Sheva! Come on! Come on! Come on! Sheva! Sheva! Sheva come on!

Fun fact: Re 5 has the same director as Re 2 Remake and Re 4 Remake. Yasuhiro Anpo. We are so ready for Re 5 Remake.

“And if your partner looked like Sheva you’d do the same.” Amen brother!

Legit one of the best coop experiences ive ever had playing with my brother

I adore re5. My uncle bought it for me for my birthday when I was a kid; he lived far away and I never saw him. We played all of re5 coop online both me and his brother (other uncle) he knew the game like the back of his hand and showed me all kinds of cool stuff weird glitches, new guns ect ect. He passed away from cancer last year; I love you Michael, I miss you. I won't ever forget our time together.

Sheva being left handed and cycling the bolt by rotating the starting rifle and reaching over was one of the most mind blowing little aspects at the time

Coop aspect was such a game changer

Fun fact: the voice actor of Chris played Ezio Auditore from Assassin’s Creed, Batman in Arkham Origins, and currently plays Sonic the Hedgehog. His name is Roger Craig Smith.

That thumbnail is something else gman 😂😂😂

Chris in RE5 is so Buffed cause of Wesker... *"You have to become a Sup to Fight a Sup"* .... A quote from "The Boys"

This was my first Resident Evil and I still remember my first playthrough of it and the hours I poured into Mercenaries mode as Tribal Sheva. I am absolutely glad I played this game because despite not being like the older titles, it left a massive impact on me when I was 13 and made me want to enjoy the franchise. I will admit, while I do feel like a remake of this game isn't necessary due to how well it has aged, I would be absolutely down to re-experience this game in VR like I enjoyed with RE4 Remake recently

I think the most memorable line from this game was Wesker saying: "Humanity requires judgement!" with Chris then retorting: "and you're going to judge us, is that it? do you get all your ideas from comic book villains?!" (the last part being my favorite)

The reason why Chris is so buff is the beatdown he got in Code Veronica. His nemesis came back to life as a inhumanly strong superfast monster with cool glowing eyes. I would hit the gym like a madman too, just to get any conceivable edge. I mean, Weskers strong AF now, but he doesn't weigh more, probably, so I can still lift him and throw him if I am strong enough.

That wasn't punching a boulder, Chriss just took a break mid-fight to make same triceps and shoulder series, you know, gotta keep that pump or the cycle will be wasted or something.

Re5 was one of my first resident evils and probably my favorite. The memories me and my brothers have with this game is irreplaceable good on yall for know why this game is so amazing.

I remember reading the RE5 art book/strategy guide that said the reason Chris was so jacked was because he wanted to be in peak physical shape to fight wesker.

Special place in my heart, I went into depression during college, spent 3 days in my room, on my computer, smoking weed all day playing this game in the dark....It helped me get out.

That RLM reference for Wesker made me pull up their video just so I could see it again. Thank you sir.

Re5 got my mom into resident evil. She Professional runs this game solo easy. But also, she beat it with me and then did 6 and went through the anthology on Playstation 3.

I know it’s not considered the best, but it was the first RE game I actually beat as a kid. Me and my friend played through the entire game in a day. Holds a special place in my heart.

When The Residents Are Evil Part 5

One of my most memorable gaming moments was finishing this in co-op on my 360 with friends (we kept cycling controllers so nobody would miss out), and we defeated Wesker literally with the very last bullet of our combined ammo supply. Good times.

absolutely criminal that Sheva wasn't part of Wolfhound squad in Village

I remember playing this game and even playing the split screen with my little brother and having a blast. Never took the game super serious.

It's still my favorite co-op game of all time.

The big controversy I remember was that it was set in west Africa and there was a virus breakout.

My take is whoever dislikes RE5 never played the co-op. This is legitimately one of the best co-op games I've ever played, because, despite it being rather simplistic, it has been designed very well around the idea of two players interracting with each other Tag team combos, assists and saves, occasional splitting up the players, bosses designed for two players (for example, Wesker and the first Ouroboros encounter) Despite being a massive introvert, I absolutely love co-op games. 2-player story mode ones especially, like RE5 and Clandestine. It gives you this feeling of camaraderie. Like you are back-to-back with someone you can trust will cover and assist you when it matters the most. And, well... My go-to game when I really want to feel that way is Resident Evil 5

These thumbnails just get better and better.

