I just hope they add something new and exciting. Maybe you beat the game then you get to play as a zombie. And you have to survive humans trying to hack you up with various melee weapons.

the camera from the videos i have seen on the game seems to be more like a cinema cam- sort of how eternal darkness was- the camera will pan out, zoom in and out- but i could be wrong- but i do know that the graphics are very very good looking- i cant wait for this game to come out

I bought Code Veronica the other day, and I was QUITE happy to see what a 3D Resident Evil looks like. The camera moves on a rail, similarly to Eternal Darkness, but with the claustrophobic Resident Evil style to it. I REALLY like the camera in the game, and I seriously hope that they don't change it in Resident Evil 4.
And hi guys. I am indeed anticipating this game.

I've been in love with Resident Evil for years now... and 4 looks really great.
The Graphics look stunning and Mr. Hook (That Electrical Looking Giant holding the Hook) looks really freaky, and looks like that he will be confronting you in numerous areas in the game.
Just like what they done with RE: 3 Nemesis.

Post by: Zero_Plague on December 22, 2003, 06:45:36 PM
I like it how the area turns a blueish colour/color when Mr. Hook is around.
Maybe it has something to do with Leon being infected?
My guess is that he or someone close is going to die by the end of this game.
And Ada Wong will be returning from RE2.

I recently done a survey, and the scariest was REmake, with the most least scariest being: Code Veronica (x)
That clearly says that Fixed Camera Angles are scarier... but with RE4 it looks like that the camera will be the 'rail' effect... but still looks just as scary as REmake.

After all this time, I think Capcom just makes the controls frustrating becuase....
A) they like to toy with us (i'll get you back...one way or another....bastards)
B) it would make the game too easy if they change it to an obviously better control setting. Something similar to the "you can only hold 8 items, including ammo....oh yeah health.....welll basically every other thing that is mandatory."

Get some hot Rebecca Chambers wallpaper at the RE-launched Japanese Biohazard website. It may or may not involve playing their little flash game.

But with RE4, seeing that it now has the camera rail effect... I suppose the controlling will be alot more easier.
By the way... I am a huge Resident Evil Fan... and the day when Silicon Knights makes a Resident Evil Game is the day that I am going to shoot myself in the head.

Imagine a Resident Evil game where the main is villain is an Emperor From Hell...
It easily would not work.
2:
Capcom are masters of making people crap themselves with the way that they position their cameras, surrounding equipment, ambient noises and sudden unexpected encounters.
Resident Evil's Example: Watch the FMV from the REmake when you encounter the first zombie.
Eternal Darkness' Example: Watch a low graphiced fantasy zombie walk onto the screen predictibly as if you have played the game a thousand times.
See what I mean?

If SK did develope the next RE they wouldn't make it anything like ED, they'd make it like RE. Its not like they can only do psychological horror. If they gave a stab at the RE type of scary, I think they'd do pretty well. But why change something that works anyways....

There is no reason for SK to do Resident Evil anyway.
Capcom have been doing it for years now... and they are the ones to know how to make it work.
If SK gets their hands on developing a Resident Evil game, then they would make it too paranormal-like.
The Grapical Content that Capcom include in the REmake is perfect. RE: 0 has even better graphics... and to see them lower to par with the graphics of Eternal Darkness would not be good at all.
It is the graphics and Sound Effects that make this game one of the scariest.
EDIT:
Don't know if there is confusion about the release date or anything... but it is offical that RE4 is released in 2004.

Need I remind you that both REmake and RE:0 featured extensive use of prerendered backrounds, which requires almost no power to produce? That's why the character models looked so incredible in both game, becase nearly all the polygons on screen were on the character models. What Silicon Knights did with Eternal Darkness was nothing short of incredible, and although I wouldn't say it looked better than REmake or RE:0, it certainly impressed me a lot more. Resident Evil 4, however, in my opinion blows all 3 games out of the water and it IS 100% realtime- no prerendered anything. That doesn't mean Silicon Knights couldn't do the same thing- Denis Dyack once said that he thought the graphics in Too Human looked as good as the FMV shots we've seen before, which is pretty damn impressive.

The problem I had with SK's graphics in ED, is that the enemies looked like they were pulled out of a 60's low makeup horror show and thrown into the game with one specific colour scheme.
Like I have said thousands of times... Capcom KNOW how to scare people... as in reference to setting their camera angling, surroundings, background noise etc...
My problem is that if SK make an RE game... like a few people have said... they would not make it similar to ED... meaning that they are starting a totally knew kind of Horror Game that they have no experience in.
Capcom HAVE THAT Experience, and they know how to use that experience to create more stunning RE games.

Games that sport such complex modeling (character AND environmental) with a consistent framerate as shown in Resi4 simply haven't come in the 60fps flavor in this generation.
I also own P.N.03, Shinji Mikami's "other" game besides RE:Remake, and also looks like it's based on the Remake modeling engine, and what could be a premature/primitive version of Resi4's 3D engine. Vanessa's character model is *nicely* detailed, and the walls/floors/rooms are given a generous amount of polygons to give them the round/smooth look. Lighting is also good. But, the game came out sooner than the other "Production Studio 4" games, had horrid enrivonment texturing, color palette, and no deflicker support (hence why i deem it "premature" -- a rush job?), but in the end ran at a rock solid 30fps.
Looking at the TGS2003 Resi4 trailer from Capcom of Japan's site, Leon's movements in the "non-blurry" portions of the film are consistent with the way characters moved in video I've captured from the Remake and Resi0, which are both running at 30fps. Additionally, since Resi4's characters look comparable to those in the Remake, and the environments look more complex than those in Silent Hill 3 (also 30fps), "something's gotta give."

I have to say, even though Rebecca is annoying character in the game... she has a pretty cool wallpaper.
And the secret that Capcom has in the Biohazard 4 password section is just great... '2004'... LOL. I think we knew that from the start.

Especially near the end of the game when Wesker and Chris have that Kung-Foo battle.
But Resident Evil Zero had their frame rate going pretty well... but I still think that it was 30fps... but it could be 60.
RE: 0's cut-scenes were mostly FMV after FMV after FMV.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 30, 2003, 09:23:07 PM
Resi0 had a solid 30fps in gameplay and cutscenes. But indeed FMV was more prevailant in Resi0 than the Remake. But I like any in-game cutscene that gives me a closer look at Becca in her shorts, which were never available in default FMVs.
Post by: Zero_Plague on December 30, 2003, 11:52:56 PM
It just depends what ending you take when they have the fight. You have to let Rebecca live in Chirs' account and then once you confront Wesker there is about a ten second... maybe 15 second fight they have.

I only played the ending where Rebecca is still alive (NO Kung Fu). You however, are remembering the ending where Rebecca is already dead (yet for some reason you say one has to let Becca live in Chris' account) prior to the scene (YES Kung Fu).
Post by: Zero_Plague on December 31, 2003, 09:47:22 AM
I cant remember the other ending all that much, but I can remember Rebecca getting shot at one stage by Wesker.
Anyway, I think it is time that Capcom release another Trailer for RE4 and some more news... because I'm loosing interest in the E3 Trailer that I've watched about one thousand times.
As for the second playable character in RE4 apart from Leon, I think that it would be somebody new into the storyline... unless it plays out like RE: 3 Nemesis with just one character account but numerous swapping over... but I guess then that would have low replay value.
Oh, and to just clear up all the REmake Endings... here they all are:
---JILL'S ACCOUNT---
-Save Barry & Chris
-Kill Barry & Save Chris
-Save Barry & Kill Chris
-Kill Barry & Kill Chris
---CHRIS' ACCOUNT---
-Save Jill & Save Rebecca
-Kill Jill & Save Rebecca
-Save Jill & Kill Rebecca
-Kill Jill & Kill Rebecca
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 31, 2003, 10:08:11 AM
Put Rebecca into Resi4 as the other playable character. I say this on the grounds that I like her shorts.
If we can't have Rebecca, we'll have the next best thing with Jill in her skirt. Again, I too like Jill's skirt.
If not, get rid of Leon and put in Barry or Billy, cuz they both kick major ass.

There is no possible way that Capcom is going to put RE4 on PS2 or X-Box.
There are rumours that we are going to hear what happened to Rebecca and Billy in RE4. Hopefully Rebecca is going to be mauled by a zombie or something.
Though she had the looks, I couldn't personally stand her performance.
Especially that *thumbs up* move she always does. I swear to god I hope somebody rips off that damn thumb and shove it up her a$$.
I didn't mind Billy, but he was just thrown in to have a second playable character. He should return in RE4 to be more adapted towards the story... though I cant see how he is going to be in Europe.
We will also hear more of Ada Wong, seeing that Wesker saved her from her fall in RE2.
Hopefully we will also hear of Nicholai.
Post by: Bill Aurion on December 31, 2003, 11:34:11 AM
And what happened is pretty obvious...Rebecca reported that Billy died, while in actuality she let him go...Rebecca left the ending of RE0 to the Spencer Mansion where she was found by Chris...
Oh, and Ada didn't die from her fall because she's infected with the G-virus
Post by: Zero_Plague on December 31, 2003, 11:44:49 AM
Oh, and with that Ada Wong thing... from what I know, Wesker saved her from the fall and it is her that later gives the Rocket Launcher to Leon in the Tyrant Battle.
I cant recall any diaries or notes that mentions that she is infected. But I may of missed it.

Trust me. There is no way that Resident Evil 4 is moving over to the X-Box as well.
Capcom would never do it.

BUT, there are theories on Wesker infecting her with the same Virus that he infected himself with after he saves her from her fall though that is only a theory.
But Ada was not infected by William Birkin.

With that in mind, you also have to ABSORB each diary note so carefully for it to stick into your mind.
Like the simplist diary note in REmake is one that is written by the Keeper as he slowly mutates into a zombie, eating his friends etc...
Now the first time I read this diary... I didn't think much of it... but when other people talk about it... there is so much information behind it.
It mostly explains the first few symptoms of the altered T-Virus and how long it takes for its host to fully react as a zombie.
But if you really want to know the story so far... it is best to read a Resident Evil Sypnosis that is usually in most FAQ & Walkthrough files.
It will give you the main plot of Resident Evil.

Maybe a virus floats around from one object to another, dead peoples corpses (zombies) would be one of them.
As for RE being realistic, well it's not neccessarily "realistic", it's just that everything has a scientific explaination.

this game is sounding cooler and cooler every time something new is leaked. i'm definately looking forward to this game.
"Firing your pistol in one area will cause Zombies in another area to be more attentive (They can hear now)." very very cool.
"The blue shadow ghosts shown in the E3 build cannot be killed. They can interact with the environment and bring things in the environment to life. Everything will attack you." even cooler.
"Leon S. Kennedy is the main character; however, four other heroes from past games will also emerge." having only played the resident evil remake, i'm guessing i will need to play at least some of the other games in order to fully understand the storyline of re4. can someone who has played all the games tell me which ones are most important to the overall storyline of the series? i don't mind skipping re0 or code veronica if i wouldn't miss out on much.

I also hope you can transform for a short while into a creature or play a creature. You would control a tyrant, nemesis, etc and you would start taking out the Police team or go against your creator and your own brothers and sisters. You also get multiple weapons that are used as references from horror movies. Chainsaw(TCM), Masks(F13th/Halloween/TCM/Scream/etc), Machete(F13th), Glove(Nightmare), etc

I'm really tired now so I'll just quickly tell you about some information on a few of the many stories and characters in Resident Evil.
The truth behind the trouble: The story of Dr. James Marcus
The Abandonned Training Facility.
The Spencer Estate.
The Explicit Express.
All located in the Arclay Forest... and all victims for an upcoming outbreak.
The Training Facility owned by the Umbrella Corporation is attacked by... leeches?
The Spencer Estate also owned by the Umbrella Corporation is once again attacked by... leeches.
The Explicit Express carrying Umbrella Staff.... and you guess it. Attacked by leeches.
But why is the locations being attacked all have to be owned by the Umbrella Corporation?
Why isn't the residents of Raccoon City being attacked?
Who is this man in the white robes ordering his millions of leeches through an opera like voice to attack people... all part of Umbrella?
Even the leeches form into a human like form of some sort of old man. What is happening? Why?
There must be a reason for this... and there is.
Here it is:
Years ago, Lord Ozwell Spencer (Founder of Umbrella) mentions to James Marcus (Director of Umbrella) that it would be great if he had him as the Director of his Corporation.
Marcus agrees, but can really care less about the corporation.
He is only interested in his own field of studies... especially his study with the Progenitor Virus (Also known as the Mother Virus) .
His research grows in the it's study... and soon enough... he uses Leech DNA and combines it with the Progenitor Virus.
Results are extraordinary, and he names his creation, the T-Virus (Short for Tyrant-Virus).
As his study in his new T-Virus grows rapidly, he is suddenly met by two men.
The sly and cunning Captain Albert Wesker & the scientific mastermind researcher, Dr. William Birkin.
James Marcus is suddenly assassinated under Wesker's orders, and Dr. William Birkin takes over Marcus' research of the T-Virus.
They dump his dead body in the sewers of the Training Facility... left only to rot while Dr. Birkin takes the lead of rsearching in the virus.
But during that time... Jame's leeches that were used in the creation of the T-Virus scatter lonely through out the Training Facility.
One of the leeches (The Mother) crawls through the sewers... and finds the dead body of James Marcus.
The leech crawls inside his opened mouth... and suddenly, Marcus' internal organs are re-animated by the T-Virus infected Leech.
Marcus is back... and he only has one thing on his mind... ...Revenge.
The white robed man is another identity of Director James Marcus... and the leeches were all ordered to attack locations owned by Umbrella, only for revenge.
If we skip forward through Resident Evil right to the end... I will just quickly tell you the demise of James Marcus.
James Marcus transforms from his ordinary form into the Leech Queen where you will fight him 2 times in the game.
The first time you fight him, he is still going through transformation... so you have it easy.
But the 2nd time you fight him is a tad-bit harder.
Rebecca Chambers (Medic of STARS Bravo Team) and Billy Coen (Escaped Convict) go up against the Leech Queen as the Self-Destruct timer counts down.
They both realise that as sunlight peeks through a crack, it burns the skin off the Leech Queen.
So Rebecca tries to open the large shutter on the ceiling so that sunlight can melt the Leech Queen to death. Billy distracts the Queen as Rebecca concentrates on pulling the shutter levers.
When the shutters are open, the Leech queen squeal in pain as the sunlight beams onto her... and there is only about a minute left until the place explodes.
But the Leech Queen does not take a hint... and still tries to kill Rebecca... and manages to trap her into a corner.
As Rebecca stumbles backwards, she lands on the floor, and notices a Magnum Revolver lying about a meter away from her.
The Leech Queen approaches, and Rebecca grabs the revolver and throws it up into the air as Billy catches it on the other side.
(This part is my favourite
)Going into slow-motion, Billy shoots the revolver, and the one bullet exits the gun barrel, and slams right into the Queen's throat, making blood splatter every where.
The force of the gunshot sends the Queen flying backwards.
The Facility starts to explode... and the Queen is pushed back into the elevator shaft where she continues to fall as fire rises up through the shaft.
She falls into the flames... and that is the end of Dr. James Marcus.
So hopefully this was a brief explanation of James Marcus... one of the many Resident Evil Character's.
You can probably see why I am too tired to write out the entire synopsis of all 10-12 games. This was only a Character Synopsis let alone the whole game.
But I'll do another character tomorrow or maybe a few hours later. Just have to rest my mind for now.

It´s going to sell bucketloads of NGC´s!!!
It is thefirst free-roaming RE game, and that means there is nothing like it out there when it hit´s the market as it is exclusive to the GameCube.
Just hope Nintendo will advertise that god damn game, because it is going to ROCK!
Remember thesense of awe we all felt when playing Mario 64 and Zelda 64, for the first time? Because, these games were the first 3D incarnations of the series! It´s going to be like that this time too.
That is why it will be a real killer....

RE4 could, however, be the first RE with full-direction movement(my made-up term for movement in the style of Mario 64, etc)...

I'm also wondering if the controlling is going to be somewhat like Luigi's Mansion.
We see that in the 2nd Trailer for RE4, Leon walks forward, as his torch shines along the wall to the right of him.
Maybe the C-Stick controls one arm to move around as the Joystick actually moves Leon around.
It just reminds of Luigi's Mansion as Luigi walks around and the C-Stick moves his Vaccum around.
Anyway...
Even without new trailers coming up, this game is just becoming more interesting by the second.
I'm sure everybody has heard the old rumors of Mr. Hook (That ghost like creature) of posessing an object and using it to his advantage.
To me, that would sound extremely interesting, and hopefully it is true.
Seeing one of them dolls with the knives walk around the corner will really build up the scare factor.
But hopefully this game dosen't go on the paranormal side of things.
I just noticed it the other day, and I've mentioned it before, but at the 41 second mark in the 2nd Trailer, you can see a face take form in the blowing curtain.
It may just be coincidence, but it sure does look freaky.
Post by: Mario on February 07, 2004, 01:11:38 PM
- Zombies will not only see you but also hear and even smell you... if you take damage you bleed, and the more you're hurt the more you bleed, then the more they can smell (detect) you, and also hunt you down based on that scent unless you bandage yourself up.
Scariest game ever? Quite possibly. I'm a bit annoyed that it's coming to the US and Japan in 2004, and PAL regions have to wait until 2005, but i can wait.. i'm used to it.

I've heard about that, and hopefully it is true.
That is probablly the main thing which is going to make this game really scary.
Zombies stalking you, but you've got no idea where the hell they are.
It looks as if Capcom has also added in Patrolling Zombies to walk around at free will, not only when they see you. It shows this in the trailer as the zombie walks past the window... and is then nowhere to be seen.
I might be importing Biohazard 4 over from Japan, and then I'll just wait to buy Resident Evil 4 when it is released down here.

This game better not be on the paranormal side of spirituality.
The only thing I can guess is that Leon is hallucinating when he gets bitten too much to see all this wierd stuff.

Hallucination would be interesting, like when you lose too much "blood" you go all dizzy and wierd things happen, but that would kind of be pretty similar to the sanity effects in Eternal Darkness.. depending on how it's pulled off of course. *shrugs shoulders*
Maybe the whole game is just a dream? And when Leon wakes up he finds a book explaining everything, in his pocket, and it wasn't there before the dream. OMG.

Yeah, that usually happens with my account.
But I guess that you can just check it out on the trailer anyway. It's on the 41 second mark and it's when the curtain starts to blow.

These all relate to Biological Affairs (Genetics, viral research etc...) and are all to do with a matter of simply taking reality and altering it a little by giving Earth's scientists a huge update in Scientific Research.
That is the kind of stuff that Resident Evil is made up of.
But what I'm concerned about is that it looks like RE4 is going into the Supernatural & Paranormal areas (ghosts, spirits, hallucinations etc...) which is referred to as Psychological Horror.
Resident Evil is not meant to be Psychological Horror.
We leave that kind of stuff for Silent Hill etc....

I'd presume that your bullets would just shoot through them seeing that Mr. Hook seems not to even jolt at a bullet striking him.
But hopefully there are no ghosts in Resident Evil 4.
I can handle (and like the idea) of the Virus posessing objects (dolls etc...) to attack you... but having spirits and ghosts in this game would totally ruin Resident Evil's atmosphere in my opinion.
I don't think Capcom would put in that sort of style into it though.
Hopefully that curtain is just all coincidence... but then again... I don't know what to think of that severed deer's head.
At first I thought that it's just another object posessed by the virus... but that dosen't explain all the blood around it.
I'm praying Capcom don't do anything too stupid.
Post by: Nimbus on February 08, 2004, 01:38:41 AM
I think that Leon will get infected and slowly turn psychotic (like most infected creature do). See it as ED sanity meter.
Maybe (but I don't hope so...) the game is based on goals and time. Like find this before you'll become crazy... A kind of chemicals that slow the disease.
The only thing I really hope is that there will be a lot of NPC. I love NPC in Resident Evil.

-Resident Evil Zero
-Resident Evil
-Resident Evil 3 (1st Half)
-Resident Evil 2
-Resident Evil 3 (2nd Half)
-Resident Evil 4
It's debatable if Code Veronica is part of the actuall series... but usually I count it in seeing that it has so much vital information for you to know.
People say Capcom just named it that to save the number '4' for their future Resident Evil game, because in Japan, 4 isan unlucky number.... so I'm guessing that a character of high importance (A non-evil character) is going to die.

