Let's get some perspective. Who liked the Resident Evil 5 demo?

Come on now, no negativity please. This thread is purely for those that want to play the game.

Anyone liked the look of Resi 5? I think the graphics are a lot crisper and the control system is a nice fit. It's the same as Resi 4's from what I can remember and the new close encounter combat is awesome. I love the idea of your patner being in trouble and you can go and help him/her. While the Executioner from the execution stage looks and moves a lot like Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2 he looked bad ass. I thought the AI was really good too. Sheva didn't wander in front of my shots as has happened to me before on Elder Scrolls 4. The ammo was in plentyful supply too. I'm really looking forward to taking the weekend off to tackle this. Me and my friend have been frothing at the mouth since we beat Resi 4.

Also, I think the fact that no zombies are in the game is a great new thing. Resident Evil is moving forward, sure it's best known for zombies but why can't they try something new? Anyone who played Resi 4 can surely recall looking at El Gigante and going 'Gulp' rather than 'I wish that was a zombie.' Besides, with the new aiming system so you know how easy it would be to drop a zombie?

All in all, while it probably won't win GOTY (Uncharted 2/GOW3 FTW!) it looks to be an awesome game and I'm sure I'll have many sleepless nights trying to beat that last boss.

Anyone else liked it?

lol. Speaking of the X button, I keep forgetting that it's used for 'Run' so I was hobbling round most of the levels before I remembered. Because 'Square' was used for run on 4 wasn't it?

I think combining the ammo and weapon is'nt great when your being surrounded by them things, unless I missed something?

Thanks, I did say “unless I missed something”. Ive played this game a few times more and its not actually as bad as it looks.

OK, so just had a bit of a replay of the demo. Anyone manage to drop that Axe guy yet? We (Being me and Sheva) can nearly beat him but he always seems to keep coming back at me.

Doesn't he want to die?

I havent had any luck in taking that sucka out either. He is really tough and can sustain alot of damage apparently, haha. He reminds me of that dude from the Silent Hill games….the watchman. Well I think that is the name, dont flame me for being wrong here, haha.

You're not thinking of Pyramid Head are you? From SH2?

Yeah, I lured him next to an explosive barrel, that took him down to one knee. Constantly knee-capping him with shotgun blasts. Nothing! He even ate a incendary grenade and he didn't drop!

Yeah the pyramid head guy. He is also in Silent Hill Homecoming too. Only reason I know is bc I have that game for the PS3, haha.

We will probably get much stronger weapons in the actual game once it is released. I cant wait. Im loving the demo so far. It will be wicked awesome having online co-op. Thats just brilliant to add in a RE game, imo.

Really? How is the new Silent Hill? I've heard bad things.

Yeah, we'll probably get a merchant to upgrade our guns too. I wonder how that'll work? Do you upgrade your partners or do they do it themselves?

Honestly I enjoyed it. Though I LOVE RE and Silent Hill games. I think they are the best next to Zelda and Final Fantasy games. though this silent hill is rather short in my opinion and very very easy, haha.

I am not sure about the upgrades or how it will all work out. Though, I am sure it will all work out just fine and the actual gameplay will be better. I've seen many demos be bad, but the game would be improved and better.

I imagine a demo must be coming soon. Did have to admit, wasn't too keen on the idea of a knife. What happened to flimsy ass weapons? lol

Thing is, when you're holding a knife, you really wouldn't try to move forward with it. I only used the knife as a close quaters combat weapon, even then I only slashed them and hit them with a punch.

Anyone love the fact that moveable scenery was back in? I absolutley loved that part on RE4 where you had to block off the windows. It got so tense when you started to get over run. I still remember running upstairs and tossing down a grenade to keep them company

More stuff like that please Capcom!
