i kinda detail the whole part i played, so if you think it might be spoiler dun read. but i dun think its spoiler-ish.
the demo starts off with two spanish guys (cops, i think) dropping leon off at this village. leon gets out and the cops seemed scared of the place, they just remained in the car. as soon as leon steps out, you take control of him, he has a handgun, knife, rounds and a first aid. the atmosphere is amazing, the place looks dead, there's fog, crows are about, trees look dead, it really takes your hearbeat up a little. the sound is really amazing, i was playing with headphones and every rustle and broken twig scared me.
controls are: behind the back camera, but a little slanted. forward and he walks forward, left and right, he turns and back he keeps stepping backwads. hold B to run, A to shoot, R to aim, start shows a map and Y brings up the item screen which is similar to the other REs. oh and Z brings up 1st person binoculars and B+back makes leon turn 180.
theres a rope/wooden bridge closeby where leon starts out, but the demo wont let you cross. so i head the other way, which is basically a path leading up to the village. on my way down there're cabins. the first one as i near it, a cutscene shows from a person's eye view, peeking thru the windows at leon. i enter and i hear a weird coughing or something, scared as hell. btw, even though its said RE4 is more action oriented, the game sets a friggin scary atmosphere just like the other REs. my heart was beating fast already with the music and the sound effects. anyway i rounded the corner and i see a dude burning something at the fireplace. leno whips out the pic and asks him if he saw the girl before, the guy just starts talking gibberish, then he pulls and axe out and i had to put him down. it took like 3 bullets in the chest. i check around in the hut and i see a bunch of skulls with flies all over. having been freaked out, i head upstairs and i find some ammo. from upstairs you can dive out thru the window to get out. before diving, i took a look with my bino and i see a guy outside with a farm tool. i tried to shoot him from upstairs thru the window, but i cant aim properly and i dun wanna waste ammo, maybe later leon can get a more powerful laser or something. i jumped out from the window and took that guy out. along the path there are a few more cabins with disgusting things inside, one has a woman nailed to the wall thru her head. .......... in one of the cabins i find some jewel thing which opens a gate that leads to the village. in the village there must be about 10 or so guys doing all kinds of stuff, fetching water, wheel barrowing, etc. you can hear one guy shouting orders at them. there's a fire in the middle and they're burning what i think is dead people. both times i entered here i died. they're too many and a handgun alone wont do. and they spotted me both times, even though i sneaked behind the buildings. i'll try see if i can get farther when i play again. has anyone gotten farther?
now for some issues. when entering a hut or rounding a corner, i was really looking for how to strafe. leon doesnt control in a way that you can sneakily round a corner and be able to open fire instantly. so the enemy will see you first before you can open fire. also about the aiming thing i mentioned, i hope there is a more powerful laser that can help you aim better from far away. also the villager that was shouting orders was saying the same thing over and over and it gets annoying.
anyway the RE4 demo kicked ass, the atmosphere is there, the graphics and sound is amazing. that cow is amazing that i saw, you can see the saliva dripping from it as it chews :lol i cant wwait for the release! ask questions if you want and i'll try answer.
