For me at least. I spent my overtime money this week on two titles I\'d missed. Resident Evil 4 and Donkey Konga.
I haven\'t had a new Cube game (Or PS2 for that matter) in a long time, so this will be a nice change of pace.
If I ever grab God of War on PS2 I\'ll be spreading the love around and can wait it out for Zelda and maybe a couple others.

That\'s cool. I finally beat RE4 the other day. Just when you think it\'s over there\'s more... and more..
I\'d like to try DK when I get the chance. GoW too, just waiting for it to get to greatest hits status. :)
-
The last GCN game I got was Donkey Konga 2.
It\'s really okay that the well ran mostly dry for most of Q1/Q2.. because I\'m behind on my gaming anyway. I\'m currently working on PoP2:WW which I bought in November.. then on to Jade Empire..
-
I feel odd, as a Capcom whore, I never did even buy Resident Evil 4. I played it at Capcom\'s, was not impressed and never bothered to give it a second thought.
-
I\'m surprised you didn\'t try the game LIC.
They kinda went from Survival horror to action packed horror with RE 4 but it\'s a great game.Plus it has some good replay value(something I always look for in a game)
You can unlock Asignment Ada,Mercenaries and ofcourse you can try out other guns.

When a game scores a 9.6 average out of dozens of reviews it must be doing something right.
Oh well,I hope you try the game.
Cheers.

Resident Evil 4 is a fine action game.
But REmake is still the finest in the series.

...followed by CV.
;)
-
CV sucked
-
What CV had going for it is length.
For example, RE2 is fantastic but I beat it in around 4-5 hours and I\'m slow with titles like this. I finished RE1 for the \'Cube in about 18, first time around.. but I got stuck a couple of times..
CV is just plain long. 2 or 3 different "chapters".. it\'s a good 10-hour game at the least. Pretty weak in content compared to RE1.. but eh..

i hated that game...i only played it once to see what happens at the end, but after that..i got rid of it...best res evil for me since i haven\'t played remake or 4 is part 2....it was pretty slick how the story changed slightly depending on who\'s story you popped in first...me personally i did claire\'s story first....her story was fleshed out a little bit better than if you started hers after leon\'s story...
-
Yeah really added replay value to it. :)
heh the only reason I finished CV was because I cant stand having unfinished games in my collection.Especially if its a Resi game.It doesnt feel right.
I enjoyied 1 and 2 more than any Resi I ve playied so far(I didnt play the remake or 4 unfortunately though).
Capcom over did it in CV to make it fresh but at the end it felt awekward.Voice acting was one of the worst I ve ever heard, some characters were annoying, some scenes were stupid, there werent any new interesting monsters and music and atmosphere sucked big time.Where previous Resis had the depth of a horror terryfing movie CV had the depth of a low budget series.
-
CV wasn\'t bad. But I remember getting into big arguements as to why I disliked it so much. I can\'t remember what those arguements are any more.
Uni, you get your hands on a GameCube somehow and play REmake. Trust me, you won\'t regret it. :)
-
REmake = RE0 stateside?
I like #4 the best. #2 second.

I want badly to try it.But no cash.If I find a job this summer I am planning to get it ;)
-
Resident Evil 4 also has some cheesy dialogue,as to the point that you think "This sounds like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie".
About the length of the game:I finished my first run through in 20:10 and I\'ve played hours of mercenaries and Assignement Ada so I guess it\'s about 30 hours total.
I still have to beat Pro mode and unlock the handcannon.
Enough said.
-
i bought a gamecube for my son a couple of years back..and i was gravely tempted to buy that remake...just couldn\'t see myself buyin the game then takin the game out of his room around 12:00 midnight just to play it..:p..maybe they\'ll make remake for ps3...i\'m currently waitin\' for part 4 on the ps2, and even tho it\'s graphically inferior to tha gamecube version, overall hopefully the port won\'t be that crappy....
-
I ve heard that the difference is small.

