the textures on her sweater look really weak

I guess you were trying to say 1st batch of screens = GC and 2nd = PS2?

Yeah that's what I meant.

 

[Wario64]

omg the difference is so big! omg i gotta buy a gamecube. lol

how about those trolls that were saying how the ps2 version cant display the same number of enemies on screen as the gc version? hahaha. all that from a friggin trailer, no less

 

[Doom_Bringer]

the lighting on the PS2 version took a serious hit or maybe they need some more time to implement it properly.

I think they mean now the PS2 can't display the same number of barrels on screen as the GC version. GC Barrels > PS2 Barrels

 

[TTP]

"BARREL!"

 

[Wario64]

but less barrels = less ammo/health pickups ...which means PS2 is the definite version because it's HARDER

gamecube version = weaksauce version

confirmed.

 

[silenttwn]

I've been replaying this game. God dang, love it. Mikami kicks ass... WHY the hell would he not continue with the RE series? This game is so brilliant because of it's excellent flow and direction. I have a feeling RE5 will be great, but not RE4 great since Mikami's not involved. RE1, RE2, and RE4 were all helmed under extremely talented game directors (Mikami and Kamiya) and came out fantastic. The other ones in the series suck, save RE0.

I think the only thing confirmed is Wario's insanity :lol

I'm playing the game for the 4th time I think and loving every bit of it, but as to what you said. Basically, Mikami wasn't even going to work on Resident Evil 4. Until Kobayashi called him in to take the game in a bold new direction, and it definitely worked.

Now that Resident Evil 4 is done, he's moved over to Clover Studio where he will have more freedom. Along with other Directors such as Kayima and Inaba, Mikami is searching for more freedom within Capcom. I guess the management over there is quite strict and careless. I don't imagine he's in too good relation with them after they voted to have his game ported to the PlayStation 2.

I can't wait for the IGN comparisons, the thread will be great.

Take a guess.

 

[Wario64]

that cube shot is an old build (look at the health bars)

I know, visuals are unchanged though. It looked so good on my monitor. (not addressed to Wario64)If you don't play this game in progressive scan your missing out, PS2 or GC.

 

[Sagitario]

I like the blue tone of the PS2 boxart... but Leon looks kinds of... don't know... weird... evilly weird... =P

With the other shot you posted (the one with the demo bars), you could see the difference in the lighting...

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

interesting how that scene with the ashley close up has 3 barrels in the background while the other version has 1

the game doesn't look all that different though...you'd think that by the reactions on this forum, RE4 PS2 would look like a n64 game

GC = better barrels

TAKE YO SPARKS AND SHOVE IT

 

[LM4sure]

US GC box is def the best imo

 

[wonderfuldays]

Even if PS2 version got almost the same visual quality,
it will just be more laggy... We will see.

Laggy? Lag happens in online games...Maybe you're talking about frame rate?

 

[silenttwn]

The ground textures are horrible in RE4. I can't see individual rock fragments blowing in the wind if I stare at it for five hours (because, you know, when you play a game you look at the ground the whole time). NEVERMIND about what I previously said, Resident Evil 4 looks terrible altogether. N64 quality, even. No no, no.... no............ no, get this..... Virtual Boy quality. Red lines. Cancer inducing.

 

[TheTurtleTitan]

Something that always bugged me about the GC box was the tree to the right of the logo. It looked like it was forming a 2. So I always read it as "4 Resident Evil 2"

Dammit, now that's all I see!

My guesses:

GCN

PS2

Wow I didn't know that the differences were that small.

Yes, the framerate must be horrible while comes a lot of enemys.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Dammit, now that's all I see!

It's like the FedEx arrow.

 

[cvxfreak]

I really like the boxart. I'm glad it's different... Capcom's really trying to push the PS2 game.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

I don't like the way Leon looks on the PS2 box, he looks evil. (and it needs the chainsaw guy!)
I like the Cube box art more, but I think it would be even better if they just changed the color of the pink sky to dark blue like the PS2 box.

lol, I never noticed that!

I like the PS2 box. Some fucker at Sony had better give this game a big marketing push even if they have no say in publishing the game...if it bombs then Sony are to blame

 

[cybamerc]

There are some per pixel effects in the Cube version that I'm pretty sure won't be in the PS2 version. Overall the difference may not be huge but I'm confident the Cube version is visibly superior.

 

[Kraftwerkman]

yeah, pal art rules

here there´re a lot of pal covers of my collection...

 

[SolidSnakex]

Why do you hate us so much KoA?

 

[stone128]

Meh.

PAL GC > PAL PS2 > NA GC > NA PS2

IAWTP

 

[Dachande]

Woah woah woah woah, what is this? I have the LE already, but this is an entirely different story.

 

[123rl]

It was a special promo copy - never officially on sale. 2nd hand copies go for £100 + though

It's a damn nice set though...I just wish I'd had the chance to buy it

 

[Lord Error]

Re: Ico special box set. What's in the big box? There's something that looks like a book and a smaller box.

 

[gstaff]

fun!

1 - PS2 < Fire effect and lightning look a little weak
2 - GC
3- GC
4 -PS2
5 - GC
6- PS2
7 - GC
8 -GC
9 - PS2
10 -PS2
11 - PS2
12 - GC
13 -GC

Great, but isn't there some side by sides of actual gameplay...I think that's where the Cube having a little more power makes a difference.

What do you mean? Why would that make a difference? It's rendering the same stuff and the cutscenes used higher quality models anyways.

did everyone miss this?

According to a Capcom rep, a limited edition version of the PlayStation 2 game is also planned, although specifics like box art, final price, bonus features, and even a definite release date have not been finalized just yet.

hawt! hope europe gets something as well.
