This game is pure, awesomeness. Capcom has done a fine job "reworking" the series. Only problem is its just not scary... I hope that changes.
And that stupid "Making of DVD" is only 10 minutes long...

You know what I hate about RE? It's something that has kept me away from the series and I want to like RE I really do. I Hate that I can't shoot and walk at the same time. Can you shoot and walk in this game? If so, I'm going out to get it tomorrow!
Nope, but you can aim now. The whole fully 3D thing is really what makes the game so much better. Aiming and looking as well as just moving arround is so much easier... but thats why I think its less scary. No more surprise enemies as your field of view extends beyond the room your in.
...but don't let that stop you from picking it up. Using your weapons is so much easier.

Everything about this game is better than any other RE in the series. I don't even feel like typing it all out...I can't find anything I don't like about this game. As far as the scare factor goes, I'll take the creapy action based battles of RE4 over the cheap scares and slow ass fights of the rest of the series any day.
I Called EB over the phone earlier today and they said they would sell me a copy of RE 4 ..but didn't have many left.
Before I went to that particular store tonight I called back and they said they had none left..(no biggie)
So,when I got there I noticed they had a ton of them (regular copies)but,I decided not to ask...
I went upstairs to Gamestop and they had none left..
Hit a few Music stores on my travels in the Mall and they had nothing(not in yet)
My last resort: was Software Etc near the Food Court that I don't go in much.
They sold me the Special Edition RE 4 with no questions asked....Freaken sweet!!
File me under the "I want to like Resident Evil, but I don't" folder as well. I'll definitely be renting this title, and I have high hopes for it as it seems like it may be fixing alot of the things wrong (imo) with the series...plus my cube could use a good dusting.
Yeah, me too. But I was watching my brother play 4 today, and It looked nothing short of incredible. I'll have to give it a go sooner or later. Do you still have to "steer" your guy? I just can't get used to that.File me under the "I want to like Resident Evil, but I don't" folder as well

Well, I've played a shitload of this game today, and, just wow. This game is absolutely incredible.
Granted, I've always loved the RE games, but this game is so different from the past RE games, yet retains what we love. But damn, nothing beats taking on 20 guys, from within a house, with a TMP. Damn, this game is just great.
I also got RE4 today and after a couple hours I agree, this game ROCKS!
I played the original RE way back in the day and haven't touched another RE game since then. RE4 feels very familiar yet it's very fresh and easy to "pick up and play." I like the way Capcom did the third person perspective yet the game isn't like every other third person shooter game. It still feels very "RE" but with much more freedom and a camera view that is near perfect in the context the RE style of gameplay but nothing like the old fixed camera games.
I can see how some would argue that you can't straffe, or run and shoot and jump all about the place but then wouldn't it just be another third person shooter with an RE brand if it had that much freedom?
After spending time playing with Wind Waker, Ratchet & Clank UYA and GTA:SA its hard to give up some of that third person freedom I've grown accustomed to by playing these other games but RE4 easily holds it's own against these other heavy weights.
I'd like to add that while RE4 is an awesome action game, it lacks in the horror aspect of survival horror. Making a hero so powerful always detracts from the scariness of a game. Take, for example, the suffering.
Right now RE 4 is GC only, right? Are'nt there PS2 and XBox ports in the works?

mh i played the trial version i won in the "screenshot" contest here on the board and although atmosphere and graphics are brilliant i have problems with this one, imho the camera just plain sucks, i can't really look around corners, i don't see my enemies and if i'd play without sound i'd have no chance at all to realize someone is right in front of me sometimes
additionally, the controls just don't work for me, i don't know why, but they do. i'm pretty sure i'd love the game with a slightly better camera and a mouse to play it but this way it's not for me right now, maybe the final game has more control options to make them work for me....

I just got home from Gamestop, where I got the CE RE4 and Suikoden IV. I haven't played eithr one yet, but I'm gonna start Suikoden IV first.
I'm gonna put RE4 just to test it out and make sure it works, but it'll probably be a week or so before I actually begin to play it.

I don't think it's THAT bad, but my god, can you get flanked so easily. They really needed to add a 'look left/right' command somewhere. I mean, it's not far fetched. (Unless Leon doesn't have a neck)Originally Posted by hydr0x
So far so good, but right now.. it's not RE. Doesn't mean it's bad, hell, I think I like it better, but it's not the same much at all.

The game changed a bit since the Trial came out. The camera is now a bit more automatic, but you also get better contol over it in the final version. Trial Version just lel you move up or down one view... you can look left, right, up, down all in analog.Originally Posted by hydr0x
They took the binoculars away too... I guess you don't really need them, but it would be nice to look for special items at a safe distance.
The Knife is now an always eqipped item too, doesn't take any space in your attache case. Hold L to bring it out... Glad they did this, I couldn't stand constantly eqipping the knife just to break crates, don't want to waste any ammo on those.
Horror Element comes back too, at night
