Seriously. Why are so many people worried about Resident Evil 5??

I'm so tired of people complaining about how the game looks so much like Resident Evil 4. How unimpressed by they demo they were. How their excitement for Resident Evil 5 is dropping! Fuck!

Everyone remember what the first footage and later demo for Resident Evil 4 showcased? Leon in a village killing zombie villagers. Yeah.

Now remember playing the game? All those awesome bosses? Enemies like the blind wolverine fuckers or those scary ass invisible bug creatures? Remember fighting suits of armor with giant swords? Remember that crazy ass cult and that huge ass castle with some crazy ass rooms? I could go on and on in an even more disorganized and poorly written manner, but I shouldn't have to. That game came out in January that year and was still nearly unanimously considered Game of the Year. I love that game.

So why is everyone worried that Resident Evil 5 will be too much like Resident Evil 4?

I guess you could admit that the limited early footage and demo of RE5 looks a lot like the limited early footage and demo for RE4. There was a ton of great RE4 stuff that was never shown prior to release of that game. And people are assuming RE5 is going to be lacking in these same areas of badassery? I just don't get it.

I'm more confident about my assumption of the AAA quality of Resident Evil 5 than I've had in any other game I've seen in a very long time. Maybe since Metal Gear Solid 2. I mean really. What the fuck is everyone worried about?

Here is footage to ease your worries:


Yeah... fucking awesome.
