Something about participating in it, rather than watching it, has allowed me to enjoy it on the level I think it's probably intended -- some of these games have scared the crap out of me. RE5 doesn't seem too scary at all, and I think that's almost entirely due to having a partner. In the earlier games, you were alone or separated from your allies almost all the time. In Resident Evil 4 especially, I had the sense that if Leon died out there, no one would ever know. That's a recipe for fear.Mitch Krpatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987162934932391765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-13566854377897751022009-03-18T05:46:00.000-04:002009-03-18T05:46:00.000-04:00Camp horor is traditionally co-op.Well, in a way.T...Camp horor is traditionally co-op.<BR/>Well, in a way.<BR/><BR/>The camp horror movies surely aren't traditionally watched by yourself, but with frineds (or a special someone).<BR/><BR/>And co-op in horror games isn't exactly new. Consider the Obscure games on the PC, PS2 and Wii (Obscure is the name of the games, I think 1 & 2 were on the PS2 & PC and 3 is only on the Wii).<BR/><BR/>The question about Resident Evil 5's co-op is the online co-op mode. How co-op in a horror game online affects the game experience vs. how it affects the game experience when enjoying it together on the same couch as with slasher flics and the Obscure games.<BR/><BR/>(Also, the best times playing RE4 I had was with someone else watching along. It's camera & gameplaypace made it something that was very inviting -rather then nausiating- to watch and I was much more likely to scream when I heard an enemy behind me when there was someone else there.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368145142733338253noreply@blogger.com
