I seriously lost interest after 2. There's nothing new to them after that. Hell, there was nothing much new after 1.

You smell of wee.

This one has co-op, right? I like that.

Holy shit, you've never played RE4 and you are dismissing the series as stale? I don't know if Grim...'s server can hold this much wrong.

I've played all 4 of them. I lost interest in that 3 and 4 felt like playing extra levels of 2.

Just when I thought you were Mayor of Wrongtown, you had to go up the stakes. We need to create an entire Continent of Errors for you boy.

Aren't there six RE games, though? You're forgetting RE:0 and Code Veronica (X/Complete/whatever).

How fucking wrong are you? Punch yourself.

Ah yes- wasn't the veronica one a light gun effort?

No, I think that was Umbrella Chronicles.

Could you please sign for this, Mr Chris?

There were also the two Resident Evil: Survivor games, they were lightgun games. One, two, three.

Yeah, I'm just trying to think of the canonical traditional survival-horror games. There's six, I believe (seven with RE5).

I thought the first Resi game was crap. The second was more of the same and Code Veronica was dull as well. My problem was that all of the tension, for me, felt like it was being contrived by making your controlled character about as easy to steer as a shopping trolley full of anvils.

Haven't we already had a thread about this demo, it's been available on torrent sites (and playable on normal un-messed-about-with xboxes) for ages?

The early release demo you refer to is the Japanese one I think, which was out ages ago.

I get cheap thrills by getting a "mate" to hide in a closet and jump out and shout "Chase me" at random moments.

I'm slightly concerned that markg might be getting confused with the Dead Space demo we talked about a while ago.

Ooh, is this demo a whole new one then?

No, definitely an RE5 demo, I had to download it from a torrent site and burn it to a CD.

If you torrent the Japanese demo and burn it to a DVD, you can play it from your Demos menu in the 360.

Anyway, it's, er... Every bit as annoying as I thought it would be. The controls are awkward and Chris is blocking a third of the screen with his huge hulking body. And enemies take around 10 bullets to bring down, ammo is scarce, reloading causes you to stand still and painstakingly refill your weapon with ammo often causing death because you can't cancel a reload if something attacks you.

It looks nice, though.

The last Resident Evil game I played was 3, I missed out on 4 because I had sold my Gamecube for some reason. So, I was quite looking forward to this until I played it. Put me in the 'fucking hell, these controls are terrible' camp, gentlemen.

It was late though and I didn't spend too much time with it. Here's my playthrough:

"Ooooh, it works!"
"Ooooh, it's pretty"
"Hang on, I need to move these bookcases"
"Die, motherfucker"
"Hnnnnnnngh"
"Arrrgh, fucking turn!"
"Get out the way you fucking, stupid cow!"
"Hnnnnngh"
"Fucking... run... no, turn... no... fuck"
*Waggle sticks*
*Press B to rescue your bumbling, cretinous, moron of an AI buddy*
*Waggle Sticks*
"I wonder if Sexcetera is on now"
"Ah-ha, higher ground"
"Get out of the fucking way, bitch"
"Aieeeeeee"
*Big fat axe man fucks my shit up and kills Sheva. At which point I shake his hand, give him a knowing nod and offer him tea and crumpets*

I'm shit at this game and I hate the controls (duh). I give it 9 out of 10 to save Edge the trouble of reviewing it.

Because I have limited playing time these days if I actually manage to finish a game I trade it on forthwith for whatever beans I can. With RE4 I played it through 3 times, sold it, then bought it again 6 months later because I missed it.
