Nice, was about to post a reminder. I’ll see if I can d/l it while I’m in class and I’d be down for a bit tonight.

Dude this game fucking rips. Graphics are great (on my HD anyway) looks better than gears in my opinion. Co-op is totally awesome, having to watch someones back and distribute ammo rations between you really brings the whole survival horror thing back into play in a big way. I was scared alot, truly scared, the game is intense. Lots of close calls with a buddy coming in at the last second to save my ass when things looked over. I can’t even imagine how cool 16 players multi is going to be…If anyone here is a fan of RE4 besides me this game is great in all the best ways, but co op just puts it over the top.

Pretty much agree across the board, cept not the HD thing. Great game. Don’t judge it off the first level. It’s really good, but Shanty Town is where the gameplay shines. Both have some good replay but I’m itching for the full game hard now.

Ya me too. Shanty town is definitely the gameplay partner showcase section, but i really like the first level two because its so non stop, and you can sort of choose to work together or get separated (also its a nod to RE4 opening bit). Ya we should play online so that we dont have to split screen some time…probably going to go back and re-beat re4 while i wait for the new one now.

I should really finish RE4 now. And I totally got the RE4 vibe from the first area. It’s pretty fun, but at first a bit frustrating (we passed it pretty fast but we were like WTF did we do that right?). The sniper on the girl is pretty worthless cause they can climb every freaking wall there. Great demo though.

Yeah, that demo is freaking awesome. I’m glad i’m going to be done with school when it comes out so I can just stay at cody’s all day and play it. haha. And nothing quite beats when you knock a zombie over and you both pull out knives and start cutting like crazy while yelling “welcome to africa bitch!” That last part isn’t in the game…

LOL

Multiplayer is awesome. I also like the jerky, frantic movements that the game has. The slower pace is also key, something that makes it very different from Left 4 Dead. Me and Boughter replayed shanty town last night and we managed to pull off simultaneous kicks on chainsaw boss as the killing blow.

That simul kick was awesome. Also, awesome plan Brandon. Totally for that.

Simulatneous kicks? that’s totally rad. Ya i really like the pace a lot, it makes every action you take worth something, as the choice between reloading or firing, or running, can make a big difference with what happens to you if you don’t have much time. Also the scariest thing ever is running away while trying to heal your partner or give him or her ammo. Or if your both out and your just knifing away. The other night i jumped into a huge old pile os zombies and started hacking because brandon was trapped and then he jumped the gap and started shooting them so i could get away. Totally cool.

Oh man, that’s awesome. I love the team aspect. Also not being able to change weapons while moving is a great move. Terrifying, but great.
