iron_granny69 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 FIgured it was time to resurect this thread. Which do you guys think is better? In my opinion resident evil 4 was way better, better bosses, harder, and a lot of fun. Resident evil 5 was good just not resident evil 4 good, the ai partner is retarded. The really enjoyment in resident evil 5 comes from playing co-op with a friend, but the game gets old quick. I still go back and play resident evil 4. So what do you guys think?

Cauchy Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Agreed. I would have preferred if they just updated the graphics to RE4 and made a co-op option. That would have been amazing! At any rate RE5 is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasCowboys101 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I say RE5 is better because the ps3 graphics and the online co-op with friends is really fun, plus all the trophies RE4 was badass though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdrama Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I like RE5 more, mainly because of the trophies, they just add a lot of replay value for me. I have already beaten RE5 3 times and am about to do it for a fourth, but I only beat RE4 once, although I did plays mercs more in RE4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaytime Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 RE4 was great as well but the coop option was totally the deciding factor for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenJackel Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Co op is something that i love in games especially online co op. Thats why im addicted to this and resistance 2. SO i would go with RE5 personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy815 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 RE 4, the 5th one was good but it didn't do enough to pull itself out of 4's shadow. Yeah, it had co-op but I didn't like it, ruined the single player experience imo. It should have been a separate campaign like in Resistance 2. Having a partner by your side 24/7 destroyed any sense of fear or isolation. Even the 4th one, the least scary of the bunch up to that point, had moments that freaked you out because it was just you against the mob. I read somewhere that they're going to reboot the series with the next game, and I hope they do. The series has become too action heavy for my tastes. Would love to see a return to the atmosphere from the first 2 games, while keeping the new control aspects from 4 and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemegeton300 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) RE4. RE has always and should always be a single player experience. sure the co-op in RE5 is good online but i am not waiting around till somebody is online who i can play with just to play the game. RE5 offline is horrid and frustrating. i have loved Resident Evil ever since the first game and if RE5 was not tying up the story i would not be playing through it RE 4, the 5th one was good but it didn't do enough to pull itself out of 4's shadow.

Pottersfield610 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I liked RE4 better cuz it was ahead of its time on PS2, RE5 is a tremendous game and definately one of the best but if there was no RE4 do you think RE5 would of been as good as it was?

Espo13 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 RE4 for me because it was original gameplay and RE5 is RE4 with better graphics, CO-OP, and trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilkuja Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Resident evil 5. If it wasn't for being able to enjoy this game with a friend split-screen, I might've said RE4. RE4's graphics for it's time were litterally jaw-dropping. The gameplay was brilliant and it was awesome to finally see the RE's progressing in story after all this time. But to judge RE4 to 5 now just feels wrong, since RE5's pretty much taken all of the good features from 4 and added tons more to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycuccismells Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 RE4 all the way for the reasons mentioned above. RE games are best played alone so the co-op just made it feel awkward to me. Also some of the bosses were reused from RE4 and the other ones werent very exciting. Also there were a few more puzzles in RE4 instead of the lame ones in RE5. RE5 was pretty good but I dont think it comes even close to RE4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 RE4, because RE5 wasn't a survival horror game anymore and I expected it to be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con818 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 not much is better then residentevil 4, including resident evil 5, its one of the best games ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imixian Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I think for a survival HORROR game RE4 was better. However the arcadey style of 5 was very enjoyable and made me want to play it over and over ,but let`s admit it`s more action than survival horror which i didn`t like. they`re both great games but i like RE5 just a tad more. Gotta go with RE5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz06lt Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 4 because 5 is only 4 with a fresh coat of paint if 5 would have have been dead space then it would indeed be 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vypor Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 4 because 5 is only 4 with a fresh coat of paint if 5 would have have been dead space then it would indeed be 5  I agree on this, I liked RE5, I loved RE 4, and I loved Dead Space.. Dead space was epic. Anyways, RE 5 was badass, I enjoyed. I dont like how they alterd the story (you know this if you've been playing since RE 1 ) but as far as gameplay goes, RE 5 was sweet. Re 4 was sweet aswell, and it would of been better than re 5 if HALF THE GAME WASNT AN ESCORT MISSION. After awhile you get use to it, but I HATE escort missons. and most of RE 4 was escort.

Bulzeeb Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I went with RE5 because it fulfilled something I'd always wanted from the series: CO-OP! Sure, it may not have lived up to it's scare legacy, but it got me with it's major replayability factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FARAZ_1994 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I wud definately say Re5.It has better graphics and is much more fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissmyscythe Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) I like part 4 better, don't get me wrong i like 5 too and online play is a blast but i just like the 4th better. Ugh,I forgot it also has more gore. That's one thing that really pissed me off about 5 was the deaths were dumb, hardly any blood,and the chainsaw death, come on how lame is it?!

TDbank24 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have to go with Resident Evil 5. Just started playing it a few days ago and i'm hooked. One of the best gaming experiences i've ever had. That said, i still love Resident Evil 4 as well. What a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mode47 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Resident evil 5 improves on everything res 4. its just res 4 with more! the coop is really fun. Only annoying thing is sheva on some of the levels or certain situations..but she was made to be played by a real person! I would say the story is quite weak compared to 1 - 3, but as this is a 4 comparisons anythings game right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
