<div class="IPBDescription">Speculations, Comments?</div> Well, I ordered mine from gamestop as the collector's edition. Since it comes out today, I'm wondering what everyone thinks of this game. It also got some pretty good revies, hehe.

    So is it still some of the same zombie survival horror games everyone has had enough of?

    What makes it any different from the previous "Get the blue key from the red door"
    Resident Evil games?

    Yea I know that the zombies now carry weapons... Wooo!?

    And it takes place in a farking zoo? Seems to me they're running out of (boring) ideas!
    Noes!

    Maybe I dont know the whole story though... But all the recent resident evils are just plain bad. I dont remember what the newer one is called, but I do remember that it sucks bawls.

    Its a whole new style of play..
    You get to aim the gun manually, the camera moves with you - unlike all the other RE games where there's a camera in the corner of the room and it follows you, killer graphics, running smart zombies, and much more ! (God i make this sound like an advertisment)

    Aaannndddd... Its a Gamecube exclusive ! :D

    The head person at capcom even said "he'd cut off his head if it wasn't gamecube exclusive"(or something similar)

    It will be coming out on the ps2 in a year.
    Good luck on it looking anywhere near as good on the ps2 though.


    And damn you americans getting it before us europeans <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    IIRC, the "zombies" are not zombies in RE4.

    There's quite a few 'action' movements you can take (ie diving through windows), enemies move faster and wield weapons, and also work together. The story is also different - I don't think Umbrella Corp is even mentioned in this one, though I could be wrong on that. I'm also told you can die in multiple ways (hello gore) though I'm not sure if that's left in the American version or not.

    Rustystpoon: Fabulous way to miss out on what could possibly be great titles by pre-judging based on platform. Good job. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You're thinking about Resident Evil: Outbreak File #2, that takes place in the zoo.

    Aside, the graphics look terrific and I can't wait for it to come to the PS2. The in-game video's also look very promising. Read some of the reviews, the upgrade system seems to really shine.

    Should I go with boom, ratatata, or *click**click*click*? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Why? Because it's on a system with good games?

    But damn this game looks good, my friend said it was delayed to the 13th. I don't know if I'll be picking it up, but I'll have to play it soon.

    RE is the only game I'd get a GC for, and I still won't get a GC because I've never played any RE games.

    All the good games are on PC, and those include, and are limited to WoW.

    But hey, RE4. Woot, and all that.
    I also don't think it's GC exclusive, just the initial release is...
  • torquetorque Join Date: 2003-08-20 Member: 20035Members, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    Even if it is "GC Exclusive," they can always re-release it later for other systems - they just did that with Viewtiful Joe. I'm not sure if the contracts specify that the 'exclusive' license is time-based, but I know you can repackage a game, slap in a few minor differences and re-release it without breaking the 'exclusive' legality (hence DoA2 and then DoA2: Hardcore).

    Doesn't make the Gamecube a worse machine. You can still play Rogue Squadron 3 or Mario Sunshine or The Legend of Zelda until you fall asleep.

    GC > PS2

    Metroid prime1+2
    Zelda:WW
    F-Zero-GX
    MGS:twin snakes


    The ony thing the the PS2 has going for it is the GTA series, and they are only exclusive for a year anyway.

    getting a PS2 is just jumping on the bandwagon(unless you get it for free), or unless you actually believe it is a better console, in which case you are horribly, <b>horribly</b> mistaken
  • NakedDaveNakedDave Join Date: 2005-01-07 Member: 33294Members
    Uh, just an update on Resident Evil (sorry to interrupt this fun little GC is better! no, PS2 is better! No, the PC is better! fight), the game is out, and Gabe of Penny Arcade actually managed to break his WoW addiction through this game.

    Well, not break, put on hold. Regardless, any praise from them is usually deserved.

    I've had the game since yesterday and i'm truly loving it. It's a completely new game compared to the others (which i own too). Plus the game has a solid 20+ hours of gameplay from my understanding even though I'm taking it slow. The weapons, enemies, camera, stories everything on this game is outstanding. One of the best games I've played on a console in a very VERY long time.

    I've been playing thorugh the game, and everything about it is spectacular. The graphics, gameplay, story, voice acting, controls, EVERYTHING. I'm going to go so far as to call it the best modern console game (excluding NES/SNES of course).

    Now I'm going to go even further and say its on par with HL2. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I got a broken PS2 given to me, and it took me 6 months to bother even getting the FREE repairs for it. 6 months later I've only played about 4 games on it.
