Rumor: Resident Evil 5 features co-op and cover system

by Alexander Sliwinski on May 23rd 2008 12:00PM

ShackNews reports that a Resident Evil 5 preview, originally posted by GamesRadar, stated the game would feature online co-op throughout the campaign and that a cover system had been added to the franchise. Sadly, we can't report on this information directly from GamesRadar because the article has been removed. We blame the Umbrella Corporation. We always blame the Umbrella Corporation.

The preview allegedly revealed that there would be also be a dodge mechanic (using the right analog stick), a mercenary mini-game and a challenge mode. In the co-op campaign, players would be able to drop in and out at any time, with the AI taking over when there's no pesky human with yummy brains to control the second character. RE5 is expected sometime before the next decade and follows the possibly racist Chris Redfield as he indiscriminately kills all of zombie-kind between him and his goal.

Oh, oh I see! You want to team up 2 white people in the killing of unarmed blacks, huh? I just know white people made this game!*

*Joke

If by white people you mean Asians then Yes.

joke

I swear, every article that's ever of any interest on GamesRadar has a life expectancy of about 12 hours. Anything 'exclusive' they have seems to get pulled!

Why shoot the zombies when you can enslave them?

YEAH!!! How bout we ban them too? Nah, lets just ban you!

:)

You're welcome.

Watch the zombie slavery Documentary "Resident Evil: Extinction"

What? There was a movie that came out a while there was a zombie uprising and after that all the zombies were enslaved, and had to do the dirty jobs.

Oh, but you've missed a "kill" -.5

;)

Damn it! You are right!

Nazi Punks Fuck Off!

I hope the cover system is good and responsive.Im tired of automatic style of things in game .
And,online Co Op? How about multiplayer mercenaries that would really own.

I agree completely is a bad idea for the concept that RE4 created. You're ALONE, you can't RUN, you can't strafe...it's just you and the zombies slowlllllly coming at you. It's the perfect formula for intensity.
Now if you add a partner, you now can rely on something outside of yourself and it takes away the intensity.
The cover system better not ruin that either. There is no protection, the only protection you had was the space between you and the enemy...and that goes away.
We'll see how they implement this stuff. I just hope they get it right, again.

ugh, this is suppose to be a reply to someone mentioning an ai partner being a bad idea for re5.

sorry folks, i love RE as much as the next guy but i can't see how this game cannot be seen as at least a little racist. maybe you don't care and i guess that would make you at least a little bit of a dick. cheers!

Becuase I don't live in a false reality where everything is about race, unlike you. And before you even say anything, I'm a black guy and a proud american flag waver. What I see in this game is zombies, no matter what color or race they are.

If the game is taking place in africa and all the poor people there is suffering from a t-virus and coming after you, the hell you think your gonna do??

And the last game didn't have enemies that were black, they were SPANISH. How come there's no outrage against that, yet there's outrage about this upcoming game just becuase the majority of the zombies are black?

Double standard and hypocrisy anyone??

Please....just STFU and face reality.

2D Squirrel, I've said it once and I'll say it again: you're a moron. A really short sighted moron.

do you have to kill them? cant you just show them a job application to scare them away?

squirrel3d
stfu and face reality? racism exists that is the reality. seems funny that the reality of racism would escape you given that you are black and all. did you read the comment right after yours that said job applications would scare them away? that was pretty racist, huh? well that's the kinda dipshit redneck attitude alot of ignorant crackers are gonna have while playing this game. and before you say anything i happen to be a proud flag burning cracker. so whatevs. noone has to stfu, but we all have to face reality.
oh yeah, re 4 was at least a little racist too. face it. mind you, i'm not saying full-blown racist cuz that would imply conscious racist intent. which i'm not claiming is the case. but anyone who is being honest with themselves knows it's at least a bit racist.

We all know the zombies are black... but it's okay though.

They're secretly Nazis too, which are perfectly fine to shoot. They also bleed green, which somehow makes it not violent.

Why is Squirrel3D a moron? For stating the truth? RE4 was NOT racist you killed Spaniards but the game took place in Spain so would do you expect? The same goes for this game. I keep telling everyone that if we don't stop being so sensitive to these kind of things and censor everything then our world will end up being like Fahrenheit 451. Don't know what that is? Pick up a book every once in awhile.

I think Squirrel3D is moron for the same reason you are. And I'm not sure you are ready to deal with it yet. Maybe try understanding what you read. Like the need for empathy and tolerance of those different from you. noone was suggesting we start burning video games.

No,maybe you should try to understand what you read cause appearently you don't get it. Burning videos games was NOT the point though censorship WAS. That's the whole basis of the book. The resident evils before 4 had you shooting mostly white people right? So no race should be getting special treatment of being censored or being paid special attention to. Because that's not equal right? Now if it portrayed Africans as stereotypical black people then yes that would be a something to get upset about,but it doesn't look thats how its going to pan out. Anyway sorry for being moron,I mean what the hell was I thinking having an opinion different from yours..

yeah how did they go about censoring the books? that's right! they burned them.
hey luker don't feel so bad about being a moron. you obviously can't help it.
