RE5 & DMC4 VIDEOS On Resident Evil: Apocalypse Disc

[Dr.Finger]

Very very interesting.

Hi-def digest is reporting (http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Sony/Exclusive_HD_Content/Disc_Announcements/Sony_Joins_Profile_1.1_Party_with_Resident_Evil:_E xtinction_Blu-ray/1165) that the home versions of Resident Evil: Apocalypse, both Blu-Ray and standard DVD, will come with demos for both Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 on the disc in North America. This has been confirmed by Sony's Threespeech Blog (http://threespeech.com/blog/?p=728). The demos will also be a part of the Resident Evil Trilogy boxed set that releases the same day, January 2nd, 2008.

Thanks to MCV (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/28897/New-Resi-movie-to-include-RE5-and-DMC4-demos).

That's one way to get people to buy the film!

Editor's note - Capcom has come out (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/49966) and said that these will be videos, not playable demos.

Whoa....

I wasn't expecting that :) I guess I'm buying that movie after all.

[gzsfrk]

So I take it these are demos for PS3 only, and not for 360? Dang. :)

[Dr.Finger]

Well, I had it on my rental queue anyway, so this doesn't change anything for me.

[caenelgren]

That's pretty cool. I'm guessing they are PS3 demos since they are connected to Sony through Blu-Ray? Or are they PC demos? =] It does say they will be on the standard DVD version as well but wouldn't they need to make space for each console version separately?

[Grimmjow]

Come on!

You know you want to play them :)

So I take it these are demos for PS3 only, and not for 360? Dang. :)It says the demos are on the standard DVD as well, and the hi-def digest article didn't specify platform. I'm trying to get confirmation from MS that the demos will be 360 compatible.

[Dr.Finger]

Come on!

You know you want to play them :)They're demos. I can beat them both in 3 hours, tops. I don't need to buy a movie for that. :cool:

[Baron Samedi]

So here I was thinking it was the latest RE movie, but no, I looked it up...

...I think I'll just wait until they hit Live.

Hopefully that's feasible and Sony didn't pay for exclusive access (Aren't the RE movies done by a Sony production company?).

[Mr.Green]

Real demos and not trailers?

Nice!

[oldjadedgamer]

They've been doing this for years. Van Helsing and Star Wars both had Xbox demos on them. I can't remember any other movies off the top of my head but there were a few.

[Corngood]

I presume they will make it to PSN/XBL around the same time, provided that there isn't some sort of exclusivity deal in place. If there is, that would suck, selling demos is fucking weak.

[Nura]

Wait, so you get some movies aswell when you buy the demos? :P

[Krispy]

This is wrong. They will be videos, not demos. Also, it will feature a preview of the upcoming Resident Evil CG movie, Degeneration.

Edit: My source is unofficial, but trusted so I guess you can take my word for a grain of salt. I think it might be a tad early for a demo of a game to be released in 09.

[J3DI]

For it to say that the demos are on BR-DVD and Standard DVD would mean they are for both. They couldn't possibly put a Ps3 game on a DVD... right? Wouldn't the universe implode or something?

That sounds much more plausible. But now you've dashed my dreams. What a shame.

[grandepolloloco]

wait.. this is for extinction(the one that was just in the theater) not apocalypse right?

[J3DI]

... I think it might be a tad early for a demo of a game to be released in 09.

You mean like they did with Lost Planet? Its never too early... unless we're talking about Too Human.

Bah! Oh well.

[menage]

Would have been pretty quick for a RE5 demo IMO.

[Krispy]

Lost Planet's demo was an E3 build. There has been no playable demo of RE5 anywhere so it would be crazy to think we would get one with a video pack-in.

I so called it like 12 posts ago.

[Grimmjow]

BOOOO!

got me all pumped up for nothing, I will not be buying this movie. As much as I love RE, this movie was garbage.

[carnage11]

Damn! Someone needs to change the title of this thread. I just about ran out to buy this movie, luckily I hung out long enough to read the rest of the thread. Now I won't be wasting my hard earned money on this garbage movie. Wait.....Apocalypse? I already have that movie. Are you sure it's not the new movie? Extinction? :confused:

[trfe]

Those demos will be released on xbox live before the movie even comes out on dvd...don't get your panties in a wad. if i fact they were interactive demos...

Well that went from cool! to nobody gives a shit pretty quick.

[Shin-Mech-Brian]

Even supplimenting playable demos of two of my most anticipated games for 08' and 09' wouldn't make me buy that piece of crap on DVD.

[GunJ]

They couldn't possibly put a Ps3 game on a DVD... right? Wouldn't the universe implode or something?

I LOLed. Nicely done, sir.

Was thinking the same thing.

However - none of this matters now. Just trailers after all ... :D

[Sandman]

Damnit! You got me all excited ready to click over to Amazon and give RE:A an order but noooo you had to throw that part about them being videos and not demos didn't you? Didn't you?
