Anyone downloading this from the Japan store?

ShaneU

I think a lot of Japanese accounts will be made today

When are we getting this in Europe (officially)? 2011 or something? :eek:

awww you need to be a gold member to download the demo

Graphically impressive. Sound is decent. Controls....... feel a little clunky.

When Chris swipes his knife (looks like something from Busse Combat) the camera zooms in on his back so you can't see the empty sheath, and then zooms back out again as soon as you let go.. and It's slightly irritating.

Create a new account... first month is free. I just downloaded it without any problem after creating a new account.

Well, the following may not tell you what you want to know.


Single play and Co-op play ( offline and offline.)

Single play is divided into two levels:

Shanty Town, which was demoed by Capcom staff a while, back, ends with the masked chainsaw guy bursting through the gates.

Public assembly starts with the cutscene that has the guy holding a megaphone, and a public beheading. He then spots Chris and Sheva hiding in a building and you basically have to shoot your way out through a gated alleyway.

After a few minutes the executioner bursts through the gates and swings at you with his axe, meanwhile the rest of villages will continue to pick off your health. Sheva will revive you a small amount,....... but i need practice it seems.

Co-op takes a moment to connect, but doesn't seem to have any lag problems. If you host, you play as Chris, if you join you play as Sheva.

You should be able to download this from the usual dodgy sites and burn it to a CD and play it on an unmodded machine. But I haven't tried it.

Whats all this about ive never heard of being able to do this, do i just burn a data disk or is there some special way of doing it ?

You just burn it to a cd-r.


Or you can just pop it on a USB key once you keep the folder structure.

I don't think those 48-hour codes work for downloading demos and DLC - they only allow online play. I could be wrong though...

Extract and burn to CD-R

Tried the new profile, set it to Japan lark, but still said it wasn't available in current location - any ideas?

brennaldo

yeah i have the same problem, i set up my location for japan but it says its not available for my location. how do i (or others with this problem) download it?

Go Back 2 posts son.

brennaldo

ok yeah il try it that way, 2 qustions though, will i need 5 different disks for the 5 parts, and can you play them from a cd-r straight on the xbox

nope Download all the .RARs extract them.


Then burn the folder "content" as the root on the disc.


Then put the disc in the 360.


Go to games library and it should be there, the play

As someone mentioned already, controlls are rather clunky. It seems more awkward to play then REsi 4 did on the GC imo.

Here is a good site to tell you how to do it.

brennaldo

im trying that but for some reason when i go to download it keeps coming up application not found when i click on find. do i have to click save instead

There in RAR format, its like a .ZIP.


You never encountered winRAR befor?

brennaldo

no cant say i have....... not really sure what to do now because this just seems like alot of hassle

There just in an archive simalar to a zipped file.


You download a program called winrar

You then right click on the file and extract. easy

brennaldo

ok il give it a try now.....

ShaneU

You can't shoot while moving, very strange.

When I put the CD in it just says mixed media disc? It's not under game library either?
