It seems RE4 has been scored in Famitsu.  I also hear it is quite the HIGH score.

BioZomboid MEGAT0N?

[Zero_Plague]

Okay, some news from www.Resident-Evil-Allstars.de mentions some interesting points.  Some points have already been seen before, but I'll throw them into the list:


- Resident Evil 4 is planning to be released in April, 2005.
- Obviously, the villagers are sexist and have killed all the women in the village.
- The Resident Evil 4 demo will be playable for 60 minutes.
- Resident Evil 4 will approx.  be 1200 minutes.  (20 hours)
- Resident Evil 4 will be released uncut.
- It seems that Capcom are adding in sort of an RPG element like DMC where you are able to buy weapons with pesetas.
- Already known, the villagers speak Spanish.

Of course, like other reH members mentioned... this information is all aimed towards a German/Europe market, so the release date may easily be before the U.S. release.

So, we may conclude the new "infection" makes these villagers "ghey" or gynophobic.  Or they prefer female BBQ rather than cow beef. (haha)

I wonder if that 20 hours will be 20 hours of PURE DEFECATING TERROR.  And then on your speed run you can finish the game in under 1hr 45min thanks to fancy dodging techniques and ammunition conservation.

Do demo discs have regional lockout?

I might consider getting the Famitsu with the demo disc, but I'm not going to buy a Freeloader just for a demo.

[Bill Aurion]

Yes, they do...Just like all GC games...

[MaleficentOgre]

1 why does anyone care if women are in the game or not.  Do you have some fettish where you want psycho women to eat your flesh.  Really it isn't that big a deal.
2 region free consoles are amazing.  Thank you panasonic.

[Bill Aurion]

Well Resident Evil 2 had women zombies and it was the best one!

IT'S TRUE!

[MaleficentOgre]

I'm not sure it was the women zobies that made it good.  I think code veronica was the best so far.  I don't remember women zombies and I'm not sure that I cared. zombies are zombies, you shoot them in the head, man woman child dog spider doesn't matter just kill them all.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

In my world, almost nothing happens between RE1 and RE4.  Maybe that little love boat cruise Barry and Leon had on the Game Boy Color is acceptable.  Maybe.  Sounds sick if you ask me.

I'll buy a Freeloader just for the demo.  3months till the whole burrito is a long wait.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I've just pre-ordered the Weekly Famitsu Capcom Special w/ BioZomboid4 demo + trailer DVD, along with a copy of Freeloader.  Freeloader was around $5 off in this bundle.  I should be receiving it at least a week after the Sep.24 release date.

I'm nuts for collecting high-quality trailers.  PURE DEFECATING TERROR IS AT HAND.

[FyreWulff]

I'm near considering modding my GameCube just for the demo...

The awesomeness knows no bounds.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Better get the mod & demo sooner than later.  Don't hesitate in order to get whatever it is you want as early as possible.  Otherwise you might wait too long, get your GC modded, order the JPN demo for nearly the price of a new game, then a day later the U.S. demo comes out for like $10 or something and you'll be like "D'OH!!"

I'm getting my stuff early cuz I consider it a collectable, plus I'm crazy.

[Renny]

I'm crazy too. I ordered the mag and Star Soldier. Damnit, I modded my Cube and I'm gonna use it for more than just Bonk.... So I'll have a demo and another Hudson update then.

Plus I bought the Logitech wheel. It just doesn't stop.

[Zero_Plague]

If anyone is interested, reH translated a lot of information regarding the NE-T virus and its origins as well as detailed information about the Nemesis.  It's rather long and I decided to post it in here because it didn't really deserve a topic of its own.

Anyway, here it is:

Quote

NE-T Virus

The NE-T virus has very similar properties to the T-virus, but it was designed specifically in relation to the Tyrant Project. In response to reports of the T-002’s failure, a new project was started. Its original goal was to ensure the destruction of all anti-umbrella elements, specifically STARS members. It was given the grandiose title of ‘Goddess of Vengeance’. The research team though nicknamed the project Nemesis, as they held the surviving STARS members directly responsible for the T-001 and T-002’s failure and took a certain satisfaction in working on a project designed specifically to eliminate them, and the name stuck.
Research pertaining to a similar project had been started a few years ago when Umbrella researchers were looking to improve the general intelligence of BOWs. So far all T-virus created BOWs had had extremely low intelligence ratings. Umbrella needed a BOW that could understand and carry out orders. The American team led by Dr. Birkin was working on ways to increase the BOW's strength, whilst the European team was working on ways to increase the BOWs’ intelligence. Countless theories and ideas were traded and they first started experiments that involved directly operating on the subject’s brain. Birkin’s team succeeded in creating the T-002, which unlike the highly unstable T-001 could follow the simplest of orders such as ‘restraint’ and ‘attack’. But its intelligence was still insufficient for the BOW to operate in the field.
Then a breakthrough by the European team came in the form of the NE-Alpha, an independent organism created from the NE-T virus that could affect the host’s brain. Further experiments were made, including inserting the NE-Alpha into a Hunter. It was this experiment that provided crucial data that led to the creation of the T-103.

