CapRooney

Anyone downloading this from the Japan store?

ShaneU

I think a lot of Japanese accounts will be made today

When are we getting this in Europe (officially)? 2011 or something? :eek:

awww you need to be a gold member to download the demo

Graphically impressive. Sound is decent. Controls....... feel a little clunky.

When Chris swipes his knife (looks like something from Busse Combat) the camera zooms in on his back so you can't see the empty sheath, and then zooms back out again as soon as you let go.. and It's slightly irritating.

Create a new account... first month is free. I just downloaded it without any problem after creating a new account.

Well, the following may not tell you what you want to know.


Single play and Co-op play ( offline and offline.)

Single play is divided into two levels:

Shanty Town, which was demoed by Capcom staff a while, back, ends with the masked chainsaw guy bursting through the gates.

Public assembly starts with the cutscene that has the guy holding a megaphone, and a public beheading. He then spots Chris and Sheva hiding in a building and you basically have to shoot your way out through a gated alleyway.

After a few minutes the executioner bursts through the gates and swings at you with his axe, meanwhile the rest of villages will continue to pick off your health. Sheva will revive you a small amount,....... but i need practice it seems.

Co-op takes a moment to connect, but doesn't seem to have any lag problems. If you host, you play as Chris, if you join you play as Sheva.

You should be able to download this from the usual dodgy sites and burn it to a CD and play it on an unmodded machine. But I haven't tried it.

Whats all this about ive never heard of being able to do this, do i just burn a data disk or is there some special way of doing it ?

You just burn it to a cd-r.


Or you can just pop it on a USB key once you keep the folder structure.

I don't think those 48-hour codes work for downloading demos and DLC - they only allow online play. I could be wrong though...

Extract and burn to CD-R

Tried the new profile, set it to Japan lark, but still said it wasn't available in current location - any ideas?

brennaldo

yeah i have the same problem, i set up my location for japan but it says its not available for my location. how do i (or others with this problem) download it?

Go Back 2 posts son.

brennaldo

ok yeah il try it that way, 2 qustions though, will i need 5 different disks for the 5 parts, and can you play them from a cd-r straight on the xbox

nope Download all the .RARs extract them.


Then burn the folder "content" as the root on the disc.


Then put the disc in the 360.


Go to games library and it should be there, the play

christophicus

As someone mentioned already, controlls are rather clunky. It seems more awkward to play then REsi 4 did on the GC imo.

Here is a good site to tell you how to do it.

brennaldo

im trying that but for some reason when i go to download it keeps coming up application not found when i click on find. do i have to click save instead

There in RAR format, its like a .ZIP.


You never encountered winRAR befor?

brennaldo

no cant say i have....... not really sure what to do now because this just seems like alot of hassle

There just in an archive simalar to a zipped file.


You download a program called winrar

You then right click on the file and extract. easy

brennaldo

ok il give it a try now.....

ShaneU

You can't shoot while moving, very strange.

Elessar

When I put the CD in it just says mixed media disc? It's not under game library either?

Game Library -> Recently Played.

It should be there.

I'm might try this later but, I fear being banned again!

Your allowed to do this, sure any 360 can do it.


Not only flashed 360s.

I know, I remember the GH3 demo being like this as well.

Reading a couple of forums about it, seems ok. I'm gonna take the eternet cable just to be safe.

That doesn't work for me either - "Mixed Media Disc" which I can't access at all and nothing happens. Nothing at all added to the Game Library either ...

I created an account last week and it is gold but it says that it cant be downloaded from my location

Turns out my problem was that Toast was being stupid and eliminated the "Content" parent folder, making it the root of the disc - which makes it not work. If you burn it correctly, so that "Content" is the top level folder, it works fine. Thanks for the files, Cisk.

blobert

Got this up and running with no problems.

The graphics seem a bit wonky during the game, lots of black lines appearing, jumping around etc.

Not happening with other games so I don't think it is a problem with my settings.

Is it like this for everyone else?

Game seems good, I keep getting killed though:)

Nothing like that happened in game. When booting up it happened on the opening movie.

Dunno why people are having problems. All you do is burn the folder to a CD then insert it in your Xbox, go to Game Library, Recently Played and it should be there.

I think it has to do with the application burning the disc - like Toast on Mac OS X, assumed the top "Content" folder was the root of the disc, so it named my disc "Content" and the first folder was the "0000000" one... This didn't work. Changing the settings to explicitly keep the content folder as the top level in root worked fine...

Wouldn't stop it reporting. Every game you play on it is logged and sent to MS whenever you go online.


They're not going to ban anyone over this anyway.

It will work on any Xbox 360, there's nothing illegal, it's a free promotional demo.

It's easier to find it on a torrent site and get the whole file at once, less chance of corruption. Just make sure you burn the CD or DVD with the same file structure as the download (including the 'Content' folder)

Riesen_Meal

Deadly!

Got it going,

Kudos gents, surprised Microsoft havent clamped down on this workaround!

chrislad

Why would they? It's in their interests for demos to be freely available. If it worked with full retail games, that's an issue, but a lot of people wait to play a demo before getting a new game. This game is an exception and people want it to actually get a taste of the game, and I doubt anyone who gets this demo is getting it to see if they'll like it, as this game is going to be massive.

Rev. Kitchen

Best bet on this is to find a full file to download rather than the 5 sections and burn with nero not windows and it works fine.

I like the game but as with all resident evils i run out of ammo just as the big guy shows up

The game looks good i get a little annoyed with it being so close to the charator as he takes up half the screen and its hard to see guys attacking from sides or above/ behind etc. Once i get settled into it i think ill enjoy it think ill love the online co-op.

But why oh why do the "zombie/enemy" fellas turn to bubbles when you kill them ? Is there something in the story about that that i have missed ?

I would love if you could leave zombie bodies all over the place.
