Alright I burned the demo (and hooked up my 360 that has not been on in probably like half a year) and here are some impressions from someone who thinks Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest games ever made and that the rest of the REs range from fine to great games.
Holy shit - what the fuck?
Leon:
Alright so I am walking in super narrow corridors for like 15 minutes... with no threat of enemies... really... nothing going on. Also some unskippable in-engine cutscenes popping up - the old fashioned replay killer in the flesh again.
Lots of screen tearing. This game also has the worst in-game menu ever created and you can't pause the game in single player (which iirc you could in RE5). Firing in this game is awkward due to the fact that the laser sight and the crosshairs are constantly out of sync, they need to make one of them standard in the retail release at the very least. The slide is neat.
Chris:
Man this game performs pretty bad, I hope this is a really old build. The combat in this game is really bog standard now and the scenario in the demo was kind of dull. I still stand by my fact that Shinji Mikami is probably the only person who has made third person shooters that works on a controller. This game is no RE4/Vanquish. Scenario ends with a pretty limp "hold your ground scenario".
Jake:
Starts by running at the screen, very awkward. Then a boss fight commences that seems like it would be fine for a first boss I guess (or like, a miniboss). Nothing to write home about.
Impressions are super negative, maybe I would have had a better time on a PC version, I don't know. This does not feel like a successor to RE4, or even RE5.
Edit: Also in general I don't think the game looks that hot (especially the animations), maybe it was because the last RE I played was RE5 on a PC?
