Mindblowing fact
Ayane has the most polygons of any videogame character on either PS3 or 360 at 106k.

Okay so I just bought my Ps3 copy at local Gamestop and the casher was TOTALLY UNAWARE about the pre-order DLC code. He checked his huge stack of pre-order DLC voucher, any email related to pre-order stuff in his system and we checked the receipts too but nothing came out of this.
What a total fuck-up.

Wow, really? Is there a particular costume?

I had the same issue. My Gamestop had no clue. After doing a bit of online research, I found some people were getting codes, but only after making enough noise to the right Gamestop people. Others were told no pre-order DLC exists for the game. I just returned my copy and bought the game on PSN.
It's night and day. Vanilla NG3 was a total mess: funky lock-on that targets dead enemies; horrible, imprecise inputs. RE has massively improved the lock-on, and inputs now feel almost as tight as they did in previous games. RE essentially plays like NG2 at this point, although the soft lock-on is still off about 5% of the time compared to that game. In practise it's not a problem - the game gets it right when it matters - but you'll be surprised now and then in a crowd of enemies at moderate distance. So far, it's never been an issue at close quarters.
Honestly, playing RE is like listening to a cover band try to recreate music you know and love. But where NG3 was almost unrecognizable, RE retains the essenial elements of the original, and delivers something fans can enjoy. It's still a cover, and obviously so, but it's a great cover.

For those who have played them extensively enough, is the PS3/360 version better than the Wii U?

Can you at the very least buy those costumes o nthe PSN store?
And yeah, I watched Seik playing the Wii version and it seemed pretty damn fun. I remember I had to beat 3 dangerous guys who does some kind of black magic in the first Ayane level for him because he just couldn't do it. Can't remember the chapter, but I do remember it was pretty damn tough. I did it though
If you get the game off PSN by 4/16 those costumes are included with the game.

I see. So basically all I have to do is to connect on PSN tonight and download them? Sounds good enough to me.
I think you have to actually digitally purchase the game.
The pre-order costumes were handled incredibly poorly in the U.S.

As much as I want those costumes, I'd rather keep my physical copy.
The game's compatible with the Pro Controller. If you already have it on Wii U, for the price of the game on PS3/360 you can get that controller to play the game...and other games.
Unless the "fuck" was at the Pro Controller?
I wanted to finish few chapters today, but before that I wanted to try clan battles and co-op for a short time, that "short" time became 3 hours ! XD
Co-op is really good and there's no lag, you can use any character you want, I used unknown ninja to upgrade his skills and weapons
Clan battle was fun to spend sometime, but don't expect much from it.
I'm near the end, maybe I'll finish it today, then I'll start working on challenges and collecting golden scarabs.

By the way, you guys should probably make sure to post about freezing or any other severe bug that occurs in-game. Warn others if it's error prone. I ended up selling my Wii U version because of those - some of them were obviously issues with the game's coding itself and not the console..

My game froze twice each time it was loading something. It was before I installed, no freezes after.
Mindblowing, indeed. Team Ninja really like their girls, even without their *ahem* "father".
Has anyone had their preorder code from GAME yet?
Or you can do what I did, and sell your Wii U copy for the same price as a 360 copy.
A much better plan.

I dunno if i'm going to get this. Probably when it's waaaaay cheaper.
Cutscene model, in-game model, and no LODs! And... this is their third time to release the game!?
Didn't have problems with the demo tho.

Ok so I finished London yesterday and advanced a bit in the desert level right after. Holy shit is this game hard, but really satisfying at the same time. I enjoy it quite a bit, but I gotta say, that input lag is killing me!!! Strong attacks simply won't register. Right after a combo it can takes up to a second before I can move Ryu again. It's really weird because this isn't happening all the time. It's jsut fine for the most part. But when it starts fucking up, you end up losing a good chunk of your health bar because all those enemies are stomping each others on who's gonna beat your ass right??
Other than that, the framerate is solid, the graphics are alright and the gameplay is surprisingly good!
Oh, and that first test of valor.

Took me like 5 or 6 tries to beat those 3 waves....and then I realized I had to fight that boss. Fuck that....
It looks like there's an infinite Karma glitch in this game. I've tried it on the PS3 demo and it worked.

oh shit. seems I'll be picking up the game today then ! hahaha
You have to beat the game.
Momiji unlocks after the chapter involving her. Ayane unlocks after her first chapter.
Has anybody calculated how many polygons make up Ayane's huge tits?
This is surely the most salient question.
Ok serious question, why is the demo so damn difficult?
I am playing the Ayane mission and you end up in an arena where they pit you against a ton of enemies, which ends with a fight against three mages firing tron magic at you. Its unrelenting.

Hilariously, that section is much easier in the main game. No idea why they made it harder in the demo.
Huh weird.
Also ust played the Ryu desert mission and encountered some bad framerate issues.
I think I will pass on this one.

Blew my mind.
I just sat here looking over the source for the last 20 minutes when I should be getting work done.
When an enemy does an attack where they're glowing red, during or shortly after the attack animation finishes, hit the enemy with a heavy attack.
Although I don't think it needs to be heavy...pretty sure I've activated it with light attacks.
That seems pretty simple.
I was busting them out left and right with Ayane, but rarely with Ryu; I guess I didn't notice them glowing red.
What's the deal with it chaining across multiple sets of enemies?
As near as I can figure, once you begin, any attack that lands on an opponent near you will be an SOB move. That's just what it seemed like to me. I never really figured it out.
Thanks for the info.
You can chain more attacks if your weapon is level 2 or 3.

This game seems way harder than the previous ones. But mainly because of all the changes to the game mechanics. No more recovery items, or essence, or using essence to charge the ultimate technique and so on.
