The Japanese version is censored (no decapitations).
Separate Ways is called "the another order".
Assignment Ada is called "Ada the Spy".
In Normal Mode, Ashley's little gameplay segment is in the classic RE viewpoint.

I fold. Although I do have that rare RE2+3 guide made for Cube. Anyhow, does the NTSC version have regular behind-the-shoulder viewpoints for the Ashley portions? When you say classic, you mean fixed viewpoints? Its been awhile since I've played that part of RE4...

Haha. The NTSC version just has Ashley in the traditional viewpoint. (EDIT: traditional RE4 viewpoint, not the classic RE viewpoint)

Not sure why the change was made, but then Japan does seem to like classic RE, so maybe it was thrown in as a bonus for them.
 
Just played/beat Separate Ways yesterday for the first time (only had the GC version, so I never played this). It was decent, and a nice supplement to Leon's main game. The visuals were a bit of a downgrade, but things like the bowgun and the Saddler fight made up for it.

Also, I can FINALLY get 5 star ratings with relative ease now in The Mercenaries, due to the wiimote. Krauser + wiimote = unstoppable.

It's Plagas.

PRL 412 works on him, he has the same yellowish blood as other Plagas creatures, Ada's Report cuts to pictures of a Plagas parasite when talking about his power, Biohazard 4 Perfect Capture Guide says it's Plagas.
Click to expand...

Then how did he have the arm before he ever met Saddler?
 
Is anyone finding some weapons slightly harder to use in this version? Namely, the rifle and maybe the shotgun also. Of course, I feel like I could hold off 400 Ganados with the Blacktail in this version.
 
I just got to the part with the giant saddler statue, after you hit the switch about 20 ganados (or w/e the regular footsoliders are called) jump into the room with you HOLY CRAP I didn't even have time to switch weapons
 
finished the main game last night and am on chapter 3 of seperate ways.

it's held up so well.

seperate ways certainly doesn't look as good as the main game but it does look better than the PS2 game.

also, maybe i'm going crazy, but gameplay to me looks slightly sharper than cutscenes.

does anyone else feel that?

oh and the TMP... i save it for special occasions... predominantly El Gigantes and IT. heck, it's one of the first guns in the game you can pour money into upgrading.
 
ElectricBlue187 said:
should I fully upgrade my TMP or is there another machine gun (typewriter gun?) coming soon that I should buy instead?
Click to expand...

When doing just one playthrough, you can upgrade it fully. But you can unlock a better machine gun for a second playthrough.

The arm isn't due to a Plagas.

In Ada's Report she says that

a) She has created a strategy to deal with the arm, meaning that she knows it exists, and may have seen it in action.

b) She has 'no doubt that he has succumbed to the power of the Plagas', indicating that it hasn't been confirmed on an empirical basis that Krauser actually has a Plagas.

In other words, the arm can't be due to a Plagas because she knows the arm exists, but doesn't know that Krauser has a Plagas.

Furthermore, the fact everyone other Plagas in the game is a parasite based around the spinal cord - Krauser's mutation is based around the arm - doesn't work out.

(Of course, this doesn't mean that Krauser doesn't have a Plagas, more than likely he does, for the reasons listed, but the arm has nothing to do with it.)

how do you increase health?

Mix the yellow herbs you find with those of another color. I've always made mine a combination of Red, Green, and Yellow, but I'm not sure if you can raise your health by just doing Yellow and Green.

That sounds good, nice job.
 
Also, if Krauser were under the control of the Plagas, then
Saddler wouldn't have to contemplate his betrayal. He could just control him.

The cutscenes were those PS2 non-realtime movies. Hence they look so oddly out of place.

i'm talking in the main game... are you?

i see that it was horribly unclear from what i wrote, but yeah, i was talking about during the maingame... not the FMV nastyness in seperate ways.

No, I was talking about SW. I didn't notice a disparity between the cutscenes and gameplay myself until I played SW.

I'm open to second opinions on the movie browser myself.

but in the very next sentence she says he was sent to work with the cult, past tense, implying that his arrival at the village could have been before Ada began observing him. her reports in general seem to be written "on site" right when the game is taking place.

yes, but they seemed to ditch that the more advanced the enemies became. Salazar was a plant, Saddler had the mutation starting from his groin, that monster in the cargo containers and Salazar's bodyguard didn't have any discernable parasite. neither did those grasshopper things. Regenerators had them in their torso.

didn't a file mention that control wasn't 100% foolproof. and I think even Saddler mentioned how his control over him was waning. and Leon managed to resist.

plus there's still the PRL 412, which doesn't work on non-plagas infected creatures like the crows but does on Krauser. and there's the blood and the rest of it too.

this seems the most logical to me.

and one of the files does indeed seem to indicate that control isn't always 100%. you get it not long before the final krauser fight, and it certainly seems to indicate that A: Krauser has a Las Plagas inside him and B: Saddler knows that all the same he can't trust him.

the design of the arm is to me Las Plagas as well, with the blade being like an extended version of that curved scythe that a lot of the las plagas infect have.

Uhhh....If you played any other RE games you'd recognize the arm as a Tyrant arm.
 
If anyone didn't noticed..

Krauser's arm was based on the original concept of RE4 on which Leon mutated and stuff, from the old trailers.

They hinted at the '4' logo being a teaser of his mutated form.
If you compare Krauser's arm to the '4' logo there's a similarity too.

not really. only in the fact that it's an arm. G-virus gave Birkin arm mutations too. Nemesis virus gave Nemmy tentacles on his arm. besides, Wesker wasn't infected with the T-virus so neither should Krauser be. and Wesker didn't have arm mutations either. arms are just a good place for claws and blades, and I think Capcom's art team has gotten used to doing them.

and as someone pointed out it has the same blade the Plagas/Ganado headpoppers do on the end of their tentacle.
 
To me it looked like more of a wing than a Tyrant arm.

His arm doesn't resemble the original Tyrant to me.

Plus, Saddler's staff kinda looked like Birkin's arm to be honest. I think the arm thing is just a coincidence...it's a good place to allow for swiping and stabbing.

Right. His arm in no way looking like a Tyrant Arm, or at least none from the 4 others we've seen in the past.

I'm envious of all the people experiencing this game for the first time on the Wii. I would have loved for this to be my first encounter with it.

Wow, do you play them all? And why do you collect? Excess money? If so, lend me some.:D

I've only played just about all of them from North America and Japan (not all of the PAL REs are at 60Hz). I just like collecting RE games for some reason. I don't recommend doing it though, it's a money drain. :lol :P

Does that mean you have similar collections of RE, RE2, RE3 and RE0. If so, WOW. Just with your RE4 collection you've almost exceeded what I've spent on games in my life. (I am only 18)

Edit: I forgot all of the RE spinoffs e.g. Code Veronica etc. Thats a lot of RE :0

Edit 2: Just thought I'd add this:
