In Resident Evil 4 players are reacquainted with Leon S. Kennedy, Raccoon City Police Department’s idealistic rookie cop from Resident Evil 2. It has been six years since the destruction of Raccoon City and in that time, the U.S. government has been able to destroy the nefarious Umbrella Corporation. Fast forward to 2004 and players rejoin Leon, who is now a U.S. agent with a top-secret mission. He has been tasked to look into the abduction of the President’s daughter and his investigation has led him to a mysterious location in Europe. As Leon encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind everything.

I just read the IGN review...holy crap. Thanks god for Gamerushs trade 3 get one new for $30 :)

and to think, except for 4, i probably would agree with him. Officially.

I just got the bonus DVD from eb, I am going to go watch it. I'll post impressions later

[Trakan]

:applause:

Nice job tenzor. I hope everyone posts here instead of making a bunch of topics.

[ananag112]

Thanks for creating this topic tenzor. I am a huge Resident Evil fan myself and I have spent a ton of money on this game already. I caanot wait to get it. I will be playing it all through my MLK long weekend. IGN said that if t was released last year, it cold have gotten GOTY (the guy reviewing said he would vote for it anyway). I think that is pretty sweet.

I stil have my doubts about this game though. I fear that it won't quite fell like a Residnet Evil game. It seems way too "actiony" for me. I am also scared about the plot; no Umbrella? Anyway, all will be answered come January 11th.

[tenzor]

I just finished watching the making of DVD. The DVD is 10 minutes and 33 seconds long, and basically starts out with Leon telling the story about what he is doing in Europe. It then cuts to a quick gameplay video showing off some clips in RE4. Following that the dvd takes you to Capcom's office where the makers of the game answer questions about Resident Evil. The questions are answered in japanese, but there is a english translator to explain everything. Not a bad DVD, but I wished Capcom would've done a DVD explaining the past Resident Evil and lead up to explaining how they made Resident Evil 4. That way the DVD would be at least 30 minutes and more enjoyable. If anyone is wondering the bonus DVD just comes in a jewel case, with no cover insert so the CD is shown. There is art on the back of the jewel case and behind the cd so its not just a blank case.

Hehe, looks like the Gradius V DVD is still the undisputed king of pre-order/extra DVDs

And whats up with that chainsaw controller? How am I supposed to use that damn thing? and why is it going to make chainsaw sounds when I'm using a gun or crowbar?

Yeah I wondered about that also. Just a collectors item basically, it might be too hard to play with. There is a chainsaw guy in the game, so they are making the controller to resemble him I guess.

[ananag112]

You know what makes me happy? Its when I see stuff like this:

IGN had nothing nothing but kind words to say about Resident Evil 4. IGN said, if RE4 was released in 2004, it could have taken Game of the Year. IGN gave it a 9.8/10. GameSpy gave it a 5/5, and GMR gave it a 10/10. This is going to be one of the best, if not the best rated GameCube game ever. Usually we get all the good games towards the end of the year, but it seems that we will be getting AAA games all year round. This year will be very interesting as Resident Evil 4 is just one of the many AAA games to come our way this year on the Cube. We still can look forward to the new Star Fox game, the new Kirby game, Mario Baseball, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, and of course the juggernaut, the new Zelda. We will also be getting many other quality games as well. Looks like this will be the year of the Cube.

Ya know what, you just increased the sales of RE4 by 1. You know why? Because I wasn't planning on getting it. Not anytime soon, anyways. But after seeing those review scores, i'd be a fool not to get the game the day it comes out.

Ah, the power of internet forums (this was the Nintendo one btw).

[guyver2077]

free overnight dammit...cmon gamestop...

[ananag112]

I couldn't wait any longer, so I went to BestBuy and looked through the strategy guide, and now I have even more anticipation for this games. I was getting scared that this game wouln't be too scary, but some of the monsters are just Sillent Hill esque in a good way. There were no plot spoilers, but I did get to see the bosses and creatures. This game is going to be mad scary. Remember to play this game in the dark.

[cthcky33]

that RE4 gamer graffix is rad to the bone

[Smoke]

nice thread for one of the best gaming series of all time :)

[ananag112]

A bit of a spoiler. Here is one of the enemies that I said was pretty scary looking. It is not a boss. Open only if you want to be somewhat spoiled:

<Spoilerz> (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v445/ananag12/regen.jpg)

EDIT: I posted this in case anyone else thought this game would be completely un-scary.

