Mercenaries Mode For RE5 Revealed
Resident Evil 5Resident Evil 5 is only eight days away, and we imagine survival/horror fans are already on the edge of their seats, awaiting the momentous day.
And if you want another incentive for purchasing and beating the game, check out this Mercenary Mode video; it shows you the action you will unlock upon completing the main adventure. Those who are familiar with previous entries in the franchise are well aware of such a mode: you get to revisit certain sections of the game and blast as many enemies as possible within a certain span of time. We imagine this isn't the only thing you unlock after beating RE5, but new modes always add to the longevity of any game, right? Of course, seeing this video is bound to re-spark the control debate, because many have already said, "hey, I could probably do a lot better at this Mercenary Mode if I could move and shoot at the same time." After all, you're going up against the clock and speed is of the utmost importance. But we figure that if you've already beaten the game, you've become comfortable with those "tank controls;" it also helps if you've played previous RE games, too. The bottom line is that if you enjoyed RE4, you'll likely enjoy RE5...and how many of you out there had fun with RE4? Lots of you, yes?
Anyway, it's always entertaining to blast away without the hindrances of plot or puzzles, and that's exactly what Mercenary Mode will give you. Have fun!

If capcom put a slow walk 'n' fire method in the game,they'd probably give you next to fu*k all ammo & you'd end up standing still anyway to make every shot count!!
Shoot or slash em in the eyes then punch/kick them in the face & finish on the ground.

I'm still not sure about the controls, I understand it's Resident Evil, but it just seems like it would be more fun if they were different.
For the record, I've never been a RE fan, and I'm not a fan of survivor horror. I've played all the RE games, just never passed any of them. I even thought some were really good, I just never liked the controls much.
My favorite was Code Veronica on the DC.

I won't lie, there was a learning curve, but after an hour or so it was a piece of cake!

I hope theres a unlockable mode where u play as h.u.n.k or barry(like assignment ada or separate ways)without a partner for some old fashion single player fun,it BETTER not show up as DLC!!!
The mercenaries was awesome in RE4,that double bladed dr.salvador guy was almost invincible,ya had to keep climbing up to the highest point and blast him in the face with the shogun a few times then jump down,wait for him to follow then climb back up and repeat it all over again,although it was easier with wesker,h.u.n.k & kauzer.
I wonder what the new version of him will be like...eeehe hee 1 week to GO WAHOOOO!!!!

On topic though I hope you can play as hunk and wesker and such like in RE4... maybe bring other characters like claire or jill :)
Edit: Also in addition to what I said about the game being scarier with the tank controls, another thing that would make it the scariest game since resident evil 4 would be the fixed cameras like in all the other ones... but that would hinder game play too much
