To RE4 cube owners,

I was wondering, with Resident Wiivil coming, do you regret plucking down the cash for the Cube version? Would you buy the Wii Edition knowing it's a Wii port of the game you once owned? If you are, are you expecting the controls to enhance or detract?

Sorta actually, because I STILL can't stand the "tank" controls. I want to spend another 30 bucks for the wiimake because the controls MIGHT let me get past the first 20 minutes to learn what's sog reat about the game but... geez. I GOTTA play this game, but i can't STAND the controls!!! ARGH!

No, it's exactly the same.

I wont support a crappy port and will get REUC instead.

Nope, I don't regret playing through RE4 for GameCube 3+ times and loving it every second I played it. Will I buy it again? Hmm... it was pretty good but I don't need to pay $30 to play it again. I can do it for free.

RE4 was possibly the best game last gen so no.

btw, tank controls? RE4 controls nothing like the tank controls of the previous REs.

Kairon · « **Reply #5 on:** June 17, 2007, 06:02:12 PM »

Aiming still feels tanky then. But somehow, I just can't get into this game that has been proclaimed the best game of last gen. I... I just can't! /cry I've been trying!!!

Uh... The movement controls for RE4 are 100% identical to the movement controls in the previous RE games. The only real difference in controls is the aiming, and non-static camera angles.

Kairon · « **Reply #7 on:** June 17, 2007, 06:07:31 PM »

The movement... yeah, the aiming is new, but the darn movement is still... AGH! This game... *sigh* I'm so confused.

I regret getting the 'Cube version. Aiming with the remote is appealing, but I'm not sure I really want to buy a game I already bought and didn't like merely on the off-chance that being able to aim might make the game enjoyable.

No, cuz I'm badass at it.

RE4 Wii will simply evolve my badassness.

Adrock · « **Reply #10 on:** June 17, 2007, 09:38:31 PM »

I don't. RE4 was the last game to "wow" me. I wouldn't want to wait 2 and a half years to play the game just for the Wii version. And I guess it didn't hurt that I got it for $37 the day it came out.

I'm getting the Wii version for all the PS2 extras and because I think motion controls will alter the experience enough to warrant a purchase. This is probably the first RE port that's totally worth every penny. At $30 (plus my 10% discount), the only downside is that classic lines like Leon calling Salazar "bro" and "You're small time," aren't as awesome on any subsequent play through.

If you guys didn't read my impressions, you should be aware that the controls are absolutely pwn and it's a tremendous upgrade.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 17, 2007, 11:59:01 PM »

Maybe it's just the camera angles, but in the old RE games if I wanted to go towards the door on my left, I would be facing left and push up. In RE4, if I want to go to the door to my left as soon as I'm facing left the camera rotates so the direction I need to head is up. This makes a big difference in the feel of the controls.

$30 is a bargain to play what many people are calling the "definitive" version of Resident Evil 4 - one of the greatest games ever made.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #14 on:** June 18, 2007, 03:02:34 AM »

Didn't they add some additional content to it other than just new controls? If they didn't they definitely should have since their most likely buyers would already have owned the Gamecube (or PS2) versions. They should probably make a set of all the RE games to date with the upgraded Wii controls and offer it for, I don't know, $69.99 or something... I'd consider getting that.

Pale · « **Reply #15 on:** June 18, 2007, 03:17:59 AM »

I'm probably going to end up buying this even though I own the cube version and honestly wasn't a fan of it...

/sigh

Why buy it again if you didn't like it originally? Are you hoping the Wii control scheme will change your opinion of the game?

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #17 on:** June 18, 2007, 03:49:14 AM »

Im getting the Wii-make as well since I trust S-U-P-E-R's impressions and I never got to try the PS2's extras, I still love the cube game(im going to keep it and probably will sell the DS remake of RE1) .

Pretty much, yeah. I won't be buying it on launch or anything though.. just on my list of possibilities if I ever run out of stuff to play.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2007, 04:18:13 AM »

I don't generally like scary games, but all the praise for RE4 had me curious, so I finally bought it for GC when I saw it online at a decent discount. I had 30 days to return it if I changed my mind. The rumors about the Wii edition hit on day 31. Yes, I regret that purchase.

I still haven't decided what to do. I still haven't opened it. I'm probably going to give it to GameStop for whatever pittance I can get in return just to get it out of my sight.

I'll be trading in my GameCube version (but I'll keep the limited edition GameStop tin, history of RE book and RE4 lithograph). I'll also give up the 3 backwards-compatible XBox games I held onto when I bought my 360. I don't play them, so I might as well get the $2 GameStop will offer me for them. LOL

I can respect that.

With videogames a good game will almost always eventually get re-released in some way. Now obviously if it's only a year later or less that can be frustrating but if it's a few years I don't think there is any need to regret getting an older version. Super Mario Bros 3 came out in 1990. Super Mario All-Stars came out in 1993. Well that's only a few years but was getting SMB3 in 1990 a mistake? Not really. You got to play the game a few years earlier. Odds are that's often worth it.

Plus if you get too worried about this sort of stuff gaming is going to be a frustrating hobby. Just never buy a Metal Gear Solid or Pokemon game in the first release because those will have a better version within the next year every time.

Well, I borrowed SB's copy of the game, which he then sold back to Gamestop.

So yeah...

I REGRET NOTHING!

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #23 on:** June 18, 2007, 06:15:13 AM »

Maybe people should only buy games that are re-made or re-released as player's choice? That's really not such a bad idea, actually, because if you have a very limited budget and you do that you are limiting yourself to pretty much the best of the best. Granted, some crap sells very well despite the fact it is crap, but overall you'd be filtering out the worst stuff. I for one have a tendency of buying too many games and regretting it due to the game being different than I expected, plus games are expensive so being selective isn't such a bad idea if you accept that the best ones will come back one day in a better and cheaper form.

The downside to it is you will likewise miss out on a lot of great stuff which is never re-made or re-released, like Super Mario RPG for example. Plus you have to wait a few years. But hey, at least you won't get an unpleasant surprise from the re-release fairy sometime in the future.

I played the GC version on a projection screen in front of a bunch of friends. I still remember when I backed away from one of the gimps as he BARELY missed me and everyone in the room screamed.

I actually bought it in California and played it with some friends out there. I still remember when I was shooting one of the monks carrying a wooden shield in the head as he was coming up the stairs and my friend said, "Ahh, the shield! It does NOTHING!" (McBain).

Yeah, this is definitely a game capable of sustaining an audience.
