Right now I have it for the Xbox 360.
I will be getting the PS3 version when it comes out publicly though.

Add me to PSN - Gexx. Right now im rocking KZ2. I need someone to play COOP with in RE5 when it gets released.

There is a pretty huge "exploit" at the beginning of Chapter 2-1.

I posted it on Gamewinners as well.

I would only use it if you plan on just having fun with the game. I have two save devices so I'm playing the game through once normally, then going with the other save and just having fun.

Also, I'm really liking the game. It's not bad like I thought it would, and I've actually jumped a few times. There is one part where they have bombs rigged up, and I wasn't looking at all and ran right into one and totally blew my ass up and scared the jesus out of me.

I'm starting 3-1. I haven't played all night because I had to work, but hopefully I can get caught up today.

Unlimited money

At the beginning of Chapter 2-1, you will be in a garage with two Humvees, numerous breakable crates, and a machine gun. Pick up any items you wish, including the machine gun. End the game, and select "Yes" to overwrite your current equipment. Continue the game from the main menu. You will have gained your items, as well as the machine gun. From here you can sell the machine gun back for quick money, then repeat the process over again. This is an easy way to help upgrade your weapons early, as well as max your ammo out.

It's basically for the guys who aren't good at shooting and end up wasting all their ammo. Even though there is more than enough ammo around, you just have to find it.

You read my mind. You get the MP5 right then and there at the beginning along with a bunch of other stuff. Simple easy money.
But I don't get cheap like that until my 20th playthrough XD

And omg - the Matrix doesn't have jack :turd: on Wesker. That flashback scene was just OOOOOOMG.

Quote:
Haha, I know there are hundreds of people who are going to do the quick cheat. I was going to, but then I realized you only sell the MP5 for 200! So that would take years for me to just sit there doing it over again. Some people will though.

I need to get back to playing. I'm glad you're getting the gameplay videos. I was going to but I have no way of capturing it.

Cheers.

You've said too much! Im no longer reading this thread!

It's part of the trailers and gameplay footage already out on the internet..

Quote:
yeah most of it has been revealed online except for the end of the fight. Which I've uploaded to my Youtube (damn thing is taking forever)

you're playing the leaked 360 version omega? darn i thought you were waiting for the excitement of recieving the PS3 collectors edition oh well.. I'm almost glad I'm waiting for release since I'd still be playing K2.

On the bonus side I got an email from GAME saying I was chosen to have a free chris redfield 11" figurine as a gift alongside my pre-order. sweet!

Quote:
I was saying the day before, that even with KZ2 - I was going to do something drastic unless I got this game, and the opportunity came the next. I just had to.

I will, again, still be getting the PS3 one though.

Quote:
Same here. I'm still purchasing the 360 version, even though I have the leaked copy. I've been having a blast playing though.

Quote:
Man, I've been so hooked on the cutscenes that I've almost wanted to rush through the game just to see the next cutscene. I had to to stop playing and get some stuff done around my house today, but I think I'm at the beginning of 3-2 now? Not really sure. I'm somewhere not very far, haha.

Quote:
Yeah I'm basically exactly where you are.

I had to stop because of several things
1) I had to upload more videos, in order to do that I need to re-encode them and upload them. I can't keep playing while re-encoding because it takes some CPU power to record.
2) I'm trying not to rush through it.
3) I got other stuff to do

Quote:
Yeah, I'm basically not going to rush through it either. I want to, just for the cutscenes, but I'm spending my time browsing through the areas and getting a better feel of it. I'm used to the controls now.

On 360, what control type do you use?

Type A is similar to Resident Evil 4 on PS2.

I use Type C. I think it's the best because I can move with the L-stick, and look around with the R-stick. Also, Y is for bringing up the inventory, which is really easy and quick to get to.

I've tried them all and I think it's the best one for my style of play. I wish I had a PS3 controller and somehow used it on Xbox. I've always been a fan of PS1/2/3 controllers.

I think I'm at the beginning of the Execution Area or whatever the actual title is. I wish it told you exactly what Chapter you were on because I forget sometimes.

Also, what do you use to record/capture the gameplay? I only have a camera and a Dazzle capture card, but it doesn't seem to work well at all.

The default which I'm assuming is A

Quote:
That was 3-2 I want to say. I just finished that and past the oil refinery. I'm done for today. Going to bed while a couple dozen videos upload.

Quote:
I've tried those before, they don't work because of the lag. You need one that will output to your TV while also recording at your computer with no interference.

For this, I use Hauppauge HD PVR