Nah they\'re talking about the enhance remake of Resident Evil 1.
Zero is another game where you control two characters.
Then there\'s the recently released 4.

clips,
If you want to know more about the Playstation 2 version of RE4 compared to the Gamecube version read the other thread I created.
http://www.psx2central.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=36569
That\'s right,I just linked to my OWN thread.
*sits in corner feeling important*
:fro:
-
attention seeker :p
-
Nobody\'s brought up Zero in relation to the other games yet.
Probably.. because it lies basically in the middle of the pack..
-
No, its cause Zero sucked...
-
Here\'s how I rank them.
Resident Evil
Resident Evil : Rebirth
Resident Evil : Code Veronica
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil: Zero
Yes, Zero was complete and total crap. On the other hand, Rebirth and Code Veronica was both masterpieces. I went through each one of those games numerous times. I remember buying both on release day and being amazed, where as when I got RE:0 on release day, I was annoyed. I never even bothered finishing it.
-
wow LIC i haven\'t played part 4, but you ranked res evil 3 over 4? i\'ve played 3 and didn\'t think it was bad either, but i\'ve seen alot of reviews for part 4 which would seem that it was waaaay better than 3...
-
LIC hasn\'t played RE 4(wich is probably why he ranked it so low)
Ranking something that you haven\'t played doesn\'t make much sense to me but hey........whatever floats your boat.
Anyway,the reason why I joined this thread is to convince LIC to play it.
Play it,LIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or else I\'ll be forced to come to your house and ask you nicely *winkwink*

There\'s nothing wrong with Resident Evil 3.. I thought it got an undeserved Rep. It\'s atmosphere was much better than RE2.. And was slightly more difficult IIRC. It was just the same old thing. And without the really cool idea of "Play through what Leon did during this time period/play through what Claire did during this time period", which to me was always the most interesting aspect of RE2.. why they removed it I\'ll never know..
RE4 was kind of odd. They hyped it up as being so different from the rest of the series, and in some ways it is, and others it isn\'t. Essentially it\'s the previous Resident Evil games with a non-fixed camera, and more action and shooting than you thought they could possibly cram into an action game. The biggest problem is that there is no level of suspense, due to having access to so much ammunition it\'s ridiculous.
Judging it off one play probably isn\'t fair LICky, as you\'d be comparing it to previous RE games, which it might not fully resemble. But I can assure you there are some definate high points in the game. Still might not be your thing, but, whatever..

BTW
If you go to the link I posted earlier on gamerankings,then to screenshots and then to the final page you see all these locations(levels) and creatures that didn\'t make it in RE4.
What I heard was that the creator of RE4 had a whole scenario played out.You were in a house,very creepy atmosphere,it\'s dark.He actually completed that and then he threw it ALL overboard to make the RE4 that we now all know and love.
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpagesscreens/535840.asp?pagenum=4
These are all screens of locations that aren\'t in RE4
There\'s even a movie over at gametrailers where you can see Leon walking through a dark corridor and he gets ravished by a shadow.
It\'s amazing to see that he completed the game and then COMPLETELY threw it overboard to go in a whole other direction.
The movie I\'m talking about is here:
http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1099
It\'s trailer 4.
-
Sorry, but the point of Resident Evil is closed in spaces, limited ammo and zombies...........
Does RE4 have those aspects? From the playtime I had, it didn\'t.
-
Well, it has "zombies" and a few tight areas.
It\'s not the same kind of game. Beautiful in its own right, highly polished.. but it\'s not easy to compare.
If I had to rank the RE\'s to this point, RE4 would be right up there with RE1 (GCN) but like I said.. it\'s hard to say either is 100% better than the other because they do different things well.
The gameplay in RE4 is hands-down better. It has a few "RE-style" puzzles but the action is far more enjoyable. On the other hand, RE1 is definitely spookier and had more enjoyable characters IMO.
Of course, who couldn\'t love the STARS staff? :)
-
It seems me and LIC are the only ones who loved CV...
That must mean we\'re right and everyone else is wrong...
-
Actually the exact opposite
-
Re:4 is far scarier than the original RE...I mean...the zombies just won\'t leave you the fuck alone.
-
I don\'t think RE4 was scarrier, but it had a really great story line and felt like a serious adventure in comparison.
I rate the RE\'s as follows:
RE1
RE2
RE4
RE3
RECV
RE Zero (Only thing it explained is how Rebecca got involved)
-
What\'s scary about RE4?
Oh ohhh! I think there are zombies in this area! Good thing I have 300,000 shells available for my shotgun!!
-
Good thing I have 300,000 shells available for my shotgun!!
That sort of takes out the intense feeling of the game. I like the older Resident Evil games where you had to get halfway across the city with 2 freakin\' bullets.

dont play the game on the easiest settings u babies
