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

ps2 version = sux

Series creator Shinji Mikami isn't happy with the PS2 port for RE4 and by the sounds of things his discontent is only the beginning of Capcoms woes.

The creator of the Resident Evil series, Mr. Shinji Mikami, is said to be extremely disheartened and annoyed with the decision to port Resident Evil 4 to the PlayStation 2, a game which, for a long period of time, was meant to be an exclusive title for the GameCube. Mikami in fact has said that he will take no part in the PS2 version and will take up his new position at Clover Studios once the GameCube version is completed.

It has also been confirmed somewhat that the reason behind the port of RE4 was not due to them, "listening to the voices of gamers across the world." Rather, as expected, it was because of the Capcom board wanting to increase company stock value. A decision echoed by feelings in the Capcom ranks that the development teams are loosing their voice and too many decisions are being made by executives or as they say, the men up top who have very little, or no dealings, with the work at ground level.

It appears that Mikami hurrying up his departure from the RE team is only the tip of the iceberg. Many other experienced staff at Capcom are set to leave the company once Resident Evil 4 is finished development, including ex-big wig himself, Mr. Okamoto.

Simply put the question needs to be asked, "Is Capcom becoming to greedy?"

Resident Evil 4 for the GameCube is currently set to hit North American retail on January 11.

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.

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.

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.

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

DeathsHand · 01-11-2005, 12:52 AM

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...

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*

bobcat · 01-11-2005, 12:55 AM

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?

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!

Dark Samurai · 01-11-2005, 02:45 PM

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