So true, replayable campaign + mercs was just a great package for a game. Still remember looking up how to use Wesker's super speed sprint in mercs and just speeding around the maps. An arcadey action game sure, but lots of fun, and RE5 Wesker remains one of the coolest game villains ever.

Remaking this game is gonna make the media and twitter have a meltdown

The Brosnan Goldeneye towel cut away had me gasping.

Resident Evil 5 is still one of my favourite Co-Op games ever. It was simply spectacular to play with a friend.

This game has a special place in my heart. My sister was working at Best Buy at the time so I got it a little bit early and I knew nothing about resident evil only about the movies and this game is what got me hooked and made me a fan for life. Oh, and I was stuck on the chainsaw guy for about a month.

I remember playing the demo execution part over and over again with my friends with the online co op. One of the best demos back in the day on the old 360.

RE 5 was fking AMAZING

I had a great time with this game at my 2nd apartment. I played this a ton with one of my best buds. We played that co-op mode a ton. It was a satisfying gameplay experience & looked good for it's time

The thing I like me about survival horror with returning characters is that if a character is returning, from their eyes, they are used to the crazy shit they have to go through more than a first timer. Of course, for Chris, this game is going to be an action game because he's already survived the Spencer estate.

As someone who also replays older RE games once in a while, MT Framework looks clean even today.

I have such fond memories of this game in my late teens, I hadn’t played an RE game since being a child and picked this up during the UK summer holidays in 2009 on a whim. My friend used to come over each saturday to play co-op for a few chapters, it was such a fun time full of laughs.

RE5 Was a game that I remember playing in co-op with my little sister a ton back in the day, going farming for gems in the bog and messing around in mercenaries mode will always be fond memories.

RE5 always will hold a special place in my heart. When I finally got my 360 my first two games for it where RE5 and MW2. Easy to say the best two first games you could get for a console to break in. Og RE4 will always be my favorite, but man is RE5 up there pretty high for me.

i like how you were able to actually explain the purpose of the boulder punch, but also i wanna add onto the boulder punch in that, he was trying to move the boulder aside, those quick sudden punches can actually help move lodged obstacles, it's why when people use a battering ram to open a door, it's not a consistent force being applied, instead it's more sudden. sudden impacts can help in some instances more than consistent force.

My favorite weapon is the bow. Hunting headshots with it without the reticle is always satisfying. It’s also incredibly overpowered.

if re4 was a campy 80' horror flick then re5 was a campy 2000's miltary action thriller. loved it, and it has the best mercenaries mode to this day. also helps that jill, sheva, and excella were all smokin'

Re5 came out around the same time as my best friends birthday, and we ended up staying up all night playing it through in one sitting that night. Very good memories of re5. I really hope they do it justice.

I had a blast with RE5 back when it launched in the ps3, co-op felt good and i probably cherish it way too much because of the couch co-op (the good ol' days). Went for full platinum, no regrets.

This game will always hold a special place in my heart. I've co-op'd this game so many times with my best mate from the US. The lag always led to some hilarious QTE fails. nailing a transitional area "response callout" before a screen fade will always be hilarious

I played through this game with a buddy about 6 or 7 times back in the day and had an absolute blast every time. Still to this day we say "7 minutes" the way Wesker does in his boss fight. We replayed it a few years ago and it was awesome. I'd love to get a remake with co op intact. Definitely underrated in the series.

9:34 - Well, technically, there's a file in RE6 from her which is addressed to Piers (Chris' partner for that game). It's not much, but at least she didn't completely drop off the face of the earth.

I remember getting the Gold Edition of RE5 for PS3, and being excited that I could play through the game with the Wii's pointer control using Sony's Move controllers. Honestly, I still think it's the best way to play through the game. And you can use it with co-op, while your partner can use a regular controller if wanted.