With the amount of detail Capcom are putting into this game, I don't think that they'll just want you to run past it all and not admire the scenery.
And the sales for this game?
I think that they are going to skyrocket.
This is like no other Resident Evil game.
Capcom have been working on this for years, and it is easily probablly one of the biggest (If not, the BIGGEST) Resident Evil game in the saga.

That is 100% correct.
There is no chance in Hell that RE4 is going to convert to PS2... and like you said, the PS2 graphics won't be able to hold it up... and this far into development, Capcom arn't going to go back and lower the graphics so that the PS2 can be capable of supporting it.
Besides, Capcom do have that contract with Nintendo of exclusivity of the Resident Evil series.
But I know someone is going to say "Then why is RE2 and RE3 ported over from the Sony?"
We are actually lucky to have them 2 games onto the GCN. Nintendo probablly wern't going to put it on at all onto the GCN... and that would mean that I'd never of become a Resident Evil Fan!!!

And I really hope they will launch the game in the US at the same time as in Japan. I fear that import will kill the US sale a bit.
(load your gun)
As much as I love the RE series, I would like it to end soon... Maybe after the RE 5. You see, I don't want it to become like Final Fantasy (that series left a bad taste in my mouth). While I was a FF freak in the snes era, I can't care less about CC. Or if it does not end soon, it must at least take another direction and in this case, there are chances (50/50) that Capcom fall flat on their face (ala DMC II).
For comparison sake: I'm really happy that Resurection is the last Alien. Even if it is better on the techno side, this movie don't really stand well compared to the previous one. See my point? Better techno != better games.
They should use RE 4 to prepare us for RE 5. Use it to tie half of the loose ends and finish a lot of character's story by either make them die, retire or settle for good with Umbrella. Then in the RE 5, just tie all the remaining loose ends in a 5 cd saga (5 characters), give us a really good ending with lots of extra (like a multimedia series encyclopedia) and finish it for good. ( I beleive that RE5 would be an awesome launch game for the N5 :-) ).
After... well, they can always start from scratch a new story with others characters, go online or hell, even remake BIO 2 and 3.
Anyone think that the series must come to an end before fading away?

No I haven't. Do Ripley's in this one? I heard so many times that she refused to take the role back. Alien VS Predator... Hummm.... Maybe. Then it's like what I was saying: take another road. RE should do the same. End it with Umbrella and get something fresh like that.

Anyway,
I dont believe that the Resident Evil series is going to finish straight away.
At the end of Resident Evil: Outbreak, we see an organization (Umbrella? HCF? Government?) create some sort of observation tower in the ruins of Raccoon City.
I can't remember what they exactly say, but all that popped into my mind when I saw it was 'Noah's Ark' because they say something about brining in another two test subjects.
I'm guessing another Breeding Ground or something that could lead to a whole new Resident Evil saga.

Now their lead researcher's gone, Wesker gone, no more Raccoon city, No more Antartic research base, no more Alexia... Is there sill an Umbrella? By the way, where is the action situated in RE4?

Yes, that would be nice. RE4 should be pimped hardcaw during RE2 the movie screenings, assuming they both come out at the same time, which they are (i think?).
I'm guessing that in order to understand and appreciate RE4 fully, i'm going to have to play RE2 and 3. Hopefully i can get my hands on them.. sometime in the next year. Having not played them makes me sad.
My frothing demand for Resident Evil 4 increases...

To be honest, personally Silent Hill, Eternal Darkness & Clocktower don't even make me flinch.
It's an enjoyable game and all.... but I don't feel that Psychological Horror really makes me get scared.
But anyway, to get back onto the subject, in Resident Evil 4, I'm hoping that we see the return of Wesker and possibly Ada.
But if there should be a villain that is going to die in this game... hopefully it will be Ada.
I personally don't think that Wesker is ready to die.
He has built up too much of a villainous matter, and once you see him go, then there will be no physical Resident Evil villain... Unless they create a new one which I'm not really hoping for.
But if the series does start coming to an end... I'd like the villainy character to die off like such:
Resident Evil 4: Ada Wong / Hunk?
Resident Evil 5: Nicholai Ginovaef
Resident Evil 6: Albert Wesker / Umbrella (NOT Ozwell Spencer)

it scared me most due to atmosphere, the house, the fog, the soundtrack..
then again i grew up being brought as a child to a small country house where my grandparents lived, and us kids would all tell horror stories of zombies, dracular, and creatures out in the woods waiting in the quiet. so this series is very much along that, specially that journey past the pool and down the path. looked right out of the land we used to go to way back when...

Matt responds: You won't have to. Game Informer Magazine has the world exclusive on the game and will blow it out in the next couple of weeks. We're under embargo until mid-March, at which point we will provide our own coverage of the pants-wettingly amazing survival horror sequel -- a title that now ties Metroid Prime 2 as my most wanted game this year.

1. They game can be played in first person or one of two new views. They are basically slight variations on a close third person camera.
2. It must be viewed in widescreen. If your tv doesn't support the 16:9 aspect ratio, the game will feature black bars on top and bottom of the screen to make sure you experience the game to its fullest on a 4:3 monitor. HDTV users, the game supports 480 progressive scan. This is needed because,...
3. In 3rd person, Leon fills the far left side of the screen. It feels like you are playing a first person shooter even withour Leon on the screen.
4. Controls are them same as before. However, health and ammo will now be onscreen.
5. Even with the old controls, the new views make it feel like an entirely different game.
Now for story:
1. RE4 takes place in 2004, 6 years after RE2.
2. Umbrella is gone and with them...the zombies.
3. Leon is hired by the president to guard his daughter. Before he can take the job, she is kidnapped and taken to a village in south america where all the villagers hunt him down in an eerie trance.
4. The worlds are completely wide open.
5. No more door animations or pre-rendered cutscenes. Everything is done in-engine.
6. Areas feature a few very brief loadtimes.
7. Enemies will react to damage done to them in places. Shooting an enemy in the foot will make them hobble.
8. Villagers are armed with sickles, axes, pitchforks, and many more sharp objects.Which they can throw at you. These are not mindless zombies.
9. You can shoot the thrown objects out of the air. If you time it right.
10. There is an action button. For instance, you can shoot an enemy and then quickly close the gap and kick them in the chest. Also to move objects in front of doors to keep villagers from you. Also to puch a ladder full of enemies off from you and more.
11. In a later level, you are in complete darkness and unable to see anything until the moonlight illuminates the villagers.
12. The villagers are smart. In later levels they get smarter. For instance, if you shoot at one, it won't continue to go towards you. It may run away and if you follow him, it could purposefully lead you to an area where 6 more await with bow guns. They are more human.
In the levels the play, the action was intense with many villagers after them. This was just the beginning of the game.
There are plenty of photos and the game looks amazing. They say it is easily the best looking cube game yet.
Very strange stuff indeed...
edit: It's true, though I believe Capcom is holding back on something...Unless they completely got rid of Mr. Hook...

As I said, I believe Capcom hasn't shown all their cards yet...I still think the villagers have been recently infected with the mother virus...(or perhaps a whole new strain)

My only downside is that the ogre creature that looks like it was ripped out of The Lord of Rings: Fellowship of the Ring seems to be a B.O.W!
Hopefully Capcom arn't going to throw in creatures from Fantasy movies.
I also thought it would of been better if the enemies were only limited.
Having all these chainsaw, pitchfork and scythe wielding enemies might ruin the scare factor of the game.
It sure will get your heart pumping when they are chasing you... but having them everywhere won't really make you jolt.
However, I cannot make comments as if I have played the game.
Hopefully Capcom will also give out a suspense game... but I just thought that Capcom did take it a little too over the top for Resident Evil 4.
Where is the quiet surroundings that give you shivers down your spine as your walking through the corridor.
That's what the 2nd trailer shows us... but by looking at these pictures... we arn't going to get them quiet moments.
So to end this reply.... I have to say that I'm pretty excited about this game... but also pretty mad about the sudden change it has taken.
My ending statement:
-This is Resident Evil 4. Not the Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
Post by: Mario on February 12, 2004, 09:32:49 PM
Judging by those screenshots, you won't really be able to see what's behind you, which adds to the fear factor, which is awesome.
That huge boss thingy looks awesome, it's actually really scary looking. In fact everything looks scary as hell. Wow. The graphics are amazing, everything is just... awesome. I'm speechless.
Zero Plague, i'm sure there will be quiet moments, this game seems to have everything.
Now we need videos!

Isn't the view always over Leon's shoulder in this game though? Therefore the RE controls will work fine. It will be just like an FPS. Having to use up to go forward works fine when forward is always in front of your character.

The REAL Mansion Incident - Resident Jigalo (MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY)
Post by: Zero_Plague on February 14, 2004, 12:34:22 PM
After some serious thinking, I've had a little change on my opinion.
Afterall, Capcom arn't that stupid to drastically change all of the Resident Evil storyline.
I think that Game Informer were a little too quick to jump to the conclusion of saying that there arn't any zombies or there is no more Umbrella Corporation.
Capcom might just be taking a different approach to an outbreak?
In Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, Raccoon City is already infected with the T-Virus, and most of them infected residents have already transformed into their zombie stage.
I was thinking, maybe in RE4, we actually play through the first section of the game as the virus spreads... therefore the residents are not zombies yet... but they are going through the first symptoms.
So if we all remember in Resident Evil 1, if you read the Keepers diary it shows how he slowly transforms into a zombie.
That's what I was thinking with these villagers. Maybe they to are also slowly transforming into zombies.
Anyway,
I seem to be over my stress.
Like I said before... I can't really judge this game by a few pictures which may only be showing 20 minutes of the game.

We don't really know what to expect, but I'm going with Bill on this one.
I am just going to think that they are later on in the game.
I'm sure Capcom would of never scrapped the whole thing.
They wouldn't want another imitation of Resident Evil 1.5 happening all over again.
Capcom arn't stupid, and they wouldn't get rid of zombies, the Umbrella Corportation or what we saw in the previous trailers.
Just because we didn't see any of that in the new screenshots, it dosen't mean that it's not going to be in the game.

Guys, we have seen way to little of this game to make accurate assumptions and it seems that some of you guys are taking all this speculation as fact. we don't know if there will be a spooky mansion part of the game, or if zombies have been completely thrown out. so just remember that this is all just speculation.

There has to be some information of Umbrella in this game... even if it only means them being mentioned in a diary note or something.
I won't believe that there is No Umbrella.
I guess the only solution we are going to find to end this is the game itself.
But in my opinion...
-There will be zombies
-There will be the return of the Umbrella Corporation
In Resident Evil: Dead Aim, the year is 2002... and I find it hard to believe that Umbrella has just mysteriously vanished or arn't going to be heard of at all.
They didn't even have a proper demise, which means Umbrella is still alive.
Not to mention that Lord Spencer is still alive and mysterious... and we haven't even seen him yet.
Umbrella will be in Resident Evil 4... and I know I'm safe to say that I can bet all my money on it.
Post by: Deguello on February 14, 2004, 09:46:24 PM
And about the trailer, who knows? Maybe it's later in the game, because all of the screens I have seen on the intern... I mean all the screens I found in my snappy new copy of Game Informer™©® have been during the daytime, and the trailers are at night. 3 discs eh? Noon, dusk, midnight, maybe?

Post by: Zero_Plague on February 14, 2004, 10:16:08 PM
It's either that... or this game is going to be really long.
I was hoping that maybe we could also get a Bonus Disc including Resident Evil 1.5 ... but right now, I highly doubt that that will happen.

-These villagers are infected with an entire new form of the virus. They are in the first process of turning into a zombie.(A given, imo ~Bill)
-Later on, you WILL find the real "dead" zombies.(Did you think Capcom really had the nerve to completely get rid of them?
~Bill)-Also, you will find out that Umbrella is far away from being dead. (Dun dun dun! ~Bill)
-The game is longer than any other previous RE title. (It's 3 disc long with no FMV...Hope this answers your question, MC... ^_^ ~Bill)
-Leon will meet Claire later in the game. (Yay! ~Bill)
-a new trailer will be shown at Capcom's official page in the next weeks (
Please! ~Bill)Watch Capcom's site be blasted...

If you want to know the main story, then you can check the synopsis of all the games on http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/file/biohazard.txt .
When you get into the Walkthrough/FAQ, just hit Ctrl+F and type in "bhspa" and it should eventually lead you down to the synopsis of the games starting with Resident Evil Zero and ending on Resident Evil: Code Veronica X.
It may take a while to read, but it will just give you the main background and story on the games.
Post by: Termin8Anakin on February 15, 2004, 10:14:08 AM
Another thing that seems to have been revealed is the storyline of the game:
Leon is now a US Government Agent, assigned to protect the President's daughter in South America - hence all the jungles and small villages.
I reckon the village, like the mansion, is a frontal disguise for Umbrella corp's HQ, probably underground or something.

As long as the Umbrella Corporation and it's research is in this game... then I'm happy.
But seeing that there is that large orge type creature as a boss in the game as well as the amphibious creature that we see Leon fighting, I doubt that we arn't going to be hearing of Umbrella.
Where there is a monster... there is a virus. And where there is a virus... there is Umbrella.
I'm also looking foward to this chainsaw wielding enemy that according to Game Informer, we see numerous times in the game.
I can't wait to get a weapon and absolutely slaughter that cow in the barn!

As for the news that GI does have, its not really that much. It's basically a write-up of the mission that they and other mags were shown and played through. I think there is definitely more to the story than what we've seen and heard (most of it is speculation), and I'll think twice when more "exclusives" come out because I still want to be surprised when I play it...

i highly recommend the plot analysis faq on gamefaqs.com that is written by twilde and president evil. a link to the main re faq page is here. scroll down to "plot analysis" in the in-depth faqs section. it's long (the text document is almost half a meg), but i found it extremely useful.

Can't wait for RE4, I wonder what new creatures there will be.
Maybe we'll see Wesker.
But will Leon still be infected by a virus?

Question One:
-George Trevor mentions that he was told that Jessica and Lisa Trevor visited his hospitilized Aunty on November 10, 1967. What really happened to them on November 10, 1967?
They were administered with the Progenitor-Virus
Question Two:
-Billy Coen was sentenced to death at Lexson Base. What crime did he comit?
First-Degree Murder
Question Three:
-The mysterious white robed man in Resident Evil Zero gathers his hundreds of leeches together to make a similar reprensentation of who?
Himself (James Marcus), although it was when he was at his older stages in life. He was actually younger when you first see him in the white robe.
Question Four:
-Name every single member in Alpha Team as well as Bravo Team, and mention how they died.
Chris Redfield ~ Currently Alive
Jill Valentine ~ Currently Alive
Albert Wesker ~ Currently Alive
Barry Burton ~ Currently Alive
Brad Vickers ~ Impaled with Nemesis' tentacle.
Joseph Frost ~ Mauled by the Cerberus.
Enrico Marini ~ Shot by Albert Wesker
Rebecca Chambers ~ Currently Alive
Forest Speyer ~ Pecked to death by crows
Richard Aiken ~ Eaten by the Yawn / Eaten by Neptune
Kenneth J. Sullivan ~ Throat torn out by zombie
Kevin Dooley ~ Possibly mauled by Cerberus.
Edward Dewey ~ Possibly mauled by Cerberus and thrown through train window.
Final Question for now:
-Name the creation of the overly large smart monster in Resident Evil 3. Also name where it roughly came from (Don't need to be specific) and name what it is ordered to do.
Name: Nemesis. Created in Europe (Possibly France). Ordered to hunt down every single remaining S.T.A.R.S member alive.
This is all I'll give you for now.

Lots of people also refer to him as a Tyrant, as you can see when he takes of his sunglasses, his red eyes are revealed as an effect from the unknown virus.
I wouldn't really say he has silly powers, but rather more something like he has a great strength ability.
Chances are that he'll be returning in Resident Evil 4, possibly with Chris Redfield.
But there are some unexplained interesting facts about Wesker and his relation with the HCF and epilogue of Resident Evil: Outbreak.
Quote
Yes, we'll be dropping 2 for each beginning with sample T-4, the rest will follow at 15 minute intervals.
This was taken from the ending of Resident Evil: Outbreak from one of the men that are in the observation towers built upon the smoking ruins of Raccoon City. Or What's left of it.
The next quote is taken from the Resident Evil: Remake.
Quote
2. Collect two embryos of each mutated specimens as samples, excluding the Tyrant. Dispose of the Tyrant.
That was to Albert Wesker, and all I was thinking was that the organization that is making the supposed breeding grounds in Raccoon City is the HCF, and the reason of Wesker to collect the embryo's was to make a sort of Noah's arc effect where Bio-Organic Weapons will be bred.

Question One:
-George Trevor mentions that he was told that Jessica and Lisa Trevor visited his hospitilized Aunty on November 10, 1967. What really happened to them on November 10, 1967?
They were captured by Umbrella and experimented on.
Question Two:
-Billy Coen was sentenced to death at Lexson Base. What crime did he comit?
He murdered 23 innocent people , although he was forced , the cops dont know this.
Question Three:
-The mysterious white robed man in Resident Evil Zero gathers his hundreds of leeches together to make a similar reprensentation of who?
His old former self...the younger James Marcus
Question Four:
-Name every single member in Alpha Team as well as Bravo Team, and mention how they all died.
I am not gonna answer this because it would take me forever ...and I will admit that I dont know how they all died...I can name all the members though ...but I cant be bothered.
Final Question for now:
-Name the creation of the overly large smart monster in Resident Evil 3. Also name where it roughly came from (Don't need to be specific) and name what it is ordered to do.
The monster was Nemesis , noone is sure if he is a tyrant or used making what virus ...but he is there to kill the members of Stars.
This is all I'll give you for now.

The Dorimaga published further details in its newest expenditure to resident Evil 4. Capcom confirms that the Umbrella company does not exist any longer. But that would not mean that the action would not stand in a connection with Umbrellas. One does not want to be limited however to old stories of the predecessors, because it concerns a completely new resident Evil. The publication is to take place further exclusively on the Gamecube. One will therefore convert resident Evil 4 on no other hardware of the current generation. In addition it was again confirmed that the entire diagram in the play in real time is computed and that the Survival is particularly terrible horror this time - even the developers would be afraid.
If this is true... then does this mean that there us no Umbrella Corporation?
And if there isn't, I swear to God, I would do anything to stop the production of Resident Evil 4.
Are Capcom out of their minds?
Does this mean that Umbrella has just faded away without us even knowing what the hell happened?
Someone is probablly likely to quote me, once again saying, "Don't have a fit", so I'll say now, that it is strictly MY opinion that Capcom have made their biggest mistake yet.
If this does happen to be all true: ..... A note for Capcom: You just lost lots of fans.

It's not very prudent to base your "opinions" on something that hasn't even been fully revealed yet...Instead of "OMFG CAPCOM SUXORS BECAUSE OF TEH STORY EVEN THOUGH WE DONT KNOW THE STORY HRHRHRR!" how about you stay even-headed?
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on February 25, 2004, 11:21:25 AM
Ye olden days are past, but the threatening legacy still remains. Might Umbrella be "gone" and no longer operating should not have to imply the fruits of their (and Wesker's) labor take no responsibility for the current (RE4) state of the world. The chronological gap between the lastest adventures is quite large, so a lot may have happened to simply lead to "ok, Umbrella has closed its doors. you may find the remaining stock of Hunters and T-Virus gelcaps at your local Wal-Mart. Have a nice day." I've no clue how Capcom intends to fill us in about the gap, if at all.
Update:
REHorror's news update seems to agree with my random thoughts. What were the random chances of that happening?

Nowhere in my post did I say that Capcom sucked, nor did I say that the article/news was even true.
BUT, I did say that If this happens to be true, then I'll be very annoyed and angered, but as of yet, right now, Capcom are still my heroes.
And I'll say it again. If this happens to be true... then I'm not going to be happy at all.
EDIT:
Also from reH, the webmaster states that the older trailers for Resident Evil 4 may not of been scrapped, but rather just a little "overworked".
But, I'm not saying this is yet official.

