Oh ok, so the Demo coming on September 18th is going to be public but it's a different Demo than the current one fellow GAFfers are talking/playing right now?
Thanks for answering blixa I want to try it out but I'm fine if others play it first since they were asking for it first.

oh shiiiii--- good day indeed.
damn it... does Dragon's Dogma still come with the codes? I need to get the PS3 version anyway.
Just played through the Chris and Jake segments. Only gripe with Chris is that the camera feels a bit too close with his big ass shoulders, but I got used to it. I also really loved the gun recoil and shooting in general. It feels like silk. Overall, playing with Chris is going to appease the part of me that loved RE5 and I am glad it's here. Oh, and holy shit at the giant explosions, lol. Just wow.
Now I am going to love playing with Jake and Sherry. I liked Jake as a character especially right off the bat. He just has that likable personality that you know is going to come off with some really memorable lines. Also really loved the environment here and the giant mutant guy is even more excellent character design. And talk about gorgeous visuals, this part of the demo looked the best. But the game is just great looking period.
All in all you can tell that it is but a drop in the bucket of the content that the full package will have with all of the characters. Only real concern is that I hope the AI is tweaked to be a bit smarter, but on the whole I think this game is going to be an absolute beast for RE fans across the board. It's all here, but with updated production value and gameplay.
Funny that, the game runs smooth as can be for me. Looks and runs very clean.
mastered the controls and tactics yet? for example, sliding into the little vent in the wall (ground level) to get to the other side while being chased -- a nice feature, which will lead to more advanced stuff later on.
& side/forward/back jump whenever the mechanical arm is closing in -- super cool.
rolling to dodge while shooting, crawling etc etc.
i'll say it again; ustanak > nemesis. he feels more threathening, like it's created to relly fuck you up. the design is excellent.

How are you guys all getting the demo? I'd love to give it a shot as well :/
But if need be, I'll wait till September 18.

it's only for those that doesn't jump into the game with the mindset of hating it.
just kidding. there was an account sharing going on, but it's stuck as some haven't de-activated the account from their part yet. check back later.
LOL, nah, I have not mastered all the little nuances yet. But I'll get there as I keep playing it. I am really anxious to see what kinds of monstrosities will be thrown at us, as you can die pretty damn easily against the likes of that guy. As it should be.
Those of us who bought Dragon's Dogma on PS3 got the demo today.

The demo's alright. I have a feeling/pretty much know that the public demo's gonna be better than this and probably have more options to change, like camera position and stuff.
Just gotta wait two weeks.

Microsoft has a deal where if you pre-order RE6 from the Microsoft Store you get a $10 gift card and 1600 MS points for free. I currently have it pre-ordered from Newegg for $45, but am considering switching to this deal... I would probably spend the 1600 points on Deadlight and get two zombie survival-horror experiences for the price of one. 
Whoa. Thanks. What's the $10 dollar gift card to? It seems like it's just towards the Microsoft Store...Microsoft has a deal where if you pre-order RE6 from the Microsoft Store you get a $10 gift card and 1600 MS points for free.

Pretty sure it is. I think you need to redeem it by sometime in November too, but I'm not clear on the details.

I don't really understand how that "break free" meter thing works... I know you rotate the left stick, but can you kill it early when you get past the white line, or do you have to fill the meter all the way until the end?
Lucent
Member
I always seem to just toggle it until it fills and the character breaks free him/herself. There are some that just have you press the button within a preset green area but other than that I don't know.

I can't wait for the game (Or even the strategy guide) to start getting into peoples hands.
Really want to know more about the Mercs mode.
I hope they follow Mercs Reunion lead and theres some playable charcaters from the franchise in there (Though the Demo Leaked Files didn't indicate any so it might be just the charcaters in the game with costumes like RE5 had originally)

the white line is only a timer. when it reaches the end before you fill the meter with green, it's too late.

Yeah I'm probably getting the guide with this when I pick it up. Hopefully it'll be like the RE5 guide where it had some inside stuff on the making of the game. Also for joining Unlocked at Best Buy I got a coupon for 50% a strategy guide as one of my welcome gifts, so that'll help.

Sadly I just noticed it's brady games doing the guide this time not piggyback.
Which sucks piggyback makes some damn fine guides.
(Have their Dark Souls, FF13-2, Deus Ex guides)
Lucent

That's unfortunate. =l Piggyback really did to a good job with the RE5 guide. Brady games seems okay but it seems like it really depends on who writes it. I've just heard bad things about some guides where they leave out some important stuff or include false information. Hmmm...

Didn't know that at all.
If there is color me excited!
Should mean more charcaters will show up in mercs as well.
Even if sadly they are limited to DLC.