[Wshakspear]

Awww....he's smiling! :)

[ananag112]

That is crazy Wshakspear, I thought I would be the only one who thought that. I will try to find a picture of the goomba from the movie to show people. And if anyone wants another picture or two, just ask and I will post them. I found them from various forums around the net and a few pics I took from my cell phone.

Thanks for bringing back the horrible memories Wshakspear.

[crazybaboony2k]

Have none of you played the demo?! Its insane! Leon is quite the acrobat in this one, being able to jump out of windows and all. I blew 6 peoples heads off with one shotgun blast. I had to pause it after that and set the control down for a second to bask in the glory of what I just did. These guys are ruthless though. You get in a two story house they come from every opening possible. They put up ladders, use chainsaws, climb to roofs connected to the house your in so they can get in through the windows. These guys are crazy. Get the shotgun and your set. Theres money involved though? A wierd twist to a RE game.

[ananag112]

The money allows you to buy weapons and weapon upgrades from this merchant guy. I agree, it is sort of strange. Ben Judd (a Capcom employee who posts at GameFaqs.com) hinted towards this way back over the summer. He said this is one of the possible reasons why the game may be given a slightly worse score. He said there was much heated debate over this at Capcom, but in the end, it was decided that they should do this.

just added a new deal for RE4 to the main post. Frys is selling it for $39.99

Amazing reviews thus far. I will try to review it my self asap.

[ananag112]

Post in this thread when you got the game and where you got it from. It might help some people out.

[smalien1]

Got it today with magic wooooooo!!!
I ordered it from GS before the free ON but it won't let me cancel because I don't have an account. w/e I have a few essays to do anyway I can wait

[whoknows]

Wow, 9.6 that is really good, and 9.8 at IGN. Soo excited for this game as I am sure many of you also are. Too bad Gamestop won't get it till Wednesday... :(

[rockhero]

The collector's edition is no longer available on gamestop.com

[ananag112]

Nice, the price should be going up for these soon on ebay then. I was lucky enough to reserve 2 of these (one online, one at the store (I have a ton of store credit to GameStop)). I will pick the store one up this weekend and keep it in a safe place.

[scargums]

i have it now, preordered in store from eb and drove there to pick it up before my classes today...

it is everything the reviews say it is and more! im pissed i have classes today!

[nickmad]

[ananag112]

I like this game so far for the most part. There are some thing that I don't like however. One is the character models go through some some the walls and other items. For example, this one guy was standing behind a door, but his arm and weapon were through the door. Others I can not say without spoilers, so I won't say anything.

My soundtrack has yet to ship :(. I e-mailed GamStop and have yet to get an answer. I will post the message hear when I do get an answer back.

[sisco1986]

For once, a game this generation that lives up to it's hype. My hat goes off to the Capcom team behind RE4, trullly the best horror game I've ever played, de-crowning RE2. I was in luck, I didn't pre-order it and called in to see if they had any RE4's up for sale at my local EB store only had two copies left, everything thing else was claimed, me and some other guy is extremly happy tonight. :D

[whoknows]

Damn, that pic of the tin just makes me want it more. I have to wait till tomorrow to get my hands on the sweet and precious RE4 Collectors tin.....Its decided I am skipping school tomorrow and waiting for Gamestop to open. Also anyone else get the free strategy guide for pre ordering like one of the people above me said? I preordered so I hope I also get the Strategy guide for free.

[Mr. Anderson]

Man, I knew I should have gotten that stupid tin. I'm flat broke...

[nickmad]

all i have to say is *tiny spoiler*

No mine was offering it for 20 percent off... which was what I was told in the automated message I got confirming it would be in today (tuesday)... he must have just gotten lucky and hit a confused (or rather generous) cashier.

I did get the soundtrack too though, which they said was intended to take the place of the Demo Disc since they ran out... (I got mine when I reserved the game back in early December).

[enlightenedgamer]

So much for playing RE4 today. I got it the CE from GS with free FedEx Overnight. It shipped yesterday, but won't be here until tomorrow. Everything was working out fine until the order tracking page stopped updating after 1:30.

Why, FedEx, why? You've always been so good to me...

