Resident Evil 5 demo for 360

I had a chance to play it today, and out of the three people who had a chance (since we were playing it at the student lounge at college), I was the only one that didn't die. And I have witnesses. I was forced into playing it, seeing as how I'm the only one that really plays Resident Evil (the REAL Resident Evil games) obsessively, so everyone wanted to see me go first. I did the first stage (the not Shanty Town one), and the whole time, I have this room full of people telling me that I need to run over there, or run towards that, telling me to get out of the area. Meanwhile, I already know that I'm sealed in, and what I should be doing is shooting them and running around until the cutscene happens.

Overall, I thought it was exactly what I was expecting it to be. Resident Evil 4 with better graphics and a little more overwhelming with baddies.

The new controls sucked, and next time I'm setting them to regular Resident Evil style controls.
 
Yeah, just change it to Type A. Strafing is nice, but you can't run-strafe and you spend the majority of the time holding run anyways.

And that's another thing really bothering me with the controls. You're using an analog stick, yet you still have to hold a button to run. Really?

Yes. I've played with a couple people actually.
I forgot that my Gold ran out the other day. Can you can play RE5 demo online with an American account? I may renew my subscription if you can.

Burned it to a disc...Xbox didn't even read it.

Son of a fucking bitch.
I don't know if you know, but the 360 doesn't read the disc itself as the demo/game. It's just going to see the CD as a "Mixed Media Disc". You have to go to Game Library and then Demos.

Yeah, I was a witness and it was humorous. It was especially humorous when the guy after you played and sucked major balls at the game and the whole student lounge got rowed up when he died.

But yeah, the first stage was the typical demo time trial. Haven't played or seen the second stage fully so I'm not sure how that plays out. However, I'd just like to point out that it's rather odd that even though this is a Japanese demo, the game's title is Resident Evil 5 rather than Biohazard 5, despite the fact that it was all in English too.

I still don't understand why the enemies will run up to you, STOP, and then attack you. It would make more sense if they just ran up and attacked you right when they were within range.

BTW Krit, how did you get the online multiplayer to work? My roomate said he tried earlier and it wasn't allowing him to.

From what a friend told me,you can DL it,but it'll get blocked,even if you do the japanese account trick.
If your xbox has a US IP,they'll track it and pretty much block the demo. That's why most people burn it on CDs.
At least this is what I heard.
