Been a while since I logged into Xltronic, or even stepped outside, or changed my shirt, I've been consumed. What do you think about this game? If you don't have a Gamecube, you should really sell your CDs to buy one for this. It's a gauntlet of terror, daddy-o. Probably the most nerve wracking game experience I've ever had, I can't get over how relentless and intimidating it is. I'm also finding it VERY difficult and tough to survive more than two consecutive rooms, but then, I suck. It's not perfect and I still like Silent Hill 2 more, survival-horror-wise. RE4's story, acting and characters is still bad comedy of the highest order (but we all knew that going in). Frankly I hate that, especially now because the rest of the game took such giant leaps. The contrast is greater than ever and the cut scenes and script are so regrettable. In-game, the atmosphere and mood is intoxicating, though. That's what counts. So the survival horror genre still has a long way to go. Meld RE4s control and mechanics with Silent Hill's story and soul, and you win. Overall this game is killer, though. It's physically tiring to play. |

I've been meaning to rent that. It's about time I dust off my gamecube and get some use out of it. |

i played it in an electronics shop in the mall...i wanted to plop down the cash just to play that game and all of the remakes and sequals exclusive to game cube.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, the Resident Evil 1 REmake was the reason I bought the Gamecube in the first place. That and Resident Evil Zero. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard there were no zombies in the new one, was that rumor true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I thought those were the rumours about Silent Hill 4, at the time. |
||||||||
|

what, no analord talking here? |

|

not funny. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Sorta yeah. There are no ''traditional'' zombies. No undead.You fight people that are somewhat intelligent but very very insane. They can speak, have motor skills, worktogether, etc. It's creepy in it's own way. These people don't give a fuck, are you to get you, and that's damnscary. |

IT'S DAMNSCARY!! DAMNSCARY I TELL YA! |

|
|
zombies scare me too much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sort of miss zombies, actually. But this game is a helluva lot scarier than the other REs, so they must be doing something right. Qaaurter- my post up there was a fucking trainwreck. I don't know what went wrong. :_-( I blame stress. The sound of a chainsaw revving up behind you in surround sound sparks peeing of pants. |

why do they always give the male characters female haircuts |
||||||||

|

To be fair, only a dyke would have a 'do like that. Leon likes girls, don't fret. |
||||||||
|
|

|

not got a manhunt story line has it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i heard or read in a game magazine that capcom is planning to release RE4 for PS2 in the future...i cannot wait. Ophecks, whats the story with the game? From what i know leon is sent to find the presidents daughter, whats the deal with the lack of zombies? Just curious, can't wait to play this!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, only a dyke. certainly not a man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why are all the people crraazzzzyy...and furthermore why do they put rice sacks on their heads |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they value their anonimity? |
||||||||
|
|

stops spots |

Among girls, I mean. Even though Leon has girly hair, it's a pretty butch 'do. So it's not like he's a girly girl. Leon's masculine no matter how you slice it, even when citing the girl hair. Crimson- Leon has been sent to rescue the President's daughter. They got a lead that she was seen around this village. So he goes there and everybody there tries to kill him, and all points of egress are blocked off. Then terrible things start happening and you have to fuck up a lot of shit. The story isn't much to speak of, anyway. It's typical infect/insane/kill kill stuff. It matters not, the game is like nothing else. Brutal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in NO way is the 'do butch. it's something an 11-year-old girl in a spunky Disney film from the middle-'80s would have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Spunky, loutl. We're going to have to agree to disagree. Maybe Canada and Da Nedderlands have different ideas about these issues. So has anyone played it yet? I saw today that the PAL release has some awesome artwork (now my desktop) compared to the tacky crap on our North American release. You people usually get the shaft, but not this time. |

I just traded my ps2 for my friend's gamecube and have been playing this game. Its kinda weird seeing the hero get his head cut off with a chainsaw, makes me feel funny. So yeah I feel kinda sick whenever I hear the chainsaw guy. They did a good job in designing him. |
||||||||

i felt very disturbed the first time leon's head got unceremoniously cut off. this is the first game i've played where it actually feels like you can die, and that's probably the most frightening aspect to me. i'm pretty late to the party since i hooked up my xbox with xbox live during christmas, and have just been playing online games until recently, but i'd rather be fashionably late than not play this masterpiece at all. it's currently my favourite game ever, or at the very least tied with street fighter 3 third strike. i agree with most of what ophecks has said but i have to disagree with him on the story. it's your typical resident evil plot (in its own way) but it's executed pretty well, and the voice acting is surprisingly good. not impressive by any stretch of the imagination, which i believe is due to the script itself, but good. the president's daughter has been kidnapped by insane spaniards. are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president's daughter? |
||||||||

i've never been a fan of the whole resident Evil thing... The game play is furtstrating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is completely different in almost every way: the perspective, the combat (now intuitive), the puzzles (barely any, and the ones there you can figure out quickly), the saving (now unlimited), the amount of health and ammo (now abundant), a store to purchase new weapons and upgrades among other things, and so on. within five minutes you completely forget you're playing a resident evil game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that may make it sound easy, but it's really not. i've died approximately thirty times so far but it has never felt frustrating in the least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't get into RE4. Capcom's point was to make you so terrified and deathly afraid that it works almost too much on me. I can't get into it, it makes me feel terrified and scared. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ophecks I have as soon as ended resident evil 4 it is one of the best games that I have never played while still alive mine. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
the new enemies cannot themselves be compared to the zombie, are much stronger and pitiless. |

I am Italian but I have ordered it from the America why I was I stew to wait for...: -) |

the version on playstation 2 (end 2005) council to nobody will exit to aim not to buy it, boys.... RE4 buys it to you on the game cube, graphics much better. ; -) |

Yes, the most stressful games I've played. You really don't want to die in it. It is fantastic though. They have kept the best aspects of Resident Evil, whilst stripping away everything that was annoying about it. Probably the best "storyline" (as opposed to arcade/GTA style "messing about") lead game I've ever played. |

oh my god. scary game on gamecube. |
||||||||
|
|

;-) |

It didn't seem very "creepy" to me. It's a lot of fun, however. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it definitely wasn't very creepy. I'm getting really tired of the B movie presentation and story, that's actually what kills the ''scary'' for me. But the game is so much fun and insanely kinetic. I wasn't haunted or scared like I am by a Silent Hill game, but it delivers a different sort of poopy pants fear. |

on getting scared/freaked out by a game - I had that with the old orphanage/sanatorium in Thief 3. fuck that part freaked me out. I was disappointed when the "electricuted zombie children" showed up - that made it less scary. but then you got the whole thing with going into the past of that place. that was great, again. :) |
||||||||

i remember being scared playing Jurassic park on the SNES, fucking raptor's always creeping up on you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got pretty edgy while playing "alien vs. predator 2", I can tell you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shalebridge Cradle was fucking AWESOME, although I think it went on way too long with that tedious fetch quest. But the atmosphere was great. I thought the captain's house was kind of creepy too for some reason, and the zombie boat. Thief 3 was one of the most underrated games of two thousand and four. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was it an improvement on the first two? i wasn't too keen on the original thief or it's sequel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still think the story of "Thief 2" is the best. I really liked that one. the robots in that one creeped me out more than anything. the story in "Thief 3" is okay, the ending isn't very good. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, thinking about it, when i played thief it was on a very shit pc - imagine hiding when you've got parkinsons, that's how bad it was. i might borrow thief 2 off a mate, and give it a go. that'll keep me from doing all my assignments :) |
||||||||

that's the spirit. :) |
