so is there any horror left in this game from what u can base off the demo compared to RE4...

i know a lot of people say its kind of a joke to consider RE4 a horror game and i agree, but there was certainly still a couple jumpy/freaky parts in it, i sure remember the first time i encountered the zombie with a bag over his with the chainsaw early in RE4 to be pretty damn freakykidcool189

The environment is great but not scary imo! Not an survival horror game like RE1, 2, 3 and Code Veronica.

Can't believe how small the download file is. Anyhow, pretty boring to me, never been a fan of RE series though. Will try it again in co op later though. Don't see how there is any horror at all though.

there is one part perhaps more when chris just has a flash light and going through a dark infested mine. RE5 will surely have some freaky moments as did 4, but capcom are keeping that low, not to spoil, etc.

Played the JP demo -- confirmed what I expected. Resident Evil 4 HD Remix.Haziqonfire

its funny how they can do 7 or 8 RE games that play almost identically, but as soon as they do a second one that plays like 4 suddenly its somehow not good.

It's the usual band wagon beating. I don't get it personally - even if it was just a reskinned RE4 which it isn't, it would be good to see a bit more of the good that RE4 opened up on.

It's basically RE4 HD which is awesome. I don't really like the controls on the 360 though, I played RE4 on the PS2 and found it much easier.

How is it RE4 HD? RE5 plays differently (new shooter controls), Has more melees, Buddy system (share items, Voice commands, help each other over obstacles both needing to apply to the action for it to work) Improved animations (reacts according to the surroundings), destructible environments, etc. The core gameplay is the same, because only RE4 used it..that was just 1 game and that NEW improved gameplay made RE4 so dam good, why would the alter that for the next game? Its a sequal. You can also change the controls to TYPE D so it plays like RE4 (right trigger to aim and A to shoot) but there strafing is still there..so both analogs are used.

Well, the buddy system seems to be the only real new addition right now. Even though I played it on the 360, it still "felt" similar to 4. But I'm fine with it being similar to RE4, that was one of my favourite games ever. Anyway it's just a demo, we haven't played the full game yet.

Well, the graphics are good (still overhyped imo) but the environment and enemies are good. On the other hand there are 2 main problems:

1 - The game is not scary imo(at least in the demo). So i wouldnt consider it a survival horror game like Res1, 2, 3 and CV.

2 - You cant walk while aiming. It was not a bad thing in previous gens but imo after playing games like Gears, DeadSpace and others....

god, you got the arcade box?

unfortunately, yes... poor college kid that needed a current gen console, id say it was still more than worth it than putting it off and saving up for a pro but hey, just got it brand new recently and i know its a jasper, so im happy ill eventually come around with the extra dough to pick up a hdd within the next month

i think you can get a 20 gig refurb for, like, 30 bucks now. its not a whole lot of storage, but it will get you where you need to go.

Great demo. I wanted to keep playing. It will give KZ2 a run for it's money as far as graphics. Only negative thing I noticed was some minor slowdowns during splitscreen play. But I love they way Capcom handles to splitscreen view :).

Wow I am underwhelmed. Lets just take every feature of RE4, not impove them at all, slap them on this game with some prettier graphics, and give you a really crappy AI peron.

I see how you may not like it, but RE5 is the first shooter has been built from the ground up specifically for co-op. Best played with a human :P.

I forgot about L4D! Great game. Army isn't good IMO, but still valid. But my point is still that all of these co-op games are best played with humans.

Even if the demo was already availible for PS3, I wouldn't be able to download it because I'm still waiting for my new PS3's HDD chassis to arrive, and for my school to white list my PS3 on their server. :(

Just played for 2min and I sort of liked it, theres a tension there that keeps your heart pumping, I need to study now so I'll play more later. I was really hoping I wouldn't like it =( I don't have money for all theses games... lol I Didn't play 4, I played only like 30% of the game so it being too similar isn't really a turn off for me, but from what I played it does seem very much alike, tho the coop is always a great addition, I love the coop.

You basically want it to be like Gears of War? There aren't many occassions when a trained soldier or special forces operative would fire while moving, unless you count shooting from a vehicle.

Did I say it was a bad thing?

From what I gather it is going to be more of the same. They are taking the RE4 forumla and put it in HD with a different set of characters, location. I still can't believe you can't move while you are aiming your weapon. I figured they would have fixed that by now.

As a side note I feel more comfortable with the classic control scheme.

Soldiers are trained to Fire while moving, I don't know where you heard that from.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I think RE5 is going to be a great game, but I'm very hesitant to buy it at full price. It does not look like Capcom has done a lot to update the gameplay aside from co-op, and personally I think that the co-op is going to make this the least scary main-series RE game yet. Even though I loved RE4, I really hope Capcom goes back to horror with the inevitable RE6. Resident Evil made Survival Horror popular, so it's a real shame to see it abandon its own genre to be an action game.

Or pony up $50 and get endless more hours of gameplay. Seriously it is worth it. If it wasn't nobody would do it.

Did you use all 5 or so accounts you get with your Xbox 360? Microsoft gives you like 5 accounts and you get a free month of Gold with each one, so you might aswell use them. You can open a new gamertag, then download it there, and then play it using your normal gamertag.
