Resident Evil 4
 

OHHHHHHHH MYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

How is it only part 4? I haven't played any of the games since 3, which was Nemesis, but that was on PS1. Haven't there been more since then?

there have been many Resident evils. but 4 falls in sequence number wise. also I beleive 0 was the last one to come out (I could be wrong and it could be outbreak) so basically the resident evil number system is a little mixed... Anyway i want to pick this game up as well.

It looks good to me. *SPOILERS BELOW*

No Zombies/Umbrella though. After spanning so many games, they literally get snuffed out in a 1 minute, 25 second cutscene. There's always a chance of Capcom bringing back old plots, because I'd imagine there would be tons of people pissed if the classic RE story had no closure.

This time around, the villagers are infected with an ancient PLAGUE, not a virus. They literally have parasites in them controlling them. They are called 'Ganado' which is Spanish for cattle. It might not be the classic RE story, but the lowest score it's gotten so far was 9.5/10, which is very good. I'm looking forward to how this one shapes up. Got mine preordered from Gamestop, with all of the extras.

Okay Here is all the Resident Evil Games in order they were released

Resident Evil (Playstation)

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube) Comes Out Next Week

Resident Evil: Outbreak 2: Comes Out In March for PS2)
Resident Evil 4: (PS2) Comes out in Decemeber for PS2

This is the one with guys running around with chainsaw's and straw bags on their heads, yeah?

I have RE:Code Veronica but the contols are so screwed up in the game that I can't even get by the first zombies.You press down they go forward(screwed up shit).I like the concept but I ended up playing the devil may cry demo more then the game.Can you change the controls?

Been playing the demo for weeks now, can't wait to get the full version on Tuesday. My boss is going to pick up our store's shipment at 6am so we'll have it when we open. I'll be there to pick it up asap that morning hehe.

I also just got my gamecube component cables tonight, so RE4 + Progressive Scan = :drool:

I might get it.

Sooooooooo gonna get it, been looking forward to it for ages! Though I gotta wait till march when it was last stated it would come out over here.

I got Zelda: Four Swords to tie me over for now though, and will probably run through Metroid Prime 2: Echoes again before then.

Have the controls been fixed?

Ive been anticipating this game for so long....im not gonna go out and purchase it just because I have a problem of buying a game and not playing it till im done with another....(example: I got GTA: San Andreas and played it, Later that day I got Snake Eater and I havnt even played it) So instead im getting RE4 off Gamefly and testing it out. Then If I like it for the whole time that I have it and I can atleast stay in the story I will pick the game up somewhere.

Looks like you won't be playing another game for a long long while...

However, atleast you're better then me, who goes out and buys games at will...and because of that, I've haven't really gotten Halfway on Halo 2, The only game I've beaten since I started buying games again was MGS3 Snake Eater

Hmm, I haven't opened up my copy of Metroid Prime: Echos yet. Maybe I can try to return that to Walmart and get this for free.

It's still the whole "press forward on the stick to walk and hold B to run" deal. And they don't even give you a strafe button this time around :mad:

The camera is supposed to be better, but I can't say anything since I haven't played any of the demos

I was actually thinking about getting a Gamecube just to get this game, but I'm going to tough it out and wait for the December PS2 release.

I saw a review on G4TV (right before they took the channel off of our line up here) and it looks awesome.

Without a doubt my favorite concept is this. Do you remember how you could be surrounded by a ton of zombies, then simply go in another room and you were safe? Not anymore. The zombies will all group together and knock the door down, cut it down with a chainsaw, or whatever they feel like doing. Also, if you're hiding on a roof... they'll go find a ladder and come up after you.

RE4's AI is going to be amazing.

That's a good setup for my cool RE4 demo story. I went into one house and Leon pushed a box in front of the door to keep the villagers out. Well as he does this you hear chainsaw noises just outside. I ran upstairs (and found a shotgun) and encountered people on the roof outside. I killed them by shooting through the window; then walked over to the other window where the villagers had a ladder set up to get in. I pushed that over. I turned back around to find 3 of them coming up the stairs after me, I focused on them as I heard the ladder come back up to the window. As I was shooting at those 3 my head was cut clean off by a chainsaw :( Aparently its NOT unlikely for the chainsaw guy to climb the ladder too, lol.

BTW for those who haven't experienced it yet, the enemies are ruthless in this game. The chainsaw guys do not go for anything but the kill, you can have a completely full health bar and they'll still just cut off your head. You better be quick on your feet and quick at reloading, they don't mess around.

