Tellyn Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I'm pretty mad atm. My copy of RE4 still has not come in! I ordered it a few days before launch and still not here! Even you guys will probably be able to play it before I do. Europe may be screwed over a hell of a lot, but now the tables have turned.
Gio001 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Resi 4 Wii top of US charts for it's first week. Nice!!
Mokong Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Haha, in the excitement thinking about RE4:Wii i went looking through the N-E archives and found a Preview I wrote for RE4 for the GC in Feb 2004, just after it was revealed how the game was changed after the RE3.5 ideas were canned, and i forgot that at the end of the review i go into some ideas of what might happen in the game and how Umbrella might still be involved (you might remember the whole "no Umbrella" thing was a massive shock to RE fans at the time... still is actually, in fact even though I think RE4 is a great "game", I actually don't class it as a "main story" RE game.), some of my "theories" sounded plausible, but none of them actually happened. http://www.n-europe.com/preview.php?prid=137&page=3
Zechs Merquise Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Resi 4 Wii top of US charts for it's first week. Nice!! is that confirmed? If so lets hope it tops the monthly chart and makes Capcom realise how importnat the Wii market is.
Ashley Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I've had a few people ask me so just to clarify Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition is £30 in Game. Not a "go buy it in Game" message, just because people have asked.

Not a "go buy it in Game" message' date=' just because people have asked.[/quote'] Thats where im getting it from come Friday morning as I have £30 credit to spend in there. I really wanted to get it from gameplay but I thought I might aswell use my credit up.
Aalborg Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 well this is going for full price here in denmark so ill be patient and wait untill it gets cheaper or I find it cheap enough on the net.. but's it's typical.. one shop here even tried to sell that Zelda compliation disc that you got free at one time.. for full price.. even though it said "not for retail" on the cover.. he he i dropped nintendo a mail about that one.. I was just so pissed
YanRuo Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Just wondering... what's the price of the game for you people? I got it for 38,90€ at play.com while I was buying a WiiMote Power Station, and considered it a good deal. Was it really or is it cheap because it's an 'old' game?

I got it for 38,90€ at play.com while I was buying a WiiMote Power Station, and considered it a good deal. Was it really or is it cheap because it's an 'old' game? I got it for £25 from play.com. It's a few pounds cheaper in some places, but I prefer play.
YanRuo Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I'm pretty sure I made a good choice then. The local stores tend to just slap a 50€ price tag to anything they see. EDIT: Oh, I just realised a cool thing yesterday. I bought RE3 a couple weeks ago (I know, I've been missing out), and on one of the streets there was a cinema. In front of the cinema there was a poster for, apparently a movie, "Biohazard 4". Now that I saw it again, I realised the '4' in the poster is the exact same 4 as in the Wii RE4 front cover. And the Wii edition, as far as I know, is the one called 'Biohazard'. IT MUST BE FATE~

IT MUST BE FATE~ Biohazard is the Japanese name for Resident Evil. Anyway. The box is nice. The disk is lovely. Time to play. Edit: Damn. Stupid villagers put a ladder up behind me. Heared the chainsaw, turned around. Too late. And I don't remember that many villagers ganging up in front at me at once. Controls work wonderfully - shooting is very quick. And accurate. Headshots aplenty. sing the D-pad + B allows for quick 90 degree turns, too (like the C-stick). Shooting works well with hold B and pressing A, and guns now work at a decent range. Seems less blurry, too, now it's proper fullscreen. And shooting crows FTW.
YanRuo Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Glad to hear the game works that well. The reason I'm waiting for this game is that I've always been a die-hard fan of those arcade light-gun shooting games. Wii is my first console since NES, and with the WiiMotes how they are, a game like this was bound to come up sooner or later. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles will show some more traditional 'on-the-rails' shooting, later this year.

Sounds good , unfortunately it appears that despite having a day off tomorrow , my postie has given himself an extra day today (the one downside to internet shopping).
evad_lhorg Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 ive had this since yesterday. still havnt bothered to turn on my wii though
RedShell Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Just got up to El Gigante, I'm actually really enjoying playing this again. Controls are really simple, had the turning / aiming thing down after a few minutes, (although I've managed to get in a muddle a couple of times when I was surrounded ) I like how the knife now kind of auto-aims to boxes and stuff, very handy. You can still manually aim it by the way. Using the Wii Remote in the action scenes is also really cool, reckon people that are completely new to the game will definitely get an extra kick out of it. The game looks great in 480p, but here comes the bad news... The 16:9 isn't quite as "true" as they've been making it out to be. Yep, I was pretty disappointed to discover that it doesn't fill the entire screen (there's about an inch either side, like Excite Truck) still it's better than the 16:9 within a 4:3 frame of the GCN game as you don't have to use the TV's zoom feature which means it looks a lot sharper. Playing on Normal mode right now but it seems to be a little bit harder than I remember on the GCN version, or maybe it's just I'm out of practice. Anyway, can't wait to unlock Separate Ways! :awesome:

Maverick Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Got my copy today just got in from work play rocks for getting it to me early they sent me it twice though hmmm cant wait to play too bad i got a staff dinner to attend tonight though.
Caris Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 what the fuck is this tripe? seriously, you guys can see Graphics don't matter but this game on a HDTV looks terrible, i think i'm gonna trade it back in. The jaggys are so bad it's almost unplayable...
