Glad that it lives up to its hype - and that the release in Europe got pushed forward one week, right at the start of my vacation.
Edit: dunno

Apparently they are working on a patch for the unreadable text on SD TV's. Hopefully they might tweak a few of the other faults pointed out as it sounds like the things that lost if points would be pretty easy to fix.
Hopefully by the time it gets release in Europe the patch will be ready.

My prediction was correct!
Definitely getting this. An advantage of waiting another month in Europe is that we sometimes get an improved version with bug fixes and things. Any chance of that with DR? |

I played (the demo) on a standard def widescreen 32" TV and had no problems with the text at all? Using normal component cables set to PAL 60Hz. Oh well...

Yeah this is next gen by virtue of just how many things appear on screen at the same time. I would actually say this is more next gen than many 360 titles whose only real claim to next gen'ness is running in a high resolution.
To me this game is built as next gen from the ground up in the game design itself rather than a polished up old gen title. |

I have rented this game and it's reminded me why I dislike single player console games. When will developers learn that replaying the same section over and over again is no fun; the save point system ruins this game. The text size bug is also inexcusable.
Resident Evil 4 restored my faith in single player console games, as it nailed the fine balance between challange/frustration and ease/boredom. It's too bad that another capcom game has shattered that faith. Beware of all of the glowing reviews and definitely rent this game before you buy it. I'm sure glad I did. |

Not only is there a horse outfit, there's also a MEGAMAN COSTUME! :D

I played the demo the other night and my girlfriend was horrified. She's a teacher, so she's against violent games.
Probably didn't help that I continuously laughed for a full 30 minutes while slaying zombies with coat hangers, baseball bats and katana blades. Then I ate a jacket potato. |

"Then I ate a jacket potato"
Hehe, nice one. Despite whatever impressions I gave by my previous rantings about save systems in general, I think I'm going to have to bag this one. Loved the demo to bits, definitely one of the best demos I've played on the system. Interesting points made by people about not bothering with the case files straight away. It sounds like the save system is only really an issue when playing through the game plot, and that there is plenty fun to had besides just trying to do that. |

Pushing a trolley along then kicking it into a crowd of zombies is fun
I wish I can do that at Tescos (chavs are like zombies)

Lets hope this sells by the bucket load and prompts Capcom to remain loyal to supporting the 360. Thank you Capcom.

I've played the demo and I can not believe that everybody is so positive about this game. After slashing a couple of hundred zombies I was bored to death. Unless you are a zombiephile I can not understand the hype about this game.

it's worth poinitng out that if you miss a bit of text and arent sure where you are meant to be going you can use the d-pad to bring up your wristwatch. You can then set a guide arrow to whichever active case you want to do.
