Resident Evil 5 - Lost in Nightmares

Zero-Cool

Hey,

This is up on the PSN store. Thinking of getting it. Has anyone played it yet, any thoughts on it??

Sounds class that its mostly puzzle based and mansion is almost exact replica of the one in the first game. Also, a nice few easter eggs thrown in as well.

I downloaded it on the 360 yesterday and finished it in 41 mins on easy, there is only 6 enemies in it. Went through it again on normal and did it in just over 20 mins. You can't use your unlocked equipment from the main game but you have no need to with only 6 targets.

The first half of it (ie 10mins) is a throw back to the Res 1 days. The mansion is a very small version of the first one cut and paste together. Very predictable puzzles if you have played Res 1.

Very overpriced at 400 msp considering the recent AC2 content at 320 points has far, far more gameplay, the Res 5 demo has more content than this DLC. Capcom had some neck releasing this. All it does stroy line wise is give a very tiny hint more info about Wesker.

You also get Barry and Rebecca for a mercenaries mode and thats about it.

I loved it, a slice of nostalgic heaven! And, oh look, a link to my topic on the Resident Evil forum: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055831355

To Captain Chaos: try Veteran (and then Professional). The layout doesn't change, but it's a bit more challenging.

I'm still playing, trying to get the moneys worth out of cause I feel like I bent over for Capcom.

I do agree though that when I first played it, it was very nostalgic, there was a part where I expecting some mad dogs but it didn't happen:D but then a little bit more and it just ended.:(

Oh and whats with Chris and his gay icon side he is now sporting, like Mad Max gone wrong.:D

Are there any new mercenary levels? Skins alone wouldn't interest me. Myself and GF played through on co-op so might get it just for another hour, play on hard to help stretch it a small bit. I heard another new chapter is being released in March.

Sick of these extra DLC's.

Ass Creed 2 is my fave game at the moment, I bought the first DLC but don't think I'll bother with the new one. I remembered that the developers said they didn't have time to put them into the original game. Then give them for free when they are ready!!!!

Don't worry about it, the Resi board is a bit obsure (only about five people seem to post there!).

Kind of zombie/tyrant hybrids with Res 5 weapon, the eye to the back reminds me of the boss from Res 2.

Thank god i read this thread and dodged that one. Was hoping it was an RE1 remake, seems to be far from it.
