The Resident Evil 2 '1-Shot' demo has proven to be incredibly popular, according to statistics provided by Capcom. The publisher reckons that it's been downloaded and played 2.38 million times, which certainly sounds impressive.
Of course, we'll never know how many people tried the limited-time demo across multiple accounts, so the number won't be entirely accurate when it comes to individual players. Still, it's clearly been a hit.
Perhaps more interesting is that only 26 per cent of players actually completed the demo. We imagine most people wasted way too much time messing about with the game's zombie dismemberment mechanics. Gory stuff.
Dare we ask if you managed to complete the demo? Don't use up all your ammo in the comments section below.

Never touched it as I'll be playing as soon as the postman brings it Friday. Sounds like this is going to sell very well.
Didn't complete it but enjoyed what I played. I'm resisting the urge to play through again on another account
one of the best demo I ever play.the graphics on my ps4 pro are off the chains.word up son
I haven't watched any gameplay, cause I'll be getting it regardless. I like my experience completely spoiler free, I never played the original RE2. How does this compare to RE 7 gameplay wise? I've played 4,5,6, both Revelations and 7, I really enjoyed those.
I tried Remake but couldn't really get into it.
Played it.Loved it.Didant complete it.
Friday can't come soon enough!
Yeah, I didn't complete it either. I think I was really close but ran out of time.
Can't wait for Friday.
Yes I managed to complete the demo on my 2nd playthrough on steam. Day one for me (the ps4 version)
@Amusei Same here except I've only played 5 and 6...tried playing RE1 Remake but still stuck in the mansion near the beginning.
Great demo and a great game, can't wait for release day!!
Plus I think the one shot 30 min demo is a brilliant idea and the way to go.
I'd love to see more companies adopt this approach.
3 more days left until Thursday night at 11pm to unlock for me to play it and keep playing it all night until 8am morning
@Amusei I plays basically like the other third person shooter Resident Evil games but much tighter and MUCH better paced/tense.
Played though it 3 times and it's got me so ready for Friday, hopefully it'll be in on Thursday like my last few have been from ShopTo
@Amusei felt alot like the style of resi 4 a rev. 3rd person over the shoulder but in tight corridors and cluttered rooms just like the mansion from the 1st. Its alot darker tho and sometims the torch is all that seperates you from pitch black.
@KidBoruto Honestly you should give the rest another go. Only playing 5 and 6 is like having only played Final Fantasy II and XIII - there’s definitely better ones out there.
@nessisonett Oh I plan to...already own RE0, 1, 4, 7, and both Revelations games.
I also own those two RE Chronicles games.
@KidBoruto Did you flip that book over in your inventory screen and take the Sword key? I got stuck way back in 2002 on the GameCube, until I had that "Eureka" moment. Was lost for hours because of that oversight. 😋
@EVIL-C I'm nowhere near there, but thanks for the tip.
I took my time with the demo the first go round and didn't finish it. My curiosity got the better of me multiple times and the need to explore and examine everything took over. I ended up creating 3 new accounts just to keep playing it lol
From the small slice I played I in the demo can safely say that this is the best Resident Evil I have played to date with the exception of the original Resident Evil 2 & 3 on the PS1 and the RE1 remake. I don't ever pre-order as a rule but I sure as hell did after playing this demo!
Just 4 more days! 4 long days....
Excited and disappointed that re2 and days gone are the only games I'm excited for this year. Granted, a few games are pending a release date. Either way I really like something is brewing behind the scenes at Sony....
I played the original for so long I will probably wait until its on sale.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Alright, that sounds really dope! Thnx for the replies guys
