For most people here people that get the game will want it because it has good graphics and gameplay.

For me though, when I played 4 it was more of an adrenaline rush, and I was always hoping that the next guy wasn't holding a chainsaw and if he was then I'd brick myself. The bit where I touched cloth in 4 was when you jump down from the bridge and then 2 chainsaw women came running at you. At that moment my shotgun wasn't reloaded so you can guess what happened.

I am easily scared so when I bought the game I was kind of like 'Shit what have I done?!' but it gives you a sense of acomplishment once you battle your way through certain areas.

Loved the merchant guy, really don't think they should have removed him cause he was the one guy which when you saw meant you could relax a little.

 

The scare factor is the only thing stopping me from buying the game, yet that's the whole point of it I guess.

He has a Japanese 360 and a Japanese account.

 

It'll be up on the PSN at some point for all to enjoy

Just downloaded the demo and i have to say it's awesome!

 

Graphics are out of this world, plays fantastic oh and as a bonus it says at the end of the demo it ships on 1 DVD disk!

Someone on my friends list has this demo, he can't have created a jap account as it's still the same gamertag.

 

You can download it on a jap account and play it on any account.

 

I did it with the Tales demo and Eternal Sonata

Well, I've made a Japanese account, but it won't let me get the Biohazard 5 demo. It says "This item isn't available from your current location."

 

I've done as the guide said and I've even changed my location in the system settings to Japan. What now?

My friend has the same problem. Worked fine for me.

 

Maybe they've sussed out what people are doing.

 

Got to say I'm not loving the partner thing.

 

Resi is a game to play alone through most of it, with the occasional NPC tagging along every so often. 4 got it spot on. I think that having a companion all the time is going to detract from the experience.

 

Online co-op is ok, but again, it feels very un-Resi when playing it this way.

 

It's an excellent demo though, and I can't wait till March!

Not liking the partner either it just makes things more cumbersome. To be honest, that's what the demo felt like: cumbersome. It's becoming more and more an action game (something I'm aware RE4 started) and zero RE, but then again it's just the demo. But the controls, number of enemies and level design together didn't click, it didn't give the rush the encounters in RE4 gave. Also, the enemy animations are terrible, the weapons feel like pea shooter and the blood is horrible.

Explosions are amazing though, even with dowgraded graphics from the initial showing the game looks fantastic. And finally you can strafe and change weapons on the fly (real time weapon change!). Also, hurray for uppercuts!

I dunno if it's me, but the game got me a bit dizzy after a while cause of the turning, it's like the image drags or something. Maybe it's the framerate.

 

I'll try it with more time though, kinda rushed it a bit and a demo is just a demo. Don't doubt it'll be a great game, but something didn't feel right.

Hmm...not seeing many positive impressions? Pretty worrying.

 

That along with Mikami saying stuff about it "not being the game he would've made" have me kinda cautious now. I was always a bit wary at first with the whole new director but the game looked so amazing when it was shown it didn't seem possible it could turn out anything less than awesome.

 

Strafing and real time weapon change sounds kinda like they've removed the last elements that kept the series feeling remotely Resident Evil like now.

 

Did anyone (fans of the series specifically) have strictly positive impressions of the demo or does everyone have gripes?

Don't get me wrong, the game could be awesome, I'm not taking conclusions from a demo, it just doesn't feel right at times. And strafing is only when you're not aiming, I don't think it's a big problem. It just feels like RE4, the number of enemies on screen at the same time doesn't even change that dramatically, but the controls and Sheva are cumbersome and the level layout seemed somewhat off. It's like, in RE4 the almost complete absence of terror was placated by being overwhelmed by enemies, here you get overwhelmed, because the controls are clunky most of the times.

The weapons being completely weak doesn't help, because you're basically shooting peas at the enemies, running back a few meters, shooting some and whatnot and the AI seems pretty much the same as RE4 too.

Anyway, need to play it again.
