Resident Evil 5 Demo
(update 2) Demo of latest Resident Evil coming on December 5th.
(update 2) Demo of latest Resident Evil coming on December 5th.
Marked as a rumour until we get a proper translation, but today’s Famitsu magazine says something about a demo for Resident Evil 5, with co-op, on the 5th of December. This is presumably only a Japanese demo, and we’re not sure whether it’s for the PS3 or the 360, or both.
Further investigation required, then. Stay tuned.
Update: OK, we’ve now learnt that the demo will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. Sorry guys. According to IGN (who have just run a story on this) the game will feature two levels from the game’s urban setting playable both single player and online via the new co-op mode, as we thought.
Update 2: Looks like not only will the above Resident Evil 5 demo be coming out at least in America, but there’ll be a PS3 demo too, so it’s clearly not exclusive, according to ShackNews, who appear to have mistakenly quoted IGN as the original source of the news. Tut.

I thought Capcom were brown nosing Sony these days? Surely we will get the demo
I’m really looking forward to Resi 5

I think it might be just for the 360, if at all. Waiting for a translation.

I’ve had a JP account ever since I got my PS3 (along with a US and my actual EU accts), but it is hardly ever used. However when it does get used, it seems to be far better than anything in the other stores.
This is what I’ve got from the JP store. Ever.
1st time – ninja gaiden sigma demo
2nd time – GT5P demo
3rd time – Home beta invite
Although, I hardly ever use it, Im glad I never deleted it..

EVEN NOW – 2 years down the road – the PS is delt a dumm deal!
Roll on the next 10 years…
- USA looses world domination
while
- Far East are now world leaders/dictators

Well it takes a lot for me to publicly lose my rag mate, and unfortunately this news threw me over the edge.

Come on Sony. Surely you can grab this demo as well. Get your bloody mitts on it now! I’m quite looking forward to this game and really want to try it out first.

tbh, whenever something like this happens both console manufacturers lose out as i just end up grabbing it for half the price for the PC. C’est la vie.

This is great news that we get a demo of this game – it’s one of the two reasons I got the ps3. Great site by the way guys, I am one of the lurkers coming out of the shadows! Keep up the good work
