Thanks to an awesome ninja friend who was able to get in touch with a good friend from Capcom Japan...
I have been bestowed to try out the Japanese release of the PLAYABLE DEMO of resident evil 5! (ironically EVERYTHING is in English)
This demo comes with two scenarios (Sub Boss fights with) the Axe Wielder and Chainsaw Weilder!
This demo also has CO-OP! (off line split screen only)
For those who want to check this game out and/or who also want to rant about Resident evil, I'd like to hear your 2 cents!
Might as well get some game time in before the final version is released.
And for those of you who fight with Knives only - you guy (and ive heard some gals do it too) are WAY too hardcore for me :P
[Signs into Japanese Xbox LIVE account]
I see, so the Demo is out.
[Begins download]
EDIT:
Great, it's for Gold members only. Guess I'll check in in a few days then.
It it is a bummer for PS3 owners, I was hoping the demo would be downloadable for both systems. I seen the article on
Kotaku showing that the graphics is better then the PS3, but I am not seeing it. I wonder if the series will tie up any loose
ends from the previous game or just another story?
initial reports claim, this may (or may not) be an inclusive tie in with previous resident evil games.
Considering that Chris Redfield (good 'ol partner Chris) from Resident evil one and after Chris' run in with Wesker from RE:code veronica. Supposedly there is a power struggle with Umbrella and Wesker/Ada Wong's company and the control of the newest (or parastie) version of the Virus/bio-freak creating = zombie creatures...
from what I remember reading, you'll see either flackbacks or new images of old chracters including- rumors of an adult Sherri (the little girl from RE:2) and I'm hoping theres a side story similar to Separate Ways: featuring Leon & female character... but one could only hope. :P
speaking of which, has anyone seen the CG movie Resident evil: Degeneration?
I've heard mixed reviews, any feedback on that Resident Evil?
All I know about RE5 is that it ties into RE4, with Chris mentioning the mutated villagers being similar to the 'Ganados' noted within the Kennedy report.
From the looks of it, this 'new' parasite is VERY similar to the Las Plagas (parasite/virus) strain that was involved of the story line of Re4.
Basically Umbrella or which ever company it seems to be now its trying again to use Zombies (or technically a bio weapon) as a form of controlled army for _insert take over the world reason here_ :P
Supposedly theres a Solo game and a Co-op Specific game. Time to make new friends via xbox live and share the zombie killing love. :D
It sucks that they're not making RE5 for the Wii.
It looks so cool... DX

IIRC, the game has drop-in/drop-out co-op.

owned. :(
If I remember correctly the new company is Tricell. This is confirmed during the Resident Evil Degeneration movie and through the exclusive trailers for RE5. I can't wait since Wesker and Sherry are back. :) I'm curious what Tricell is plotting since they have both the t-virus and g-virus and possibly the las plagas.
Anyone download the Resident evil 5 (USA) demo yet?

I guess I could download and play with you. I have just recently got back on LIVE again. Marketplace has all kinds of new stuff.
<3
...
Anyways, yeah, just let me download it >_>.
Just find me on Xbox Live, I'll be probably online playing L4D after 10pm tonight.
I like Capping zombies :D
I'm not really liking the controls they have set up for this one so far :( You can't move while firing your weapon and to run you have to press 'A' (which means my thumb is occupied and I can't move my camera at the same time).
Hopefully it'll just take some adjusting, and I'm still really looking to seeing the story and characters, but that does kinda suck :/
I'm super picky about controls though.
I can't seem to find the demo. :( I haven't done anything on Xbox live so if someone could point me in the direction on how to find the download I'd be very thankful.
Xbox Live Gold might be needed*

Good luck finding it. :D
I finally got past my lazyness and went to download RE5D. Then I spotted HaloWars DEMO. Then, after downloading it, I went for RE5D. And then it tells me I am to young to download.
F**King Microsoft.
Its rated M. M is 17+! I'm 17! Jesus! But no, you have to be 18 to count as being 17. Bastards.
I despise the slow turning time with the characters, even after adjusting the settings in the options; Capcom better fix that junk.
I am not used to the controls (on the PS3) as well. That huge axe man is a pain in the ass until you realize you can actually get out of that room you are in.
I kinda want to get the SE from GameStop but price is $$$$... Hopefully that messenger bad is not flimsy.. maybe I should just rent it from gamefly.com instead :P
I was playing it over Xbox live last night around 1am-ish.
Ironically after about 3 failed loser noobs who didnt have their controls down yet.
I was able to beat BOTH the mini scenarios in the demo. Later with Two random different experienced RE players. :)
I learned that the 1st scenario has an extra machine gun, and the 2nd scneario you could use an Electrial Transformer to Eltrocute the Chainsaw boss.
Again if you want to play via XBOXLive or PSN network give me a ring.
Man, this game is gonna be fun :D
I like brains @.@

I run out of bullets easily

Thanks Jerry for telling me how to get it!
So far I really like the game (hope the difficultes can be changed, the demo was too easy). My only complaint is the bright setting. It won't be scary at all if it is all in the day so I'm hoping only small parts of the game are outside while most of it is in dark labs and other intimidating areas.
Started playing since midnight.
unlocked about 5~7 achievements so far.
actually playing with someone who knows what their doing? Priceless.
so far complete chapter 2-1 damn myself for going into work.
but no spoilers as of yet except:

Lucky!
well. its been about 48 hours...
thanks to matt's friend Robin ive beaten it on Ameuter [easy]
got all costumes and about 30/50 achievements.
took about 10 to beat.
and is boy the final boss a bitch to fight, until you find the appriate strategy.
definately one of the BEST co-op games ever.
I am about halfway through it on Normal solo (ok a little less, I am on 3-3). I have been busy so I haven't gotten to give it much love yet.
Jerry: I skipped amateur but I will go back and play through it for the unlocks.
lyricaldanichan: Yeah the axeman got me several times before I figured out you just had to avoid him. I found climbing up the ladder to the top of the building you start in the easiest way to hang out until the chopper. What's more fun is going back and kicking axeman's ass when you have better gear. ;D
It looks great on the PS3. The control scheme seems like other RE games so it doesn't bother me. I haven't played it much co-op yet, but it seems like that will be awesome. The AI isn't bad. I usually keep her on cover mode and she uses the basic pistol. I end up giving her all the pistol ammo and keep the shotgun and rifle for myself.
you know, I'm more than happy randomly headed up to Ukiah, to have a Re5 marathon run.
i think you'll have plenty of [good/badd/nostaligic] memories has you continue playing the game.
Good hunting! :D
I really, really, REALLY want to play this game.
But I has no PS3. DX
