while i loved re4 you are right this is moving away from the RE feel. this one is even further than RE4 was. i guess progress has it's price. My dream would be to have this series of RE and then have something called RE Classic and it is more based on the old RE and has the look and feel of it with updated graphics, etc. but that would never fly.
I'm looking forward to RE5 though, the demo was great. Will take some time getting use to the controls again though.

guys/gals theres a reason why RE4 won GOTY back in 2005
why because the change was more than great it was "AWESOME" and imo that is what saved this franchise.
look don't get me wrong, i have and love all the RE games but that original camera view had to go.
also in both RE4 and RE5 the "survival horror" feeling is still there imo

Don't get me wrong either. I love RE4. It's a fantastic game, and one I could revisit any number of times. My problem comes from the fact that, while a great game in its own right, it is not a great Resident Evil game. It just seems to jettison the staples of the series. It makes me worried that the scary, intelligent Resident Evil games that I loved for so long are gone forever and these action shooters are what has taken their place.
I actually got more of a horror vibe out of this demo than RE4...given the tentacles coming out of heads, flying creatures and what not....

I never considered RE4 to be an "action" game... The original games were great, and I loved Code Veronica, Zero, and the RE1 remake, but honestly, they all feel EXACTLY the same. RE4 felt much more fluid and I never really thought there was an abundance of ammo in the GC version (however, the Wii controls made headshots WAY too easy to pull off). Just like the earlier games, I felt I still had to be smart with your weapons and not waste bullets... I definitely ended up running out of shotgun shells at inopportune times in RE4.
But yes, it plays differently from the old games, but just because a franchise goes into a new direction doesn't mean it shouldn't be part of the said franchise... Look at Mario and Zelda... the jump to 3D is a much more drastic change than a tweaked viewpoint/aiming system, and I don't think anyone would ^^^^^ that Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time shouldnt be called Mario or Zelda games...

Really, cause that character has tank controls too -

No actually, that's something entirely different. Mario and Zelda both maintained the same core elements of the series. They remained unmistakably Mario and Zelda games. RE4 did not just tweak the viewpoint, it completely changed the entire atmosphere, and even the genre of the series. If you compared any of the previous games in the series with 4 you would find almost absolutely nothing to indicate these were the same series.
Yeah, I have to say these controls suck, and it's really holding back a great game.

Agreed 100%! I love the classic RE games as well but the camera angles really were quite annoying at times in the eariler games. The gameplay also needed and upgrade as well. I can't tell you how awkward it was trying to dodge zombies in Code Veronica. Still it would be cool if Capcom featured an option of using classic camera view on the newer RE games as well as the over the shoulder camera view.

Correct but in Dead Space you can MOVE WHILE SHOOTING, something that Capcom and the RE team still haven't figured out. allowing the character to move while shooting doesn't necessarily make it an action game. Silent Hill allowed it, and Dead Space forced the player to move slowly when taking aim. Limiting character speed while aiming is probably the best way to incorporate the function while still keeping the survival/horror aspect intact.
I know it's been talked about ad nauseum already, but I tolerated RE4's controls because at the time I was blown away by the game's other facets, but I don't think I can be so tolerant this time around, especially when it's been 3 years.
So far, RE5 is hobbled by the controls. I don't like it.

I noticed they took out all the infected women enemies in the demo.

That's because the actor they used doesn't pump steroids. I thought he looked like Chris (face-wise) when I watched the first viral video.
