It?s not so much that the creatures are even that scary

The Resi games were never scary anyway. They made you jump on occasion, but they're too 'b-movie' to be really scary. Now Silent Hill.... that's scary.

I tried to play RE2 for the original playstation but didn't like that a bit. On the other hand Silent Hill is waaay better than this. I'm so dislike that 'spin on the spot' control bit, it's probably just me though.

And talking of Silent Hill 3, I'm writing up my first impressions now, but can't publish them for a couple of weeks. Suffice to say: you'll like it a lot....

I am a character in a scarey game, I enter a huge room, hmm could there be a huge boss about to appear here, oh no, I am stuck on a tread mill against a one pixel thick edge of a wall... oops I died, load, replay... etc etc *zzzzZZZ* how many times do they have to f**k up this title to get the gameplay better? maybe online will be better... *LOL - maybe*

what about "dinosaurs in space", is that more coloured fuses mayhen with deadly, unfairly programmed creatures or a decent game?

p.s. dino crisis 3

I think it's fair to say RE4 will be the first true update to the series.

Wow, it's a good thing there's the "ignore unregistered users" option. Going into effect as of now.

The whole RE franchise is boring, but I quite enjoyed RE3 on the PSX and the recent movie. "Silent Hill" is darker and "scarier" but it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for RE.

Damn Krudster, did you really need to tell us that? :) SH3 has the top spot on my most wanted list already!

I think it's fair to say they've had 2 attempts at this now on the GC and neither has been an update. Why would they change anything for RE4?

Pleeeeeeease change the control method. It's like trying to pilot a mech around a haunted house.

Well you both must be gutted then because this never came out on those systems.

Well early movies and screen shots would beg to differ, oh and so would Capcom.

Resident Evil - It's like driving a car around a house (3pt turns galore) and picking up guns you arent allowed to shoot (lack of ammo)

Cack.

Turning up on a Res Evil article discussion to shout "it's crap" is a bit like wandering into an Indian restaurant and bleating "I hate Curry". You pays your money, you takes your choice.

If you like Resident Evil, you'll probably enjoy it immensely - the partner zapping system works much better than you'd expect, and the train is one of the great RE locations (pity they resort to the hoary old mansions and labs after that, though). If you don't like Resident Evil, you, er... won't.

Krudster - "useless Molotov cocktails" - ever try using them on the leech guys?

Erm, you could use the 180 turn, or at least you could in the last RE on the GC.

and picking up guns you arent allowed to shoot (lack of ammo)

if you phoned our help desk with a complaint like this it would be filed under 'user' error not 'application' error.

...and what krudster said.

I'm confident that RE4 is the update we've all been hankering after. The chaps at Capcom aren't full of shit, and if from what they've seen internally, it's a big leap forward.

As for molotov cocktails - they're great on the Leech monsters when they work, but more than half the time they end up exploding before they reach the intended target. And if you've got your partner with you - forget it - you just end up setting them on fire - or they set you on fire, one or the other.

Yes Resident Evil did but not this Resident Evil. New game, new graphics, new story, partner zapping, drop items anywhere to me at least make your comments fairly redundant, especialy as if you did by your PS1 for this your screwed. And your comment about RE4 kind of shows you have little interest in the franchise and even less knowledge with which to judge it by.

Edit : this is in responce to the comment above krudsters.

Part of Resident Evil's charm has been down to the graphics. Like it or not, the incredible standard of the art in the game would not be possible in full 3D - not yet anyway. To damn a game like this for having better graphics is completely missing the point. Of course it has better graphics, but it does have a compelling game in there too y'know.

Shit! You thought SH2 was laughable? I was absolutely gripped. SH3 so far is exceptional.

I am looking forward to this. Was a fan of the original (none of the sequels!) purely for it's claustrophobic atmosphere. Playing it on the cube was delux! As someone said, the graphics really do add to the atmosphere.

Oh - it would be nice to see silent hill on the cube.

I'd say the chances of seeing SH on the cube are fairly remote. Maybe *maybe* SH3, but I just don't think it does the numbers for Konami to justify the port.

No I utterly disagree, I thought SH2 perfectly captured that weirdness of a Lynch movie, where the characters seem almost as confused as you are. I thought it was totally groundbreaking for narrative in a videogame - quite listless, dreamy...almost druggy at times. The whole thing is like a dream, where nothing is ever quite what it seems. Genius. Res Evil's acting is almost always hammy - very much B movie standard, but if anything is laughable next to SH's efforts.

Videogame publisher Capcom has launched a special telephone helpline for consumers scared from playing its latest title Resident Evil Zero. Available now on 08700 46 55 20 (calls charged at national rates), the line has been designed explicitly to offer comfort and reassurance to terrified gamers. Players simply ring up and listen to the two-minute recorded message scripted by a top psychologist. Once the call is completed, they should feel much more calm.

Yay - more of the (quality) same. Totally immersed for about 40 minutes until an obsession with inventory management overtook me.
