So as reported before, today XBox users in the US should be able to download the Resident Evil 5 demo for their gaming pleasure. If you haven't already downloaded the Japanese version and such. But you can now get it in your native land, Americans at least. But what about the week exclusive on this? There was some speculation on other sites that they would only be able to play it for a week. Well that has been a little fixed here.
Below is the press release telling when and where PS3 owners will be able to get their zombified hands on this much anticipated game. No big surprise, but on the PSN on the 2nd of February, yes that's a Monday, you will be able to download the demo and test out the differences for yourself.
With this demo, you will be able to play through two areas, Shanty Town and Assembly Place. To my knowledge these are the areas already been shown to the gaming world. But more than anything, you will get to play around with the co-op mode of this game and see how it will pan out. This is both the split screen mode as well as the cross PlayStation Network modes of play. So we'll see how that plays out here soon.
PlayStation gamers will soon be able to experience Resident Evil 5 for themselves as the intense new two-level demo will be downloadable on the PlayStation Network for the PLAYSTATION 3 on February 2, 2009. Sony fans will be blown away with the new demo that features two in-depth levels from the game- Shanty Town and Assembly Place. With hordes of enemies, two-player co-op action and a new level of intensity that will be sure to have gamers on the edge of their seat, this demo will immerse players in the Resident Evil 5 experience.
On Monday, February 2, 2009, gamers will get their first chance to jump in on the two-player co-op action that they have been hearing about. With voice chat and the option to play as either Chris Redfield or Sheva Alomar, this demo will solidify Resident Evil 5 as the must-have game for 2009. With three modes of action- single-player with AI controlled support, split-screen two-player co-op and two-player co-op across PlayStation Network- the demo will give fans an in-depth glimpse into the game a month before it launches on Friday, March 13, 2009.
Known for its terrifying enemies, Resident Evil 5 will not disappoint as the demo will feature an army of weapon-wielding infected Majini, including the gigantic hooded Majini Executioner and even the dreaded Chainsaw Majini. Players can also choose between the classic "Resident Evil"-style controls or switch to the newer "Action" controls inspired by current 3D action games.
