Just gimme a few minutes to check out Sheva. Damn these are some tight graphics.

Daaamn, I'm getting my *** kicked. Gonna need a while to get used to the controls, I'm not aiming very well at all and get surrounded easily.

You have to move the cursor speed to the fastest settting or you wont survive for to long...lol. The demo is very good IMO. Controls take some getting use to and depending on the situation makes you think about what gun you need. The knife is your friend BTW. If anyone wants to play the demo lvls Co-Op online on 360 just message me.

Re: Resident Evil 5 demo impressions

learning to use the quick turn is key...since you move so slowly and awkwardly sometimes.
Having said that I like it. Graphics are good, and so are the animations and the breaking of objects. The shotgun is serious, and I like punching zombies in the face. I'll rent this for sure. I just hope the game has lots of 'down time' where you're figuring out puzzles and such without being constantly bombarded by zombies, another thing is it would be nice to be able to punch at will instead of only having the ability when prompted.
I found the demo pretty easy w/ exception to the chainsaw head-in-a-bag guy, he sliced poor chris redfield's head off (me).
another tip for people is you can equip using the dpad instead of pressing y and selcting something.

After seeing the videos it's pretty much what I expected...the one thing that could ruin the game would be is if it demands the player to do too much quick movement (to dodge attacks etc.) since the controls are slow and clunky it would be very hard to evade something agile.

Ok, so I added it to my queue, but my 360 is obviously off since I'm at work...it'll just start downloading when I get home? Is there some low-power mode similar to downloading after turning off that you leave the 360 in?

Re: Resident Evil 5 demo impressions

Played it about a month ago and I will buy the game. As mentioned before change aiming cursor to fastest speed.

Graphics are excellent. Looking forward to the PS3 demo to see how they compare.

Re: Resident Evil 5 demo impressions

I can't stand the menu set-up, not pausing while you select items or change weapons. Makes it hard when you're getting swarmed.

Are you using the d-pad?

Re: Resident Evil 5 demo impressions

Nice graphics but the controls are flat out terrible,the partner AI is entirely inept (big suprise!),the menu system is even worse than the controls even with the d-pad,the camera is even worse than the menu system (and the only other camera I ever complained about was Ninja Gaiden),still can't crouch,we're back to not being able to shoot or knife while walking and to top it all of course the classic if your partner dies through their own incompetence...like say,standing there switching between weapons they have plenty of ammo for while a guy with a chainsaw attacks them...it's game over for you. Also apprently there's a difference between face shots and head shots. Some get their heads blown off,some just turn around,not sure what the deal with that is.

Almost as bad as that RE game on the ship I don't remember the name of. Well hype goes a long way so I'm sure it'll get 9's anyway.
