Resident Evil 4

Mr E

Review is up on IGN. A score of 9.8, and the best survival horror ever. 20 hours of gameplay.

I'm ordering today..

smokingman

heading to GAME this afternoon myself for a pre-order.
Heard somewhere that they will be giving away a making-of DVD with it if you pre-order there....
I'll find out later for sure.

Cannot wait for this one

Swifty

Sounds cool. I'd import but I have PM2 and Tales of Symphonia to finish so I'll wait for the PAL version. Can't wait though, it sounds cool that you're always under attack from things rather than them giving up when you go through a door.

Retr0gamer

First 2 reviews are a 10/10 and 9.8. Sounds great. Love the resident evil series. However don't have enough money to get this from America. Will definitely get it the day its released on PAL.

Just ordered it from Play-Asia, hopefully will support 480P mode too! Free Umbrella to boot!

Apparently it does...can't wait to hear it on my surround system too...the sound was always brilliant on the resi games and I'd imagine the slow moaning getting ever closer and creepier will leave me completely sh**ing bricks with all the lights off!

Lex_Diamonds

Wow, looks sweet. What's the Euro release date?

Yeah, I pre-ordered it there in November, can't bloody wait!!

As for PAL release, I think it's hovering sometime around March 2005 now, according to another Resi 4 thread.

Was going to nab it on import, but I went and bought Zelda: Four Swords Adventures today so it'll have to wait.

does using gba's to play mess it up or add to it

<offtopic, but replying to D22ontour>
I think it adds to it. You can play it single-player using your GC controller (for the GBA parts a window pops up in the middle of the screen), but you need GBAs to play multiplayer. It's ridiculously good fun in multiplayer, I was playing the multiplayer a bit with a friend who bought the US version. Epona racing = best minigame EVER.

Is March the release for bot GC and PS2 per chance?

rainbow kirby

Just GC. You're looking at about another 9-10 months for PS2, for what's probably going to be an inferior version of the game.

senordingdong

It is inferior looking (I'v seen a demo of it) but not as bad as everyone would assume.

On another note, whnever a game moves to another console, it always comes with extras. Something I look forward to.

d22ontour

thank god they sorted the controls out the ps1 ports with a lick of paint didnt do anything for me

did you actually read the review? still the same digital controls only with added analogue aiming (woopdee****ingdoo!)

sounds like the typical "add 2 to the real score" ign review to me tbh

how about you wait until you play it to be the judge of that. The camera angles have changed singnificantly, which effectively means the controls are a LOT easier to use, and feel natural.

tman

meh!

(i'm trying not to build myself up for a big letdown... help me out ffs)

honru

I've played the demo, and 'tis indeed very nice to play, definetly a step up over past Resident Evil games (especially with the aiming). I'll be picking this one up.

evad_lhorg

its fookin hard not to get wroekd up over it. especially whe the first 3 reviews it received gave it an average of 9.9 out of 10. i cant wait for the 11th when my copy ships!!!!!!!

TCamen

/me watches Resident Evil: Apocalypse and gets even more excited about Resi 4

evad_lhorg

as far as being a good film, its terrible but i thoroughly enjoyed it even though you could see shag all in the fight scenes cause the camera was movin everywhere. I had to cancel my order at lik sang cause the chainsaw release has been changed to feb so ill have to put another in just for the game when i can nab that credit card off my brother again.

That sucks -- I was looking forward to a detailed playtest on the chainsaw!

It really isn't a great movie by any stretch, but I really really like it -- the little game references make it that much more likeable. *gasp* S.T.A.R.S uniforms, actual S.T.A.R.S personnel, Jill Valentine, Nemesis growling "Stars"

Whatever about Alice

aye. pretty damn enjoyable movie (i was drunk at the time tbh)
sticking slightly closer to the plot of one of the games actually helped it out.

Even forgetting alice, and that poxy ending, i thought the movie sucked. I'm a huge fan of the series but WTF did paul anderson do to nemesis! The real nemesis would have

shot the stupid bitch into twenty million little blobs of red bouncy flesh instead of realising he actually loved her or was human at one stage

. Thats what p*ssed me off about hellboy too. poxy american dumbing down

bad guy actually a good guy

mentality.

grrr

anyway, must play resi two again. still havent finished 1 on the gc yet. scary game that is, love the lighting!

evad_lhorg

the next film will have shag all to do with the games it seems. i mean wtf is the alice project?

LookingFor

Gamespot gave it 9.6 :eek: For reference, they gave the same score to GTA:SA, 9.4 to Halo 2 and 9.2 to Half - Life 2.

evad_lhorg

excellent!!!! cant wait to see what games tm give it next month but ill probably have finished it by that time.

jared almasy

i was kinda hoping for a christmas release for it (the image of a jolly festive house with just one little patch of shadow in the corner with me cackling to myself kinda appealed to me) but with all the work put into it will make it worth all the wait, its on my 'list' for definite. i just want to shoot axes out of the air and tackle monsters...the anticipation is eating me

evad_lhorg

eb games in U.S are giving out a free making of dvd with all their pre orders. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrippedddd!!!!!!!! torrent file

http://bt.s0nicfreak.com/download.php/516/The_Making_of_Resident_Evil_4.rar.torrent

tman

evad_lhorg

tman

but there's plenty of naughty stuff to be found via that link

evad_lhorg

is there? oh must go have a look so!

Retr0gamer

I'd remove the link, the mods won't be happy.

tman

sweet jesus :eek:
that looks so ****ing cool!
makes the previous gameplay footage i've seen look like a walk in the park.

Retr0gamer

Best head explosions ever!

howz about now? is that ok?

tman

still fairly sketchy tbh

uploading the torrent to some webspace is your only option really...
then again, the mods might disagree with the posting of it in the first place.

evad_lhorg

well seeing as it is free anyway i doubt it can be illegal. if the mods dont like it they can go.... eh delete the link(please dont ban :cool: )

evad_lhorg

so anywho i ordered this from lik sang a few days ago along with a freeloader. anyone ordered somethin of smilar size from them before? if so how long did it take?

tman

its a good bit cheaper from play-asia.com...
lik-sang have been speedy enough with my past deliverys (within a week for games)

i_am_dogboy

You can download the making of video from happypuppy so i don't think it's illegal....

Being hyped by the international press as one of the best Gamecube™ titles ever, Resident Evil 4 is also one of the top ranked games at all time on Play-Asia.com - presold evenly with Tomy's Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 (released in the end of November 2004).

Officially being released and shipping in the US while those words are written, our initial batch of the game is anticipated to arrive this very late afternoon (January 11th). We have well prepared for a smooth dispatch of all preorders, meaningly that all customers with a currently confirmed preorder can expect a shipping confirmation e-mail on Tuesday, January 12th. New orders placed now will be scheduled to ship a couple of days later once another restock shipment of the game is expected to arrive.

I'll be expecting an email tomorrow so! Pre-ordered it in November!!

Resident Evil 4 has been crowned by the international press as one of the best (Gamecube™) games ever. Check out Gamerankings.com for an overview of assorted reviews. The game is currently ranked at 98%, which is one of the highest rankings ever.

evad_lhorg
