Capcom has released a demo of Resident Evil 5, though only on the Japanese Marketplace. Here is a video of the first level, while another video showing the other one should be here later. First impressions is that the graphics are great, controls takes some time getting used to.
Update: Level 2 video added. Apparently you can turn 180 degrees, get weapons from your partner and both shoot and open barrels, which this video shows.

Shadows, lighting, effects, models, textures, & image quality are all WELL beyond anything I ever thought possible at all on 360. Even all those videos and screenshots since the game was announced do no justice at all to how amazing the game looks.
2009 is going to be an unforgettable year in gaming.
But, I Love all the african millitia themes... makes me want to go see Blood Diamond again. ; D
2009 Shooter/Adventures of the Year!
The important part for me is the co-op. Hopefully it'll be good though.
EDIT: Checked out myself, Gold only :P
something i feel would be useful, unless there is one already but just wasnt used by the player of this video, is a button to change your direction from facing forwards to facing behind you in a split second. it was pain ful to watch the player s-l-o-w-l-y turn around as there was zombies trying to kill him!!! it would improve the flow of the action too. also the guns could have more impact, the pistol was like a potato shooter.
other then that looks like it'll be a pretty good game.
The barrels explode and is one of the best ways to kill the big guy.
looks immense!
Would it benefit from WASD keyboard and mouse control?
PS. Cant wait to get my hands on it, demo and then the full game, this looks amazing.
The music reminds me of RE4, very hectic and intense, nice orchestra.
looks immense!
And i just can't see this as being "ahead of it's time" either, since it obviously build heavily on what they did with RE4.
AND YES BEFORE YOU MENTION IT, i know Dead Space was highly based on the gameplay in Resident Evil, and so on. But you see, i'm a total Resident Evil noob, i only played like 1 RE game in my entire life, so its new to me :D
RE4 was pretty much a standard shotter, everything who made the RE series where gone with this title, and RE5 is sadly even more so :/
I so wish they actually just released this game with a complete new name to not dirty the older titles down as much as they now have :/
Sure graphically and all it looks greate, but the game itself looks so uninpsired as RE4 did, it's just a shotter now, nothing more.
Awesome demo, incredible graphics, all that weighing in with a less than 500meg download. Cannot wait to take this baby online co-op when the full game hits!!
Nah, your idea of what's quality and what is not is skewed by your affection for the old games, that's what i think. If someone made a game that played like RE1 today nobody would play it.
And before you get all preahcy on my ass i do think the old RE games are good, especially for their time, but much has happened in the world of games since 96.
Run,loading,switch angle, play...and so on.
This is much better.
that franchise name was only used here to promote a new game franchise with Zombies, quite a pity in my opinion

RE4 killed the (to me) most important, most fascinating aspect of RE, the scariness
being hunted by a mob of enemies may be stressful, but it isn't even in the least scary
yes, RE needed fresh blood and yes, RE 4 was a good game,but not an RE game
