Resident Evil 4.... too good
« Reply #60 on: January 06, 2006, 03:15:47 PM »
I finished it a week ago.Like Ashford I am also impressed by the content Capcom has put in it.Though there were a few aspects I didnt like, like things that made it too action packed in a few places, almost everything else was superb.

Personally I bought the PS2 version.Graphics arent as good as the GC.There is a noticable difference but they are still great.Not very far from the GC version.

The music and sound effects were also nice in most parts.Some other parts though werent exactly Resi like.Like in the first encounters in the island section.Music was a bit action like.Reminded me of the Resi movie.
One thing that dissapointed me a bit was the fact that I think Capcom could have added a bit more variety of enemies.But they did a fine job at enjoying fighting those bastards to the last minute.Some enemies though sometimes made me laugh a bit :p


Anyways.The game is full screen now.No more black boarders :)

I unlocked some new modes I havent checked yet.

I enjoyied it a lot.I give it a solid 9 out of 10.

Its bigger, its atmospheric, its different from the other resis, and the target feature gave capcom the chance to add a bit of strategy into fighting those bastards and ofcourse the Bosses ;) (I LOVED THOSE BOSS FIGHTS).

Yeah this was a great game had it for a while now. Me and my buddy finished it about 3 weeks ago. Weak ending though well she did offer to have sex.

Yeah, the ending was sort of funny. I think Leon wants Ada though. I would.

Well, technically I\'d want Jill Valentine but she\'s not in this game.

Yeaaah, maybe we should stop talking about this now...

Pretty challenging, eh?


Challenging? Are you crazy?

I was disappointed by RE4. Decent game, but I miss the survival element. I got sick of shooting everything in sight with your bazillion bullets in Halo.

I think it was challenging too.But only in few areas.Not "survival horror"challenging.Just hard.I didnt like the fact that it was too action packed many times either to tell the truth.

I still believe that the most perfect resis in their time were Resi1/Remake and Resi2.

Resi4 creates some mixed impressions because of Capcoms effort to make it different.It kind of lost in other areas we were familiar with in the previous Resident Evil games.But overally as a game it deserves the credibility.I am sure Capcom will fix some of the issues in Resi5.Like that bouncy like animation on the bad guys when you shot them with weapons like the shotgun that blew them 10 meters away.
Also this was the first Resi I ve ever playied in which I accidentally or effortlessly solved its puzzles.

I agree with you about the game missing the survival horror element compared to previous Resi games.
Capcom almost did the same mistake they did with Dino Crisis2.

the other re survival horror elements came from terrible camera angles :laughing:
Who is this anamoly we call Jumpman? How is he able to do what he does and still survive after years of torment? It seems he feeds on the hate, growing with an intense passion to put unassuming members in their place.

Yeah they did to some extend.Movement was more stiff and constrained thanks to them.I wouldnt call them horrible though :p.They added a cinematic feel.Code Veronica failed a bit on that one though.Perhaps due to lack in detail compared to the prerendered backdrops

But it wasnt just that.The zombies used to move forwards continuously.It was harder to keep them away from you.Ammo and herbs were far limited too.
I also believe that the music and sound effects were better executed.
Fitted perfectly with the theme often reminding of Romero\'s movies.Slow paced.The music should not describe the main character\'s abilities and strength.It should be descriptive of the surroundings, zombified resident,s death, wondering and danger..The protagonist that way feels like a tragic character placed in a world he doesnt belong to(Romero should teach a few lessons to the director of the resident evil movie :p).
It used to be more claustrophobic.Thats the way it should be.

Silent Hill1 and 2 are completely 3D but managed to maintain that feel.

Having cinematic camera angles was one of the charms of the games.

Resident Evil Remake is one of the most perfect games I\'ve ever played, and by far the best iteration of the series.

But hey, I can\'t blame Capcom for updating, but they didn\'t necessarily need to turn it into a blast-a-thon.

Oh, and I appreciated the length of RE4, too.

I have Re remake...I was like "yeah RE is suppose to be good and this is suppose to be the remake of the best one so HOW COULD I GO WRONG"...and I did because it sucked from start to finish. Well disc 2 was decent.

If you played RE4 on hardmode the first time it would of been better probly.

God forbid you don\'t have a machine gun with a gazillion bullets to blast away at everything you see.

Resident Evil 4 never had a sense of urgency. It lacked so many things that made RE great. And all of these things could have been included with the updated gameplay engine, but they chose to make it a mainstream action game instead.

I thought it was cool when u first get the shotgun, and the chainsaw guy chases you up the stairs.

Then there\'s the time you and the illegal are shacked up in the house and get attacked by a trillion zombies.  Blocking the windows with the book cases was a cool effect.

IIRC, blocking the windows with the bookcases ultimate achieved nothing?

That part was fun, btw. Not scary, or tension filled.. just fun.

I rate the Resident Evil\'s as follows:

1.) RE4
2.) RE2
3.) RE Remake
4.) RE3
5.) RE Code Veronica

Outbreak sucked so much that I would not even mention them to be part as the genuine thing... like a knockoff or something.
A word of advice:

In the working world there is only two ships that sink: 1.) a Battle ship, and 2.) Partnership
