Yikes, pretty much all of the negatives are things that bug me to no end in shooters (weird aiming, bad feeling weapons, bad enemy reactions, bad camera), and all the positives are stuff I don't care about (cool melee, rolling around on your back, errr....what else?)
Not sounding good to me.

A few things I have done messing around. I ended up meleeing the Untanak with Jake. He has like a quick side dodge so you can sort of circle him, takes forever. I did a knife only run with Chris, so easy, he is a powerhouse without guns.
I have noticed that there are counters, every once and a while an enemy was about to attack and I dont even see it but an open pops up to press attack well I am already attacking so it goes into this counter attack where he grabs the enemies punch and stabs them in the stomach. As Helen I once grabbed a pipe that a zombie was swinging at me and took it from him then hit him with it. There is a bunch of cool shit like that.
I found all three blue emblems and the treasure in Jake's level. Wonder if there are anymore secrets.

Dont forget to use the quick fire the two triggers at the same time, it basically acts as a quick lock on so you will auto face the closest enemy. I know a lot of times you cant see shit but this orients you real fast, same with diving. Dive dive dive.

GOOD GOD THE CAMERA IS WAY TOO CLOSE CANT SEE SHIT CAPTAIN
Other than that, sliding is fun, Jake's boss level with Nemesis is tense because he climbs up on the platforms even if it's a simple pattern of leading him to red barrels.
I mostly just went on knife (Chris) or hand-to-hand (Jake) runs, avoided Leon's level because of the negative impressions here
When I shoot someone in the head, why do I hear glass shattering? LOL

Co-op is a lot of fun. Also, Piers is top tier. laying down + sniper on a waist-high box = unstoppable.
Thanks alot for the link.I burned the demo to dvd using imgburn and it works great.

Just plugged in my USB drive and ran the configuration tool on my 360 to prep it for use. It gave me some sort of message afterwards about it not being up to "specifications" and that its speed could be an issue. My flash drive is an 8GB Sandisk Cruzer. Should I care about that message?

This is all wrong. I really don't like this. I don't feel like I'm in control of anything. RE4 and 5 are all about control-- crowd control, distance control, and pinpoint accuracy. This game just feels like chaos. I feel like I tons of shit is just going down in Chris' scenario. I have no idea what they're even shooting at.
Leon and Jake were both enjoyable...even if minimally interactive...but, damn, Chris' scenario was so bad. So, so bad. The controls are janky, the camera is too close, it's all just crap. Flush it.
i'm really worried that you can melee at any time. RE4 and 5 have a certain flow to them with melee being a cherry on the bullet sundae. This is just...mash RT.

Damn this demo needed difficulty modes, this is so easy. I can only imagine this game when you actually have to pay attention. Its sooo good. Played for about 6 hours already.
Terrible Camera when aiming.
Too dark and the camera doesnt help as it should
The aiming has an epic delay and really clunky
The movements are slow
Too much screen tearing
The enemies at times don't react at all to the shots
Too much hand holding
I didnt like the demo at all.

"hey wanna play jakes scenario?"
"fuck yeah"
"k, let's insert disc 2!"
But seriously this sucks. I'm hoping that it splits SP/MP but I got a feeling that it's not gonna work that way.

I don't know man. There's not really a lot here. I couldn't play all the way to the end of Chris' scenario, but there wasn't really a whole lot to go off of in the other ones, especially Leon's game. That was literally 90 percent cinematic walkthrough punctuated by maybe a minute of combat.
Other than the crappy inventory system and the forced co-op, the main reason RE5 couldn't top 4 was because its level design just wasn't as imaginative. That game had a lot of variety and more than its fair share of watercooler moments. Western developers have really pushed forward in the desire to create watercooler moments but they end up doing so artificially with situations that control the player's experience to an extreme level. Japanese devs like Capcom seem to be copying this. I think what they don't realize is that RE4's watercooler moments - the set pieces that made it, were almost entirely made up of good level design. They tried to control the players' environment, not the players themselves.
I see scant traces of that in this RE6 demo, especially if you're playing co-op, but it's also looking like it'll be overshadowed by Capcom's desire for "cinematic gameplay" to try to be just like western guys.

Freezing on a black screen when I try to launch it from USB. Anyone else having this problem?
DL the demo. Will try tonight.
Eh, 4 was on two discs. I hope it splits the chapters up smartly so you only have to change once if you feel like it.

Much of GAF disliked RE5 (or at least I saw more hate than praise whenever RE5 was brought up)... but it still stands as one of my favorite games this gen. That said, I did play through campaign with my brother rather than having to play with a crippled AI of a partner, or so I've heard. I look forward to trying out the RE6 game to see whether or not it's as bad as some of you guys are saying.