Just some random thoughts:
I can see why a lot of folks aren't liking the controls very much... you do have to fight them quite a bit... or you have to always know exactly what you want to do at all times, otherwise things can get willy-nilly real fast.
I think they could have addressed this by fixing the camera to the player's perspective, like in most TPS. I personally like having the camera control to move it around the character, but it causes problems. It causes pretty much all the problems.
A compromise would have been to add a sort of half step or two animation for changing the character direction, without immediately swinging their entire body around to face whatever direction you press (this is what causes jank in so many games). The first time I saw the hop-step transitional animation was in Uncharted, and in UC3 they put in a really good one where Drake takes a couple steps backwards before turning around. (There is still jank in UC but if you look at TLoU you see the logical progression, and benefit, of their system) and also have a real quickturn.
But that would be the ideal solution imo. Still, I think they could more easily address pretty much everyone's complaints by adding a camera option that binds it to the player's back. This was basically the RE5 camera... but now you have all the options of shoulder switching and move + shoot. I honestly don't think it would be too hard.
As for the camera positioning... I'm inclined to agree with EricB. I prefer the closer camera. Lots of people, especially PC gamers, seem to always want some camera that is super far back, and call for it in every game... I think it goes back to the days of playing isometric games (lol) and their ability to always mess with FOV. But I like a close camera and that's a debate that's been going on forever and won't end in the foreseeable future. One of those things people will just never agree on.
Overall I find the game has some heavy jank, especially in Chris's mission... but I also think it's something you can avoid by playing deliberately -- always knowing what you want to do -- it will really help to get the controls into muscle memory... then I think you can avoid a lot of the camera issues. I'm enjoying the little bit of story, and I like the characters. This is the first time in a main RE game that I don't think Leon is a huge dork haha. Chris'
is a little cheesy/confusing but I still like the character. His partner is kind of whatever though, but his scene
. Jake, surprisingly, I like. He's entertaining.
Anyway... those are my thoughts on the demo. I'm still in all-full-ahead hype mode for October.

A little late on this, but I have to say that those rumors from Gamefaqs are exactly what I've come to expect from a resident evil game. Ultimately predictable.

I'm more of a fan of where the camera is than how it works. More I play, more I think they should bind it to the character's back. I think that would solve most of the issues. And I don't think it'd be exceptionally hard to do. If could be an option, like in RE5.

Well I'm primarily a PC gamer so I guess I'm more sensitive to that stuff. Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible (like Dragon's Dogma and it's regular forays into the single digits) but for the most part im pretty sure the demo is hovering in the 20's (especially Leon's part - when you get to the dining room just pan the camera slowly and you can see the slow down).
As for resolution, im no pixel counter but it looks like it may be just under 720. Don't quote me on that, though.
It's just as over-the-top and action-packed as the movies now. RE5 was already delving into that territory but it looks like they went full retard with this one. I honestly wouldn't bat an eye if Alice was introduced into the game at this point - for once, she fits. Lol
Again, I do admit that I enjoy running around and kicking zombie ass in the most stylish and unbelievable way possible, but this isn't Resident Evil. Not by a longshot.
Leon's demo tries to call back to the originals but based on the small section in the demo, it seems to be suffering from CoD-itis and is instead a guided experience with jump scares and pitch black darkness.
Oh and lastly, I'm pretty sure this is the same demo the public is getting later. It's just labeled "Resident Evil 6 demo". When there's more than one demo of a game, it's usually labelled appropriately (like Dragon's Dogma's Adventure Demo or whatever). If there was another coming, I would think that this demo would have been called "RE6 E3 demo" or some shit.

Has there been any mention of a versus mode?
The games have minor over-the-top moments (laser corridors, boulder smash). The movies are just over-the-top for their entire running time. The games may involve a lot of shooting, but firing a gun isn't exactly stretching anything and it's not as though the series never involved a lot of it before. Now, firing a gun while flipping around like a beached fish? That's over-the-top.
cosigned.
An ability to z-lock on an opponent would be godly.
If you're giving me TPS controls, where is my circle strafe?

That would kill all tension in the game. This is not meant to play like a TPS, despite all the TPS trappings it comes with.
That is where I disagree.
Tension should be a result of setting, character and specific situation. A game should not have to rely on limited controls for that.
If I (as a supposed special agent) cannot look over my shoulder to keep an eye on an enemy (or even simply step backwards) while moving away to avoid fire, it doesn't build tension. It simply annoys. It also results in some wicked camera flips.
I'm not going to spoil specifics, but when you've got boss fights occurring in circular arenas, an inability to look at what you're trying to avoid is frustrating.
