Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 (Switch) releasing on October 29th [Triple Pack with RE4 on Cart same day as well]
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
It's crazy seeing so much disdain for RE5, like damn you would think it played exactly like RE6 going by these comments.
Okay, I'm in for RE4 physical, glad I waited. I'll probably just give away the RE5 & 6 codes, though. I don't have a MicroSD for my Switch and I can't imagine both games fitting on the internal memory.
I liked it well enough to platinum it at launch. All solo, never played co-op. It still wishes it were half as interesting or fun as RE4. Also those DLC stories really soured me on it after the fact.
RE5?
Resident Evil 5 is the clunkiest game you've ever played?
It's one of the most polished gaming experiences of the previous generation...
Yup, just in time to announce it after their first sale on it has been running for a few days so people who held out caved and bought it and are now tempted to double-dip. Amazing strategy. They know how to milk people with minimum effort.
RE5 isn't as good as RE4, and to some this seems to mean it's terrible.
It's a very solid game with some amazing strong points, mainly the co-op and the Mercenaries Mode. But the campaign itself, even playing alone, has great moments.
The only part of the campaign I outright can't stand / am confused as to why they thought it was needed, is the on-rails turret sequence against motorcycle and truck Majini, and the subsequent on-rails El Gigante fight. Terrible low points in an otherwise pretty solid campaign.
Hell yeah, I'll sing 5's praises until the grave.
The campaign, the graphics, the bosses, the variety of setpieces, the cutscene direction and fight choreography, the big story beats (as ridiculous as their delivery may be), the impactful, satisfying melee combat moves and finishers, which complement the shooting wonderfully, even the OST has some pretty memorable tracks like The Executioner and the one that plays during the first fight against Wesker and you know who.
It's so fucking good.
With that said, I have played it so many times (and 4) that this release doesn't really interest me at all.
"Guys...we've heard you"
"Resident Evil 4 will finally be on cartridge!.....but with 5 & 6"

5 & 6 aren't as good as 4 of course but are pretty solid games i'll prob pick it up when it gets low enough
I want these ports as I love my Switch and I love Resident Evil, but I'm at a point where I've bought these games so many damn times on other platforms and seeing the price uptick on eShop makes it a no-go.
I'll just stick to my non-portable PS4 versions then.

RE 5 is fantastic! Was never a fan of the co-op and I didn't like the item management or the way they handled files, but it's still a great fucking game. People are crazy lol.
I replayed it with a friend this year, and yea, the El Gigante fight should've been a legit boss fight. They already had the blueprint from RE4 too, might as well go the whole way.
It's awesome! Make sure to play with a friend, much more enjoyable that way.
I love all of the Resident Evils though, except 6 ha.
Please..... please... so much potential.
Best thing about resident evil 5 is the demo, you can simply replay the best section and pretty much see all worth seeing, single player game was completely ruined with the co-op.
Namco Bandai has been the only one that priced their last gen rerelease correctly. $40 for Storm 1-3 was a bargain and the length of time it held out in the top downloads section was proof they made a good choice. I was hopeful that sort of rerelease would become common. Instead single games are coming in at $40 and Capcom started feeling themselves more.
Triple pack would be a no brainier at $40. $60 just feels like what it already should have been.

Locking physical RE4 behind RE5 and RE6 as well? I see you Capcom and don't like what I'm seeing.
lol well there you go, at least someone will be happy about this release I guess :P
They aren't going to fix the weird loading bugs in certain rooms in REmake, so they won't develop a new feature for RE4.
If people seriously don't want their RE5 and RE6 download codes, I would be completely willing to take them off their hands. I'll buy that at [not] a high price!
That is really one of the reasons I have been avoiding these games like the plague. It seems Capcom threw these ports together and called it a day.
No problem, they can say goodbye to my hard earned money then. :-P
I mean, I have already purchased the game multiple times, I can always play the superior Wii conversion with Dolphin.
I just want to point out that Resident Evil 5 is absolutely amazing and one of the best gaming experiences last gen.
Yeah because most rooms load fine and as fast as any other version. It's really just a couple rooms and cutscenes that load for seconds after the door animation finished. The Devs probably were given a week to port all 3 games.
Then again, they never fixed the 60fps aim spazzing in RE4HD on any version, so it's really no wonder.
Not remotely. "Salvaging" the game by playing it as intended is not a thing.
It's quite good as a single player game and great as a co-op, which is what it was designed to be.

you think there's no market for RE5 and 6 digital codes? no qualms going about our separate ways for a tenner each. damning if I can't even sell them both for $20 total tho no lie
Are you seriously comparing Naruto to Resident Evil?
60 bucks for the triple pack is the exact same price on ALL platforms, $20 bucks each.
A mangled physical offering? I'm not too fussed about having RE4 in the sale and missing this now.
I checked on PC and RE6 costs 30 bucks.
This is nothing new tho, Bayonetta costs 20 bucks on Steam while the NSW version is 30 bucks.
I strongly disagree that it's quite good as a single player game.
