Controls are perfectly fine. You obviously haven't played the older entries (or older games in general) to claim that.

In RE4 you shoot at stuff and stuff dies (or staggers). Action-reaction. This is proper action gameplay. In RE2 you line up 2-3 headshots point blank and they dont even blink. There's even a vid showing a zombie get a point blank shotgun headshot ripping off half of his head and he doesn't even drop. This is garbage physics as well.

RE2 was already a pretty weak game compared to the first and somehow they managed to make it worse.

No joke, I was kicked out of the game because apparently i lost my internet connection. As such i lost 25 minuts of the given 30.

idk what game you played because I downed most zombies with 2 or 3 shots, unless I missed. older resident evil games zombies were pure bullet sponges .

This game goes back to the old RE setting. Not the Hollywood blockbuster of RE4 and onward.

The zombies are slow and bullet spongy even when shot in the head. That's the point! Also, Leon is a rookie without any real experience, especially considering the situation.

@swos I could ask you the same question because I needed 2-3 headshots just to make them stagger or drop once. They are incredibly fast to get back up on their feets which makes it much harder to deal with 2+.

In older RE zombies could stagger/drop with 3-4 body shots and were easier to manage. They stayed down longer so it was actually worth using a few bullets without killing.

@Yeshu The setting in RE4 was great, not hollywood at all. You're talking about the gameplay here.

RE2 uses an older setting but fails to recreate the old school gameplay of RE1-2-3 and also fails to offer a modern gameplay like RE4-5-6-7.

Leon might be a rookie but a 9mm bullet remains a 9mm bullet.

If we're going to pick about realism, we may have to ignore the giant spiders, snakes and sharks in the series ;)

There are different layers of realism. Zombies are not real but that doesn't mean you're going to see flying cars and magic.

The bullet impact is so low that the Matilda feels like a BB gun.

Played the Demo, pre-ordered the Standard Edition.

Hyped for this game.

2 pages of people talking about a game that's just talked about in abbreviation.

Resident Evil 2 "Remake"

or Biohazard 2 as it's called in several markets.

I'm looking forward to the game, and I'm not surprised that the full game is most likely going come with Denuvo or something similar, but what's with all the DRM and restrictions on the demo? Like... why? It's pretty much just advertising for the full game, why would they limit it like that? Remember when demos were completely DRM-free and available from various websites, and you could copy and pass them around as much as you liked? Ah, good times.

Also, as far as I know the demo for Resident Evil 7 didn't have any of these restrictions and limitations.

When the Resident Evil series adopted an over the shoulder perspective, the aiming grew more complex. RE4 allowed players to shoot through windows, engage in long range combat, knock throwing weapons out of the air, and use environmental hazards such as explosive barrels and pitfalls. The demo doesn't really show off how it takes advantage of the new perspective, and as a result the world feels like a cardboard set that can't be interacted with outside of a scripted button prompt.

I'll say this for Capcom though, they're clever. A 30 minutes demo, one try and it's inaccessible? Gives players just enough time to be dazzled by the visuals. They won't have time to peek under the hood.

@CharlesGrey The free demo did have Denuvo included so I think it's safe to assume that the full game will.

@markrichardb Well said. This game uses a more complex control scheme but fails to exploit it's potential. What's the point of free aim if the game doesn't reward your headshots.

Why preorder before learning if the game wont have some technical issues??

it's a demo. and what new perspectives are there in 2019?
"long range combat, knock throwing weapons out of the air"
what? you're mostly fighting and avoiding mutated people and creatures. the zombies being invalid beings relying on their most innate instincts, feeding, and the creatures almost doing the same; except being created just to kill.
