Why Resident Evil 5 is not as popular as Resident Evil 4

There’s a number of reasons. It’s a very simple game that requires little to no thinking. I’m playing Revelations now, which I feel is the same. They have a very linear path with no real challenges. Gameplay elements from 4 are repeated but not done as well. The characters for the most part are less interesting. The only one I really cared about was Albert Wesker. I still prefer 2 and 3 over 4 and 5. Also prefer 7 and 8 as well.

Actually, among long time RE fans, they both have their issues stemming from the fact they're almost purely action games in a horror series.

RE4 had a really well paced storyline, however, which I'm guessing is the deciding factor here.

RE5... seems to have been made for good action and co op fun. This game is basically an interactive popcorn movie, and depending on your reaction to that, you'll either love or hate it haha.

Edit: If you need more proof, play RE6 and you can see the direction they were going in with these 3 games haha.

First of all, Resident Evil 5 was the best selling games for years (Capcom Ganes).

Resident Evil 5
I think the whole idea was to play it with a partner, co-op, not Solo with A.I., so not same type of game anymore as RE4 Solo was/is...

And when you mean popular, do you refer to RE4 original or Remake ?

Resident Evil 5 don't have an Remake, atleast not yet...

If they do, will be a BIG hype to play RE5 Remake... new players, old players..
