Resident Evil 5

Well the demo for RE 5 is out in Japan, and the 360 has some workaround that makes it pretty easy to actually get the demo loaded on your console. The game already has English dialogue and stuff so really it isn't that bad.

But this game so far... from the two level demo is pretty awesome. I played with Magus, and it was a blast with each encounter seemingly very tense (chainsaw dude just won't die and we have yet to kill axe man).

The co-op play is pretty sweet with ways to save your partner, ways to assist during the level and share merchandise.

It's definitely nerve-wrecking, without having substantial amounts of ammo, but's definitely got the whole "edge of your seat action" thing going on.

PROTIP: Aim for the head and punch, kick, or punch. It'll save your life, and your ammo.

I'll be downloading it when I get home. Sounds fun.

Just for the second record, the demo is officially on the XBL marketplace so no worries about not being able to play co-op on line.

Yep, just downloaded it. Waiting for Nighthawk to come home so we can play together.

I'm really glad my 360's back.

BTW, why isn't this on PSN? Will it ever be?

I believe Microsoft has the demo exclusive for one week.

What is everyone's impressions so far?

Fyacin · 01-26-2009, 04:31 PM

Going to have to download this today I think.

DeathsHand · 01-26-2009, 07:29 PM

Going to have to download this whenever Silver members can download it...

Edit: Go GTA4's free month of XBL Gold...

Wow... The new control schemes with the added ability to strafe kind of sort of really suck.
Type A (classic RE4) is much less disorienting...

The Duggler · 01-27-2009, 08:03 AM

You can strafe!! This is amazing!

Nighthawk · 01-27-2009, 03:44 PM

Bube downloaded it, but we didn't get a chance to play yet. The co-op mode sounds great, can't wait to play.

I liked the strafe mode. Not sure why so many people have been hating on it.

BlueFire · 01-29-2009, 06:27 PM

I, too, enjoy strafing.

I also can't wait for this game.

On another note, this game seems to be more gruesome than RE4.

BreakABone · 02-02-2009, 11:12 AM

The demo is now out on PSN and I believe Xbox Live Silver.

Bube · 02-03-2009, 11:30 AM

I played the demo for about 10 minutes, got bored with the mindless shooting. And since I played RE4 (which I thought had a lot of mindless shooting parts as well) on the Wii, I hated the control.

I was excited about the game, but the demo actually made me realize how much I didn't want it.
