Posted December 8, 2008 Resident Evil 5 site updated Capcom has just opened the interactive borders of Kijuju with the launch of http://www.residentevil.com/kijuju . This section of the official RE5 website will be home to unique content, not available elsewhere, including reward based content for sharing Kijuju’s secrets. Initially some content may only be accessible with a password. and you can watch a new video featuring *real* actors by clicking the "1" on the page. Its titled "Ceremony" and if the caption is to be believed, its set after the kijuju event (ie RE5). if it asks for a password enter "refinery" without the quotes, sometimes it doesn't ask for passwords for some reason .. more content will be unlocked as its shared more, or something like that. some of the random scribblings on the page .. Kijuju Wesker is a liar! Progenitor Virus Where is Ozwell Flashbacks can't stop them Las Plagas Uroboros pg67a/w Sheva knew they are they are they are they are in Kijuju Seashell is evil The Kennedy Report Raccoon City wasn't the end Majini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 9, 2008 new gameplay video - boss fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah saw some of that in the video earlier. That boss looks like a mess, don't like how you can't distinguish anything on it! It also looks like another borrow from Resi 4, closely resembling the 'IT' boss, only with added flying scenario! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 10, 2008 First impressions of the demo were better than i expected after some of the nagative feedback on here & my own high expectations of this game but i was a little underwhelmed, i think i expected too much but it is only a demo of 2 areas not the whole game. I agree with some of the negatives i.e aiming is bad in the bright sunlight, having Sheva with me the whole game, especially if she says '' Roger '' throughout everytime we converse etc. Control wise it is a lot like previous Resi's except for the inventory, i got decapped whilst in previous resi mode thinking i could take my time picking a suitable weapon lol but i'm hoping it adds to the tension in the full game & tbh, there are quiet areas where you can take your time sorting your inventory out (and Sheva's) On the whole i'm still looking forward to this game very much, i did enjoy the demo more after a few playthroughs & i think more strategy & quick thinking is needed in this resi due to the on the fly inventory & sharing items between chris & Sheva.

Posted December 10, 2008 I personally really enjoyed the demo. I only had a short play, and I found the first level pretty difficult (never actually managed it, kept getting axed!) and played the second level on co-op, which was a lot of fun, although they give you a tiny screen! On my 27" HDTV we were reduced to about 10" long screens each... but the co-op mechanics were interesting... then j7 got chainsawed.... Anyway, yeah, I found it fun, the on-the-fly inventory was fine, even if I will miss the big cases of guns and grenades. You can switch to shotgun with d-pad left in an instant so what's to complain about? The way I switched between pistol and a shotty on my back felt a bit like Mass Effect. I loved, loved Resi 4, enough that I completed it more than any other game, until I could finish the whole thing easily in about an hour. I'm really looking forward to this game, and feel as though all we've seen in this demo is a lil taste of what's to come, like the village from the beginning of Resi 4. I do hope there are parts that you do solo, however. Co-op is fine, but it's not exactly the alone-in-the-dark feel when you're not alone... is it? :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2008 Have microsoft blocked the jap demo even on disc somehow?? I tried it last night & it wouldn't play, not had a problem before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 11, 2008 Yep. Was announced earlier today that they have done as such. The jist of the announcement said that they are blocking people from being able to play co-op. Don't know whether that simple refers to the playing of this or to the playing of all co-op games, but I believe it to be the former. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 17, 2008 "OMG Resident Evil is so awesome; it redefines everything" (directed by Mikami) "But Resident Evil 2 plays like Resident Evil" "But Resident Evil 3 plays like Resident Evil " "But Resident Evil Code Veronica plays like Resident Evil" "But Resident Evil: Remake plays like Resident Evil" (directed by Mikami) "But Resident Evil Ø plays like Resident Evil" "OMG Resident Evil 4 is so awesome; it redefines everything" (directed by Mikami) "But Resident Evil 5 plays like Resident Evil 4" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2008 So we could be in for a long haul of sequels before we see Mikami step in and redefine the franchise by slightly altering the control scheme and shifting the camera more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2008 no one has moan before about re series being the same but it has started now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2008 no one has moan before about re series being the same but it has started now Exactly, what's wrong with it being the same? Tomb Raider 2 was more of the same, THPS2 was more of the same, Resident Evil 2 was more of the same. Yes it has the same basic gameplay mechanics, what's wrong with that, when RE4 was a really amazing game? Maybe its just me but the fact that it feels and plays like a modern RE4 has pretty much made this my most anticipated game.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2008 Exactly Shorty, i honestly don't get how RE5 is getting so much bad press form people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would bother me however if the game is the same! with recycled bosses/locations/set pieces etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2008 So looking forward to this especially after playing through the demo a few times. Resi 4 is my most played game ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2008 Huh? I thought the demo was too different. It's RE4 with all the horror and difficulty aspects taken out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
