"I think Resident Evil 4 will suck"

Okay, maybe not suck, but it just wont be a good Resi game. Point being: I saw the video on the Cube DVD, its more action packed looking and stuff like Metal Gear Solid rather than tense and atmospheric like the original Resis and Zero.

Asher is right, those sorts of enemies only make you scared of dying and going back to your last save point and doing it all again.

A zombie leaping at you from no where makes you jump in your seat.


Just like the Flood in Halo are the least scary alien race ever, but a headcrab leaping onto your face out of a small gap in the ceiling in Half-Life makes me jump in my seat and spazz the mouse around.

I think it looks brilliant, more action-packed than normal with all the zombie plagued anxiety you'd expect from a Resi game. And bare in mind, that was only one segment of the game, so you could expect a more atmospheric environment later on.

Was Vamp scary in MGS2? No.

Was zombies jumping out of cupboards at you scary? Yeah.

Was Vamp a fast, energetic freak? Yeah.

Were the zombies slow and lurching? yeah.

But still the zombies were scarier.

I'd say a village full of intelligent brain eaters with chainsaws, teamwork and an insane urge for blood is more scary than some rabid dogs and some slow and lurching zombies.
