RE4 is one of and still is one of the best games ever made. I was one of those who thought getting away from the cinematic cameras from the others was a bad move but after playing it (when it was still new), I found out that the change was not a bad decision.

Like someone said, it's more a shooter than a horror game. Maybe it can be compared to Serious Sam. Last edited by JemyM; 02-09-2007 at 01:15 AM. |

I don't know... I enjoyed it, but its focus is on action, not horror, and that's also the case with RE4.

Actually, that's what I said, it is just a shooter placed in a dark environment. |

And when I say an action game is great, you ought to listen, since I find most action games annoying and pointless. But if you've got expectations of it being a survival horror game, you're not going to be satisfied. |

1. Spooky or disturbing areas 2. Spooky or disturbing cutscenes or flashbacks 3. Bizarre images flashing over the screen to scare you 4. Many "something just ran past that doorway" or "wtf was that?" scenes 5. Video monitors that you can look into that often shows another scenery than what you see in "real life". 6. Many "wham" scares and spooky music to keep you on the edge While it's an actiongame it have also put alot of effort into being scary using every cliché in the book. Blending action+horror is nothing new really, the question is only how far you go. F.E.A.R and Condemned was creepy but they were also action games / first person shooters. In the beginning of RE4 there's a scene in which you see a shadow inside the house or someone watching the policeman who go out to pee. That's good stuff. It's just not enough of it to make you feel uneased and the gamestuff like sparkling chests of goldcoins or minigames that have nothing to do with building horror does remove the game from the horror and the story and what's left is basicly an action game like you say.

RE4 also employs some horror elements (maybe different kinds of horror, but still horror) so how is that a differentiator?

Ohwell, I do not know if I make any sense or not. I guess I am dissappointed because people tend to mention the Resident Evil series when talking about scary games and I have not seen it yet. |

Half-Life 1 is a science-fiction game.
But never mind, let's leave it at that, I don't feel like arguing over any of this either.

They do, because they are scary. I don't know, if you played RE1, but it is much more scary, than Undying or something similar. As well as RE2 or RE0. And my friend refused to play it, because he was too scared. |

I played some Resident Evil 2 but dropped it since I wanted to finish RE1 before I got too far and then I just forgot about both. I believe this was back in 2002-2003 so it is awhile ago now. |

Well, Metroid not at all, there is enough 3D shooters for PC and besides, without mouse, it sucks big time. Sanity's Requiem, I don't know, never heard of it. And Zelda came bundled with GC so I played it, it was ok, but in my opinion, Ocarina of Time was much better |

I wonder if the system requirements are still the same. DirectX9.0 video card and all. Never mind that the game looks like running on DirectX7.0 technology all the way. I don't think anyone was expecting something like Shader2.0 whatever support, but practically annihilating all the light sources and thus the illusion of depth that was present on the other machines, on top of making it look like crap with this, that's puzzling. And then you can apparently see enemies coming from a mile... No fog, no darkness, just the same drab shades of ugly brown. Maybe they couldn't get to work everything in time. The port wasn't made by Konami itself, as far as I know.

Your choice. Who would've thought of this? Seems like buying a Cube with the game would be a better option, since it's not that much more expensive at this point anymore. I think I'll either wait until the first emulator is out that can handle the game or play it on my brother's PS2. Quote:
