My Resident Evil 5 Demo impressions! (just finished playing it)

Well, i downloaded the japanese RE5 demo not to long ago, and after playinng it for a awhile...i'm come to the conslution that, it kicks ass. Its pretty much RE4 on roids...i just wanna clear out that while the game looks like RE4, it plays so much different now, expecially with the shooter controls, it actually plays close to gears, with holding A to run and left and right triggers to aim and shoot. The game has a more slow pace to it, heavier if you will, it feels realistic and moves feel fluid. Some enviroments are destrucatable and the fire is insane, blow up a barrel and it sets the floor on fire for a short time, pretty sweet. physics A.I is pretty hard and now i see why its made for 2 players, animations while similar to RE4 it's better and has a bit more variety, another thing thats cool is you know how you can shoot doors, etc? well if you have one of those infected villages infront of one, and melee him when promped you can punch him straight through the door, its dam cool.

Now to graphics...the character models are the best i've seen in a console game, Better than MGS4 and gear 2. Draw distance is awesome envrioments look great and trees/foliage sway etc, but due to the bumped up models, the enviromental textures are toned down from what i've played, you won't see gears 2 or Resistance 2 like textures, but flat low rez mostly...but from a distance still looks great.

My only negative is...

A) Sheva your A.I buddy, while its an awesome addition to the game and survival feel, she gets kinda annoying, most of the time shoots down your enemies and pretty much heals you all the time, when down...which is cool, but the freedom of the game feels limited, i straight away thought of the classic Re's how it should only be you, alone, doing the single player...it gives it more of that surival horror feeling, but i guess team work is the concept for RE5.

B) Enemie bodies dissapear in bubbles like RE4, i wish they would just stay lifeless on the ground, adds to realism

C) Jumping across to platforms, chris looks weird doing it, seems unnatual...while its a small thing, it kinda bothers me.

so far thats it...feel free to ask any questions.

Hold the phone.

What demo?

Won't M$ ban me if I'd have second, Japanese account? What's the safest way to establish one? I actually don't have my Live hooked, and I have 1 month Gold trial in handy, but I will have my 360 plugged to the net today for the first time, and I feel tempted to try the demo.Salt_The_Fries

No offense but you (TC) seem to be too hyped for this game and i cant take you too seriously.

Well, like always its best for everyone to draw their own conclusions.

No dont get me wrong, i just assumed that you are so hyped for this game that even if it had some flaws that it would be the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Havent played it myself so i cant really say, but you saying it has the best character models..... was little bit ... well...um i disagree (based on HD videos)

:)

[QUOTE="lusitanogamer"]RE5 sounds less and less like a RE game and more like a 3rd person shooter. It shouldn't be called a survival horror game anymore. Thanks for the impressions TC.II_Seraphim_II

If people are doubting my opinion on how the character models are the best compared to other consoles games...they shouldn't...once you play it, you will be amazing on how srsly detailed chris is, its the first thing you notice when you start playing, especially is hair. Eyezonmii

I believe you that they look impressive.

I actually like the fact that its more like an action game. Hope the controls are smooth and fairly simple, maby a bit gears/mgs4 like.

How about character animations? From the videos i've seen, they don't seem very fluid or natural.lusitanogamer

What i most love about the game, is how the enemies react to the environment... when your hitting them, say i punch a guy and his standing next to a wall, he won't just do the animation regardless, he will react according to whats around him (smacks into the wall, slides down steps, its dam fluid and good....and defiently improved. Uppercut someone never felt so good...their is weight to it, realism..etc. okay i'll shut up now. Eyezonmii