The story was too ambitious to continue... therefore they will make a whole new story where they can create just as many plot holes as they did with previous Resident Evil games.
If they wanted to hatch a new story for the games, then for the love of God, please cover up the plot holes they gave us.
Having Umbrella just vanish is completely stupid, seeing that we hardly got any hints in previous Resident Evil games that they were going out of buisness.
Akdaman1, you mention a few plot holes that Capcom never covered up... but I don't happen to see one on the Umbrella Corporation.
You could probablly relate a few of them to Umbrella... but none of them is strictly on the Umbrella Corporation itself.
By the way, you mentioned that there is a plot hole with Leon that hasn't been covered up, and you also mention that you don't blame Capcom for creating a new story because of this plot hole (And a few others.)
You do know that Leon is returning in RE4, don't you?

Yes I know Leon is in it , but put it like this
RE4 = Leon and Ada
RE5 = Chris , Claire and Wesker etc
RE6 = What ever plot wholes opened up from 4 and 5. The Plots are just opening and there is too many charecters , each charecter says that they are gonna get even with Umbrella ....but 4 years later and nothing has happened. How is capcom gonna explain all of it ? Dont forget about Gun Survivor , which had Umbrella in it , and was dated in 2002.
I believe that this next RE should not be called RE ...it should be a new series focusing around Leon being a secret agent or something.

I do agree with you that Resident Evil DOES need a change... but what I'm saying is that it is utterly stupid to just suddenly end the Umbrella corporation with no explanation at all.
Even if we get a minor explanation of how Umbrella was destroyed, then I'll be happy... but it is going to create a bigger plot hole if Capcom don't explain it.

Raccoon City did explode at the end of Resident Evil 3... but the Umbrella Corporation still lives on, as their main Headquaters are actually in Europe, and most people, including myself, believe it is in (Loire Village,) France.

Although the footage is very short (About 2 seconds) it is quite nice to play over and over again.
What I find strange is that Leon seems to be shooting people that move more like zombies then they do humans... so I'm beginning to wonder if these 'enemies' can range from humans and zombies.
By the looks of things, the short struggle Leon has with the chainsaw wielding opponent looks like a human, so it seems we are going to get a large amount of varied enemies.

Like someone pointed out in this thread, I'm thinking the humans have recently been infected with the T virus and are in the first stages of zombification- no doubt there will be varying levels of zombies in RE4.

I don't agree with the lack of lighting applied to the villagers with the torches. Since the torches act as a point-source of light, the faces of the villagers should've been lighted clearly.
Having them darkened out only makes sense if the light sources are "1-dimensional," between the viewer and the person holding the light, and directed toward the viewer, like from a flashlight, as shown in this older screen:

Post by: Zero_Plague on March 04, 2004, 07:56:10 PM
In a few of the screenshots, we can see Leon in action, pushing over ladders while the angered villagers climb up them.
One picture also contains a mansion that Leon stands by, which in my opinion, is where we meet the ghastly shadow type enemy, Mr. Hook.
It looks as if in one screenshot, some kind of explosion has been triggered off behind the villagers, unless this is just the distorted glow of the bomb fire that they surround in one of the cut-scenes.
Post by: MysticGohan24 on March 04, 2004, 09:46:25 PM
( yes I know there's gonna be hell to pay for that statement
)But has there been information yet wheather Leon is infected, scenario is still in play?
Intresting either way.
But leads me wanting more, shouldn't the NDA ended by now or shortly?
I can't wait to see footage and info, Capcom better promote the hell outta this.
I know it will sell by the bucket loads ( possibly wheelburrows )

On the official Resident Evil 4 topic, a few people mention that the trailer might be coming out on the 19th, or the 26th... but I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything too much yet... as it could be delayed or wrong information again.
But anyway, keep looking up at the official Biohazard 4 website often, as we should be getting this anticipated trailer soon.
By the way, Kingvudu, I do happen to have saved them to 'My Documents', so I could try e-mailing them to you if you wish, although they are quite big... and I'm not even sure if they would be able to be attached to the e-mail.
But try the links again. I just tried them and they seemed to work for me.

Scans of the pages will be up soon.
By the way... with that 2 second trailer and the people dancing in the background that everyone is talking about... I thought it was rather addictive and easily the best part of the trailer.
Although they really need to learn how to dance.

Hmm...
I've got them saved, so if you wanted, I could try to send them to you via e-mail if the pictures arn't too big.
But to be honest, there isn't really much in the scans. Just about an extra 5 or 6 pictures... bust most of them are just Leon walking around the town and forest.
Anyway, there has been some new information from reH under the topic name "RE4 NDA Lifted".
It includes a scan of Leon basically blowing off the upper torso of a villager with a shotgun.
Some other interesting points in there like Wesker WILL be in this game as well as clearing up the questions on the zombie matter.
The magazine mentions that the villagers are inbetween "Human" and "Zombie", so I'm pretty much suspecting that they'll be infected.
Have a look at the topic. It's got much more interesting information to look at.

how many discs is this game? two or three?
does anyone else think leon is looking way too much like jack white for his own good? except for the hair color, he's a spot-on match.
I think it's either 3 or 4 Disc, It's just that "BIG"

WTF are they filling them with?!?!?!?! First Twin Snakes is on two discs despite it only having some 5 minutes of actual FMV, and now Resident Evil 4 is rumored to be on THREE discs while Capcom has said themselves that quite literally everything in the game is real time? I'm confused! ;__;

Actually if it was entirely polygons it would take up less space and less than one GCN disc. The game was short and it took up two discs! The pre-rendered background is what really takes up the space. I'm not tech head but since the character graphics was just IMO so damn good I'm guessing they concentrated the polygons on that. The pre-rendering was a way to give it good graphics w/o actually purely using the system's power. Kinda like the reasoning behind the movies in FF games on the PSX. The system can't be that powerful to show it and since it is a disc why not?
ADDED:
I just have to express my thoughts. The game just seems so amazing already! I hope the control is better than the series. I was kinda expecting a winback with some melee combo fighting system but this interesting engine seems so cool and so easy to use! I always thought it was so damn crappy for a zombie to use a weapon. It just didn't seem to make sense but after just looking at the movies and pictures they make look really good. The zombie with a chainsaw attacking Leon is my favorite picture.

DaMa guesses that we might see the trailer on Resident Evil's anniversary, which sounds pretty understandable to me... but afterall, it is a guess.
I doubt that we won't be getting this trailer till April... but who knows?
Lets just keep fingers crossed... and hope for the best.

Nothing new... but it may be looking as if Capcom is happening to get everything on their site (possibly including the trailer) to a wonderful appearance for Resident Evil's anniversary on the 22nd.
The door opening sequence and the picture slideshow for the story do look somewhat fascinating.
Pity though that it's all in Japanese.

Today hungry and eat doggie food.' 'Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.'
Yep, everybody's favourite diary.
Anyway, with the "no zombie/zombie" situtation, some people (Including myself) had thought that all these villagers were all hosts of some sort of virus that is slowly taking them through the stages of zombification... although they are not yet zombies themselves.
Others also have theories on whether this may be a new virus by Umbrella or some other character/organization.
Personally, I tend to think to myself that the 'infected' theory is more believable, but I guess that we'll have to wait to discover.
In my eyes, I feel that the amount of overly intense action that we saw in the 36 second video clip may be too much for a "Survival Horror" saga, and may subtract the level of fear of the player... but then again, according to the numerous players of the Resident Evil 4 demo, it did seem to scare them... so I'm hoping that this game will live up to the scares that previous Resident Evil games gave us.

The chainsaw wielding maniac looks quite heart pounding... and driving that boat while chasing that Loch Ness-like monster certainly does look challenging.
Quite nice looks on how the boat just flies out of the water and capsizes. I've already watched the trailer about 5 times... and i'm still not sick of it yet.
Anyway, i'm going to e-mail a few people now on it's release, and i'll be off to watch a few more replays of it.

This has had such a large change from the original Biohazard series, and it still amazes me... and in a way... I'm actually thankful that Capcom did basically change from Survival Horror to an Action/Heart Pounding Survival Horror.
My brother, who basically isn't a large fan of the Resident Evil series (In fact, he hates all the games) felt like watching the trailer once.
And even I was amazed from what he said... because when he usually says something about Resident Evil... it's always negative.
But when he saw the trailer for RE4, he said "Hey, this one actually looks half decent.", and throughout the trailer he usually kept repeating the words "Kick ass" over and over again when Leon done something incredibly outstanding.
He may even now be chipping in for the price when I import the Biohazard 4 version of the game... as well as paying half the price for Resident Evil 4 when it is released down here. (In 2005

And for my own question ( ok so there's two
)What's a good DVD player for windows? ( the program, not the drive
) I have the Nvidia DVD player, although as usual you can't use everything that's in it.
since they would want a "fee" to use all the extras.
I noticed the same is true of WinDVD.
I've push my rez to over 1600x
I seem to get better quality video when playing dvd's.
Anyway lol, on topic here.
I've watched the 4min. video of RE4 that's recently came out ( with the 8min. trailer )
And I'm happily surprised how good this game truely is.
I can't wait to see the rest of the enemy cast.

Out of curiousity Mouse_Clicker, Why do you have a dislike for "Real Player"?
Just rhetroctical question, and what media player do you prefer? ( if there's one )
Real Player has horrible audio quality, horrible video quality, and the most intrusive media player on the planet. The last time I actually used Real Player was on February 12th to watch my parents renew their wedding vowes while in Las Vegas- afterwards I promptly uninstalled it. I cannot remember a time where I have ever willing used Real Player.
I guess I'm pretty picky when it comes to media formats, though. I don't like Windows Media Player and I hate Quicktime (especially because it never works for more than a few days on any of my computers for some reason). I use a Quicktime Alternative (Media Player Classic) for .mov files and DivX for just about everything else.

I still think the lighting on the villagers is still "off." As they hold a torch, the upper portions of the body *should* be noticeably illuminated, not "OH I'm just a torch floating amongst pitch black darkness," as if the torch flame didn't give off any light, or if the developers made the intensity of the light unreasonably low. If there was a brighter light-source shining towards the game camera, then the "blacked-out" villager lighting would be logical.
[after reviewing the trailer...]
HOLY CRAP, the lighting *DOES* make some sense, yet not. In the outdoor night sequences, Leon's back is illuminated regardless of the lighting conditions of the environment, as if there's a "camera crew" behind him with a light shining above and to the left of him. This closer light source would cause distant objects to appear darker since our eyes would adjust themselves to the brightness of the more direct, more intense light source, like how it's harder to see in the dark while driving when headlights from oncoming traffic shine directly at you.
The new question is, where the hell did this "camera crew" light come from?

Yeah, he's right..........most Australian (you can me Aussie, I don't mind) are not like that; the outback/bush type. You people get influenced by TV too much these days.
Oh ya.....back on topic............RE4 video blew me away. A year ago, I was slighty interested in the game. When Capcom showed they changed the game to mainly outdoors and reading IGNs preview, I became more interested. Now, holy c-sticks, I want now! I really like the boss battle on the boat in the lake.

It looks so damn fantastic and seems it plays a whole hell lot of fun. I still think the enemies are zombies but in a different way. More like zombies from the living rather from the dead. Its also the first time I seen a totally different engine in action from RE. I have heard things about what the gameplay is like but I always thought it would still be the same but more accesible and the video scraps whatever I thought. The RE atmosphere is still there and does what looks like a better job of the camera than ED. I hope there will be times Leon does experience insanity because it looks like they can add something like it and then you'll have pschological thriller and survival horror.

It might possibly work... but I don't really think that a sanity meter would fit in well with Resident Evil at all. Afterall, the sanity is best kept with Eternal Darkness as it suits more of a psychological horror game with ghosts and the supernatural. Resident Evil and Biohazard should just be kept strictly to science. (Genetic structure, viral chemicals etc.)
Besides, Leon has seen all the living dead (And other Hellish creations), so he would be used to all this stuff... therefore not needing a sanity meter.
It might work if we play as another character (For example, that young girl that Leon keeps the picture of).

Post by: Zero_Plague on April 03, 2004, 12:29:35 AM
Hopefully, one of the characters are going to die. There are a little too many main characters... and some need to be killed. I'm hoping we get to see the last of Rebecca Chambers... as well finally seeing Chris confron Wesker and kill him off.
Although he's a great villain... their rivalry has gone on for too long, and it really needs to end. Might be interesting if we actually don't get the ending we expected, and might see Wesker kill Chris instead?
Whatever the matter... a character needs to be finished off.
By the way, I would of called you if I had seen the message earlier... but i'm not sure if it's too late now. I'll just speak to you tomorrow.

I'm not sure if I had this discussion on these boards or reH... but the term "Side-Story" doesn't mean that you'll know the whole Resident Evil plot by playing through the numbered games.
All games relate to the story, no matter what... although Resident Evil: Gaiden is somewhat debatable.
For example, Resident Evil: Code Veronica (x) is considered a "Side-Story", but to be honest, it's story is one of the most vital out of the series.
As well as Resient Evil: Dead Aim. Again, its considered a "Side-Story", but in fact, it is a vital game needed to know the plot of Resident Evil.
As for myself, I never relate non-numbered Resident Evil games as "Side-Stories".
All are vital, and all are needed.
Gun Survivor 4, or Dead Aim, does take place between the times of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 in 2002, so I guess you can kind of call that filling in the gap... but then again, it doesn't really tell us the exact position and status of Leon Kennedy or the other Resident Evil characters.

Only because it was aimed over at your post or because you actually thought it was dumb? If that's the case, you need to read more.
Anyhow, going back onto topic... me and an online friend just had an interesting theory on what virus Mr. Wesker is actually infected with.
I doubt it'll be correct... as he is only processing really slow through the stages of mutation, hence, the yellow-brown eyes.
But we just need to look farther into the matter, and if it seems to be what I'm expecting, then I'll be sure to post his theory up on here. I just need a clear picture of the scene in which I want to examine.

Only because it made no sense at all. If that was an attempt at a joke, I must have missed the humor in it. If that's the case, then there are a bunch of other games I own that should be renamed.
For instance, Zelda the Joe Waker, Zelda: The Ocarina of Joe, Street Fighter Joe (this might make sense), Beyond Good and Joe, Grandia Joe, Shenmue Joe, Castelvania: The Symphony of the Joe.

And trust me, it isn't coincidence that your the only one who had something negative to say about it. It was only because that the post stated the member's own opinion, yet you disagreed with it, therefore making a post that wasn't positive to that member.

It's cleaner, clearer (not murky) than last week's trailer (the one that also had Killer 7), looks better than Fileshack's current copy, and is properly deinterlaced and properly cropped so the in-game footage takes up the 640x480 image space as it should. Other details: 3min 54sec, 54.1 MB, 640x480 DivX 5.1.1 format.
The Killer 7 trailer will be done encoding shortly. I've got class now, so I'll be back in a couple hours.

I think this is the best looking copy at a reasonable filesize for a so-called "high-quality" encode. I heard IGN Insider had a 100MB+ copy, which I think is rediculously huge and painful if it's Quicktime -- they might as well have uploaded the original DVD rip: the *.VOB file I have for this trailer was just 134MB.

a zombie bursts through the window and starts lurching towards me.

i blow the crap out of him with a gernade launcher. a zombie just doesn't have the same scare factor when you're packin' that much heat. it makes me a little worried that re4 isn't going to have nearly the same scare-factor because (judging from what we've seen so far) leon have access to greater abundence of powerful weapons (at least compared to past games).

That is made up by having more enemies coming at you at once...The fact that you are being overwhelmed is where the scare factor will come in...
Exactly. That, and the fact that the horror is more psychological than anything else. Since there are apparently "normal" characters as well, you won't know who to trust. I'd take that over cheap shock horror any day of the week.

It'll probablly have more action then horror, but that doesn't mean that the game won't be scary. Even reviewers put captions under the pictures, and a few of them talked about how the 'chainsaw massacre' lookalike guy brang in a lot of heart pounding suspense.
Pretty much like the crimson heads in the Resident Evil Remake. They won't stop running after you unless you unload your bullets into them, and that is exactly the same with the Leatherface type enemy.
Just the intelligence of the villagers and the way they just trap you inside a house, forcing you to barricade yourself in brings a whole new meaning to horror. Of course, it isn't going to be the norma Resident Evil game where the music just sends shivers down your spine... waitng till something jumps out.
This is going to be intense running from the enemies 24/7, and this is what you would get extreme panic from.
Put it this way.
If you beat the Remake a couple of times, you would basically know off by heart where all the scare scenes are, and it would be incredibly predictible. But with Resident Evil 4, each time you play it, depending on which options you take (For instance, running to a house to barricade yourself in, or just running around the town until you find safety), the game will be a lot more scarier, and will relive that scare factor time and time again.
As we had read in a magazine, as Leon runs throughout the village, hundreds of maniac villagers chase him.
I actually think that the player is going to have a time limit on how long to survive for. Say if it was 30 minutes for instance... Leon would be running around the town, barracading himself in different locations until that time limit runs out, which leads to the cut-scene of the church bell ringing and the villagers dropping their weapons. (As that is what we heard in the multiple reviews.)
If that is the case, then each time you play it, you can run a different route then the previous time, barricading yourself in different houses and barns then what you had done the time before. It will be incredible fun to replay over and over again, and like I said, it will relive the scare factor as you don't know what's coming at you due to choosing a different path.
By the way, Professional 666...
If it isn't too much of a hassle, would it be alright if you could hand me over a link for your Resident Evil 4 trailer?
Thanks in advance.

1) The scene where Leon kicks off the ladder was not continuous. The first scene showed the chainsaw guy climbing up. Suddenly, there's a scene change, and we see the chainsaw guy falling down well before Leon is able to kick off the ladder. There's obviously a few frames of missing footage, and I assume Leon probably shot this guy in the head to shake him off. With that, I can't readily conclude that Leon can kick the ladder off while someone's still climbing it.
2) The lake scene shows the RE4 graphics engine has real-time, reactive hydrodynamics (think Wave Race: Blue Storm). As the boat and the monster tread over the water you see the nice foamy splash textures kicking up, but in addition to that the lake surface waves and deforms as the boat and monster cut the surface. Considering this a action/adventure type game, I'm really impressed it has this feature (well-executed too) at all.

Yes, I do remember the noodles and soup interview with Shinji, but heaven forbid... I couldn't remember if it was more noodles then soup or more soup then noodles. But we best change the subject, because every other members that reads this are going to think that we're insane.
Nevertheless, the game will be scary and that's that.
Anyway, I can't call you now. Parents are on the phone, so I'll call you as soon as they get off.
By the way, Professional 666... the links worked great. Thanks for that.
Anyway, back onto topic with Resident Evil 4...
There has been quite some contreversy on whether the girl in the picture is Sherry Birkin or not. According to Resident Evil 2, she was 12 around the time... making her around 18 in RE4. Although, according to the timeline on the official Resident Evil website, it in fact says that Sherry is around 8-10 in Resident Evil 2... but from previous data in that timeline, it appears to be severly screwed up.
Now, as to Sherry being in that picture.... I doubt it. BUT, I don't doubt her being in the game or having a few scenes in it. IF Wesker happens to be in Resident Evil 4, then Sherry should be appearing in it, as well as Ada Wong... but I tend to think that she'll have more of a flashback and diary mention then a rather appearance in person to Resident Evil 4.

Here it is:
Sherry Birkin?
I just played through Resident Evil 2 today, and realized how much more Sherry looks so similar to that girl in the picture. Seeing that she should be 18 by now, she does fit the picture pretty well. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

It was a rumor quite a while back... and then it started to spread more and more until various websites, including IGN (I think) started posting articles on whether it may be true or not. But it wasn't really something I bought into. Besides, the graphical content was too enhanced for the PS2, so it would of taken work to even lower the pixel/polygon count, which Capcom never would of done.
Resident Evil 4 however, is very possible to be compatible with X-Box... but for Capcom to movie it to X-Box? Extremely unlikely, and we probablly won't see it until another 100 years. But to answer your question... it is a definent exclusive. There is no way in hell it'll be moving to Sony or Microsoft now.
However, Resident Evil 5... has an extremely slim chance of making it onto the new Sony console... but most people doubt it. It's more likely to move over to Nintendo's new console.
EDIT: Heh... looks like Professional 666 beat me to it. Anyway, take our word. Its false.

