We shall see.

I havn't played Manhunt, but from what I heard it's very stealthy... Lot of sitting around in the shadows waiting for the right time to move/strike/whatever...

I highly doubt there'll be any of that in RE4... The only way it sounds similar to me (both judging by previews only) is the general idea of the enemies, a bunch of weirdos running around with weapons...

You guys are under the mindset that theyve showed us the entire game in those few crappy magazine scans? Why couldnt leon still be infected, and there still be dark castle is locations?

Not in terms of gameplay, but plot and setting. Main character dropped into some dangerous area filled with muderous psychos bent on ripping him apart by any means necessary. That's what it reminded me of anyway when I read the new info.

I read on MagicBox that they scrapped everything they did about this game before we've seen this new footage :P

Well that could be a possibility, however it just seems waaaay too different from before... No black virus things in any of the screens, no settings anything near the dark castle-ish thing...

And if you've ever heard of "RE 1.5", then you'd know it wouldn't be the first time Capcom scrapped everything and started over...

Resident Evil 1.5 information

It was supposidly 70-80% complete and they scrapped it all... It could explain why it's taking them so long to release RE4...

Edit: Oh and here'd be the best proof... Quote from the magic box BLueFire mentioned...

"the producer mentioned that all previous scenes shown were scraped, the story and details were totally reworked"

Ick dude. Manhunt was the singular most disappointing game I've ever played. It's got some really disturbing crap in it. But the stealth factor was really bad. The enemies all follow set paths until they see you, at which time they follow you until you go into a dark corner. They then go back to their path and pretend nothing happened. Stealth=Deus Ex, but that's just me.

but the new gameplay additions should be fun... I'm curious as to how the classic RE controls will work out with the new view... I never had a problem with the controls in the first place...

It looks like there will be a couple guest appearances in the game... Among them, Leatherface and Cave Trolls from LotR...

Edit: Bluefire reminded me about Wesker's company thing, which is probably behind it all... So the story might not be as bad as it first sounds...

I agree with you a lot here. I want the damn zombies! Villagers don't scare me, even if they have some leather face complex. But what's that about "sherry and all the good stuff?" I tought you found RE2 storyline to be kinda lame. At least you always said you didn't like Claire looking for her brother. I tought you would find the Sherry part of the story to be just as "lame."

wonder why they scrapped it, the graphics rule!

Errr the graphics really probably wouldn't have been much worse than the final RE2... They were PS1 games, afterall...

And Nemisis, I think RE2 is overrated... Everyone says it's the best game of the series, but I disagree... I don't think it's a bad game (I've beaten it many-a-time), necesarily... One thing I know I have said is that I don't like how RE went from more of a cheesy horror movie type of game to a more sci-fi taking itself seriously kinda game... Which started with RE2, but I dunno...

After the RE Remake came out and you got Lisa and all this junk and I found out Wesker has Sherry, I've been curious as to what's gonna happen to her...
