So anyone actually play yet besides me? 
As I was sayin' the other thread, you cannot strafe in this game, and that really hurts the gameplay. You can't even move once you aim your weapon, it makes it real tough to get around corners where enemies are waiting. The c-stick used for looking around also feels very limited, and not very useful.
The view is also something that bothers me a bit, it feels TOO close to the guy, it feels like he blocks too much and walking around is kind of a pain. I wish it could have been zoomed out a bit more, and when you go to aim your weapon, it would zoom in more over the shoulder. As it stands now though, you are constantly looking everywhere and it makes you feel a little ill. 
The graphics are pretty top-notch, a little bit short of what we were led to believe from videos, but they are still great.
Sound is eerie so far, only one part have I been disappointed, I was waiting outside a group of enemies and they kept looping like the same three sounds, was a little silly. Otherwise we have people yelling, dogs howling in the background, crows doing what crows do, it's a very spooky environment.
The game has succesfully scared the crap out of me already.
***Small spoiler ahead***
There was a part with four trees blocking a path, I saw some trip wire between the 1st and 2nd tree, and another wire between the 3rd and 4th trees. So I figured no problem, I'll just walk through the middle. I start walkin' my guy through, BOOM, big bear trap snapped my leg. Almost dropped my controller on that one..
***End spoiler***
When you find hostile locals they yell some nonsense at you and hulk toward you angrily, definately is not a friendly place and maintains its scary environment, especially when you here certain guys tossing hatchets at you while you're dealing with a guy wielding a pitchfork in front of you.
The surroundings are very well done, bodies hung up everywhere, rotten food, nasty water, run down houses everywhere, lots of burning decay out in some shady lookin' woods.
The gameplay is pretty decent, feels like your basic walk around, investigate objects, and shoot people. You hold down your right trigger button to aim your gun and it's pretty cool you can shoot people in the legs to make them stumble, or you can just aim for the head to blow it off and put 'em out. They react to where you shoot them, if you hit them in the shoulder they are thrown back, in the head they are just really blown back and turned around, in the knees their legs collapse. There is some wierd kicking thing you can do that I haven't quite figured out yet, but when you have like 6 crazed locals with axes and pitchforks coming at you, you can kick one of them and he'll go crashing into the guys behind him and knock them all down, this will give you some time to figure out what you need to do.
There are also action things you can do around certain objects, like jump through windows - essentially leaping into the fray. It's also very creeping to see the crazed local folk come leaping out of windows at you. In most situations you will not be able to stand and fire, you're going to be running around looking for ways out of some terrible situations. This is where the clunky controlls also seem to hurt you, the game is very playable though.
The story seems a little bland so far, seems the people are behind some evil cult leader or something, president's daughter is kidnapped.. ok? Doesn't really fit the scheme, but we'll see where it goes.
All in all, so far this game is excellent, the graphics are great, the gameplay is much improved over old style RE games, and despite some control clunkiness and limitations, the game is really kicking ass, really living up to the expectations.
