I was playing the demo, and all I can say is that the real time item switching is a huge change in RE mechanics. Yes, the complete halt as you picked a weapon was not realistic, but it's been that way forever. The partner is pretty much useless, getting in the way and I wish you had a third command like "defend" instead of "come here" and "attack" When your partner revives you, or you have to revive them, it completely puts a stop to the action. How this is better than leon being knocked to the ground like before is beyond me. The gameplay is not bad, but the center of focus when you aim seems to be more to the right of the screen than the center like in RE4. I do LOVE the instant knife. Graphically it's not very good, and leons arms are stupidly big. Items have a giant halo around them so they are not missed, which is a bit too much hand holding for me. The regular occasional twinkle is fine, no need for a three foot tall swirling neon column... Anyways, it seems like a very solid game so far, just getting use to the 360 controller (it seems a bit more mushy than the gc one) is a minor inconvenience.
the best ver. of RE4 was on the Wii - no going back. That said, having played the original on the GC I say that the XBOX version comes close to the feeling. I liked the co-op with an actual person but I don't get it why the screen is split in such a manner, what a waster. The neon column you refer to is just like RE4, and u can pick stuff up from a broad radius, very handy when in the middle of the sex.
I thought the same when I was browsing Borman's screenshots. But everyone I know has said it looks awesome, so... I've yet to see it in motion personally as my 360 is currently with M$.
My screenshots are washed out, with a crappy component cable Looks much better via HDMI. I would pick up a new set of component cables, but since Im going to London and all, I figured Id put it off just a tad longer
You people horrify yet amuse me. Oh yeah, your partner has fuckin PANTS on. PANTS. Man, I was so disappointed.
Yeah they could have given us Jill Valentine instead of killing her, she always had nice skirts... I guess pants in this case were introduced to prevent mosquito bites on the characters who knows??? Given the temperature in Africa we'll probably get a DLC with Chris Redfield in shorts with a "Yo Bitch get out of the way" Tshirt that'd be fabulous... Demo is great, but really difficult or I'm really getting old... Seems worse in online co-op than single player... 2 characters in single player is a pain, I'd rather have Sackboy as my wing than clumsy Sheva... Just have to wait march now...
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: That would fit the game perfectly, as long as your only playing single player:icon_bigg
Tried to play the demo today, got to a "Now Loading" screen waited a couple of min. got pissed of at the loading time and tried to quit the game and the bastard hanged and I had to reboot the PS3. =/
lol. i used up almost all my ammo trying to take out the chainsaw guy in the second demo level. so after i killed him i noticed that sheva had about 60+ machinegun rounds on her still...
K, had a chance to grab the game for a while here at the office - and boy DO CONTROLS SUCK ASS! I mean, that dual analog control stick can be hell or heaven. I can understand that it may be very, very proficent in the long run, but it surely DOESN'T help you at the start. And also, the "fire with both shoulder button pressing" thing I didnt understand...please Capcom, PLEASE change this. NOW.
item switching was already implemented in re0 and the outbreak games in one way or another so its not that new at all the instant knife was introduced in re4 as well and was also used in re deadly silence and its not leon but chris whois the main character
