Turn back now in case you don't want to know about the games. I didn't see a thread about it so I guess it's ok to make this thread.

1. They game can be played in first person or one of two new views. They are basically slight variations on a close third person camera.
2. It must be viewed in widescreen. If your tv doesn't support the 16:9 aspect ratio, the game will feature black bars on top and bottom of the screen to make sure you experience the game to its fullest on a 4:3 monitor. HDTV users, the game supports 480 progressive scan. This is needed because,...
3. In 3rd person, Leon fills the far left side of the screen. It feels like you are playing a first person shooter even withour Leon on the screen.
4. Controls are them same as before. However, health and ammo will now be onscreen.
5. Even with the old controls, the new views make it feel like an entirely different game.

Now for story:SPOILERS!!!!!

1. RE4 takes place in 2004, 6 years after RE2.
2. Umbrella is gone and with them,...the zombies.
3. Leon is hired by the president to guard his daughter. Before he can take the job, she is kidnapped and taken to a village in south america where all the villagers hunt him down in an eerie trance.
4. The worlds are completely wide open.
5. No more door animations or pre-rendered cutscenes. Everything is done in-engine.
6. Areas feature a few very brief loadtimes.
7. Enemies will react to damage done to them in places. Shooting an enemie in the foot will make them hobble.
8. Villagers are armed with sickles, axes, pitchforks, and many more sharp objects.Which they can throw at you. These are not mindless zombies.
9. You can shoot the thrown objects out of the air. If you time it right.
10. There is an action button. For instance, you can shoot an enemie and then quickly close the gap and kick them in the chest. Also to move objects in front of doors to keep villagers from you. Also to puch a ladder full of enemies off from you and more.
11. In a later level, you are in complete darkness and unable to see anything until the moonlight illuminates the villagers.
12. The villagers are smart. In later levels they get smarter. For instance, if you shoot at one, it won't continue to go towards you. It may run away and if you follow him, it could purposefully lead you to an area where 6 more await with bow guns. They are more human.

In the levels the play, the action was intense with many villagers after them. This was just the begining of the game.

There are plenty of photos and the game looks amazing. They say it is easily the best looking cube game yet.

That's it folks. Sorry for any spelling mistakes. I'll post the info on killer 7 later.

My first impressions :
- Where is the evil? Villagers? Wuuuht?
- The new perspectives sound great.
- The control scheme will actually be appropriate to this RE (due to the new perspective)
- Seems interesting to me (the first one I've been really interested in since RE2)

I take it you will be able to strafe though, right? I don't know if they put that into the later games, haven't played them.

Replacing the zombies with humans in an eerie trance sounds a bit weird, but at least they are finally trying to advance the series. Almost sounds like they have actually been listening to gamers

NO.

If there was one thing that should never be changed about Resident Evil, it's the Zombies.

Sounds to me like they are trying to make "Resident Manhunt Evil"

Failure.

Haven't even seen it, or played it, and I never will...no zombies means they will not get adam taylors money. NO SIR, I DON'T LIKE IT.

Didn't they remove the dinosaurs from Dino Crisis? Is so then the zombies never stood a chance, they aren't even mentioned in the title. As long as there is some kind of resident evil they are pretty much covered.

Tosser00 · 02-13-2004, 01:19 AM

But I could've swore I remember reading in a previous preview that Leon actually gets bit by a zombie and slowly transforms into one throughout the storyline. Hmmm...

Last time I checked Dino Crisis 3 had dinosaurs in it....they were space mutant dinosaurs...but they were still dinosaurs.

Zombies and Resident Evil go hand in hand, take them out...and all you've got is another 3rd person action/shooter.....the Zombies are what set resident evil apart from all the copycat titles.

Tosser00 · 02-13-2004, 01:24 AM

WAIT A MINUTE! Maybe the reason why you're avoiding VILLAGERS is because you ARE A ZOMBIE! Yep, there it is. I solved the case. What do I win, Johnny?

The villagers wouldn't need to be in an eerie trance if you were a zombie. I wouldn't have thought so, anyway, can't actually say I've studied the way South American villagers react to zombie threats...
