there is some coverage in the new playzone (german ps2 mag) and they reveal something new.

- the new costumes (there are also pictures) are kinda lame...

-> leon get a new gangster costume (reminds on al capone)
-> ashley get a knight armor (cool: bullets dont hurt her anymore and the villagers cannot carry her away)

- for germany: the first ada mission is in the game (note: the cube version is cut in germany)

- 16:9 mode

- rumor: that there is a progressive scan mode too
 
Great for people who didn't have the chance to play this masterpiece just yet, pick it up and be amazed!

The hell?! PS2 gamers = weaksauce? :lol
 
the release of the german version of re4 (gc) was pretty messed up.

the ada mission and the mercenaries mode weren't in the version which got tested by the fsk (german entertainment rating), so they censored those modes when the final version got released.
 
Man i still gotta beat RE4 on GC. If i werent so near the end i would have sold it for the superior PS2 version.

Armour?

That's even worse than the lightning gun! :lol

I'm sayin! Why aren't they adding stuff like a higher difficulty level and an extra Mercenaries stage? Instead they seem determined to make the game even easier and lamer to play than using the Infinite Rocket Launcher or Chicago Typewriter.
 
Exactly. Give us more Mercenary stages instead of filler crap and gimmicks like extra guns and new costumes.

Those Ada missions better be insanely tight but I don't like playing with Ada nearly as much as every other playable character. Its better than nothing I guess.

What the hell? The knight armor better be kind of hard to unlock. That + the laser cannon are a bit much. Kind of makes it seem tame.

That makes no sense. Why should it be hard to unlock something that makes the game easier?

Damn if I know. People are complaining about anything. Games have been doing this for years especially the Resident Evil series, they reware you with more powerful accessories for your completion of a game. Now you can plow through without needing to babysit Ashley.

Because I think it's a cheap way to go through the game. I've never been a fan of stuff like that.
 
Because the game has replay value...you'll probably start again right after you finish it (I know I did :D)

And if your second play is ruined by all these stupid things that simplify it, then it takes the fun out of it. Making Ashley invincible is a horrible idea...I won't say why but if you've played it, you know what I'm getting at

Not really, it would just make it straight up action. I can see it making it a bit less intensive, but for straight up ownage without a care gameplay it will be great, I remember plowing through RE1 and 2 like that, good times.
 
But a second play-through is like that anyway. I don't want to spoil it for anyone though, but continuing from a completed save is already far easier for one very simple reason

I guess you're right. I finished the first time but have yet to play a second playthrough, as incredible I find RE4 is (GOTY stuff) too many games on my back log. They really should have difficulty levels from the start.
 
It's a shame they didn't increase difficulty when you play through it again. That's probably one of the few genuine mistakes they made with the game

Uh,
you unlock a hard mode after beating the game once
 
But using hard mode means you start again, meaning you won't have enough money for the unlockable weapons. If you play through it, and start again with that save then you keep all your money and items

but having all the money and unlockable/fully upgraded weapons at the start of pro mode would make it too easy.
