The GCN version is superior for one reason and one reason only (=D) is that it was the system that Resident Evil 4 was made for. Capcom can port it where ever they want, but they can never change the fact that it was designed from the ground up for the Nintendo Gamecube.

A few extras, costumes and stuff don't make the game better, it only gives people and excuse to live in their own little world and believe they are getting the better deal, when in fact they are months behind in their rent. lol

IGN Insider side by side GCN vs PS2 (summarized) <-- for those of us w/o insider

Final Verdict

Quote

Summing Up: If you desire greater level of options, and a more versatile experience with successive playthroughs; go with the PS2 version for all it's bonus features.

If you prefer greater level of graphical detail, more dynamic sound, and a more intense and immersive atmosphere; pick up the original GameCube version.

and there you have it.

Bah, they had to fix the Google trick. First 'article' on IGN I've wanted to read in over a year. Interesting that they picked on the vase sound. That's the one sample that really sticks out on the GameCube also. So in the end it turned out as we all expected: they've both worth playing and/or owning.

I'm not (normally) a graphics whore....but I think I can make an exception with RE. The whole point of the game is it's immersiveness....while playing, I don't feel like I'm playing the game so much as living it. So, while I haven't played the ps2 version yet, I imagine that the shoddy graphics, long load times, and muffled sounds will completley destroy the experience... and leave something that is fun but, ultimatley, never lets you forget that you are playing a videogame, which is what happens when playing the GC version. And no amouint of extra areas/cutscenes/costumes could possibly make up for that.

Personally, I'd go for the PS2 version, it looks fine to me and I like the extra content. Having said that, I'm not a huge fan of the game or of horror in general so my motivation is different.

How long until videos are available to download of the extra levels, cut scenes, etc? Pro666?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #106 on:** November 02, 2005, 04:22:28 PM »

You really expect me to touch that thing? =D

vudu · « **Reply #107 on:** November 05, 2005, 04:54:52 PM »

All of the cut scenes from Ada's Separate Ways bonus missions are available to download over at rehorror.com. Scroll down to the news posted on November 4. I haven't watched it yet (only about 13% downloaded--very slooooooooooow download).

You can also download a couple head-to-head video comparisons of the village and the castle. They're very nicely done. I'm actually really surprised by how well of a job Capcom did on the PS2 port. You can definitely tell a noticeable difference when they're side by side, but if you cover up the GC half of the screen you really wouldn't think it looks bad at all.

So I've played the PS2 version and the one thing that annoyed me the most were the loading times between areas: gosh!! so freaking slow!!
They even added a "now loading" at the bottom of the screen!
There's some aliasing too, not that minor to me though: I could tell the cut scenes were FMV because they looked terribly "pixellised" (is that even a word? lol).
Controls are just okay but maybe it's because I'm used to the GC controller better.
The port is very decent, I thought it was gonna be much worse than that.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of Pale, BUMP.

RE4 is getting the port treatment again, this time on mobile phones.

I haven't been able to find any screen shots yet, but according to Kataku:

The demo on hand for Resident Evil 4 Mobile Edition was super brief, but the trailer running on the perimeter of the booth indicated that the game was very much in-depth. Boss fights, Ashley escorting, loads of shooting poverty stricken villagers in the face—it's all here. A bit rough around the edges and features extremely purple "zombies" but not a bad effort.

RE4 on cell phones? o_O
Capcom has officially gone crazy.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #111 on:** September 23, 2007, 06:34:42 AM »

This proves that the "Wii can't handle RE5 so Capcom won't port it" people ARE FULL OF IT

Perhaps the cellphone providers won't permit overly violent games?

Athrun Zala · « **Reply #117 on:** September 25, 2007, 04:28:36 PM »

should be noted that Capcom also announced a new Megaman Legends, a DMC port, and a Breath of Fire IV port... all cellphone games ;_;

EasyCure · « **Reply #118 on:** September 25, 2007, 07:13:32 PM »

A NEW Megaman Legends???

KDR_11k · « **Reply #119 on:** September 25, 2007, 08:56:06 PM »

WTF? I mean, yes, I just saw an interview where Inafune said he really wants to make MML3 but he also said the company is refusing to finance it because MML1 and 2 flopped. That MML is probably just a port.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #120 on:** September 25, 2007, 10:19:11 PM »

"the company is refusing to finance it"

is this INTELLIGENCE I detect?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #121 on:** September 26, 2007, 03:23:02 AM »

Well, he said he's saving money to pay for it himself.

that does kinda explain why it's a cellphone game...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #123 on:** September 27, 2007, 12:00:13 AM »

You'd think he'd mention the game if it was already in development, the interview was only a few days ago.

darknight06 · « **Reply #124 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:15:47 AM »

Alright, now does anybody need anymore proof that if a company wants X game to go to whatever system, they'll find a way to do it even if it sounds impossible? There's a lot of people who say that the game industry is a joke and I can see exactly why.
