this is absolutely nothing like resident evil... but i still liked it. apparently there are lots of extra things to find and multiple endings.
Can't wait for 7 to be the new 4. 
I mean I doubt it. 4 was actually something new, but also in keeping with previous REs.
This game seems nothing like previous REs and seems like every other FPS horror game thats come out in the last few years.
I'm even more surprised because this really ignores Japan where the mainline RE games have sold really well. I just don't understand this direction. It's possibly the most un-Capcom thing I've seen and I don't like it.
I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't Resident Evil at all and they just decided to slap that name on there to get more interest/sales.
The demo was OK. I didn't find it particularly scary...you're a dude trudging through a shitty old house with clutter and no enemies to fight. The 'past' mechanic of playing through the same area in a different time, by watching the VHS tape, was interesting, but then it gets annoying if you want to unlock stuff in the present and you have to go through all the slow, scripted shit in the video again just to get to something.

I hope that isn't a big part of the full game or that they let you fast-forward or something. At least you can stop watching and go back to the present at any time.
