They only estimated to sell 420,000 copies I think- apetite the game is much larger than they predicted.Dimmuxx said:I really hate that they undershipped this game. I won't get it until tuesday at the earliest.
I hope they adjust it for Umbrella Chronicles if the game outsells that estimate.
They have banked on selling 620,000 copies of Umbrella Chronicles.

Yes, it is random. I believe the likelihood is 1% per damage point, except that the 9mm handgun's final upgrade makes it 5% per damage point.

for the regens you should be using a
rifle with the infrared scope to locate their weak spots
you shoot in the head slowly
I'm pretty well an RE virgin: I played a bit of REmake on a rental, but then basically chickened out because of how much I sucked.
I've only played through the prologue, which kicked my ass numerous, numerous times, but I'm enjoying myself and was inspired to write the following blog post.
Me and the Man with the Chainsaw: Going 'Mature' with Resident Evil 4
If you wish to read the rest, here's the link.

How do I unlock Leon's Mafia suit?
Does anybody else think we could be seeing a RE2: Wii Edition coming?
-Nearly everybody loves the controls.
-This game is selling well in (anecdotal evidence only in the U.S. so far, though).
-Capcom loves to whore out their franchises and has ported/remade the first game several times.
-We've pretty much seen every environment/character in RE: UC except for the RE2 ones.

that's the kind of stuff wet dreams are made of, so it will probably never happenJammy said:

I think my favourite spinoff to come from the story is that my mother now wants me to take down the blog post since people will think I'm actually going to become a serial killer. I just can't make this shit up.
I'm almost hesitating going back to the game in case it kicks my ass again: what's the section post-prologue like, difficulty wise?

I almost believe to be possible because it doesn't seem to be included in the new light gun game but in saying that if they made it, it would be extremely easy
Finally got back to the area where I left off in the GC version yesterday.
Seriously...Capcom are ****ed in the head. These Regenerators are the freakiest bastards i've ever come up against in a Resident Evil game, and I thought Crimson Heads were rough. I remember them from my first encounter on the GC, and this time I thought I was prepared...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4CDUZdNlUo
Everything about them is so creepy.
Shames!
Anyway skipping ahead a bit...Krauser is a bad ass! He IS Commando's, Bennett's and Rambo's unholy love child. :lol: Great fight, a decent attempt at close combat and standard gun play being part of a RE boss battle. Worked really well with the Wiimote gesturing QTE. More about Krauser when I cba.
Also a quick shout out to be one of the SKANKEST moments ever...I knew it was coming, but Capcom did a swerve on me and...
I'll get you Saddler!

*Regenerator smashes out his enclosure trapping me in the other room
*I reload the Striker Shotgun and stand in the door way.
*Regenerator activates the automatic doors
*I let rip with a shot to the head, the chest and both his legs and I keep shooting the bastard while he lays on the floor...flawless plan right?

HE ONLY LEAPS OFF THE FLOOR LIKE A CHUFFING SUPER SALMON, CLAMPS HIS JAWS AROUND LEON'S NECK AND MAKES ME SHIT MYSELF...AGAIN. :UNGGGHARGH:
Everything about them is so creepy.
The shambling walk, the breathing and ofcourse the fact that standard shots do nothing to them as they quickly regrow their limbs and even head!
After that fright, and dieing another couple of times, I shot it in the head and ran right past him! :xd: Quickly ran around the corner and straight into the arms of another one much to my shock. :angry: How did I not predict there would be ANOTHER one right around a blind corner?
Got out of that section and managed to dispatch numerous other Regenerators with the help of the rifle and the infared scope. Didn't help that I had a default rifle with no upgrades, so I purchased the semi-auto one from the merchant which doesn't take 2 hours to reload. Also, the way they explode is absolute grim...entire corridor gets sprayed and littered with blood and bits. :wacko:

A little bit of an Amazon sales update: This game has never left the top 10 in nearly three weeks since launch, usually hovering within the top 3 in the first week, top 5 in the second week and top 8 in the earlier part of this week but has been hovering in the top 5 again in the last two days.
To have some sort of comparison, Mario Party 8 is usually a place or two behind or in front of it and Nintendo confirmed that they sold 200k more Mario Party 8s since RE4: Wii was released. 200k for RE:4 Wii first month is a good possibility just based on the Amazon extrapolation but it could be less than that. Still, it has a very good chance of entering the top 10 when June NPD comes around.
Take everything I just said with a huge grain of salt, though.

Oh man, those Regenerators made me scream. Repeatedly. With people in the room watching me play. First time I saw them walk, I ran, and ran, and ran until they went down a hallway and I had 10 minutes to calm down. Then I tried my trusty shotgun and I screamed and ran afterward. Seriously, I probably could have given that screaming Japanese Resident Evil player a run for his money.
Those things are the single biggest reason why I haven't purchased this Wiimake yet. I don't think I could go through that section again by myself.
Christopher said:
Why are you so anti sales? It's just a few updates on how well its selling. I think its perfectly relevant, and so far it has not at all derailed the thread. Relax a bit.
Good RE4 sales hopefully equals a similar ground up effort in the future. That's good news.
Tell me if this is going to be a problem.
Since the wii mote aiming makes it so easy to aim and shoot guys, I didn't buy the rifle. I'm right before the part where regenerators come out. Since I don't have the rifle, and therefore cannot attach the infered scope, can I still kill these things?

Sure you can, but it takes a LOT of bullets - unhealthy ammount of so. Just get the rifle.

Well there is a certain thread for such posts - and I tend to stay out of the sales garbage posts/threads. If it's not selling well so what? If it's selling well so what? Play the game dude, not the sales.
Christopher said:
He just wants to see more of the same level of dedication and awesomeness. UC might end up a good game, but it clearly does not have the level of focus RE4 did.
I personally don't care if it's not a numerical Resident Evil, I just want another game in the series with the same incredible design and tight controls.

Yeah basically. I'm so effing in love with this game. I guess I'm lucky this is my first time playing it huh? The controls feel so perfect. I can't believe I got this masterpiece for 30 bucks.

those regenerators are mother f'ers dudes. scared the crap out of me many a-time. the worst i think is after you jump down into the trash disposal and a couple of those a-holes are down there.... man i hate those things.
but a well placed shot with the sweet sniper rifle takes care of business!
btw gamefly just shipped this game to me! ill keep it for 24.99, thx gamefly!