Nemesis

Nemesis is one of the deadliest BOWs ever created. Part of the Tyrant Project, the NE-T virus was used in its conception at the main Umbrella Facility in Paris. The first Nemesis was created when the NE-Alpha was inserted into the spine of a T-103. This was the Nemesis T-type. The parasite stimulates the T-virus cells and catalyses the formation of new brain cells. This allows the parasite to gain control of the host’s brain. In effect a second brain is formed, with all lower brain operations including control of the major organs and motor functions. Over time the NE-Alpha parasite will take over all bodily functions. Four compatible subjects were found, but during the mutation process one of the Nemeses maintained the ability of independent thought. Whether it was the parasite that was responsible or the host was never found out as the subject tried to escape and was destroyed immediately. The remaining Nemeses were given inhibitors that would limit the NE-Alpha’s growth when it reached maturity. This new modified Nemesis was classified the Nemesis T-02.
      Due to the fact that only 1 in 60,000,000 people have DNA that is compatible with the virus, Nemesis is an extremely rare BOW. It was a minor miracle that a compatible test subject was found at all. For all intents and purposes Nemesis is completely indestructible. Most conventional weapons have no effect on it and explosives only succeed in rendering it unconscious. It uses the same ‘scent’ program as the T-103s, enabling it to hunt down targets over large distances. Unlike other Tyrants, Nemesis is sentient. As it actually has a concept of what its mission is, it is able to improvise in situations. It is also able to use weaponry. In the Raccoon City incident Nemesis was issued with a modified C90-CR rocket launcher, which was used to great effect. Standing over nine feet tall, Nemesis wears the standard trench coat issued to Tyrants, which hides a mass of tentacles capable of infecting victims with the NE-T virus. The NE-T virus affects the central nervous system of the victim and can cause mild paralysis. If the victim should die, the NE-T virus contains enough T-virus cells to reanimate the victim, which increases the chances of the T-virus being spread. Unlike the T-103s, Nemesis is extremely agile, capable of jumping several storeys and outrunning any human. Its strength exceeds that of a T-103. Nemesis was killed during the Raccoon City incident by STARS member Jill Valentine. The circumstances that resulted in Nemesis’s death were extreme, and highly unlikely to be repeated. Regardless the loss of Nemesis was a huge blow to Umbrella and there is little chance of finding another compatible host.

Nemesis Mutation I

Nemesis was designed to secrete a substance that would increase its cell metabolism in order to counter any heavy attacks and recover from wounds. The downside would be more increasingly unstable mutations. After falling unconscious in a fire, Nemesis’s trench coat was burned off and its rocket launcher destroyed. The extreme pressure put on the body caused a spontaneous mutation effect seen with G-Types and Crimson Heads. Nemesis’s tentacles extended in length and the loss of the trench coat allowed greater mobility. Its attack patterns include wrapping its tentacles around its victim and throwing them against walls.

Nemesis Mutation II

After being decapitated, losing an arm and finally being boiled in large vat of acid in the Umbrella Waste Disposal Facility, which was designed to break down industrial waste, the remnants of Nemesis crawled to the nearby body of a T-103 and ingested some of the remains. The apparent infusion caused an extremely violent mutation. Its reaction was similar to that of a G-Type with new appendages being spontaneously generated. It also suffers from the same ‘devolution’ effect with each mutation; Nemesis reverted to a quadruped form and would have no doubt broken down into an amorphous blob had the mutations continued. An interesting chemical reaction also took place. Its unstable metabolic rate will cause a conflict between the T-virus and Nemesis-T virus cells. Nemesis can use this to its advantage by projecting a highly acidic compound of T and NE-T virus cells, capable of infecting anyone who comes into contact with this substance. Its acid and tentacle attacks are less effective than its previous attack patterns, but still lethal nonetheless. It is interesting to note that Nemesis continued to pursue its mission goal of eliminating all STARS members even when near death, and when mutations should have substantially altered its brain.

That report was slightly altered by an reH member because the original version of it sounded incredibly goofy as if it wasn't even written by an offical source of any kind.

The report covers up a lot of plot holes but unfortunetly, also creates a few more.  Nevertheless, quite interesting and it is worth a read.  

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Renny, the Logitech wheel w/ Burnout 2 is a match made in heaven.  Trust me.

[Renny]

So I've heard. That's really the reason I got it. BO3 made me want it again. I've also heard R:RE is good with the wheel. Anyway, I'll be renting any racer that supports it after dropping $70 on the damn thing.

[Zero_Plague]

It's been an exciting past few hours now.  I believe that most of the people who pre-ordered the Capcom Special Famitsu Magazine with the demo of Resident Evil 4 should be receiving it very soon.  The shipments were sent today and should be reaching you within a week.  I'm eager to hear the reviews of RE4.    

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I'm not sure about "soon" since i still don't expect to have it for another 1.5weeks.  I'm crazy, by I'm not crazy about paying $22 (that's a Player's Choice title for Lisa's sake!) for 3-5 day UPS shipping.  I've read at Play-Asia that a small initial batch has been shipped; i'm not sure if my pre-order was early enough to be part of that.

I know you're eager for reviews, but since I don't like writing I'll just send you video instead. *_*

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Resident Evil 4 (US) is now available for pre-order at Capcom USA's website.  See "Amazing Deals" thread.

[Dasmos]

Does anyone know if REutbreak is any good? And is it coming to cube or will i have to buy it on my PS2?

[MaleficentOgre]

Not coming to cube, game sucks.  It kind of proves nintendo's position on online games.  Games like outbreak that focus purely on online play won't sell, especially when the online parts of the game aren't that fun.  The only good thing about the game is turning into a zombie and killing off your former teammates.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

MY DEMO HAS SHIPPED.  WISH ME LUCK

i don't know

[Renny]

Mine shipped early this morning too. Got the cheap-ass economy envelope. It could take awhile.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I learned to not get economy envelope for overseas shipments.  Things can get banged up pretty good.  A couple soundtracks I got had their jewel cases cracked/crushed (ZeldaWW and Metroid Prime, no less).  I still need to replaces those cases.

So I went with economy box.

BioZomboid banzai!