No doubt another sort of battle game like Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 3. I'd imagine by recovering Shinji's watch in the game will allow you to unlock something or someone... although I think somewhere in an interview, Mikami clearly stated that he's watch is just being put in as a sort of cameo. Similar to the numerous blocks of cheese you were able to find in Perfect Dark... only this time, you can actually obtain it. Apart from that, it'd be pretty obvious that after there are also unlockable uniforms for various characters in the game. Hopefully we won't get something like Leech Hunter again. I admit, it wasn't bad... but I didn't really fancy the whole concept of finding objects in a mansion.
Anyway, I was just thinking about it today at school, and realized actually how close Resident Evil 4's release date for Japan is coming up to be. I'd imagine that Japan will be getting it July-August, or there abouts. Probablly even sooner... possibly in June... but that's being too genereous of Capcom. Honestly, I think somewhere about late July/early August. By roughly guessing, the U.S will probably be getting it around September-October (or whenever Winter is, which I believe is around that time anyway)... which then leaves us, Australia to recieve by early 2005 or POSSIBLY (I doubt it though) late December.
What really gets me wondering is how little we've seen of the game. All the trailers, pictures and other media we've recieved from Capcom is only about one quater, or not even a quater into the game. I just hope that this won't be as short as Resident Evil Zero. The only reason I think that is because of the amount of unbelieveable graphics we've already seen. But then again, I guess getting rid of FMV's will free up a lot of space.
Post by: wei803 on April 18, 2004, 10:22:07 PM
thinking bout the minigame, why cant they put the earlier "canceled" story into it? i think it would be cool to play like a short adventure. and i was a waste to just "delete" then isn't it?

but Capcom always let me down.... especially with the "exclusive" things... from the dreamcast RE:CV age till now i never really trust their so call "exclusive only"... i hope they don't "toy" with release date this time.... anyway they just said winter release, can't blame them if they say any date...

Yeah right ben. You wish. Try November being the earliest date for Biohazard. We will probaly get it around Febuary-April, no time earlier.

although the chainsaw guy does not look like leatherface like some spoke of before.
he has a burlap sack on his face which reminds me of something else. some b movie horror i watched ages ago, but can not recall the name off hand.
Post by: MysticGohan24 on May 04, 2004, 09:39:19 PM
might ring some bells there. As Jason Vorhees also wore a burlap sack over his face, in III that's where he get's the Hockey Mask.Other than that, I couldn't think of any movie refferences.
Post by: StRaNgE on May 05, 2004, 09:27:33 AM
but i think it is even from a movie more grade B then that. if only i could remember. oh well. lol
Post by: Zero_Plague on May 12, 2004, 12:37:25 AM
I just cannot wait to find out the story of this game. What adds to the anticipation is the clueless minds that we all have right now trying to understand what is happening in the actuall plot of the game.
Post by: akdaman1 on May 12, 2004, 12:46:21 AM
Although I am sorta annoyed that no new footage was shown. Nothing too new was shown. Although I REALLY love the villigers dumping innocents in the river. When I saw that for the first time I GASPd. It really seems to be stronger in story then any previous RE game.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE STILL WONDERING WHERE THE STORY TAKES PLACE...
A lot of places are being mentioned (South America, Europe...) but I can guarantee you that it's in Spain, Europe (I wanna make that clear because some people think that Spain is in South America
I'm originally from Spain myself and I was SHOCKED when I saw the 2 cops (PN - Policia Nacional), with their badges and Spain's flag on their uniforms. And, a very important clue... when the 1st one speaks he says "coño !", that's a 100% Spaniard word (even though I've heard some dominicans and puerto ricans saying that too... ALSO, could you hear flamenco music at the beginning ??? That's 125% (LOL) music from Spain. What I found very strange is the villagers' accent. They sounded like Mexicans. You can probably compare Spain's and Mexico's Spanish accents with England's and USA's English accents, same language but they sound way too different. Capcom probably thinks that Spain is a small island in Mexico... LOFL !!!And that's it !!! I wanted to say hi but I didn't want to open a thread just for that so I thought of some kind of interesting topic and this was what I came up with. What a week...

"Another tipoff to this fact can be found in the pesetas (Spanish coins) that Leon occasionally finds among the usual ammunition"
Spain haven't used pesetas in a few years now, it's Euros now !!!! Capcom, you should do some research... In which year does the story take place ??? I'm thinking that might be my answer... anyone ???
Post by: Bill Aurion on May 16, 2004, 05:51:47 PM
But the place where the game takes place looks pretty derelict and out in the middle of nowhere, which makes sense that the people there wouldn't have the latest monetary updates...

First things first, the girl running around in RE4 is definitely the president's daughter - in the E3 demo, it says it's six years after the Raccoon City mayhem, Leon works for the feds now and is looking for the president's missing daughter. He then shows a photograph to some crazy spaniard that then tries to chop off his face, but er, it's the same girl in the screens, and unless Sherry was adopted or Billy Birkins' mutated and incinerated corpse was elected to office, it's definitely not Sherry.
I have some theories about who is behind what in RE4, and I think we should have a storyline thread.

Those 2 werent agents. They were just there to drop Leon off. Not sure what youd call them but Im positive that its not an agent.
Also I wont mind if you made a storyline thread. The story is way too complicated for just 1 thread.

I just want to know 2 things.
1.When I was watching the videos of RE4 I was having difficulty seeing the enemies in the distance. Maybe it was the quality of the videos, I dont know. Was it hard to spot the enemies in the distance?
2.How is the aiming? When watching the videos the players almost never hit the zombie on thier first shot. Are the aiming controls are bit loose or something?
If you can answer these or know someone who can then it would be greatly apreccitated.

Because Zombies are slow is the reason why we're able to take a step back and dogdge their grasps, save lots of ammo, and beat the Remake in under 3 hours with Chris to get the Rocket Launcher.
Slow zombies either die of hunger, or burn in a fiery explosion. Whichever comes first.

WHAT!!!!!!!! there not zoms, but resident evil is all about zombies i dont get it? in my opinion resident evil should have just been zombies but lots of them. so are they just crazed villigers form like that film "the crazies" or so my mate keeps telling me lol
oh yea, zombies dont die of hunger because even if they do eat it doesnt nurish them because there digestive system is dead so instead they would jus die of decay in about a month (or as the resident evil film sais "they have a small electrical charge to the brain that takes a month to disapate")

The title "Resident Evil 4" actually makes sense now since it has "Evil Residents". -- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
"the crazies" are the villagers from that aweful karate flick, GYMKATA.
Don't listen to the Resi film.
Is it feasible that Resi's zombies would be the exception to death-via-decay since it's the viri that keep the zombies alive and not the original human biological processes of the host? So as along as virus is supported (human flesh, yum yum), which may keep the body's cells intact and functioning, the zombie can still be up-and-about? Or will the body's cells simply decay to the point that the virus can no longer animate the body?
At the least, the Primogenitor/Progenitor "mother" virus kept Dr. Marcus alive for quite a while, while the Nemesis parasite kept Lisa Trevor alive for a long time as well.
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 07, 2004, 04:28:22 PM
That is most likely the case...Eventually muscle tissue would decay so much that it could no longer support the body...However, this is just the T-virus...The G-virus keeps tissue alive so organisms infected with it are exempt from this process...

There seems to be a nice cache of WWII-era weaponry.
The Spaniard whom Leon meets with wields a pistol I can't name, but is from the war era.
Leon used what looks like a British Enfield or German Mauser sniper rifle.
Leon also uses a "rocket launcher" that looks like certain German-Nazi anti-tank weapons.
I'm not an expert on these things. But I watch History Channel for fun like many.

Post by: vixtro on June 08, 2004, 12:56:04 AM
biohazard - means a biological expirement gone wrong
resident evil - means a place that has evil in it
and if u really wanna know more about zombies and where the idea for them was most taken from to put in resident evil then watch George A. romero's "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead" but Day is better than Dawn for info on zoms cuz its got a scientist who finds stuff out about them as for Dawn.... Dawn is the better one cuz its got more action and zombies ripping ppl up lol
u can get the whole collection of
night of the living dead
dawn of the dead
day of the dead
on DVD and they are all 18 cert cuz of the major violence in them
FOR THE LAST TIME Professional 666........... ZOMBIES DO NOT GET ANYTHING OUT OF EATING ANYTHING CUZ ALL THERE INSIDES ARE DEAD SO IT WOULD JUST SIT IN THERE STOMACH DOING NOTHING

I don't know why I found that so funny, but it was. Is. Verb tense? What?Weren't TEH ZOMBEEZ dumping bodies into the lake? Mehbee they are trying to feed it to keep their childrens safe from animal planet. Or the monster.
But what new virus has Capcom cooked up for us? It makes the peasants look normal (all of them except poor little Nancy Kim who turned into the Lord of the Rings cave troll and wants bloody revenge on Peter Jackson for thinking up something so ugly) but causes Japanese Salamanders to migrate to South America (or Europe according to Pro666. I was under the impression this was South America.) and become RILLY BIG. What will become of the childrens? Hey, now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing any kids in the village. I wonder where they got off to. (Their parents' tummies.
)
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on June 14, 2004, 08:08:59 PM
You were under the impression it was South America because of silly Game Informer "exlusive info". They've since admitted their mistake and made corrections.

So basically it was you?
Anyways, thanks. I had no idea it took place in Europe. Is it safe to assume that this is some jungle village in Spain? I seem to remember the local popo having a Spanish accent. And the Orlando Bloom guy.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on June 15, 2004, 12:42:03 PM
No, it wasn't me. I don't post at those boards at all, I just look for useful info and media. In fact, it's been 2-3 months since I for a forum membership at REH, and the webmaster still hasn't given me approval. A lost cause.
If you look at the latest trailers of the game, there's quite a few vague but significant European references in it. One would be the cap & uniform of the policemen who escort Leon to the village. Another would be the style of the castle full of rotting monks (the fact there's a castle at all). Lastly, the limited variety of WWII-era weaponry (sniper rifle, anti-tank weapon, Orlando Bloom's pistol).
Post by: Berny on June 16, 2004, 07:38:57 AM
Wow I totally forgot about the monks. WHEW! Yep, it's Europe all right, unless Umbrella is now investing in Ye Olde Real Estate in South America in an effort to make New Olde Europe. I didn't notice anything about Leon's escorts' uniforms, but I'll take your word for it.I wonder if this story will in some way be connected to the Black Plague or if it will be at least referred to. Wow, this whole "taking place in Europe" thing changes everything. ^_^ So, do we know why the President's daughter is even in Europe? It makes more sense that she'd be there, but was she vacationing and kidnapped or kidnapped and told to vacation?

Could Spencer be a member of some wacko Pagan religion that's headquartered in Europe? Look at the screenshot of the Red-cloaked monk in this Resi4 screen gallery:
http://www.gcadvanced.com/media.php?gameid=420
"I am GOAT MAN! Kill him!"
The official Resi4 site also confirms that Ashley, the Pres' daughter, was frollicking in Spain then got kidnapped. She's also 20 yrs old. Lucky for Leon, yep, she's legal.

I'd ask who Spencer is, but that probably involves some uber spoilers so I'll just keep my nose out of it.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on June 25, 2004, 09:32:28 AM
As for the church, i could agree it's gothic but the features weren't elaborate as the stuff you'd find in Tim Burton's BATMAN film. The altar space was fairly small. No distinct gargoyle-like sculptures, no stained glass (that I could clearly see).
I'm wildly guessing that Spencer's a wacko Pagan and we'll be meeting up with his freaky homeboys/teachers/comrades in the homeland as part of Resident Evil 4: Leon's EuroTrip.

Anyway, I believe there was some discussion about the confusion of whether Resident Evil 4 could take place in Spain or South America. I'm not sure if it has been officialy announced where the majority of the game is situated... but as far as I believe, I think that it is in fact in Mexico.
Someone was saying that they noticed lots of Spanish refrences a few pages back, including the music and language, but according to history:
When Hernan Cortez landed on Mexico, he was greeted by the ancient Aztecs which he soon conquered for their amount of gold in the country. The Aztecs weren't completely destroyed, BUT the Spanish did inhabbit a lot of the land. They converted their sacraficial religion to Catholicism, and it is a fact today that a lot of Mexico is still inhabbited with thousands of Spanish. History even says that most of the Mexican language includes Spanish.
(Yes, I've done my research
)This could also explain why it doesn't mention Euro Currency, due to the game possibly being in Central America. ALSO, Spanish architecture is very similar to "Gotchic" architecture, which could also explain the Gothic-like churches that Leon visits.
Well, this is my theory anyway... and it will probablly be washed down the plug hole after Capcom officialy announce that the game is based in Europe... but it's worth a try.

I'm so torn. On the one hand, I have my utter hatred of the Resident Evil series, and on the other hand I have the fact every trailer I've seen of Resident Evil 4 makes it look like the best game ever made. The thing is, Code Veronica also tricked me into thinking it was the greatest game ever made with its awesome intro, and that turned out to be rubbish...
Just can't decide whether to get my hopes up for this or not.

I have to ask, why do you have such hatred for the series? I, at first, did not like the game either and that was because of the controls. I have never played the games when they were released for that reason. Then, when the REmake came out with the new C-style controls, I figured that I'd give it a try and that was when I got hooked onto the series.
Afterwards, I started finding all the PSX games and the DC's Code: Veronica finished those as well. The controls were difficult to get used to at first, but I have gotten so used to it. Now, the C-style control feels awkward for me now and is much harder to use.
BTW, Code: Veronica is the best game in the series so far. Much better than than the others in terms of story. RE3 was a little better in fear factor because of that damn Nemesis -- you never know whether he's around the next corner or behind you.

Other countries. An example is code veronica, where at the end of the game you end up in antarctica. This game was ok, but not nearly as good as the previous RE games. From what I have heard, RE 4 will take place in europe, which doesn't appeal to me as much as the others.

Even though Raccoon City is now destroyed, I believe that other future Resident Evil games will take place in or around that location. After Resident Evil: Outbreak is completed, if you stay after the credits roll, you will actually see an interesting FMV that shows an unknown corporation constructing a rather large base with what looks to be an observation tower in the center of the barren land. A conversation between two scientists tells us that something is being scheduled for the future of Raccoon City. One of the men mention that they will be dropping samples begining with the T-4, and that the remainder of the samples will be dropped in fifteen minute intervals.
What this means... I have no idea. But it could possibly mean that the Umbrella Corporation or some other sort of organization (possibly HCF) are constructing a compound that possibly could be used as some sort of new laboratory or breeding facility. I only theorize that because earlier on in the FMV, one of the scientists state that humans aren't able to live on the land. How bout Bio-Organic Weapons?
If this is the Umbrella Corporation, which I find doubtful, then it could possibly mean that we are going to get the numerous Resident Evil prequels showing their destruction... however, I've got a feeling that this is some sort of organization that is carrying over Umbrella's viruses for their own schemes.
As the FMV ends, a sign on a cyclone fence clearly states that the waste (or land) is highly infectious... meaning that it could still possibly contain bacteria of the T-Virus.

The up-close shots of Ashley are nice. The level of detail on her face is kinda eerie. Keeping with the new Spanish nick-naming trend, I dub her... "La Perrita."

I'm sure that the President sent out Leon to rescue his kidnapped daughter out of love for his family... not so that he can dump her body into the waste land of Raccoon City which is rather disrespectful and seemingly pointless for whatever corportation has settled there.
Also, Capcom have officially stated that even though they may still have importance in the game, the Umbrella Corporation has been destroyed by the government therefore wouldn't be undergoing anymore research in their compound from the early trailers of Resident Evil 4... however, I still do believe that that mansion will somehow have an appearance or major part in the game. Even though the plot and enemies may have been scrapped, I still have doubts that the setting hasn't been taken out.
As for your ideas on Resident Evil's 5, 6 and 7... I don't really understand what you mean. So please, expand on your explanation of them.

i still think wesker could start up umbrella here and he infecterd the villagers with a more controled version of the t-virus and made them stop anyone finding the mansion)
That'd be somewhat logical, but from the cinematic between Albert Wesker and William Birkin in Resident Evil Zero, Wesker actually states that he is leaving the Umbrella Corporation for good and will be joining a corporation named the HCF, which stands for either Hive Capture Force or Host Capture Force. It hasn't really clearly been sorted by Capcom. But anyway, seeing that Wesker left Umbrella, there wouldn't be any advantage for him or them if he helps them re-establish their company. If Umbrella were to come back (which I find relatively doubtful) then I'd presume it'd be Lord Spencer who would re-create his corporation... premusing that he might still be alive.
As for your idea on Resident Evil 5, not much of the Resident Evil storyline would increase except for clearing up a few plot holes from Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil 1, so I'd find it quite pointless for the game to revolve around the attack on the laboratory... however, this sort of theme may serve relatively good for a Resident Evil side-game. Not a bad idea for a kick-off game, but certainly not for a game that is vital to the story and would need to be numbered.
With Resident Evil 6, it might possibly work out, but it'd be extremely difficult to tie all the STARS members into one game that is situated in Europe... and it'd also be a little out of place. Having the whole mansion-idea with Umbrella possibly inhabbiting it would need to be fitted into Resident Evil 4... not an entirely new game. But once again, not a bad idea for an extension on Resident Evil 4.
And finally, with Resident Evil 7... having a free-roaming environment would be extraordinary as long as it isn't made like an environment that you'd find in an RPG however, 10 cities in total would be a little too much... and the idea of the protagonist returning to the Resident Evil 4 setting would be a little repetitive and might make gamers angry.

There should be one where you play as the zombie. You are partially resistant and so have the whole phisique but retain your brain and the objective is to kill as many zombies as possible before you totally lose it.
That'd be better off to be used as a mini-game for one of the future Resident Evil's... but for having a game on its own where you play as a person slowly going through zombification wouldn't really be my forte and in the end can be rather pointless. Also, the storyline which doesn't sound like it'd be that advanced might make fan boys angry.

I hope RE4 doesn't have any PAUSES. One thing that bugs me about RE is while your waiting for a door to open, or waiting for one cutscene to continue after the previous one, or waiting for a CROW to fly through the WINDOW you could have made yourself some toast and made a post on an internet forum. RE4 seems to be more focused on action, which by no means makes it less scary, but just less... boring. Can't wait. I've been replaying RE0 and it rocks. True story.

No more enemies being re-positioned after you leave the room and then re-enter it a few seconds later, no more sprints for a door so that you can loose whatever enemies are chasing you... and best of all, no more door loading sequences that take hours of your time. A perfect example of this would be the cargo door on the plane in Code Veronica. Waiting for that door to open each time after you are killed by the Tyrant is extremely annoying.
You should be thanking Capcom that they have made the whole map one big undivided area. More scares and less bears. (Sorry, couldn't think of any other rhyming word :S )

According to a member on reH, the symbol on the tunnel entrance looks identical to the Spencer logo that appeared in the REmake. Apparently, "Resident Evil Fan: A New Blood" have a clear image of the logo, but as of yet, I'm going through Hell looking for it.

Quite expensive if you ask me, but the magazine does contain both a DVD and a playable demo of Biohazard 4 that might contain new locations in the game that we haven't seen yet. However, you will need a freeloader and also good skills in the Japanese language. Fortunately however, I do believe that cut-scene dialogue will be in English. It's just text that'll be Japanese.

Anyway, I wonder if any of you people saw the recent video clip of another demo at E3? Doesn't really feature anything new, but you may find it interesting to watch. The link is here:
Clicky
It may also appear to you that a lot of the text in the link appears to be be rectangular boxes. If you scroll down the page to where you see a magazine cover showing Leon Kennedy on the front, then that means that the post below contains the new footage. You'll have to do the "right click", "save target as" option considering that the link doesn't work for me and possibly you too. But make sure that you're downloading the RE4E3k4(2).mov and not the RE4ImpressionsE3k4.mov one.

- Resident Evil 4 is planning to be released in April, 2005.
- Obviously, the villagers are sexist and have killed all the women in the village.
- The Resident Evil 4 demo will be playable for 60 minutes.
- Resident Evil 4 will approx. be 1200 minutes. (20 hours)
- Resident Evil 4 will be released uncut.
- It seems that Capcom are adding in sort of an RPG element like DMC where you are able to buy weapons with pesetas.
- Already known, the villagers speak Spanish.
Of course, like other reH members mentioned... this information is all aimed towards a German/Europe market, so the release date may easily be before the U.S. release.

