What did you guys think of the RE6 demo?

Personally, the only thing I didn't like was that it was too dark, and no flashlight meant zombies were easy to miss, which led to some cheap loss of life. Also, health restoratives only heal for 1 health bar?

The gunplay was pretty good, ammo was scarce so I couldn't just blast everything, and the new melee was good, albeit a bit clunky. All in all, I am looking forward to the game, though I still have 2 other sections of the demo to go through.

What about you guys?

I thought it was pretty horrible.

Leon's section was the better out of the 3, but it was too dark which didn't lead to amazing atmosphere it just lead to me not being able to see **** and the controls weren't amazing. Also combat has been reduced to a brawler. Why use my automatic pistol when I can just kick everything in the head? This too was somewhat clunky though.

Chris's section was plain awful. It basically took a western military TPS and zoomed the camera in too close to the person back causing camera problems during intense gun fights (which is somewhat weird when you're fighting zombies). The cover system was horrible. You stick to walls while aiming, and then to crouch below something you have to aim press a button and continue to aim to remained crouched in cover. It just wasn't fun. Plus the whole thing was just a grey dump.

Jake's section was basically just Chris's section in a somewhat darker setting. I guess they're going for a DmC type character with Jake. Anyway cover system was horrible (like in chris's), and you had these lizard things that knock you down with invisible missiles. It just wasn't fun. The zoomed in camera got me disoriented most of the time, and controls were bad. I'm passing on this game.

i hate the controls, especially the crappy cover system

I've played Chris and Jake's sections and although they have made it full on shooting it still strangely feels like a resident evil game,I think.I can certainly see why so many people are upset by the direction they are going but if the game has a meaty campaign I will enjoy it for what it is rather than what it isn't,which is a classic survival horror game.

I loved it, looking forward to picking it up on release day. I'm sick of all these FPS games, what ths gen is lacking is more survival horror games.Sk8ter_213

And to my mind, it STILL is...

... This game is certainly not Survival Horror, not in the least. That said, once it drops in price to under $15 with all DLC unlocked, I'll buy it and play it like i did with RE5. I don't care at all for where this series has gone but it won't stop me from enjoying what it is. I just wouldn't pay NEAR day-1 price, not by a longshot. This game is right up there with ORC; I'll play it after all the hype and knee-jerk purchasers have traded their copy in, and the Gold Edition drops to under $15.

the stupid game doesn't really tell you how to cover, i had to figure this out on my own during a break of zombies trying to eat me alive, so apparently you need to hold the aim button (L1) near a wall or ledge or whatever you think you can cover behind, then press X, then to stay in cover you have to keep holding onto L1, if you wanna aim with your gun while in cover, you need to use your right analog stick, its really stupid and not gonna be helpful much during an ambush trying to fiddle around with the controls

Didn't make me want to buy the game.

Felt the same as previous versions, except for RE:ORC, which I found quite fun for multiplayer.

i hope that was it that you liked about it

Capcom demos are usually atrocious.

Enjoyed it. Enjoy even more the whiners who constantly butthurt over the direction the franchise is going.ispeakfact

It can be amusing at times, people yammering away about something they have very little, to no control over. The series is going the way it's going because the genre has been a commercial flop of late... My question is often "Well, where were you to buy the other Survival Horror games when they were coming out? If you had spent money back then, there would be a genre today."

Lots and lots of genres have come and gone, or changed into something barely resembling themselves. Point-And Click, text-based adventures, Hell, even Platformer games aren't what they used to be with the exception of Mario on a handheld. When's the last time we got a "real" Metroid game? Gawd knows, the last one wasn't what I started the series with. And honestly, fans of the Survival Horror genre have only themselves to blame for the demise of the genre as it stood.

That's why I try to support things I enjoy, like the RE movies. I do, infact, ENJOY those trashy action pics. The new one is a lot of fun. Is it art? Hell no. But are they fun?

Yep.

I would rather that the series stayed the course, most certainly. But since it's "evolving" like the viruses it centers around, I will dig on what I do, and enjoy it for what it is.

The glass is still half-full, in my book. At least we get to continue to enjoy the stories and characters some of us have been involved with for nearly 20 years.

:shock:

Wow. Has it been that long??? How time FLIES...

I liked it a lot more than I expected to. In my opinion the majority of it controlled and played well, the effects were really well done, and I think it has the capability to deliver an enjoyable, thrilling experience. Leon's campaign is of particular interest just because I think it has more potential to actually deliver somewhat on the horror front, but I found all three fun in their own right. Chris' was the weakest but that nasty towering behemoth was a saving grace. Oh, and finally, these badasses and super soldiers can move while shooting! Switching off the god awful reticle and going back to laser sights was a blessing, too.

It definitely had it's share of faults and eccentricities that I hope have been ironed out if possible, primarily the wonky cover mechanics. Wasn't wild about the way the character leaps over bodies on the ground or how much effort you have to put out to accurately stomp an enemies head when it's been downed either.

All said and done, I'm getting it and hoping for the best.

I quite liked it actually, but I have doubt whether it will be a first day purchase or whether I will wait till the price drops. We'll see.

For now I only played Leon's part. I agree with people that the camera seems to close. And is it me, but doesn't it seem the graphics is a step back from RE5? I also think the AI character with Leon seems flawed.PSP107

I'm playing RE5 right now, and no i think the graphics are a bit of an improvement along with animations, etc, being a tad better. Only my opinion, I could be dead-wrong. As far as whats-her-name toddling along with Leon, no she's DEFINITELY not as irritating and AI-stupid as Shiva can be. TRUST me.

;)

Partners have been a "thing" in RE games for awhile now ("Zero" being first, I believe), and I'm really not into having an AI partner, even less enchanted with having a co-op partner... I dunno, not gonna harp all over it there seems to be enough negativity without my adding to it all. Again, I'm going to keep looking at this glass as "Half-Full", and not be so critical of what the game isn't as apposed to being positive about what it actually IS.

I thought it was decent I'm really looking forward to playing Sherry and Jake's part of the storyline since I thought it seemed the most interesting out of the 3. I just thought Chris's storyline was awful it just seems like a generic militaryshooter.

It's ok....I'm on the fence as to whether I'm gonna buy it on it's release or wait until theirs a price drop....

Enjoyed it. Enjoy even more the whiners who constantly butthurt over the direction the franchise is going.ispeakfact

I think people who have started with the series remember it for being a true survival horror experience. Now it's just saturated with action and non-zombies? I would hope that people not support these games if they were not pleased with the direction the series is taking. I don't have a problem with companies trying new things but I do have a problem when they think sales are the definitive indication of success. I won't support ORC and neither support this game.

they should have named it something different, because there is nothing resident evil about this piece of cow dung....if i wanted to play gears of war i'll fire up my xbox360, well if it was working anyway.