Oh well, tomorrow's my last day of work before school starts, so things aren't so bad.

[PR Mega X]

I used some Amazon credit to get myself a late Christmas present :D RE4 and Beyond Good and Evil should be here in the next couple of days.

Lucky for me, a friend of mine got his today, and will be coming up from Maryland tomorrow till Sunday. I get to play his copy till Amazon ships mine :cool:

[twanky]

The tin case actually looks better than the Halo 2 one IMO. Pretty nice little extras considering it's an extra 10$ for the SE. Man i wish i was given a free strategy guide. Now, off to play it, finally.

Edit: Ok so after playing. Here somethings i just wanna say about the game.
*****maybe spoilers?*****






From what i played so far, totally loving it. The weapon/items management is awesome and buying stuff with money is a nice change of things for the RE series. I'm just after the first part of chapter 2, pacing myself for this game. I can't handle playing games like this for long amounts of time. :?

[ananag112]

Does anyone know if it is bad to kill the shop keeper guy. I killed him with my shotgun for fun, not expecting him to die (I thought it would be like with the police in the car). Will he come back later?

I didn't save, I just wanted to know what would happen. Also, are you able to sell stuff that you need to him, cause that would be dumb if you needed an item for a puzzle and you sold it to him.

I dont hink so as when you go to inventory its treasures, and "keys"

I do know that some things gain value later in the game and they dont take up inventory so might as well leave them until you need the $$

yeah, I pulled out my TMP and shot one of the shopkeepers in the brain (the underground cavern/lake one) and he never re-appeared. There are merchants at other locations, but that one disappeared for good. I was hoping I could just grab his weapons :evil: but couldn't.. lol

[twiztidjester]

Has anyone got 4RE from BB?

[lord_slappy]

I'm wondering the same thing. A few of the BBs near me were saying the 14th, but one or two said possibly today. I'm going to call this afternoon. I figure I'll wait until after 3pm, since I hear their shipments come in the afternoon. That, and I also can hold out hope as long as I don't call. :-) It makes the day go by faster.

[ragnahrok]

I called Fry's Electronics (Fountain Valley location) today and yesterday, and it seems like I keep on being transferred to the same guy. He said has no clue if they are even getting it today, such an asshole.
Has anybody here from the So. Cal area been to Fry's to get RE:4 yet?

[ryosnk]

Hey CAG's, I was able to get a raincheck from best buy for the 2 for $30 deal when resident evil 4 was on their salespaper. Would they give me a hard time to get two resident evil 4 games (thats how many I put on the raincheck) or it manatory to give them at that price because I have the raincheck? :? Thanks.

This game is un fuckin believeable. Truely an amazing game.

[cthcky33]

i just cancelled my outpost preorder and sprung for the collectors tin....and its AMAZING

[whoknows]

I just got it today and all I got was the tin with the cell and the game and the prologue book thing...they didnt give me a soundtrack should I have gotten one, because I thought they were giving them out too...

[guyver2077]

yea i didnt get a soundtrack either...the uy didnt even know about them...just said it was a web only

[CaseyRyback]

yea i didnt get a soundtrack either...the uy didnt even know about them...just said it was a web only

most def. not a web only. The one near me had like 20 soundtracks

[KingCoopa]

my local gamestop had teh soundtrack and was giving free guides also with teh ones who pre ordered the games both th eguide and soundtrack were while supplies last....

[cthcky33]

i got the soundtrack too, but its pretty lame. not missing out on much

[whoknows]

I wish my gamestop would have given me a free guide or atleast the soundtrack....even if its bad I still wish I could have gotten it...oh well

[ananag112]

The back of my collectors tin is a bit scratched up, and I know I didn't do it. I saw it when I opened it, and I thought all of them are like that. I then saw a few pictures, and most were not scratched up. Do you think GameStop would give me another tin?

If they have anymore left I dont see why they wouldn't.

[ananag112]

I got it online, should I e-mail them?

EDIT: I e-mailed them and am awaiting a response.

[whoknows]

I'd say first call Gamestop and tell them that you got it online and ask if they would change it, if they say no call or email Gamestop.com

Yes, I can also agree with that. That person is rather annoying. I thought I was guiding them into the traps, but no. They decided to walk right into it themselves.

[whoknows]

I'm at the first boss fight right now and its freaking amazing. Its exhilerating, and I am freaking worried about what to do to NOT die. This is the RE game I have been waiting for.