Anyway, here it is:
Quote
NE-T Virus
The NE-T virus has very similar properties to the T-virus, but it was designed specifically in relation to the Tyrant Project. In response to reports of the T-002’s failure, a new project was started. Its original goal was to ensure the destruction of all anti-umbrella elements, specifically STARS members. It was given the grandiose title of ‘Goddess of Vengeance’. The research team though nicknamed the project Nemesis, as they held the surviving STARS members directly responsible for the T-001 and T-002’s failure and took a certain satisfaction in working on a project designed specifically to eliminate them, and the name stuck.
Research pertaining to a similar project had been started a few years ago when Umbrella researchers were looking to improve the general intelligence of BOWs. So far all T-virus created BOWs had had extremely low intelligence ratings. Umbrella needed a BOW that could understand and carry out orders. The American team led by Dr. Birkin was working on ways to increase the BOW's strength, whilst the European team was working on ways to increase the BOWs’ intelligence. Countless theories and ideas were traded and they first started experiments that involved directly operating on the subject’s brain. Birkin’s team succeeded in creating the T-002, which unlike the highly unstable T-001 could follow the simplest of orders such as ‘restraint’ and ‘attack’. But its intelligence was still insufficient for the BOW to operate in the field.
Then a breakthrough by the European team came in the form of the NE-Alpha, an independent organism created from the NE-T virus that could affect the host’s brain. Further experiments were made, including inserting the NE-Alpha into a Hunter. It was this experiment that provided crucial data that led to the creation of the T-103.
Nemesis
Nemesis is one of the deadliest BOWs ever created. Part of the Tyrant Project, the NE-T virus was used in its conception at the main Umbrella Facility in Paris. The first Nemesis was created when the NE-Alpha was inserted into the spine of a T-103. This was the Nemesis T-type. The parasite stimulates the T-virus cells and catalyses the formation of new brain cells. This allows the parasite to gain control of the host’s brain. In effect a second brain is formed, with all lower brain operations including control of the major organs and motor functions. Over time the NE-Alpha parasite will take over all bodily functions. Four compatible subjects were found, but during the mutation process one of the Nemeses maintained the ability of independent thought. Whether it was the parasite that was responsible or the host was never found out as the subject tried to escape and was destroyed immediately. The remaining Nemeses were given inhibitors that would limit the NE-Alpha’s growth when it reached maturity. This new modified Nemesis was classified the Nemesis T-02.
Due to the fact that only 1 in 60,000,000 people have DNA that is compatible with the virus, Nemesis is an extremely rare BOW. It was a minor miracle that a compatible test subject was found at all. For all intents and purposes Nemesis is completely indestructible. Most conventional weapons have no effect on it and explosives only succeed in rendering it unconscious. It uses the same ‘scent’ program as the T-103s, enabling it to hunt down targets over large distances. Unlike other Tyrants, Nemesis is sentient. As it actually has a concept of what its mission is, it is able to improvise in situations. It is also able to use weaponry. In the Raccoon City incident Nemesis was issued with a modified C90-CR rocket launcher, which was used to great effect. Standing over nine feet tall, Nemesis wears the standard trench coat issued to Tyrants, which hides a mass of tentacles capable of infecting victims with the NE-T virus. The NE-T virus affects the central nervous system of the victim and can cause mild paralysis. If the victim should die, the NE-T virus contains enough T-virus cells to reanimate the victim, which increases the chances of the T-virus being spread. Unlike the T-103s, Nemesis is extremely agile, capable of jumping several storeys and outrunning any human. Its strength exceeds that of a T-103. Nemesis was killed during the Raccoon City incident by STARS member Jill Valentine. The circumstances that resulted in Nemesis’s death were extreme, and highly unlikely to be repeated. Regardless the loss of Nemesis was a huge blow to Umbrella and there is little chance of finding another compatible host.
Nemesis Mutation I
Nemesis was designed to secrete a substance that would increase its cell metabolism in order to counter any heavy attacks and recover from wounds. The downside would be more increasingly unstable mutations. After falling unconscious in a fire, Nemesis’s trench coat was burned off and its rocket launcher destroyed. The extreme pressure put on the body caused a spontaneous mutation effect seen with G-Types and Crimson Heads. Nemesis’s tentacles extended in length and the loss of the trench coat allowed greater mobility. Its attack patterns include wrapping its tentacles around its victim and throwing them against walls.
Nemesis Mutation II
After being decapitated, losing an arm and finally being boiled in large vat of acid in the Umbrella Waste Disposal Facility, which was designed to break down industrial waste, the remnants of Nemesis crawled to the nearby body of a T-103 and ingested some of the remains. The apparent infusion caused an extremely violent mutation. Its reaction was similar to that of a G-Type with new appendages being spontaneously generated. It also suffers from the same ‘devolution’ effect with each mutation; Nemesis reverted to a quadruped form and would have no doubt broken down into an amorphous blob had the mutations continued. An interesting chemical reaction also took place. Its unstable metabolic rate will cause a conflict between the T-virus and Nemesis-T virus cells. Nemesis can use this to its advantage by projecting a highly acidic compound of T and NE-T virus cells, capable of infecting anyone who comes into contact with this substance. Its acid and tentacle attacks are less effective than its previous attack patterns, but still lethal nonetheless. It is interesting to note that Nemesis continued to pursue its mission goal of eliminating all STARS members even when near death, and when mutations should have substantially altered its brain.
That report was slightly altered by an reH member because the original version of it sounded incredibly goofy as if it wasn't even written by an offical source of any kind.
The report covers up a lot of plot holes but unfortunetly, also creates a few more. Nevertheless, quite interesting and it is worth a read.

Anyway...
Games Media Mirror has listed a few videos of the RE4 demo. As MagnificentOgre already stated, there are female villagers in RE4 so I guess that rules out the theory of the villagers being sexist :S .
A few people who have received the demo of RE4 are already saying that it is extremely pleasing... however quite short, it is still pleasing.
From what I've heard:
- You aren't allowed to save in the demo.
- An assault rifle is unlockable in the demo.
- The swipe of "leatherface's" chainsaw is an instant kill.
- "A" opens a door where as doube "A" in rapid succession will make Leon kick the door open.
- There are female villagers.
That's about it. I'm excited to see and hear more about your experiences with the game.

Capcom's either changed Ashley's model permenently, or she's growing up as the game progresses. Her hair's a little fuller, her eyes more golden, and looks less of a child than before. Sorry, don't know if her breasts got bigger.

The theories and posts on reH in the Resident Evil 4 topic have been blasting away like there's no tomorrow. Something like 16 pages have been posted within a day.
Regardless, a lot of new information about Resident Evil 4:
In the TGS trailer that was already provided, the comments at the end of part eight have been translated:
"The Bell!"
"It's time to pray."
"We have to go."
"Lord Zatler" ???
Hundreds of theories include that this, "Lord Zatler" is in fact Lord Spencer and that this village may be where the Progenitor Virus was first created. Regardless, this is getting really interesting.
Also on the trailer, we see a quick glimpse of a woman in a red dress shoot at the villager chief who knocks the Hell out of Leon. By pausing the video RIGHT at that moment, there is a major resemblence to someone like Claire Redfield or Ada Wong. This might continue on with the rumour of 4 character from previous RE titles being in RE4.
Once again in the new trailer, we see that in the last few seconds there is a monsterous claw in a fire. Could this be another Tyrant or some sort of new monster?
A lot of members on reH are saying that they are absolutely AMAZED and PLEASED with the demo of RE4. Supposedly, it has a lot of elements from previous RE games that make the gameplay all the more better. I heard also the chainsaw enemy takes about 7-8 shots to kill.
The dialogue of the characters have also improved and when Leon informs Luis of the Raccoon City incident, I almost had an.... ... ....Ok, let's just say it was interesting.

You're able to pre-order a chainsaw controller (yes, you're not drunk. You read that correctly.) that will be given to you on the release of Resident Evil 4. Then again, Gamestop isn't all that reliable and to prove how lousy they are, they even spelt "Resident" incorrectly.

I paid nearly US$50 for 1) the Weekly Famitsu Capcom Special Issue which contains the JPN BioZomboid4 demo. 2) Freeloader disc for booting import games. 3) Airmail shipping (2 week ship time for me). That's quite a bit of time and money for just a demo. But as a fanatic/media collector, I'm glad to enjoy BioZomboid4 in some form this early.
And seriously, I'd be surprised if this baby wasn't sold out by now.
I have no problem with in-game deaths for the sake of "HOLY SH!T HAHAA." It's sweeter if I capture it in hi-rez video.

Anyway Pro666, when will your video be up showing your "skills" in RE4?
I'd also like to ask, when you enter the village, do the enemies automatically continuously respawn after you kill a certain amount?

Nonetheless, I can still achieve a grand symphony of exploding heads and burning bodies and super head-smashing kung fu. My kung fu is good.
With regards to respawning, I don't know. While I run around the village, actively trying to kill people, more time passes by than simply going around collecting items. If I didn't trigger Chainsaw Pedro yet, eventually I see 2 different brief cutscenes at 2 separate intervals (the demo is under time limit, recall) where a group of 4-6 villagers rush to the scene. If i'm not wasting people too quickly, like with shotguns or grenades, then the number of freaks chasing/surrounding me seems fairly constant, but that doesn't include the handful of people I see waiting on rooftops or standing unarmed and pointing at me. Is that respawning? Maybe. Seems like there's enough reinforcements to last the time limit.

By the way, according to reH, it seems that "thermal vision" can be used in the full game and that the "optical camoflauge" item can be used in the demo that turns you semi-invisible however, the coding has not been implemented for it so the Ganado can still see you.

By the way, reH has hacked a few more secrets out of re4. They've found all the names of the cutscenes (not available to watch of course) and have also come upon the names of the cutscenes that were from the early stages of Resident Evil 4 with Mr. Hook in his mansion. I really don't know what it is, but I've got the strangest of feelings that Capcom didn't entirely "scrap" the early version of the game.
EDIT:
Just watched your video, and you certainly are better than the other people that have played the demo at E3. Keep 'em coming, they're great, especially in such good quality.

Anyway, two new scans from Famitsu have been posted up on the main page of reH here:
Resident Evil Horror Homepage
Nothing new, but I'm guessing that translations are in the works.
Also at Gamecube Advanced, supposedly there'll be a special edition version of Resident Evil 4 that I'm guessing you'll be able to pre-order.
The special edition contains:
- Red Metal Tin Box
- Mini Resident Evil 4 Art-Book
- Resident Evil 4 Laser Cell
- Resident Evil: The Movie Soundtrack
- Resident Evil: Apocalypse Soundtrack
I'm guessing that more will be added to the list as the days go by. Anyway, it's also rumored that it'll be released in January with about a price of $59.99.

Post by: Zero_Plague on October 21, 2004, 12:07:35 PM
A while back, the server was hacked by a random hacking group that calls themselves the "Interceptor Brazillian Team" and it totally took out the home page and forums. If you search on google, they are the same hackers who also took down the Microsoft website as well as over 200 other pages. I sent off e-mails to all the reH members so that we could regroup at another board so that we could have a proper discussion without continuous panic over MSN.
Anyway, after we regrouped, I e-mailed Captain Zap or also known as Ian Arthur Phillip who is supposedly the world's first ever hacker back in the 80's when it wasn't illegal. After the law came in saying that hacking was not allowed, Ian joined an anti-hacking organization that actually hacks other hackers. I told him about the Interceptor Brazillian Team, so he is in the works of taking them down.
Apart from the bad news, DaMa is working on the forums and has brought up the home page of reH. If he doesn't have the forums up within a week, he'll place a link up on the main page to the backup forums we are currently at.

Suprising actually.
I went into the cinemas thinking that I was going to see a whole load of rubbish like the first Resident Evil film, but I actually quite liked it. Directing needed a lot of work, but overall, I thought that it was very well done as long as you put aside the whole, "Oh, the games are nothing like the movies" arguments.
It was also good to see some scenes in the film to be references from the games, mainly from Code Veronica.
Post by: Zero_Plague on October 25, 2004, 12:05:35 PM
- On the Japanese website for RE4, it's been confirmed that the name of the Strider is Luis Sera. Also, a character profile of the woman in red (who is Ada) has been put up in the characters page.
- If you're interested, the making of the Resident Evil 2 commericial can be located here.
- Also, three new weapons include the Mauser, Minethrower and Springfield.
EDIT:
By the way, at the Golden Joystick Awards for this year, Resident Evil 4 appears on the list for one of the most anticipated games of 2005. Vote for it if you want.
EDIT #2:
On IGN, it's been cleared up that the woman in red is most likely Ada Wong, and that the man with the weapons and items under his black coat is a merchant that you meet multiple times in the game where you're able to buy equipment off him with the money that you gather.
Also, it's said that the monks are called, "Los Illuminados". Pendants can also be found in the game with the purpose of unlocking items at the end of the game.
Finally, here is an official timeline of the game:
- The Ganado Village
- Farmland and Outskirts (Here you meet Luis and the Village Chief as well as fighting monks that have TNT strapped to themselves)
- Caverns/Mines
- Forest Trails that have signs that supposedly look like something from Blair Witch.
- The Village Chief's Mansion
- The Salamander Lake
- The Monastery
And then in no specific order:
- Castle Exterior
- Castle Interior
- A Building Site
- The El Gigante Boss
Edit #3:
Wow. Cats got everyones tongues?
Anyway... some plot information have been revealed:
The Salamander-like monster swimming around in the lake is supposedly infecting the water with parasites. The villagers give sacrifices, in this case, dead police officers and give them to the lake monster so that it can continue to infect the water thus making the villagers crazed idiots. Why they want to become crazed idiots is beyond me... but I'm guessing that scene we see in the trailer where the villagers dump a dead police officer into the lake is probablly so that the lake monster can feed on it.
But there is still a lot of plot to be revealed. We still don't know why Ada Wong came to Spain, why the villagers kidnapped the president's daughter, why the villagers want to become crazy and what the El Gigante and Villager Chief and Monks have anything to do with the story.
EDIT #4:
The PAL Release for the game is said to be in March 2005.

Post by: Zero_Plague on October 29, 2004, 05:27:39 PM
Be warned, you may consider some of these to be spoilers.
- The monks are called 'Heretics' and their cult is called 'Los Iluminados' which translates to 'The Visionaries'.
- There will sipposedly be many bonus games and side-puzzles.
- For some unexplained reason as of yet, the Village Chief does not kill you on sight even when you meet him for the second time.
- A lot like 'Parasite Eve', each weapon can be enhanced/upgraded in some way to make it more powerful.
- About the whole, 'Lake Monster causing the infection' story, no offical source has confirmed it so for now, it'll be considered a rumor.
- And also from the demo hacking, a 'TO DO' list will appear on your map screen that will list multile objectives that you have not yet completed.
- The Japanes Resident Evil 4 website has been updated with a wallpaper that can be downloaded in three resolutions.
- Resident Evil 4 has also won the award for, 'Game Awards Future' at the Cesa Game Awards. Pictures can be locatedhere.
- New Scans are up for download. There are sixteen in total.

By the way, what was the point that you were trying to make by bringing that topic back up again? That Capcom were after the money and not the positive criticism? Well, obviously Capcom will be after the money as equally as they would be after their popularity created by fanboyism... But the point that I was trying to get across... was that there will be many more Resident Evil games that'll be released after Resident Evil 4, and also that there'll be a Resident Evil game released on a Nintendo system after Resident Evil 4.
Like you said in the topic, we can't see the future and know what Capcom is going to do, so how 'bout you stop jumping to such negative conclusions all the time because frankly... we don't know what the Hell might happen. You may be right and Capcom won't release another Resident Evil game after 4... or you may be wrong and the Resident Evil franchise might continue to "flow on".
Regardless... I know that you hate me and it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, so how about you send me a creative PM offending me because I'd burn if I see this topic turn into a pointless argument like the last.

And Bill, even if we saw it coming, you would think Nintendo saw it coming too and forked over the dollars to keep it. They dropped the ball yet again.

But still... I've got the biggest feeling that RE4 will never be released on the PS2.
It doesn't matter now. The announcement alone has probably cut the sales of RE4 on the GC in half.

I believe this had more to do with Sony paying insane moneyhats to get it ported over, hence leaving Ninty ripped off by Capcom bigwigs...

Well, its just shows how Nintendo keeps making stupid decision, and before the Nintendo fanboys start flaming again, no one can deny that this is bad for Nintendo, neither can anyone deny that this game would have sold GCN because its been on the Famitsu Most Wanted list for months, or years actually. Well, still, the game comes for the GCN and theres worse things like George W Bush winning the election.

Well, what can you say, Nintendo is just stupid, if they paid that much money they really could have urged capcom to wait until the game is released to announce its PS2 release, it wouldnt harm sales at all, but now the GCN just cut its sales in half as someone said before.
And that's the biggest problem, Why announce it now to kill sales? Great idea. Its an embarrassment.

Oh well... most of the fanboys will be getting the Gamecube version anyway, but right now, I don't really care what happens. Then again, I guess it'll bring a lot of newcomers into the 'Resident Evil' world but that can be good and bad both ways.
Ugh, I'm not going to crap on with this... I'll just do my normal "thing", look for new news regarding RE4 and care less about it being on the PS2. But before I move on... just take a look at this.
Anyway, a few more updates:
- You're able to trade in items with the Arms Merchant for money and also get them cleaned to improve their resale value.
- Location information on the 'caves' area: Lamps line up along the walls and by shooting them, they explode.
- A new location has been confirmed... The Docks. The crazed villagers also have the ability to swim from walkway to walkway.

So basically, Ben Judd (apparently an American working for Capcom in Japan, who has frequent contact with guys like Shinji Mikami and Keiji Inafune) is saying that we need to calm down and understand that Capcom had no choice but to kick Nintendo while they're down (and undercut the sales of their own game while they're at it), because Capcom's a faceless heartless corporation. The word "exclusive" means nothing to them beyond six months, and money is the only thing that matters to them.
Good to know.

Capcom decided that Money was more important than Values/Ethics/Morales/Ones Word/ ect.
They sold out plain and simple!
If Mega Man X series and the Resident Evil Series where not my most favorite series of all
time I would never consider buying a Capcom game EVER again.
RE4 is my most anticapted game in my 21 years on this planet. If it wasnt for that I
wouldn't buy it.
I have RE0, RE1, RE2 on N64, Mega Man X on Snes. All the games I own are either Nintendo
First Party/ Exlusive, EA Sports or Capcom games.
And Benjudd spare me this:
"Lets escape from reality into a morally perfect utopia where none of us lie and we are all
perfect beings..."
Talk about PR Spin! Is this supposed to be an excuse. So the world is full of lairs so that
supposed to make it okay. What's the saying "If everyone jumps off a bridge......"
I will buy this game the day it is released, but I will be mad when the PS2 version gets
all the bonus material and all the cool extras.
I refuse to buy a non Nintendo console. I got every one Nintendo ever made except Virtual
Boy. See Nintendo fans are smart. I'm a hardcore RE fan but im not paying $39.99 for a
several year old port of RE2 OR RE3. They where supposed to be $19.99 yet another Capcom
lie.....
Product Number 2 was just garbage, and Capcom is mad we didnt buy it. Viewtiful Joe sold
well and what does Capcom do, port it over to PS2 and make the sequel multiplatform. Its a
lose lose for Nintendo.
Ask yourself this:
Is Capcom more interested in making Great, Highly Rated games, Critcally Acclaimed games,
that garner mediacore sales, or releasing a crappy "Mature" game that that goes quadruple
platinum and makes them Millions of dollars.
The power of the allmighty yen.....
Money is definatley the root of all evil......

It exists in the love/hate category. I'd take P.N.03 over any/all of the Mega Man X crap (I do own X1, X2, X3 on SNES, love them, thank you) that's come out since the PSX days. Shinji Mikami had quite a few good ideas in this project (yes, before he started reworking Resi4), it just had the unfortunate accessibility flaw of not giving the player the proper idea of how the game should be played. That was the biggest problem; many reviewers didn't know how to approach the game mechanics and objectives, and instead simply lost sight and marked down the game for not playing like other generic 3rd-person jump-up/down character shooter adventures. Not right.
I think GameSpy's review was one of the scarce few that gave it a fair enough look to realize what's going on in the game. P.N.03 is a uniquely presented take on classic arcade shoot'em-ups like Gradius and 1942. It applies those reflex-intensive "defense over offense" fundamentals to a character system. The emphasis is on weaving thru gunfire to position yourself for clear shots. Since you have automatic targeting, aim is not an issue, giving the play priority to movement and position. And since you're rewarded (in an arcade sense: points/money) for destroying enemies in quick succession (seconds between each), you're inclined to maintain a constant forward motion to reach the next enemy before the combo timer runs out. This is why me and maybe 3 other people enjoy P.N.03; for its reflex-intensive "arcadey" feel in a "modern" shell/interface. I'd rate it a GOOD 7.5, for having solid core mechanics and just lacking bells and whistles. Most other sites would give it a BAD 7.5 cuz they thought the game had "obvious" problems when actually the problems were with the reviewers.
Cross-posting is bad for your rectum.

