  • Bloody huge download over 3gb
  • 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.
  • What a dumb release slot.. Why didn't they wait a week and get away from the Gears fallout..
  • 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. :)
  • i would get this but i have no money after buying dead island
  • Weren't they also suppose to release this on a disc at retailers?
  • Started the download, I thought Code Veronica was out today too, o well
  • Code Veronica is next week... and how the hell is 3gb huge? Ive downloaded 6.8GB games
  • i had this on gamecube it came on 2 discs awesome game i'll be buying when i get some points
  • 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)
  • @6 only in Japan. I didn't get to play this the first time around. Already purchased and looking forward to Playing.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 style
  • 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 while
  • As soon as I'm done work I'm all over this. 4th time I've bought this damn game ... worth it.
  • ug, now i have to hear ashley yell "help me leon" :/
  • Ah I could download this whilst at work.
  • I am buying this definetly!
  • this is a must have but have to divy time between it and Gears
  • soooo this isn't available at like ebgames or wal-mart ? no retail for this ? :S
  • I'm playing this before Gears 3.
  • 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 achievemnets
  • 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 so
  • 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!
  • Pass this...waiting for RE:CVX next week. I'd rather to buy RE 1 to 3 over RE 4, no offense.
  • 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.
  • Had this on the Gamecube but never played it, be getting this tomorrow (as I have no money now).
  • Bit surprised by the price, thought it would be 1200 or 1600 points, now I don't have enough left for Code Veronica :(
  • *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!
  • @30 I'm right with you on the HDD space issue. I really wish they would of released this on retail disc over here!
  • taking........so........long..........to........download :(
  • 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...
  • #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 :)
  • The first one is still the best.
  • 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?
  • 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 game
  • 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..
  • What I don 't like is the status it shows. resident evil 4, should be Resident Evil 4 HD
  • Big file, oh well, its worth it.
  • Thanks #34, I will have to pick it up when I need something to play.
  • ugh, 6 hours and only 35% complete
  • Bought it but I got too caught up in Gears! This weekend will be a Gears/RE MARATHON!
  • @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.
  • this is great!! but is there any chance they will bring this out on a hard copy??? (retail disc) please be so...
  • 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 saying
  • 1360 ms points is what this game really costs not 1600 as previously announced
  • 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.
  • 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... :)
  • I would try Resident Evil 4 on pc before wasting the money on this upscaled version
  • If they decide to to a disc release, I'll get it. If not, they aren't getting my money or hard drive space.
  • @47 Actually, in the UK it's 1840 or £14.99
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Is there going to be a retail copy? Because 3.8GB is going to murder my HDD.
  • @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.
  • 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.
  • No disc version = no purchase
  • @58 you need to get over having a physical copy when the game is a classic and only £15
  • @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 edition
  • @60 holy crap you were 3 when Resi 1 came out?! God damn I feel old now
  • @50 no money spent on resident evil is a waste of money. @58 no purchase = your loss.
  • 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!
  • 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 RE4
  • $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.
  • 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.
  • 'unbridled survival horror genius' *bursts into fits of laughter*
  • @ 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.
  • 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!!"
  • 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..
  • I still got my gamecube demo and play it every now and then soon as I get the internet iam downloading this first.
  • res 4 was the best one
  • Don't give a damn bout gears 3 sucks bollocks compared to resi 4 :D
  • was goin 2 buy this but at 15.99 what a rip off
  • Why does this game take for fucking ever to download DX
  • i have played all the resident evils but this is my favorite
  • is this worth getting?
