Demento looks Fantastic - movie stills inside

I really do think this is on par with what I've seen of RE4. Definatly of the same style.
Models look the same quality, indoor textures actually seem a bit better, the lighting is nice, and the shadowing seems a bit better.

That's a good thing. :)

This game looks nice. The only thing i'm not really liking about it graphically is the animation which seems a bit weird at times going by the trailer.

This doesn't look as nice as RE4 to me, but it could just be the shots. The textures look quite a bit worse.

So a crazed retard chases you around a mansion filled with dolls?

yeah, seems that way.
anyway, i think RE4 looks better, from what i can gather from screenshots anyway. this looks good though, but damn, survival horror is already boring, i wonder how boring survival horror without guns would be.

RE4 has good textures overall, and they look better in motion, but they really aren't that different/better.

Looking through those reminded me how much I miss the old look of RE4 (which was TRULY excellent looking)...

My god did that look incredible. The current version is very good looking, but this is just way beyond what we have now. It's so good that I have to wonder if they could have held that visual quality within an actual game...

I love this shot. Favorite game shot this gen.
It makes me wish they had built this engine for indoors only.
The video of this section of the game looks amazing as well.

I agree.

In fact, had the game actually come out looking like that...I might say it is the best looking game yet created (and that includes PC). Fantastic combination of art design and technology...

Also, looking at the older videos, I swear that the game almost looks like it could have been quite creepy (a first for the series :p). The fact that they were moving AWAY from zombie action seemed to be a GOOD thing...

Yeah, just one character on screen sure looks better

Yeah, it does actually. Perhaps you should take another look at the older trailers to see what they were going for...

For one, I would have preferred it if there were VERY few characters on the screen. A sense of fear is not built from a pile of bodies...

Secondly, the actual areas shown in the older media just look far more impressive and beautiful to me from an artistic standpoint. The current game is very...brown and lacks a lot of the fine detail found in the older media.

Cut the crap, Capcom. Just call it Clock Tower 4. It does look mighty nice though. But I'm just not sure if I'll like the run 'n' hide gameplay.

is this game supposed to be scary? Because like 4 or 5 of those pics made me laugh my ass off.

How many games have you played that are actually scary? Not many, I'm sure...

Most developers just seem to have a very difficult time pulling that off...

Young girl, big boobs, short skirt. Sold!

But seriously, the gameplay seems very similar to Clock Tower 3. I guess this time you get a dog.

People are stupid. The old RE4 was an actual game. It was scrapped because it was too similar to the other games in the series. The new game actually has more detailed environments and while the characters are slightly less complex there are a lot more of them.

The only thing that looks better is the shadow of Leon. But oh, wait, the current build has self shadowing....

So you want the exact same thing from previous REs ¬¬U...

To you.

Like what? I see a lot of detail in this:

Also, the castle is the same that the old one...

Exactly

NO SHIT?!

Damn, that's pretty much the best shot I've ever seen of RE4. I've never seen a new RE4 shot that detailed before...

edit - Just looked through IGN's site. That actually IS the very best pic available (and it's even the first pic in their library). Good find!

I still prefer the look of the original showing of RE. It most certainly was not "too similar" to the older games (the trailer proves as much).
 
I think it looks good, definately not as good as RE4 though. Also, is it me or does it seem like it has a "fixed" perspective in some of those shots. Thats definately a minus as well.

*edit* - just watched the video...looks really good in motion... still not at the awesomeness that is RE4 however.
