I bought a 3DS just for this. But I won't be watching those vids I want to jump in being as blind as possible for the story.
I'm on the fence. Devil Survivor 2 and MGS Snake Eater 3D are next month, too. I liked what I played of the demo, though.
Might get it, might not. Too much stuff coming out between the 31st and the 7th, really.

Still can't get over how much the demo impressed me and hoe gorgeous it is. Not too mention the good tension (dark areas, low ammo, freaky...things) that I felt was missing from 5. Also, no I don't hate 5.
I hate that people think the whole "being unable to walk and shoot" thing ads difficulty to these games. All it really does is falsely inflate the game's difficulty by putting an unnecessary restriction on the player.
I was worried about this game because it seems like Capcom no longer has a solid idea of what they want Resident Evil to be, but I'm forever a fanboy so I had to try the demo anyway. Seems really good, and is straddling the line between RE1, 2, & 3's old-school sensibilities and RE4 & 5's modern look and feel. Hopefully the full game meets and exceeds what the demo has shown us.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 is coming out to the 3DS next month??!! Holy fuck, why didn't I see that anywhere? I loved Overclock, so DS2 on the 3DS is a surprise buttsecks to me!!
Also, yeah, not getting this. Was going to get it because I love Resident Evil (even RE5, so fuck you haters), and the Pre-order 3DS skin was too awesome to pass, but FFXIII-2 CE is coming out on the 31st (I also liked FFXIII, so fuck you haters. I'm going to make love to that 4-disc soundtrack), and I've already Pre-ordered my PSVita First Edition, which is coming out on Feb. 15. This places RE:R right in the middle, so this is a no-no.
Might get this during the summer though, when it is still $50 (Nintendo games NEVER, and I mean NEVER, drop in price.)

Restricting a players movement in a tight situation increases the feeling of dread and defencelessness, something good for a horror game. Don't bring up Dead Space, Dead Space isn't scary. There, I said it.

This game is looking better every time I see it, only 6 days before my copy ships!

My God, do I know people with sour grapes...
I sold my 3DS less than a month after launch, and I'm only now considering getting another one. After trying the demo for Revelations and the recent reveal of Spirit Camera in the U.S., I may have to bite the bullet here soon. I'm just worried that as soon as I buy one, Nintendo will announce a remodel.
@SephirothX
Not being able to walk and shoot doesn't make the game harder if the game was built around that mechanic, like RE4 and RE5 were. If something like Dead Space did it, but the game was laid out exactly the way the final version was, then we'd have a problem.

Can anyone else come up with some things to not like about this game?

Lets see....hmmm. The cut-scenes are a little grainy compared to the gameplay. Some things seem a little too shiny. Having the 3D cranked to the max looks incredible, but usually results in some heavy ghosting. I found the sound to be a little to low even with head phones. Can't change audio tracks mid-game, but that's all just nit-picking.
I was seriously impressed with the demo. Specifically the controls. I have only played RE 4 Wii edition because the usual RE controls have always been difficult for me to grasp, so I was surprised at how good the controls felt. I thought they would be terrible because it only used one stick, but it works. It was restricting enough to make me feel tense, but fluid enough for me to not feel irritated.

this looks better than any game ever on a Nintendo system, and its on a handheld ... sort of disappoint for Nintendo
Having the 3D maxed and turning the 3D depth to 'very strong' in the options succeeded in giving me my first headache with the 3DS.
"Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 is coming out to the 3DS next month??!!"
It comes out for the DS, not the 3DS, but either way, I'm sure it will be a great game.

The only thong stopping me from getting this day 1 is the price and the crazy amount of games coming out in Feb/March.
inb4 this trailer looks better than the RE6 trailer.
My complaint: I can't find a way to zoom in on Jill's shiny butt and cleavage.
Also, the demo is awesome.

I got one bad thing to say about this title: it's $50. I know the card is bigger, but that is not an excuse for charging $10 more for the game.
@SephirothX
You can't fly, ride machine-gun armed unicycles or kill enemies by walking into them either. Are these unnecessary restrictions too? It's all game design dude; you don't give the player all the tools you could possibly conceive of.
Anyway, I hope the full game is up to scratch.

