Wrapping up my thirty minutes with this demo now and I've got to say, I'm really impressed with the direction Capcom has been going recently with the return of their Resident Evil franchise. Even though I didn't play it myself, from what I saw from playthroughs Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was an exceptional comeback for the series, stampeding its way through the immense amount of bland and repetitive first-person horror games that have come out over the past five years or so. The story's direction went a little haywire towards the end and seemed sort of rushed at that stage, but other than that I felt it was a step in the right direction for Resident Evil games but also Capcom as a whole.
No difference with this Resident Evil 2 Demo. A return to the third-person story of Leon and right off the bat I was immersed. The atmosphere, lighting, graphics, gore, audio cues... everything is on point from the jump. Within five minutes I was already on my toes creeping down a dark corridor, pretty anxious to walk up to the next corner. Overall I'm really looking forward for this to come out. I was a bit off-put when I heard that there's going to be zero multiplayer or coop to speak of, strictly singleplayer in this day and age of the 2019 gaming industry where multiplayer is a staple - with some developers even scrapping singleplayer entirely to focus solely on multiplayer. However, there is still time for Capcom to make changes to this even though it's something I don't expect to happen. Regardless, after playing through the demo I'll take the singleplayer experience alone if that's what it ends up being. One big tip I'll give everyone before ending this... double tap.
Drop your thoughts on this down below. As well as what you think about the return of the Resident Evil franchise as a whole and what it could mean moving forward.
EDIT - Just a quick edit to say, disregard it mentioning 'demo' in the poll now that this game has been released and rank it with your experiences with the full game. This thread was originally created back when the demo had come out.