That brings me to one other point that I feel is a vast improvement over other RE games. You actually have a health bar in this one instead of just that little pulse meter thing. It's also a part of the HUD, you don't have to pause the game to find out how close you are to dying.

Wow, you got me wanting to go out and get a Gamecubet. Tickets go on sale for WWE No Way Out here soon... so I'll probably get one and RE4 after I get my tickets. I think I can get a revamped Gamecube for 70 - 80 bucks up at EB.

From what you just told us it really sounds like the game has a "Horror movie" kind of feel. That's what I've been looking for for years.

And along with the health bar being on screen is the next greatest improvement: YOU CAN RELOAD ON THE FLY :drool:

It took me a while before I actually figured out you could manually reload by means other than the menu. I kept thinking to myself they needed to add it before the final version then one of my friends mentioned holding the aim button and pressing B. I felt pretty stupid. It took us even longer to discover the quick turn.

I preloaded the game and since my best friend is a manager at EB Games...I got this as a gift for no extra charge...

I'm using my will power, and am going to wait till the PS2 version comes out.

Yeah, what exactly is Prgressive Scan?

:lol: that looks pretty ridiculous on the purple console. They should've put it on a black one for the display picture. Those skin things are the EB exclusive things so I won't be getting one. I work at Gamestop, we're getting an animation cel, an art book that has like a prologue to the game, and we got the demo and a soundtrack for preorders.

Its like a higher resolution so you get a clearer picture with sharper edges and stuff. Its like the DVD and video game equivalent to HDTV.

Is there any way to order that? There isn't a Gamespot in my area which sucks, and i'm a great RE Fan, and yes it looks weird on the Purple Cube, but looks great on the black and the Platinum cubes

How is this coming out for PS2 in December? Nintendo has an exclusive contract don't they?

Well, I can't remember exactly what the deal was, but things have been broken since 2003, Since A Few Resident Evil games have came out on PS2 in the last year, thoses being Dead Aim and Outbreak...

I think the agreement is, Nintendo get's first dibs on any of the Resident Evil games that are directly involved in the storyline....Either that, or Capcom knows, it will cash in on more money, making it muiti-platform...

You can get it from gamestop.com

Damn, if it was the Kit alone I would buy it, but I already got my pre-order which will be shipped to me tomorrow...Oh well, i'll be buying that on Ebay...in the near future...

I played the Demo a while back and I remember at one point I ran out of ammo and I just ran around and waited for someone to kill me.

For those who want to look at a few more things at the game that link goes to gametrailers.com where they have trailers for the game along with gameplay footage and now a 10 minute behind the scenes featurette.

FUCK. The december release is only on PS2. I got enoguh money to buy a Cube, however I need the money for a new guitar.

GAWD DAMN. DILLEMA. I NEED THIS GAME. ASWELL AS THE NEW ZELDA GAME AGZKSKZKA

I only got to play for like an hour today before I had to go to work and sell it to other people, lol. But anyway, what I played was pretty fucking great. Enemies are even smarter than they were in the demo, however you also get a lot more ammo.

In one area there are like 4 or 5 guys throwing dynamite sticks at you, but if you shoot them and don't kill them they'll light one up and run towards you taking the rest of the shots just so they blow you up on the way down.

You can't even put the controller down during cutscenes. I sat it down next to me and was watching the little cinematic sequence when all of the sudden I was killed because I didn't hit the L and R buttons. This game does everything it can to keep you paying attention and on the edge of your seat. From what I can tell (and have read) the quick button mashes like that are not always the same, so you can't really anticipate it 100% of the time.

sounds great.....I wish the mail would go a little faster so I can play it.

Yeah Same Here, I keep checking the tracking number on mine, every 15 minutes, It's on Route I think, since UPS, showed everything and it had my town and said, drop off for Develier or something like that...If it get's here in the next hour, I'll rep everyone in this topic.

Tomorrow is the day that Best Buy gets it :drool:

I've made it through the end of chapter 2-1 so far. I've been blown away by graphics and effects, not to mention the enemies lol. I've fought a couple of HUGE monster things but I'll keep things spoiler free for now. Things are getting really strange and the game seems to keep getting better.

I noticed a quality in this game that I've only ever experienced before in Half-Life 2. Just as the game feels like it might get a little repetitive, they change it up on you. Again I won't give anything away yet, but for those worrying about repetitive gameply I can say, at least thus far, you have nothing to worry about.

I was shit at any of these that I bought but I think I'll give it a whirl when I've some cash need some new games

Not sure if I've said it here before, but christ this game is hard. I finally made it out of the village sections and the game just got even harder. The boss fights however, while impressive, actually seem to be a bit easier than the rest of the game.
