Nope, I don't think its region locked. I had some guy from England on his cell phone with a friend telling him to play with him. The game host suddenly was disconnected lol.Revolutionary said:
Quick question, how does voice work on this? Real basic question where do I plug my microphone headset into the system (not to send the sound to the headphones, which I would just plug into my sound system), but to be able to talk as well. I'm not up for playing online like it was still Outbreak (which was cool), with that games gesture/command format.
Does anyone also know whats supposed to be in the final code thats not in the demo, I haven't found the kotaku article someone mentioned.

Well, after just playing the demo now i'd say I went from a must buy to waiting for impressions + videos of the release build. Game looks good and runs perfectly fine in my eyes. The only thing is the controls; I really hoped they wouldn't be as bad as the impressions I was reading, and they aren't broken as some have said, but they aren't very good either.

That's bizarre. I'm playing over a wireless network and have successfully hosted and been invited to every game I've tried. I was even playing with people from Europe/America, and I live in Australia.
The random match making isn't really working, but I was just chalking that up to a lack of Australian players at the moment.

I like the PS3 controls much more than on the 360, but the framerate is more inconsistent. Probably end up picking up both versions at some point anyway.

You mean how incredible moronic the invite system is? Because i've been trying to play with a friend and every single time someone else would join the game before i could accept the invite. So frustrating.Flunkie said:
Wow, talk about fighting the controls, the control scheme is so archaic, it's really weird playing like that and seeing the gorgeous graphics.
Also, for some reason the demo refuses to load any gameplay after the executioner scene in the first level. The second level seems to play just fine though.

last I checked, most HD networks are doing 1080i and will be for a long time, while some do 720p, and certain PPV channels support 1080p at least with Direct TV
as far as RE5, the lack of 1080i support for the PS3 is getting really lame now. I will not be paying full price for this game because of the non-1080i issue.
I'll wait until it's cheap and pick it up used. I'm not going to pay a premium price for a game that couldn't even be bothered to upscale
Deadspace did almost everything right...

A great handicap for all that people that enjoyed the 5 second puzzle in RE4.
Seriously, after RE4, how is that bad?.

that's it. RE is officially not RE anymore.
Just finished the demo, I don't think Capcom did a great job with this game. To sum it up, they took the RE4 mechanics and tried to make a western action game by copying a few features which have been badly implemented. The mix overall doesn't work imo.
Controls are too slow for the kind of fast action they introduced in the game, the new real time inventory system just sucks.
Gameplay is based around three things : "pick your weapon as fast as you can before they are on you", " be careful when you shoot because you can't move", "be careful when you reload because you can't move or stop the animation".
Maybe they introduced/kept these limits in the gameplay to create a sense of urgency in the player but I'm not happy about it, a modern 'survival horror' game shouldn't rely on such a limited gameplay to achieve its purpose. Graphics are really good but not too impressive at this point.
I still want to play it for the story and new locations but I'm not sure I?m going to pay full price for this.

There is, because RE4 had A.I.
Elios83 said:
How is the action fast? And as far as picking your weapon...shouldnt you set up your inventory (just like any RE) before you get into the fray? Even more so with quick select. Also its not really hard to pop an enemy as long as they dont surprise you.

Seriously. Playing the PS3 version demo, it might have taken small framerate dips (similar to DMC4 360 cutscenes) but nothing gamebreaking.

This game needs some decent action controls to go with everything that goes on in the game
Maybe because I have been playing MGO too much, but I wanted to do so many things with Chris but was stuck with run, stop, run, walk, turn, looking through inventory...shoot...wrong button and knife comes out instead..confused...
Everything else was great, I could even accept the RE4-like animations, but the control is just hard to get used

No. IIRC, they said that at that point of development (from which the demo is taken) PS3 version was leagues behind the 360 one, but that they tried a newer build and they were almost identical.
I sure hope so, there is the same gap there was between the GC and the PS2 version of RE4, only that maybe the framerate is even worser.
Indeed, but it's still a shame it basically never holds at 30fps.

I'd say it's probably a demo censorship since the demo is accessible to just about anyone with an internet connection.