This was my first RE game, played with my little brother all the time, and stepdad. Even though the nostalgia clouds me a little bit, i still think there is so so much enjoyment to be had in this game, glad to see so many people agree

I loved playing 5 with my brother. We had an absolute blast.

The boulder punch kind of makes sense... My laugh at it is that a punch isn't gonna do more than throwing your shoulder into it. I get it is to move the boulder but punching it is a bit ridiculous in light of a better option... That's what makes it dangerously cheesy like Cheetos.

This game is so good. People were mad at this game because they will never be as buff as Chris. Simple as that lmao. Man I love RE5! Sick game.

The prologue in RE5 with Wesker is odd because I always remembered the revelation of Project W being that Wesker was some kind of test tube supersoldier but then recently I did some lore reading and no. He was literally just adopted. That was the reveal, he became a superhuman after injecting the virus and dying in RE1 which kinda just happened by chance.

RE5 is actually one of my favourite ones. me and a friend had endless fun on this game unlocking all the super weapons and blitzing the campaign

*@Gman* ☣️🧟‍♂️ Thank you, I appreciated this one. Brought back some great memories, dude. It was entertaining and comical as usual! Alright, @ 23:12 cracked me up. 👨🏻‍🍳🤌🏼 Me and my cousin completed Resident Evil 5 through co-op, and it was definitely a fun all-nighter. If I remember, we also beat Resident Evil 6 co-op during the same weekend. Nothing better than those simpler times, huh. 😭

I remember there was an exploit where you could load up on ammo before the boss fight in the elevator and save, then do it again as many times as you want. I had nearly unlimited ammo for all weapons after that, made things fun.

I HAD to have a second person to platinum this game, some of those licker areas you had to cheese in order to beat them on the highest difficulty, luckily my field at the time was willing to put up with game so thank you, Jennifer, for letting me platinum this game over 15 years ago. Now I feel old

That thumbnail is the best 👌

You’re literally my hero. I’ve been in the process of making an RE5 defense video for almost a year now. Amazing work! Re5 is amazing!

RE 6, too. It wasn't what people expected. But felt like a Michael Bay movie and the co-op was "chefs kiss"

Me and my friend had a unique experience with this same so I had only played the og re4 and he had just finished the remake so we decided to play this together and it was really fun and kinda difficult with how you had to manage ammo but it was a blast

Played this with my dad during my childhood. Still love it to this day.

reverb fart.

I swear, if they remake this game and remove the boulder punching, I’ll be deeply disappointed.

That RLM footage is now forever part of RE5 playing experience. Wesker cutscenes always remind me of Chris Evans laughing maniacally.

I had this on the 360 ages ago and got through a little bit of it back in high school. Played through co-op with my best friend during COVID and had a BLAST. Then I bought the xbox one version that came with the newer Mercenaries mode and all the characters, we became pros at menu reloading. So much fun, man

I remember borrowing RE5 off a friend in highschool. I got close to the end but got stuck at the double minigun guys with no ammo. Gave it back to my mate after a week never finishing it. Fast forward about 10 years and i saw a copy on xbox 360 for the grand price of £2.99. Absolute no brainer, bought it and spent a few days smashing through it on every difficulty and had a blast. Thoroughly underrated game. A remake would be fun, but the OG holds up.

You always seem to have the same opinion as myself, mate. It's such an under apreciated game. I recently downloaded this on ps4 and played it couch co-op style with my wife, and honestly, it was great fun. Couch co-op is an option sorely lacking in video games nowadays.

Great memories playing this split screen Co op on the PS3 with a friend. Happy times!

RE5 Was like RE5 but if Michael Bay and James Cameron had a baby in my opinion, you just can't stop watching whatever the hell it is going on.

I never understood the hate for re5. I swear people just hate on good games sometimes just because it’s trendy

I had a blast playing this in coop over and over. The setting was also very fresh and made this one a unique experience. This and especially 6 definitely deserve much more praise, because they were the peak of the series. No wonder the remakes are much more successful than the sequels...

Fond memories of this game as a kid. The big cutscene with Wesker at the end, then as soon as it ends he immediately shoots me in the face with his Desert Eagle in an instant kill.

