Full year revenues for Capcom were ¥83 billion, up 11 percent from the previous year's nearly ¥74.5 billion. Net income also saw an uptick, as the publisher wound up netting ¥7.8 billion for the year, up 33 percent from the prior year's ¥5.9 billion.
Produced by series veteran Jun Takeuchi, this next-generation follow-up to the terrifying series introduces the theme of escape as its core survival instinct. As Chris Redfield (former S.T.A.R.S. member and now part of the BSAA unit), your life is in danger as you strive to complete your most dangerous mission yet in a sweltering desert colony where a new breed of evil has been unleashed. Swarms of marauding evil beings will charge at you when your pulse is racing at a heart-shattering pace. Environments will play a bigger factor than ever here, using the power of next-gen systems to create a world where terror might lurk in any alcove or shadow. Powerful lighting effects overwhelm the player with mirage movement and blinding brilliance, and even in the light of day, there is no safe haven in this Resident Evil.
Jun Takeuchi discusses the next installment in the survival horror series, explains the African setting and team's approach to combat, lighting effects.

Edit : It seems that is is not a demo, but trailer. Sorry for the mistake that the source cause.
Any thoughts on this game, has been relatively calm for awhile now. Looks a bit overvalued for a PS3 games that is going to be released on the Xbox360 as well, but with the increase install base when this game is released and good marketing, I think that sales for this game and the Xbox360 version will outstrip sales of the PS2 + GC versions of Resident Evil 4. 160-180DKP seems like a good range for this game with the current information and the success of Resident Evil 4 for the Wii.
