Resident Evil 4
I'm getting this god among games today. So far, I've heard no bad things about it; IGN gave it a 9.8/10. For those of you that have played it, is there anything I should know about it that will turn me off? Go ahead and rant about how godlike Resident Evil 4 is, too, cuz I sure will, when I get it.

I'll probably get it when the PS2 version comes out. Wouldn't this be called "Resident Evil 5"? I think they forgot about Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
I dunno if I'll play it that much, from what I heard it was very hard.
Didn't the previous REs have different difficulty levels? And I doubt anything can be harder than Viewtiful Joe.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
The previous RE games had difficulty levels. Code Veronic did not though.
I want to get this game so bad but I have way too much on my plate right now and since I am not in twn that means I can't play games every night to catch up. Only on the weekends.
From what I've played at work, it's freaking cool. I'm glad that bullets aren't such a commodity in this game either, since the things you kill actually drop them this time around.
I saw it months ago, on a website, and it looked really, really awesome. So I was bummed as hell when they announced it was just for Gamecube. So when I read in PSM they were releasing it for the PS2...I'll be getting it as soon as it comes out.
But I'm wondering---do you need to have played the other RE games to really understand this one?
Kind of. You can understand the main story of the game fine without having played the rest of the series. For what's going on on the side, playing the Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil Code Veronica (in that order) would be a good idea to get the plot, and are awesome games to boot. While you're at it, may as well play RE: 3 too. There are some massive spoilers after this point.
(SPOILER)There is a lot of talk about Wesker. I'm really hoping there's going to be a Resident Evil 5 because it's gotten my curiousity up about what he's doing nowadays. All I can tell from the game, primarily through the Operation Ada minigame, is that he's trying to restart Umbrella. Which is weird, since in the first game he betrayed them and in Code Veronica he was working for some company called HCF. Granted, I can easily believe he'd try to restart Umbrella if there was something in it for him, I just have no idea what could possibly be in it for him.
And despite the fact that there are no zombies, there still is one single T-Virus monster in the game: Krauser. There's no way he hasn't taken a hit of the T-Veronica virus.
All in all, awesome game. They changed a lot of stuff in this game to keep it fresh, but the final chapter regains a lot of the old Resident Evil feel.
Sig under construction.
This is an unbelievably amazing game. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time I played(played a total of 1 hour; definitely playing more than that tomorrow, though). It definitely blows every other survival horror game clear out of the water.

Super Christ
(SPOILER)If there are no T-Virus monsters in RE4 then what are those people chasing you in the game, are they normal humans who don't like you or zombies who have smarts?
(SPOILER)They have parasites in them that control their behavior (and, as they pointed out in the game and I looked up online to be sure, there really are parasites that can control their hosts behavior). These parasites are semi-intelligent and social, and so are able to take commands. The Lord Saddler that the villagers mumble about is at the top of the parasites heirarchy, and so basically mind controls all the villagers.
And why Wesker wants a sample of these parasites is because the fact that the parasites are altering their hosts behavior, rather than killing them and reanimating them, so they retain some intelligence and are able to take orders; perfect for a bio-weapon. The only thing the T-Virus has on these parasites is that it spreads easily, while these parasites must be physically injected.
Like I said; I hope there's going to be a Resident Evil 5 - while Wesker's motives for wanting the parasite are clear (could easily be developed into a bioweapon), the reasons he wants to restart Umbrella are not since he betrayed them in the first game to the highest bidder.
Sig under construction.
So, after I finish up Xenogears, I should be buying this game immediately, right?
Absolutely.
Yep, it's another (SPOILER)Come to think of it, I also wonder what Wesker did with Sherry Birkin; if I recall correctly from Wesker's Report, he kidnapped her at the end of Resident Evil 2.
can someone tell me what happened to Claire Redfield? I don't have RE: Code Veronica, and why isn't she in RE4?...
Well, the RE persons seems to be taking turns with being the hero/heroine.Originally Posted by UKG
And as to what happened to Claire Redfield in Code veronica X: (SPOILER)Nothing.
For those of you that are planning on getting this, I must warn you: this game is extremely difficult.
