yeah i downloaded the game demo for ps3 and i forgot how bad the controls were..wii resident evil4 definitely pawns these controls.

story wise..
who knows

RE4 had great AI. Made the game a lot of fun. Hopefully they will iron out the kinks like with the door example you listed... but honestly if it's similar to RE4 AI it'll be fun.

I'm rebuilding my apartment. I don't even have my ps3 hooked up here. I have no clue where my wii is and I don't have a friends code either because i don't know how you get one. I've only used it offline.. and to check out the virtual store where i was gonna grab some classics until i found out the prices of nes games were above (or at the same) prices of ps1 games(it's a while since i was there so i can't remember snes games exacly, i think it variated depending on the game i'm not sure) that's a whole generation of difference. And n64 games were twice as expensive. Ps1 games = 40kr N64 games = 75kr. And don't say they are worth twice as much because that simply isn't true.

If that doesn't prove that i have, atleast had access to the store, you will have to settle with the doubt. Because I can't for good reasons get it online any time soon. And not having played the thing online i don't have a friend code.

Besides you must have missed the "(In my opinion)" which states that it is in my opinion. I should have said I've seen better Use of the sixaxis which is amazing concidering how much it is bashed by those (I assume) who hasn't witnessed it truly shine. Then again You could also say the same about the wii mote and me, but i have some of the most highly spoken of games so i'm going to have to assume that i've seen mostly what it's capable of offering in it's current state (that is without the motion plus device and with the limitations of the hardware itself)

"Oh noes ! How dare you played a game without HD graphics ?

Guess the "old" days were horrible......"

Some people have a hard time going back to something more primitive after experiencing something more advanced whether that is controls or graphics. Others, like NJ5 or me, can.

And while one can reasonably argue whether the Wiimote is better for some types of game, that is not the case with a RE4 style game where the superior speed and accuracy of the infrared pointer demolish dual analogue controls and make it so much more realistic (in a similar way that more powerful graphic components allow games to look much more realistic on Ps360).

On my first play through with this demo I tried out the online co-op with a friend. During this play through I found the controls to be lacklustre, and my character felt like a tank rather than a human being. The over the shoulder camera wasn't fantastic either with zombies appearing out of nowhere chomping on my ass. I did not enjoy being swarmed by zombies whilst battling the controls, and the game was certainly not scary in the slightest; but then Resident Evil has shifted more into survival action rather than horror.

It could have ended there and then, my expectations shattered for the next supposed AAA entry in this long running franchise, however, it did not.

I decided to give the demo a second shot - only fair I thought - this time on solo mode. For whatever reason, probably due to having a little experience with the controls and adjusting to the fact there was a red laser and not a retitcule in the middle of my screen, I found it easier to pop off headshots more often. I also used the context punchs and stomps regularly, finding them as an excellent way to conserve ammunition for touger encounters. The problems I had been having with the character turning like a tank were vastly reduced by liberal usage of the quick turn function. Also I had been getting a sore thumb from holding the left analogue stick down to run and switched to holding X to run and began turning with the left stick instead of the right. The controls, whilst not perfect, are certainly more than capable for the situations I was in.

Now I failed to mention that during my co-op play through I had to rescue my partner on far too many occasions. I guess he just plain sucked as on my solo play through I rarely had to rescue Sheva and she was quite good with the hand gun; if a little wasteful of ammunition.

I've came to accept that the series is no longer horror, but I do expect quite a few tense moments from the final game, and instead of the "no way in hell am I playing this" attitude I had after my first play through, i'm certainly in the mood to go out and complete this game now and will give Capcom the benefit of the doubt.

(making a post without fully reading the thread, so sorry if somebody has made the point already)

I'll be honest, I never liked RE4's analogue stick controls on Gamecube or PS2. I thought they were both extremely limiting and awkward. I don't think anyone other than a long practiced console gamer would take to them quickly. I played the full game, and it's a great game, but I felt the controls were horrible and that never changed. I got used to them alright, but they never became 'good' in my view.

I agree 100%.....tried the demo last night and found despite the good graphics that the game is basically unplayable with the control system provided.
