Glad that most people have common sense about the RE4/RE5 comparison...
Neither is survival horror imo...however RE4 has tension. This is due to the fact you are alone and there is no one around to revive you. Not to mention it was a new experience. RE5 is a carbon copy of core gameplay that part 4 laid out 5 years ago. Its not as tense the second time around...
And Kyle, very few people thought that RE4 is a mess at the time. It was one of the most polished and playable 3rd person action games last gen. Sure it wasn't Resident Evil anymore, but thats fine as they did something kickass and new with it.
But even if there was something wrong with RE4, you are saying that RE5 corrected everything those things? It came out 5 years later yet I fail to see how RE5 improved on part 4 in any way. It was a side step in quality at best...trade the single player experience for a new coop experience. But 5 years have passed and other games have surpassed the standards set by RE4 in the meantime.
Since all RE5 wants to be is an 3rd person coop action game, there are similar games out right now that mop the floor with RE5 in both coop and single player experience.