This was the first Resident Evil game me and my brother played co-op and it was a blast

I will always love this game. Always. I played through it on each difficulty with my best friend and its some of the best memories I have of playing a co-op game. We played through RE6 the same way and it was also a blast. Especially making fun of the silly story but the gameplay was still enjoyable. He went missing in February 2013. Those memories are all ive got of him but it makes RE5 and RE6 very special to me no matter how silly and over the top they are. Great vid Gman and I appreciate that you love the game as well. I hope youll do a video on RE6 sometime too. Even though its story is absolute dog shit and its Ada clone villain plotline is so bloody ridiculous!

I never understood why so many people hated this game. Yea punching a boulder was dumb but it’s already seen as a classic

Agreed. You have made me regret not ever tapping into the Mercenaries Mode tho. I preordered this game when it came out, got a 360 exclusively to play this game, skipped school to play it, and replayed the story a dozen times. But never even played mercenaries enough to unlock anything. I repent!! I still have the Gold Edition so Imma get on that. Love your content as always.

I loved this game, me and my buddy used to talk on the phone while we played re4 for the 1000th time and wed always say how cool itd be to play co op. Then what do you know this came out and we stayed up damn near all weekend playing it. Great memories. But i do wish theyd remake code Veronica first but that doesnt seem to be going to happen

6 was definitly worse

The main criticism I have besides the coop thing, is the inventory system because it’s a straight up down grade from an assortment of space and management to literally 9 squares, and I pray to god the inventory system in the RE5R is a straight copy and paste of RE4R.

The "What's that? What's that, brother?"-bit got me rolling every single time. Hahaaaaaa! I had RE5 in my backlog for some years and even touched it one time. Didn't stop because I didn't like it, I simply didn't have the time at the time. But now since you mentioned it...I think it's *time* to head back in. Many thanks fam.

Just started the video. I just wanna say this was actually my second RE game, with my first being RE1 when I was like 4. RE5 will always be special to me because of the CO-OP. My brother (6 years older than me) and I never really got along but when RE5 came out, he asked me if I wanted to play it with him and we've been best buds ever since.

The co op play is great fun. My daughter never leaves me any ammo and steals the lot.

Always loved this game. Played it on the 360 back in the day with my brother doing some classic split screen co-op. We stayed up all night completing the campaign.

9:30 - There is a little lore letter from Sheva to Piers N. in RE6 that basically goes “Na man, I don’t know where Chris is, but I do know what kind of person he his”. Aside from that, I am shocked and appalled that you did not mention Josh Stone, the BEST character, and I am not joking.

I remember seeing the trailers for this at the time & it blew our minds

I still manage to get multiplayer co-op sessions for RE5 on the PS3. Such a fun game.

One of my favorite resident evils ever, my first played and to get me into the series and ive completed 100% on all difficulties more than once.

Thank you for showing love to this game. I always actually enjoy it every time I play it, especially the mercenaries.

I always looked at RE5 as not the best "Resident Evil" game, but unquestionably one of the best Co-op games of all time. And it will be interesting to see which direction they will take the remake, if they lean more into the co-op action, or tone it down to a slower, scarier, more puzzly game. At the expense of the co-op fun factor.

Props for the Iron Man Tetsuo reference!

Resident Evil 5 is one of my top 3 RE games and I'm glad there's people out there still giving it some much deserved love.

I remember having such a blast completing RE 5 with my buddy years back. Love every single moment of it despite whatever people said about the game at the time of release. I wonder what they will do with 5 remakes in the future, hopefully they should keep the co-op aspect while improving the action-survival-horror aspect like the 4 Remake does.

RE5 is my favorite RE game of all times, every time I play this all I need is the starting pistol and the m3 shotgun for the entire game with the shotgun having long range and the rest of my damage comes from my melee moves since those are so satisfying

I never played the 5th for years but recently finished it with a friend in splitscreen. It was a blast and I will surely do it again. It's awsome.

30:00 damn look at those knee cappin skills.

That boulder mission tho

One of the best co-ops and truly a product of its time. I wonder how it translates to the eventual remake and how much does Capcom need to tiptoe around some things that might not fly in today's culture.
