Just did some counting and it's always 5-10 seconds between rooms. I think the character loading is less, but that's still almost half a minute of loading total to switch characters. I doubt they tuned that for the US release but I suppose it's possible.

Is there any way to hit weak points with Mask? I haven't used him much but he seems really inaccurate (which makes total sense considering his guns). Also, his scene in the kitchen was hysterically bad-ass. I CAN HEADBUTT BULLETS!

RE4 is at 1.3 million world wide for sales not bad in a few months from it coming out, and VJ GC kicked the living shit sales wise out of the PS2 rev, even the GC version of VJ2 which sold pittifully sold 2 - 3 times the amount of the PS2 version

personally I think when all is said and done, and after it's had a chance to hit players choice, i think RE4 will do over a million in the US but we shall see

but people are right the game DESERVED to sell alot more

but I think even if it was on PS2 it would'nt have been doing much better

Like Diffusion said people move on

how long of a gap was their between the last REAL RE game and RE4 quite a few years, new IPs came along and people's tastes moved away

the same thing is going to happen to Halo, and GTA, and any other franchise that is huge this generation

It's possible but not very likely to happen. I was never able to hit a weak spot until I once got into a pinch where I could only kill a guy via his weak spot--first shot did nothing but I somehow nailed it on the second. So you can do it...but don't plan on it ;)

Yep. The people who have GameCubes for Zelda couldn't possibly already have RE4, and those 50 people that buy SotC probably can't afford to spring for RE4 too. :rolleyes:

Well, I started playing the import PS2 version today. Load times really suck.

Does the gimp in red always say the same thing? "Master, it's dangerous!" etc, etc...

I think I'm gonna chill on this one until the US version comes out.

As far as the whole RE thing goes, I was about as huge a RE fan as there was, but I wasn't buying a Gamecube to play it. I just played other games...the Silent Hill series was a good substitute. Capcom and Nintendo overestimated the loyalty of the fanbase of the series, thinking they could "force" them into buying Gamecubes, and did the RE series major harm. I'm sure Capcom is pissed.

If the PS2 port of RE4 is good, I'll probably pick it up though.

Im the opposite, kinda. I hated the old RE games, but I wanna give RE4 a try. But I wanna give it a try on the GameCube. So I plan on getting a GameCube when I can get one for real cheap, like real cheap. $20 or $30.

I'm just glad they put RE4 on the GC because it's a more powerful system, and the game obviously looks better on the GC. I'm also buying the GC version of Killer 7.

Would RE4 have been as good and received all the critical acclaim that it did if it had only been released as a PS2 game?

My girlfriend offered to loan me her Camecube (since she never plays it) so I can rent RE4 and give it a try. Maybe I'll take her up on it.

Do it.
