More so-so quality video that runs on junk software, that requires a paid prescription?

I wish Nintendo Power just offered DVDs like Famitsu Wave DVD.

1. Aiming is kinda loose and strange the first couple minutes but after that aiming gets easy.

2. I'm not sure about the new video but try www.gametrailers.com. they have tons of videos.

Low-res version of IGN's video is available for non-insiders also (in 3 parts):

IGN RE4 Videos page

It does show some new places indeed. It's actually shows just a more skilled player, as opposed to all the E3 movies available until now (which were definitely lame, player-skill-wise)

And yes it's fun to watch.

i got a good vid of re4 and it looks amazing but the thing that gets me is the zombies? they have changed into zoms that run, jump, use weapons and communicate with each other kinda similar to the remake of dawn of the dead. i hope capcom know what there doing cuz i relly like the old zoms that slumber around not stopping till they get there dinner of human flesh (not tacky b-movie "brains")

well capcom dun a lotta great fantastic games and playing one of there latest right now - steel battalion and its awsome to say the least so capcom i'm counting on u

They're not zombies. Capcom knows what they're doing.
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.

Berny · « **Reply #580 on:** June 06, 2004, 04:50:11 PM »

Yeah, I'm liking the whole NOT slow, rotting, stupid zombie thing. It will definitely be more challenging and scarier. I mean zombies capable of intelligent thought other than "BRAAAAIIINNNSSSS!!!!" Yeah, it's gonna be cool. Is anyone else reminded a little bit of Snake Eater when they see screens and videos of this game? Could just be me, but I keep associating the two.

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")

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #582 on:** June 07, 2004, 02:54:02 PM »

Zombies die when the connection to the brain is broken(this is the spinal column)...So if they are not killed by a survivor, they would eventually "rot to death"...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #583 on:** June 07, 2004, 04:21:43 PM »

Resident Evil isn't about zombies, it's about being trapped in a crazy place under the threat of a biological disaster -- hence the original Japanse title: BIOHAZARD.

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.

"Or will the body's cells simply decay to the point that the virus can no longer animate the body?"

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...

akdaman1 · « **Reply #585 on:** June 07, 2004, 11:00:48 PM »

unless the zombies become walking skeletons.

Anyway any new info about the storyline since E3?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #586 on:** June 07, 2004, 11:45:11 PM »

Hmmm,....

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.

~~~~~~

OMG!! SPENCER'S A NAZI HE'S BEEN DOING THE ZOMBIE THING SINCE THE WAR it's almost LIKE INDIANA JONES BUT WITH INDIANA LEON!.

vixtro · « **Reply #587 on:** June 08, 2004, 12:56:04 AM »

i dont think biohazard is as good a title as resident evil

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

Berny · « **Reply #588 on:** June 08, 2004, 07:12:30 AM »

You can watch the original Night of the Living Dead on archive.org. Anyways, isn't that exactly what the resident evil series IS? A biologicial experiment gone HORRIBLY wrong? I like the word biohazard. Frankly I wish they'd kept it for the US, but RE is a good replacement.

vixtro · « **Reply #589 on:** June 08, 2004, 11:58:19 AM »

i never said resident evil wasnt a biohazard, i was just saying resident evil is better cuz its more original and the place has evil in it, well the zombies arnt really evil cuz there just acting on instinct proly the same with all the other creatures

DarkZero · « **Reply #590 on:** June 08, 2004, 11:19:40 PM »

This game looks better every day. although some of the new screenies look a bit dodgy. One looks like 2 pics, fused together, i'll find it and post it later

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #591 on:** June 09, 2004, 07:10:27 PM »

IGNCuccumber's Matt Cassamsassamamasisiisssiiignaasssmassinnassinafatandhairy latest mailbag confirms RE4's aiming system does have the option for "inverted" controls.

REJOICE.

Bloodworth · « **Reply #592 on:** June 09, 2004, 11:49:11 PM »

Sorry I fouled that up in my e3 impressions. They aren't inverted by default, and I didn't discover the option until later. I thought someone else had covered it though.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #593 on:** June 10, 2004, 01:22:52 AM »

It's all good.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #594 on:** June 13, 2004, 09:36:11 PM »

I just saw the giant Japanese Salamander on Animal Planet today. It was 5 feet long, weighed over 50 lb, had a 1 ft wide mouth, and scared little school children! IT WAS AWESOME.

A giant Japanese Salamander is the aquatic monster many theorists believe Leon was fighting in the "lake" footage of Resident Evil 4. How it ended up in Europe, I don't know.

theorists

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.

)

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #596 on:** June 14, 2004, 08:08:59 PM »

Thye eats TEH childrenZ?! No wayz?!

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.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #598 on:** June 15, 2004, 12:42:03 PM »

HAHA, Orlando Bloom guy...

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).

Berny · « **Reply #599 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?
