The only part of the demo that I really didnt enjoy was the fact you had to shoot most of the enemies multiple times even in the head to take them down...
my most pissed moment was when there is a enemy like an inch in front of me...I shoot him in the face with my handgun and he just steps back a little in pain, fast forward to when you are playing the level and hop to the top of the building with Sheva, I am at the guy throwing molotovs as far away as he can be and one shot in the face takes him down. I really didnt mind the whole low ammo thing because it made the game more interested. The first time I played the demo I was low on ammo all the time but my room mate and I have been playing it through multiple times and we now have a shitload of ammo come the end of the demo. The demo has its problems but hopefully these problems have been fixed by the time we get it. If not I still found the demo interesting enough to play the full game when its released. |
Im sticking to the hope that the finished product is worth the trouble as a whole.
|
Even if it falls short of part 4, it'll still be one of the better games this year. capcom could half-ass and turn out a decent game.
|
Yeah it brings the survival to whole new level in "Survival Horror".
|
Seriously this shit is hard. Partially due to the controls, but mostly due to... well yeah it's the controls!
Do we need a Run Button anymore? |
Meh, I like L4D okay (fact nonwithstanding that it looks and feels cheap) but this will be my pick for the zombie game of the year, I think.
It is definitely a lot harder than RE4, and the controls are a bit more frustrating, but I think I'll come to terms with it in time. |
They aren't zombies, UC :mad:
|
Downloaded the demo, never played an RE game before.
After playing the demo, I am going to continue the above trend. Game sucked shit. Controls are sluggish, and generally require two buttons, stopping to reload does not equal horror elements or strategy. If this is how all Resident Evils have played, I hope the sales of this game are as bad as the game itself. Thank God Dead Rising 2 just got announced. |
Yeah I think I'm done with RE, unless they seriously revamp the next one. And I was a huge fan up to 4.

As for this one, I don't understand the hate for it. Sure, the controls are sluggish, but to me, 4 felt pretty bad in that aspect too. RE has never been known for its control scheme, especially back in the earlier days (to move any direction, press up? what). I hope it gets better reactions when it comes out, but I'm loving the demo. Played it through several times already. |

That's the problem. They were great years ago, but so much better shit has come out since. |
I just got through playing the RE5 demo properly. I checked options and increased the speed of aiming to fastest and it made aiming decent. Ammo is everywhere, believe it or not and you just have to look for it. At no point in the demo did I run out of ammo even though Sheva did constantly, even when I split my ammo with her. Check drawers, other shacks etc and you should find plenty of handgun ammo. There is even a machine gun in a brief case somewhere in the first level which makes things a little easier. Not being able to shoot or reload while moving is a bit stupid and it cost me in the second level. The chainsaw boss at the end of level 2 really shows the fault in the "no walking while shooting" thing. Having a fast, one-hit-kills boss in a narrow alleyway that I can't avoid and shoot doesn't work. Overall, While it's a bit harder than usual RE games it's not as great as I thought it would be and I'm not talking about the typical fanboy thoughts of a game being flawlessly orgasmic. I expected it to equal RE4 and I think it's fallen short but with it only being a demo, I can't really say that. It's not at all scary based on the demo. I think the chainsaw boss would have been freaky if I hadn't gotten used to Dr Salvador in RE4.
Hopefully, in later levels, the game really picks up. I wont be buying it on release now and I wont be getting the LE. Once I'm done with whatever games I get between now and RE5 coming down in price, I'll buy it. |
I've yet to complete the demo, played very little with my bro. I'll finish it later.
|
Yeah renting it first for sure. My only "must buy" is GH Metallica now.
|
Played both levels of this last night with a friend and seriously had no problems at all with the aiming or controls. It was fairly hard at places but nothing that bad. "Mr Chainsaw" and "Mr. Giant - and I mean holy fuck that is a giant axe" ate a shitload of ammo though.

