It's starting to look like Resident Evil isn't going to be as big as I thought it would be. Not that it won't be big but just doesn't seem like anybody enjoyed it.

Don't take my pessimism too seriously.

Jennifer Aniston's nose is too big.

The beach is too hot, the sea is too cold.

I'm seldom happy.

I may have been a bit toasty while messing around with the demo last night, but couldn't you run by clicking the left thumbstick while moving? (no need for the A button made the movement much easier)

 Just watch your words above disintegrate after first week NA sales...

 

I actually think axumblade has a good point. Obviously the game will be big and will definitely sell millions, but I don't see it being as big as RE2 or 4 (combined sales), where previously I thought it had a shot at becoming the best sold RE ever, due to it becoming more casual.

There's a lot of criticism, dissapointment and worrying on different game forums. Not what you would expect from a very hyped game in one of the biggest franchises. This will undoubtedly affect sales.

I see this game being like...Metallica going from metal underground gods to mainstream rock band.  Selling millions in the process. Losing credibility with old fans but gaining so many new ones that it really doesnt matter.

Seriously--what's everyone's strategy for beating Chainsaw man? He keeps chainsawing me XD



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

The game feels like a cross between RE4/RE0 to me. The game seems clunky to me because I've been spoiled by the precise aiming of RE4 Wii Edition. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, just not sure I'll pick it up right away.

I don't know, I died three or four times and haven't tried again. I can think of two potential strategies:

1- Trying to keep as much distance as possible.

2- Running away :P

OK I am liking the quick menu more now I worked out how to assign the D-pad to weapons etc.

I have killed/completed the big guy with giant axe section!

Still not killed to chainsaw dude!

I'm sure the full game will provide you will more ammo/weapons/powerups. Demo seems to just dump you with bog standard equipment.

@ FKNetwork: Yes there is a screen tearing issue.

@ z101: Yes there is definitely a lack of atmosphere.
