Quick Look: Resident Evil 4

@Maketsu said:

where is RE2 remake ? =(

it's sitting with the Final Fantasy VII remake in limbo

So, why is the "4" placed before "Resident Evil" when the game is actually "Resident Evil 4"? That seems super stupid.

really? somebody actually beat the whole game less than 2 hrs?

@Arkanti: I'LL BUY IT AT A HIGH PRICE!

Awesome game, graphics look terrible. Still gonna pick it up.

I don't have a PS3, but I wonder if this has Move support? After playing the Wii version, I couldn't imagine going back to a dual analog controller.

Waddaya Quick Lookin' ?

RE4 for GameCube was a two disc game and one GC disk could hold 1.9GB(if i remember correctly) for those wondering. @Brad

At some I am gonna be jonesing for some Resident Evil 4 and won't feel like hooking up my Gamecube and then I will end up getting this.

I can't believe they forgot that the Gamecube version came on two discs. That's how it was that size. Two half-DVDs, basically.

I CANNOT wait to get home from work so I can watch this@!!!!!

Goddamnit Brad, you should of closed the lid first before shooting the Brass Watch so it's cleaner, and worth more monies! :o

Wait, what? I think you just blew my mind.

I kept screaming for Brad to shoot them in the head, he may say it doesn't make a difference... but it does.

No Move support.

After playing this so many times, I don't think I would do it again.

Was it a left and a right half so you had to combine them before you put them into the console?

Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim!!

What year did this originally come out?

No Move support.

Thanks for the reply. Kind of odd, move seems like a perfect fit for something like this.

I've tried embracing this 3 different times.  And I can't do it.
 
You're all crazy.

Looks about as good as Deadly Premonition.

Oh Lord, watching Brad buy the Rifle and not the scope to go with it is driving me INSANE.

Such an awesome game though. Brad's hoarding totally reminds me of how I used to play it. Only I'd usually go for the headshot/kick combo instead of knife unless they were already knocked down.

Do you really need the scope for the BAR if you are just going to sell it and get the AR when you get to the Castle?

I remember looking at the original trailers for this and thinking "man that's totally pre-rendered, those graphics are way too good!" lol

Goddamn, watching Brad not going for headshots with the pistol is aggravating. I thought he was trying to save ammo?

Vinny and Drew should go for a speed run :D

Hey Brad, if you shoot them in the head they die faster, Mr. "Ammo Hoarder"

No. If you headshot them there's a chance of triggering a Plagas parasite, which means even more ammo expenditure.

I've beaten this game half a dozen times across 2 platforms, so watching Brad make so many rookie mistakes was painful for me. I was like "No, you're not meant to drop the pendants in the water! No, don't sell the Elegant Mask yet! No, you're supposed to look at the damn tombstones! No, shoot the Ganados in the knees!" But I'm probably being unfair.

Is anyone else having issues on the HD version of this stream? I'm fairly certain it was around 15 minutes in, that it begins to have a rainbow distorted effect on the bottom third of the screen. Once I switched to the high quality version, the issue disappeared.

This was a good quick look! I love this game. $20 bucks is a little steep for it now though. I might eventually get it if I have some extra cash.

Ehh...After seeing this quicklook, I don't see a real reason to revisit this game.

Why would you tie up a cop but leave his weapons on him?

Pffffff! this game is stupid!

Never played Biohazard 4, but for $10...why not

@RobertOrri: There is no Plagas trigger at that point in the game.

Oh I so want this ...

....soooo did Deadly Premonition use RE4's engine?

I played RE4 on the gamecube but I didn't remember how similar to Deadly Premonition it was.

Some of the worst RE4 play I've ever seen.

DON'T SHOOT THE PENDANT BRAD YOU SHOOT THE LID FIRST YOU - awwwww god damn it Brad.

Its kind of funny people only remember zombies from the first RE but they never remember the hunters and the other BOW's from that game.

AH fuck, watching this really makes me want to play it again.

"we talked about this on the bombcast" in fact Brad, unless i fell asleep at some point (i may have done actually, it was late) you distinctly did not talk about RE4 in detail on the bombcast, because it would seem Ryan just cut it right out mercilessly...unless i missed it.

I hope I'm not the only person on the face of the earth who liked the tetris inventory, i loved that. Always felt like my cleverness was gaining me more space, and therefore I never had anything to complain about.

Anywaaayy, amazing game, don't know if i could go back to it, but I would definitely play this over 5 any day.

WHAT U BUYIN

WHAT ARE YA SELLIN?

That never gets old.

brad should like this, its also 1000 achievos, since its not a xbla game

Poor Vinny sounds so tired. Get some sleep man!

Awesome game by the way. Some guy on Dtoid wrote that the HD resolution makes the game look worse cause you can see all the little flaws- I totally disagree with him. This looks sooo much better than even the Wii version in 480p. Much, much cleaner and still retaining that horror look.

Me not buying it can fuckin stop it!

If you shoot the wood holding up the lid on the well before shooting down the necklace, it's in pristine condition!

Great game, greatly overpriced.

Totally agree. Aside from that, I'm really anal about organization and everything being neat and tidy, so I got a little extra pleasure out of having a clean inventory.

RE4 is so good, but 20 bucks is kind of high. I might bite at 10, but, well, I do own the Wii version already.

Love the Wii version of the game.

The merchant taught me how to question everything, including myself.
