4 pages long. Gamespot seems very impressed.

Gamespot conclusion said:
Given how long this love letter has rambled on, we doubt anyone will be surprised when we say that Resident Evil 4 should rock the house when it hits next year. The stunning visuals are matched by equally impressive gameplay, taking this series in an outstanding new direction. More importantly, the gameplay mechanics may make some genuine contributions to the action genre itself, which is nice to see, coming from a nine-year-old series. Resident Evil 4 is slated to ship in January 2005 for the GameCube. A PlayStation 2 version is set to follow later in the year.

I am not surprised. I have played through the demo 15-20 times. Loved it.

Most wrote it off. I know i did for awhile. I can't wait to play it now, though.

Good impressions overall. The hype is certainly building well.

This is the way to start the new year!

come to me my love <3

It seems that they have mixed the gameplay perfectly. It's appearently heavy actionbased areas combined with bosses, puzzles, shops and button combos that gamespot speak of.

Yeah, reading about the various puzzles put a smile to my face.

Ever since 2000 when I played CODE: Veronica.

RiZ III · Dec 4, 2004

I'm still wondering where the story is going. All the mysteries were pretty much solved in CV. RE4 apparently doesn't have much of umbrella in there either.

LukeSmith · Dec 4, 2004

"love letter"

GS gives RE4 8.9

fennec fox · Dec 4, 2004

Ah, what the hell. Eagle eyed readers will note that I wrote a preview of RE4 in an issue of EGM a month or so a while back, but I think I failed to communicate in this preview that I think this game is the bee's knees and unlike any other dang game I've played before.

So give it some thought this winter!

cvxfreak · Dec 4, 2004

If RE4 gets lower than a 9.99, then people shall feel my ****ing wrath!

Baconäger · Dec 4, 2004

Awesome video preview.

Game looks amazing.

RE is teh suck, the graphics are an absolute jag fest and like all other RE games the puzzles will make no sense and suck ass! Wow I get to keep on shooting stupid zombies with clichéd weapons and crappy controls. I am just kidding this game will rock I am just rambling to see who the fuck even reads my post without flaming me I cant wait!

OMG teh Xbot!

The Main Event · Dec 4, 2004

People waiting for the PS2 version will cry so badly once they see that the system can't handle the graphics of this game.

Seriously, this game looks gorgeous.

he's not the only one!

ive been sheltering myself from almost all forms of media pre-viewing this game. i want to be PURE when RE4 graces my cube.

ive been playing through all of the RE's in anticipation for this game. im very excited. i cannot wait to spend my $$$ on this game on day 1. this is one im not waiting for a bargain on.

so, who has pre-ordered yet?

it looks like there will be some nice pre-order bonus junk coming from Game Stop (i think its from GS). im actually going to have to break down and pre-order a game here! unheard of!

Lakitu · Dec 4, 2004

Wow, this game looks effing remarkable!! I can't wait

GOTY 2005

JavyOO7 · Dec 4, 2004

Hopefully the story is cool. Can't wait.

AssMan · Dec 4, 2004

Ha. I liked the little Indiana Jones scene in that video, and Ada=FAP FAP FAP.

bbyybb · Dec 4, 2004

The game is looking great.

The GameCube is working overtime and then some to pump out visuals of such high quality and maintain the solid frame rate the game is running at

Probably won't get GOTY because of Zelda but this game is going to rock hardcore anyway. Playing RE4 in the beginning of the year and then Zelda in the second half =

Senretsu · Dec 4, 2004

Awesome! i don't usually read through these extended previews but I couldn't stop reading and before I knew i was at the end and wanted to read more about it. Sounds killer!

ToyMachine228 · Dec 4, 2004

The guy from GMR who is reviewing RE4, has also slightly started to write about the game in his online journal at 1up. Go check it out. He says it redefines "bloodpumping"

FRIGGIN AWESOME VIDEO PREVIEW.

I can't wait.

-=::[Eagle-Vision]::=- · Dec 5, 2004

The controls are tuned to near perfection too, with survival knife attacks activated by holding down the left trigger, and gun attacks performed by holding down the right.

Dual welding? Sweet

BTW, in the video preview, the zombies do actually blow up? If that's then this is indeed the goriest RE ever.

Late Stage Marxist · Dec 5, 2004

Looks like a must buy.

Is that what he means? That would make sense, but is that actually what he means? Like CQC in MGS3 or what?
