word to that!

by the way, some other news about it I failed to mention.
One of the bosses is gigantic, i'm talking bigger than any
RE boss you've ever seen (think ten tyrants AT LEAST) and
this boss can HURL Leon, grab him, even eat him. I hope ALL
the bosses are like that.

Agreed. But they'll both be amazing.

In other news, I picked up Resident Evil Outbreak for PS2
the other day and started a save this evening. Great game. I
don't have online capabilities for PS2, though, I don't like
online gaming. As for single player, well, it's a Resident
Evil game. It plays the same offline as on, except your
allies are a bit stupider.

But on the plus side, you can make them do whatever you
want, no matter how idiotic! That's a plus.

The graphics are fantastic, especially for PS2. Great
looking character models and full 3D backgrounds. And the
opening theme music is one of the best songs in video game
history, hunt it down.

There's fun additions like busting down doors, barring doors
and nailing them shut, enemies that can follow you through
rooms, hiding in lockers, using everyday objects as weapons,
stuff like that.

Offshoot RE games tend to suck, but this one is a keeper.

silent hill is consistently good - sadly, i haven't played
silent hill 3 yet even.

but "the room" concept behind sh4 sounds very unique - can't
wait to see how they pull it off.

by the way, anyone here played anything from the clock tower
series? the SNES original was pretty ahead of its time, but
confusing. the first PSX one was pretty good, but the second
one was laughable. haven't played Clock Tower 3 yet, but i
want to...

HOLY SHIT

Has anyone seen the 8 minute video of Resident Evil 4? This
is the best looking console game I've ever seen. The
character models are better than Half Life 2, and have WAY
more style, and the backgrounds are photorealistic, all at
60fps. I have a newfound respect for the Gamecube hardware.
All you really see is the first wooded area, but it's
stunning. I can't wait to see some architecture.

The combat and movement look superb. Shooting people looks
almost TOO sadistically fun. And the demo is dripping with
atmosphere. Can not wait for this game. Please Lord, no
delays, so setbacks.

where did you see this video?

i agree about gamecube hardware - it's definitely more
powerful than PS2, the only reason not as many people
appreciate it is because many developers have failed to use
it to its full potential. the graphics chip i believe was
developed by ATI, who may be involved in the Xbox
successor....

I got it here, but you have to have IGN Insider to view it.
It just came out last night, and I'm sure someone will get a
free version up eventually, if there's not already.

Looks like the item boxes are gone, thank God... just let me
carry whatever I want, whenever I want, like Silent Hill.
The ink ribbons are still around, which I don't mind.
