As you know (and maybe have already played), the Resident Evil 5 demo has already landed in Japan. This is too high-profile of a game to keep under wraps, Capcom. Gamers are going to play this if they can.
This begs the question: why not just release that same demo here? Multiplayer wondered the same thing, asking Capcom the very same question. It seems that complications have held up the demo. What complications? Forgot how to copy and paste?
Sorry, I know it's not that simple.
Capcom did tell Multiplayer that a demo is scheduled for "early 2009." Well, I'd hope so -- the game comes out in March!

I really liked it although the split screen is retarded.
You can't be sighned into live while playing though or it won't load.
I was so glad i jumped on this early, as the demo itself is short and nothing much beyond the trailers and gameplay reveal teasers of real gameplay. Co-Op is nice but sadly unless they march/lag behind ahead it sometimes feels like no one is there.
Great game but people will ultimately be disappointed.
Yeah, people really need to slow down and leran to appreciate games, for once. Expectations should be high, but at the same time allowed to be met.
Can't wait Capcom, yet I can...
I will play the damn demo when I do.
I really can't wait, Capcom. Hurry, dammit! ;)
