One thing I really hate about RE4 is the sound mix. It's complete garbage on 360 in DD5.1. You can't tell where the enemies are coming from.

Speaking of speed runs, does the Stryker super fast run glitch work in these versions?
Also damn, this game is long. The freaking castle is like half the game.

Have to agree with you there. I was zooming in from far away in a castle section at an enemy and it sounded like he was right up on me lol
Stryker glitch still works on the 360.
How do you get the Stryker to have a capacity of 100? I have never heard of this upgrade.
Please share.
I'm stuck on the game now. I'm at the last mini game spot (target shooting) and I'm struggling with getting the last two figures on level D. I had been using the handgun until just recently. I watched a video online and it showed that using the TMP and just tapping the button was a better choice. Much easier. Soon though I'm sure I will get this and be able to move on. Soon.

is there some sort of side mission that you complete where the Merchant gives you a rocket launcher for free or am I mis-remembering? I don't want to waste 30K if I don't have to.

I think the Striker is better then the Riot Gun in pretty much every way once you start upgrading, but I just have to use the Riot Gun away. It feels and looks more like a shotgun, and the Striker makes it almost TOO easy at times.

Why not just use the regular Shotgun then? At least it's free.LeonSKennedy90 said:
Would be cool if you could extend the stock on the Striker.

I always thought it would have been cool to fight that giant double chainsaw Dr Salvador in the main story portian of the game. He would have made an excellent mid boss/boss and give you plenty of "Ooooooh shiiiiit" moments. That guy is a beast.
Finally started REC:VX after going throung 1, 2 and 3 and I gotta say, game feels like a step back from RE3 in some ways.
I haven't played the Gamecube games, but speaking of classic RE format, RE3 seems to have the most solid gameplay. You're never wasting bullets for (auto)aiming slightly wrong, 180 turn is a lot more responsive and the lack of dodge and push mechanics seems very weird since they worked so well on RE3. Also, the lack of a Nemesis-like enemy chasing you through multiple screens, tho I don't know how well that would work on REC:VX stage design.
In a way, game feels like a sequence to RE2 that ignored RE3.
Still like it a lot, tho. Settings are cool, Claire and Chris are nice characters, ammo to stuff-to-kill ratio is all right, Boss fights are tense and Wesker is so boss on this game.
Also, I had this memory of Alexander Ashcroft being just Japan being weird, but he is not a bad character. He is insane, all right, but the backstory found in documents actually create a nice atmosphere where his insanity is justified.

You can't knife Krauser when the QTE prompt for evading comes up, if you're using the default control scheme. Way to go, Capcom!

I think I'm the only one who thinks the Chicago Typewriter is lame. You point it at an enemy and they die immediately. Barely any of the imagery of pumping a quivering dude full of lead. Maybe if they lowered the power on it to TMP levels...?

Xbox? You knife with R1+square and dodge with R1+L1 on PS3.AndyMoogle said:
Have there been any good analysis or comparisons done with both titles? I've read in this thread that someone offered comparison screenshots but I have not seen those (yes I'm talking about you Mr. snap0212!!!). What is the general consensus for those that have played both titles on both versions. Are they similar enough that it's a matter of controller preference?

True. I think there's some sort of unwritten rule stating that Chris and Leon can't be in the same game, even if it is a mercs spinoff.

Yeah, I'm playing the 360 version. There are two kind of dodges. It's either LT + RT, or X + A. When it's the X+A dodge, you can't knife because you use the knife with LT+X. I changed the control scheme and then it worked fine.Napalm_Frank said:

Can't you just not press A and knife?AndyMoogle said:

That's not how this game works. If you press X during a QTE, the game will expect you to press A as well. The X button alone does nothing whatsoever during that QTE. It's obviously glitched.Napalm_Frank said:Can't you just not press A and knife?
You can't shoot either. You can draw the gun or knife, but you can't press X to attack. With the second control scheme where you use LB+RT to use the knife, it works fine.

In PS3 it works just fine so must be a bug.AndyMoogle said:

And the original Shotgun is better than the Riot Gun at longer ranges. The Riot Gun does more damage at... medium distance, I guess. But at that distance you should be using a pistol anyway. Really the only advantage the Riot Gun has is that it looks cooler.
The striker is 2 squares smaller than the other shotguns, no? I think I'll go that route in the pro playthrough. Upgrading regular shotty a bit, skipping the riot gun, and eventually go all out on the striker. I only use shotguns when at least two guys are right in my face, or to blow a parasite head clean off at point blank. Seems like a waste of ammo otherwise. So I shouldn't have an issue with more limited range on the striker.
And hot damn, cabin defense on pro is hard!

It's been discussed to death, but yeah. Striker is smaller, has a higher capacity, damage, firing speed, and better handling than any of the other shotguns. Its only downside is that it's the most expensive shotgun to upgrade, but I usually do what you're suggesting. Hold onto the original Shotgun, upgrade the capacity to get free Shotgun ammo when I'm low, and hold out until the Striker.

Believe it or not, Riot Gun is actually more expensive to fully upgrade than Striker.
There are 5 shooting ranges in the game and you only need to visit the first 4 to get all the bottle caps.

You should be able to see them on the map. Blue dots = sub mission. There are at least two in the castle if I'm remembering correctly.

I've never liked the Striker because I don't like firing from waist level. When I take aim with the shotgun (or almost any gun), I don't pull the trigger unless it's pointed at someone's eye. The camera angle is just weird when you aim that high with the Striker.