Dunno, hardcore RE fans complained that ammo was too abundant in 4. So maybe they're going back to the way it was in the first 3? Which might be a good thing, because as awesome as 4 was as an action game, by giving you the arsenal and ammo of a small nation, you kind of lost that nervousness and trepidation you got from pulling out a firearm.
But yeah, if they are going to do that, fine, but one shot to the head should kill. |
Quote:
I agree with the ammo thing as well, having to conserve ammo certainly increases the sense of nervousness in the game. Although with me because I'm so jumpy the idea of a giant centipede or spider jumping out of an enemies head massively increased the sense of nervousness for me anyway. |
Anything jumping out of anyone's head makes me nervous regardless.
|
Mother fuckers need to respect the head shot:mad:
|
Yeah, Fryza and jcmoorehead nailed it perfectly.
It was neat in 4 because once you had killed the body, you hear that tearing/gashing noise, and whoop, Las Plagas. I hope this is some variation of that, as the tendrils and BOWs releasing from heads makes me think it might be. |
I thought it was confirmed a long time ago, that the plot was connected to Las Plagas.

It was. |
People are bitching about not having ammo in the demo.
Are you people fucking serious? |
Also, today was like the eighth time I've seen someone say "this demo is the first Resident Evil I've ever played, how terrible it is".
People = Fucking serious? |
Quote:
|
1. People bitched about having too much ammo in RE4.
2. Old Resident Evil. How quickly we forget. 3. I imagine that you'd be capable of stocking up more effectively prior to the situations presented in the demo when you're in the actual game. 4. Again, alot of people had no problem at all with the ammo, even with this being a demo and all. Quote:
Deeemoooo. Demo. Demo. |
Yeah, seriously now. Good survival horror games don't have abundant ammo. That's the fucking point. Survival with limited resources. It's fineif you don't like that, but don't don't blame the game.
Oh, and RE4 and Dead Space don't count. Those are action games with a horror atmosphere. In summation, GROW A FUCKING SET. |
You're supposed to learn how to melee special in RE5, anyway. Shoot, run up, melee special. They didn't make your melee abilities that versatile for shits and giggles, come on now.

Did anyone know that the enviroments could be destroyed by the guy with the huge axe? I've seen him smash tables and a few stalls. The more I play the demo, the more I enjoy it. I managed to finally beat the chainsaw boss and, wow, it took a long time. I started by shooting an explosive barrel as he passed by, then unloaded everything I could find at him with uppercuts/hooks in between before finishing him off with a grenade. I think Capcom may have given us a bad selection of levels for a demo though. Yeah the level are fine but if they were going to give us 2 levels, it would have made sense for one level to be action filled and one to show the more tense areas of the game. That's not a complaint, just a thought. |
The game sucks, get over it.

Then I guess 90% of the people who played it must suck too. :roll:

Yes, 90% of the people.

I also explained why it's an improvement over old Resident Evils, how the ammo "problem" is what people were clamoring for, how the fact that this is a demo impacts the playability of the game (because gasp, it's not a whole game), and how alot of people that actually take advantage of the game mechanics practically handed to instead of trying to Halo their way through it aren't seeming to have a problem. You responded with "k it still sucks."
|
It still sucks.
|
I mean, most of the complaints about this game are, what?
- Waaah no ammo - Waaah zombies don't die fast enough - Waaah demo's too short - Waaah I'm too slow |

Ah, there's that maturity and whatnot we talked about.
So despite it basically being RE4 (a game that was hailed as an absolute classic with high scores across the board, ridiculous sells, numerous awards and nominations, considered by some to be one of the better games ever made and easily one of the best RE games ever made) with specific improvements (that were asked for by people that actually played the game), it sucks because you can't find bullets and don't realize you need to be kicking shit instead of shooting shit. Brilliant. |

A demo of a nearly completed project that will contains 9/10s of the stuff played with to be used in the game. A demo of a game that is not worth sixty bucks. A demo. |

It really is as much a 'survival horror' as Resistance or Gears of War are. IE- It's not. |
If you don't like it, that's fine. I don't give a shit. I'm just tired of people saying "It sucks because there's no ammo," or for the real geniuses, "It sucks because it sucks."
|
In short, you not liking a game does not = a bad game. Some people like it. Alot of people like it. If it's as much like RE4 as it seems, a whole shitload of people like it.
|
This game sure does suck.
|
I see dumb people. They're everywhere.
|
I can not quit playing this demo. It's madly addicting to me.
Put my LE on order yesterday, whooo. |

The $80 one? Maybe they'll have something like the Chicago Typewriter in this, too. Made for a fun 2nd walkthrough on the 4th. |

