Whoa. Three discs! THREE DISCS! How awesome is that, i cant wait for this game. The other ones were only multiple disks because the prerendered backgrounds took up so much space, but now its fully 3D, which means this game is going to be huge!
My frothing demand for this game increases! Resident Evil 4 will own everyone.

they have DivX to compress them.
Maybe they don't want the ugly graininess that Eternal Darkness had.

Our role is to simply play the game and piss our pants from it!
So let's piss out pants together!

resident evil was one of the more scary games out there, but the silent hill series has always scared me a lot
but yeah i wouldnt doubt RE4 being 3 disks long at all- the graphics are amazing and everything is highly detaled
i cant wait to really see this game in action and see if it lives up to the hype everyone is giving it
"My frothing demand for this game increases!"
i second that motion- man ign will never live that statement down

As for the 3 disc Resident Evil 4... I am in shock. I cannot even begin to guess what all that space is being used for. They might have a whole lot of video footage for developer interviews, or for bonus features or something. But that much space should not be needed for a straight 3D graphics game. It's insane...
I am REALLY looking forward to this game now. That's like 4.5 GB of space...

join the club of superwusses!im a giant wuss when it comes to scary games, ive never played a resident evil and i dont plan to, i have eternal darkness, and i get freaked out by everything
like the statue in hte first chapter that you have to attack, i was scared it was going to come to life and the damn music in the mansion, also freaks me outand this is really annoying, because now i dont get to play stunning games like the RE series, especially i this one will be 3 discs o_O thats just cool!

Eternal Darkness was released before Factor 5 brought out the DivX technology. Besides, I thought the graininess gave ED kind of an old lcassic horror movie look.
"But i would guess it would be the textures seeing as you have to look at things from more than one angle now. "
Textures don't take up gigabytes of space, though. This is indeed a mystery- I'm hoping it's something good.

but it is great to hear this news. I hope PGC or IGN will have an article explaining exactly why we have 3 discs. (If they even know why)
Post by: rpglover on July 31, 2003, 02:46:59 PM
i always jumped up when you are investigating the mansion and the knocking and banging starts to happen
RE has its moments- i remember RE2 when the licker jumped through the interrigation room glass- that scared me to all hell
i cant wait for RE4- it should prove to be a great game with good scares

--------------------------------
Gamer: Yay! Resident Evil 4 using floppies!
*sticks in disc*
Gamer: Alright, through the first door...
Please insert floppy disc 2
Gamer: Um, ok
*Game continues*
Gamer: A zombie!
Please insert floppy disc 3
Gamer: ...
and so on and so on
-------------------------------------
And Grey, I guarantee you that it is the same video clip...It may look different because it is at a LOT better resolution than the E3 version. (edit: You know what? Looking on my old PC with my E3 files, there were two different vids shown. One was a shorter version of the longer one...You must have gotten the shorter one)
(Might as well add one neat thing...Watch the clip...See the only zombie in the clip? Rewind, and pause right as it the scene shows up. The zombie MATERIALIZES OUT OF NOWHERE! RE has taken a turn for the paranormal, and I like it!

Yeah i noticed that too. That could be a really cool aspect to the game. Instead of zombies being around corners and coming through glass/doors, etc they will just suddenly appear near you! what would be cool is if there were super zombies that could like punch through walls to try to talk to you!

I'm excited even more now, haven't seen the new trailer yet though. IGN says they have yet to release it, but the screenies they have are freakishly cool. I'm getting this for sure, no matter how scared i'll get.

MY FROTHING DEMAND FOR THIS GAME HAS REACHED UNCONTROLABLE LEVELS *head explodes*
Still 200X huh? So it might not even come out until 2005... Oh well, whatever is best for the product. This could be the best game ever made... and its exclusive to Nintendo GameCube
Post by: thecubedcanuck on September 27, 2003, 04:14:32 AM
Honestly, 3 disks, this game is going to be awesome.

I am also a wimp. Eternal Darkness hasn't really scared THAT MUCH yet (except the bathtub part). But METROID PRIME is the scariest game EVAR!
I'm going to have to do some reasearch on RE4, it looks pretty cool.

Click save as for RE4 trailer(Low, 6.5MB)
There. Hope you meant the TGS trailer, and not some new one that that I have missed

I publically declare my support for this idea.
But please, no Leon, or Tyrants, zombies, dogs, etc. I'm not interested in Tyrant's enhanced bio-organic finger weapon.

C'mon people. 3 Cube discs is only 4.5 gigabytes. Most PS2 and Box games are that size. Some (like Xenosaga) are 8 gigabytes. Having a modern game take up 4.5 gigabytes of space is no big deal.

Nah. You'd only need 3000. How about a PS1 port? It only needs 6 CDs. ;-)
