I will be waiting for your review 😛

What's all this stuff about having to burn it to a disc?
I constantly download demoes from US and Japan without ever having to burn anything, however atm the demo is only for Gold memberships in Japan, and I only have a silver Japaneese account, so gotta wait.

I don't know the exact details.

Simply make yourself a Japanese hotmail account and use this to create a new gamertag (unless you have a PS3, then I don't know).

Still can't wait for this, Capcom's been on a role this past year I hope that trend can continue into 09.

Well will have to wait for it to be released for Silver then.

New trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43422.html

Played it a little today. I liked it but there's things that really bother me. Keep in mind, I haven't played all the games in the RE franchise so I might not know if some of the features are intended to be like that.

Anywhoo, game graphics while not anything close to Crysis, is easily one of the top graphics I've seen in a game. AI seems pretty smart, they interact well with the actions that I do. Also, great ragdoll physics although it's kinda exaggerated.

However, there's some things that really annoyed me. Like how you can't move while you shoot and how you can't reload unless clip is out (might be because of realism). Also, there wasn't a time where I actually felt scared or anything which I think is needed in a resident evil game. I'm sure this things could be fixed before they release it though.

Those are my first thoughts at least.

Interesting.

I heard the coop AI is somewhat annoying, but nothing game-breaking.

Why?! That is stupid and ridiculous. If you ask me, that is just another cheap way to make the game feel difficult when it is nothing but a nuisance. My biggest problem with REsident Evil 4 was that i could not walk while shooting? WHY?!

I personally don't think that the moving while shooting makes enough of a difference. It never cause me any problems in RE4...but the reload thing while realistic is basically stupid. I've always been the kind of person to reload every time I have a moment to just in case I get mobbed.

I'm good enough to not need to run about and shoot.

Just me, though.

It is somewhat lazy of them not to allow it. I mean...fine by me, but I think the game would benefit from it. Kindda like how it took nearly 10 years for Kojima to decide to let Snake finally move while he is crouching.

I was watching the game play trailer and I didn't understand why the player didn't run very much...and with the way that the zombies mob you I just wouldn't be able to help myself from holding down that square button

Here is the Co-op for the 360. Actual gameplay!

Me like it.