You know, I guess you're right... you're one-hundred percent right. We've got some members on these boards saying that they will NEVER by a console that didn't involve Nintendo in its production. Fanboys are so... what's the word? "Stubborn" and "hot-headed" I guess I'll have to use. Not the best description, but it's true. I know that in many times I'm stubborn when I don't get what I want and sometimes even... fiery, but what you have to keep in mind, is that you are exactly the same.
You're a fanboy of Nintendo, no doubt... like hundreds upon hundreds of other members on these boards that are right now saying... "God damn Capcom can't keep themselves in line. They're suckers when it comes to money." Then there are people on the Playstation boards that are saying, "Why are the GCN users carrying on? Sony needs Resident Evil back where it started.", and then there are people on the Resident Evil boards commenting such things like, "At least it'll attract more members into the Resident Evil world. Capcom may be pleased".
You see? We argue against fanboyism but what we don't get is that WE ARE all fanboys and we don't even realise how stubborn WE can be. So before you open your mouth regarding how pathetic fanboyism is, look around the members you post with. Fanboyism is everywhere, and as stubborn as it may be, we've got to respect and live with it.

seriously, the port isnt that surprising, PS2 strongest games the GTA series also got ported, its just stupid they announced it now, but maybe nintendo could have stopped that aswell, i guess both are to blame, and i also think its time to let it go, we cant change it anymore, just buy RE4 so another one would atleast be developed for Revolution
Post by: Dracula on November 02, 2004, 07:06:38 AM
First of all we have no real Tennis games. Sega could have given us Virtua Tennis, but instead they gave us the lousy Virtua Soccer, which is by far one of the worse sports games ever. We also miss a good Rally game, and not to be forgetting the countless other 3rd party games we miss out on. There is no need to write about all the games that I would have liked to play on the GC, as that is a known issue.
But what bothers me the most, is all the great RPGs I as a GC only owner am missing out on. The good RPGs released on the GC can be counted on one hand, and as a RPG fan, it just is not enough for me. I want to play more RPGs as that is one of my favorite genres.
Basically what I'm saying is that, even people like me, who has been die hard Nintendo fans for almost 20 years, are now considering to buy atleast a second console, in addition to the Nintendo one, and if it continues like this, there is no other way for Nintendo then to turn into a 3rd party developer/publisher like Sega, and pull out of the hardware market.
I really don't see any future for Nintendo in the hardware market, if things stay as they are. Nintendo are getting killed out there. MS have taken over the 2nd spot, and Nintendo would be lucky to sell 10 million consoles in the next generation. I'm pretty sure MS will come out even harder the next time, now that they have established themselves. And most of GC owners own a second console anyway now. The PS2 owners do not.
About RE4, I doubt that it could have sold anymore GCs (atleast not increased the userbase drastically) by staying an exclusive, because a couple of games can not change the image Nintendo have managed to create for themselves. Nintendo have been too occupied with making profits, that they have forgotten that some losses now, could help them in the future. Nintendo should have paid/ivested more money to/in developers to develop new software for the GC.
At the moment, I regeret missing out on the PSX in the last generation and the PS2 in this one. 25 is too old for being blind on what the other consoles have to offer.

What's kinda funny is how people's view changed, capcom didn't. Nintendo had a deal with Capcom just to get the series exclusive, which pissed off alot of PS owners since the series started on the PS to begin with.
Now, Capcom's doing the exact same thing---going for the gold. Nothing new at all.
You should be happy getting the game to begin with and getting most likely the better version.

But in any case, like I've said earlier, RE4 could not have sold a substantial amount of GCs. Other games have failed to drastically increase the sales of GC, so I doubt that this one game could have made that much of a difference. I'm really not that angry about it going to the PS2. I'm more pissed off at Nintendo these days anyway, to care about what Capcom decides to do with one of their games, no matter how big it might have been.
I really hate the way Nintendo threw away the opportunity to bring an epic RPG from Square to the GC, when it let Square develop for the GBA. Instead of getting a great epic RPG, we got the absymal (I admit the game was not that bad, but compated to what we GC gamers were expecting it was downright lousy) Crystal Chronicles. The game sold nearly 900 000 copies worldwide, but thats because GC owners were starved for a new epic RPG. The only RPG (worth mentioning) we had on the GC at that point was Skies of Arcadia (a great game, but a port of a couple of years old DC game).
This is a game you must not only own 3 GBAs to play, but you must also have 3 friends who are interested in playing these kind of games. I do have 2 GBA's, but no friends of mine wanted to play that game for longer then 15 minutes (which I can't blame them for, as the game was not that good to begin with, regardless of whether you played it single or multi player). Nintendo tried to sell GCs by using the GBA, but it had not worked in the past, and it sure as hell was not going to work this time, especially given the bad quality of the game they were trying to sell it with.
If I'm not mistaken, the Q fund was used to finance the development of this game. And in return Square got to give us the FFTA on the GBA. A game that was more or less build on the same principles as FFT, with a different (more childish) story. The story of this game was so weak, it could put any serious RPG gamer off. I hate this game. And now they are giving us remakes of the first 2 Final Fantasys. Just like every other every other 3rd party developer uses the GBA to earn easy money (by making nearly direct ports of their old games), and then pisses all on Nintendo by using that money to fund rival consoles' (mostly PS2) games, SquareEnix is doing it to.
As for Mario Tennis being a "real" tennis game. I would not have bought Mario Tennis, but since there is no other option on the GC, I'm almost forced to. Sure Mario Tennis is decent, but its not an actual Tennis game. Its more of a tennis game with Mario characters in it, which means that it also doens't use actual Tennis rules.
I want a tennis game like the legendary Super Tennis, where I can't pull of super natural moves. I don't want to get power ups in a Tennis game, I want to play a regular tennis game, with no power ups.
Nintendo might make most of the profits, but that won't help the company much in the long run. Nintendo's profits on the home console market is decreasing, and it will continue to do so, unless Nintendo starts to approach the market differently. The N64 sold twice as much as the GC, even if the GC is still selling, I don't think it will ever sell more then 20 million units.
Also Mario 64 sold 5 times as many copies as Mario Sunshine. Ocarina of Time sold more then Wind Waker, and so on. The only platinum seller the GC has in Japan is Smash Bros Melee.
Nintendo needs to make changes, its even started to loose its most loyal fans. I've stuck with Nintendo through thick and thin, I missed on several classic games in the previous generation, and I've missed out on maybe even more classic games in this generation, and there is only to a certain point the gamer in me can let him be dictated by the Nintendo fan in me. There is a limit for everything, and Nintendo sure has reached the limit of patience in its most loyal fans.
How much longer do we Nintendo fans have to suffer for Nintendo's stubberness? I know 15 GC owners, 10 of those GCs were partially or fully financed by me (I either gave those away as presents to friends/family members, or paid half the price for those who were somewhat interested in the console, the GC costs only around $100 here in Norway, and that is by far the cheapest home console ever here in Norway, even a dying DC costed more), and 80% of these people own a PS2 or an Xbox as well.
Thats were the market is going, some are buying the GC as a second console, most are just ignoring it altogether. Nintendo needs to change or else its profit will continue to decrease until there will no longer be any profit for the company, and thats when Nintendo will realise that it should not have ignored those who have kept it alive for all these years. The loyal Nintendo fans who have stood by the company for nearly 20 years.
Btw, I bought RE and RE0, and enjoyed both. I will also buy RE4, regardless of it being on the PS2 or not.

That's a bad comparison. The settings are different (comparing the "old" castle to the "new" castle would be more appropriate); the times of the day are different, causing different magnitudes of lighting and shadowing; the camera angles are too different, with one fairly distant from the character and the other close enough to see wall textures (Resi4 is typically not played by moving closely along walls); one screen shows a fair amount of space while three-quarters of the other screen is covered by a wall/window at close range, blocking the view of the rest of the villagers' and town geometry and architecture.

- You're able to buy extra slots from the merchant that you meet several times in the game which will make your inventory bigger obviously letting you handle more stuff at once.
- Supposedly, the normal mode is extremely intense and is certainly much harder when compared to the other normal modes in Resident Evil.
- As Pro666 already said, it'll be 2 discs.
- A special DVD will be given out to those who pre-order Biohazard 4 from Japan. The price is 8190 Yen all up which is the highest price yet for a Resident Evil game.
- Both Resident Evil 4 sites have been updated.

cacpcom "I wonder why the cube version didn't sell as well?"
Post by: Ian Sane on November 06, 2004, 08:16:36 PM
However I think the Cube version of RE4 will still sell the best. Since it comes out first anyone who owns a Cube, even if they own another console, will buy the Cube version. The Cube's price cut made it a popular second console for PS2 and Xbox owners and odds are they'll get the version that comes out first. The Cube version will sell best but Capcom will ignore it and cut Cube support anyway because of poor PS2 sales.
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on November 07, 2004, 02:46:29 AM
Look the GCN only cost 100$ or 80 euros, and you get Mario Kart for free. If I hadnt got a cube yet and the only games that would interest me are RE4 and the new Zelda, I would still buy one.
I just bought the new PS2 just for San Andeas, MGS3 and Pro Evolution 4.

In today's issue of Famitsu, Capcom has stated that Biohazard/Resident Evil 4 is still scheduled as a GameCube exclusive, debunking intense rumouring from earlier this week that foretold of PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the hotly anticipated horror title.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm a dumb ass. I just noticed the date on this article: January 9, 2004.
Still, funny to see that Capcom is full of it, and always has been.

i was in the middle of a crowded mall and still had some fear factor put into me by the game.
i can not believe how intense the ai seems so far in it.
you can not just duck into a building to collect your thoughts as they will find a way in after you. bashing out windows from a back way or bashing in a front door they even throw up a ladder to a second story room .
i was always looking forward to this game but am so anxious now that i really wish it was out now. the demo put silent hill 4 and 2 to shame. the controls seemed pretty good although it seems that when you are shooting you are stuck in a non moving state now unless i just did not get that part figured out.
THIS IS A MUST HAVE GAME!

For those of you who are illiterate, it means developers at capcom are upset with capcom. There's also a rumor that capcom's employees will leave after the cube version is finished, and that mikami won't have anything to do with the ps2 version.

Merchant Information:
The shotgun will cost 24,000.
The rifle will be 14,000.
The almighty rocket launcher is 30,000.
Silenced Handgun will be 2,000.
And lastly, the stock handgun will be 10,000.
But remember, this is all from the Biohazard 4 disc. Capcom might change the prices around for the Resident Evil 4 version, but I'm really not sure.
Play-Asia also stated that the bonus DVD will feature a "making-of" Resident Evil 4.

This unfortunate move will most likely put thousands of plot-holes into Resident Evil 5 if they continue with 4's story or even possibly stories from 1,2 and 3. Unlikely though. You can bet that there'll be a whole new storyline... probably a new one for each game?

Yes but I guess this makes the game far too frustrating for many people, and noerdays that just doesnt work. People are quickly turned off by such hurdles, unless the game is so awesome you accept anything to beat it.

-----------------------------------------------------
Here's a new Kobayashi interview:
New Kobayashi Interview:
GW: Why the sudden announcement to make it on PS2?
Kobayashi: In order to help stablize our revenue and create better relations with shareholders and increase the value of our stock we chose to port RE4. It was purely a business decesion.
GW: Despite your previous claims on RE4 being GC exclusive.
Kobayashi: When I made those comments, I was the acting producer on RE4. Having said that, at the time it was a choice we made that RE4 could generate a profit (break even) on the GC. And as a producer, that is my only concern. For the game to be reputable and generate pure profit. And I believe it could have. But there are other factors that were outside of the development staff that caused the game to be ported. This deceision was made by non-developers, those whose job is to ensure the Capcom's future finicial sucess. Apparently, the PS2 was seen as extra profit, and thus we were told to port it. My say is only limited, but at the time, and my perspective I was 100% confident and sure it would remain GC exclusive.
GW: Forever?
Kobayashi: As far as I was concerned, sure. But keep in mind, the PS2 port will come 3 to 5 Quarters after the GC release. In our relationship with Nintendo, they still see this game as Nintendo Exclusive.
GW: Can you comment on these rumors about many of the design staff leaving.
Kobayashi: Personally, I'm upset with Capcom's deceision but as a producer I understand where they are coming from. Regarding the other staff, this isn't a rumor. It's truth. They are moving to Clover Studios. However, that is still a studio that is onwed by Capcom. It's a part of Capcom. Profits and pubslishing is still from Capcom etc.
GW: So Mikami is done with the RE series?
Kobyashi: I do not know. Depending on how well some of our newer large titles sell (DMC3 and Viewtiful Joe 2) determine a lot of future things. I cannot say. But if Mikami wanted to , he can and very well make another RE game. Clover studios has full access to the licensing equipment, brands etc that belong to Capcom, and obviously vice-versa. That is why Dante was in Viewtiful Joe (ps2-port). Dante belongs to Capcom but Clover still has rights to him just like any other Capcom Studio.
GW: Is it true that many of the design staff is upset with the higher "ups" at Capcom?
Kobayashi: No. Definantly not. And Never. They are all hardworking people and ultimately, they all want their game to be played by more people than not. We understand that some Nintendo fans are upset, but that is their problem. They need to understand that a company must maximize each games profit to stablize revenue and generate a higher return so we can continue to make quality and ground-breaking games.
GW: You talk about maxing out each game's potential revenue, so why don't you consider porting the DMC series to Gamecube? Being that it's a multi-million+seller, it could certainly find a home on the GC console as DMC and RE are very similar games in terms of target audience and fan base.
Kobayashi: This could happen at many requests...
GW: And finally, what do you have to say to those that are thrilled about the news, those that are concerned for Capcom, and those that aren't so glad to hear what has happened?
Kobayashi: RE4 has been designed for the Gamecube. Beyond that I cannot say more. But certainly keep that in mind. It will also appear on the GC early 2005, almost a year before the PS2 port. That is still exclusive in business relation terms. We only do this to stablize more profit, so that we can create stronger games and help prepare us for the large R&D costs that come with the next-generation consoles. We hope you'll play RE4, it's a great game I am truly proud of. Please, be optimistic that the RE series will now expand to greater lengths and more people can be introduced to the game series they all know and love, and help support.
------------------------------
There is also a new picture of the chainsaw controller at Lik-Sang located here. It's $50.00 U.S dollars, $65.00 Australian dollars and $39.00 Euro-dollars.
And lastly, here is some RE4 information. Just be warned, they may be seen as spoilers.
- Sometimes Ashley acts independently while you play as Leon. Obviously, like already seen in the trailer, you can control her. Boys, get ready to eat your hearts out as you let her crawl underneath tables.
- Similar to Resident Evil Zero, when you are playing as Leon, you can give Ashley instructions such as, "Wait" or "Follow".
- Also like Resident Evil Zero, you need to co-operate with Ashley to complete puzzles and all that jazz. For instance, you could see in one of the pictures that Leon was giving Ashley a boost. All these commands are done by using the 'action' button, 'A'.
- This time round, you can have some fun in Resident Evil by filling Ashley full of bullets. Apparently, one bullet is enough to kill her, so watch where you're shooting. If you do kill her or if she does get killed, the game will be over.
- Remember seeing the monks or villagers carrying Ashley away? Well if they take her away to another location, the game will automatically be over.
- Like seen in the pictures, Leon keeps in contact with a female agent back at HQ... sort of like what Metal Gear Solid had done. The woman's name is Ingrid Hannigan, but the spelling of her name may be incorrect. She'll inform you of what's happening or where you need to go next.
- Already stated, you can save as many times as you want without the use of Ink Ribbons.
- Lastly, if you walk into water your connection with Ingrad will be gone for the rest of the game. This includes being knocked out of the boat at the lake monster battle... ... ...okay, that was only a lie. Your connection can never be lost.

It's the first Resident Evil game I've ever played, or seen in action for that matter, and I only got a few minutes with it. It's pretty cool. The environment was really gorgeous. Leon walks pretty slowly, which provides for some creepy situations, but is ultimatley annoying. Press R to switch in to "aiming mode' with your laser-guided pistol, which is the only way to really look around (the C-stick moved hte camera up and down, but not side-to-side). The controls in this mode are not inverted, which is why I had a problem, but it shouldn't be too hard to get used to. One thing that was missing that would have really helped would be the ability to strafe. Taking corners without strafing will be creepy, but overall it makes the feeling of moving Leon around too robotic and not lifelike enough (which is apparently THE problem in prior RE games *shrugs*). Start switches to the map and Y to the menu; I think those two should have been switched.
Overall though it was way cool, but I think for someone without playing a prior RE game like me, it's a better choice to save $20 and get the RE package with RE0 and REmake on it.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on November 14, 2004, 06:28:24 PM
If you play the demo enough, you'll realize strafing isn't all that useful/important given the [open] design of the village and the urgency of the scenario.

I only played the game up until I freed a little doggy, which was like five minutes gametime
I thought I had gone through my options, but I knew there had to be a way to run, I just didn't figure it out. I thought there was probably a way to invert the controls too, just in before game options or something.

Some more RE4 hacking with the Action Replay leaves us with this:
Side-Scrolling mode. This may possibly also be an unlockable feature.
Also, you're also allowed to turn your enemies into various things like cows, wolves, chickens or even bear traps. You're even able to take them out of the village so that you can freely roam the area.
Also, it's not exactly RE4 related, but if anybody is interested... Outbreak: File 2 will now be online for PAL regions as well unlike the original Outbreak.

Call me Zorro and slash that dress off in the name of LUUUUUUV.
A. and A.
Leon will have his hands full. Happily. Both hands, yes.
This is just my observation of a screenshot, but apparently while playing as Ashley you can pickup sh1t and throw it at the enemies, I guess to help you run away since Ashley doesn't engage in combat. I saw her carrying something like a vase or chair, and the action button was highlighted on the screen. Also, Ashley (and likely Leon as well) can venture thru the game with the aid of a flashlight (sounds like one of the old Resi4 versions huh?). I'm hoping the lighting/shadows are nice and fancy. I noticed some very subtle, yet interesting self-shadowing in the demo, unlike Splinter Cell's rediculous super-contrast blackasnight/brightasday shadow/lighting. Here, some of the self-shadowing seemed to take the outdoor brightness into account. I want more.

In-game Leon from RE4 looks like video game boy-band material.
Lady Red from RE2 looks like mysterio-personal-secretary-undercover agent material, and possible bad-dresser big sis to Lei Fang.

- Eggs, fish and snakes are used to restore health. I knew about the eggs and fish, but.... snakes?
- It is said that we may be able to play as Ada later in the game and use her wiregun considering that it has a laser attachment.
- A hooded figure that has been seen in several areas may be this unknown, Lord Sadler. Just for a quick note, the Village Chief and Lord Sadler are two completely different people.
- We may now be able to break glass with our hands instead of wasting a bullet on it.
- There will be optional objectives in the missions to complete as well as primary objectives that have to be completed to pass a certain area.
- For a good summary of all this information and a lot more, watch these multiple videos that gamespot has put up for us:

Thank GameSpot with kisses and hugs and Xmas presents for not watermarking any of the screens including the nice full-body centerfold artwork piece.

All I can say is the AI is amazing. Running around, jumping out of windows. Running across roof tops and jumping down off second stories to barley get away from a chain saw is intense.
If you had ever gotten your head gnawed off by the blade then you know exactly what I mean.
The controls work, they do take some getting used to after playing halo 2 so much lately but I am hoping they have an inverse look option for aiming. The options on the demo do not work.
If you got a local game stop your well acquainted with then get yourself up there and try and get them to hook you up with a demo. Supposedly they are only supposed to be given out with new cube purchases or other Nintendo products.
On a different note. Is it true that RE 4 was announced for the XBOX shortly after the PS2 port was announced? I am assuming that the person mentioning that was misinformed but figured I would check since the reason for the PS2 port is money then there is nothing keeping them from doing xbox either.

