Resident Evil 2 Demo Impressions Thread [Demo Spoilers Only]
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
It sure doesn't help when more than half the series is a bunch of mostly subpar action games (and the movies are subpar action movies). Thank God for RE1-2-3-7…
Thanks, in that case I'll definitely play as both Claire and Leon. You're also right about the interactions in REmake, they're short and barely of great importance to the gameplay.
You`re right about the soft look. However, there`s definitely something wrong with the contrast level in the demo. Reminds me of RE7 with the sRGB setting enabled: washed out colours and greys instead of blacks while the bt.709-option showed "darker" blacks and better looking colours...

My guess is: the demo runs in that sRGB-mode and Capcom is going to fix this or they let you choose between those settings in the final release.

Played the demo and I'm gonna be one of the rare cases in that it made me not wanna play the full game. Oh well.
Demos can do that, that's why you see less of them these days.
It's also been revealed that you won't get the full ending until you play both Leon's and Claire's campaigns.
US PSN?
I think it's not up yet. Not finding it on the webstore.
Brilliant demo! I am so hyped for this game. Tons of memories came flooding back as I played.
The 1998 GOTY is BACK baby!

Honestly not too sure. Just didn't feel it. I can tell it's a high quality game but it just isn't for me. One thing I know is that I'm just not someone who likes hunting down items to open doors and stuff.
Just finished demo
Game plays great
Graphically impressive
Environment feels right
Colors are kinda too bright for my taste
Guns felt good and feedback felt good
Story feels more fleshed out.
I want to play more for sure

I didn't know that. Another reason to play as both of them. :)
The deluxe edition DLC adds this (apparently the DLC is available as a separate download if you have the regular edition).
I downloaded the demo from the PS4 NZ store but I played with my MX main account. Can I play with the NZ account and connecting to the RE.NET? I worry it can flag something negative to my main account lol
haha they are adding a voice as DLC?
I have the regular pre-ordered. So lets see.
You know you can skip cutscenes right?
...and I'm not sure what you mean by "drawn out"...
There aren't any forced walking & talking sections like in typical AAA western games (God Of War, Last Of Us, etc)
Capcom gives you control almost 100% of the time.
The demo is really nice, definitely a day one buy for me.
Oh yeah, did we get anything for playing the demo, or this demo is just an advertisement?

Just finished the demo this morning. If only RE4, 5, and 6 had this smooth gameplay. Controls are perfect; it feels Leon has some weight and is not floating over the ground but controls are also precise. Graphics are gorgeous and atmospheric, binaural audio needs to be in every game (it's brilliant with headphones). It has this Resident Evil-esque backtracking and inventory management (well, not so in the demo, just yet). Gun feedback is cool, German voice acting is surprisingly good and in these small sequences at least exceptional. Yep, demo proved me right in RE2 being one of the very few, justified examples of pre-ordering (for PC, at my local retailer). I also never played RE2 back then more than an hour, so I'm really excited, for this is not just a (improved) revisit for me but a brand new game, story and characters.
Not on my end. Nothing's crushed or too bright. Maybe in-game settings (and its possibilities) don't line up with certain TV models, which would be rather strange.
Some puzzles are bit different and/or need you to solve them in a different order opposed to Jill's campaign.
Some people don't like cutscenes (at all) because they take away controls and this breaks immersion for them; that's probably what he meant by drawn out – you play 90% of the time, doing all the right calls etc. but your character (chose to) fuck up in a cutscene or is particularly slow you wouldn't be if you had the controls.
I don't know..
I legitimate had nightmares after I saw The Final Chapter.
God Eater 3 demo is on PSN but there is no button to download, Jesus Sony...LOL...
The game itself is fantastic, as expected, but I feel like something is wrong with my calibrations on my TV or something. It's never truly black....and I'm on an OLED. I tried turning off HDR halfway through the demo but that didn't seem to change anything (although maybe the Xbox version requires a reboot to get better results).
Also does anyone have the code for the West Office safe?

Based on the demo, is ammo plentiful enough that this will be the type of RE like those since RE4 where we will have enough ammo to kill everything we see, or will there be times we need to just evade zombies and leave them behind to dodge again later on return trips?
I just blasted through 4, 5, 6, and Revelations, where I left pretty much no enemy standing, so I really hope I can keep that up with this one.

Really? The button says Try Free Demo for me and that adds it to my cart.
I think Capcom loaded you with bullets & lowered the difficulty so anyone with at least half a brain can complete the demo....Nothing turns a casual gamer off more, than a difficult game in 2019.
RE2 Remake is NOT an action game like RE6, or RE5.
Leons abilities are extremely limited.
No 360-no scopes, no sliding across the floor while shooting, no round-house kicks, & no punching boulders.
I downloaded it just right before I went to work, so you can download it.
I read in Twitter it requires Plus. Maybe that's why you can't see it?
Tell me about it, my man cant even run without panting like a maniac.
Well, it's a remake though. I loved RE2 decades ago but how well has the gameplay stood the test of time?
