Resident Evil: Revival Selection |OT| RE4 and REC:VX now in HD!
- Thread starter ULTROS!
- Start date
i think im going to buy RE4 today. ill probably wait on CVX for a while.
its been a while since ive played CVX. i did a marathon of RE in October 2 years ago and beat every game except for CVX. it had just aged so poorly for me i couldnt do it. that and it was always been my least favorite RE game.
hopefully this port perks it up for me a bit.
because he screwed it up! its not "this is Chris' blood", its "hope this not Chris' blood!"
ive played through RE4 many times, and ive always ignored the TMP. i know people swear by it, but i never bothered to upgrade it too much.
i prefer the Blacktail as well. i take it over the Red9 every time.

The stock alone cinches the victory over the Blacktail.
Now for a real question: Handcannon or Chicago Typewriter?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
luka said:
Disagree.
Raw power > accuracy since i have good aim (even without the stock, but the stock practically turns it into a sniper rifle). Red 9 is a powerful gun that can be used right up till the end since its exclusive makes it as powerful as a shotgun (even more).

IGNorant CODE:Veronica review is out.
Oh boy, and they get money for spewing such uninformed shit? The stupidity of some editors never fails to surprise. Even just watching a YouTube video would have shown him that the game runs on a completely different engine now.Richard George said:

It really is. You don't even have to waste too much ammo trying to kill enemies either. It's also a life saver when it comes to bosses too. Mendez is always a breeze with it.zerotol said:
Nah. I'm going to disagree with you. The Red9 is the best handgun in the game by far. Its exclusive feature alone surpasses anything that the Blacktail/Regular Handgun/Punisher offer. Both handguns handle good, though.luka said:
You know, it dawg.corkscrewblow said:
Soon you'll learn the errors of your way, homie! When you upgrade it, it will literally take like 2 shots to blow your enemies' head off. It's so satisfying. Not to mention it's a good alternative to the shotgun for crowd control and for your handgun when you're running out of ammo. Plus, it's a boss killer. Give it another shot and you'll be surprised.Biggest-Geek-Ever said:
I caved and bought RE4, haven't played it since I did a knife run on the gamecube and thought might as well. Seperate Ways will be new to me, atleast.
I just got to the castle, smooth sailing so far. I immediatly bought the red9(best pistol, fact) and will skip the semi auto sniper because the manual reload is that awesome.
Also, the TMP is great. Everyone who hates on it is a bad person. Completely destroys El Gigante, the Chief, and makes crowd control with burst fire into kicks a cinch.

No. I'd rather upgrade the default pistol to the max than to upgrade the Punisher. The only good thing about it is that it destroys the wooden shields easily. I never cared for the whole shooting through enemies feature the gun has. The default pistol's exclusive is that it increases the chances of getting a headshot, which is a better feature than being able to shoot through five bodies that the Punisher offers.Papercuts said:

For those who like to look cool since the red9 is easily the most distinct and bad ass looking handgun.

I just thought of something OT...Shadow Complex would be awesome with a Wiimote and nunchucks. Just copy the controls from Metal Slug.Noriega said:God the Wii's controls were amazing compared to this.
Now I have to actually aim with the control sticks

For "Resident Evil", it uses the new announcer from the Nintendo GameCube version. For "Biohazard", however, it uses the old Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 one.cvxfreak said:

I love the original "Resident Evil" voice from the Dreamcast and PS2 versions, primarily because that was the first variation of it I had ever heard.
Come to think of it, I don't even know why the GC versions changed the title voices for the 3 ports on that system. So random.

not true. tmp rounds are much easier to come by. it is perfect for lots of situations as a result. the lift ride for example. why waste a higher powered shotgun shell or pistol bullet, or heaven forebid a rifle round when a single TMP round will knock ganados off that lift just as well?The Mana Legend said:
an isolated enemy you want to knock over and knife to death... again, you only need one tmp bullet to stun them. lets not forget the huge amounts of free ammo you get for it when you upgrade its capacity.
and yes, it's great on the bosses.
but sure, if you want to waste more powerful ammo shooting down gems, go for it.

You speak the truth. Just look at HUNK using nothing but the TMP and grenades.

RE4 is so damn awesome. First time I played this game was after an operation I had on my finger back in '06. I remember tensely gripping my PS2 controller with a blackened stitched up ring finger everytime I hear the zealots chanting.
Fast forward to this HD release, after finishing normal mode and SW, I jumped right back in to play pro mode. I'm currently at 4-2 on my final run, and it's like I'm playing a whole new game. The village part kicked my ass real bad, I think I died about 20 times just before I reached the castle.
At first I thought I'd miss the wiimote pointer option for shooting but after completing the shooting range challenge and getting all bottlecaps, I'm damn well proud of myself for completing it despite Leon's shaky hands.
I also played about an hour of C:VX and I don't remember tank controls being this bad. Just a few more chapters on RE4 and I'll focus on C:VX, I hope I can complete the trophies for this game.

i totally got the two different discussions crossedThe Mana Legend said:
i thought you were saying the TMP was worthless because it wasn't powerful enough, but now i see my mistake.

You're welcome.
I've been having fun on my Pro run putting her in harms way. You know the part where you raise the cannon and then blow the door open in the castle? I put her in front of the door first to see if the cannon would kill her. It didn't, although she did complain about it.

Zero so far and I just got to the first save point in the Castle, but there have been plenty of close calls. The cabin went smoothly because I had four flash grenades, and I took the right path after that to save ammo, and Ashley got picked up and almost died. I killed the gigante just by stunning him twice with the TMP and then shooting the plaga with the BAR. I had completely forgotten about the boulders.

Luis (Red9) =Ada (Blacktail) =deadawesome
Coincidence?
Slower, more deliberate guns are better in RE, in my opinion. Since ammo is on the scarcer side, every shot needs to count. Power per shot > power per second.

I guess they wanted consistency. It seems to be the same voice actor used for the remake and RE0.cvxfreak said:

it also helps in crowd control when you may not have the time to aim when they get too close.

Quick RE4 question -- I have the punisher available for free at the moment but haven't redeemed it. I have a handgun that's upgraded in firepower and capacity (level 2). Do I sell the handgun, get the punisher and upgrade it to match where I was at? Just get the punisher and sell for cash? What's the recommended move here?