It contains a movie from RE Zero through RE 4

Cumulatively, I've spent well over $100 on this phenomenon called "Resident Evil 4" over the past year, and yet I still don't have the actual game.
- May 2004 Famitsu Wave DVD (first official, "debut" trailer)
- Sept. 2004 Famitsu Wave DVD (2nd trailer, from E3 2k4, tho sadly had VHS quality)
- Weekly Famitsu Capcom Special Issue (JPN Bio4 demo, high quality E3 trailer)
- Jan. 2005 Famitsu Wave DVD (hopefully it's the 3rd trailer, from TGS 2k4)
- U.S. Resi4 demo

Standard Air Mail shipping for 1 magazine costs me US$4.
Liksang usually sells new JPN or US games for roughly US$60, while it costs US$50 for people in the States. A $10 increase.
But since you want Resi4, I guess you're in luck.
Resi4 Liksang
Liksang's currently offering the game (pre-order) with Free shipping worldwide, for a limited time, so your TOTAL cost will only be about US$60.
~~~~~
As an alternative, Play-asia.com is offering Resi4 for just US$50, and US$3 for worldwide shipping. Play-Asia is also based in Hong Kong, i think, and this might ultimately be cheaper. Another good store.

Cumulatively, I've spent well over $100 on this phenomenon called "Resident Evil 4" over the past year, and yet I still don't have the actual game.
- May 2004 Famitsu Wave DVD (first official, "debut" trailer)
- Sept. 2004 Famitsu Wave DVD (2nd trailer, from E3 2k4, tho sadly had VHS quality)
- Weekly Famitsu Capcom Special Issue (JPN Bio4 demo, high quality E3 trailer)
- Jan. 2005 Famitsu Wave DVD (hopefully it's the 3rd trailer, from TGS 2k4)
- U.S. Resi4 demo
No offense but you buying it for 24 dollars is kind of silly... all you had to do was go to Gamestop or EB, but 5 bucks towards a pre-order and they'd give it to you... you don't have to pick up the game if you don't want to, worst case scenario your out 5 bucks but get a demo disk.

From a slightly different viewpoint, the potential demo copy I might've gotten would've been put to better use by someone who's still new to the experience, given that I've had the JPN demo since it came out. I mainly want the US demo for collecting purposes.
And I'm not fond of GameStop.
Post by: zelos_rules on December 09, 2004, 02:40:19 PM
So you have demo? Can you tell me if the ammo and herbs are scarce or not? Also is there moments in the game when your caught offguard by countless enemies in different directions?
You dont have to answer them but it would be nice if you could.
Thanks
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 09, 2004, 03:56:01 PM
The abundance and locations of items in the JPN and US demos are different.
- In the JPN demo, I know there are 4-5 separate herbs out in the open than can be picked up. You just have to find them yourself, of course that may be difficult the very first time if you're being chased. Similar things can be said of ammo/grenades. There's enough herbs/ammo lying around to get you thru the demo if you're not wasteful -- enough to let you try out different options and strategies. There's also a number of breakable boxes/containers which randomly hold ammo/herbs/money/or nothing at all. Additionally, enemies will randomly drop money/health/ammo depending on how(method) and how well(were you hurt?) you defeat them, so there's the potential to fill your inventory with lots of great stuff -- and thus more gory blasto fun for you.
- In the US demo setup in GameCube kiosks, the locations of all the plain-view items were different, except the shotgun. There seemed to be less free herbs lying around.
Being caught offguard from different directions is largely up to the player. Where you decide to stand and aim, what weapons you use, and how well you can clear a crowd of crazies factor into this. If you stand in the middle of the town, where you can at least have 5 meters (radius) of space all around you, they'll definitely try to approach you from your blind spots. One time, I stood between a narrow strip between 2 houses and I focused my aim at a group closing in from one opening. Sure enough, another group approached from the opposite end in an attempt to make a Leon Sandwich. They're like the raptors from Jurassic Park. The enemies in your view "stupidly" tend to slow down once they're fairly close to you, sort of inviting you to shoot them. What they don't want you to know is their brothers and sisters are running at you from behind so they could drive an axe into your back while you're busy paying attention to Uncle Jorge -- it's a subtle example of misdirection and teamwork on their part, and usually unfolds in a matter of seconds. So, some nice RUSTY STEEL surprises can be derived from your positioning and your ability to keep track of the enemies. Whether you wish to constantly run-stop&shoot-run, or back into a dead end to create a "divide & conquer" scenario, its apparent the Village was designed to let you try a variety of strategies.
I'm usually not caught offguard because I can hear them coming: I can hear them shouting, I can hear them stepping (great audio, btw), tho that doesn't mean I always had time to react.
The enemies weren't countless, tho it can feel that way. There's enough for a nice shooting gallery, or enough to tell you your ass should RUN. In the demo, the flow of incoming villagers seemed constant.

Anyway, here is a small amount of information (that may be old) that has been taken from the sexed up version of reH.
Capcom has said that Resident Evil 4 will be released on March 18, 2005. We're hoping that this is the true release date for PAL areas and that it will not be delayed... again. Also, I'm not sure if it has been said recently, but the PS2 version of RE4 that is released a year after will now happen to inclue new features and without a doubt, new cut-scenes.
Things just get better every day, don't they? I'm sure that Nintendo are feeling happy about this :S .

Not too long back, Capcom mentioned that there will be multiple cut-scenes in RE4 (obviously), but that's not the suprise yet. They stated that some cut-scenes will give you control of Leon and here are some examples. I previously posted the pictures that you saw where Leon was fighting another human during a cut-scene. Well, although it is a cut-scene, you'll have control over Leon by hitting buttons that will dodge and attack and so forth. Another small example of this is the corridor that is guarded by lasers. A cut-scene will take place but you'll still have to do work to jump, dodge, duck and do fancy tricks over the laser beams.
According to Capcom, these interactive cut-scenes are very intense and won't be as easy as they sound. Other minor examples would be the cut-scenes where you have to push 'A' as fast as you can to out run the giant boulder or swim back to your dinky boat in the lake after the monster knocks you out of it.
Other information:
The official website for the chainsaw controller can be located here.
Some new pictures located here show some concept art and an action scene that'll take place on the mine carts.

I like how IGN gave it a 9.8... same score as Halo 2.
But I am slightly predisposed to be pissed off, as of now. I can't imagine any game worth a higher score than MP2's. Unless RE4 becomes my new favorite game ever, I disagree with the score.
Here's hoping it does...

- The 'Garrador', which is a boss in the dungeons actually turns out to be a common enemy in the game.
- There will be 2 El Gigante's.
- Los Plagas is an ancient plague that the cult has discovered.
- This 'plague' brings empty suits of armour to life...
- Lord Saddler actually turns into a spider that Leon fights later on. ('Pennyface the killer clown' anyone?)
- During the Saddler boss fight, Ada throws a rocket launcher onto a platform (A nice way of showing that Capcom can't be bothered to create a new boss death for once)
- A pendant is said to be cursed by anyone who holds it.... okay...
- Wesker and Hunk will be playable once you unlock them in a mini game.
- Some monks can carry rocket launchers.
- The full name of Saddler is 'Oswald Saddler'. Some believe that this may have relation to 'Ozwell Spencer'.
- Jack Krauser is the boss with the knives I believe. Leon previously worked with him.
- Bitores Mendez is the village chief.
- Ramon Salazar is the pirate boy. Although, my memory is blank, so I can't remember no pirate being in it....
- Scan 1, scan 2, scan 3, Scan 4, scan 5.
Just to answer your possible question that might spark up later.... No, you were not drunk while reading all that.

Greg Kasavin will do the review for this game, and it will be posted Monday night. For some of his notable reviews he gave a 8.7 to MGS3:SE, a 9.5 to World of Warcraft, and a 9.7 to Metroid Prime.
Gamespot has reviewed 22 Resident Evil Games(Resident Evil(PS)10-25-1996 to Resident Evil Outbreak(PS2)3-31-2004). The average for these 22 reviews are 6.89.
The average of the best versions of the games in the main series is 8.72
Resident Evil 0(GCN)8.0
Resident Evil(PS)8.2
Resident Evil:Remake(GCN)8.9
Resident Evil 2(N64\PS)8.9
Resident Evil 3:Nemesis(PS)8.8
Resident Evil:Code Veronica(DC)9.5
The average score for other recently released high profile AAA games is 9.14
Half Life 2(PC)9.2
Doom 3(PC)8.5
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes(GC)9.1
Halo 2(XBOX)9.4
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas(PS2)9.6
Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater(PS2)8.7
World of Warcraft(PC) 9.5
Facts (Taken from gamerankings.com)
-No game in the last 2 years has gotten higher than a 9.6
-The average score from Gamespot is 67.9.
-Gamespot reviews are higher than average 43.9% of the time and lower than average 56.1% of the time.
-There is a 2.6 point difference between IGN-Cube and Gamespot Reviews. That would give Resident Evil 4 a 95.4(98-2.6) if it holds true.
Top Scores (Taken from gamerankings.com)
-The last game (1 of 4) to get a perfect score was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3(PS2). 10/28/2001
-The last game to get a 9.9 score was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2(DC). 11/6/2000
-The last game to get a 9.8 was Wario Land 3(GBC). 6/1/2000
-The last game to get a 9.7 was Metroid Prime(GC). 11/17/2002
-The last game to get a 9.6 was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas(PS2). 10/26/2004
-The last game to get a 9.5 was World of Warcraft(PC). 11/23/2004
Conclusion:
I think the most important part is the score they gave Code Veronica which was a 9.5. Obviously RE4 is the better game. I think that 9.5 was a slight overrate. My prediction of Gamespot RE4 Score is a 9.5. There are three reasons I won't go any higher.
1. It has a slightly harsh reviewer.
2. Gamespot has been stingy with very high scores over that last two years.
3. Gamespot score is usually lower than Cube-IGN score.
Score 9.5 Gamespot Editors Choice
Gameplay 9
Graphics 10
Sound 9
Value 9
Tilt 10

Here are some impressions of the first chapter without spoilers:
The graphics and especially art direction are great. There is some excellent use of subtle colouring with reds, and greens that really eccentuate the superb modeling. And the brown tone of the game works too, unlike Resident Evil 0.
The level design keeps one of the core fundamentals of the Resident Evil series, Exploration, despite a rather linear progression path. Nooks and alleys and little hidden treasures keep the spirit of discovery alive with in simple, limited maps. Great work.
The group dynamic of the villagers is exciting, adds tension and provides a satisfying strategic experience as figure how not to die.
That said, the A.I. can be weak on occasion, when villagers stop approaching you because you backed off a fair bit.
There are some really neat special effects that the GC is doing. Hopefully we'll see other games that use these. (Please Capcom, use this engine for one more game on GC, any game.)
For those of us that played Resident Evil: Code Veronica's 1st person Battle Mode ... Man have they ever improved the controls.
And finally, my highest level of praise; the pacing is amazing, you get breaks when you need them. You can often choose to fight or run. You have all sorts of weapon choices. The story pops up when you need a rest. Excellent pacing, definitely the most difficult and significant accomplishment by Capcom yet.
And I've only played the 1st chapter.
Thanks for listening.

RE4 is nothing less than spectacular. It has to be seen to be believed. It's so good that about 5 minutes into the game I granted Capcom forgiveness for bringing RE4 to the PS2 later this year. There is no way in hell the PS2 version will be this impressive.
So...who else (that bought RE4 at GameStop) opted for the Limited Edition Collector's Tin? As soon as I saw it, I had to have it. It's just such a classy looking package (I don't care for the RE4 cover art) - not that I care about the cover, but I figured RE4 was going to be somethig special, so I might as well go all out. The RE Prologue (bonus booklet) isn't anything worthy of mention but the numbered laser cell is beautiful and easily justifies the addtional $10.

Post by: Zero_Plague on January 11, 2005, 11:01:19 PM
Anyway, it's great to know that everybody is enjoying it. From what I hear on reH, it gets really hard and some people have said that they've died at least 20 times already, namely from the rolling boulder. RE4 hasn't shipped as of yet for me, but according to Lik-Sang, they'll have it here just after the end of this week, can this is going to be the longest wait I've had in a while.
Also, great thing is is that there are heaps of modes and extra cool stuff to be unlocked, so replayability will do nicely. Can't wait to see your videos, Pro666.
Anyway, I'm heading off now to anticipate this game even more.
Good luck.
Post by: PaLaDiN on January 12, 2005, 01:56:50 AM
^%@#.
There goes most of my anticipation for this game.
What the hell is that about? Didn't RE1 have subtitles? Would it kill them to just stick in whatever script they're feeding the actors? Screw Capcom, I've got half a mind not to buy this game anymore.
At least tell me whatever they talk about isn't important.
I'm not exaggerating or nitpicking here... I'm hearing-impaired, this means a lot to me.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on January 12, 2005, 02:00:22 AM
Someone else needs to elaborate on the dialogue (how important are they, and are they important to the gameplay or just the general plot?) of the later cutscenes. I'm still extremely early in the game, and probably will remain there for the next few weeks.
~~~~~
Observations: The villager AI is noticeably faster and more vicious (calculating) than they were in the demos. Definitely intense. And the surround sound wonderfully enhances the sense of dread and panic, if you chose to let yourself be immersed in the game atmosphere (having the fearless point-n-shoot attitude would just be missing the point).

Zero, the intro video(s) I just capped are probably the last I'll get from Resi4. There's enough spoilers around as it is.

Unfortunately, the dialog helps to move the story along. If you're unable to hear what’s being said, there’s a good chance you’ll be missing out on essential plot revelations. I too, would have preferred the option of having subtitles because I like being able to read along with the dialog.
Sometimes voice acting is not very clear and reading it makes that unintelligible dialog much easier to deal with. While I wouldn’t tell anyone not to buy RE4 (because it’s just that good), since you are hearing impaired, you might want to consider a rental first so you can check out exactly what you’d have to deal with - if you were to buy it. Playing through the first chapter should provide enough sequences with dialog for you to be able to gauge whether or not RE4 would be an enjoyable experience for you, despite your hearing difficulties.

If that's all, I can deal with that. Game plots usually suck anyway.
I guess what I'm asking now is, do they say anything in the game that you actually need to know in order to figure out what to do, or am I going to have to consult a walkthrough at points?

All of that dialog seems to only occur through Leon's radio and, yes, there are subtitles. Subsequently, I've also noticed that Leon tends to report any major story revelations that occur in the cut scenes during his radio communications, so even without being able to hear what's being said in the cut scenes - you should get most of the "juicy" parts of the plot reiterated through the radio transmissions.

I’m happy for you.
Now go out there and kick some demonic, cult-religious villager ass!
When you get a chance to play it, please update us on your experience. I’d be quite curious to read how the game holds up in your situation. While minor, there are certain audible cues that alert you that trouble is coming – a change in musical score or villagers yelling in the background. Even with that, the game is incredibly challenging. While I’m sure it’s playable without being able to hear all of that, I just couldn’t imagine playing RE4 without having that (and I’ll use the word loosely since the game is hard) “advantage” of knowing a few seconds ahead of time that you’re about to have a run-in with some of the locals. Not being able to hear those cues must increase the difficulty level since every attack would be unexpected.
On second thought, not having those cues would probably make for the ultimate survival horror experience since you’d never be fully prepared for who/what ever is waiting to attack you. I might give it a try tonight – playing with the volume muted. It would be a whole new way to play.

I just got through Chapter 2, and I have Ashley. Poor Leon, they did something to him. I fought the "Thing under the Lake" and died several times in the process, but in the end I wore the beast down and like Ole Abe I stabbath The, with a spear
El Gigante is another beast entirely, It's a gruesome battle, but I will say this, "an Aqcuitance" will come to your aid
Heh, Ada saved my butt, I take it she left the note in the shed after the battle with Teh Thing.
I find the controls work... rather well. Only problem is that I had to fixed my C-stick to stay in neutral positon so I can control the camera when needed.
I do love it when the villagers run into those explosives, heh Classic!
I'm loving it, but I do wonder if we'll see this "3rd party"? Is lord Saddler what's left of Umbrella???... hmmm, intresting!
And what of Wesker? More questions are raised, and hopefully they will be answered.

This is where I am now. I have my own theories on the psychological nature of this foe…
While it’s purely speculation on my part, I will make it into a spoiler since it does contain a small amount of detail which could be a spoiler for some folks.
Right before you get to the first “el Gigante”, Leon finds out that 3 of them were created. While I’m probably wrong – I have a feeling that “el Gigante” isn’t necessarily evil. I think he’s mistreated (by villagers) and misunderstood. Since all he knows is violence, that’s all he can give. When the dog appears, it looks to me like he is chasing the canine around the courtyard like a massively overgrown child – looking to play, not to kill. This leads me to believe that “el Gigante” has the mind of a child and is only doing what it’s been taught to do. It is my gut feeling that perhaps by the time Leon reaches the third giant man-beast, he’ll be able to turn it against the villagers and make “el Gigante” an ally. I know I’m most likely reading too much into the situation and over analyzing this event, but still I have to wonder.

As it turns out I had a weird RE4 dream last night (seriously) where I saved Leon from "el Gigante" while it was distracted by the dog running around the courtyard. I pulled Leon into a shed and revealed a hole in the floor which lead to an underground cave. Weird dream, huh? This is game is so fu*kin' awesome I'm dreaming about it, LOL.

Damn. It took me about an hour to figure out how to finally beat that son of a bitch, LOL. Once you learn how to handle "el Gigante", it's pretty easy to beat. It took me a good 30 minutes before I saw the CLIMB command appear at the bottom of the screen because I was trying to keep my distance...

It seems the radio does tell you where you need to go, thank God for that.
Also, playing this game with hearing aids is crazy. I can still notice the dramatic music cues that mean an enemy's nearby (they do get your heart racing) as well as assorted screams and shouts (in Spanish, I take it... so you guys aren't getting that much more out of it unless you know Spanish) but I have no idea where they're coming from so I run around like a crazed rabbit and kill everyone in sight but they sneak up behind me and stick axes in my back.

Seriously me and my friend are now about the same place and we both have gone through the game a bit differently and we laugh at each other because i seem go let enemies get extremely close to me and knife them but i sometimes get my head chopped for being dumb, and i laugh at him cause he has stepped into a lot of bear traps, lol.

PaLaDiN - It sounds like you are able to hear just about everything. How do the cutscenes hold-up? Is that dialog a problem for you?
Everything about this game is downright creepy (wait until the sun sets – and you have to go through a cemetery. It is probably the eeriest experience I’ve ever had playing a game. Previous RE games have touched on this scenario – but that was nothing compared to the way RE4 does it.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to play this weekend and I’m literally stuck on Chapter 2-2 (no one left to kill and apparently nowhere to go since all of my exits are blocked off). I’ll figure it out once I get a chance to play again.

Those bear traps are a pain in the ass – BUT they do teach you to pay closer attention to your surroundings. Step in enough of them and sooner (or later) you’ll be on the lookout to make sure you don’t see any being masked by the shadows. Unfortunately, Ashley isn’t too bright and just can’t seem to avoid getting her ass caught up in those bear traps.

Post by: NWR_Lindy on January 17, 2005, 07:29:16 AM
It's less "old-style Resident Evil" and almost breaks into first-person shooter territory. It's kind of like a first-person shooter with a smidgeon less freedom control-wise, but I love how it's relatively free-roaming and you can backtrack as much as you want. It doesn't even feel like it's part of the Resident Evil series, to be honest. It feels like it's a takeoff of the series that's been done by a different developer, that's how different it feels.
And oh yeah, the graphics are AMAZING and the boss battles are INSANE. I'd say it's the best game on Gamecube, with Metroid Prime/Prime 2 coming in a very close second. I really can't rave about it enough.

You're not missing much other than the typical overacting - although it's much better than in most other games. Any major plot revelations made during the cutscenes are communicated back to Harrigan (or whatever her name is) over the two-way radio.

I'm not a fan of the series, but I'm a fan of the STARS and the "Mansion Incident" and all the 50+ year backstory leading up to the Mansion Incident. I like the Remake and Zero. But I've little to no care for what happened between RE1 and RE4.
I'm enjoying RE4 more than RE1 and RE0 combined.

