Sounds Like a Great game... But No Fucking Zombies ??? whats the deal with that ?
Fuck it, i'll get it cuz of the name alone [img]smile.gif[/img]
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.

They changed it that much but still didn't fix the controls?
umm... I dunno the changes don't sound that appealing to me but we'll have to wait and see. I really liked having the zombies around. I just hope it's not another Dino Crisis 3
that sounds cool..........
......is it coming ONLY for the gamecube??
Where did that news come from?
Game Informer.
Wow. Thats a f-ing Cube game?? Sounds great! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Do you actually have the book or is is this info posted somewhere?
The reason I ask is because someone on another forum posted the same thing and it's validity is being questioned.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">From N-Philes.While most of America will not be getting their Game Informer magazines for a few days, if not more, N-Philes forum member Esty was lucky enough to have already gotten his copy, and shared the love on our very own boards. Many at first thought this might have been a hoax, but after confirmation by Game Informer, N-Philes feels confident enough to publish this information.
Resident Evil 4 will no longer use the fixed camera system that has been used in the past. Instead you will now play in one of three views, two of which are over the shoulder 3rd person views, and one of which is actually a first person view. At this time we do not know if the game characters can move in first person mode, or just shoot a la Metal Gear Solid 2. In what appears to be a first for videogames, the game will require a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio for the entire game. This makes the game best suited for HDTV?s and supports 480 progressive scan. Those with the 4:3 aspect ratio televisions are not out of luck. If your TV is not widescreen ready, you will simply play the game in letterbox with black bars on the bottom and top of the screen. The reason for this cinematic view comes by way of the 3rd person camera. The main character Leon evidentially takes up most of the left side of the screen, while the right side shows more of the environment. The special angles are said to give a FPS feeling to the game.
The graphics in the game will also be entirely in real time, with no pre-rendered backdrops, no door animations, and no FMV?s. The levels will be wide open and feature very few load times, but tons of zombie like villagers, who are said to be in a trance like state.
The much-revered and hated control scheme seems to still be intact in RE4. However, ?the new views make it feel like an entirely different game.? Despite the unchanged controls, the hub will be slightly different with both health ammo making their way on to the screen.
The post also mentions some story spoilers, so if you don?t want to know, don?t continue reading. Resident Evil 4 takes place 6 years after RE2 in the year 2004. Leon, the main character is hired to protect the President's daughter. Unfortunately for her she is kidnapped and taken to South America where Leon then must dispose of swarms of villagers to save the her. The enemies in RE4 are said to react to specific body damage (think Eternal Darkness), throw sharp objects, and are smart enough to even lead you into ambushes.

Ok that's the same place the other post referenced it to. Interesting, we'll have to wait and see.
