The aiming would have to be a dev shortcoming, not the thumbstick. All of your control complaints sound like improvements to me, maybe its b/c of your fond memories of RE4. I guess Im going to have to give this a try.

Goodbye for some time? Youre leaving again?

Hmm, short demo.
The inventory doesn't pause the game. Just like in Dead Space.
That's good for the scare but not so if you're clumpsy with the inventory.
But it lets you map four items/weapons to the d-pad so at least you can do some fast switching.
Aiming is not as accurate as in the old GCN versions. If that's because of the right thumbstick being used for aiming, or the design of the 360 thumbstick or because of the developers, I don't know.
Graphics are nice but disappointing considering the level of RE4's graphics on the GCN.
RE5 just isn't pushing the hardware in the same way.
Weapons are disappointing. Not the right feel.
Enemies are stupid and easy to kill, except for the tougher ones like the chainsaw guy.
Camera control doesn't feel very fluid. I much prefer to old RE4 design where you turned with the
left stick. Now you have to use the right stick for that like a normal 3rd person shooter.
Pace feels slow and the great panic feeling from RE4 never appears.
Feels much more like a normal 3rd person shooter than a survival horror game.
Overall disappointment.
Goodbye for some time.

I want to try the demo but I'm not going to get a japanese account.
I've heard that you can download the demo on a PC and burn it to a DVD and it will work on any 360.
Here's a link explaining the stuff
http://digiex.net/games-downloads/768-resident-evil-5-demo-download-xbox-360-a.html
Does anyone here know if it works or if it's just a prank?
Meh, I'll just try it out... waste a precious DVD on nothing perhaps...

UPDATE:
Hey! It actually works!!!
I'm playing the Resident Evil 5 demo.
On a European Xbox 360.
Without any mods whatsoever.
This is great!

Those fuckers... they region locked the demo... I punched in my 48 hour trial, Courtesy of Dan, and I still got a little red X over the download area. I'm gonna pick up a one-month tomorrow, but it looks like they've caught on.

I set up a new account and it gave me a free one month gold account.

I don't think you can move at all while aiming...tho I keep finding a few new things with each play through.

Yeah, sadly, you do.

Does anybody have a 48 hour trial? If so, I'll be able to do the review in a timely fashion. If not, it'll be after it becomes free to silver users.

Im PM'ing it now, Mr The_Hated.

This may be a dumb question, but I will ask anyway. Do u have to buy a second gold membership and set it up for the Japanese Region, or how do u get a Japanese Account to dl the demo?

In theory it sucks, but I got used to it in RE4 and it contributed to the game's character.

I heard you can now strafe and shoot though, is this right Johnny?

not being able to move creates tension and makes the game harder. Its in there for a reason.

Redundancy makes gameplay more enjoyable? This just killed multiplayer for me.

There are better ways to make the game more difficult without hurting the gameplay.
