[NeonGhost]

VR Mode when

I wouldn’t except that for at least a year

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

awesome

 

[xClout]

Along with aim fix hopefully

 

[damidu]

fix your game before releasing anything

 

[simpatico]

Sounds like it should line up well with when I'll be finished with the campaign. Game is chock full of value.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

After you beat the game and you're not greeted to any unlocked side modes it's kinda sad.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

VR Mode when

Vr and the Ada campaign.

All free

 

[adamsapple]

Quicker than I expected.

Hopefully that means we get the eventual Separate Ways campaign DLC by the end of Summer ?

 

[DevilMayFlyForAWhiteGuy]

It’ll have all the playable characters right?
Right?

 

[Signal Rockets]

Unleash the Rambo within, in a game that feels like The Evil Within.

It feels like TEW?

Datamine leak suggests more Mercs characters than the original, yes.

 

[Eimran]

I hope that you get the PRL 412 for getting 5 stars on all Merc modes.

In the original you get the hand Cannon but you get this for finishing PRO mode in the remake.

So I really hope you get it. This weapon is BY FAR the most OP gun there is.

It feels like TEW?

It kind of does. They both use the same weapons and stealth mechanics.

so the next patch is probably on that day too. I played 2 chapters and ditched the game on PS5 until they patch it, because of the various tech issues.

RE4 and 5 were always two games that are very much alike, so let's see if a remake of 5 gets ignored like the original did.

You know it's coming eventually. But if you like 4, 5 should be considered the game's baby brother. You know?

They are not really that much different. In fact, 5 has a better plot than 4, since it involved Wesker wanting payback and world domination. 4 was really more like a side story, in a way. It wasn't, of course. But you probably know what I mean.

My issue with 5 is the forced co-op (AI or Human). Having a gun-toting companion with you the entire time ruins the atmosphere. At least for me.

Now if Capcom were to use this RE4 Remake as a template for a potential RE5 Remake and just gave Chris and Sheva their own separate campaigns....then I would be very interested. But I assume fans of RE5 would WANT the co-op intact?

I mean, I would play it regardless, but RE5 is near the bottom of my RE list whereas RE4 is near the top. And it's mostly due to the forced co-op.

So yeah, I don't want to come off saying RE5 is trash or anything, but the reason it landed so different for me is the presence of a fully equipped ally helping you the entire time. Completely changes the game for me.

Survival is just the beginning. Survival horror reimagined for 2023. Available now for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The Mercenaries for Resident Evil 4 is now available as an additional mode for free for all owners.

Looking up gameplay now. Looks awesome as hell. Everyday they improve this game.

Krauser looks sick. Don't see any wesker or water world tho. I need that thrust punch and super dr Salvador.

Gives you an idea, they used the leftover files to create it.

 

[thatJohann]

can’t seem to find the download link for mercenaries ps5 dlc.

Also still no patch to fix the issues…

Edit. Patches are out. Apparently they downgraded Xbox graphics and fixed the control dead zones.

PS5 apparently looks the same?

I don't mean to sound cynical, but Capcom has been a fly-by-night company for literally going on years now. And I think it's going to be sad for all RE fans once every plot aspect in the franchise up to now, later gets deliberately retconned.

In fact, I don't think Capcom even wants you to remember much about the old games any more, if they think Jill was infected by Wesker at first, and not because of Nemesis.
