Are there any differences between this and the Japanese demo I've had on CD for like 3 weeks, cos I only have my poor lil 20GB HDD and my internets are so slow :(

If it's the same as the Japanese demo, I found it pretty meh.

I'm back onto silver just now so I'll probably need to download and burn to a DVD or hear what you guys have to say.

I'm not a fan of the forced AI Co-Op, that's main my beef.

That and the lack of ability for Capcom to understand walking whilst shooting is not some sort of massive ridiculous feature impossible to do - Dead Space says hi. They got away with it before, now it's just starting to get lazy, and no, not being able to walk is not a "feature" of the RE series that makes it better, so don't play that one on me :p

I guess it depends what you thought of RE4, I loved RE4.

I know RE started out survival horror and has somewhat just turned into an action game, but I really don't mind, personally.

I've never been real into Resident Evil all that much. My fiancee loves the game. I think it's the movement style that really bothers me. I believe I will download this later today after my FEAR 2 demo finishes.

Silver accounts and still download free demos, right?

I loved RE4.

But this is a new generation and new game - Time for Capcom to step it up and fix silly things like not being able to move whilst aiming, and make this more than "RE 4 HD".

The Co-Op is a fairly big addition, so my beef with it is merely personal. I just always loved RE as a SP experience, I don't want to be forced to play along with some "crappy" AI I need to keep saving and micro managing inventory systems with. Co-Op is best played with friends, so it's good to have it, but I wish Capcom could of done it in some other way such as a separate co-op campaign.

Arrrgghh!!! What a time for my 360 to die! I will have to wait until it's fixed before I get to have a go at the demo. Does anyone know if the demo's available for the PS3 (fingers crossed)

AB instead of playing with the "useless" AI, why don't you play with a friend? :p

I did for an hour or two this afternoon.

Much more fun (Y) but I still see RE as a SP franchise ;)

I'm happy it's going co-op tbh, there has been plenty of SP RE games now, it's time to do something new with the franchise :yes: (albeit they are copying/pasting the formula that worked well with RE4)

But bloody everything is "going co-op" nowadays.

I don't mind when they add co-op campaigns as separate editions, but before you know it most of the good SP game experiences are going to be mish-mashed into co-op :p I know I'm still going to enjoy RE5, so I'll wait and see what the final game is like with AI.

I just wish Silent Hill wasn't tanking as badly as it now is, what a POS SH5 was - NEVER hand Japanese style horror franchises to American/Western devs.
