Bloody huge download over 3gbTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 10:43 AM
As fun as this game was for everyone, I didn't like it too much because of the fact that they started removing the 'zombie' element from the game. Maybe I'll buy it whenever its on DotW but for now, no thanks.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 10:46 AM
What a dumb release slot.. Why didn't they wait a week and get away from the Gears fallout..Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 10:48 AM
I left it downloading while I went to pick up Gears at 7am, then immediately threw gears aside upon returning home and booted up RE. Its pretty snazz, just as good as I remember it and crisp looking in HD. Gears can wait, I'm probably going to spend the day with this. :)Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 10:50 AM
i would get this but i have no money after buying dead islandTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 10:50 AM
Weren't they also suppose to release this on a disc at retailers?Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 10:51 AM
Started the download, I thought Code Veronica was out today too, o wellTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 10:59 AM
Code Veronica is next week... and how the hell is 3gb huge? Ive downloaded 6.8GB gamesTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:04 AM
i had this on gamecube it came on 2 discs awesome game i'll be buying when i get some pointsTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:09 AM
I bought the Gears 3 Xbox and I dont even care about Gears 3 I just wanted the controllers and harddrive... I will be playing RE4 until I have all the chieves which shouldnt take long considering Ive beatin this game more than any other game ever going back to the original release on Gamecube... then Ill play New Vegas Lonesome Road... then Ill probably go back to RE4 and IF there is time before RAGE I MIGHT play Gears 3... Im just saying I dont know why people are all trashing RE4 and Lonesome Road for releasing the same day as Gears 3 cause believe it or not there are people who genuinely love Xbox and could care less about Gears (or Halo for that matter)Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:12 AM
@6 only in Japan. I didn't get to play this the first time around. Already purchased and looking forward to Playing.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:15 AM
Not enough money, need to sell Blops, Sims 3 and Dead Island for Gears DLC, and the rest goes towards something else in the future.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:16 AM
Damn my 1meg broadband. I'm downloading Lonesome Road (under 500mb) first so I can play that over the next couple of days while this downloads. Also count me in the group not bothered about gears, so I'm glad these have come today.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:16 AM
I forgot to mention that if it wasnt for RE4 there wouldnt even be a Gears of War franchise... Cliffy B even said himself that the biggest inspiration for Gears was RE4 and almost every third person shooter since has used the same over the shoulder stiff play styleTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:23 AM
had a problem downloading it from console marketplace....having to download it off xbox dot com....so can't w8, gears is on hold for a whileTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:40 AM
As soon as I'm done work I'm all over this. 4th time I've bought this damn game ... worth it.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:40 AM
ug, now i have to hear ashley yell "help me leon" :/Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:42 AM
Ah I could download this whilst at work.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:42 AM
I am buying this definetly!Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:46 AM
this is a must have but have to divy time between it and GearsTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:53 AM
soooo this isn't available at like ebgames or wal-mart ? no retail for this ? :STuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:55 AM
I'm playing this before Gears 3.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 12:04 PM
got my game downloading right now to play. cause i dont give a crap about gears 3 so i dont have to worry about it getting in my way of achievemnetsTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 12:05 PM
at #6, they only released it on disc in japan and the company accidently said they were doing it in the US but never actually had plans on doing soTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 12:07 PM
I didn't even realize this was coming out, I just happened to see it on the Spotlight area. This made my day I love this game!Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 12:24 PM
Pass this...waiting for RE:CVX next week. I'd rather to buy RE 1 to 3 over RE 4, no offense.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 12:31 PM
I've been trying to download this for hours and am still only at 20% completion. What's funny is that I pay for a 30MB connection.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 12:57 PM
Had this on the Gamecube but never played it, be getting this tomorrow (as I have no money now).Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 01:07 PM
