Resident Evil 5 Demo

TheSixthAxis: "Marked as a rumour until we get a proper translation, but today's Famitsu magazine says something about a demo for Resident Evil 5, with co-op, on the 5th of December. This is presumably only a Japanese demo, and we're not sure whether it's for the PS3 or the 360, or both."

Ill just have to go on my Japan account and download it if it aint released on the same day in the US.

mikeslemonade6381d ago (Edited 6381d ago )

Yep with PS3 we can get the demo easily. I don't think for 360 you can just create japanese account for free and get the demo. This is a huge suprise. It comes out so soon. If I was a RE fan I'd be going nuts. I still have my doubts on RE5.

Kleptic6381d ago (Edited 6381d ago )

you can create a japanese account on XBL...its just that MS will delete your gamerscore without warning, plaster 'cheater' across your sweet new avatar, spit in your food before serving it, and kill your dog...all without giving you a reason as to why...

har har...its a joke people, calm down... you have to admit though; I am extremely funny...

jtucker786381d ago (Edited 6381d ago )

mikeslemonade - I have my concerns too.

I really enjoyed RE4 (my favourite last generation game) but it was starting to head more action and less scares.
And RE5 looks to carry on that tradition. All the footage I've seen have you running around in broad daylight fending off tons of Zombies/Las Plagas/Whatever.

I prefer less baddies, more creeping along in the dark knowing that something is hiding in the shadows waiting to give you a scare, but not knowing when.

I guess we'll just have to see. I'm not as excited for it as I was when it was first announced and RE4 was still fresh in my head.

Did you play Dead Space? That was excellent! IMO

mariusmal6381d ago

i agree with you in a sense. yes it's true that resi games are going for a more action aproach. but then again, no resi game made me jump from a good scare and i played all.
and yes dead space is a great great game. i'm on my second play :D

Though its a bit early for a demo ?? game is still 3 months away

Fishy Fingers6381d ago (Edited 6381d ago )

Well come December 5th, the game will only be just over 2 months away, plus they'll probably give us the same section that they've been using at the shows for months.

Hope this comes good, be nice to get an early taste. Thank god for my Japanese PSN account :)

Kleptic6381d ago (Edited 6381d ago )

^^agreed...came in real handy for the Siren demo last summer...and I bet it will be equally good for FFXIII at some point in 2009 as well...

godmoney6381d ago

I bet that if they will bring it to the U.S. you would have to buy an episode of Qore or something :)

Bigbangbing6381d ago

!!! OMG !!!

Behold the japanese accounts !!!

die_fiend6381d ago

Japan only would suck! Y don't they let the people who are gonna buy the majority of copies play it?

Kleptic6381d ago (Edited 6381d ago )

you can make a japanese PSN account in 5 minutes...problem solved, save the actual reading the japanese (although most japanese games, especially games that are also going to go to western territories, have a good bit of English already in them, as a lot of phrases have no true Japanese form anyway...Siren was a good example, the japanese demo was easily playable by any non japanese speaking person)...

that is assuming this is a network demo, and not a disc or something offered by famitsu...as far as XBL users...you're screwed...sorry...

hopefully this is true, and it is a network demo...i'll be all over it...

NMC20076381d ago

Capcom is located in Japan? I know there is one in America but for now it seems they aren't giving the US jack **** for now.

Anyway, I will have the demo either way, I dunno why these companies even do this kind of thing, they know that people will get it if they want it and if they don't know how to they will easily find out.

die_fiend6381d ago

As for XBL users we're screwed? We can just get a Japanese account 2 so dunno how ur workin that out...

"Because Capcom is located in Japan?" What's that got to do with anything? If they're putting it on LIVE and PSN then why can't they do it everywhere? Japan's a small market, release it to the rest of us

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker117d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92117d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr117d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992117d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani117d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

LucasRuinedChildhood117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730117d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave117d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde117d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88117d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb117d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh117d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
