Tab0203 said:The ps2 version does not look the same.
I posted ps2 - gc pics two years ago in a comparison thread at beyond3d. (I used a gamecube video someone posted here and a ps2 video from Dot50Cal's site) The reaction at the lava room was: "It's like night and day!"
They cut many polygons, took out the lighting, downgraded texture resolution, particle and water effects, upgraded loading time (even switching weapons takes longer) and fucked up the sound quality for whatever reason. Not enough space due to the fmv-cutscenes? Also, framerate problems.
Don't get me wrong. The PS2 port isn't that bad. Probably one of the most expensive, time consuming ports ever. But the "looks much the same" comment is just wrong.Aske said: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.
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: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.
Lobster said: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?
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:Just finished the game..is it me or is the ending the worst thing ever?

Well if you wanted to, you could vote it in this year when I do the voting thread.Lobster said: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.

Like MGS3 (which won stealth three years in a row), I expect this to have a strong following again.

Proc 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?
Sadly the dithering is far more noticeable on the Wii, but that's just due to the clarity of component cables.Proc said:Does the Wii version offer superior gfx to the GC?
Enhance x 1000 (unless you're like the two people in this thread who thought otherwise)Proc said:Do the controls enhance or hinder the experience?
Well, you get the bonus missions from the PS2 version. I played the Wii version all the way through 6 times and the Wii 3 times, on my 4th play through now.Proc said:Does it do enough different/better to warrant double dipping?

underfooter said:I am excited for RE5, but somewhat less excited that I'll have to go back to dual analog.
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. 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!
XSX said:Don't worry, You won't have too.
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? 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.

cvxfreak said: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
Vexidus said: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..
catfish said: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.
Pureauthor said: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.
Pureauthor said:Also, of the 'Ultimate Weapons', the IRL is the only weapon that doesn't completely drain all the fun from the game.
Vexidus said: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
