  • Resident Evil 5 japanese demo

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Men with Chainsaws kill me. Also I still can't move and aim. Is this awesome? Well, the graphics are awesome and once again I get to shoot people who don't look like they're from European or Asia Pacific descent. It was fun, but the controls feel antiquated and trying to get a grenade out when a chainsaw man is chasing you and the game doesn't pause makes life difficult and short.

- extraxt them
- this will get you one (1!) folder named "content"
- burn this folder to a cd
- insert cd into 360, it will show up as "mixed media"
- navigate to "my xbox", "demos"
- click & play!

Can't you use the right stick for aiming/turning?

You have to have a gold Japanese account to do that.


I wonder if the CD method can work using a USB drive. I mean, who has CD's anymore -- It's the 90's!

Yes, it's different to RE4 in that respect, but everything is basically the same otherwise. No moving while aiming (so your left analog is left limp and useless) and you still must hold the A button to run (and that means you have to only use the left analog since your right thumb is on the A button). The wii controls made the game easier, but were a step up, so it's just weird going back to a very similar iteration of the gamecube/ps2 RE4 controls.

This seems to work the same way as playing data DVDs through the 360's DVD drive (if you try a DVD-R it won't work but data DVDs will). Odd, I've never heard of this working before.

I'm curious if they can exploit it for burned games

I burned it to a dvd-r initially and it didn't work, but then I burned it to a cd-r and it did. Maybe I'm no good at using these computers, but if you can only run cds in this manner, you're not going to fit a full 30 game on there.

Yeah, I doubt too many games will fit on a CD-R.

But the Arcade ones will. They have a 250MB max

I gotta agree, the controls do feel quite antiquated and slow.
