View Full Version : So what'd you think of the demo?
Tell me! And I promise I'll tell Capcom and Nintendo.

Its excellent,i enjoy it.The option to go even deeper in the 3D is amazing.The laser color is a nice addition and the ability to change voices(eventought the demo has only Eng. and Jap. voices)
It wasn´t that hard to use the contorls as they are similar to RE Mercs 3D so i adept pretty quick.Eventualy i could imagine how great it will be with the pro circle addaption.

I sat down to play it properly last night.
I really like where it's going, and I definitely want more.
My only concerns:
1 - Why limit us to 30 plays? I know this is Nintendo, not Capcom, but it still irks me that I can't play the demo as much as I want...
2 - The demo should've been longer. Just as I was really starting to get into it, and get used to the controls, the demo ends and I'm left with a thank you...
3 - Item Scanner...really? It's useful, it's fun to use, but it really does seem like the oddest contraption to have ever been introduced into the series. I liked being able to scan the corpses of my enemies, but scanning for items around the room seemed odd...
Aside from these, I loved it and will definitely be purchasing the full game come release.
Gotta say, far better than the offering than the demo that came with RE:Mercs 3D, with that I was feeling the tension, getting really hyped for scares and suddenly, the monste- "THANKS FOR PLAYING!".
I think it was just the right size, it was enough to get me hyped, and it didn't feel cut short. Its done its job as a demo, and I will definitely be buying the full game (Who needs pesky food and rent money anyway?). :D
I like the ghost ship style, with a rusty nautical themed menu with radar and flowing water noises, its something I've not seen much of in modern games and it's certainly playing on the "haunted mansion" concept of RE0,1 and Code Veronica. Where it has a rational in-universe explanation, but the mystery makes it appealing.
I'm very surprised by the quality of this game, its almost unbelievable that it could fit on a cartridge instead of a disc, I'm just hoping the game is fairly long and it's not cut short due to its technical nature.

This annoyed me too. :(
Guess it'll just have to stay on standby until I've dissected it adequately. :P
But it is rather annoying because I like playing this kind of thing for nostalgia, really, it sounds dumb but, I enjoy certain elements like music or visuals that don't make it in to the full game or get altered before they do in some cases. It's interesting to notice changes and alterations in gameplay too, no matter how minor they appear.
3 - Item Scanner...really? It's useful, it's fun to use, but it really does seem like the oddest contraption to have ever been introduced into the series. I liked being able to scan the corpses of my enemies, but scanning for items around the room seemed odd...
I enjoyed it, it certainly adds a puzzle/investigation element to the game, which makes sense and makes for some interesting sequences in lieu of some fetch puzzles and possibly adding some scares. I'm just hoping it has database entries to read and not just brownie points for scanning goo (I'll have to check if there actually is a database in game. :S).
Just had a chance to have ago and I must say though I did not get very far, it felt so much like classic Resi.
Impressive so far to say the least, I will get more play time and report back but so far so good.

Played Hell difficulty today,was quite tought but i made it in my first playtrough without dying.:D
Also its cool that there is an MP5 added in the demo.
TZM about the scanner.It could be possibly made to search for specific materials.Example:it finds bullets by searching for molecules of gunpowder,herbs by the smell of them or aswell molecules,enemies for viral traces and handprints with either a IR unit or similar.Well thats the most reasonable solution for it i think.
Hell difficulty is awesome, I recommend trying it before your demo expires, its a very different experience, items are rearranged, and there's an MP5! :D
I also recommend doing a run with Japanese voices enabled, its rather interesting to hear.