Yes, I can also agree with that. That person is rather annoying. I thought I was guiding them into the traps, but no. They decided to walk right into it themselves.


after they did it for like the fifth time, I got my revenge. I put a bullet right through their brain and shut off the game

How are you supposed to get through the village? I killed about 8-9 of them while running out of clips and relying on my knife, which I soon died with and there were still 3-4 zombies left when I died, how are you supposed to kill that many?

ammo is everywhere.

The only problem I ever have is I have too much ammo

enter the village, hang an immediate left and pick up the stuff in the room on the hill, go straight down and enter the building to the right, pick up more stuff, hop out the window, and run under the platfrom and enter the building to the left to get the stuff in there, then head across the way to the building directly across from the 2 story house, barricade yourself in and pick up all the stuff. Then head to the 2 story building, barricade yourself in and blow the crap out of some zombies.

If you're talking about in the very begginign;
You must run into a certain house on the left side of the village to trigger a cutscene that introduces theguy with a chainsaw. Kill the guy with the chainsaw and thegame will progress. It's the same house with your budde the shotgun in it. At least, tha's hw it is in the demo.

[enlightenedgamer]

I just played for about 1/2 an hour. Amazing. I can already tell that the combat will give it great replay value. I could run through the same section of the game and kill in so many different ways.

I've already had some fun with the enemies. I shot a running guy in the leg and he tripped down a short drop. Nothing huge, but it looked great. Further on, I climbed up into a hay loft, kicked a ladder, and proclaimed "What are you gonna do now?" to the zombie below. Then I took a hatchet in in chest...

My laser cel from the SE is 01687 of 48000. I'm pleased with how low my number is.

Hope everyone else is enjoying it, too.

[/B]Slight Spoiler[B]

Not true... you can beat it without ever going into that house and triggering the chainsaw guy. I found it easiest to start down the path to the left, wasting the lone citizen over there and then taking out the hatchet thrower on the roof, then wasting the people who come from the sides of the house and the inside, collecting their ammo as they expire and then when the cutscene is triggered run to the center of town so you have plenty of space to manuver and run if need be. From there just keep taking out townspeople until the church bell rings.

[FaintDeftone]

Well I put about an hour and a half into it. Around one hour of that was spent trying to get the hell out of that village. Here are my thoughts.

First off, the game is great looking. Sometimes the textures look a little low res, but thats no big deal. The character models and detail are all top notch. Great stuff. Also the controls feel so much better this time around. No more grinding against walls and having the camera angle change on me where my controls go ass backwards and I keep exiting to the previous screen. Very nice.

The game sort of feels like a Tom Clancy game to me. No it's not a stealth game, or a tactical shooter. What makes it feel like a TC game is the level of awareness and the difficulty. The game is tough, but definitely paying attention to your surroundings and staying sharp will get you out of sticky situations. This is the thinking mans survival horror game. Its great because everytime you play this game, you can figure out different tactics and strategies to overcome your obsticles, like the Tom Clancy game Splinter Cell. This is definitely new to the survival horror genre.

The music kind of rips off Silent Hill a bit, but thats not a bad thing. More horror games need eerie music like this. The sound effects and everything are top notch as well. I even like the dialog quite a bit. It reminds me of those old Arnold flicks where he spouts cheesey lines, yet they rule. "where's everybody going?! Bingo?!" HA! So corny yet so so satisfying.

As I said in the other topic, this is the most intense game I have ever played. No game has made me panic as much as this one has. My heart thumps like crazy while I am playing this game. The game isn't as scary as games like Silent Hill, but yet Silent Hill games are not as frantic and give you this strong sense of panic like RE4 does. So really RE4 is kind of a new Survival Horror game. Most of the games in this genre either scare you by making things pop out and go boo, or show you sick demented shit. This game scares you by making you panic like crazy. It's great stuff.

I haven't gotten that far to really see the crazy stuff yet, but I have seem some pretty crazy stuff so far. Its cool because this game is hard but it doesn't frustrate you. You will die a lot yet you will come right back for more and have fun at each attempt. This is a rarity for video games. Its also fine to die because you die in such fashions that you will love to see your character die, it's kinda funny. So if you die, you will go "woa that was fuckin nuts!" rather than "aarrrrggggg *throws controller* aaaahhhh". This is also a gaming rarity.