Bit surprised by the price, thought it would be 1200 or 1600 points, now I don't have enough left for Code Veronica :(Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 01:17 PM
*sigh* I really wish I had a larger HDD. This is my biggest dissapointment ever, that I can't get this on 360 untill I get a new HDD and the £15 for the game and another £15 for CVX. I may hang on in hopes of a Physical release.... I own each game 3 times already but one more time (at the very least) can't hurt!Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 01:47 PM
@30 I'm right with you on the HDD space issue. I really wish they would of released this on retail disc over here!Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 01:58 PM
taking........so........long..........to........download :(Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 02:01 PM
Resident Evil 4 is a great game but I have never played Resident Evil 5. Can anyone give me an idea of how they compare? I was thinking of buying it someday but I'm just not sure yet...Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 02:07 PM
#33 resi5 is good.....4 is the definitive resi though....resi5 u can pick up for like £10 now so well worth getting....its got 2 player mode, extra add ons u can buy....its a cool game but 4 will always be better :)Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 02:26 PM
The first one is still the best.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 02:49 PM
My favorite was Nemesis. Played all of them with the exception of this one. Might have download this when the price drops a bit. Anybody know if they will be remastering Nemesis?Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 02:53 PM
Ha. I set this to download and then went to school for the day. It should be completed when I get home. Cannot wait. I bought this for GC pre-order, then again for Wii and now for 360. Quite possibly my favorite game ever. And for those complaining about "oh! Why did they release this when gears was released! Oh the huge manatee!!!!1!" Not everyone is getting Gears 3. Just because YOU have a conflict with it doesn't mean we all should be deprived of a great gameTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 03:09 PM
I still feel it's abit over priced on the Australian Marketplace, so I bought some USA MS Points of Ebay and used them on my USA account to get the game cheaper. I just felt it was too much..Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 03:18 PM
What I don 't like is the status it shows. resident evil 4, should be Resident Evil 4 HDTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 03:30 PM
Big file, oh well, its worth it.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 03:47 PM
Thanks #34, I will have to pick it up when I need something to play.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 03:59 PM
ugh, 6 hours and only 35% completeTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 07:33 PM
Bought it but I got too caught up in Gears! This weekend will be a Gears/RE MARATHON!Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 08:02 PM
@33 resident evil 5 is a shortened, boring, enhanced graphics version of Resident evil 4 Beat resident evil 4 first time in 24h game time. beat 5 in 8 hours first time... i can now go through the game in 2 hours, its sad. Now that this is out i will most likely never put in resident evil 5 again.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 08:06 PM
this is great!! but is there any chance they will bring this out on a hard copy??? (retail disc) please be so...Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 08:42 PM
If they can put that on XBL it being over 3 GB, we NEED SONIC ADVENTURE 2 BATTLE, well at least I do, Sonic doesn't compare to zombies but I'm just sayingTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 08:42 PM
1360 ms points is what this game really costs not 1600 as previously announcedTuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 09:02 PM
Capcom will release this on disc as soon as all the fans buy it as a download. They'll say they're bringing them to disc by "popular demand". Usual Capcom BS.Tuesday, September 20, 2011 @ 11:22 PM
I want this. But I think I'm going to try and hold out for a disc release. Worst case scenario I'll get it DoTW. Do Games on Demand ever go on DoTW? I don't recall any but I've been wrong before. Like once or twice... :)Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 12:03 AM
I would try Resident Evil 4 on pc before wasting the money on this upscaled versionWednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 01:17 AM
If they decide to to a disc release, I'll get it. If not, they aren't getting my money or hard drive space.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 01:34 AM
@47 Actually, in the UK it's 1840 or £14.99Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 02:13 AM
One of the best games ever. I only wish they would have put a little more effort into the achievements. Only 12 for 1000? Come on, Capcom.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 02:13 AM
I actually saved up money for this game and not Gears 3. I know that Gears will just have another game of the year edition like they had with two. I'm going to wait until they release that.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 03:08 AM
Is there going to be a retail copy? Because 3.8GB is going to murder my HDD.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 03:28 AM
