I checked out the demo for RE5 on my friends 360, and it plays just like RE4. Only difference I notice is with the graphics and story (obviously). When you shoot the enemy they react the same exact way as they did in RE4. Also theres absolutely nothing scary about this game at all, it takes place outdoors (which I don't mind) but the game is so bright, horror games are supposed to be dark and gloomy. I wanna know what took capcom so long to release this game, RE 5 was one of the first AAA title announce for the ps3 and 360 before either system could come out. And now that we have a chance to play it, its just like the previous.

Well I personally thought the demo was good. I only played the first stage so who knows if the other levels will be as bright but personally I though it looked darn good and cannot wait to get the PS3 version.

Maybe you should learn how to make a better answer,if you disagree with his post learn to say it.And from what I have heard Resident evil 5 is like Resident evil 4=The scary thanks to the co-op and the lack of the overall creepy feeling.

Then... Isnt that why the back synopsis (demo in this case) is for? or when you buy a book you dont read the synopsis and just buy it? he played the demo and gave his opinion.

I've seen my brother play it and to me it just looks like they replaced Leon with a muscled Chris and the Ganados with black people. I completely forgot about how you can't move when you shoot which I found to be lame.

I hope the rest of the game takes place in darker places cause the level in the demo was during the day outside. I don't think I'll be getting this game as soon as it comes out, I like to wait for the games to get cheaper before I buy them.

I totally agree with the TC. Capcom got lazy, threw a fresh coat of paint on the RE4 engine, and what we're left with is a complete rehash of RE4 with a new story, different characters, not-scary/tense gameplay (basing this on the demo), and pretty graphics. All the animations are identical to RE4, hell...even the sound effects were recycled. Other developers can get away with this sort of thing, but we hardcore RE fans expect more. When RE4 released it was amazing and innovative for it's new over the shoulder view, quick time events, etc. What is so innovative about RE5? Nothing so far....let's hope I'm wrong when the full game releases in a few months.

Capcom is the most polished developer out there.Programming (hopefully) good AI,good cutsecenes with cheesy dialog and a lot of (OH MA GAWD RASHIST) black zombies.

the game i believe is based in africa...so of course its going to be bright....and dont judge the whole game by a demo, theres still a month so they can change some things, and they stuck to the RE4 design cause its a winner...they are only playing it safe...and just cause the first level isn't scary doesnt mean the rest of the game wont be...

Everyone has their own point of view. Capcom's Resident Evil 5 follows where the story left off, Chris is currently a BSAA Founding member, the BSAA organization assigned him to the African branch for the obvious reasons (hunt B.O.W.S). Although it is very weird how it is stated that he is "assigned" even though his a 'founding' member of the BSAA. Regardless, to people that dont pay attention and persistantly ask repetitve yet blunt obvious questions as they are listed on resident evil wiki's etc. Basically, we're playing from Chris's point of view in Resident Evil 5 which is a sequel to Resident Evil: Degeneration or in other words, just a sequel and tells the story from Chris's point to answer some of the people's questions. We're not playing with zombies like Raccoon city because, well lets say 'terrorists' in Africa got hold of the "Las Plagus" virus which you know the effect, same goes for RE4 which was where the virus first originated. People in raccoon city got infect by the so-called t-virus which, kinda pointless to use to the new terrorists I believe. Capcom isn't well known for their scary game's I believe, take the old resident evil releases, just the theme and settings are scary. Dead Space is a different story though, too damn scary. Bottomline, they're not focusing on making this extremely scary, for example, during scenes where Chris is looking for an object in first person view, a zombie will pop outta a cabinet. Not all missions are outdoor daylight.

You are right about the first bit but I don't agree, well completely don't agree with the line "they stuck to RE4 design cause its a winner" again, my post above. They are not playing it safe, they got their butts sued for black racism I think, thats why they had to put quite a few white zombies to blend in with the black ones.

I agree 100%, Its RE4 with better graphics and co-op, it shouldn't have taken them this long to make the game.

He gave examples of dislikes by a demo. Maybe about 10 minutes of the game. I don't see how such a rash decision can be made about the storyline or types of levels in the game by a demo. Also, whoever doesn't read a whole book just by the back synopsis has missed out on a lot.

So Capcom got sued for racism??? That sounds ridiculous. The Game is in Africa, so it will feature the land's inhabitants, which happen to be?

Africans. I honestly don't see in any way possible how RE5 is promoting racism.

The same was with RE4, with Spanish peoples.

i played it, i thought resident evil 4 was ok but resident evil 5 is great. the graphics are good the gameplay is good way more zombies (virus infected) much more action packed. and co-op online makes great teamwork i'm were not to bothered for it at first but now i'm buying.

I honestly don't mind if RE5 is RE4 with better graphics. I haven'y played RE4 in HELLA long and I'll be glad to have my memory refreshed about why RE4 was such a great game when I get my hands on RE5.

Well my question was. With barely any new innovations to the game, what took them so long to release this game?

It's just a demo. Maybe there will be new stuff in the later levels of the actual game.

Well hopefully its due to attention to detail. I'm not sure some of you understand just how tedious good programming can be. I'm assuming they wanted to release a solid game with smooth gameplay on and offline. Lets take a look at Haze for example, clearly needed to be delayed. Gears 2, many people talking about it being the worst online exp. they've ever had due to crazy lag - I wouldn't know because I despise my refurbished 360. The game is not going to be liked by everyone but maybe you should wait til you get to spend some time with the demo because it pushed me over the fence to a purchase.
