Tusky · 18-03-2005 4:10pm

Whoooooo

Played it for an hour or two this morning and it is absolutely freakin brilliant so far.

Mr E · 18-03-2005 4:19pm

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).

Yep has big dirty borders on it. But big dirty smooth 60hz borders

My widescreen has a handy fit to screen button anyway, you get a slight reduction in quality but its worth it. It's cool so far, but im only on chapter 3 of the first part. I wouldn't be a fan of Leon though, he looks like a male model with his poncy floppy hairdo.

However Ashley isn't bad

bah! leon was the man back in resi 2, best resi character ever!

Oh and damn you all for playing it while im stuck in work

Retr0gamer · 18-03-2005 5:49pm

Claire was much more annoying. I still can't get her high pitched 'Leon!' out of my head after all these years.

nah. Chris was the man. Leon was just some snot nosed rookie.
he's a hell of a lot less annoying in resi4. wish they'd used Claire or Jill instead though

at the start of the third chapter now, but i've run out of ammo

DingChavez · 18-03-2005 6:21pm

Well, I got it in smiths for 50E. It was nowhere to be found in my GAME. I thnk I'll be going to smiths from now on...

Bubba · 18-03-2005 8:05pm

how many chapters are there does anyone know?? ive just started off in the castle!!

Creature · 18-03-2005 10:11pm

There's five in all iirc. Each consisting of 4 sub chapters.

Captain Trips · 18-03-2005 10:16pm

Ah for feck's sake. This is ridiculous there are so many goddamn games just out. I'm barely into GT4 and KOTOR2 even with the bugs. Matrix Online is out in 2 weeks and WTF now RE4. WTF like is this a pisstake or something?

Not that I need to compulsively keep buying games but there are too many "must have" oine's out at the moment.

Swifty · 18-03-2005 10:50pm

At the start of chapter 3 aswell here myself. Oh goodie theres a deranged priest behind it all. The story is so meh.. as expected but the gameplay is pretty damn good. What are ye spending yere pesetas on from the gun selling nacker? I upped my pistol skills a level and have lvl 2 shotgun firepower. Holding back on the rocket launcher till later.

Graphics are so impressive, hard to believe its on the GC. If kevo was reviewing this it's be a big two thumbs up "DEDLY" in the graffex department.

at the start of the 2nd chapter myself (2-1)
i've got my shotty, pistol and rifle all fully upgraded to level 2

gonna start saving for the rpg now.

the boss battles are just plain... wow :eek:

corblimey · 19-03-2005 12:07am

What is this resident Evil I keep hearing about :P

Actually, I bought my GC last week especially because I heard so many good things about this game. Seems like its living up to its claims. May have to give the long haired fool in Game Mahon Point another fistful of cash tomorrow. It's a shame because I just know Viewtiful Joe, Animal Crossing, Pikmin 2 and all the others are not going to get a look-in. Also, I have a friend coming over tomorrow who won't leave when he sees it. Maybe I should wait and pick it up second hand in about 6 months time?

j/k

tman · 19-03-2005 12:14am

hmmm... its a ****ing great game (looking like an early contender for my game of the year)
but pikmin 2 is an absolute whore of a game to pick back up if you haven't played it in a few weeks.
it'd be fairly criminal to just leave a great game like that uncompleted

elvis2002 · 19-03-2005 12:31am

anyone seen the resident evil gamecube pack out with the cube and the game?

evad_lhorg · 19-03-2005 1:36am

yea every store has them just not a lot of them. its fairly cheap. for 160m you get it and metroid prime 2 and a free memory card in GAME.

and i dont know what yous are all talkin about not bein able to find it. dawson st had TONNES of it

Smellyirishman · 19-03-2005 1:37am

Got mine in Game in Liffey Valley, €55.

My GF won't let me play it without her though because she loves the games , but she only loves watching them, she won't play em! :rolleyes:

doom3, halflife2 , san andreas, gt4, now resident evil, battlefield soon and maybe stalker aswell its just plain not fair

Smellyirishman · 19-03-2005 2:02am

How DARE they release quality game after quality game. Bastards.

dont worry im sure EA will bring down the standards in between all the goodness

Bubba · 19-03-2005 1:00pm

I am so screwed for school work now that this game is out!! It's so amazing!

Tusky · 19-03-2005 2:53pm

I havent had too much time to play it because of the weekend and what not. It is just fantastic though, non stop entertainment, it really never lets you down...hope the story goes somewhere half decent though.

Roar · 19-03-2005 3:27pm

i wont be getting it till wednesday, but i;ve two days off work then so i'll be locking myself in and turning off my phone.. and the lads at work got me vouchers for game for my birthday which was fairly handy... nice one...

Tusky · 19-03-2005 5:46pm

first two boss battles are amazing.

the one on the boat was cool but fairly easy, the ogre killed me first time I tried, gonna give him another go in a bit

Creature · 19-03-2005 6:31pm

The next one's even better

Unfortunately I found that most of the boss battles, despite being great fun, were a bit of a let down in terms of difficulty. Except for one

Salazar's bodyguard

which I had to resort to buying a rocket launcher to beat

Still though, Pro mode makes things much more fun (:

Deadwing · 20-03-2005 12:35pm

I FINALLY got it yesterday..absolutley class. I went into it and started playing like a regular resident evil game thinking 'these villagers arent so tough! i can take em! Theyre slow!' Then they chased me into a house and chopped down the door with a chainsaw..chased me into a corner, i had to use a flash grenade to blind them, run upstairs still being chased by the chainsaw dude, jumped out a window, got chased across the rooftops, and then realised this is the best resident evil gae since RE2

The shotgun!!! its so easy to tell shinji mikami is back at the controls when you hear that shotgun blast!

Roar · 20-03-2005 12:40pm

spoiler tags would be nice, deadwing :mad:
