I'm still not anticipating this as much as Minish Cap, but I'll still pick it up alongside it next weekend...

Wow that review is great. I havn't replied around here in some time. I just reserved mine today and my EB on City Walk at Universal Studios had the demo disk, but the guy there didn't know if he was supposed to give it away when I did the pre-order or when I pick up the game. But its alright I have Mario DS and Baten Kaitos to keep me busy for now.

Chongman · « **Reply #1028 on:** January 07, 2005, 06:57:09 PM »

he was supposed to give it to you then....it's a demo, c'mon. :-P

I got my demo today.....holy...crap...

it's even better than I thought it would be....

my only complaint was I thought the villagers would sidestep out of my aim more often...but oh well. The demo still blew me away.

With the walkthrough guides that have been popping up recently, members on all Resident Evil boards are going crazy. Their comments are either VERY negative about what has just been revealed or VERY positive. I'll post briefly what has been happening. And please know that the following are going to be HEAVY spoilers:

- The 'Garrador', which is a boss in the dungeons actually turns out to be a common enemy in the game.
- There will be 2 El Gigante's.
- Los Plagas is an ancient plague that the cult has discovered.
- This 'plague' brings empty suits of armour to life...
- Lord Saddler actually turns into a spider that Leon fights later on. ('Pennyface the killer clown' anyone?)
- During the Saddler boss fight, Ada throws a rocket launcher onto a platform (A nice way of showing that Capcom can't be bothered to create a new boss death for once)
- A pendant is said to be cursed by anyone who holds it.... okay...
- Wesker and Hunk will be playable once you unlock them in a mini game.
- Some monks can carry rocket launchers.
- The full name of Saddler is 'Oswald Saddler'. Some believe that this may have relation to 'Ozwell Spencer'.
- Jack Krauser is the boss with the knives I believe. Leon previously worked with him.
- Bitores Mendez is the village chief.
- Ramon Salazar is the pirate boy. Although, my memory is blank, so I can't remember no pirate being in it....
- Scan 1, scan 2, scan 3, Scan 4, scan 5.

Just to answer your possible question that might spark up later.... No, you were not drunk while reading all that.

Please, PLEASE use spoiler tags...It's common courtesy...

Mario · « **Reply #1031 on:** January 07, 2005, 07:57:02 PM »

Holy crap, WHY would anyone want to know all that before playing the game? WHY?

MaleficentOgre · « **Reply #1032 on:** January 07, 2005, 08:00:44 PM »

Oh EM GEE. so glad I stopped myself before I started reading that. there should be a don't post super major spoilers 4 days before game realse rules.

Well I did warn everyone that the following were going to be HEAVY spoilers. If you happen to read the dot points before the opening paragraph, then I have no sympathy. If it still troubles people, I'll include spoiler tags.

Zero_Plague · « **Reply #1035 on:** January 08, 2005, 01:00:27 PM »

Okay, here are some new scans. And to make sure that none of you miss it this time....

--THESE SCANS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS--

A whole load of information about the weapons is located here. Information about the Los Plagas is located here. Information about Armaduras is located here. And lastly, information about Colmillos is located here.

This post will attempt to predict Gamespot score for Resident Evil 4 using its past scores of other Resident Evil games among other data. I know there are other threads on this, but I don't think they are as scientific as this one. They are more opinioned based. In other words mine is special because I got stats.

Greg Kasavin will do the review for this game, and it will be posted Monday night. For some of his notable reviews he gave a 8.7 to MGS3:SE, a 9.5 to World of Warcraft, and a 9.7 to Metroid Prime.

Gamespot has reviewed 22 Resident Evil Games(Resident Evil(PS)10-25-1996 to Resident Evil Outbreak(PS2)3-31-2004). The average for these 22 reviews are 6.89.

The average of the best versions of the games in the main series is 8.72

Resident Evil 0(GCN)8.0
Resident Evil(PS)8.2
Resident Evil:Remake(GCN)8.9
Resident Evil 2(N64\PS)8.9
Resident Evil 3:Nemesis(PS)8.8
Resident Evil:Code Veronica(DC)9.5

The average score for other recently released high profile AAA games is 9.14

Half Life 2(PC)9.2
Doom 3(PC)8.5
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes(GC)9.1
Halo 2(XBOX)9.4
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas(PS2)9.6
Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater(PS2)8.7
World of Warcraft(PC) 9.5

Facts (Taken from gamerankings.com)
-No game in the last 2 years has gotten higher than a 9.6
-The average score from Gamespot is 67.9.
-Gamespot reviews are higher than average 43.9% of the time and lower than average 56.1% of the time.
-There is a 2.6 point difference between IGN-Cube and Gamespot Reviews. That would give Resident Evil 4 a 95.4(98-2.6) if it holds true.

Top Scores (Taken from gamerankings.com)
-The last game (1 of 4) to get a perfect score was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3(PS2). 10/28/2001
-The last game to get a 9.9 score was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2(DC). 11/6/2000
-The last game to get a 9.8 was Wario Land 3(GBC). 6/1/2000
-The last game to get a 9.7 was Metroid Prime(GC). 11/17/2002
-The last game to get a 9.6 was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas(PS2). 10/26/2004
-The last game to get a 9.5 was World of Warcraft(PC). 11/23/2004

Conclusion:
I think the most important part is the score they gave Code Veronica which was a 9.5. Obviously RE4 is the better game. I think that 9.5 was a slight overrate. My prediction of Gamespot RE4 Score is a 9.5. There are three reasons I won't go any higher.

1. It has a slightly harsh reviewer.
2. Gamespot has been stingy with very high scores over that last two years.
3. Gamespot score is usually lower than Cube-IGN score.

Score 9.5 Gamespot Editors Choice
Gameplay 9
Graphics 10
Sound 9
Value 9
Tilt 10

.....

It's impossible to predict someone's enjoyment of a game using those formulas. 7.9 sorry.

I predict 9.3

RABicle · « **Reply #1038 on:** January 08, 2005, 07:22:36 PM »

Is Gamespot like the dickheadgamer's bible or something? Who gives a rats arse what they score it? Everyone knows that if scores matter to you, gamerankings.com is the only thing that counts. And besides in the real world do reviews whcih narrow down to nearest 0.1 are bullshit. When you ask your friend if a game is good does he/she reply with "Oh yeah I'ld give it 8.6". What a crock of shite. Is a 6.7 game really better than 6.6 game? Does the same apply to 9.8 and 9.9 games?
All in all it's bullshit.
Games should be scored with a fist system. Excellent games get the double fist, good ones get the full fist. Average games get no fist and everything else is weak.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1039 on:** January 08, 2005, 07:28:16 PM »

No, everything else gets punched by a fist or two.

Which just makes a five star system.

A new review at eToyChest gives Resident Evil 4 96%.

A few more scans (may contain spoilers inside):

Ashley Graham - The review gives you a slight idea of why the Los Illuminados kidnapped her.

Luis Sera

Jack Krauser

Profile for Ada Wong

Ramon Salazar - What.... the.... Hell....?

Information on the Novistadors

Information for another boss fight who goes under the name... U3

A scan of commandos possibly being in the game.

Information confirming that there will be 2 Gigantes

I think it's one more day now till the game's release.

Mario · « **Reply #1041 on:** January 09, 2005, 02:15:20 PM »

Only 96%? I think I might have to pass on Resident Flop 4 now.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #1042 on:** January 09, 2005, 10:48:33 PM »

9.6 from Gamespot...

Zero_Plague · « **Reply #1043 on:** January 10, 2005, 03:23:30 AM »

Well guys, Resident Evil 4 has been released.
I won't get it until a week though, maybe even 2. (Bloody Lik Sang)

Anyway, give me all your impressions

Savior · « **Reply #1044 on:** January 10, 2005, 05:14:03 AM »

Wow amazing score by Gamespot. Love it. GOTY 2005 already

Myxtika1 Azn · « **Reply #1045 on:** January 10, 2005, 10:29:04 AM »

Does anybody here know what the "Special Edition" consists of? It's $10 more than the regular one, and I want to know if it is worth it.

Uglydot · « **Reply #1046 on:** January 10, 2005, 10:35:18 AM »

I haven't read a review in yeras, and yet, I find myself making fine choices and enjoying all of my games anyway. Interesting...

Information about the special edition can be found here. I personally don't see why there would be much reason to get it, although all that I'd be really interested in is the cel art.

Got it at EBgames today. Yikes...
Looks good, plays great, and is lots of fun. There are quite a few shocks in only the first subchapters already -- it seems like it is truly going to be a great game.
