    The online co-op is really cool, but the game itself looks like RE4 with better graphics, and this is coming from a longtime RE fan. I hope the PS3 version gets bullet holes in enemies' bodies and their weapons not dissapearing when they fall off their hands.

    Everything is meh now, I hate those companies like Capcom and S-E who are what they are thx to the playstation brand and Sony. Backstabbers. I'm skipping this generation of gaming.