Fantastic analisis and well articulated. The last great and influential action game was RE4 and so far it hasn't been surpassed by anything. Gears and Uncharted have more fine tuned shoot up mechanics but as for scenario design they pale in comparison. That game had the player hooked for 20 hours using the same control and shooting systems yet it retained "freshness" trough out the campaing. That's a collosal achievement not many games across videogame history can match.

Ok, that's a bit much...
To be honest it wasn't bad at all. I played through the game 5 times by myself and the only time where the AI partner frustrated me was during the

i really enjoyed the Leon scenario. the Chris scenario wasn't so bad, and the Jake scenario was good... but yeah... damn this camera. it's something they really need to fix before the final version. it's maddening. there's a lot of good potential here... and the camera is way too constant an annoyance.
fix it capcom. FIX IT.

The feeling of chaos I got from seeing some of the E3 stuff is exactly what kept me interested in this game, although that's obviously not what you mean here. Details like the car alarm going off in Leon's scenario and the fires and smoke in the background during Chris' scenario, not to mention the faster, expanded move set, really contribute to the feel of outbreak and chaos the game is trying evoke. I'm not a classic RE fan though, having only played and enjoyed both 4 and 5, so I can understand why people don't want that.
Like you said, it's a shame the game (or demo at least) has so many problems. As silly as it sounds, the zombies don't seem very responsive and lack personality. The camera jumps around like crazy and never seems to be where it should. Animations are goofy (moving forward while on your back is bizarre). And I still don't know what to think about Capcom moving the release up so far. I'm a little worried they're gonna ship a stinker just to get it out the door.

Wow, these impressions sound terrible. To think they moved the date up on this. Things could improve in time for October hopefully. But I have a feeling it's a little rushed.
Scary thing is that the 360 version is probably the lead platform on this? If this version's in bad shape I shudder to think the shape the PS3 version is in...

Maybe I am kind of a perv, but I was too distracted by Helena's fine booty. I think it was a good game.
I'll try it again as a different character.

fantastic demo. looks great, plays great, controls great.
ustanak design is nice with the mechanical touches, same with the outside location (going by earlier trailers).
some of it might be percieved as bland and uninspiring though, such as the tall oaks corridors, but there is only so much one can do with that. personally didn't dislike it.
screen tearing was noticeable, but not bothersome at all.
ultimately it's just a very small fraction of an unfinished game, we haven't seen close to everything. corridors be damned, this game will hopefully show some brilliant stuff in the final product. don't see how this is any worse than call of duty, halo, gears, etc. that's subjective, so no flaming, please.

I hope you don't hate screen tearing too much because at E3 nearly every 360 game on display had it in spades!
You can play it for free. Just wait until the official demo release. This is a bonus for people who bought DD.

Then once you've unzipped it, have a usb stick formatted by your xbox 360 in "Storage" settings to give space for the demo, put the demo files labelled as "Content" folder now on to your usb through Horizon. Then usb into 360, voila! Sounds complicated, but once you do it, you'll get it.

I'm having trouble burning the Demo. I've tried ImgBurn and Windows stock burning program. Does the disc label need to be anything specific? I've gotten RE6 Demo to show up in my list of games, but it won't start. It gives me a disc read error, basically.
I'm using DVD+R, if that makes a difference.

it might be 'bizarre', but most importantly.. fun. isn't that what matters?
people didn't want pure tank controls, now complain about this..
variation is good. sure, sometimes it can destroy too.
less is more they say, but no one is forcing you to use it.

Was I just playing the Jake scenario entirely wrong? It felt like it was asking for more reactionary controls than the game allowed.
Wow when I pressed that LB button... I felt fucking insulted.
Not only do they have the "go here" icon turned on in the default options, no, they dedicated a whole button for a "GO HERE; GO HERE; HHEEERREEE; GOOO HEREEE" screen. Jesus christ. And all that while the game looks super linear.
That button, that button is the pure essence of focus group testing bullshit.
Edit: Oh, and the auto running is simply annoying. It makes sense during the action scenes, but during the normal, slower scenes it bugs the hell out of me (let alone ruin the atmosphere). Not even Dead Space 3 made the jump to have Issac on auto run.

Well in RE4 and RE5 Leon and Chris only walked when you pushed the left ministick. Now they're always running like if you were holding down the A button in RE4/RE5.

ohhh gotcha. is it analog, like walking can be done by lightly pushing the stick? i didn't really even think of it when i played

When I formatted it through the 360's storage tool, it created an Xbox360 folder and filled it with a bunch of "Data" files. I had no space to put the Content folder onto it.
Edit: Nevermind me... Didn't read between the lines about that Horizon program. What tab/option should I do it under?
Are you creating the Content\0000000000000000 folders? Also make sure Content doesn't become the root folder, there should be a prompt about it when you're about to start the burn.
