i dont remember exactly what he said but he said something like "the game is really fun, but it would have been so much better if you could play it online".

Well, that's not so bad then. Still, something like Mercenary mode online would indeed rock though. The devs on the PS2 version did say they had ideas for an online mode and wanted to do it, but didn't have enough time.

I think online for RE4's Mercenaries would be interesting, but could the engine run smoothly online? RE Outbreak was a great looking game but designed with an online infrastructure in mind.

Yeah, I would imagine the online portion of the engine would have to be really reworked to support such heavy variables, they have to account for how much visual fidelity takes an impact on the online environment, in short multiplayer mode wouldn't look quite look as pretty as the main game to balance it out.

I thought so.

That said, I hope RE5 has an online mode and I'm sure Deadly Silence is going to be the test for that.
 
I'm pretty sure that Oubreak and Outbreak file#2 were both testing grounds for future online multiplayer Resident evil titles. Capcom needs to take a hard look at the loadtimes and communications between players and improve both. Change the design decision of the Outbreak titles to finally include voice and keyboard chat for players(possibly voice chat would only work if players are in the same room?). CVX, I still wish Capcom would release file#3 scenarios in the form of Hdd downloads for PS2 owners that actually use the Hdd. I still have 23gigs left on my PS2 Hdd.

BTW, the EB by my house said that RE4 was going to arrive around the 27th or so of this month :/
I hope he was joking...

Capcom games usually make it on time in CA because that's where they're based. I would call tomorrow and check.

Like I said in the other thread, everything's the same except for tilt, what is that again anyway?

Gamespot used to have an explanation of it.

IIRC, it had to do with how much hype or excitement the reviewer had for the game.

As I said in the other thread, there couldn't have been much hype since the game made headlines on the GC last January.

Yeah, exactly. I agree. Plenty of hype surrounding the GC release but it seems they weren't quite as thrilled to see it ported.

That's pretty much it. RE4 is old news. If PS2 gamers hadn't heard about it by taking a glance at the GC shelf now and then, they sure heard about it when PSM would cry about it's departure from the PS2. :lol
 
1up review!!

The GC version got 9.5 so PS2 for the win!
 
Solid, you realize it's time for you to eat crow over the Gamespot score. You said "Gamespot would never give it over a 9.0", and it was a 9.3.

I don't forget that quickly, heheh.
 
i saw it anihawk. i didnt want to reply in it though, cause then the whole thread would be about me and my conspiracy theory :lol
 
Hey CVX, is the guide just the exact same but with the new stuff tossed in? We're huge guide collectors, but I'm not sure if even I can justify a purchase of it if I've already got the GC one.

I never got the GC guide so I can't be sure, but it probably is mostly the same. Just at the end of the book is a complete walkthrough for Separate Ways.
 
i would have checked the ps2 guide yesterday but ebgames had the new strategy guides shrinkrwapped.. wtf? :|
 
Does anyone know if the GC guide is authored by two people? The PS2 one is, and it may be that the new author tookon the PS2 extras while Dan Birlew stuck to the GC territory and refined it (screenshot-wise) for PS2.

Is this the preorder figure that Gamestop and Gamerush were doing? Jesus. IT'S A MAN BABY
 
Seriously? What the hell. I didn't really look into it, but I'd assumed the figures coming with the sets were just going to be the regular Ada/Leon figures going on sale. That's pretty crappy, glad I didn't order one of those.

Even with their biggest game of the year, they still went cheap and gave us a b&w manual. FU CRAPCUM. :(

Capcom PS2 titles will always have B/W manuals. The trade off is better disc art than the GC editions.
 
Well I went with the Premium Edition. That is some SEXY packaging right there! Totaly puts the GCN limited edition to shame, and good lord does Ada look nice (& curvy) in that laser cell.

Alright, time to beat this game for the 10th time. :lol

Where you get it? Please tell me it's not just a Gamestop only kind of thing again?
 
Damn, I didn't know EB was doing a shirt with preorders. Oh well. Going to GS to get mine in a little bit, Premium Edition looks loads better than the GC one, glad I went for it.
 
Can anybody tell me if Seperate Ways has any additional boss fights and if so, what are they? Thanks. :) Don't forget to spoiler tag your answer for the spoiler avoiders. :p
