Just tried the demo, and I'm not terribly impressed. It's very clearly aimed as a co-op game, due to the fact that I kept failing because my partner thought the chainsaw guy was pretty cute and kept moving in close for an instant-death cuddle. I'll never understand why survival horror games have the worst controls of any other game. If in real life I heard a zombie groaning behind me, my first instinct before peeing myself would be to spin around and jump backwards, not pivot step, pivot step, pivot step, slowly pull up weapon and fire. And Redfield's a commando who's fought a million of the things for god's sake. That's why Left 4 Dead is the hands-down best of the genre, because I was more freaked out by what was attacking me or what may be around the corner, rather than just being pissed that I can see an enemy, but I have to use some awkward pivot move to get my character to look at him, before slowly drawing my weapon. L4D was still always fun, though, because it played fluidly where you didn't have to jump on the creator's twisted chain of logic.

It's not the scheme, it's how it plays. Demos, especially console ones are almost always like the final product. The only instance where I've been proven wrong was the Bad Company beta getting drastically fixed in the final product.
