Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
My friend did the same. I played it.Originally posted by Translucid View Post
It's Resident Evil 4 with better graphics.
Not to say this is bad (per se) because I loved RE4 but the reason I loved it so much was because it was fundamentally different from the SAME **** formula of the former games and it roots in my mind thoughts of RE6 and RE7 following in the same formula (Malibu Stacey NEW HAT).
First off, there was more variation in enemy models than I thought. Early screenshots showed the same three stereotypical raggedy ass african farmer models but apparently this town has government workers and immigrants or something because there were white and middle eastern looking enemies as well.
I can't comment on any other feature because all you have to do is seriously think of Resident Evil 4 in a new locale but I will say that the "co-op" gameplay is a fun new addition (Whats-her-name actually has decent AI). The levels are also larger and while it's still linear in design there are more paths and areas to take to get the same location. The graphics are pretty good compared to current games but the animations are wonky. Since Capcom doesn't like ragdoll or whatever, they included the same pre-animated death throes and it looks really hokey when you shoot someone in the head that's lying on the ground and they do a BACKFLIP. I still hate the controls but I like the animation of bending down and picking up items. It's a dumb feature to most people, but it's a minor detail that I always notice in games. More games like Far Cry 2 and stuff are focusing on the small detials of reaching your arm out to grab whatever is lying on the deck.
This gets the Marcus seal of approval (I need to make one of these some day). I was hoping for more INNOVASHUN but the novelty of killing crazed spaniards is still fresh in killing crazed black guys.
EDIT: Hehe, context sensitive actions. Kicking people down stairs.Last edited by marcus; 12-05-2008, 12:53 PM.

Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
My problem with animated hit effects is that they end up looking the same and detract from the atmosphere. It's unfortunate that most devs look at ragdoll as middleware and just slap it onto their engines but some devs modify it so that it doesn't produce ridiculous and unrealistic animations. Halo uses a modified ragdoll for bodies and animations for damage. STALKER and MGS4 also use a modified ragdoll physics and those look great. Now look at Fallout 3 or Titans Quest. Blech.Originally posted by Bigfoot View Post
Now the Euphoria engine is where it's at. It still produced funny ragdoll physics on occasion but for the most part characters reacted very realistically to it.Comment

Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
I tried following the instructions HERE: http://www.planetxbox360.com/article_5284/ on how to set up a japanese account, but the page they link to in order to create a japanese hotmail account doesnt let me select japan as a country.
HELP.

Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
click "sign up" on the left side (make sure you're not actually logged in)
click "no, let me make a hotmail account"
???
profit.
edit: oh apparently you can also download this demo from other sources and burn it to a cd. Unmodded xbox will still play demos. go figure.
edit again:
HUP
download all 5 parts, extract. burn "content" folder to CD (doesn't even have to be a DVD). it'll show up as "mixed media," go to your demos and it will be at the bottom I guess? well have fun. I HOPE WE DUN GET IN TRUBBLE WITH M$.Last edited by Translucid; 12-05-2008, 06:08 PM.Comment

Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
I forgot to mention that the inventory is fantastic. They decided to follow games like STALKER and Dead Space where it doesn't pause when you go through your inventory. They've also boxed it in a little corner so it's no longer PRESS START *WAIT* SELECT ITEM *WAIT* PRESS START AGAIN *WAIT* Basically, everything you can carry is limited to what's on Chris' back and belt pouches.Comment

Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
Or games like Resident Evil: Outbreak.They decided to follow games like STALKER and Dead Space where it doesn't pause when you go through your inventory.
So are the enemies as slow to react as they appear in videos? Because I've been checking them out on GT and there's several times the zombies or gonads or whatever are just standing right next to Chris or Sheva doing nothing.
And I'm guessing if I played RE4 I'd know why they turn into puddles of goo when they die and sprout tentacles when they get headshot, right?Last edited by DarkwingChuck; 12-05-2008, 08:29 PM.I want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Morty!Comment

Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
There isn't any "reload weapon" button.
I really don't know why I should have to go to the inventory to reload.Comment

Re: RE5 demo coming to 360!
I tried to. I've wanted to since I first ever heard of it. Heck, I played Outbreak and liked it so obviously I'm an RE fan. But I have no GC or Wii, rented it on PS2 (which is more or less dead now anyway) but couldn't aim worth half a dang.Wait, you didn't play RE4?
You really should play RE4.
