Me too. Actually, I bought it off my bro. He bought it on Saturday and by Sunday he sold it to me. He's too scared of it. He's in college so I felt bad and bought it off of him for what he paid. The funny thing is, I'm too scared of the damn game too...but it's so fun. So...I'll be checking in to this thread from time to time, and progressing...slowly...

I'm not saying the PS2 graphics compare that favourably to the Wii/Cube versions side by side; just that as someone who's spent a lot of time with the PS2 version I haven't had many "Wow! Teh superior!" moments when actually playing the game. Fire does look stunning though, and I'm appreciating the clean in-game voices. Many of the subtle improvements are probably lost in the jaggies.
I can't get over the controls. So impressed by the differing sensitivities for different guns. Using the TMP was nowhere near this satisfying with last gen controls. Not only does it feel great to fire, using it without the stock is now a viable option. With the Wii edition, I'm using the stock for my Red 9 and skipping the stock for the TMP. Even with the Red 9 stock, sometimes l find I'll actually steady the remote with my left hand to take tricky shots. This had better not be the last RE I play on the Wii with this level of depth.

Finished the game finally(well beat the PS2 version before so eh).
Boy do I suck at Mercenaries. Busted my ass in the village and best is still only 2 stars.

Village is realy easy, collect the time extensions and ammo first and then make a stand in the small barn with the red barrel in front. That way you rake in an insane amount of kills-5 stars with every character guaranteed.PepsimanVsJoe said:
Now the last level with the two giant Dr. Salvadors gives me real headaches with Leon. I just can't kill the Dr.'s quick enough and am wasting time and kills.
Just killed Krauser and did the helicopter scene. I died once against Krauser (final fight) because I tried to use guns against him...in the second one I ran at him when he was in a corner and used my knife. Stab, Stab, A+B, Stab, Stab, A+B, Stab, Stab, DEAD.
The part with the helicopter was so damn badass, especially almost at the end when machine gunning the ganados in slow-motion. Awesome game. Dam if it were up to me this game would win GOTY every year.

Just finished the game..is it me or is the ending the worst thing ever? They totally ruined the whole script with those lines. Overtime? Cute without glasses? LOL!
I mucked around a bit with seperate ways...didn't actually play it but just got a question. Can I come in contact with Leon while we're in the village?

I've beaten everything now, all extra modes and shit mercs with 5 star and am doing a runthrough of the main game again. Had all the fancy guns and sold EVERYTHING to get the chicago typewriter. Uh, wow, that's a tough gun.....
Going to try it on pro after that. the second run through is much much shorter, I fully upgraded the hand cannon before I sold it, shiiiit that gun is just CHEATING.

The story is the worst thing about the game, ending included. It didn't detract from the experience for me, though. I can't really imagine RE4 with incredible gameplay AND a great storyline -- heck, even a competent storyline... it would just be too good.Lobster said:
Okay. So I never quite finished the GC version (backlog city). I'm thinking about picking up some Wii component cables after work. Should I grab a copy of RE4 on Wii while I'm at it? Or should I just grab the pad and play it the way it was originally intended over 480p.
Quick questions:
Does the Wii version offer superior gfx to the GC?
Do the controls enhance or hinder the experience?
Does it do enough different/better to warrant double dipping?

-No, not really. It's in widescreen, but only because it's been blown up. And there is still a pretty heavy underscan.
-Enhance, in a big way. The game is much more fun, I'd say.
-If you didn't beat the first one on Cube and/or you didn't play Separate Ways (the Ada 'sexpansion' found on PS2), then I'd say it's definitely worth a buy.

Sadly the dithering is far more noticeable on the Wii, but that's just due to the clarity of component cables.Proc said:

I find that just the lighting makes the Wii/GC version lightyears ahead of the PS2 version. The Lab loses every last bit of it's creepiness in the PS2 version. Hell, it's hardly even fucking dark in there!
Just finished seperate ways. Are you guys sure the Ada stuff has been upgraded? I could swear the lightings a bit off and some textures were ugly..
Seperate ways was harder then the actual game for me..having crappy weapons that you can not tune up sucks..sucks so bad. Then shoving a crossbow on you and not being able to pay for it..jeeze! Great shit though. Cleared up some stuff. Shocked to see Krauser alive, holy crap.
Going to play the Ada missions now..even though I prefer her red dress
Mercenaries pisses me off..keep getting killed by the chainsaw bitches.
All the extras are great, adds a shit load of replay value. The only problem I have with the extras is that im not sure they're the GC graphics..looks downgraded from the actual adventure.

