Got to play Resident Evil 4.

i went to gamestop to buy nfsu2 and saw a bunch of RE4 preview discs on the shelf behind the guy which said playable demo on it. the guy said you get one when you pre-order the game from them. i put $5 down for it and when i got home I got into the demo for a minute, and i gotta say, it's awesome. your gun has a little red targeting laser on it which lets you pinpoint exactly where you wanna shoot the bad guy(not zombies). if you hit him in the shoulder he;ll react appropriately by lurching backwards, the graphics are nuts and you can interact with a lot of shit. you can jump out of windows and shit, it's pretty nice. the controls are still awkward but i had fun. i'm definitely getting this game when it comes out and they let you play for a pretty fair amount of time i suppose, i got killed before the end. if you like Resident Evil, you'll like this game.

thats cool, when will the full game be out

^january 11th.

Is it like resident evil, the story, monsters ,etc the same?

I got to play the demo at my local eb. Its awesome. You get to play the same demo that they had at E3. You have to get used to the new aiming(at least I had to) because i got my ass kicked. They grab you with one hand if they dont have a weapon and body slam you. after having that done to you like 3 times you die. It takes more skill for this game. Its great but damn there is a lot of enemies. I got to the town and went out on the roof and the enemies never stopped coming. and they DONT DIE!! I shot like 5 at once at point blank range with the shotgun and they still came after me. The demo they had also had the new metroid and a few others. Ill see if i can get one of those.
The game is much better than i thought because i really didnt get much into the other Resident evil games. Im considering about getting this one.

Is it like resident evil, the story, monsters ,etc the same?
no it's all pretty different, but it still feels like resident evil, you're given a different view of the character than in the other RE's, the cutscene's are really good looking. they're not zombies in this game, they don't really explain what's going on too well in the demo, all they say is that it's 6 years after the 1st RE, in some other country. the inventory screen and weapon control is the same as the other games, accept you can free aim so you can specifically target things instead of just shooting toward them like in the other games and you get to use grenades in this one.

i'm really big into the RE franchise, i've been playing them since the first resident evil debuted on the Sega Saturn. this seems like it's going to be good. if you liked Nintendo's remake of the first RE(which i think is the best installment in the series to date), this one plays very similar to that.

What system is it on?

Its on gamecube, Ive been a fan but I thought the RE ser was still on ps2. So I bought one and found out its on gamecube now. Im kinda dissapointed if they dont keep umbrella and all that in this game.

Looks like Gamecube is the system to get now, they have remakes of Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil, some of the best videogames in history

That's some stupid shit right there. I sure as hell am not buying a gamecube to play the game. They should never have sold the rights to Nintendo, especially since Nintendo does shitty anyway compared to PS2 and Xbox. Bastards.

Hell yes, everyone who has a ps2 will get Resident evil 4. They decided to put the game on the ps2 sense the sales for RE:remake,RE:0, and the ports didnt sell good.I was also pissed that gamecube got the remake of metal gear solid.... I think ps2 graphics looked better then twin snakes thoe. ( mind all those mistakes I haft to go right at this moment)

it's not coming out for ps2 until the end of 05.

Yah, I just found that one out. I think by then Ill just pick up a used gamecube and get RE:0,RE:1,RE:4 and metal gear solid. :banghead: O and I found out this one is still the same story it gives info on why umbrella is gone and why there are new BOWs. Wesker has alot to do with this one I think.

that's the only reason I bought a gamecube. I wanted to get all the RE's on one system.

Yah, I heard its hard to get the remake and 0 thoe now. I saw 0 but Im gonna haft to wait for my birthday orget a job before i can pick of the cube and those games.

yeah, i had to buy a preowned version of the remake. i got no box, no instructions.

so did anyone else go out and pick this one up? i played it for a good 4-5 hours the first night. the game is better than i had expected. i actualy already beat it, but not because it's too short or easy, it's cuz i have obsessive complusive issues when it comes to playing Resident Evil games :), i put in 20 hours in 3-4 sittings and beat it.
even if you didn't like the other RE games or liked 'em just a little i think most people can really appreciate how awesome this game is. Sick graphics, awesome FMV's, eerie soundtrack, lots of weapons and customization and lots of gore.
If you know RE then you know how when the main character dies they give you a little fatality kinda thing where your head gets chopped off or you get impaled or something, this game has some of the goriest nastiest scenes in it, some bug spit acid in my face and they show you a nice close-up of the inside of your characters face after his skin gets eaten away. it's nuts. I rank it up with GTA:SA, and Halo as far as how much fun it was to play.

I want to play RE4 so bad, but unfortunatly I have the only console that the game won't come out for: Xbox! Capcom really gets me angry with not supporting the Xbox. They say it is because the games they released on the Xbox didn't sell well, but they didn't sell well because they only released crappy games. Resident Evil 4 would sell just as good on Xbox as either of the other consoles.

maybe your local game place rents out systems.
IMO, RE-0, the remake of #1, and part 4 are worth buying a gc to play.

I picked it up yesterday, Im only at the part were you fight that big troll like thing? Its grey and huge...I havn't played it much yet, But it is an incridible game

Could anyone explain how the story goes with 1,2,3?

Could anyone explain how the story goes with 1,2,3?
You're best off just playing them, honestly. I'm sure someone could tell you the story, but it wouldn't be as good as it could if you would just play the games. Number 2 is pretty easy, and 1 isn't bad either. 3 was a pain in the ass for me, but that's just me.

Just take a good long weekend (or week if you've got nothing else to do) and rent 1-3 and play em. They're worth it.

he's right. the whole exciting part of the game is you have no idea what's going on, it's how it's supposed to be. what can be said is that it's 6 years after part 2, you're Leon Kennedy(the dude from part 2) and you're looking for the presidents daughter who's been kidnapped. while there, you get attacked by some guy and he reminds you of the zombies from the other RE's, but he's not one, and from there the story expands.

All I know is that when this game comes out on PS2 I am buying it. No questions asked.

RE4 looks awesome, IGN gave it a pretty high rating too.. can't wait to get back to work in the summer, then I can finally afford games again. The new Zelda thats coming out for gamecube looks AMAZING.... Wind Waker was a great game too.

I cant wait for it to come out on the ps2. Ive beaten all the storyline RE games so far. My favorites are 2 and Code Veronica.

Yah I know everything about resident evil, its just Ive only owned a ps1,ps2,n64 so I cant get this game to find out what happen to umbrella.
