"I like how you assume that I am some sort of rebel for stating my opinion, so I'm a rebel for not having the same opinion as you? I was simply replying to the post that said that this game was one of the top 5 five games of all time, which is by far one of the most absurd claims I have ever read. And no, I no longer believe that it is a must-buy maybe a must-rent for the fun that there is in the beginning. So sorry for adding my opinion to this thread, I'll leave you cool guys to your highly over-rated games that everyone has to think are great!"

I wasn't even serious.

Have a good day, sir. Try not to have a heart attack.

That's what Pro666 SHOULD have said.

That wouldn't really work, cuz this thread's already WINNING! Newbie thread is just a formidable challenger.

IGN put up RE4 p-revamp. Pretty cool to look at, but watching it, I'm confident Capcom did the right thing.

The old version definitely looked scarier though...Hopefully the next game will involve more of these scare elements mixed with the excellent aiming perspective from RE4...

I apologize. I was kinda going for this eternal back-and-forth Pong-like game thing.

I think what made the old RE scary was that the character was restricted to small enviroments with limited mobility. Opening up the enviroments and giving the perspective behind the shoulder with the aiming system felt like you had total control over the character. The new RE uses the thrill of having multiple targets that come from different sides in a larger landscape. The new way of playing really does breath new life into the franchise.

Also, I saw in Gamepro (which I am still getting for free....) that they gave RE4 a "4.5" in the graphics section (and sound too...). I find this odd, since just about the rest of the world thinks that this is the best looking console game to date. Hmm.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1182 on:** January 28, 2005, 11:57:26 AM »

Peppy seems to be wondering about that too...

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.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1183 on:** January 28, 2005, 12:02:28 PM »

All fanboy-ism aside, I think MP2 is much sleeker than either...

Finally received this game in the mail yesterday, so I've been playing it non-stop ever since and I've just entered the cabin where you fight Mendez in professional mode. It's good to see a lot of improvments over the previous Resident Evil games. The voice-acting is a hell of a lot better as well as them minor details... like the characters actually holding weapons properly. The only few downsides that I thought could of made the game much more compelling if they were fixed were things like the difficulty settings and the diaries/notes. Some areas were incredibly easy and also the diaries that Leon picks up in RE4 don't seem to have the same zing to them that the previous RE's had. None of them really explain any in-depth history about the plagas and I would of wanted to hear a lot more information about the cult's history and the numerous creatures like El Gigante.

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.

In case anyone was wondering Resident Evil 4 sold 116 000 on its first day of retail in Japan. I actually expected it to do a little better, it placed 3rd on the daily chart

A little news tidbit regarding Biohazard 4

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1187 on:** January 28, 2005, 07:00:33 PM »

THE HILARITY!!!

This is almost like Kano driving his hand deep into your chest, and yanking it back out only to discover HE'S NOT HOLDING ANYTHING!

Gamefreak · « **Reply #1188 on:** January 29, 2005, 10:38:49 AM »

I can understand the easy difficulty.. Americans are used to FPS's so RE4 feels a lot more "normal" to us.. Like how back in the day japanese RPG's would be watered down for us (the ones that made it)...

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...

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1189 on:** January 29, 2005, 11:21:18 AM »

Translation:

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

Gamefreak · « **Reply #1190 on:** January 29, 2005, 04:31:19 PM »

The thing is.. Japan doesn't usually censor anything.. Oh well, doesn't matter to us anyway

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)...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1191 on:** January 29, 2005, 04:36:39 PM »

Upper-body nudity in Europe isn't a big deal, so NOE's ads aren't that surprising...And Japanese gamers hate hard games, that's why the added easy difficulty was added (just as it has been done to Viewtiful Joe and others)...

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #1192 on:** January 29, 2005, 08:08:56 PM »

how terrible, i bet capcom will see that choice as a hit to their sales and PS2 version will include headshots.

It's Mortal Kombat SNES, and Genesis all over again.

Famicom · « **Reply #1193 on:** January 30, 2005, 04:19:43 AM »

Japanese gamers hate hard games? Is there some proof of this?

Balrog · « **Reply #1194 on:** January 30, 2005, 06:50:14 AM »

Tell me something:

Can you chose from easy-normal-hard or you can't modify the difficulty?
Is this game gore, filled with awesome dead animations and such like Turok 2 or RE2?

Zero_Plague · « **Reply #1195 on:** January 30, 2005, 10:10:01 AM »

The only difficulty available is 'Normal', but after beating the game you will unlock 'Professional' difficulty which is a hell of a lot harder. As for the death animations and gore, you should be pleased. There is a ton of blood and gore in the game, and as for death animations... there are quite a number of them.

Being spat on with acid will melt Leon's flesh off and show his skull, where as characters with bladed weapons can impale and decapitate etc...

Balrog · « **Reply #1196 on:** January 30, 2005, 11:55:21 AM »

That's what I'm talking about. I'm gonna buy it as soon it reaches venezuelan shores.

mjbd · « **Reply #1197 on:** January 31, 2005, 05:26:09 PM »

I couldnt wait any longer, I picked up RE4 yesterday. This game is nuts. I died about five times in the village. This game is definately a survival horror game. The controls work so much better for this perspective, and I love being able to aim at specific body parts. In the previous RE's; head shots were pure luck. I still think RE and RE0 were exceptional games, but RE4 takes it to the next level. The visuals are the best I have seen on gamecube. What really trips me out, is there will be a crap load of bad guys on screen, and the game rarely stutters. The framerate is very steady. Shows off what gamecube can really do.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #1198 on:** February 01, 2005, 12:13:26 PM »

I hope Nintendo manages to secure another RE for Revolution, I wonder what these incredibly talented guys around Mikami (right?) manage to do.

mjbd · « **Reply #1199 on:** February 01, 2005, 04:55:51 PM »

I like the fact that this game doesnt force you to conserve amo so much. It seems like you in much better control, and I couldnt be happier. Precision aiming is great, in old RE games it was mostly luck if you blew a zombies head off, not so in RE4.
