Resident Evil 4

[Pissin' Poonani]

Just saw a preview of this on the PSM DVD, and it looks pretty lovely.

The game is no longer a Gamecube exclusive (I assume that Capcom realised GC only sales wouldn't be nearly as tasty as GC and PS2 sales combined), and the graphics look lovely (I'm assuming that because I saw the demo on a PS2 magazine disc that it was the PS2 version-if so I'd assume the GC version will look even better).

The game no longer has fixed camera angles, and adopts an over-the-shoulder approach to gameplay. The weapon aiming is now free, meaning you can target the enemy wherever you like (shoot-out knees, groins and heads-yay!), and looks like it will make for a better gaming experience.

No zombies this time round-as far as I can see it's psychotic villagers who will be the main source of cannon-fodder, although there are still various monsters in the game, so I imagine that the villagers aren't your bog-standard oomans.

All in all, looks very nice!

I was ranting on about this just recently (check about a year) - the PS2 version looks ok, the GC version is graphically alot better tho.

but essentially the same games so nothing to complain about I guess. - lots of videos over at IGN.com

Capcom, you SWINE! The PS2 already has an exclusive RE-game!

It does, yes. buy a gamecube, a black one.

Indeed, looks to be an excellent game-engine, and it has some interactivity and wind and stuff too.

Good and proper! Have you seen the latest of the videos, when he fights the villagers?

All in all, looks very nice!

Yepp.

Phew, I thought this was a movie-thread

The last Res. Evil game I played was the first one I'm way out of the loop.
