I think you missed the 6 voice tracks part. 4GB is less space than a single layer DVD. How many games do you know feature more than 2 languages and fits within a single layer DVD with room to spare? That's what I thought.

　Do you think that noticeably degrading the audio quality so that more languages can be included is a good decision? I really wonder if that's the case here though. How much space do you think is required for high-quality sound effects in a game like this anyway?

Wow that trailer is awesome :0
Feel like I spoiled a lot of the game though..,
Well it's not just the voice track. Combine that with the numerous FMVs, the normal mapped textures, the music, the code. It's undoubtedly a tight squeeze, every MB they could have shaved off would have counted.

Yay massive story spoilers! >.>
Capcom's official excuse is the 4GB cartridge but I think production costs and the weak American dollar had a lot to do with the decision too (I can't imagine the 4GB carts being more than a few dollars more expensive than the 2GB ones).
Sound effects need to be loaded into RAM too and they can't be streamed like voice over or music, otherwise there would be a delay when playing them.
Yeah, I really didn't want to see that..

This is a great demo, this game will be mine. It feels closer to RE4 than the old formula. Maybe being able to look at the map in the menu would help, or some semblance of inventory management (RE4 actually did a great job in this area). The map has a linearity to it, mostly a straight shot with a side-path here and there to explore, though that may just be because it's a demo. Honestly though, I enjoyed RE4 a lot, so I'm not doomed to hate it if it doesn't go with the old formula.
A few quirks:
I kept pressing A by mistake and wasting my health items, and only used one when I actually needed it once at the end. Combat feels great, and felt a lot like RE4. The lack of ammo supplied in the demo was just right. I love scanning for items, but scanning enemies while they're still after me is even better. Is there going to be an eventual dossier on these enemies like in Metroid Prime, or a research bonus like Bioshock? What's with the scanning?
It looks like there are going to be a lot of 3DS games that make me choose between 3D or gyro controls, and it sure is irritating to have to go without one or the other. The 3D is a little less beneficial, but still cool enough to miss.
I'm kind of expecting a RE4 port for the 3DS now.

That is because it's a demo. Didn't you notice all the locked doors?
The only RE games I've played were zero and 2. They were fun, but I never got into the series. I was never really interested in Revelations, but after playing the demo, it's become a day 1 buy.
As someone that never played and heard so much praise, I really hope this happens.

Of course I did. I said I will reserve judgement, but the overall layout still seemed less free-roaming than the old games, even with the locked doors considered. Just look at the entire layout right before you reach the second floor. It seems to favor the major branching of RE4 over the more realistic floor plans of past games. I would be a lot less skeptical if we could study the map at our leisure, and the lack of such a feature makes the map layout seem rather irrelevant, and to me that indicates a less complex focus.
Like I said, I know this is a demo, but if the final game doesn't open up rather significantly in comparison, I will consider it to be pretty linear even with those locked rooms considered. I will wait and see, and I will probably enjoy the game either way. I really hope I'm wrong, but this is the vibe I get. *shrug*

I kinda had a *mind blown* moment when I got hit to the ground and could keep on firing. It was a really cool moment

I particularly appreciated having my shotgun automatically switched to a handgun, which only had two shots left. Tension!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I honestly didn't find the graphics to be terribly impressive. The jaggies coupled with the tinny-ass sound effects (the music sounds fucking great, though) left a poor impression. I'll still be buying it Day 1, however.
The IQ is kinda rough, I think. The dithering is also pretty noteably.

Exactly--none of that really comes across in screenshots. I knew it was too good to be true!

I loved the demo and I actually felt uneasy playing it which is a relief due to Resident Evil not being scary for a long time. One thing I was wondering about is if they ditched the over the shoulder view for aiming?. I guess the first person aiming works but I do prefer the over the shoulder view.
On the negative side the scanner could be a bit of a hindrance, but I like that you can scan from afar and don't have to be that close to the objects you scan. I did enjoy it in Metroid Prime, but I dont find it as fitting in this game (so far as the demo goes). It is just a minor gripe to be honest.

The 2D antialiasing smooths it out a lot.

I guess I must have overlooked it as I only saw the type controls. I think I will try the demo again on hell mode then and switch the controls.
I just tried hell mode and wow that was quite fun and intense. I like how you get access to another weapon alongside with the different enemy placement. I noticed on the room before the dining room (with the bookshelves) I could scan something above me but couldnt reach to grab it. I wonder what kind of item it was.
I recognize Mercs definitely had compressed sound, but REvelations Demo had higher samples. But yeah, I agree that voices and music sound great. The Ooze sloshing sound does sound low quality.
In my experience, useless. I've ordered 2 games from them before. On was a pre-order and they dispatched it a week after it launced.
Still getting it from there though. I'll happily wait a week for a £15 saving.

I'm finding I'm able to make a lot more of my shots count with the slide pad verses gyro control, which makes 3D mode quite playable. Gyro play is still cool enough to make switching worthwhile though.

You can change the aiming in the options menu.
Its probably been said, but wow the surround sound on the 3DS is pretty nice for a handheld. When you swing open a door, it actually sounds like it opens towards your side. For lack of a better way to explain it, its like being enveloped in a sound bubble.
Found this same effect happening on Pilotwings and Star Fox. Still cant predict a stagger + melee combo attack as well as I should.

Has anyone discovered any secret unlocks once you beat Hell mode? I mean like things in the level that weren't there before. I honestly found Hell mode not that bad. If they hadn't given you the SMG and plenty of ammo for it, that might've been a real ball-buster. I suppose a no-SMG run would be interesting, then the usual sort of knife-only, no-killing type runs could follow.

Stabbing things just with a simple button press is a nice improvment , the knife was kind of awkward to use in 4.

Yeah, and a max of 5 health herbs to, which seem to heal you 100% no matter how close to death you are. The inventory is a major disappointment, it is just so streamlined. Hopefully some of this is demo-exclusive.

Yeah, from the way the game handles the inventory it has to have these caps, I think. I assume that'll be upgradable, though.

I was actually quite pleased with the way the inventory worked. I mean, has anybody ever actually enjoyed mixing herbs? Or rotating 3D models of random items?
Ok I did used to enjoyed rotating the items but I can't say I'll miss the old inventory system
It was mentioned earlier that you get an herb if you reach 100%. It's actually a pretty interesting risk/reward mechanic because you'll get a bigger payoff for being more daring. It also gives the opportunity to snag some extra help if you run into trouble.