Just to follow up with my purchase. Sadly I tore off the game packaging (not experienced with opening up wii games I guess lol) so I had to glue the cover back onto the box; no biggy.
I'm so glad I bought this with the component cables! This has totally proven buying my brother's Wii to be worth while. RE4 has made me fall in love with the Wii mote and has really proven its worth to me. I'm on such a Wii kick right now, gonna go pick up the pretty affordable classic controller and get my VC on tonight
I don't know if its the fact that its just a "new thing" to me, but I'm really taking a shine to the Wiimote, I think it has loads of potential. Zelda really pops with the component cables as well, the richer colours really go the extra mile. Go Wii!

I can't believe how much I love RE4 all over again with this controls. I am excited for RE5, but somewhat less excited that I'll have to go back to dual analog.
I hope Capcom gives us some more RE4-style love on wii. A new IP with a similar control setup would be MUCH appreciated.

That's awesome. I believe there's a point where the Wiimote just 'clicks' with some people and that's a great feeling. Enjoy RE4!Proc said:Just to follow up with my purchase.

My copy arrived today (after weeks of hunting around locally) and so far it's proving to be a lot of fun. I don't know if it's because of the time passed since the last playthrough or the controls but i'm finding it a lot harder, even if I do know where to expect the villagers and where to go etc.
The new controls though are really sublime, Wii Sports (and Zelda) aside, this game shows off the controls for the Wii perfectly- I think i'll really struggle should I go back to this on the Gamecube again.

I thought SW was pretty easy, could buy the crossbow right from the merchant at the garden and I bought everything else as well. There's a lot of treasure lying around, you can get a complete Elegant Mask and Beerstein pretty early on.Lobster said:Just finished seperate ways. Are you guys sure the Ada stuff has been upgraded?

The first thing I always buy when I get to the merchant are 2 first aid sprays so I never have enough money..I didn't really do much exploring with Ada..having weaker guns really makes me pissed off when I got so used to blowing heads off 3 at a time with my shotgun while Adas can't even manage 1
Ill probably play the main game again and try to do a speed run of below 10 hours.
I still have a feeling that the extra stuff has downgraded graphics..I can't shake the feeling..
Closer examination by professionals with capture software proved that SW's graphics aren't as good as the main game. I personally found it hard to notice until people had the screens to prove it.
In the PS2 version, SW looked better than the main game IMO (more polished). So there was a bit of inconsistency in that version, too.

Lobster said:I mainly noticed it in the lighting..just didn't feel right..
BTW..where is this part of the game..?
I don't recall ever seeing that part :S
Isn't that before the tower, and just before the mine cart sequence? After the novistador lair when you take that platform up. I think that's where it is..

just ran through the whole game with the chicago typewriter. thats a reasonably powerful gun isn't it.
I want to have a crack at pro now since I've done everything else possible. One thing that bugs me,
in the underground sandy area with all the bear traps on the floor and the chainsaw guy in that kind of house thingy, there is a valuable item in the tunnel before that room, I can't find it, I'm standing right on it according to the map, but it's nowhere to be found. I didn't get it on either run through and it's driving me nuts. I assume there is a switch or something.

Tunnel... before that room? The closest I recall a Valuable Item is would be in the Salazar Pimp Cane (actually, Royal Staff), in an little cave near the start of the room.
Alternatively, you might be referring to the Crown Emblem you pick up from the 'elevator' before riding it up. Otherwise, I don't recall any Valuable Item in the vicinity.
Also, of the 'Ultimate Weapons', the IRL is the only weapon that doesn't completely drain all the fun from the game.

yeah the tunnel has some bits dugout in the walls and there is boxes on a couple of the dugouts, the roof is quite low in there.
I don't recall finding the royal staff, maybe that's it. Where/how exactly do you get it?
I've tried walking to the spot on the map marked by the star, but there is NOTHING there, checked the roof and the star is right beside one of those dug out wall things in the tunnel. I assumed there would be a switch that would drop something there.
Pureauthor said:
Surely you don't mean the plagas removal laser? It drains all the fun from the game, charge it up and it kills everything on screen? That sucks! Plus it really sucks when there's an enemy close to you cuz it takes a while to charge even a little bit to get the flash grenade effect when firing.. >_<
Chicago typewriter is by far the best bonus weapon!
Catfish: There is a tomb underneath the entrance to that room, you have to be on the same level as the traps, and walk back toward the entrance, there will be a tunnel that leads to a sarcophagus that you can open for the treasure

OH SHIT I'm retarded.
what's the prize for finishing on pro?
So far I've unlocked the chicago typewriter the handcannon that the pistol that shoots 3 bullets at a time. What's this IRL thing?
I think he means the PRL, plagas removal laser and that's what you get by finishing pro. You don't even have to buy it, it costs 0 in the store, but the thing is enormous, and isn't really that fun imo.. You should do pro (it's fun, costume 2 makes it WAY easier though cuz you can use Ashley as a decoy, hehe) and check it out!
