Capcom's New Path for RE4

[MuGen]

TOKYO, JAPAN -- Capcom revealed to select press executives that the RE4 release for the PS2 would take on a new path. Earlier footage from E3 2004 showed Leon wandering an old decrepit mansion which was reminiscent of the past survival horror games. This included enemies such as bloody dolls and spectre's shooting from paintings and a whole new adventure as Capcom would put it. Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 will take this path, and include 5 more hours of gameplay. The PS2 version will have what would be the Gamecube version's story, plus the mansion which would unveil more in the story. Capcom has stated that this is one of the reasons it is releasing the PS2 version a year later.

S...I...C...K................ I'm getting the PS2 version now!

EDIT: If you look at the earlier footage, it shows the game in a free third person mode which first person aiming. It is all coming together.

What in the holy hell? The PS2 version will have 5 more hours? That totally blows for GC owners. I guess it's good I haven't gotten RE4 yet. Though will the graphics be on par?

obviously technically the graphics wont be on par. however IMO, i believe they can cut enough corners, and find ways to work around some problems that the graphics will look reasonably close enough.

RE4 Directors Cut for the 'Cube down the road? (or Revolution )

But good news for PS2 owners. Nintendo is probably pretty peeved but oh well, **** happens

Meh. As frustrated as I am that they didn't just wait and release the same thing on the Gamecube I suppose it's only fair that PS2 owners get something for the long wait.

I predict those 5 hours are going to be more like 2 hours for gamers like us. PR tends to release numbers clocked in casual gamer time.