@55 at this moment in time all we know for sure is that it's only retail in Japan, but knowing Capcom in a couple of months they'll release it retail over US and Europe.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 03:47 AM
I might wait until a potential retail release either happens or is beyond the likelihood of happening. Anyway, I got Gears last night and F1 2011 on Friday so I'm not gonna be short of stuff to play.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 07:10 AM
No disc version = no purchaseWednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 07:17 AM
@58 you need to get over having a physical copy when the game is a classic and only £15Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 07:46 AM
@59, you have to consider though. I'm a huge Resi fan. Have been since I was 3 and saw my uncle on RE1. And the fact these arent getting physicals in the West really bummed me out. I'd love to have a physical release to add to my collection. But this is Capcom. They said no retail, so in a few months they'll announce the Retail. Like with SSF IV Arcade editionWednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 07:54 AM
@60 holy crap you were 3 when Resi 1 came out?! God damn I feel old nowWednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 08:15 AM
@50 no money spent on resident evil is a waste of money. @58 no purchase = your loss.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 08:59 AM
May have to get this and sell my PS2 edition in a shiny tin. Never did get round to playing it since I bought it aeons ago!Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 09:17 AM
who cares the cost, who cares what it looks like, who cares when it was released. im sure they went in knowing they would make some money off this but not enough to make it have its own day and red carpet. as for everyone else who complains that it lacks the "ZOMBIE" feel, get off your high horses. i do agree with you tho that its more fun blasting the heads off of creatures, and the undead. but they went a different direction and it worked. i remember when this game came out on gamecube and everyone was bitching about it "the PS fanboys" i love PS so dont get all butt hurt, but they were saying its all down hill from here. well i like to think that it only went up hill and with the release of "RE5" is when it went downhill. they should have threw out "RE5" made the "Lost in Nightmares" an actual full blown game, called that RE5 and stuck with the traditional scary mansion and puzzles. instead of sending them to africa where your given a an AI who does nothing at all. RE4 was guilty of this with Ash they need to realize that the game is better when your a lone not when someone is tailing you making comments, yelling for help, or grabbing items even if it is for your benefit. all in all im buying RE4Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 09:46 AM
$19.99? yeah right, i got this for the GC and Ps2 im not paying more than $10.00 for this game again. nuff said.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 10:13 AM
Hmmm... To buy or not to buy? I got this already on Wii and 20€ is pretty salty price. But on the otherhand, this has achievements.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 11:25 AM
'unbridled survival horror genius' *bursts into fits of laughter*Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 12:29 PM
@ 34 - Resi 4 is the MODERN definitive title but the true winner is RE2 with the added semi-different B-Story. @ THC Blunted - RE5 is good but it's a pro/con on the same page. A) It's best done with a partner as the AI can be a bit reckless and annoying and sadly B) Co-op takes away the "Fear" from Resident Evil as a true survivor game. I understood the Shop element from 4 due to the evolving enemy type but co-op didn't have the same gripping feeling any previous title gave off. Not to say it wasn't good though, just truly not the same. I will say that it's similar to the Dead Space 1 and 2 comparison. The first game was definitely scary and filled with epic shock value moments and played with your sense. The second game came off as more disturbing rather than scary but was a much more paced roller coaster ride.Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 02:59 PM
I owned this game 4 times now. GC, PS2, Wii, and now this version. Who really gives a crap, if you're a fan you will buy it since its one of the best games ever made. " Oh no, its not on disc, well that means its shit and I just need a physical copy to play a game!!"Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 05:00 PM
I was tired and only fought to the first save point, just aiming with the left stick was odd. Aside from that it looks pretty good I'll just have to get used to it or see if it'll let me change that..Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 11:38 PM
I still got my gamecube demo and play it every now and then soon as I get the internet iam downloading this first.Thursday, September 22, 2011 @ 10:25 AM
res 4 was the best oneFriday, September 23, 2011 @ 12:29 PM
Don't give a damn bout gears 3 sucks bollocks compared to resi 4 :DSaturday, September 24, 2011 @ 02:47 AM
was goin 2 buy this but at 15.99 what a rip offThursday, September 29, 2011 @ 09:54 PM
Why does this game take for fucking ever to download DXSaturday, October 29, 2011 @ 11:50 AM
