Apologies to @jamesyfx and anyone who participated in the discussion thread. I tried to merge the discussion with the database entry and accidentally ended up deleting it.. I don't think I can retrieve it either

The demo was released yesterday and with it, confirmation from Capcom that it will be released on PS4 and Xbox One as well as next-gen, and a release date of 7th May 2021 which has been added to our Calendar.

Here's 30 minutes of shockingly bad gameplay footage from the recent playable Resident Evil Village demo that I recorded on PS5.

A few things to note...

This is one-shot demo, I went in completely blind and (as it will become apparent... ) it took me longer than expected to figure out what I was meant to do! Plus the combat sequence didn't go quite so well... and once it's finished, the demo is over and you're locked out for about a week.

But hey! I recorded it and it's here.. er.. Enjoy...??

Here is my gameplay of the newer Castle Demo.

Capcom graciously gave us a whole hour to explore this own, but I got through it in about 20 mins. This one is a way better video than my earlier attempt..

Enjoy!

It got a bit framey towards the end but I think that's cause I'm also capturing on the same hardware!

Edit: The footage came out really poorly, I'm sorry. But HEY it looks good in the parts where Ethan stands perfectly still..

⭐ Review - Non-Spoilery Review of Resident Evil Village

Since Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the Resident Evil series has seen some welcome changes - most important has been Capcom’s in-house game engine called the RE Engine. It’s also powered other games such as Devil May Cry 5. But it’s highly flexible, has tons of modern graphical features and it’s...

There has been a huge DLC added to this game; I've not played it yet, but it features an all-new campaign which is set many years after the main story and also features an optional third-person mode for the original game.

The latter seems quite interesting. Capcom are eager to keep him faceless though despite the third person camera... apparently, he turns his head away from the camera if you try to swing it around.
