Biohazard 5 Demo Comparison

[Umon Daisuke]

Umon, not sure about the audio.

Is the demo a full GB, or the whole content of the disc? I really don't anticipate any differences in that respect, but it's all the better if they're taking advantage of the extra space somehow.

Dot, here - http://www.the-horror.com/index.php?id=features - if we click directly on the text: "Biohazard 5 Demo Comparison", it directs us to the (great) "Dark Biohazard Interview". I thought i'd warn you. Great comparison, so far by what i saw i'm glad to be buying an X360! (soon)

Whoops! Fixing

I understand why you did it -- to show the differences to people who own both consoles(like myself) and want to make a final choice

The real comparison is naturally the one between the final retail versions, so this comparison is purely for kicks, since the demos are of older builds of their respective consoles. The 360 had more demo builds as well IIRC.

Dot's reason for doing it... well, for kicks really He did a DMC4 demo comparison despite not being interested in the game one bit. Far better than relying on Gametrailers or the press in general, and it's fun.

Sounds like a personal problem

Umon, not sure about the audio.

Jesus Christ...Dot, I see why you did it and I appreciate it but this is the shit that only fuels the fire of the stupid-ass console wars that will never come to an end. Fanboys on GameFAQs and probably NeoGAF too are linking to this comparison and bitching and moaning about it...it's so ridiculous.

I understand why you did it -- to show the differences to people who own both consoles(like myself) and want to make a final choice -- but I just LOVE when people shit their pants over differences like this. So ridiculous.

Nevertheless, for what its worth, the comparison is very in-depth and well done.

Man Ps3 got its ass kicked.

The odd filtering present in DMC4 seems to here as well, but I suppose Quaz & co are better judges. The most prevalent differences are the shaders with those builds, which was a minor difference between the two versions of DMC4 as well.

Any LPCM support on the PS3? DMC4's was basically 484kbps and it didn't even override the DD option.

Oh well the jpn psn demo should be up soon, thanks for the heads up though

[GalacticAE]

That's all I was wondering about...

I'm looking forward to the video.

[Dot50Cal]

I cant. Its 1GB, and also has this oddball way of copying it to the PS3. Basically, you put the disc in and go to boot it, but it opens like a folder. Then you click on the BH5 demo, and it copies the INSTALL to the HDD. Then you have to install the game proper to the HDD again. So yeah, its odd. Plus, afaik, you can't rip PS3 game demos properly yet.

[ps3147]

Dude you need to rip that and upload it on the net ASAP lol

[Dot50Cal]

Is the Ps3 version "widely available" yet like the 360 version was?

No, read the article. Its only available on a disc you get if you buy a new PS3 from Nov 18th onward.

Hopefully I'll be able to find one to order...I'd like to see the difference for myself.

Good comparison
