoying it. I'm on chapter 5 of 12 as I can't stop playing. I will say that the complaint about it being a little repetitive has merit to it, but I'm enjoying the gameplay so much. And while the story isn't quite on the level of Bioshock, at least not yet, it still keeps me playing to find out more. You also do go back to earlier areas to go to new unlocked doors.
That said, this game does so may things well. I'd say it's a nice mix of Bioshock, Gears, and Doom 3 taking many good things from each. The atmosphere is great, sound is amazing, and the mechanic of shooting limbs off rather than just going for head shots is a nice new twist. The way the game displays health/ammo info is done great as well. If you are thinking about picking it up and want a nice 3rd person, sci fi thriller shooter, this is an excellent choice.
I got it, loving it so far, but I really just started
Read this review. Sounds boring. I mean, it sounds like Doom III only more boring. 12 or so enemy types? Great. Easily predictable enemy jump-out spots? Yawn. At least Doom had the whole "You can't see shit ever at all ever except for this flashlight" shit going for it. I was scared for a while. Until, you know, I realized exactly when all the enemies would jump out.
I'm already playing Assasin's Creed, a game in which after the first memory block you've pretty much played the entire game, only with a nerfed skillset. I admit, I'm having a ton of fun with Creed just because combat is a pleasure, and the motion and weight of everything both during combat and just plain running and climbing around is wonderful to watch. I feel like Creed should have just been Mirror's Edge. If it focused less on collect-a-thon-repetetive-o-thons and didn't make you run around from city to city nine times, then it would be way more awesome. The thing that's the most fun about Creed is what's most fun about Crackdown: Just running around and shit. At least when you get bogged down by fighting in Creed it's actually fun.
The point is, I guess, I don't want to play another game where I've seen everything in the first hour. I guess you could argue that Bioshock had even fewer enemy types, but the fun times in Bioshock were all about getting creative with your badass powers. So I'll pass on this.
I like the looks of how they handled the HUD though.
:lol: Cool, does it include a king-size bed, an open bar, and a nice balcony view?Quote:

Really want to pick this up, but theres just too much coming out over the next few weeks. If I get some time Id like to rent this and Golden Axe though.
Did I miss something? Is 12 enemy types low? How many enemy types were in like... Half Life 2, or really fucking 90% of action games, excluding bosses?Quote:

I've played a bit of the first chapter but had other stuff to do. I liked what I played.
I just wish Chapter 11's Achievement wasn't put out in the open.
What the fuck, why would you call an achievement "The Betrayal"
I'm 95% sure that Cow's post was made under the influence of the marijuana.
This is another tricky game to rent. My blockbuster had them for sale, not for run, this ticked me off a lot for some reason.
Yeah. I'm only on Chapter 5 right now, but there are only 2 people who could be the betrayer, so it doesn't leave much up in the air. Though thinking about it, I could easily see it being either one of them, so if you guess wrong, you could be in store for a surprise there... maybe... not really. There are only two fucking possibilities. Unless Betrayal refers to something completely different than what we think, which I do not think it does, that was definitely a bad name for an achievement.Quote:

Shit. My bad. Wrote that during class and completely forgot about spoiler tags.
Whatever, games are boring. Eat my shit.
Chux didn't read my whole post. Assasin's creed would be boring if you couldn't jump across rooftops and shit.
Assassins Creed is boring WITH rooftop jumping.Quote:

I dont like the enemies. Tentacles are BORING!!!!!!! and not scary.
I want a monster game that doesnt include giant tentacles on everything or the giant Blade 2 vampire mouths. (DOH RE5 BTW)
Just finished it! Holy crap does the last boss look fucking cool! Theres a few points in this game that had me saying oooh pretty. I havent been impressed by graphics in awhile. I had a good time with it. Way to many closets and boxes to rummage through but other than that, the game moved along pretty nicely.
I'm planning on finishing it tonight or tomorrow. The game has had me from the start though.Quote:

Mog is right. That last boss is by far one of the best looking boss fight I have ever seen. It's like Lost Planet but actually fun.

I upgraded the ripper on the last chapter. Holy shit does it mow bitches down. Wish I would've done that a long time ago.
So bottom line, have wanted this game since I first read about it, GI made it game of the month, seems to be getting mixed reviews here... I want it quite badly, is it worth the purchase??
I like it, and will hold on to it. I can tell it will be one of those game I would love to pull out on a rainy day in a few months/years.Quote:

Buy it, play it, if you hate it, resell it on ebay for a little less than you paid for it. Mine should be in the mailbox today, can't wait to fire it up.
