And so we come to the absolute crux of the issue here if you're fortunate enough to own both machines: which release to buy if you own both systems. Game content is identical on both machines, and while PS3 owners still get a decent enough version, it's the Xbox 360 rendition that is clearly the more attractive, solid and more playable game. However, the fun of the co-op mode is orders of magnitude more important than the differences between the two conversions, so the core issue comes down to which set of online buddies you want to be playing this game with. Spend more time on PSN? Go for PS3. Got a whopping great Xbox Live friends list? Buy that one and consider the better visuals and smoother gameplay a nice Brucie-bonus.
Beat it a couple of days ago, without saying too much the story felt a little underwhelming for the last game in the umbrella story line.
Are you guys playing solo or coop'ing it?
Cool, one last question. How long did it take you to complete it?
Jesus Fucking Christ what were you expecting them to do with the gameplay and controls? were you expecting it to completely radically different?Here's the Deal, RE4's controls brought the Series up to modern standards in 2005, so it's control scheme was sufficient. It's now 4 years later, and they're releasing an HD version of the same game, with controls that are now 4 years outdated.
For a person like me who didn't even like RE4 when I played it 2 years ago, this just isn't going to cut it.
This game might be a rental for me... Maybe.
I honestly can't figure out the appeal of RE games. They're not scary, the story is a goddamn joke, and now, the gameplay is completely outdated. How did this series even reach a 4th sequel?

it seems that RE5 Suffers FF8 Syndrome from gamers. As Do many games. it's rather sad actually.
The antiquated control scheme worked for older iterations of the title, but they've moved it from horror into action without updating the controls. It worked for RE4 and other titles previously, but people like myself think that an update on the controls would have added to the gameplay instead of detracting from it.
When i played the demo i'm pretty sure you could walk backwards right?I forgot to mention that I picked this up at Toys R Us today and they gave me a $20 gift card with it. Not a bad deal.
@trigun - Moving while shooting wouldn't have made this Gears of War or Lost Planet. Just having the ability to slowly walk backwards would have been welcomed instead of sprinting back 20 yards, doing a 180, and then continue to shoot. It still would have been RE. Just RE with a more modern control scheme. In any event, the game is still decent.
