I gotta play the demo. Man, that scared the hell outta me, and it was in the store.

I was looking at a box, and some dude just comes up and stabs me. WTF? I mean, I know I just blew creepy old dudes head off, but in all fairness he tried to kill me with an axe.

The controls are STILL sucktastic though. Capcom, you suck. But the game looks... just. Yeah. It's really stunning. Cept the jaggies. That bothers me. It just feels creepy. Not the same "i'm gonna get eaten by flesh eating zombies" but more of a Metroid creepy, where you're all alone and no one's there to help you creepy.

As fun as the remake is, it has nothing on RE4.

I suggest playing RE2 and RE: Nemesis before this, because you probably won't know the characters any other way.

Unhappy

Would you not put a spoiler warning before you write the names, I didn't think you were gonna actually say who they were so I kept reading.

Well, considering that any website you go to that has pics shows Ada...

I don't look at pictures because they spoil the game. I didn't look at a single San Andreas picture before I bought the game, I'm very picky about things being spoiled. Another example, the Star Wars episode 3 trailer came on in the cinema, so I pulled my hat down over my eyes and covered my ears. I don't care if people thing that's weird, I don't want things spoiled for me. Is it really that hard to write *spoilers*??

well, it's like me in that Metroid Prime 2 thread. If I didn't want ANYTHING spoiled, I wouldn't have gone in there.

I haven't really had the chance to see the previews for the RE4. A few of my friends have told me that what they have seen is totally great. I haven't had the chance to finish RE: Nemisis, but I have beaten RE1 and RE2 multiple times. I absolutly adore the game...the only realy problem I have is the controls are a bit of a pain. Does anyone know if they are going to change that in the fourth one?

I thought it would be a discussion about how cool the game is gonna be, maybe a few things revealed but nothing big, not a "here's all the surprises in the game without posting that it's a spoiler" thread.

About the controls:

Leon is, as a norm, in a jogging state. You use the B button to run.

You use the Analog to control Leon, so this is unlike the other games.

Although in the short instances you control Ashlee GMR states that you have to revert to Old school controls.

R trigger is to pull out the gun, A button to fire.

L trigger to pull out the big ass knife, A to use it.

Some other stuff from GMR:*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

-There's somewhere around 25 hours plus gameplay.
-Recieved a 10 out of 10 on the rating scale (Halo 2 didn't even get ten.)

There's more but I'll post it later.

Doesn't sound to bad. I know manuverability was always an issue in the older ones.

As for ratings...wow...I'm definatly going to check it out now.

If you wanted nothing at all spoiled, then why come into the thread at all? You should have known you'd get spoiled one way or another.

Now, Nintendo needs to get on with hyping the game up. Or at least Capcom needs to. I haven't seen any TV ads for it yet. This game better push at least half a million at launch.

IGN gave RE4 a 9.8. Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a wimp.

I was able to play the demo at some game shop, and I really like this game, Im not really into the resident evil stuff, saw the movies, they were ok.
But damn I just might have to pick this one up.
