New screens from the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4

[TomO]

Pro-G (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/) has posted new PS2 Resident Evil 4 screens (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/media/screens/100/0/) that include images of Leon's new PS2 exclusive weapon, the P.R.L. 412.


Release Date: 11/08/2005 (PS2 (http://www.gametab.com/ps2/resident.evil.4/3581/))

I feel bad for anyone who passed up on the GameCube version for this...

The texture work feels decidedly PS1.

I feel bad that the game was wasted on you if you think the graphics are more important than the gameplay.

Lol... RE4 for PS2 looks suprisingly good actually.
However if you are a nintendo fanboy who never was and will be laid your post is understandable...

i hate N fanbois as much as the next forum whiner. but that just didn't make sense.

Aha then tell me why the following sentence makes any more sense:
"The texture work feels decidedly PS1."

Pathetic...

[H.Bogard]

Pathetic...

your username?

anyway....leave him alone man....he only criticized the graphics (rightfully so if i might add) and i think he has the right to do so, if you disagree then back yourself up with some reason instead of scream "omg youve never been laid lol!" because seriously....if he were a 13 year old he could easily retort "omg atleast i didnt get layed with another MAN"

i`m neither a ps2 fanboy nor have i ever played anything on a gamecube....so please dont flame me :(

[TrackZero]

He just stated how bad he feels for people not playing the game, which came out on a superior platform first is all.

[TrackZero]

That new gun seems oldly out of place with the setting. I hope you can only aquire it after beating the game and getting to play through it again with better hardware.

[El Gato]

Okay, everybody cool down - think about kittens or something.

As for the screenshots; they're a lot better than I would have thought. But a plasma gun??!

[HumpYourWay]

Talking about pathetic nicknames? How about H.Bogard

you seem like a person without a spine...

And all because of this worthless sentence:
"The texture work feels decidedly PS1."

I mean that sentence feels dicidedly like that of an angry N fanboy who just cant take the fact that RE4 is also released on the PS2 (as old as the hardware is right now). However at least they release RE4 with true anamorphic widescreen on the PS2 instead of the lame letterboxed mode on the Cube which they used to reduce the vertical resolution so the framerate doesnt get too choppy on the "superior" gamecube hardware, LOL

[HumpYourWay]

"on a superior platform"

LOOOOL

[Cupelix]

LOOOOL People like this are the reason censorship was invented.

I'm all for PS2 getting a version of RE4. Its a great game that deserves to reach people that don't own a GameCube.

[Melvin556]

Actually, if you look at Camalot's postings in the past you will see that he is definately a Nintendo fanboy. Most of his posts are the DS and Gamecube are great while the PS2 and PSP sucks

Let's see, you counter someone you claim as being a Nintendo fanboy by being a Sony fanboy is response?

Seriously, grow up. At least the first post was about technical merits alone. You seem to be unable to make any post without throwing around insults like a little kid.

Anyways, if the screenshots are any indication as to how the final game will look, the game does look significantly better on the GC than it will look on the PS2. But then again, pretty much any cross-platform title looks the worst on the PS2, so there is no real surprise there.

RE4 is a great game. If only Nintendo could get more games like that pushed out the door.

[Kamalot]

I assume the gameplay is intact in the port. Having said that, why on earth would anyone want a version with 8-bit texture maps and noticeably fewer polygons than the original?

[Paltry]

you guys are all stupid and i hate you

Holy crap, Kamalot's being bashed today. I'm a Nintendo fan, but people that couldnt play the GC version should be ecstatic. I dont feel bad for them. It's a good chance for PS2 owners, actually.

That being said, if you don't own a GC in the first place, you have no excuse. THOSE are the people I feel bad for.

[Borys]

I'm in an even better situation. After beating GC RE4 2 times I WILL buy and beat the PS2 version because it has, *gasp* - new content and you can't beat that.

I couldn't care less about graphical details - all console games look like crap next to my PC games but I don't play them for graphics in the first place so I learned to live with it.

NEW CONTENT, people.
Not "worse 8-bit PS1 era textures and crap polygon counts".

[EvilBob46]

Release Date: 11/08/2005 (GCN, PS2)

It's coming to Gamecube too?

Borys, seriously, all fanboyism aside here, one basic point.

- You're going to rebuy a title you already own to play it on lesser graphical hardware all so you can have a single new weapon to shoot with?

Wow. Dude, that's bad.

LOOOOL

Go back to Gamefaqs. We don't use "lol" and "omg" on this forum.

Wow. Dude, that's bad.

Yeah and that's not that bad.
I want to support the dev. that made this excellent game. The same way I did by buying that POS Deus Ex 1 game for the PS2 (every little sale counts).

However if it wasn't for the new stuff (and that's not one weapon mind you) I wouldn't but, hey, Capcom is smarter than that.

[HumpYourWay]

Let's see, you counter someone you claim as being a Nintendo fanboy by being a Sony fanboy is response?

