Resident Evil 5 – Split-screen co-op in video
OXM’s posted a movie of split-screen co-op from the Resident Evil 5 demo released in Japan today. Get it here.
It looks as though the content’s the same stuff as was shown at the Eurogamer Expo earlier this year, containing the chap with the chainsaw and a bag on his head.
This clip’s got a great ending. She was asking for it, y’honour.

I managed to log in to the web site and send morriss a friends request. So it might be working again now.

Seriously, get the demo. Co-Op action. This first scene is akin to the shack in Resi 4, but with two players: not bad.

I’ve got nobody to co-op with, though. Unless it’s suitable for six-year-olds?

But that would mean I’d have to figure out how to actually put that headset thing on.

Not really, don’t need to chat, although it would make things easier considering you heal eachother and solve puzzles/tasks etc.
So knowing when each other is in trouble is quite important.

I didn’t see any tearing at all. Not in 1080i, anyway.

Major disappointment. I loved Resident Evil 4, but technology has moved on and playing this game it’s like Dead Space never happened.

I see what you mean, its not really a horror game anymore, and the reuse of most of RE4′s animations is blantant.

They’re allowed to reuse them, they made them.

Still looking forward to giving the game a blast in co-op. Need more good co-op games.

Need more good Resident Evil-type games. This is nothing but a 3PS, a fun one, but it’s not Resident Evil any more, imo.