In conclusion, this game achieves many things most games cannot. I am very suprised on how well this game came out. This is what the series really needed. I just hope future installments of the RE franchise will continue to attempt new things like Capcom did with this one, because it works and works very well.

Why do the villagers speak a different language? That's just odd.

[twiztidjester]

Hey CAG's, I was able to get a raincheck from best buy for the 2 for $30 deal when resident evil 4 was on their salespaper. Would they give me a hard time to get two resident evil 4 games (thats how many I put on the raincheck) or it manatory to give them at that price because I have the raincheck? :? Thanks.

You will probely have to deal with the manager i got one as well and the manager said he would honor it.

Wow this game is hard, I just entered the village right after they all enter the church and damn is it scary.

[nickmad]

anyone get to disc 2 yet, seems like ive been playing a while now.....i just entered the castle with the flaming catapults and crazy monks.

[tyecko]

How's everyones game going? I'm loving it, I just started chapter 3 with the chainsaw man but I cant figure out how to kill him, I fired 13 rounds or so of a shotgun and it took him down 2-3 times but didn't die, do I just have to keep blasting or is there some secret to it? Such a scary game, Yet so freaking fun.

I just ran past him

[Mouse]

My strategy for killing the chainsaw guys (who I dub "Leatherface") is to knock them over point blank with the shotgun, run foward, slash at them with the knife till they get up, then repepat. Works fairly well.

[ananag112]

In the first area, I can easily beat "Leatherface" with a knife. All I do is un up a ladder, he climbs up, and then I push the ladder down. He falls and I hit him with the shotgun a few times. Just keep doing this and he will be dead in no time.

[tyecko]

Well right now I am on 2-2 and I am in a house with Luis shooting a kajillion zombies.

[Wshakspear]

With the chainsaw guys and the...um...*special* villagers with the extra..yeh...them i use the Flash Granades. Makes the chainsaw guys babies and makes the *special* villigars go boom

[tenzor]

just beat the game a few minutes ago. Man that is the best resident evil I have ever played. Actually its one of the best games I have ever played. I can't wait to try the extra modes that were unlocked. After playing around with the extras, I am going to try and play the game on the professional mode.

[Scorch]

I'm past that and still not on Disc 2. I'm 15 hours in.. I think I just beat 4-3, or something. I should be near Disc 2. I love this game.

Chapter 5-1 is the beginning of Disc 2. I just finished the game yesterday. I have to say I was vert impressed throughout. Kudos to Capcom for such a great game.

[ananag112]

Can you tell me what happens at the end KrazyKefka? I was at the final boss fight when my memory card crapped out on me and I had to restart it. I am now at the cage match. I would really like to know what happens. If you don't want to post here, please PM it to me. Thank you very much.

[ananag112]

I didn't notice this before, but if you keep dying, the game automatically lowers the difficulty for you. For example <minor spoilers>In the cage match, I ran out of shotgun bullets, and all I had was my Punisher. I died 3 times against the prisioner guy, so the fourth time I played, the prisioner was gone, and he was replaced with a normal monk. This made that part extremely easy</spoilers>.

[whoknows]

I beat it Friday night, and have started playing through it again. I must say that this is easily my Favorite GC game and RE game...So far my favorite game is DMC, but I think RE4 may be my favorite game now...

[Mospeada_21]

my 'everything re4' free score:

1) re4 preview/demo disc - courtesy EB
2) re4 'making of' dvd - courtesy EB
3) re4 soundtrack - courtesy GameStop
4) re4 mock up game cover 1 - courtesy GameStop
5) re4 mock up game cover 2 - courtesy GameStop

mock up #2 looks just like the final release version, except the back is different. mock up #1 has leon doing some sort of fence hop. (i just asked for it nicely, and they said okay)

all these 'collector' items even before i pick up the re4 game. (free goodness) :D

question: i can still purchase the gamestop collector's edition for $59.99 in my area. extras, previously listed, are the metal tin case, laser cell, and prologue art book. do you think those 3 items are worth the $20 difference, cause i have a raincheck for fry's at $39.99? Or even 6 to 12 months from now, when the price drops, and the difference becomes $35 -$40.. so the question really becomes, are those 3 items worth $20-40? thanks! :?