I wasn't going in expecting I wanted to buy this, but I thought "Hey, free demo."
My only complaint about the demo is that I now know I want this game. (That's my wallet's complaint, but whatever.)

Theres only one simple thing any gamer needs to trigger sour grapes: Reasons.
It's not like 90% of the time reasons aren't even specific or make any sort of sense, any way.
@magnalon and jawmuncher
I decided last night I wasn't going to download the demo or watch any vids either. I did have my roommate (who's also getting the game) try the demo out and tell me how it was and all they said (as not to spoil much) was: I can see how the circle pad is going to help this.
Not that it was bad, or that it necessarily needed the circle pad to enjoy it, but because they could see how it'd improve the experience of the game. They had fun, even if they died like 3 times trying to get to the end of the demo (only to say: That was it? disappointingly at the end -they seriously wanted to play much more, lol)

One thing I didn't like: The "moiré" patterns on furniture and stuff looks weird and is hard on the eye in 3D. But maybe it's the lack of anti-aliasing. I'm not sure.
massive spoilers to be honest :\
definitely won't be watching any RE6 trailers from now on.
amazing game though :P
for those who want to see the japanese voice version :P

My complaint is why did fricking Capcom invest so much to make this game good and not have it on console or PC. I know your answer is because they want to sell the system but f that. Ur stupid Capcom. Game. Set. Match.
After playing amnesia the dark decent, any other "horror" game feels about as scary going to the zoo.
Thought the demo was great. It's even drawn me back in a couple times after the initial playthrough, something I don't often do with demos. It really does feel like the older ones just with different monsters (though I do miss the regular old zombies, oh and the crimson heads from REmake). Can't wait to get my hands on the final product, and luckily I preordered from Amazon back when they had it for $40 :P
I was REEEAALLY impressed by its graphics, but the controls made my left hand hurt. Then I tried the other control configs.
Awesome stuff over here.

My only complaint would be that the 3D had a lot of ghosting and wasn't even that noticeable. It did look good when using the scanner though.
Off topic. Sort of.
I walked away impressed with the demo my first time through on normal, then just now I played it in "Hell" difficulty and now the jizz can't stop coming out, different enemy placement, additional weapon, less ammo, less health, more enemy's, fuck I'm loving it, now I retract my statement with the 30 tries, I'm not sure if that's gonna be enough to satisfy my wait for the final product. Also switching the aiming to how re 4 and 5 were works better imo.

@SephirothX - I don't know if you've noticed, but restrictions are what makes survival horror survival horror. Action games are about empowerment, survival horror is the opposite - it removes options for feeling powerful.
They gave players the ability to move and shoot (which is unrealistic in the first place{, but guess what they took away to keep it from being RE5 all over again?
Wide open spaces. Yep, you can't just run away so easy again. Enemies stopped dropping ammo again, too. You'll have to search and get by on what you have, you're less powerful again.

I really liked the demo but if I was lookin for something to complain about I'd say the sound is the only thing I could find something to complain about. The music in the one room kept playing the "there's a bad thing" music when the remaining one was in a different room, and the shuffle noise when you're moving sounded like zombie things moving around.
@Namodacranks:
Exactly. This has to be the third time I've seen this site alone forget they were supposed to hate Capcom for some decisions they've made. It's so easy to buy forgiveness from the hardcore gaming community that I've learned to accept that big companies are literally free to do whatever they please.

I hate that it looks so good I end up getting killed just to look at the scenery. Make it look worse, Capcom so I'm less impressed and gripe that it's ugly and a waste of 3D.
So... what's up with this game looking great and every other 3DS game having jaggies everywhere? Just general launch title woes? Some Vita launch games seem to have major graphical disparities too, ranging from titles that look like upscaled PSP games to titles that look AMAZZZZING.
Anyway as someone with little interest in RE you ain't getting no sour grapes from me until Phoenix vs Layton gets localised, although it's great that you guys are getting a game that looks like the best thing since RE 4 (that shits 7 years old now, DAMN).

Having played the demo on the mercenaries cart I was disappointed that the 3d effect was still minimal in the latest demo.....this was of course until I checked the graphics option in settings and found I could set the 3d effect from normal to strong/very strong - now my eyes are melting into the action and I'm a happy bunny once more. Can't wait for this one - and the scanning is BADASS.
