Resident Evil 5 (demo)

[Sane]

It won't work online at all unless you are in Japan I'm afraid.
Also, apparently if you play it while signed in to Live the demo file will become corrupted and no longer show up in your games library. BEWARE!

Capcom are trying very hard to prevent us playing it. Thankfully I'm playing from disc.

What? since when is this? I've played co-op on live fine earlier this week.

I don't think you can download it at all now unless your in Japan, I think they check your region so you'll need to get it off the net in the usual places, I think someone here uploaded it to Rapidshare or something too.

I'll need to try this on Co-op but every time I put my 360 on, no-one I had on my list was playing the demo, anyone fancy a wee go over the weekend sometime?

Yeah if anybody needs it just PM me. I would post the links here but dont know if its allowed.

When I loaded it last night it automatically signed me out of Live and then as soon as I quit back to the dashboard after finishing playing it I was signed back in. No chance of it corrupting mine - I (ahem) downloaded it to PC and burnt it to a DVD-R.

Red Dwarf. Cuber001 is a fan.

So I have acquired the demo.

The chances of coop working, a) None, or b) A slim one?

Id say none. I sorted myself a disc last night and like the person a few posts up, it automatically signed me out of live when i started playing.

Lovely looking game. Had a shocker with the controls though, and the tearing. They need to make it easier and quicker to change weapons on the move as its bloody impossible at the moment to react to things quickly enough. I kept running out of ammo as well, on both levels. and then got hacked up by the chainsaw good and proper!

You can change guns by pressing the D pad in the direction of the gun you want. How much faster can it be?

What res do I have to run at to see the tearing? I still haven't seen it and I'm running in 1080i. I assumed if it's present at 1080p it'd also be there at 1080i.

I'm worried it's actually there and you lot'll think I'm dopey and don't know what tearing is, but really I do and I just haven't seen any yet. Although based on my 'review' after playing it, maybe I was just annoyed.

But yeah, I wanna see this tearing!

The tearing occurs at 1080p via HDMI for moi, mostly during the cutscenes. During gameplay if you aim your gun slowly across the screen you can clearly see the tearing at the top of the screen.

I have to agree. It's the best tv series us poms have ever produced.

Thanks guys - my surname actually is Rimmer! Feel free to add me on Xbox Live: Ace Rimmer316.

Sorry for going off-topic! Er... I like the demo but I don't think it's much of a step-up gameplay wise. New controls are good and graphics are fantastic but it's not much of an evolution. You could argue if it ain't broke, don't fix it though!

[Rossco]

I didn't get one bit of tearing on this with 720p component. So it looks like HDMI 1080p is the problem!
