For any Resident Evil fans out there, you may already know that there is a Japan Exclusive Demo released of the up coming game Due around 1st Quarter 2009.
This has been available to Japanese LIVE users to download and, play. There was a workaround to be able to download the demo via LIVE but this has since been locked down and restricted.
However, there still is a way of downloading the demo (via PC) and burning to CD/DVD to play on the Xbox360, which I tried and does work.
The Demo is in English and has 2 playable sections of the game, and even a Co-Op mode (SplitScreen or Online). (Mine only showed offline, maybe cos I was not on Live).
For anyone who wants to give it a try, this should work on any console:
Requirements - Internet Connected PC, CD/DVD Burner, Blank Disc, Xbox360.
You can download the Demo's game files. Link Here (MediaFire, 420MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=fdf4f1773666296791b20cc0d07ba4d2e66f2dcb be596359)
Once you have downloaded the 5 RAR files, using WinRAR (or equivalent) extract the Folder "Content" (and containing files/folders) to a temporary directory.
You will need a Blank CD/DVD (I used a DVD-R), CD/DVD Burner and Software to burn the files.
Burn the folder "Content" (and containing files/folders) to the Disc. I used Nero Burning Rom 6, "DVD ISO". ISO9660+Joliet, File Length Max 31 (Level2), Char Set - ISO9660, Allow more than 8 Directories, Allow 255 Chars in path, Allow more than 64 Chars for Joliet Names.
Once done, place the disc in your XBox360, the Disc will show as a "Mixed Media Disc".
Go to the "Game Library", may have see the Demo listed under Recent (Japanese name/text). If you don't browse the "Game Demos and Trials" until you do.
Select and Play.Enjoy :miner:
Very similar to Resident Evil 4 in terms of the game play and control method, with added bonus of Co-Op or AI partner to aid you on your travels. Also new feature is the On-The-Fly Inventory, meaning you can't escape to the Inventory Screen and take you time to change a weapon or get first aid, so be quick before someone finishes you off.
