    I imported an American copy of resi 4 from a website but due to various problems only got it last week :rolleyes: In retrospect I should have just waited. This game is well funky tho; I'm enjoying every second of it. Just one more day...

    Finished it last weekend. I have to say that it could well be the game of the year. I'm surprised that capcom made such a fantastic 3rd person action game. It puts shame to all the other generic games in the genre. Every gamecube own should rush out and get this excellent game even if they don't like resident evil since it now plays like a whole new game.

    Is it scary like the last ones?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    It looks scary as hell, although the Lord of the Rings influence is puzzling me. Good thing they have included some of the exclusive monsters from the books,
    the thing in the water (leviathan)

    I'm curious about what you're referring to when you say "Lord of the Rings influence"?

    I imported it around mid-February. Superb game an definitely the best of it's genre. Though in terms of scariness I'd say it has it's moments but really did nothing for me.
    When you finish the game you get a harder difficulty mode to play with which IMO is much more fun and balanced and how the game should've been presented in the first place. The scariness factor is upped somewhat when you've 5-10 enemies approaching and only a handful of handgun rounds left :)

    That's got nothing to do with LotR, if that's what you're saying. Here's a wikipedia entry about it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    No-no, the
    giant troll was the LOTR ref in my view
    the
    thing in the water was from the books


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    I see.. resident evil books then? Never heard of them... but a quick google reveals that they do indeed exist.




    you sad basterd :p

    Burned i so am, i noticed them when on holiday one time and bought them all over a space of a few months... havent read them in about 3 year


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    I suppose they do look similar, though I'd hardly call LOTR an influence because of that.

    Moving on, I found a site here where you can download all of the in game cut-scenes and boss fights. Of course it contains spoilers so if you haven't played the game don't clink the link!

    I have €20 on my reward card. I get paid tomorrow. RE4 is released. I think that's fate. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Swifty

    sure itt will only cost you about 20quid of the bank. you have to! i want that pal box! its so cool lookin and the discs too! im stuck with my gay lookin american box :( my game save wont work with the pal game unfortunately.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,399 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Whats with bloody American NTSC boxes. Resident Evil and Final Fantasy boxes look terrible for the NTSC games. Much nicer artwork on the PAL boxes. Proves Americans have no taste :)

    What's the PAL conversion like. Capcom usually do great conversions but even the NTSC version had big dirty PAL lines (they could be removed if your tv has a zoom function).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,918 ✭✭✭Deadwing


    ARRRRGH!!! Noooo!!!! Why, WHY must i be stuck in friggin work until half 7, absolutely nowhere near a game shop?? Looks like ill have to wait til tomorrow..god damn these late shifts to bloody hell :mad:

    Just collected my copy from Game on Dawson st...now all I have to do is finish work and run home..

    The guy in there tells me that every third person in there this morning bought it. Not surprising really.
