Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Is there an option to turn the gore off??

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

You MUST be kidding...

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Angrist, are you sure you shouldn't reconsider playing the game if you're worried about gore? I mean, how much can the lack of polygonal blood change the scope of the game for you? You're still killing people/zombies.

just a thought.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Nice score. Makes me wonder how the PS2 version will turn out now :unsure: Hopefully its not too different from what it is right now for the 'Cube.

I wonder how shall I get this game. hmmm

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

So in a time when people were saying the survival horror genre was becoming quite a bit thin (well, I don't agree but I've heard many people say that), IGN calls RE4 the "Best Survival Horror game ever made"? Brilliant!

Can't wait to play it...

I wanna see why the hell Ada is still there... I wonder if they'll actually explain it like they explained how Wesker was still alive in RE:CV ;o

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

It's so nice to see a game score so well. I'd love to see graphics.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Crash, you bastard! You tricked me there with your somewhat misleading thread title. =/

Oh well.

I plan to get the Gamecube version, because of the Gamecube's graphic capability.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Okay, so I want to play this game, but I've never (fully) played any other RE, and with the control scheme they have (much less the save system, ugh) I probably never will.

But I have to have the games stories, or I will feel completely wrong when playing RE4 (never mind if it'll make sense or not; it just will feel wrong [my mom thinks I'm obssesive compulsive]). So, I thought, "I could read the novels!" But I didn't want to go and spend money on them (and distract me from other, better stuff) if they absolutely sucked or had nothing to do with the games.

So what I'm asking is, are the novels worth it? Would I be able to read those instead of playing the games, and still get the whole story? Or are they poo? Are they worth buying, or will a library work (I've actually seen them there...)?


*shrugs and walks away*

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Great. I just put my preorder down.

This will be the first RE game I play.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I didn't even know there were novels...

I suggest just going to gamefaqs and reading plot guides... They say what's goin down and they're free... :D :D :D

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

But boring, and very rarely written very well.


*shrugs and walks away*

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

That and it wont come out for PS2 for at least 9 more months...

Anyways. Im impressed it scored that high. Looks like it plays as well as it scored. I think I'll read through the whole thing now...

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

lol, Crash tricked me. I've been waiting for this game for a while. Wonder how I shall get it. Heh

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Wow, I never thought I'd say this again, but... I want to play a Resident Evil game again. I haven't said that in over 5 years since RE 2.

Time to start saving the pennies...

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I was only going to rent this game until I read the review... now I think I'll buy it.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I second that.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Wow, even with the IGN filter turned on, that's still like what? A 9.1?

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

This game looks horrible gorgeous.

Me likey!

I havent really been into any other RE game before....I dont know....I dont think I'll buy it, because this isnt really my type of swag, but I'll give it a rent probibbably.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

ps2 version = sux

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Intersting...Very Intersting.

God I hope it sells well for Gamecube....I honestly dont think it will, but im Praying.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

The ps2 version sucks because Makami is pissed?

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I'm hoping it sells well not because I want Nintendo to excel, but I want it to sell because Capcom put a lot of their effort in it.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I saw a commercial with an "Only For" logo on the RE4 box.

I seriously frown upon anyone who waits for a PS2 version. I think it would sell like Viewtiful Joe 2.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Same here. I mean I could care less if a ****ty game sells or not, buts its sad when a game like this Or Eternal Darkness sell poorly. Because they should sell so much better.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Just got my GMR today. RE4 got a 10/10 :D

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I don't think anybody's mentioned this yet...

9.6 from Gamespot...

My guess is nobody's brought it up because the only time anybody brings up a score of theirs is when it's lower than most others, giving them reason to bitch about how gamespot gives lower scores to be kewl, or they hate gamecube...

:sneaky:

I'm hoping to pick up a copy tomorrow... If the stores get it in yet... But I just started playing MGS3 so >_<

OH and another thing, the reviews make the gameplay sound great, but they also make it sound like they turned the game into a crazy action game and threw the story out the window aside from a short cutscene here and there to keep things on track...

Which could be either a good or a bad thing, I guess I'll have to play it to decide which... *strokes beard*

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I like RE, but haven't played all of the others.

I will have to pick this one up. Do you need to know about previous RE's before playing this one?

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Uh... Well...

Let's see, I've played 1 & 2, watched someone beat three and zero, and played most of Code Veronica. I think you might just want to read a story FAQ or something like that, to maybe get the generalized idea of the story and junk. You probably wont get some of the little things in the game, some of the connections. Oh well.

I'm super Psyched about RE 4 and I seriously can't wait! It comes out today. How awesome!

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Man I gotta wait until Thursday to get it... but from then on... ;)

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I've got it in my hands right now.

Well, not actually IN my hands, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this right now.

But I can't wait to play it.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

The game is mine! MIIIIINE!!... I havn't started playing it yet though, but I'm about to... Impressions shall follow shortly...

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

I have about 3 and a half hours of play time on the clock...

First off there's a nice little (brief) recap of the major events of RE1, 2, and 3 at the beginning... Although it doesn't go into too much detail...

So yeah the game is good... The stiff behind the back camera took a little getting used to, but once I did it started to look quite nice...

Another thing is it just feels like you should be able to sidestep, but you can't...

The reviews made it sound like they skipped on the story in favor of the action, however to me there seems to be about as much story development throughout the game as there was in the past games... So that's a relief, I'm just still hoping for some tie-in to past RE games other than Leon and Ada's presence...

So like yeah... I'm sure IGN and Gamespot's pretty scoring system is more convincing, but like buy it and stuff...

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Oh, HOT.

I played it for 6 hours straight before stopping. All I should say is, this game is well worth the money. It's so SWEETT. SWEET ASS SWEET.


:D

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Yeah. I'm totally pumped. I played it for five hours last night, and I gotta say, it's one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a while (and that's including Half-Life 2, Halo 2, MGS3).

And the graphics? Oh, man. I can't even get over them. They're absolutely gorgeous. I can hardly wait to get further into the game to see what happens.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

How far are you now?

P.S. Anyone playing this game for the first time -- when you get to a gate that you open with a switch, please take the left gate. It saves headaches, trust me.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

man, everything i've read about the game says it is the best game on the cube... now that's saying something. they say its' game of the year material. perfect 10's better than halo 2 (not hard to do) etc.... i must pick it up... if only to make sure 3rd parties know their games can sell on a nintendo system.

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

This is a really good game, but I couldn't see myself buying a Gamecube. But then again, it is dirt cheap.

Needless to say, it's addicting. I'll probably go home today and not even look at my homework. I gotta get across that lift!

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

That was like the most frustrating part I'd run into so far... Maybe the shotgun would be the best choice (I guess the spray would be enough to knock em off balance and over the railing), but I figured hey, rifle = best aiming in the game!... But the reload is so slow there's no way to kill them all and not get hit at least once...

Then the battle that takes place on the other side = frustrating...

But wait, you're telling me that (from your first report) you hit the 6 hour mark, but weren't even across the lift? I'm at 5 hours 2 minutes... And I'm a short ways past it...

And that's with me taking my time, being all dramatic and walking around, aiming first when I turn corners, etc because it just looks so damn cool...

Re: 4 Flops hard
 

Nah, I just left it on for 6 hours. I had dinner, computer time.. I felt pretty involved so I just left it on.
