dont think they do.. the last time i bought a street date broken game was pro evo 4 in gamestop in cork.. the dude behind the counter told me it was only cause Game were doing it...

I imported an American copy of resi 4 from a website but due to various problems only got it last week :rolleyes: In retrospect I should have just waited. This game is well funky tho; I'm enjoying every second of it. Just one more day...

Retr0gamer

Finished it last weekend. I have to say that it could well be the game of the year. I'm surprised that capcom made such a fantastic 3rd person action game. It puts shame to all the other generic games in the genre. Every gamecube own should rush out and get this excellent game even if they don't like resident evil since it now plays like a whole new game.

Ciaran500

Is it scary like the last ones?

Rhyme

It looks scary as hell, although the Lord of the Rings influence is puzzling me. Good thing they have included some of the exclusive monsters from the books,

the thing in the water (leviathan)

Creature

I'm curious about what you're referring to when you say "Lord of the Rings influence"?

I imported it around mid-February. Superb game an definitely the best of it's genre. Though in terms of scariness I'd say it has it's moments but really did nothing for me.

When you finish the game you get a harder difficulty mode to play with which IMO is much more fun and balanced and how the game should've been presented in the first place. The scariness factor is upped somewhat when you've 5-10 enemies approaching and only a handful of handgun rounds left

Tusky

Anyone know if it will be released today anywhere?

That giant troll thing coming through the gateway

That's got nothing to do with LotR, if that's what you're saying. Here's a wikipedia entry about it.

Rhyme

No-no, the

giant troll was the LOTR ref in my view

the

thing in the water was from the books

Goodshape

I see.. resident evil books then? Never heard of them... but a quick google reveals that they do indeed exist.




you sad basterd

Burned i so am, i noticed them when on holiday one time and bought them all over a space of a few months... havent read them in about 3 year

Creature

I suppose they do look similar, though I'd hardly call LOTR an influence because of that.

Moving on, I found a site here where you can download all of the in game cut-scenes and boss fights. Of course it contains spoilers so if you haven't played the game don't clink the link!

I have €20 on my reward card. I get paid tomorrow. RE4 is released. I think that's fate.

Swifty

Woohoo, have it sitting next to my cube right now, actually what the hell am i doing on these forums

DingChavez

^Where did you get it? It wasn't in GAME when I looked in this morning..

deRanged

I tried Game in Cork for it half an hour ago and it wasn't on the shelves.

sure itt will only cost you about 20quid of the bank. you have to! i want that pal box! its so cool lookin and the discs too! im stuck with my gay lookin american box my game save wont work with the pal game unfortunately.

Retr0gamer

Whats with bloody American NTSC boxes. Resident Evil and Final Fantasy boxes look terrible for the NTSC games. Much nicer artwork on the PAL boxes. Proves Americans have no taste

What's the PAL conversion like. Capcom usually do great conversions but even the NTSC version had big dirty PAL lines (they could be removed if your tv has a zoom function).

Deadwing

ARRRRGH!!! Noooo!!!! Why, WHY must i be stuck in friggin work until half 7, absolutely nowhere near a game shop?? Looks like ill have to wait til tomorrow..god damn these late shifts to bloody hell :mad:
Been waiting for his game since those first early videos about 3 damn years ago..lol

Zombrex

Anyone know if it is out in HMV in Grafton St yet?

Might head in on the Luas after work (lovely all week 7pm opening)... Bought a DS there last week, RE4 this week ... I am such a Nintendo whore

smokingman

Just collected my copy from Game on Dawson st...now all I have to do is finish work and run home..

The guy in there tells me that every third person in there this morning bought it. Not surprising really.

I've got the beers in the fridge, the woman gotton rid of for the weekend, 15 spare pairs of boxers....I'm all set!

rainbow kirby

There had better be one left for me... I'm only starting work at 5!

Tusky

Yep has big dirty borders on it. But big dirty smooth 60hz borders My widescreen has a handy fit to screen button anyway, you get a slight reduction in quality but its worth it. It's cool so far, but im only on chapter 3 of the first part. I wouldn't be a fan of Leon though, he looks like a male model with his poncy floppy hairdo.

Retr0gamer

However Ashley isn't bad

bah! leon was the man back in resi 2, best resi character ever!

Oh and damn you all for playing it while im stuck in work

Retr0gamer

Claire was much more annoying. I still can't get her high pitched 'Leon!' out of my head after all these years.

nah. Chris was the man. Leon was just some snot nosed rookie.
he's a hell of a lot less annoying in resi4. wish they'd used Claire or Jill instead though

at the start of the third chapter now, but i've run out of ammo

DingChavez

Well, I got it in smiths for 50E. It was nowhere to be found in my GAME. I thnk I'll be going to smiths from now on...

Bubba

how many chapters are there does anyone know?? ive just started off in the castle!!

Creature

There's five in all iirc. Each consisting of 4 sub chapters.

Captain Trips

Ah for feck's sake. This is ridiculous there are so many goddamn games just out. I'm barely into GT4 and KOTOR2 even with the bugs. Matrix Online is out in 2 weeks and WTF now RE4. WTF like is this a pisstake or something?

Not that I need to compulsively keep buying games but there are too many "must have" oine's out at the moment.

Swifty

At the start of chapter 3 aswell here myself. Oh goodie theres a deranged priest behind it all. The story is so meh.. as expected but the gameplay is pretty damn good. What are ye spending yere pesetas on from the gun selling nacker? I upped my pistol skills a level and have lvl 2 shotgun firepower. Holding back on the rocket launcher till later.

Graphics are so impressive, hard to believe its on the GC. If kevo was reviewing this it's be a big two thumbs up "DEDLY" in the graffex department.

at the start of the 2nd chapter myself (2-1)
i've got my shotty, pistol and rifle all fully upgraded to level 2
gonna start saving for the rpg now.

the boss battles are just plain... wow :eek:

corblimey

What is this resident Evil I keep hearing about :P

Actually, I bought my GC last week especially because I heard so many good things about this game. Seems like its living up to its claims. May have to give the long haired fool in Game Mahon Point another fistful of cash tomorrow. It's a shame because I just know Viewtiful Joe, Animal Crossing, Pikmin 2 and all the others are not going to get a look-in. Also, I have a friend coming over tomorrow who won't leave when he sees it. Maybe I should wait and pick it up second hand in about 6 months time?

j/k

tman

hmmm... its a ****ing great game (looking like an early contender for my game of the year)
but pikmin 2 is an absolute whore of a game to pick back up if you haven't played it in a few weeks.
it'd be fairly criminal to just leave a great game like that uncompleted

elvis2002

anyone seen the resident evil gamecube pack out with the cube and the game?

evad_lhorg

yea every store has them just not a lot of them. its fairly cheap. for 160m you get it and metroid prime 2 and a free memory card in GAME.

and i dont know what yous are all talkin about not bein able to find it. dawson st had TONNES of it

Smellyirishman

Got mine in Game in Liffey Valley, €55.

My GF won't let me play it without her though because she loves the games , but she only loves watching them, she won't play em! :rolleyes:
