I've played it for an hour and definitely been impressed so far. I picked up REmake a couple of weeks back to 'get more into' the RE series but I couldn't stand it at all (controls + camera hurt brain so much...grrrrg). I'm happy to see Capcom take the series in a new direction, I'm not much of a fan of survival horror games but if other games make a similar switch I may have to check them out aswell.
Cloud I am especially amazed that you did not get your copy today... did you threaten to kill people then run off with the demo disc?
