I played the demo and loved it! It had great explosions and was just plain sexy! It did have its flaws but it was an early demo. I still dug it. Now the trailer above has come out and this has become my most anticipated game since... well I dont know... I just hope theres split screen.

Ive also seen trailer where I think you can either be the GOW guys on the XBox and the PS3 will get the Resident Evil characters.

I cant be the only one keeping tabs on this!

Dude it's gonna be AWESOME. I can't wait to have my ass handed to me online.

I'm looking forward to the co-op BIG monster battles. I can't say I was crazy about the demo, but I still liked it a lot. Supposedly CAPCOM really listened to the fans of the 1st game while making LP2. We'll see...

Yep. There's a trailer with Gears of War characters fighting Akrid

Around dvdtalk it's just you, me, and some LP fans who're on the "Down Lo"

foxdvd · 03-30-10, 11:03 PM

Oh I will get it...played the crap out of the first one on pc...

buckee1 · 03-31-10, 05:24 AM

I was on the fence until I saw Dom & Fenix! Now I'm all in!

Ravenous · 03-31-10, 08:26 PM

Than it is our job Robo to keep the thread/hype alive!!

I havent played the demo in awhile but will when I hook my PS3 back up. I forgot how they character has the grappling hook ala Just Cause 2.

The Black · 03-31-10, 09:21 PM

Loved the demo for it's co-op play.
I'm going to love playing this with my friends!

Dean Kousoulas · 03-31-10, 09:27 PM

I read somewhere that this game is only going to be co-op, is that confirmed? I don't mind having a multiplayer mode, but if this game doesn't have a real single player mission, i'm out.

Hadn't heard that. Sucks if it's true. If so, I'm out as well.

Giantrobo · 04-01-10, 01:17 AM

I believe you can still play a Single player campaign. You will just play along AI instead of going solo like the previous LP game.

Kinda like Left 4 Dead I and II LP2 was created with Co-op and Multiplayer in mind. Especially since that's where the LP Community thrived.

I know. Most of it will be either debunking misinformation, or telling folks maybe they should go back to playing HALO 3 and Borderlands since they hate LP2 so much.

Larry C. · 04-01-10, 02:07 AM

Man I never liked the first one just cause how my character was controlled it just felt funny. I will give this one a try but the May 18th date is crowded.

That is correct. I've played the demo online and offline and you get AI assist offline. Though the AI partners only appeared during the first section of my solo playthrough. For the rest I was on my own.

Giantrobo · 04-01-10, 03:44 AM

In the demo with the big salamander thing they die almost immediately.

slop101 · 04-08-10, 10:48 AM

I hope the forced co-op in this game doesn't kill the single-player experience like it did in RE5.

Ravenous · 04-08-10, 05:22 PM

Well I did the demo in single player and I didnt see a damn person fighting by my side and I had a blast going solo. I just wish it was split screen ala Army of 2.

I want to note, I saw a commercail for this last night on ESPN, looks awesome!

Edit to add, I just saw the above trailers and HOLY SHIT!!!

I forgot to say initially that the damn demo is in 480p for me so it looks like shit... if the final game is NOT 1080i I will be severely dissapointed

RocShemp · 04-08-10, 05:55 PM

Really? The demo was in 720p for me.

The Demo has you and 3 other characters if you play Single player. But they run off to fight the Salamander and die right away.

Ravenous · 04-09-10, 02:20 AM

Well my TV doesnt do 720, so stupid Capcom makes the PS3 downscale instead of upscale for me! I dont know why some do this while others (like Burnout) will upscale. Most however (like Bad Company, Resident Evil 5) downscale everyhting to shit.

I played the demo tonight with someone online and it was awesome! We made it to the giant salamander and the damn thing ate me! I than fought it from the inside. It was full of other monsters and I was shooting/throwing bombs at what I guess was the heart. Than it shit me out...

antfarm · 04-09-10, 04:21 AM

I played the demo too and its quite amazing that flippin salamander

slop101 · 04-09-10, 11:41 AM

What demo? I couldn't find it on the 360 or the PS3?

There has been a 360 demo since last year on the marketplace. I think a new one is coming shortly.

The New VS(Vital Suits) are pretty cool too. I noticed the in one of then you can throw grenades which is new to the series. There are also new VS's that have multiple positions for co-op attacks.

Larry C. · 04-09-10, 08:09 PM

I think they pushed the release date up a week.

Giantrobo · 04-09-10, 11:19 PM

Good. This was a pre-order for me. It's rare that I pre-order.
