i've read a rumor that there's a chance that RE4 will be censored [ i think i read it off of nintendowiifanboy.com ].
anyone know if this has been squashed? cause i really want to get the wii version [ already own the LE cube one ] but i don't want it if it's censored.

People are basing this on the fact that the import/Japanese version is censored when in all honesty Bio Hazard 4/ Resident Evil 4 for Cube and PS2 was censored upon release in Japan yet America got the gorier versions. So I call bullshit on it and it should be as gory (if not more) then the Cube version.
This coupon is still active? AWESOME. I never used it way back when. Now there are bunches of DS games I could get for $23.64.

He's right. RE4 in the US is actually UNCENSORED compared to the Japanese release of BH4. IIRC, the Japanese version never showed any scenes involving Leon getting decapitated by zombies with chainsaws or anything.

Someone doesn't know what the term censored means. And by the looks of all the replies there are a lot of "someones."

How exactly does the PG coupon work? Do you complete the order at 27.xx and then go to PG after?

to all those wandering, the censoring is japan only...and to the others wandering japan censored decapitations and boob jiggle (nothing else!)
but really...if a game was "censored" would you not buy it? I'm pretty sure I still would, its the game[play] your buying not the movie sequences

Question for all you RE4 slappies that may/may have not played either the Gamecube or PS2 version of the game...
With previews on various sites stating that the graphics are equivalent of the Gamecube version's graphics, would I be better off scoring a PS2 version and playing it on my PS3? Basically, the motion control doesn't really matter too much, and for stuff like this may seemed forced to me

THe GC version had BETTER graphics than the PS2? If that is the case, I wonder if the Wii version will be better graphically than the PS2 version upscaled on my PS3 and in HD..

The gamecube version had better textures, lighting, greater geometry on several models, and had all their cutscenes rendered in-engine instead of as video. While the latter three are probably insignificant, lower resolution textures are still going to be lower resolution when upscaled, which, I assume, will make everything look somewhat blurry

i remember reading that you wouldn't be able to shoot heads off, and in doing so the zombie wouldn't die. which makes it sound like the head isn't a weak point anymore.

i see..but even the japanese versions (the censored ones) just cut out most of the gore, im pretty sure headshots and "skillshots" were still ingame
In terms of which console has the best looking RE4: :wii:is slighter better than :gc: which is greater than :ps2:
Also, on a side note: :gc: version was basic (had the story & ada missions)
:ps2: version had a mercenaries campaign along with the gc offerings
:wii: version has everything the ps2 one did with the enhanced graphics (and motion control!)

which kinda defeats the purpose of being able to aim more efficiently ...

If that is the case, I wonder if the Wii version will be better graphically than the PS2 version upscaled on my PS3 and in HD..RE4 was coded specifically for the GC, which was a significantly more powerful console than the PS2. Of course it looks better. I've tried both, and the GC version in 480p looks better than the PS2 version on a PS3 in 1080p.
