...kinda.
The trailer vid is up on Xbox Live.
As far as I can tell its only on the american marketplace so far.



From neogaf:
Tons of gameplay footage.

- Has an intro by Jun Takeuchi (RE5 producer). Said he will have to take off his Resident Evil jacket for this video, that this is his "other big project".
- "Kenji Oguro" is director
- Powered by "MT-FrameWork 2.0".
- "massive change in climate which has melted the snow and created brand-new environments such as jungles."
- "story won't be focusing on one main character like in LP1"
- "have been some big changes in how the game plays"
- "players wished they had been able to take on the Akrid enemies in a co-op mode. You should be able to see our response to those requests in the trailer you just saw"
- no release date yet, won't be more info for a little while yet, "but I'm sure it won't be too long before we'll have something new to show you" (E3 duh).

Simply.

I thought the graphics were great, but mediocre gameplay and horrible story.

In the first game, I could never get passed the level where you have this huge worm looking thing with the yellow spots you had to shoot. I tried forever to beat this boss and I never could. The game was cool but I never did finish it.

Totally not interested in this. The first game was stupidly difficult in places which made playing over the same parts again and again incredibly monotonous. Nice graphics but that was about it.

One part I really liked from the video was showing Co-op monster take down, SotC style. That looked awesome. I would give this one a second shot. Not preordering by any means, but if reviews slant towards this addressing the issues of the first, then I might give it a go.

I wonder if they will change the way the game is played. I originally bought the first one only to trade it in literally 48 hours later. The fact I had to constantly pick up those heat orbs to stay alive really ruined any "fun" factor the game actually had.