But I can only hope you're right, and there's something extra in there. Hopefully this is gonna be a good year for gaming, despite all the economic troubles. |
Anyone remember the RE4 guns for the gamecube? I wish I hadnt of sold mine.
|
Anyone that complained about not being able to move and shoot can be a little happier because Capcom have said there is an optional control system that lets you run as you shoot calling it a more "action" style of play and even saying it's more of a Gears of War style control system. You can stick with the style we have seen in the demo if you want to.
|
That is good news, the control system in the demo seems....dated.
|
It's nice that Capcom if offering the option but I wouldn't have caved. Certain games should be played a certain way, IMO. But again, more options are always good. I still have my method and people who want RE to be played like an FPS (for whatever silly-ass reason) have their option.

My last post was a false alarm, apparantly.

So many questions about this trailer. *Highlight for Spoilers, maybe?* Was that Wesker getting injected with Plagas? At least it looked like it...Is the Birdwoman Jill? Is Umbrella involved? Ugh. Longest wait ever. |
The demo wasn't to bad the aiming was a little slow. I will probally rent it but not buy it.
|
Oh man... Resident Evil is so consistently great.
|
Zombie fish? Thats a new one.
Tried the demo out the other day and thought it was "ok". Aiming was too slow for my liking and couldn't figure out where do go, even with the map. |
Aiming speed can be increased in the options screen. That may still be a bit too slow for some people, though.
The first level in the demo just calls for you to last a certain length of time. That's how it seemed to me, anyway. If anyone plays one demo level and then anopther level straight after it, you'll have to set the aiming speed again because the demo sets it back to "normal" between each level in the demo. |

So yeah, my dad and I played this demo and I really can't wait. It has the duo aspect of Zero with the gameplay of RE4 and the survival horror aspect of the origionals. This is going to be the ultimate Resident Evil and I'm super pumped. |

Outbreak Gun Survivor Anyways, hate the demo in single-player. No idea why but I finished it and didn't feel like wanting to play the finished version. It's not even something I can put my finger on, it's weird. |

You said Resident Evil They both have the name Resident Evil in it.

I also wish that the original Resident Evil 4 (using the classic format of RE) was released. Not instead of the 4 that did come out, but as well as.

What... are you gonna claim that I feel the last RE movie was great, too? Simply because it also has RE in the title?

Outbreak was fucking awesome.
Minus the lack of voice chat. But still. Good concept, pretty good gameplay. Although it kind of felt cheap to me, for lack of a better term. As for Gun Survivor....lol. |
|
I actually kind of liked Dead Aim too, to be honest. I was expecting the worst after Survivor 1, but it really surprised me.
|
Quote:
I know that the Resident Evil 4 we know is actually the 4th version of the game I think. The first became DMC I believe, the 2nd I'm not sure about, the third was the one set in the castle and was scrapped because it was too supernatural |

This game will rape you
|
Awesome RE4 reference at 0:53
|
Wait... it can't be... is it really her .... is that j...
|
Someone's excited.
|
And it's that Megaman avy.
|
So I just reserved the Elite package. Gonna see what happens on eBay. :-\
|
That sea monster battle looks fucking epic.
|
So I'm looking at my brother's copy of the game.
|
|
Yum.
|
Why isn't he/you playing it?
|
Well it hasn't been released (on the street) and he doesn't want whatever system M$ has to flag users who break street dates... with bootleg copies and modded 360's. We're probably gonna play the game on offline profiles.
|
You know that the checks are attached to the console and not an XBox Live profile, right?
Been playing on my offline 360 for about 4 days... Still having trouble getting into it. EDIT: Oh, and their bans are nothing to do with street dates, it's just if the disc matches perfectly with a retail copy. Don't know if it does or not yet, it's not in the database. Plus, the only released copies on the net are actually the Japanese version. Has English voice and subs though, but it means if you do have a street date fear, feel free to boot it up ;) |
Makes no difference to me, I could wait. It is the US version, though. I rather be safe than sorry.
|
It's not. The KFC release was mistakenly labled as RE5, when it's BH5. Unless your brother has better links than the ISO release groups ;)
It is Region Free through. |
No really, it's the legit American version - the same one set for US release.
|
You guys are a bunch of pirates...
|
And?
|
I'm telling.
