I'm not joking when I say there are little or no load times at all.theacoustician said:
There are 2 discs.
edit: there are definitely none of those annoying load scenes with the door opening or walking up steps - I know what you're talking about

I picked this up last night too.
It's definitely the best RE game yet control wise and graphics wise. I'm not too far into it so I can't comment on the story, but from the looks of it, it's going to have the best story too.
It has a very Blair Witchy feel to it which is nice and so far I have very little complaints:
1.) Why the widescreen? Come on people I know it's the wave of the future and all but the majority of us are still playing games on our 27 inch Quasar TV sets. At least make widescreen an option and NOT the only default.
2.) If I was in a village full of hostile, near-
like individuals I would probably turn and back up a little faster. Yeah. I know this game is all about being cautious and all that...but damnit, Leon...TURN FOO'!
3.) A quick weapon change thing would have been nice. I'm an ammo whore with these games so I'm always switching weapons. Rifle if their far enough away, pistol for mid-range, and shotgun if they get too close. Having to go in and out of the inventory screen to equip is a pain!
But these are some severely MINOR issues. So far, it's an excellent game. Finally an action/adventure game where grenades are USEFUL. It seems like in most action games you only come up against 2 or 3 scattered enemies at a time making grenades useless. In RE4 there are often large groups of enemies slowly pacing towards you. It makes for some very satisfying kills with a incediary grenade or something.

Yeah I use that all the time....but I'm talking about when you're aiming and you target one enemy then another who's say, 90 degrees to your right. If he moved just a LITTLE bit faster it would be perfect. Plus what's up with the enemies being able to dodge left and right but Leon can only turn, never strafe. Oh well. Can't have everything I guess.

True. I will admit it's a great Resident Evil / action game...but I think the new Metal Gear Solid blew it out of the water, personally.
Although there is nothing better then drilling a shot gun round into the head of those
people....satisfying!elpmis said:

I was going to say that.. I generally can't stand the controls for the whole genre, so I've always avoided it. Except I don't do FPS on consoles either, so I'm not really drawn to this. There are too many games to play that I'd more likely enjoy than to try to like this just because I'm supposed to.ChikkenNoodul said:
Kind of nice to see some of those changes, for personal reasons, but again, I just don't have the desire. Much like the whole genre, I'd rather actually watch someone else play it than suffer through it myself. shrug
UPDATE:
I'm now on Disc 2, and on the final chapter (chapter 5) with just under 20 hours logged.
I am currently using a fairly upgraded Blacktail, Striker and Semi-Auto Rifle mainly
For bosses I pull out my Killer7, which is a better .45 you find can purchase on Disc 2 (it's better than the broken butterfly).
All I can tell you is that shit is really hairy now and finding ammo is an issue.
I plan on beating the game before the end of the week
