i just finished this game today, it's hands down the best game of its generation. the gameplay is just ASTOUNDING, i have never played a game that has been 100% entertainment and fascination all the way through. oh, and the graphics are mesmerizing, i never tire from admiring the scenery. well, until those fucking ganados come moaning, that is. anyone played through it? currently playing it? what are your thoughts? |

I've got one question : will it run on a 2500+, 512MB, rad9600pro on an emulator? Everybody is praising it |

*possible spoilers* I have it for ps2. I wouldn't say its the best game of its generation, but it is good and I really dont like RE games. The characters are pretty dumb though. Like spanish-midget-conquistador man is fucking lame. I thought the boss battle was anti-climatic and too predictable, especially after fighting spanish-midget-conquistador man. And I also got annoyed by the voices of the enemies repeating over and over in the exact same way. But the whole thing is like a giant carnival ride and there are some definately nasty ass fucking enemies in this game. I really enjoyed shitting my pants while fighting the Chief in that burning shed. And the chainsaw guy (and the chainsaw sisters) are just fucking evil and take so many shots to bring down. And you totally pwn the presidents daughter at the end by rejecting her poon. I think I yelled 'oh snap' when that happened. |

Gamecube/PS2 only. *more possible spoilers* stoner: Of course they're dumb, they've got huge fucking demonic insectoid alien pieces of shit living inside of them, on top of that they're being controlled by some religious supervillain nutcase with an even BIGGER one inside of him! I think the enemies worked very well, coming in hordes and quite possibly overwhelming you. Reloading is a bitch. Especially when you're left with only rifle ammo (yeah, it happened :(). Yeah, the last boss was WAY too easy. Ater Krauser, he seemed a bit... out of form. But I was actually a bit relieved by him cutting me some slack. |

I played resident evil 1 and 2, that was good. Maybe I should get this one too my old ps2 is gathering dust. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on an emulator Maybe I should've said via an amulator |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't vouch for the ps2 version, but i hear it's the same only with pre-rendered movie sequences and lower res textures. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those damn amulators. no, you won't be able to emulate these machines very well on the PC yet. if ever. |
||||||||
|

The "if ever" part takes a lot of trustworthiness out of your answer. |

scared the shit out of me, i cant fuck with games like that doom 3 too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It seems that it is well possible on my computer. I'll give it a try when I'm bored to death. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
okay, look at nintendo 64 emulation. cygnus: i really don't think it was THAT scary. a few times, though, the enemies' grunts got to me. condemned for the 360, on the other hand... christ, that is a harsh game. doom 3 was pretty grim as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I take that back. It will run but won't be playable. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Never tried any RE-games. What's it like? Does it involve shooting monsters? FPS? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's third person survival horror. The previous games were mostly about zombies. This new one takes a different route. If you have a Gamecube or PS2 available, I strongly recommend you check it out. |

I'd really like to see another Alone In the Dark game. Number 4 wasn't bad, but it just couldn't keep me interested. |
||||||||
|

i love games that shit me up, i remember playing doom 3, it was a fucking great game, i played the expansion a bit but wasn't very happy, it was better than quake 4 then. some ps2 games can be emulated, after all the ps2 is only 700mhz or so, nothing above 750. pc these days have double/triple that, my pc is 2.0ghz. so its over double, i've seen some games ported from ps2 to the emulator, some of the graphic textures get fucked, but some are playable. ill look into it. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

Oh good, I count on you exsub. Actually PS2 is 300MHz and XBox is in fact PIII 733, but I can believe that the amount of code translating can kill even the latest PC. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well, the Xbox 360 is still struggling with emulation of a lot of Xbox 1 games. And it has VERY optimized software for its hardware. |

Res 4 is my favourite story driven game of all time. People who say "I played 1/2/3/veronica, I'm sick of res games/not going to play this" are really missing out. It's a completely different sort of game. The " The Mercenaries" bonus game is intense to and the only game I've played that is still scary no matter how many times you replay it. That chainsaw sound still sends shivers down my spine. Staz: Agree 100% with what you say about the final boss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
staz well, it's only some xbox games which you can play on xbox 360. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Exactly? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
staz no, not because xbox 360 cannot handle it, it is because they have to recompile it and edit some files, every game that you are able to play on xbox 360 has been modified, in other words.. i doubt you'll be able to play a game that has been fixed for the xbox 360 on the xbox. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exsub, from what i've understood, they're running xbox 1 bios emulation that supports a selection of xbox 1 game architectures. many of the games supported in the backwards compabibility feature are games that share wide architectural similarites with the "main" games they're wanting to feature. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yesh! Resident Evil 4 rocks everyone's socks... I actually already cried of agony whenever i ran into them chainsaw chaps :'( and my head has already been eaten off by them monster things living inside them monks because Leon was obviously TOO FUCKING BUSY RELOADING HIS GUN!! Other then that, this is by far one of the best games i've played ever, and that i will most likely replay after i finished it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
staz the main problem was switching from nvidia to ati, they've had to change the architecture of the games to work specifically on ati. they have to change shaders etc, thats why the old games ( none- unless modified ) will only work on xbox 360 |

