This game has to be one of the best looking if not the best looking game on the xbox 360. The gameplay is very solid and plays similarily to RE4. The controls are good but I didn't like the default controls so I changed it to Type C controls where you are able to strafe left and right instead of turning. All in all this game is shaping up to be great and I can't wait for it to come out! Day 1 purchase for me!!!

Hold up! The different controls are more than just a different button layout? They allow for different movement actions?

It looks and plays awesome. I just wish the series wouldn't have gone so action oriented. Where's the horror? Here's hoping for the full version.

you can look with RS and shoot by holding LT +RT, move and strafe with LS, and use the dpad for item/weapon select

Yup the default controls play exactly like RE4 where if you hold the analog stick left or right your character will only turn that direction. The other control layout allows you to actually strafe in all directions instead of only turning.

Yeah, it's rare this generation that I get extremely excited about a game and I wind up satisfied. But this game has definitely satisfied me. :)

Well I guess thats cool. I'll have to try it out. I just dont want RE to become TOO fast paced, or action oriented and completely lose sight of its roots. In other words I dont want RE7 to be a run n gun FPS. But if RE5 is similar to RE4 with less ammo then Im cool with that.

I downloaded all 5 parts, put them in a folded and extracted with winrar. Burned the content folder to a disc and put in my 360 and the disc said mixed media. I went into my demos and it wasn't there. Am I doing something wrong?

Put all the files you downloaded in one folder, and then extract only one of them.

make sure you download all files completly, i know it for alot of people incluseing myself it said downloaded 100% but part 1 was missing 40 mb, anyways after downloading extract part 1 with winrar and it will make a folder call content, burn that folder (not whats in it) to a cd as a data disk

Thanks, i was doing the actual file. I'll see if this works, but the CDs I am using suck...about one in five work.

Edit: Thanks, finally got it to work.

I have a feeling this game won't be the masterpiece that 4 was. There are probably going to be more locations after Africa and it won't stay as consistant as 4. I've already stated I hate chris's character model, they made him like a hulk(gears of war) instead of sticking with the original model they had in the first trailer mainly due to the influence of gears of war. These japanese developers saw the sales of gears and probably thought people from the west liked that steriotype (which is not really the case) of characters, just like japanese like emo looking characters, anyways I think you get the point. Then they go and copy another feature from gears of war, the coop. Yes, it worked for that game because it was built arounf the coop experience and not a great singleplayer game unlike re4 which was all about having a great singleplayer game. They should have made any type of online feature a side thing and not have it interfiere with the singleplayer experience, now they have to build the game around the multiplayer which in my opinion is going to degrade the whole experience. This is all comming from a re fan who also loved re4

Umm, your getting it wrong..the default controls are controls D which moves like gears of war and shoots like it, instead of turning you strafe...etc. Control A is the RE4 ones. Like i said before its controls like Gears of War, when moving. again, the game is addictive and fun...for sure.

I simple extact all of them at once a folder and burnt that content folder only to a cd. Hmm, its works perfectly. I didnt know you could do it tht way.

1) you haven't played it 2) its only 2 levels that are VERY SHORT 3) stop assuming its action and NO horror. 4) Look up the word HORROR. RE5, IMO has the survival horror intact, its more survival and has more tension that 4.

Thats good to hear. but something that bothers me is that in every preview/impression I've heard/read, everyone talks about how it plays similar to Gears. that really bothers me, why would an RE game play like Gears? Also, honestly speaking, to all guys that have played it, is the game scary, does it have that dark/scary/survival atmosphere. if you any of have played SIREN: Blood Curse, which is scarier. last but not least, other than the graphics what distinguishes RE5 from RE4? Thanks in advance.

I am still kinda meh about it. It looks really good, and i really like the in-your-face gameplay... But ... wheres the gore?! Blood splatters when you shoot a zombie, but where is the wound?! You shoot a guy in his chest, blood squirts out... but yet his shirt remains completely unscathed? not even a blood spot? For everything they did in this game, the least they could have done is real-time wounds. (that is to say, you shoot a guy, and you actually cause a bullet hole) I don't get it. You step on a zombies head, and it smooshes like an egg shell, yet you shoot a guy in the arm, and it just causes him to flinch? I really don't think this is too much to ask from a RE game, where gore and horror are key elements. There isn't even blood splatters on the ground or anything! Its like the creatures blood just evaporates! -_- Maybe i'm just being too picky, but I'd really expected more :/ That being said, it still looks pretty good. If they add more gore, It would be a MUST BUY for me.

The bullets not leaving wounds or at least some kind of blood stains on the shirts is also a negative for me. I haven't actually played the demo but this was a concern for me ever since I watched some of the first gameplay videos. This is something that should be very possible especially since its done so pretty well in L4D.

Yeah, I dunno. It was weird though. The videos of the gameplay impacted me so much that I actually had a dream about RE5 lastnight... I don't even know why. I think it was just the realism used in the "Zombie" AI. they are slow moving, have extremely slow reaction time, and are all up in your face. where as the bosses seem a little smarter, and all. But the lack of gore is really sad. If I shoot that big guy (the one with that AWESOME axe) with the shotgun like in the video, he should be gushing blood, but still coming at me. However, there isn't even a drop of blood on the ground, on his axe, on his clothes/skin.. nothing! It looks so real other than that, but just that is enough to really take away from the realism. Also, I don't like how the sniper rifle immediately jerks you out of scope to reload. watching your target flail around headless is part of the joy of sniping. heh. Add more gore (by more, i mean a good mix between Killzone 2 and Gears of War) and then we'll talk business.

Meh I played it and still not impressed. RE4 in HD.finalfantasy94
not necessarily, but still not as impressive others are making it out to be. i loved the hell out of 4, so i was expecting the leap to the next gen to be just as phenomenal as it was when it went from 3 to 4.

LOL, gears 2 has an UNREALISTIC level of gore...added to make it looks COOL, its over exaggerated...capcom don't want to go that way and are keeping things at a realistic level. But still i don't know what your on about, the gore is fine, knife cuts leave wounds, blood gets on chris (but disappears)..and overall its well done....also, capcom still might be working on it, this demo was from an older build.
