Resident Evil 5 Demo January 26th
By Dan Birlew | Posted January 14, 2009 in Industry Insider | 3 Comments »Xbox.com reports that DEMO WATCH is nearly over already, and that the two-level demo for Resident Evil 5 will hit LIVE on Monday, January 26th. The demo will be exclusive to LIVE for one week, edging out Sony.
“The demo is set within two stages from the beginning of the game—Assembly Place and Shanty Town—featuring plenty of co-operative action, shooting, hordes of bloodthirsty infected Majini enemies, and a few puzzles to round out the action.”
The demo will feature two co-op modes: two player split-screen offline and two player full-screen online.
LIVE members will most likely need a Gold Membership to download the demo. Resident Evil 5 is the most hotly anticipated game of 2009. It goes on sale in North America on March 13th. Pre-ordering a copy is strongly recommend to make sure you get to play it right away!

I can already tell this game will get some huge reviews from people. It is awesome that a demo is going out before it goes on sale.
As much as I want to play demo’s I seldom do as they tend to ruin my impressions of the full releases and the demo’s released on both the PS3 and Xbox360 don’t have a solid history of delivering on the final product which is disappointing.
I see what you’re saying. I was unimpressed by the Dead Space demo recently. But regarding RE5, I’ll definitely take something rather than nothing.