I played RE1 (Remake) and RE2 for N64, and I liked neither. RE4 is probably one of my all time favorite games now. Controls and presentation can make THAT much of a difference.
Having completed the game now, in hindsight I must say it wasn't THAT hard (this coming from one who died 50 times
); it was a little bit below 'just right' IMO. There were a couple spots where I became strapped for health or ammo, but nothing major. All of my deaths came from trial and error situations and not out of frustratingly impossible ones, so that's great. I laughed after each time I died in a new spot because it felt like a challenge. Once you get the controls down and beef up your weaponry, the rest is fairly simple. After El Gigante I beat every boss on the first try. It really wasn't all that scary either. The only parts where I got remotely scared were when I faced the prisoner and fighting a regenerator for the first time. Perhaps I was having too much fun to be scared or something.All that said, it's really small nitpicks against one of the best games I've ever played. Hopefully for RE5 Capcom will focus on beefing up the fear factor (and adding a strafe perhaps? Even if it was only an A button function to come around corners with?) since everything else is pretty much perfect.
Also I must say I really wasn't expecting a GUN WAR to break out between Leon and Co. against the monsters near the end. That was kinda weird.

Yeah, that very same village 10min into the game where you first pickup the shotgun. You'll automatically trigger the Chainsaw guy if you enter the "shotgun house" within the time limit. Otherwise, I guess you could run around the village without entering that house, and play until the bell rings. I usually didn't wait that long in the demo cuz i wanted the satisfaction of 12-guage buckshot. However, you could've found Chainsaw Dude manually since he was waiting at the designated exit. Kill him there, enter the shotgun house (get the usual cutscene), then Chainsaw Guy comes back so you can kill him a second time *_*

What you said sounds very much like a Metroid/Zelda strategy, Paladin. Kill everything now, investigate later, heh. Why not replay the beginning village sometime? I think it's such a great opening to the game cuz of the variety of ways you can approach it. Like, in contrast to staying outdoors, just pickup some ammo and run directly to the shotgun house. Once you're there, "defend it." Keep the crazies at bay while they try to pour in thru the front door and the upstairs windows. Or goto the adjacent house and defend its tiny roof. Or from the beginning, fight your way from house to house to pickup all the items available while everyone's chasing you. All sorts of laughs and panic will ensue.

And yeah, I did adopt a Metroid/Zelda strategy... kill first, explore later. Good guess.
Finally, if I may add, the best house to defend is the small one on the right furthest away from you as you enter the village. As far as I can tell there's only one door to keep track of... but you do need to be good at shooting them so they don't rush and kill you while you reload. And by the way, the adrenaline rush when that happens...

We can't find anything in the options to make it widescreen/fullscreen, so does it maybe auto-detect? And maybe it's auto-detecting wrong on out TV right now?

He gave guilty gear a 2/10 because it was 2D. He gave MP a 7, suffering a 9, DMC2 a 9, ninja gaiden (xbox) a 7. do I need to continue. He doesn't give nintendo games anything over an 8. He gave Paper mario a 5 because he doesn't like to read. I can go all day with reasons he shouldn't be allowed to speak.

I've got Leons RPD costume and Ashley is wearing a very skimpy outfit I'm in the caste 2nd round and Ashely walked into the turnning wall trap.
Anyone wonder about Wesker's involvment? Krauser and him have both Mentioned Resurrecting Umbrella, yet didn't wesker went to work for another company? I remember seeing the intials on his shirt H.C.F. in Code Veronica. Hmmmm.... Couriser and couriser, Wesker has the T-Virus, T-Veronica, G and now the plagas. what is he gonna do with them all? heh

QuoteI'm tired of all this crap about how this game is so great, it isn't. I found it to have extremely linear repeditive gameplay, the enemies AI, which many claim to be great, is bad and worst the game is basically just a huge escort mission for Ashley who is an idiot and can't do anything, Does anyone actually enjoy escort missions? I don't see how anyone could. By the middle of the second disc I found this game so bland that I just stopped playing all together.

Maybe Gamepro decides scores by throwing darts blindfolded while strapped to a spinning wheel. Metroid Prime 2 received 5.0 in graphics while Halo2 and MGS3 both got 4.5 a couple months ago.

Story-wise, it was a little shallower than what Capcom was making it out to be. I feel that this connects with the lack of information that was included in the diaries and notes.
Anyway, putting all them negative points aside, it's a great game with a pretty good replay value seeing that there is quite a heap of stuff to unlock. It's shaping up to be my favourite Resident Evil game of the saga.

But I don't understand the censored headhots...are they saying there is still the exploding head animation.. just the head stays on? huh? o_O This doesn't make any sense, especially in Japan of all places.. Perhaps it was Nintendo's intervention, since they don't really have much a ratings system there andd any 4 year old could go buy this game.. but any 4 year old could also buy anime porn, many complete with nasty gratuitous violence thrown in for good measure... Doesn't make any sense to me... Well ok Americans are more used to the realistic type of blood and gore in RE4 but still Japan isn't a place where you'd think games would get censored.. But actually this was Capcom censoring it so who knows...

Japanese censorship system is just as screwy and filled with inexplicable holes as American.

EDIT: Oh and actually maybe I know why. It could NCL popping in and requesting some censorship... They definately are stricter than NOA, who doesn't care about anything (Sony made the PS2 BMX XXX censored while NOA didn't) and NOE doesn't seem to either (they have DS ads with naked chicks)...

BioZomboid4 game gives me the creeps in a different way than RE Remake, RE Zero, and ED, and on a different level.
In Remake/Zero I was like "Uhhh I DO NOT want to walk down that hall. I DON'T want to see another camera angle change that's so sudden that I jump at the detailed sight of a pre-rendered chair."
In Eternal Darkness it was like "Great Zephos what the hell'z gonna happen this time? I know *they* are all around me. The audio's cleverly driving me insane. *Bom BOMMMMMMMMMM..........* I'm going nuts anticipating what's at the blind end of the room as this nifty camera gradually, methodically leads me to my doo- GAH THE DOOR KNOCKED!"
As for Resi4, it's this feeling of almost being trapped while simultaneously still on-the-run which puts me under pressure and on the edge, in order words, it's prompting me to panic. Do I dread the enemies? or do I dread the pressure and confusion they create? They manage to get me to that point where I feel cornered and like those people in movies who know they're done for so they start screaming and shouting obscenities while unloading their weapons to the very last seconds of their lives then *splat*. Oh yes, if i'm not shouting obscenities, then it's definitely brewing in my head; it just needs a detonator. Therefore, "EEEWWWWWWWWWW oh no. oh no. Don't come any closer. you're askin' for it, buddy. hey, HEY get away GET AWAY!! *BLAMMMO* BETWEEN YOUR EYES B1TCH!!! Oh shi-"
And that's, well, fantastic. In response to Resi4's creepy crawliness, the game lets me reciprocate with LOTS AND LOTS OF CHUNKY VIOLENCE. YES. MMMmmmmm good.
Another great example of a game that doesn't utilize teh angst to invoke a variety of emotions in me. yay

RE4's scariness is definately a bit differant than previously released RE and RE0. Eternal Darkness had some of the best sound effects in any game, the music would drive you nuts, but was more of an erie kind of scary, where as RE and RE0 would use more shock tactics. I prefer this new direction they have went, where theres more to surviving than conserving amo. I use to hate not having enough amo, I dont mind conserving in the sence that I make sure I aim correctly, but to simply run out and have to run away all the time doesnt make me want to continue through the game. RE4 gives you enough amo, its up to you not to waste it by taking poor shots.
Post by: heinous_anus on February 07, 2005, 06:32:29 PM
I know I'm in the minority, so I have no right to "complain," but I really loved in, well, especially 2 and Code Veronica where part of the "survival" in "survival horror" included strategically using your ammo. In other words, using handgun ammo whenever possible to avoid using "better" weapons, not killing some enemies you can just run past, etc. The lack of ammo in these other games, combined with the very non-linear gameplay, made the entire weapons system a big part of the spook factor. I remember, and I recall this for friends, as well, getting extraordinarily scared when I was almost out of shotgun shells, or the tremendous relief one felt when finding those golden magnum bullets later in the game.
I'm not saying that "fixing" these things is necessarily a bad thing for the game, I just find it curious that I've been selling off ammo the whole game to avoid having to discard it.
By the way, in this "Professional" mode that I keep hearing about, do you get less ammunition throughout the game, or do enemies take more damage before they die? This would be a very compelling reason, on top of the other goodies I've been hearing about, to replay the game.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on February 22, 2005, 06:17:51 PM
Paladin:
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN THE GAME THEN THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU
I'M WARNING YOU
Anyways, I did play/finish Assignment Hot Chick right after beating it. I can give you transcript of the intro, but i can't exactly reload the end, so i'll just try to summarize:
Opening --
Wesker: Have you retrieved the sample?
Ada: Not yet.
Wesker: Some kind of trouble...?
Ada: Saddler... He knows...
Wesker: Ahh.. Your extraction chopper will pick you up at the rendevous point, as planned.
Ada: I'll be there.
End -- (quite incomplete)
Wesker: Punctual. I like that.
~~~
Wesker: Did you see Krauser?
Ada: He's dead.
~~~
[Wesker says something about a "new" Umbrella coming back in a big way, like things will be different the next time around, and they'll be unstoppable. He then does his mad scientist laugh]
Interestingly enough, my MOST HEARTPOUNDING MOMENT in RE4 was in Ass. Ada, when I was locked in the lab room then Mr. I VERY STRONG TO HOLD THIS BIG GATLING GUN comes in. I ran under the stairs and timed my grenade tosses so the shield monkeys and eventually Mr. T got hit as they reached the bottom steps. When Mr. T was stunned, I ran past him upstairs so he didn't get a clear shot of me. Then I sniped him as his head was peeked above the edge of the top steps. YIKES, that was intense.
Post by: PaLaDiN on February 22, 2005, 07:14:16 PM
Did you know he can jump very high? I mean, up ladders? Found that out the hard way and died soon after.
My scariest moment in the game has little to do with the game. I was playing with the lights off at 4 am, roomates sleeping... creepy music weirding me out... and then my roomate suddenly started screaming in his sleep, out of the blue. Not fun.
And after that I calmed my shot nerves, sat back down and inched forward, heart pounding, only to be greeted with an explosion and screaming extra crispy oven man.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on February 22, 2005, 07:29:16 PM
I've never seen Gatling Guy jump... but when I tried out the Mercenaries Waterworld stage, I found out that Virtually Indestructo Chainsaw Man could jump up, oh, 3 stories high? "WHOA, F- this," so my Leon went ahead and jumped down the 3 stories, just AWAY from that dude.

Congrates on your Gamecube purchase. You wont be disappointed especially with RE4. I just finished Re4 and was extremely impressed. The game went far beyond my expectations, which were quite high considering the hype and the length of development. This is the only game that competes with Metriod Prime. Both are fantastic and both suffer only one flaw, ending. I wish the endings on both games had a bit more substance. Notwithstanding that, both are the best games i have ever played.
Enjoy.
PS. May i recommend Metroid Prime 2? Excellent game to say the least.

The final boss was dull and dissapointing, but I really didnt mind that fact, the whole scape scene at the end was awesome! the only thing I missed, and specially my little bro, was that you cannot play the Ada mission with her original sexy outfit
to get all the weapons you had when finishing the game you need to load the last save of the game, the game after you finished has all the new things unlocked but in order to have all your weapons from the start you must load the game from the save file, not start a new one.
In conclusion, it sucks that the GC had such a lackluster third party support, because as this games showed, the GC is very capable of putting amazing games, my only explanation is that devs are idiots and never gave the little good GC any chance. I can only imagine games like Devil May Cry with the kind of graphics that they deserve as shown in RE4! or a great Castlevania title! all those games wouldve been totally mind blowing in the GC.

I don't know about you, but BOSSES for the most part are "do something, do something, shoot, repeat." With Saddler, you could've used mine darts on the torso, run around and use the barrels, or use the two cranes to shake him up. And the eyes in his legs contributed to his overall damage, so you didn't have to damage the main eye every single time to make progress. With the underground scorpion guy you mentioned, I shot him every couple seconds with well-placed magnum shots -- and he NEVER got the chance to fight back -- wow thanks for that exciting I came back from the depths i'm not dead yet haha comeback, but you didn't last more than 10 seconds and you barely moved one step forward, sorry. Saddler never dropped to his knees and went "OW magnum, I give up" like that.

Well, since this is here...
I've never played a Resident Evil game, or even a survival horror game. Would this be a good one to start with, or should I play the original first, or some other game?
That depends. If you have any interest in the Resident Evil mythos (such as it is) and can tolerate some abysmally outdated gameplay mechanics, start with the Resident Evil remake on GameCube/Wii. If you just want a fun 3rd person shooting experience with a little bit of tension and a lot of dead bodies, start with Resident Evil 4. If you have any intention on playing Resident Evil 5, play both.
Post by: Mop it up on June 11, 2010, 12:37:05 AM
The third one is also no. I actually forgot that I have played Resident Evil 5, once, in co-op with my brother. It didn't impress me.
So I guess it is the second one. The game is pretty cheap now, too.

Just buy RE4 Wii Edition (or the original RE4 if you really want to play withe GCN controller). The others aren't worth playing.
I wouldn't say that. The Resident Evil remake is very enjoyable, as is Resident Evil 2. Resident Evil 3 just wasn't all that fun to me (mostly because it's a game that encourages you to blow away everthing in front of you considering all the backtracking, yet doesn't give you enough ammo to actually do it), and Resident Evil 0 is just...superfluous, with little new or interesting. Resident Evil 4 is excellent, and RE 5 is fun IF you're willing to tolerate some really bad partner AI (or play online) and a really overblown, nonsensical story.
Actually, I just recently picked up RE 5 again with the Gold Edition. I think a year after it released, I can replay it now enjoying it for what it is and not what it isn't (a revolutionary entry in the series like RE 4). Plus, I really want to play Lost in Nightmares, a chapter that should have been in the original game in the first place.

RE4 is great. I think it's the best RE game, honestly. RE5's story isn't overblown--it connects well to previous plot points in the series and provides a good conclusion to the overarchng mythos. I think RE5 is a more refined version of RE4, but you're right about the partner AI. On the other hand, if you and a friend can hook up and play co-op, either next to each-other or online, RE5 provides a really wonderful co-op experience.

I will start with the Novistadors.
The Novistadors were the flying creatures that Leon faced in the underground of the castles. One strain of these creatures could bended light to turn invisible while a secind strain could fly.
When facing off against these creature Leon has the opprotunity to kick one down onto the ground it is easy to onserve that this creature has a ribcage which makes you wonder of it has lungs. If it does have lungs, this would mean that it is part human. Oviously the Los Illuminados must have spliced human and fly DNA into each other to create this being. However, it is hard to determine whether the Novistador is a host to the Plaga, or is comprosided of Plaga DNA in its molecular structure?
On Resident Evil wiki it is stated that the Novistadors were once human.

I imagine they're Plagas-infested versions of Chimaeras from REmake. A lot of the RE4 creatures don't have good explainations, among them the Novistadors and Salaazar's buddies.
Actually most of the RE 4 baddies are fairly original. I actually played RE 4 for the PS2 about ten times in row around the time I graduated from high school in 2007. I was so fascinated by the game that I actually wrote several pages of notes on the origins of the RE 4 baddies and their biology. However, my flash drive that I had the data on was erased and I am starting from scratch.
In fact I bought the wii edition of this game and it is perhaps the most superior version of the game available.

There is no "perhaps". It is the superior version of the game, not only due to the Wii pointer controls but also because it has all the content that's previously been made for the game. The only thing really bad about it are the graphics, which take a lot of time to adjust to (presumably because the visuals were stretched to create a widescreen image).
As for the flying bugs, Halbred's theory is about as plausible as any because I do think they were meant to pay homage to the Chimeras. Besides, we'll see in RE5 quite a few past monsters have been repurposed for current use by this point in the RE timeline (the leeches, anyone?). I wouldn't think too hard about the (*Dr. Insano voice*) "SCIENCE!" of the RE universe, though. It's clearly made up as they went along.

I just thought it would be kind of cool to discuss how the creatures of RE 4 were made in the game's universe.

@ShyGuy: Yes, Krauser's second form is very difficult, although once you learn how to bait him, he gets easier. The fact that you're under a time limit blows, though.

I really like the regenerators and I will be writing about their biology soon.
I'll never understand why the regenerators never returned for RE5, considering they worked so well as one of the few "old school Resident Evil"-like monsters in RE4. Instead we got the Lickers, who were suddenly built like tanks and obnoxious.

The betas did tend to take a lot of ammo when not using the infinite rocket launcher. And they swarmed in packs rather than as individuals like they used to do.I really like the regenerators and I will be writing about their biology soon.

There's not much point in Resident Evil games: with everything being subject to complete retcon at any time, any explanation they give is want to be completely ignored so that enemy X can also appear in a different situation where it has no business being. See, e.g., Tyrants, Crimson Heads, Zombies.

If I wanted to play the older games, I'd probably get the Chronicles games instead, they look more fun. Plus my sister likes shooters, it's something we could play together.

I mostly just want to try a game in the series because it is long-running, it doesn't really look like something I'd like. Though Resident Evil 4 is more about shooting action, so it has a better chance. The only one I own is Resident Evil 2 on Nintendo 64, but if I remember rightly, it is a continuation of the first game, so it wouldn't be a good one to start with.

Actually, Resident Evil 2 on the N64 was my first Resident Evil game, and I enjoyed it just fine. The game references the first at the very beginning, but otherwise it's very much its own story.

Heh, I actually thought that the Oroboros Virus in RE5 was pretty funny. It's like the writers forced RE0 to become a real part of the continuity. Instead of dealing with the T-Virus, G-Virus, or Code Veronica Virus, they go all the way back to the Progenitor Virus.

Oh yeah, that fight where I only use THE KNIFE to beat him in 20sec.

RE4's pretty much a standalone title: the intro tells you that the bad guys are now gone, the hero in this game was in RE2, and that's 95% of how this game relates to the original. There is a little more tie-in involved, but it came out of left field even for people who obsessively track the series' plotline, so being new to the series doesn't hurt in any way.
If you're going for one of the Chronicles games, be warned that 1) they're both pretty slow-paced for a light-gun game, and 2) Darkside Chronicles is superior in most ways, save for being slightly more chatty than the original. They're both fun to play through, though, and since you don't follow the series you won't notice or care about the liberties they take with the other games' plots.

No, no it's not. Umbrella is the better game.
You seem to be one of the few who think so. I prefer Darkside Chronicles myself, just because the experience in the stages is so much more immersive than Umbrella's (which often feels like you're riding a shoot 'em up theme park ride.
Incidentally, I'm replaying RE5 right now, and Sheva's dumbass AI aside (which, after already having done a full playthrough a year ago, I already know how to deal with the worst of) I'm probably enjoying the game a lot more now than I did my first playthrough (though the lengths you have to go to to prevent Sheva from interfering in trophy attempts is aggravating). I'd also forgotten just how hard that game can be, how easy it can be to run out of ammo in your first playthrough (especially since Sheva will only use a secondary weapon if her pistol runs out of ammo and she can't find any more). Unfortunately, I'm entering Chapter 3-1 now, the chapter where Japan's will-full ignorance of other cultures becomes glaringly obvious, as well as probably the chapter I enjoyed the least.
Oh yeah...RE4. Well, I'm probably going to pick the Wii version of the game up again sometime in the near future since it's pretty cheap now. About a year ago, I had to start getting rid of a lot of games I didn't wish to lose to obtain new ones, as I was unemployed for a lengthy period of time. RE4 Wii's turn is coming up soon.

Same here, however I did get to play the demo of RE1 so I was a little familiar with it. I think 2 is the better game (between 1 & 2, never played 3 and while I only ever played the REmake of 1, i still found 2 more memorable/enjoyable) so starting with that is fine, but starting with 4 is just as good. The only warning I have is that its a different beast than its predecessors.
It's not a bad thing, but if you want to play a game in the series because its a long standing one, I wouldn't really recommend choosing the most different of the bunch. Then again it really doesn't matter since you suggested trying the Chronicles games so this whole post was a waste of time :P
