Kinda regret playing this now.
Found out where the shotgun was which is always a highlight for me in a RE game.

Interesting. Didn't know that!
So it's still possible that this is just the base Xbox with no enhancements?
Sounds like I'll be picking Claire then. I wonder if they did enough work to make these two scenarios feel distinct.
I know all about the Sherry stuff in the original but other than that I mean.
Just looking at the comparison shots, that would be my first assumption.
Trust me when it comes out, people will let you know :p
Supposed to come out in an hour or so.
I believe there's a way to see in the Xbox store if a game is enhanced or not. I don't know how though.
Demo is PS+ exclusive on PS4. Why???
Whatever. PS4 continues collecting dust and stops being my RE machine, downloading on X.

Should be available once the store does its daily refresh on 1PM EST.
It's not, I downloaded it on a burner NZ account yesterday without PSN+.
Crimson Heads would have been awesome.
I'm definitely going to start my first playthrough on hard, with headphones on.
I really hope there are new enemies, especially those Man Spiders that we're cut from 1.5. Those things looked awesome and way creepier than the Lickers.

Hope they fix the black levels in the full game, every black is grey on non hdr ps4.
I'm replaying OG RE2 lately, finished it 20+ times last month alone.
Remake Leon runs slower, lol. Didn't keep in shape since 98, huh?
Barely hear ambient music(on any sound setting) when nothing's happening(main hall theme when Leon first walks in is iconic), hope they'll fix that. Ambient soundtrack RE2 was a key point in building it's atmosphere.
Demo is very by the wire but we'll see how the flow will be in the full game. Shooting and aiming feel glorious as well as zombie design and behavior. Walking and running is floaty, I'm just used to rigid RE2 controls.

Are you talking about the X Enhanced tag? I don't believe that's definitive proof; there have been examples of that tag being applied incorrectly before IIRC.
Just finished on PS4, took me 23 minutes, 40 seconds. Thoroughly enjoyed it, I've always loved RE2 but haven't kept up with news much on this. Won't be a day one purchase because of KH3, but I will definitely pick this up.
Performed and looked great on my Pro, though several shots in cutscenes were overly blurry which I'm guessing is some over-aggressive DoF.

Nobody noticed the grey black levels in the footage before the demo because we didn't get any footage that was in actual HDR. With HDR off the black levels are better but even then they still area nearing very dark grey for me, far from pitch black. And that's with TVs brightness set to - 2.
I'm guessing this is the base Xbox and PS4 versions running in uncapped mode. Therefore the solid 60fps on Pro and X, the unfortunate side though: 900p on X vs 1080p on Pro.
Yep. It definitely is a great deal better than HDR but it's definitely not close to being pitch black. Even with TV (Q9FN) brightness lowered.
Very likely this demo isn't enhanced.
Super grey, looks washed out bad. It's the demo setting. Right when I boot the game there's black screen for a second before it loads(dashboard black screen), it is indeed black then when the game boots it switches to this awful gray even before the logo pops up. Their brightness setting don't fix it I tried. It's Capcom mess up but should be fixed in the full game.
My PS4's black levels are fine. You only need to switch to dashboard during demo to see how proper black levels should look.
If it's indeed not a enhanced demo, I find it looking pretty damn impressive for a Xbox One game. 60fps (locked pretty much) and not nearly as blurry as you would expect from 900p.
Someone asked earlier in this thread and I can't find it now. But to answer his/her question, Steam version will natively support 21:9 aspect ratio ultra wide monitor.
The demo will also offer a plethora of graphics tweak options that should allow it to support a wide range of PC configuration and visual preferences.
The demo will be released in about 45 minutes from now.
Edit: fixed typo.

Amazingly this was my first time ever playing RE2. The game initially came out while I had just graduated college and living life to the fullest, so I did not play it at the time.
I will no doubt be picking this up just based on the 30 minutes.
Anyone else play it using Atmos as the sound?
The only thing I noticed was on the XBox One X with Atmos chosen as the sound, the gun sound was really, really weak. It also seemed to happen a split second after actually shooting. I know this is a demo, and it said as much, but just wondering if anyone else with Atmos enabled noticed this issue or not?
With that said, I do have this very annoying issue where at random times my X will reset the sound settings, on reddit people believe it is a handshake issue, so I booted the demo up, realized it was not on Atmos, went into my audio settings while the game was still running and changed it, and never restarted the game. So I am wondering if that is why the gun sound was really pretty awful, or if that is just how the gun is supposed to normally sound?
That was just a super small thing and nowhere near enough to not make me pick the game up. So looking forward to playing this game for the first time. The only question is do I get it on release or wait to see if there is a price drop a few months after release. Money is pretty tight and I have a bunch of other games I am currently still playing. However truth is I doubt I will be able to wait and I will probably pick this up on Day 1, I am that excited to dive in and experience it for the first time.

Ok but seriously guys what's with this only play it once gimmick I really don't understand how you came to this decision ?
