scariest monsters ever?!? the only scary thing in that game was how stupid your AI controlled partner was.

I think the problem with a game like RE5 in the eyes of many PC gamers - which is to say, people who are PC only and therefore don't have the opportunity to play the game on other platforms - is the perception that it is first and foremost a console game. Bit tricky to really explain and probably way off-base, but when I look at games like RE5 or DMC4, I see pure console games, the sorts of thing designed to run on systems I have over the years made a point of not buying. So it might be a great port, it might have some cool extras, but unless it comes out at a low enough price point to overcome that bias, I don't see it doing particularly well.

So we get a severely belated port with the only major change being a tacked on gimmick only available to the few that spent a grand on their monitor that they will charge full price for regardless?

Fuck you capcom.

we also get anti aliasing as well and real 1080P and beyond

"PC gamers will get the "ultimate Resident Evil package," including new costumes and a "new and improved" mercenary mode with three times as many enemies."

also a 3D mode for people with infinite money besides we also get the game cheaper than the consoles.

So do you really hate Capcom for selling you more game for less money?

If RE4 is any indication, none of that is in, the extra mode is poorly balanced and most likely never playtested beyond the first 5 minutes, controls are horrible and it still costs $60.

The controls were awkward enough in the console version, I can't imagine in translating well onto PC controls.

Yeah the AI was a nightmare. My single player professional run lasted about 5 minutes, half of which I wasn't alive to enjoy.
