I want CG movies based off the novelizations of the games by S.D. Perry

That would be pretty cool, hell they pretty much have a script lol

 

[CTCurry99]

I've actually got all of the books she wrote, but I didn't pick up the movie books. (I liked the movies, but I'm really excited for an actual in-game based movie.) I wish they'd do a book based on 4, but what can you do!?!?

 

[Matt Mortem]

You know what would be badass as an RE game. Do something based on the UBCS guys, those mercenaries working for Umbrella. They could do it up like Call of Duty 4, stick the UBCS soldiers in zombie infested areas and have em complete missions like retrieval of intel or VIP's. The challenge would come from the amount of Zombies and other BOW's. I think it'd be awesome anyhow...

With RE5 coming next month, Im finally playing through RE4. At first it felt weird using a 360 controller but Im getting used to it. Im onto Ch 2.3 now. So far good game

How are you using a 360 controller? Are you playing it on the PC?

 

[Havok83]

yeah, I have the PC version. I wanted to use my PS3 controller, but unfortunetly cant. The analog stick on the 360 doesnt feel quite right and the trigger buttons cant be used which bothered me at first bc I wanted to use those for attacking. I have to use the bumpers which I dont like, but its better than trying to play with mouse/keyboard

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

yeah, I have the PC version.

Good mod, sharpens the textures abit.

Capcom don't seem to impliment them very well, even with a excellent port like DMC4.

There are quite a few replica's.

 

[Havok83]

Thanks. I already put in some mods for it.

Its not a bad port. Some games, simply arent made to be played with a mouse/keyboard. This is one of them. Gamepad all the way. The 360 isnt the best for this, but its adequate enough and supported so Im fine with it.

I thought the 360 controller works GREAT with RE5, but you said some functions arent available with the controller on RE4 right?

It is, even the default keyboard mapping is cumbersome. it could be made to work extreamly well with a mouse and keyboard like other third person shooters such as Splinter Cell, Dead Space and Gears Of War. It's very much a lazy port like a few of Capcoms older pc games.

Well the GC controller, which the game was originally made, for had even less buttons than the 360. All the functions are available. My main issue is that you cant map the LT and RT to anything and Im so used to using those buttons for attacks in shooters when using this controller, so its a bit of an adjustment having to use the LB and RB instead. I have no idea things are with RE5, but considering the game is being made for the 360, Im sure Capcom has optimized the control for it.

I'll have to disagree bc the game plays great as long as you have a gamepad. Im not having any major issues with it and its MUCH better than some of the older games, as you mentioned. DMC3 was the worst. They had the right analog stick mapped to movement and there was no way to change it. Made it completely unplayable

Finally beat Res Evil 4 a few minutes ago. That end boss was pretty easy. Probably easier than any final boss from the series

Yeah the end boss on RE4 wasn't all the bad. I had to finally stop playing RE4. I literally unlocked EVERYTHING. The chicago typewriter was so frikkin awesome

Typewriter was definitely my favorite weapon in tge game. Combine it with the gangster costume and instant fun was to be had.

Oh yeah. Nothing like unleashing a hail of bullets on El Gigante's head. Muy fun

 

[Havok83]

I still need to go and start up Ada's scenario. I cant beleive Capcom left so many unanswered questions about her in the original release. Hopefully this will shed more light on why she was actually in the game and her motives.

Also surprised by the lack of Wesker. I thought he was going to be showing up in the end considering we do know that he and Ada were connected

Oh he's in there alright.

 

[Havok83]

really? where? Does he show up in Ada's scenario or did I miss/forget him in the main game?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea he shows up in Ada's scenario. Its like an alt/extended ending to the main game.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

"During a Q&A segment at the Resident Evil 5 Wondercon panel, Capcom was asked by an enthusiastic fan about a possible Resident Evil 2 remake.

Mike Webster of Capcom decided to responded to the answer. He said, "Stay tuned, we absolutely understand that these are classic games," and added, "Some announcements, [are on the way] that you will be very interested in.""

Hmm, wonder what that means?

thanks! Im playing it now and seeing Wesker

I'm in the middle of playing the Mercenaries mode for RE4 and I've unlocked Hunk and Ada. Unfortunately everytime I get ready to receive a four star rating in Waterworld Super Salvadore owns Hunk.

One thing that frustrates me is how easy it is to lose track of him and you never know which route he's going to take. Looks like I may have to track him down first, kill him, and then concentrate on the other Ganados while being on guard.

It's pretty obvious that Resident Evil 2 will end up getting remade. Now I think the question is what system will it appear on.

Wii. I will be surprised if it doesnt end up there. Capcom can get away with not pushing great graphics with it on that system. Throw in motion controls and you got a typical Wii game. I thinkk Capcom is focused on supporting RE5 for the 360/PS3 and if a 2 remake is done, it will most likely be a side project to throw at the Wii crowd since they wont be getting RE5

I agree, also Capcom has promised more Resident Evil on the Wii. Plus it can be done cheaper because of the simple fact that Wii development is cheaper than 360/PS3 development and they have a bit of the work already done thanks to Umbrella Chronicles with character models and whatnot already made.

And the Wii already has Resident Evil 0, 1, and 4.
