E309 Media | Come To The Darkside With Resident Evil

This is looking good, and the fact it\'s a FPS on rails automatically makes this more interesting for me. And more tense, I think.

And how is anybody supposed to enjoy this on the E3 show floor?

lol, if you play the gameplay trailer you'll hear new super mario bros playing in the background.

Sounds lovely. Happy zombies, whoopie!

How the hell does it offer tension when its on rails. Im affraid your brain might be wired incorrectly. When a camera forces you into areas there is no tension of knowing if your walking into a sanctuary or death trap. Not to mention your gun has unlimited ammo. The survival element is greatly watered down.

There is still the tension of not quite knowing what's round the corner, not being able to move where you want, Enemy speed, and reload times of the guns.

The game looks pretty nice.

Compared to Dead Space this plays like a a generic light gun shooter. Don't buy this game, go for Dead Space instead!

Exactly, the fact the camera is being used in this way creates the most tension for me. They're able to confront you with situations you'd never experience in a 'conventional' game.

Looks a lot better than the original in terms of visuals, design and presentation - but still not feeling it, zombies are too slow and a bit boring from what they've shown.

I really enjoyed Umbrella Chronicles so I believe this too shall be excellent. Why are people complaining about its lack of tension? First of all, I feel UC had more tension than RE5. Those near death encounters during boss battles, not knowing whether to use your advanced guns are save them were great. Sadly though, I believe that RE will never return to its traditional SH roots.

I've still got the first game to complete. Got stuck on the REmake mansion level. Too hard though I've yet to try it on co-op so maybe that will help.

This one is looking amazing graphically.
