You know what would be awesome in RE5...

[Soulx]

I was thinking about the new Resident Evil game and what weapons and stuff they are going to have on it. then I had this funny idea where they should have this weapon that plays Michael Jackson's Thriller (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8 can't beat 32 million views...) and all of the zombies start dancing to it, and you can just sneak past them and everything. Of course only as like an unlockable after beating it on the hardest difficulty without dieing or something.
You can't deny it you know that would be awesome.

no, to refrence yahtzee, there should be a gun that shoots Shurikens and lightning. then it could only be better if it were on fire and had tits.

 

[sheic99]

No that would be stupid.

 

[jdnoth]

You know what RE5 really lacks? Moving and shooting at the same time. They could remove all the guns except the pistol, and as long as you can move and shoot at the same time with it, it would be and infinitely better game.

You know what would be even better? If in the final battle, Leon Kennedy was helicoptered in by Mike's (from RE4) brother, and Louis twin, to help kill wesker. They could drop a ton of bad ass oneliners too!

It also could be better if 1. You weren't stealing the joke from Yahtzee and 2. If Painkiller hadn't already done it.

I've not played RE5 yet, I'm gonna look up the demo in a bit.

Awesome and vastly stupid.
You know what would actually make RE5 Awesome? Running-and-gunning and decent control movement.

You speak the truth my friend.

I was so so so disappointed in the demo. The controls are shit. It makes relatively easy situations (okay, guy in mask is coming at me with a chainsaw, I should duck out of the way) impossible (oh fuck, my joints are fused together, can only walk like the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz!)

I likely won't be buying this game. I'll stick with Left 4 Dead for my zombie fix until Dead Rising 2 comes out.

Oh my GOD you have no idea how sick I am of that reference popping up everywhere! Just because Yahtzee was yelling around about "shurikens and lighting" does NOT mean it's a FUCKING GOOD IDEA! It got old pretty fast, just like "the cake is a lie". For Chirst's sake, it's done! It's over! Nobody actually thinks that a gun shooting Shurkins and Lighting is an awesome idea anymore!

Think of your own ideas for weapons like....like....like a gun that shoots large wooden penis extensions that pins people against walls or something!......wait........DAMNIT!

Anyway, stepping away from my burst of uncontrollable outrage, that would be a KICKASS unlockable. Like +127 points of awesomeness.

I agree and I'm also stunned.

That idea seems something from Ratchet and Clank. Also, can everyone please stop talking about the move+shoot thing? Did people complain this much for RE4? If 4 and 5 play the same, then I'm completely fine if I ever get my hands on RE5. It's really not that big a deal. If you want to move and shoot and can settle for a pseudo-zombie game, play Dead Space. This is where everyone, including Mr. "you can take away all the guns so long as you give us move+shoot" will say that there aren't enough guns. They'll probably compare it to RE4 too, which they probably hated but will think they have the right to reference just because it has a larger selection of guns.

OH THANK THE GODS OF EVERY WORLD FAITH! SOMEONE WHO SHARES MY VIEW!!!!!!
1. unable to fire without aiming, makes for DEATH in close quarter enemy games
2. as does having to hold one button and push another to attack

Can I instead be the one who says I didn't like the inability to move and shoot in Resident Evil 4 as well? And that it is a terrible game mechanic that is both unrealistic and annoying? It has no place in a game in 2009...I don't care if it's a core part of old Resident Evil gameplay, it still cripples it, and nostalgia for a concept is only good if the concept is good.

Feel completely free to hate it for that reason. I don't count for the nostalgia thing by the way. I've never played an RE game before 4. (when I was little my cousin played 3 and his cousins played 2, but that's about all I've seen) Played the game, got around the issue and never thought about it again. My brother might have more than me, but it wasn't a game killer for him either. If you have a complaint, just back it up is all (which you have done). I just kinda get annoyed seeing "OMG this gaem sux cuz I haet it" or something along those lines.

To repeat what I posted on a non-Escapist thread, I think you should be able to run and shoot. I also think you should be able to hold two weapons and jump like a normal person. Chris really needs to be replaced by Master Ch....just can't bring myself to say it.

Seriously though, not that unlockable costumes can really make or break a game, but how about these?
George W. and Linda Bush
Leisure suit for Chris and go-go outfit for Sheva
Zombie (or whatever you want to call them) disguises
