As it turns out I had a weird RE4 dream last night (seriously) where I saved Leon from "el Gigante" while it was distracted by the dog running around the courtyard. I pulled Leon into a shed and revealed a hole in the floor which lead to an underground cave. Weird dream, huh? This is game is so fu*kin' awesome I'm dreaming about it, LOL.

Intresting.... Man I met Lord Saddler, he's creepy, he reminds me of morbious from Soul Reaver.
The Chief is like friggin lurch.

There are actually four, eventually you'll have the pleasure of fighting two simultaneously!. This Game is very tough.

Damn. It took me about an hour to figure out how to finally beat that son of a bitch, LOL. Once you learn how to handle "el Gigante", it's pretty easy to beat. It took me a good 30 minutes before I saw the CLIMB command appear at the bottom of the screen because I was trying to keep my distance...

Does anyone know where/how to register this game? It's says in the back of the manual but apparently not even the url they provide is for registration, all I got on my monitor was a contest registration.

I just found out the ending for RE4, and it's pretty amazing... it even leaves it open for Resident Evil 5.

Anyway, thanks for the videos Pro666, I'll be watching them soon.

ResidentEvilGC · « **Reply #1082 on:** January 14, 2005, 01:09:11 PM »

I have a question. I pre-ordered RE4 on Sat. Jan. 8 from Capcom's web site, Does anybody know about how long it will take until I receive my game? I have been waiting for this game since it was announced and I dont know how much longer I can sit and wait.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1083 on:** January 14, 2005, 01:36:49 PM »

You pre-ordered your game quite late. It's either in the last batch of shipments to roll out of Capcom in Sunnyvale, or it was pushed back into the post-release shipment, assuming the earlier pre-orders exhausted the initial stock. And since you ordered on a Saturday, I bet the order wasn't processed until the following Monday, the 10th. At this point, I have no clue when you'll be receiving it.

I pre-ordered from Capcom last September, and received my game on the 11th.

odifiend · « **Reply #1084 on:** January 14, 2005, 01:41:33 PM »

I ordered and December and got mine the 12th. I know my roommate ordered the 9th and Capcom had actually ran out of RE4. A good sign for Capcom, but not for you.

MagicToenail · « **Reply #1085 on:** January 15, 2005, 04:07:04 AM »

nevermind, I figured it out.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1086 on:** January 16, 2005, 11:14:38 PM »

Well, I've got the game now... haven't got far at all (just the second typewriter) but I love it so far. All kinds of scary, especially since I never played the demo.

It seems the radio does tell you where you need to go, thank God for that.

Also, playing this game with hearing aids is crazy. I can still notice the dramatic music cues that mean an enemy's nearby (they do get your heart racing) as well as assorted screams and shouts (in Spanish, I take it... so you guys aren't getting that much more out of it unless you know Spanish) but I have no idea where they're coming from so I run around like a crazed rabbit and kill everyone in sight but they sneak up behind me and stick axes in my back.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #1087 on:** January 17, 2005, 01:01:43 AM »

If this isn't the best game this generation, then i dunno what is.

And if there is a better game this generation well...........I dunno if i can handle any more greatness!

Seriously me and my friend are now about the same place and we both have gone through the game a bit differently and we laugh at each other because i seem go let enemies get extremely close to me and knife them but i sometimes get my head chopped for being dumb, and i laugh at him cause he has stepped into a lot of bear traps, lol.

PaLaDiN - It sounds like you are able to hear just about everything. How do the cutscenes hold-up? Is that dialog a problem for you?

Everything about this game is downright creepy (wait until the sun sets – and you have to go through a cemetery. It is probably the eeriest experience I’ve ever had playing a game. Previous RE games have touched on this scenario – but that was nothing compared to the way RE4 does it.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to play this weekend and I’m literally stuck on Chapter 2-2 (no one left to kill and apparently nowhere to go since all of my exits are blocked off). I’ll figure it out once I get a chance to play again.

Those bear traps are a pain in the ass – BUT they do teach you to pay closer attention to your surroundings. Step in enough of them and sooner (or later) you’ll be on the lookout to make sure you don’t see any being masked by the shadows. Unfortunately, Ashley isn’t too bright and just can’t seem to avoid getting her ass caught up in those bear traps.

I just gotta chime in here and say that if you don't own Resident Evil 4 (and your mommy will allow you to have it), GET IT. It's much better than I ever thought possible.

It's less "old-style Resident Evil" and almost breaks into first-person shooter territory. It's kind of like a first-person shooter with a smidgeon less freedom control-wise, but I love how it's relatively free-roaming and you can backtrack as much as you want. It doesn't even feel like it's part of the Resident Evil series, to be honest. It feels like it's a takeoff of the series that's been done by a different developer, that's how different it feels.

And oh yeah, the graphics are AMAZING and the boss battles are INSANE. I'd say it's the best game on Gamecube, with Metroid Prime/Prime 2 coming in a very close second. I really can't rave about it enough.

To say this game is anything but the best is an understatement. I love the new over the shoulder cam. I am in chapter 3 now and this game really ramps up the difficulty once you get here. My only issue is how dark it is, maybe it is just my TV, but my XBOX and DVD player show up nice and celar, oh well, the darkness can be worked around, this game is awsome. Gotta go play!!!

Yeah, can't hear anything they say in cutscenes. Just a lot of babbling to me. Oh well.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #1094 on:** January 17, 2005, 08:16:03 AM »

Notice how a single critic hasn't said anything negative about this game. Some people didn't like Metroid Prime 2. Some didn't like Halo 2. Some didn't like World of Warcraft. Some didn't like San Andreas or Snake Eater. A couple were even disappointed with Half-Life 2. But no one is complaining about Resident Evil 4. One look at metacritic.com (like gamerankings, except they don't accept reviews from all sites, just the mags and sites that are quality stuff, and they take submissions for new sites, and they also weight reviews from respected publications like Gamespot higher) will show that Resident Evil 4 has an overall rating of 97 at the moment, with the lowest review a 90/100. Metroid Prime also has a 97 (and that's with 68 reviews) and only had 2 reviews in the 80's. Ocarina of Time has a 99 and is the highest rated game, and all reviews for it are 100 except 3, which are all in the 90's.

If you go into the "Options" there is something there for video. It allows you to adjust the game's contrast.

You're not missing much other than the typical overacting - although it's much better than in most other games. Any major plot revelations made during the cutscenes are communicated back to Harrigan (or whatever her name is) over the two-way radio.

I've never been a fan of the Resident Evil series, but I'm seriously considering getting this.

I really do not see how you would enjoy this game if you did not like the first three...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1099 on:** January 17, 2005, 12:38:55 PM »

Gunplay. Atmosphere. Variety.

I'm not a fan of the series, but I'm a fan of the STARS and the "Mansion Incident" and all the 50+ year backstory leading up to the Mansion Incident. I like the Remake and Zero. But I've little to no care for what happened between RE1 and RE4.

I'm enjoying RE4 more than RE1 and RE0 combined.
