ha. Dr Wily's a moniker. I wonder if the save data in the JP demo will translate to the retail or if it's a different save.
Also I learned that you can throw your teammates. And I'd say the AI is fine because they seemed to be doing a better job killing the monster than me.

Combos are based on button timing. That's why we always so the same combos over and over in video playthroughs. People were just jamming on the buttons repeatedly instead of timing the presses.
As long as for the most part it runs as stable as we have seen in all of the PS3 footage, then the occasional drop will not bother me a bit. That is about what I am expecting. Now, 49%... hurry the hell up and finish downloading.

Hush, you will get used to it damn it, lol.
Yup...I hate click to dash, even moreso in third person.

bad gameplay lol
Is the demo taking FOREVER to install for anyone else?
This is how you can get the COD crowd and their money.
LOL, too bad the game itself would turn them away in droves.

Wasn't able to parry the boss
but air block, fuck yeah!
Only used 1 pawn and he was pretty useful, holding down the harpy and the boss
Don't like the framerate though, the camera is too close to the character I feel
Sucks about the framerate. Hopefully this demo is just an old build.
Seems pretty solid to me.
Yeah, I think the graphics are pretty bad. :/
Character models don't have very much detail at all.

It really doesn't seem any worse than any other open world game on a console. If you can handle playing stuff like GTA4, inFamous or RDR on a console then this isn't going to bother you.
I noticed that they even have aerial combos if you're Strider. You can do a triple dagger swipe into a downward double dagger stab...assuming that you jump from a high enough spot.
Where are people seeing tearing?
I haven't seen any. Played through both scenarios.
Framerate seems plenty good to me.

Hmmm....Still waiting on 360 demo before pre-order. Framerate drops bother me more than tearing. We'll see soon enough.

Can't be worse than Blighttown.
OK, I am playing the prologue right now and the game feels fine so far. The framerate is nothing like Blight Town and it is hardly tanking. You can see a slight dip when you pan the camera here and there, but other than that it is running smoothly for me so far. Put it this way, it runs like the PS3 footage we have seen of the same area, and that is more than sufficient for me.
As far as visuals go, the textures are not the best, but it looks about like what we have seen as well. So it really comes as no surprise. I actually love the look of the game and the visuals more than work for me. Anyway, back to it.

^ the griffin dies fast, try playing the prologue with just 1 pawn, it's a bit better
Digging strider after getting used to the controls, lacking the double jump though
Will make my character and play some more later

Just beat the Chimera. Love the way it plays and looks. Music is great, as is the atmosphere as well. No, the Chimera was not overly challenging, because it is the prologue of the damn game. How can anyone judge the difficulty on that? It is a tutorial and introduction to the game. But I guess it is not going to be for everyone. As for myself, it is exactly what I have been seeing in all of the gameplay footage and I fucking love it. On to the Griffin.

"Ah animal dung... a deer perhaps?"
Quality dialog right there!
Looking forward to trying this for myself.
But, this is what Capcom choose that best represents their game. Their own fault for choosing the prologue.

This isnt quite what i was hoping for, graphics are pretty bad at times and movement feels so janky, framerate in the first mission is well below 30. The combat is great though, and i really like the enemy designs.
There is a LOT of banding in the night sky...jeez. I love the way the enemies look and animate, even seeing stuff like the griffin flying far away casting a shadow, but some other aspects are pretty ugly. I've been running around the area they give you before you hit the invisible wall and there's quite a bit of popup, especially down in the area with a little bit of water. You're level 20 in the second segment and they're both extremely easy, but I'm liking the gameplay.
Also agree with the above to turn off the cinematic stuff. Really distracting and pulls you out.

Because normal enemies felt throwaway and every encounter up until the boss felt the same. That's how.

God's had his chance.
Hook a brother up with a control scheme rundown for the combos and cancels meng!!
Well, anyone should be able to discern that the tutorial/prologue is not going to offer some exceptional challenge. Nor will it spoil anything, and I am guessing that is why they chose it. Many demos are like this, just to give you an idea of the game and how it plays. It's fine and does it's job.
Now, I just beat the Griffin as well in the Countryside quest with the pre-made Strider. It went down easy as well, but was it ever fun fighting him while he is flying around. Strider to start it is for me. The game is going to be fun as hell, and I feel that beings it is so big, the demo will simply not do it justice.
Anyway, no way in hell will some low level enemies in a demo lower my expectations. This was meant to give you a mere taste and a feel for the gameplay. Every preview has said that the game presents more than a sufficient challenge and will beat you down when you venture off the beaten path and come across foes that are beyond your level. Nobody should worry about that.
LOL, it is still a tutorial of a huge open world game with many different enemies at varying levels. Everyone who has had extensive hands-on has made it a point to say that the game is by no means easy and will punish you if you venture off too far and come across enemies that out level you. Not to mention that you will often find that you will have to retreat and level up more just to progress period. But if you want to go ahead and write the difficulty of the game off based on the tutorial in the demo, then that is your right, I guess. As I said, it will not be for everyone.
It seems like only some normals could be canceled, I wasn't able to cancel a heavy attack. Need to experiment some more.
[] - Light attack
/_\ - Heavy
L1 + [], /_\, O - specials
R1 + [],/_\, O - specials
L2 - Sheath
R2 - Grab
You guys should try light combos with specials thrown in. Like SSx said, timing matters in order to do different combos so don't just mash buttons.
