I think RE5 is going to be awesome, but if it's going to be better then RE4 or not i can't tell till the release of RE5. But as far as i can see of RE5 at the moment i don't think it'll have much trouble beating RE4. The only thing that RE5 might be missing is the fright feeling, RE4 had you on you're toes and getting a fright round every corner, but i think RE will lose some of it's chill factor this year since RE5 is based on non-stop action more then horror.

I have the CE pre ordered and will be picking it up at a midnight launch the night before so that Kit and i can play it co-op. He bought a PS3 headset just for that reason. I can't wait! XD

Yup, I'm really looking forward to it. It's still, and has been for the past 3 or so years, my most anticipated game of this generation. I've got the Special Edition pre-ordered, so I'm hoping it arrives early on Thursday. But should get it on release day at least. Can't wait to get stuck in to Mercenaries mode aswell.
