Dark Drakan · 11-27-2008

According to the latest issue of Famitsu a demo of Capcoms Resident Evil will hit Xbox Live next week supporting co-op play but could be restricted to Japan only. However Capcom are staying tight lipped about this news...

We contacted Capcom about the report, but the publisher told us it has "nothing to announce regarding a demo at this moment in time".

The mag made no mention of a PS3 demo, so it's assumed to be 360-only for the time being, and the release could be specific to Japan.

Hmm....
I remain hopeful, but I'll still be expecting the worse.

I have never liked the RE series. It always seemed so stupid, and the controls were really weird. But Left 4 Dead is an awesome zombie game, so maybe it might be possible for RE to make me look into it again. Maybe not.

Most Resident Evils are messed up, and have weird Controls.
Resident Evil 4, and Five have more of a third person Shooter, point of view, similar to Battle front II and Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus. I've played the demo, and it's def worth looking into.

The controls on Resident Evil games are generally absolute poo. Voice acting and plot isn't a Resident Evil strong point, either.

Hasn't sopped me being a fan of the series since the very first Resident Evil for PSOne, mind. I love 'em. All of 'em. Even the crap ones like Gun Survivor.

Actually, no, not really. Gun Survivor was rubbish.