Sorry but I own all three consoles and beat RE4 on the cube (one of the very few cube games by the way that was worth it to fire up the cube again and I think thats the reason why all these N fanboys react quite hostile and distressed about the fact that their holy grail is comming to PS2 (not to think about the next installement in the series that avoids the Revolution completely, lol).


Seriously, grow up. At least the first post was about technical merits alone. You seem to be unable to make any post without throwing around insults like a little kid.

techincal merits alone. sorry but you are quite a joker. read his post again the tone and all... Writing weak shit like "PS1 textures". sorry his post was cheap and he got what he deserved...
by the way you are talking about technical merits. Why did you ignore the fact then that RE4 on PS2 is in widescreen and thus featuring a higher vertical resolution compared to the Cube version which was in letterbox format which almost halfed the normal vertical resolution (guess they had to do that in order to keep the framerate up). There you have it....


Anyways, if the screenshots are any indication as to how the final game will look, the game does look significantly better on the GC than it will look on the PS2.

Hahaha. Significantly is defintiely overexaggerated. (and remember the widescreen)

[Bone]

It does look better on the Cube, which makes YOU the fanboy if you even argue against it. And to laugh when someone points out which hardware is superior- it's fairly common knowledge that Xbox > Gamecube > PS2 when it comes to pure hardware performance.

[Heretic Machine]

Yeah and that's not that bad.
I want to support the dev. that made this excellent game. The same way I did by buying that POS Deus Ex 1 game for the PS2 (every little sale counts).

Dude... it was made by Capcom. You don't really need to worry about "supporting the dev." Go buy a few copies of Psychonaughts or somthing.

Oh, and to the stupid Sony-bitch who has been filling this post with his keyboard vomit: Get a clue, if you only own the PS2 then you are gaming on inferior hardware. Either accept it, or get new hardware.

[EGO]

Looks like crap and I'm no Nintendo fanboy. I've got all (and I mean ALL) systems and play PC games too and it looks like crap compared to the GC version.

And YES, the graphics DO make a difference. The graphics are one of the draws to the damn'd game to begin with! One of the reasons people are willing to overlook the TONS OF BUGS in the game is because of how it looks.

Take away the pretty and I'm going to start noticing everytime the camera goes through a wall, characters clip through each other, AI that's stupidly standing around, waiting to be woken up or walking into each other and of course, the ever-obscure room that's clearly just some designers trap room and has no place in any real building.

I still love the game and its one of my favs from last year, but lets ALL stop being fanboys.

[Borys]

Dude... it was made by Capcom. You don't really need to worry about "supporting the dev." Go buy a few copies of Psychonaughts or somthing.

I did (PC version).

I even bought Killer 7, which disappointed me :(

All beacuse I'm waiting for my Street Fighter 4!

You hear me, Crapcom?

[51|RandoM]

I feel bad that the game was wasted on you if you think the graphics are more important than the gameplay.

I feel sorry for people who don't understand that graphics quality is part of the gameplay.

[IndependentGMR]

I'm going to sound like a fat nerd here, but it's not a plasma gun. It's a laser. And if you actually played the GameCube version there is a perfectly good reason for it being a laser. Plus, it fits perfectly into the setting. Play the second disc in the GameCube version, and you'll see.

[Paltry]

man these threads are always the worst

i can understand when people jabber irrationaly over polotics or something but people, I cant imagine why you are still hung up on console vs console bullshit

lets grow up and find something else to be childish about

[Zurik]

Let's get to the real difference between the PS2 and the Gamecube version: slowdown. I only worry because I can't remember a single slowdown point when I played through the GC version, but Colosseum, a game with less graphics than RE4, has some significant slowdown, and it hurts the gameplay. Other than that, new weapons sounds good. Won't be buying the same game twice though.

[RevGored]

Here's some basic points -

Game doesn't look as good as Cube
Game plays the same, which is great, because the game is awesome
Game has a LASER GUN
There will be people buying the game for the express opportunity of firing the LASER GUN
Some people like Nintendo, some people like Sony
Few people like Microsoft

That is all ;)

[Paltry]

WTF NO WAY dpood xbox is the fucking shitbox

it ownz those faggot cude and opoop station x10

[Paltry]

...forever

[Dracula-X]

The shots look great, and it is excellent that this awesome game can be enjoyed by those who don't have or don't plan to get a Cube. The graphical difference appears to be marginal at best (not too surprising considering this game was originally designed and destined for the PS2, before that idea got nixed)

If you have both a Cube and PS2 and don't care for the new ps2 version's content, get the Cube version and enjoy.

If have a PS2 only, enjoy this great game, it kicks ass.

Fanboys, die already </heston mode>

[TheBrainKills]

Lol... RE4 for PS2 looks suprisingly good actually.
However if you are a nintendo fanboy who never was and will be laid your post is understandable...

I was reading the thread getting a good chuckle out of it, thinking that it couldn't look that bad ....then I looked at the screen shots. Well, somebody did whack it with the ugly stick.

Unless your looking at them on 14" monitor you should be able to see that.

