Resident Evil 4

[Lee-yoshi]

Unfortunately all Zombie-slaughtering fans will have to wait until 2005 till we see a brand spanking new Capcom Exclusive titled "Resident Evil 4" on our European shelves! But while you wait, here's some news that'll make you start to drool, oh and did i mention an early screenshot......ew wipe that up, you have to see it first!


A few-ish nice little facts about the game:

• The end of the doors that slowly creak open and shut when entering a different room is here....R.I.P.
  
• An energy bar now appears on the main screen...i'm no big Resi fan, but i don't remember that being there before!
  
• Leon's the main man in this title, with characters from previous games re-appearing....an all star cast!
  
• The game can now be played in different perspectives of your choosings, 1st person, or 3rd person (Multiple)...the choice is yours!
  
• For some reason, Capcom have made Resident Evil 4, more of a film, then a game. Saying this, the game will only be playable in Widescreen mode, which means if you don't have a widescreen TV then you'll have to put up with playing the game in Letterbox Format (The one with the black bars above and below the screen constantly!)
  
• Some of the controls will differ, some will remain the same. For example, shooting will stay the same. Hold 'R' to Aim, and 'A' to Shoot!
  
• There's also going to be a new 'Action' button incorporated into the game. Pressing this button at EXACTLY the right moment will no doubtedly perform some kind of breath-taking move, such as diving outta the way, climbing out of a window, or just whacking a bad guy around the head!
  
• The Resident Evil usual's don't appear in the game. It spies the end of the Umbrella Corporation (We all know and love!), and the zombies will be of different looks!
  
• There's a lot of new and nasty traps Leon can get man-handled in!
  
• Enemies now have their own 'Hit-Zones' such as shooting a bad guy in the arm....owwey!
  
• Leon can now do whatever he wants by the looks of things, using binoculars, sniper rifles, hand grenades, or if he feels like an outting, hit the lakes in a boat!
  
• Villagers can now also attack, using anything they can get their hands on, including spades, shovels, axes...or chainsaws!! Uh Oh!
  
• AI has been improved - Enemies now attacking with more intelligence before!
  

Sounds good ey! 2005 though, hmmm.....*sigh*

Now lets have a screenshot!
