Both games look stunning. Here are a couple of RE4 scans:

Obviously, RE4 is at somewhat of a disadvantage despite how good the scans look. We will have to wait till mid march to get some more accurate media.

RE4 looks "stunning"? Yes.
RE4 looks "good"? NO!

C'mon! The first pic I clicked on has got some guys head being blown apart, and some chick getting a chainsaw put to her throat! :eek: That's terrible!

I gotta go brush my teeth now.

Gore's always been a part of RE. Sort of like how a horror movie has to have gruesome deaths.

P.S. The pic with the cow. I heard you could blow up that cow.

Game-Informer said their issue coming out February 24 has an exclusive scoop on Resident Evil IV and Killer 7. . . it's their cover story. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Killer 7 is all about.

What do you think of the story? If the details are true, of course. One thing I'm not too sure of is the fact that Leon is going to be taking up the bottom left corner of the screen. That view just doesn't seem right to me.

Oh and the newest release date is November 15. It's probably going to suffer at least one delay though.

Should have checked out one of the links I posted in the other thread yesterday. It showed scans of Killer 7. The game looks to be a shooter.

Well, I try to not reading into the story too much. That would only spoil the fun. But I think this game is going to be great. Is this game the last installment in the series? It would be so cool that we see Wesker in this game with some matrix moves like he did in code veronica.

Well, there hasn't been much revealed about the story except for the general plot points. Usually, an RE game does go a bit deeper then just the general plot.

Right now, the fanbase is really divided over whether this game will be great or will suck. Some people didn't want the changes they've implemented.

I'd just like to add that screen shots don't really do NG justice. The graphics look nice a crisp and all, but they look too static and not "ninja-action-like." To really get a picture for what NG will look like you should really look at movies of the game.

RE4, on the other hand, has a slower pace and therefore more looks appealing (to me anyway) in screen shots. But I haven't seen any gameplay movies so it's hard to compare the true graphical potential of each.

The RE shots were photos of a magazine then scanned. Those images were worthless. I had to go with NG due to having reasonable shots to look at. The best had to be when the camera flash over saturated the images.

When you are the fan of a game, any early shots are treasured.

I'm going to say RE4 because one of the gameplay details about this game is that it features completely open levels. Not too concerned with the super old Ninja Gaiden titles in the N. Gaiden game.

BTW, I've read various sources that say that GI's hands on mentions the controls being changed to a more Devil May Cry like setting.

The RE shots were photos of a magazine then scanned. Those images were worthless.

Yeah, you gotta use some imagination there. One thing though, there are RE images except that all of them are practically useless at this point because all of the old ideas have been scrapped and the graphic engine has gone through a little overhaul in the year or so since those first images were released.

RE4 is going to look good. Footages of RE4 have been out for a long time now. From what I have seen so far, NG is not going to beat RE4.

Know what's another game that looks awesome?

Silent Hill 4: The Room.

But arent you the one always calling Xbox owners"Graphic whores?" Well um arent you acting like one right now? Yep.Nobody knows for sure if RE4 will have more going for it than NG.Comparing mere screenshots dont mean dick!

For me its all about the real key factor to every game on the market:Gameplay.Nobody knows for sure which game will prevail in the reviews of the future.Plus Silen Hill 4 looks real good too.Should be a Great game for PS2/Xbox owners.GC owners once again will be snubbed and left out.

I don't think it'll look that much better then Silent Hill 3. There's only about a year's difference in programming time between it and Silent Hill 4.

So far I'd have to say The Suffering looks to be one hell of a"Kool-Aid"fest next to RE4.The Silent Hill series has always been graphic but not really a "Kool-Aid"fest like the others.

Either way it goes I plan to own both SH4 and The Suffering.Finally Survival Horror is making a huge comeback.Its about time.For a while this genre was getting ignored.Not anymore.

I was not talking the graphics entirely. I was talking about the double headed monsters, dead people flying through, and the live protraits. My focus was more on the eerie feeling I got from the trailer. The game seems interesting to me. I didn't like previous three as much. I didn't even find the original SH all that scary either. Hopefully, I will have some fun with this one.

I saw the trailer and while yeah, it's spooky, it's also reminiscent of previous Silent Hill games. RE, this time seems to be doing something about the one aspect that everybody has always criticized the Survival Horror sub genre for, the gameplay.

Most of us RE loyal followers has been waiting to see the final chapter of Umbrella be told.And now from what I've read on this Umbrella wont even be involved in this one.Plus Leon is supposed to be off to protect the President's daughter? I hope the gameplay is all that because the story isnt sounding all that to me.

I think the Resident Evil series has been played-out. IMO, they shoulda stopped with part two. Nemesis was total asshair. The re-make was nice blast to the past with purtier graffix, but only part I and II were worth my cash. I guess I'm more of a Silent Hill type of guy, except for part three which was also asshair. Hmm, R.E. III sucked, Silent Hill III sucked, Terminator III sucked, The Godfather III sucked, maybe I just don't like threes. But I liked Mario III, and Ninja Gaiden III.

If the gameplay to RE IV is amped up, then won't that make more of an action-horror game than survival horror?

Does anyone play these games for shock value? That's why I enjoy them more than most(esp. Silent Hill I, II), because of the wack-job of a story that get's into your skull if you let it, and I do.

I actually liked RE3, much better then RE1 in any case. It still ranks as one of the better RE games IMO. Especially the choose your own path type scenarios it took.

Edit: I'm actually glad Capcom is doing something with the gameplay. The SH genre has become somewhat limited because of the control scheme. If RE4 can do something about this and still keep the atmosphere then I welcome it. Watch as everybody else starts copying RE again if Mikami's successful in revamping the game.

As far as spooky goes, I think Fatal Frame 2 is the best so far. About RE's gameplay, I never really had any problem with it. All the critism about how people have problems moving around and stuff or seeing things is just bogus. No one I know have any problem with it. Only a few whiny cry babies on this board have I heard about RE's "broken" gameplay. That is like complaining about how you can only play games in the 1st person point of view in FPS games. It really is nothing but a gigantic waste of time. That is how survial horror gameplay is like and that is probably how survival horror's gameplay is going to be like. Moving in such manner defines survival horror, so people should just learn to deal with it.

Man, I gotta get Fatal Frame 2. I'll do it one of these days though.

Well, I don't know it's as much an issue with RE as it is with the prerendered backgrounds. IMO, Code Veronica moved a lot more smoothly then the Remake or RE0 because it was 3d. I went from hating that they didn't do prerendered backgrounds in CV to hating that they didn't make RE0 fully 3d.

Yeah especially with the auto aim. If they want something to cry about they need to beat the game, then play it on true survival.

I feel the comparsion of these two games is akward because they are so different. Comparing RE4 to Silent Hill or Fatal frame and NG to PoP would have been more like it. I think graphics may differ according to genre.

Yeah but it can be an unfair comparison, you wouldn't compare Windwaker to say...... Halo would you? Both awesome games, but the graphics are totally different. Though NG and RE4 may not be that extreme, you get my drift, don't you? Different genres allow for more or less flexibilty with graphics (I think).

Then why put Ninja Gaiden vs. PoP. The art styles in both games are completely different. You'd be better off comparing NG with Soul Calibur 2 in that regard. But whatever, actually, you did raise a good point here. Which is more to your liking, realistic graphics like RE4's or the more cartoony visuals of N. Gaiden?