So I will attempt to translate your quote:

Lol... ( Lollipop )

RE4 for PS2 looks suprisingly good actually. (Yes I know the PS2 takes years of development and highly skilled programmers to look God of War good, and Capcom doesn't have the time.)

However if you are a nintendo fanboy who never was and will be laid your post is understandable... (Please don't slight my PS2 or I will lash out at you with some nonsense.)

[dr_qwandry]

See I have both consoles, so I will see if the PS2 version has anything new that would change anything. Or any problems that I should know about then go from there.

[H.Bogard]

you seem like a person without a spine...

and you without a brain........................sorry i couldnt help it

I might not have a spine but i do have a KICK ASS PC

[Pumped'Up]

wow, looks fantastic....and surprisingly even better than the GC version.

now with the superior graphics out of the way, I just hope the load times are just as quick as the GC version.

Actually, the official release date is Oct 25/05 (see Sony website)

Can't wait.

[Kelegacy]

Oh, and to the stupid Sony-bitch who has been filling this post with his keyboard vomit: Get a clue, if you only own the PS2 then you are gaming on inferior hardware. Either accept it, or get new hardware.

I dont like to think of the PS2 as inferior hardware. I dont think of the PS1 right now as inferior hardware. Inferior is a word that has a negative connotation. You could say that yes, the PS2 components arent as up-to-date as Xbox's (then again, the PS2 came out before the Xbox...a couple years more if you count Japan, almost) but that doesnt really mean anything, does it? It still continues to spit out quality games, despite the restrictions of the system's capabilities.

Calling the PS2 inferior now would be like calling the Xbox 360 inferior in March '05.

Dude. I've pretty much allowed your one-sided views slip by in the past (I am a Sony fan, too, but not a fanboy) but to say that the PS2 looks better than the GC version means you havent seen the GC version. I bet the PS2 version looks good in motion...but it cant compete with it's GC counterpart.

If you call the PS2 RE4 prettier than the GC version, you'll just stir up the hornets nest in this thread once more. People are pretty touchy about their console loyalties. They wont always admit it, but they're there and obvious to everyone else.

[Kamalot]

Here is a great idea for everyone who wants to play this game but does not have a GameCube.

Don't settle for the PS2 version. Buy a used GameCube (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/216617.asp) ($59.99) and a copy of Resident Evil 4 (http://www.computers4sure.com/product.asp?productid=2655909&affid=10000483) ($37.95). When done with the game, trade them back in or sell them on eBay. You'll get more than $60 for the pair. Total cost will be cheaper than buying Resident Evil 4 for the Playstation and playing the full-quality original is PRICELESS!

Save Money + Play Best Version of RE4 = Smart Move!

Ya but then u own a gaycube am i rite guyzzzzzzzzzz

[AversionFX]

Holy crap, you people are stupid.

The graphics look subpar after playing through the GC version.

You people are so quick to jump on the "OMG HE IS A FANBOIII!!!" Get a fucking life and just put your thoughts and stop starting flame wars, holy shit. It's gaming news, and yet you all act like a bunch of fucking kids.

[Nessus]

"not too surprising considering this game was originally designed and destined for the PS2, before that idea got nixed)"


Actually, it never left the planning stages before Nintendo secured GameCube "exclusivity".

The early version, which was totally scrapped in favor of the more action-oriented, dynamic camera version that was released, was built from the ground up for GameCube as well.

I'm moderately interested in what bonuses might be included in the PS2 version, but honestly I find it a bit painful looking at those screenshots. I don't really care about widescreen cause I don't have a widescreen television. So really all I see is worse textures, and lack of anti-aliasing, which in my opinion made the GameCube version.

Either way, it's an excellent game and I'm looking forward to RE5 (in fact it's the only game announced for PS3/360 that interests me thus far).

Yep. Got the story, thanks (Read some stuff with Shinji Mikami)

The early version, which was totally scrapped in favor of the more action-oriented, dynamic camera version that was released, was built from the ground up for GameCube as well.
The early version became Devil May Cry interestingly enough.

I can certainly understand that, but this is a version for those who don't or would otherwise never own a Cube. The Cube wins with it's filtering, but honestly, the game doesn't look anywhere near as bad as some are claiming. On the PS2 side this is helped by the lack of "vibrant" settings, everything is in the same rusty palette, something the venerable PS2 can make do with. To me anyway, it looks *way* better then I expected. I'm tempted to pick this one up now, not only for the new content but for comparisons :)

Either way, it's an excellent game and I'm looking forward to RE5 (in fact it's the only game announced for PS3/360 that interests me thus far).
I'm with you on that one, it's an awesome game, one of the shining reasons that makes owning a Cube a necessity. But now the PS2 folks can get a crack at it, and I think it's fair they can enjoy it too. Mikami was burned, but that's another story (I think Capcom is looking out for it's own interests as well, and PS2 is where the money is at, for this last generation). RE5 will likely be a must-have for either PS3/360 :)
