Hero-of-Time Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 *runs upstairs to get copy of ONM* It got 94% with the pros and cons as follows... PROS Stunning presentation and direction Improved control system Decent Extra Content Sumptuous art and graphics CONS Its a 2 year old game. I packed my Wii away recently as I hadnt played on it properly since Mario Strikers weekend but this game will be the one to motivate me to set it all back up again.

Hero-of-Time Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Thank god for that! Dont worry bud, I aint going anywhere.
Hellfire Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 CONS Its a 2 year old game. Wow, they're really smart, I never thought of that.
McMad Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Wow, they're really smart, I never thought of that. That's a fair enough con, why should we be getting re-releases and ports instead of actual games, this trend on the Wii is really starting to take the piss.
Shyguy Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Might have to give this a buy since i missed it on the cube but atm nothing can stop me from wow and strikers at the same time
Hellfire Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 That's a fair enough con, why should we be getting re-releases and ports instead of actual games, this trend on the Wii is really starting to take the piss. That's true, but what I said is also true. A good way to put the con is "people might have already played the game 2 years ago". Cause I don't care if a game is 2 years old if I haven't played it already. Which isn't the case. It's not like ports and re-releases aren't actual games, I mean, people complained that GC didn't get ports, now that Wii gets them people complain too. It's not like there aren't Wii exclusive games.
RedShell Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 I had completely settled against getting this, then I made the mistake of playing the GameCube version yesterday... Damn, I've played through it so many times already but that opening section in the village it just reminded me of how good it is, I really need to play Separate Ways now! So yeah, I've caved-in. But as spot-on as aiming with the Wii Remote looks I'm still not sure how I'm going to get on with it, the cursor looks a bit annoying (I actually got annoyed with the one in Zelda too so ended up switching it off for most of the game) wish it was possible to change it back to the laser sight. I mean, people complained that GC didn't get ports, now that Wii gets them people complain too.Bloody good point, there's just no pleasing some people.
Speedfreak Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 people complained that GC didn't get ports No, people complained that GC got shitty ports.
McMad Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Bloody good point, there's just no pleasing some people. My bad I should've said cheap ports is what the Wii doesn't need, when we get games like Madden 2007 which actually plays better than the version it was ported from then that's great. It wasn't ports that the Gamecube didn't get, it didn't get multi-platform releases, and this only started to happen around 2004, when the Cube didn't get games like Burnout 3 and Star Wars Battlefront, and then slowly other titles started to disappear in 2005 and by 2006 the Gamecube was very dead. When I say I don't want cheap re-makes or ports I mean stuff like many of the titles Ubisoft has produced and to some extent EA too with titles like NFS: Carbon and Medal of Honour Vangaurd. Not to be saying Resident Evil 4 on the Wii is a bad thing either, I can't wait to play an even greater version of one of the best games ever, but I still I would like very much if developers upgraded their ports from inferior consoles and made them play well or made completely new games, because in the end those will be the games I'll buy and should be bought by everyone else.
darksnowman Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Yeah I was thinking that on shelves this summer alongside such games as Godfather, Scarface and Manhunt... the Wii is gonna be looking like not just another kiddy Nintendo console with added waggle. Maybe I'm being blind but... any reviews online of Resi 4?
triforcemario Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 The newest Norwegian GAME magazine has this game listed as a full price title. Hope it's wrong. It's wrong. I was on the spanish GAME website (the game store, that is), and it had RE4 for Wii listed for 35 euros.

You're right about that, but it happens with every console and Wii is very well positioned for something like this happen, cause it's not very powerful. At least we get stuff like Madden, Scarface,Godfather and DBZ. It wasn't ports that the Gamecube didn't get, it didn't get multi-platform releases, and this only started to happen around 2004, when the Cube didn't get games like Burnout 3 and Star Wars Battlefront, and then slowly other titles started to disappear in 2005 and by 2006 the Gamecube was very dead. Well, multiplatform titles are ports in a way. But I don't really care as long as good games keep coming, cause unfortunately people like buying crappy games and seeing the shelves full help sales. Yeah I was thinking that on shelves this summer alongside such games as Godfather, Scarface and Manhunt... the Wii is gonna be looking like not just another kiddy Nintendo console with added waggle.? Totally disagree. Red Steel, Zelda, Manhunt, Godfather,Scarface,Far Cry, CoD, MoH,RE4,RE:UC,... It surely has a lot of.. sigh... "mature" titles.
darksnowman Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Heyheyhey, Hellfire. I'm not arguing! I said its not looking like a kiddy console! Not that I'm worried whether we get those games or not actually, but I was making the observation that early in the Wii's life there are some quality games to choose from. And games that involve gore and all that stuff that consumers clammer for.

darksnowman Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Ah ok, when you said you totally disagreed... no worries, something musta just got lost in translation there. : peace: Totally disagree. Red Steel, Zelda, Manhunt, Godfather,Scarface,Far Cry, CoD, MoH,RE4,RE:UC,... It surely has a lot of.. sigh... "mature" titles.
Hellfire Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Yeah, I read it wrong. Didn't read a no or not :P eheh
Gizmo Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Keeping myself away from buying a used copy of the GC version of this game (I missed so many good games last gen, got so much into PC gaming :p). Can't wait for this.
Zechs Merquise Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Does anyone know if it has both the Ada sections, the GC one and the PS2 one?
LazyBoy Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Well wasn't the PS2 version just a massive extension of the GC one? So i'm guessing it has both.
Goron_3 Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 The PS2 version was the full Ada quest; the GC only had assignment ada. This will have both.
evad_lhorg Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 What im worried about is getting a ps2 port with the lesser graphics.
James McGeachie Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Well we already know that's not the case so don't worry.
canocha Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 During Ada extra from PS2 the cutscenes are FMV, but during gameplay its GC engine again.. oh well.
Zechs Merquise Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 The PS2 version was the full Ada quest; the GC only had assignment ada. This will have both. Thanks During Ada extra from PS2 the cutscenes are FMV, but during gameplay its GC engine again.. oh well. Did they rebuild the Ada sections using GC graphics? I'm enquiring mainly as that would be the new content I was buying the game for
