you were all right the RE2 demo is amazingly good fun but HOLY SHIT THEY ARE NOT FUCKING AROUND WITH TEH ZOMBIES THIS TIME YIKES

So I'm expecting "oh yeah if I pop them in the head a couple times that's it they're gonna be down easy peasy and I can move on" like the rest of the early RE games and even Resi 0 and REmake 1

but no
ohhhh no
nonono

not this time fucko, the game goes

this time your piddly little "Matilda" pistol is gonna be about as much use as throwing spitballs at them. Nooo dear Leon this is survival horror now. Emphasis on Survival.

Sure you can shoot them in the head a lot, and sure it definitely does quite a bit more damage it seems, finishes them off better and quicker and more efficiently (also holy crap the deformation of the head/body parts is... kinda wild and realistic and yikes so much gore o_o;;; )

but it's still gonna take like... six shots. minimum. oh and there's no telltale blood puddles this time around.

@Nine I kept walking up and nervously knifing them after I got 'em in the head a bunch, and even though that gave me peace of mind, it made me more anxious because that knife durability was goin' down ahahaha

@Farlow oh yeah I actually really like that system tho. the blend of the Emergency Knife thing from uh... shit what resi game was it that had that... was it Code Veronica where knives were a subweapon rather than an inventory slot thing and were expendable one use get-outta-zombie-free cards? (there were also tasers too ircc)... or was that REMake where you had daggers and tasers for that, AND a combat knife??

@Farlow anyway whichever it was, I really like the fact that the knife isn't a "you always have this" thing, and there's more a chance of it breaking but it can save you damage if used smartly, or get you out of a pinch. they've really reinforced the Survival Horror aspect of it again and I WHOLEHEARTEDLY approve.
