do I need to play the demo before the main game?

[MROOD]

so Ive played only a few minutes so far

thinking if i need to play the demo, is there any connections to the demo?

any free extra stuff if you play the demo?

the demo story and the main game story is it connected?

[DarkSamus]

Not at all.

Only if you wanna see how well the game runs on your PC.

Beware, if you have a Phenom CPU you wil likely get crashes in the main game, but not in the demo.

There's no connection to the demo. Also you get a dirty coin for finishing a weird puzzle in the demo but that coin is almost useless in the game since you can find them everywhere.

Demo is simply a demo.

It's set up differently. Yes the vhs part is the same. However that's the only similarity.

The demo is all about you escaping the house. In the main game you're not trying to get out at all.

If you play the demo, which I did to test out if my system could handle it which it did only to find out that RE7 won't play on my system without crashing (basement crash which so many others are experiencing).

Be careful, just because you can play the demo does not mean you can play the retail.

As far as the story line is concerned, it pretty much allows you to play a very small part of the retail with a few exceptions. The demo tells you to escape the house which can be done quite easily.

The demo is mean't to introduce you too the atmospheric nature of the game itself along with using the VCR, and following simple steps on how the game works.

Only happens with Phenom processors so if OP doesn't have a Phenom then he should be fine. As log as his specs meet requirements of course.

I have a intel cpu so im gonna hope i dont have issues

lastly you know the game, there is multiple way to do things right? like the demo you can finish it fast and miss some things out, is that the same with the full game#? i want to experience all the endings and all the side missions and not leave anything missed, i tend to never replay a story campaign so Id want to do everything in this game (since its so short)

There are two endings, you could always save a certain point to go back and get them both. The only thing that happens differently in the game is boss fights, they can play out in different ways, but other than that and the two endings, you'll see everything the game has to offer in one play through.

That said, madhouse mode mixes things up and from what people are saying is well worth playing after you've finished the game.
