Games Are Fun has a bunch of screenshots from the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4. Check them out here.

They look noticeably worse than the GC version. No word on frame rates.

Well if the framerate is okay Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 looks playable I guess. But man that looks pretty bad in comparison to the Cube version. Hell there are PS2 exclusive games that look better. The framerate better be good because the graphics don't look like they're really taxing the system.

Maybe now that they've shown off the PS2 version it will spark sales of the Cube version. Some people might have been waiting to see the PS2 version to decide which one to get and now that they can compare they might go with the Cube.

whoo boy... well at least I got some new pieces of Ada artwork, thanks kingvudu =D

and seriously, the new art with Leon/Ada showing off their weapons looks silly and cocky in comparison to the art that was shown for the GCN release.

Resident Evil 4 on PS2 looks absolutely terrible, just as I expected.

I actually saw video of it on G4 and while it doesn't look nearly as good as the GC version, it really didn't look all that bad in motion, especially for what I expect out of a PS2 game. The textures look a little washed out and there are some slight graphical differences, but it didn't look bad for a PS2 game. It looked very playable.

Wow, the jaggies were so sharp in those pictures I thought
I was going to cut myself looking at them...

I'm glad I got the GC version....

Capcom has made some very bad choices lately. This is just another one. You can't fault their development teams, who have really made some excellent titles... the problem lies in the management.

Of course, if I had my way, Nintendo would have bought them out and turned them 2nd party a long time ago

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I'm sorry, but I'm just plain loving this. The game looks like pixelated ass. I couldn't be happier. I can't imagine what the framerate is. I hope it runs at 15fps....a stuttering 15fps.

Matt from IGN, now writing for IGN-PS2, says that the PS2 version of RE4 looks just as good as the GameCube version, right down to the advanced lighting and shadow effects, and runs at a steady 30fps. The GameCube version has a "slightly" higher polygon count.

vudu · « **Reply #60 on:** May 18, 2005, 09:06:34 AM »

Wait, is this a permanate thing, or just temporary? Did he lose/give up his position as editor of the GameCube section?

ruby_onix · « **Reply #61 on:** May 18, 2005, 12:40:24 PM »

Temporary, I'm sure.

Artimus · « **Reply #62 on:** May 18, 2005, 01:12:35 PM »

Matt writes for whatever he pleases, he's one of the higher up editors.

nemo_83 · « **Reply #63 on:** May 18, 2005, 01:54:22 PM »

from what I saw of RE4 it looks like granulated ass.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #64 on:** June 05, 2005, 05:17:54 AM »

Capcom's sales forecast on worldwide sales of RE4 on PS2 will be 2,000,000 million units. Ouch what a pipedream. Capcom also expects to sell Killer 7 350,000 worldwide on the GCN and PS2 respectively. I think Capcom is alittle drunk when they came up with that.

Mario · « **Reply #65 on:** August 26, 2005, 08:30:31 PM »

So uh, yeah. Let's have PS2 RE4 discussion here.

I was initially interested in it for the new Ashley costume, but that's been exposed as incredibly stupid (don't click that picture link if you don't want it spoiled).

The new "exclusive!!11" guns are also really retarded, and it sucks that they're available on the first play through, making the game even easier.

However, the new Assignment Ada looks/sounds like this game will be worth a rent, apparently it goes for over 5 hours, and you start off in the village, instead of the rather bland island place that made the GC one pretty lame, also she's wearing the hot red dress instead of the generic black costume. There's lots of new things that are brought to light, ie little things like why the villagers go when the church bell rings, more about Luis/Adas - Ada/Leon's relationships and other neat stuff. No doubt the graphics look worse, but it looks like they're good enough to retain the feel of the original, and I've heard the controls are crap (due to the Duel Shock sucking), but hopefully it's playable enough for me to go through it and see everything that's new.

Laugho, Ashley's costume SUCKS...But HEY, Ada's black infiltration get-up is awesome! >=|

Mario · « **Reply #67 on:** August 26, 2005, 08:50:47 PM »

I wonder if Ada has a new costume?

Myxtika1 Azn · « **Reply #68 on:** August 26, 2005, 09:39:09 PM »

I wanna be Ada's costume. Ashley's too...

KDR_11k · « **Reply #69 on:** August 26, 2005, 11:50:07 PM »

The text under the pic says Leon is wearing a mafia outfit. And that the knight's armor makes Ashley immune to bullets.

- Ada's mini game is entitled Seperate Ways (although "other story or other names are being used), but isn't connected to Assignment Ada which is still in the PS2 version. It isn't split up, being one mission but it's still up to five hours on first play. The game is unlocked when you complete the main game. The content covers Ada's story of the main game split into several sections, explains bits and pieces not explained in the main story, and allows you to gain access to areas that you do know and some you don't (including a change in the end battle). Ada also doesn't have access to the merchant in the game. Likewise Ada has the use of a grappling hook as shown in the original game which gives her access to areas and is apparently also a possible weapon.

Well...tbh I'm pretty mad about this. The rather insignificant new weapons/costumes didn't really bother me much but adding in a possible 5 new hours of play via a minigame, along with revealing more story really gets me steamed. For a game that was supposed to be exclusive to now adding in more story and gameplay is rediculous. I don't own a PS2 and if I do buy a PS3 it will be a long time b4 I can afford it after it's released. Long story short, I'm screwed as a GCN owner and I have a bitter taste in my mouth about this. Nintendo gets sh!t on again.

No, Sony doesn't permit late ports without significant enhancements.

Mario · « **Reply #73 on:** August 28, 2005, 02:13:24 AM »

Well the bottom line is it shouldn't have been ported at all.

Djunknown · « **Reply #74 on:** August 28, 2005, 07:08:20 PM »

Wow. Un-believe-able. What next? The oft rumored-chainsaw weapon will be useable? *Harkens to Doom days.* Good times, good times...

So they do a Code Veronica to Veronica X to the 5th power? No wonder 'Cube owners are pissed. Its a bummer, but I'll let the sales do the talking. Will Capcom/Sony make this the hit of holiday season '05? Or will it tank like Viewtiful Joe with its delightful extras?

On the bright side, Nobody has a clinch on the RE franchise, so everyone will get the Zombiefied love from the get-go next generation. No broken promises, no chopping of heads, (potentially) everyone will be happy with RE 5.