Fah is resident evil 4 in 3d or? i played the original ones, fucking legendry!.. loved them, so much atmosphere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RE4 is a third person adventure horror, so yes, it is 3d |
||||||||
|

I know ;))))))))))999999 |

I've already posted lots of times my thoughts about this game, I loved it. The graphics and the new gameplay are amazing. Masterpiece. cygnus: It's not that scary, it's not a normal Resident Evil but totally a new experience. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The ultimate game: President evil: the return of Bush |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's pretty much the best game of the gen. It's the new standard for action/adventure games. Scary thing is, I think the new ''formula'' they just established can still be vastly tweaked and improved, tightened up. RE5 is going to be... oh God *spurt |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BTW ''I told you it was the best'' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this game had me glued to the screen, and i haven't played a game like this in 2 years or so..fucking sweet, big ups to the resident evil team! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, if the graphics live up to the concept trailer, the gameplay manages to improve upon RE4's and it comes a great story to tie it all together, RE5 might just stand as the next benchmark in survival horror. I'm very optimistic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
2 was amazing but i need to check this out. i think ill get a gamecube and a tv this cool? |
||||||||
|
|

|

I'm glad you played with this game mate. If I remember correctly, in the past you had posted something like "I wanna play this". I think that Drunken Mastah should buy this game as well, he still finds the Silent Hill Series better, moreover he also said that Resident Evil doesn't scare him enough as SH does, but well, the quarter episode hasn't been made to scare people but to amaze people with its new and innovative gameplay. |

There is a glitch with Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory on the 360 in vs mode when spies use optic camo they have a bright green glowing aura around them making them more visable than they would be without. Guess that was a coding error. |

The camera/controls on the classic RE was completely frustrating. The over the shoulder third person camera on RE4 is awesome. After playing through RE4 I went back and tried to play the remake of the original and RE0 for Gamecube and couldn't get into them because I was so spoiled by RE4. There is something that could be neat about the fixed "surveilance" camera of the classic games because it does heighten certain creepiness aspects and maybe it would be cool it was something that could be toggled on/off, but by itself the frustrations outweigh the charms. |

I'm more of a PC gamer but I bought a PS2 just to play Shadow of the Colossus and Ico. A couple of questions: 1) How does it compare quality wise to SOTC? 2) Is the PS2 version inferior to the Gamecube version, is it worth it to buy a Gamecube just for this game? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

The Gamecube version looks prettier, basically. The gameplay remains unchanged, although the PS2 version comes with a few bonus modes as a tack-on since it came out a lot later. It also lags a bit, remember that the hardware is being thoroughly squeezed for this game! I haven't tried SOTC, although it looks absolutely fantastic. I think there's a distinct difference of "feel" between those two games, since SOTC bases itself more on exploration and the boss battle puzzles. RE4 is much more action oriented and linear, but this works massively to its advantage. These games just fall in their separate ballparks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably best game I played on my Nintendo Gamecube |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, and there are rumors about a PC version of RE4... Play.com even has it listed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know how one could compare RE4 and SOTC. I spent about a minute trying to think of a way, but I can't. Regardless, they're both absolute must-haves, two of the defining games of 2005. |

I'm playing the Mercenaries right now, holy shit - this is intense! I've managed to unlock every character, but I'm struggling a bit trying to unlock the handcannon... Got 58.000 on my best run as Leon on Level 1, bit of a wonder. Krauser's my favorite merc though, he's just relentless with that arm... Anyone managed to unlock everything, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
About the Mercenaries, I've conquered all characters but I still haven't got the Handcannon because it's really hard to get five stars for each level, I believe that I have got 5 stars in the village with Leon and Wesker and in the church with Hunk and Ada. Inside the quarter level of the Mercenaries there is also a maniac with a double chainsaw, it scares me a lot. In the real story instead I bought the Chicago Typewritter, it's fucking powerful, infact this weapon is also capable to kill those regenerators full of Plagas with few shots. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just got 5 stars with Krauser in the village... first 5 star ever, heh, about 70000 points. I love Krauser, I wish I could just do the 5 star thing with him alone and not bother with the other characters, that bow of his packs a fucking punch. I'm really good at getting in headshots now, so it's just a cavalcade of exploding noggins everywhere I go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Leon, the shoutgun still is my fave weapon ever. I used to kill like 5 Ganados at time with it. I suck to use Ada, I still don't know how I could get 5 stars with her. I really liked the part that Krauser has in the game, especially when he fights with his amazing knife. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the shoutgun, it's much easier to yell at people to kill them off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
2) Is the PS2 version inferior to the Gamecube version, is it worth it to buy a Gamecube just for this game? I bought a GC just to play this game and didn't regret it. |
