Title: RE4 News...
Post by: Mr. Kennedy on February 13, 2001, 07:49:14 PM
Capcom (those crazy people) are at it again with Resident Evil 4 for the Playstation 2. Not that much is known about Resident Evil 4, apart from a few storyline hints and character descriptions. The graphics will obviously be a lot better, and even better than Resident Evil Code Veronica for the Dreamcast. Also the sound will be perfect (hopefully), as with the music and it isn\'t that unbelievable that the length of the game will be longer - I wasn\'t satisfied with the length of Code Veronica so Capcom better make this one around 20 hours.

The first fact that we know is that it is from an Umbrella Agent\'s point of view, or you can control a man named Mark Halten, a researcher at the Umbrella base. "Umbrella base?" I hear you say. Well we\'ve been told that you play as an Umbrella agent, which could mean Hunk, and after the events of Resident Evil 3 you land on a secret Umbrella base. A virus (most likely the T-virus, as I see very little point in Capcom creating a new virus) spreads and the infected researchers at the base are sent to cells. That is when you choose between the Umbrella agent and Mark Halten.

The game is obviously NOT set in Raccoon City, because if you have played Resident Evil 3 you\'ll know that it no longer exists, likewise with the Antarctic Base, in Resident Evil Code Veronica, for the same reason. The location of Resident Evil 4 is still unknown as with a lot of other details.

As a fellow Resident Evil fan, I would like to know a lot of things, like what happened to Rebecca for example, and hopefully most will be answered with this sequel.

More information will come on this title as/ when it happens.

Sure you were - yea i liek the plots that RE offers and i bet that this will be pretty cool especially from a Umbrella agents POV - like tha way that will out a twist on the story

RE:Code Veronica Complete X is looking better and also has lots of features for the new PS2 version that will help with the story from what i read.
Title: Unfortuenetly, it will not be from Umbrella\'s point of view anymore.

It\'s rumoured that the next Resident Evil game for PS2 puts you in control of employees of Umbrella Corp, to see the virus development from their perspective. Is this true?

It might be fun to have someone from Umbrella as the main character. If we focus on S.T.A.R.S. as usual, justice is always behind them. S.T.A.R.S. agents have to help-they must \'act good\' and cooperation. But since then I\'ve scrapped the Umbrella idea.


So, no more Umbrella point of view. Now, who would it be? Don\'t know. Still, since I\'m a big fan of Resident Evil, I can\'t wait to see how this game turns out to be.

what i\'m still trying to figure out is ...

how come there was that one zombie in res evil 1 that opened up that door leading to the basement, when none of the other zombies could ?

was he somehow super smart compared to all the others ? i think this is a question that will never be answered.

Thanks for the info.The story could be a tie-in with the Resident Evil book featuring Rebecca\'s story after the RE1.

I went digging and I couldnt find anything about a Silent Hill 2 release date. Every place just has Q3 or something like that. When exactly is Q3?. I know it means quarter 3 of the year but I don\'t know exactly when it is, but I bet it\'s around christmas. Man, I can\'t wait for Silent Hill 2. I\'m looking forward to that even more than MGS2.
