I'm currently toiling away at what should be the last Udon book review for the week; The Art of Resident Evil 5. It's an amazing book. Look for the review tomorrow.
As much fun as these reviews are to write; facts are facts. Book reviews on a videogame websites tend to get overlooked. That's why I'm taking this bit of info I gleaned from The Art of Resident Evil 5 and posting it here. I think it's interesting enough to point out to you non-book review reading members of the internet audience.
The back of The Art of Resident Evil 5 features tons of words and pictures that describe material that was cut from the game. Traditional "Romero-style" zombies, a revamped version of the Tyrant, and revision of the hallucination scares that die-hard Resident Evil fans know from the pre-release version of Resident Evil 4 (commonly known as Resident Evil 3.5) were all planned for the title at one point or another. There's tons of other stuff that was also cut from the game, but I'm going to save that info for the review.
Makes you wonder how much of Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS is adapted material that was originally planned for Resident Evil 5. We know the game will have good old puking zombies again, maybe that other stuff will make the cut too?

Resident Evil 5 was such a huge disappointment. From content, to gameplay, Dead Space definitely had it beat.
I love resident evil and 5 was a great game!
Can't wait for the 3ds game!
!!!

But then I was like :D

Also, Resident Evil 5 was an excellent game. Yet, yes, zombies would have made it better. I mean, they make everything better... everything except the Resident Evil movies, that is. Gross.
And those ideas might have been short lived during the development process. I don't really care either way, zombies does not automatically make a game good despite what anyone says. But it would have been interesting to see.
The Tyrant wasn't all that short lived either. He was originally a major player in the game's storyline, killing off a central character.
Probably goes to show that 5 wasn't much like 1-4. Otherwise I wouldn't have liked it.
As for Sherry, that was just a rumour that got out of control because of the early pictures of that blonde woman. I don't think they ever intended for her to be in the story at all, nor would she ever have a reason to be there.
I loved RE5.
What the fuck?
In that case, it would have been good to see, and while I don't think RE5 was by any means bad, I didn't love it as much has 4. It lacked its charm, it probably lost it when it went co-op.
I'm looking forward to RE:R, it's one o fthe titles that has me interested for the 3DS.
I dunno about anyone else, but I'm pretty sick of this "infected villager" bullshit.
I'm liking the western influence creeping into resident evil, and I want more of it. Resident Evil needs a mall!
