New RE4 PS2 details
- Thread starter Solid
- Start date
Hm I don't see how any of the two versions is clearly superior. It's just the tradeof SLIGHTLY better graphics (I mean come on, PRT lighting and non-palettized textures don't guarantee a huge difference, it's still the overall artwork that counts) or some extra content. I already own the cube version but I'm willing to buy the PS2 version for the extra content, although not at full price of course.

It's one of the best games this gen. If it has added content, why wouldn't you at least consider it? It's like having the directors cut of a film or something (assuming the content is significant...if it's not of course I won't buy it.) I wouldn't do it for many games, but this one I sure would.

To me, it is the best game this gen, but I am not going to spend another 50 bucks on it. The extras can't possibly make it worth running through all over again once or even multiple times (for me that is). I also have plenty of games to play as is, so I wouldn't even touch it if I bought it again.
Also, I have a limited gaming budget. I can't be spending it on redundant purchases. I also have very little free time as a parent.
Some people on here appear to have very little responsibilities and a whole lotta cash to waste too.

Well I own a PS2 and I feel the same way as he does. The only way I would ever consider buying RE4 again is if a director's cut was released for the Gamecube and it let you import your RE4 save so you can have quicker access to some of the new stuff.
Edit: I wouldn't pay more than $20 for a director's cut either. Plus they would have to add more content to the game...like new outfits or an Ashley scenario or something. The new weapons sound good in theory but RE4 already had a ton of weapons and I only ended up using a select few of them.

If those games interested those people who don't own the GC, wouldn't they own the system? They don't own it because there aren't enough games on the system to actually interest them. So they wait for the PS2 version of RE4 even if its not as good looking.

I don't think it can be generalized like this. It really depends on the content/upgrade. For me, this sort of upgrade is worth a repurchase at bargain bin prices. 10-20 bucks is not exactly burnin' my bank, if ya know what I mean. But I'd gladly pay a full 50 bucks for a game I loved if the remake was truly huge. Just to give you a passing example, if the remake of FFVII was actually made for PS3 and had, say, those spectacular visuals on top of new scenarios, new items, new storyline segments and filled out/more coherent writing at points it'd be easily worth the price.
Insert any game you really love in place of "FFVII" and, you wouldn't find it worth that? It's all about what you include.

I agree with you on the remake idea. This isn't a remake though, so I just can't see the justification. If they remade one of my favorite games, I might possibly buy it. But the exact same game with a few added extras - no.
Even bargin bin prices is pushing it for me because of my free time and limited gaming income.

Will this even be 50 bucks? Maybe it'll be 30 bucks like the Viewtiful Joe port.
Dr_Cogent said:
Oh, I know this isn't a remake. I'm just saying that it all depends on how much you put into making the 'same game' something more, and how much you actually love the game. For instance, I love RE4 so much that they can just remake it with next-gen visuals on Revolution and leave everything else exactly the same and I'd buy it at a decent price.
The PS2 version is such a game that requires a bargain bin price for me. Perhaps those new exclusive scenarios add some insight into the overall story, and because I love RE4 so much it's worth that small fee.
So content is what it's about for me (also, love).

I took the post as sarcasm, because I know you really don't believe that the PS2 version will look better because of progressive scan......considering the fact that the Cube version does run in pro-scan.
If you do....then your post is retarded, with a dash of PCP induced hallucinations.
Are you serious? The Cube version runs in pro-scan? If I knew that I would have bought it the day it came out. GC games often have bad image quality and one reason is the lack of ps.
Ah well, I might as well play it with all the extras... No use in getting the GC version now...

umm.... you guys know what Assignment Ada is, right? You play through the same levels again looking for vials placed in various spots, but with Ada. I played through the GC Assignment Ada once, and that was enough for me.
If the PS2 version has 5 more scenarios that have you do just that, and in levels that you've already gone through with Leon, I'll feel sorry for you guys. You are just getting more filler. If in fact the PS2 version gets a large amount of new areas to explore (that aren't half-assed), then the PS2 version will probably be superior content-wise.... otherwise.... ummm... it'll be like when I bought Symphony of the Night on the Saturn and experienced the horror of getting the "superior" version (for those of you who don't know, the Saturn version had 2 new extremely lame levels, a half-assed mode where you could play as Richter or Maria, new items/weapons that were pretty useless except for the speed boots, while having more load time and slowdown compared to the PS version which came out months before.)
But hey, I'm a pessimist.

I may rent it and see the extras but I've already paid my 50 bucks for the same game.
Why is any bicthing about the graphics of the PS2 version? Have you not seen it in motion yet?

Looks identical to the Cube version for the most part.

Yah there are some difference but for the most part its very similar to the Cube version. Some are making it out like this a last gen vs. this gen issue which it isn't near being.

You understand that it has nothing to do with that, right?

First of all, I'm not a believer of "enhanced" versions - yes, there are some exceptions which they do add substantial amount of "new" things - but at least not for RE series - as I'm not feeling missing out anything.
CV to CVX, RE to RE-DC, etc... it's still the same damn game. Extra hunter or not, it doesn't alter the game that much - unless it's RE:Birth calibur of total-remaking, it's not worth it in many cases.
While I'm happy the game is coming out on PS2 as well - but I just don't think whatever additions they've put it in would make the game any better than what it is for now... unless they emphasize Ashley's equipment even more so than US GC version of RE4.

Killer 7 doesn't have proscan support either.
Twice? Twice is nothing. There's people that have bought the same Street Fighter releases OVER AND OVER AGAIN for years now.
And sadly, I'm one of them. ^_^;
I'm definitely picking up the PS2 RE4, but I'm not selling off the GC version unless the PS2 version plays as smoothly and has as many characters on screen at one time. I still have to see the final version in motion to believe it.
Still hoping this "upgraded" RE4 gets a GC release or an Xbox release...

Why in the world should I or anyone else be criticized for being smart o.o? I got all 3 systems but as soon as it was known RE4 PS2 would happen I decided to wait. You can say we were waiting on extras that weren't ever confirmed until now...but come on! A years wait and past and knowledge of loads of enhanced Capcom ports made it pretty obvious that more would be added confirmed up to the bitter end or not. -_-

Well, it should make the sticky thread interesting.
Me too, well more acurately I had way too many games to play at the time. I also own all three systems and I have been eyeing Re4 for some time now. After enduring Mgs3 on my widescreen Hdtv I promised my self I wouldn't buy any more games that didn't support widescreen or pro scan ( or one or the other) and so when I heard The Ps2 version had widescreen support I decided I would buy it. (Will it also include Pro scan I didn't want to read through 4 pages )Lindsay said:

I don't see how you can act like the extra content (which isn't very good considering the Ada missions aren't too fun in the first place) is worth waiting almost a year, especially considering you can buy the GC version that looks better (no matter how people want to spin it).
