RPD Dispatch 8 - RE5 Demo

[aris13]

Yes it'll make the game harder but i like the "real time" inventory. The inventory of RE 4 was good but organizing your guns and ammo was a waste of time, the game paused even when you were picking up an item.

Thats like in Outbreak, but it's a good point you make. It'll make it hard

Tried playing it a few more times and i still hate it, one of the largest flaws is the fact the game still plays whilst you have the inventory open, so whilst you're trying to either equip another weapon or heal, you're getting you ass handed to you. Who in the hell thought that would be a good idea?

I was expecting someone hack the demo to find cool stuff. Great work Mark! =)

I managed to extract the following files from the Bio5 Demo ISO:

bh5logo.wmv
op_a.wmv
re5logo.wmv

They all seem to have the following properties, however I cannot view them on my PC... help?

Audio: Windows Media Audio 48000Hz 6ch 384Kbps [Raw Audio 0]
Video: WVC1 1280x720 29.97fps 7400Kbps [Raw Video 1]


More stuff I found out:
Audio is in XMA format.
ARC archives are compressed (no hacking... )
Textures are an unknown format.

Hate it, won't be buying the game. Way to ruin the series Capcom

Ive decided to try and say things from both points of view to avoid arguments now.
So technicly, i'll say they have for hardcore old school fans, but they havnt for new fans or other fans which also enjoy the newer games.

I dont know much info on the RE6 demo and ive just skipped to the last poage on this thread but....does anyone know when the PS3 demo comes on the PS network? : D

Also as for the problems im reading about the partner AI and such, this demo has been released early, so im guessing the AI isnt as perfect as it will be in the final game. So it's best not to make any judgements based on this demo.

and "easter egg" sorta things in the demo ?

There's a Skorpion sub-machine gun in the Public Assembly right near the big red gate in a briefcase.

Aside from that, I haven't seen any.

Just found out why Sheva wasn't helping me when I was being grappled by the Majini...

You have to press B while being attacked to make Chris yell "Help!", at which point she'll deliver a swift kick to their face..

Not so easy to do when she runs off and you're more worried about staying alive.

just take all the Green Herbs and Ammo she has and the only one who is going to get his ass kicked is her but really she follows you all the time and if she runs off like a dog then just call her back by pressing B , i never had any problems with her at all.
edit: oh yea and it's funny that the dog in Fable 2 is more loyal than her , lets hope the Ai gets further polish in the final version which im sure it will since it still has 3 more months of development, plus this demo is the same build that was shown at E3 which means it's very old.

uhh you do realize you can request items from her right? if you don't know how press Y then click RB then you should see her stuff , you can request anything including the sub-machine gun .

From what I saw from my brother playing before I left for work: Sheva would take the ammo before he could, she'd then stand in place for a few moments not firing at the enemies, and would take a crap load of damage and then call for help. Also a few of the enemy AIs (the executioner and a few of the regulars) just stood in place with their backs to Chris and Sheva for about 30 seconds. My brother even made the comment of "What the hell are they doing?" and when he finally shot at them, they turned and attacked.

This was basically the E3 demo and what was carted around other gameshows correct?
If thats true, the AI and enemies were dumbed down for casual player consumption.
An early build which will probably see a boost in AI and graphics come release like Lost Planet did *well not AI in that case but the graphics were touched up*
I didn't think it was bad, I liked the gameplay however its nothing we haven't seen in RE4, I just wish Capcom would have picked a better location in the game to do a short segment from that wasn't just a mindless battle royale.
