Yeah! I wonder what'll happen in 4. Leon might be in it, because he started an underground anti-umbrella corporation after RE2. I doubt Claire'll be in it, because she's just been in CV. Chris could be in it, and Jill. Or maybe those rumours about the main character being an Umbrella employee called Mark who finds out what the company are doing and turns against them are true? Who knows?
Can't wait for Zero though, only a few months now.
If you can't play it, don't whine. Its your own fault.
It rules, and having completed it, I intend to A) Purchase more of the series on GC and B) Go through it again!
;)
The game delivers on tension and on making-you-jump scares too, which is really what you want from a resi game. While past Resi games I played (I've played 1-3 on PSX to varying degrees, I won no. 3, got about half-ish way through no. 1 and didn't play much of no. 2, just the beginning sections) made me jump ocasionally, they never really felt properly tense in a scarey way... just tense when you were nearly dead because you didn't want to die and have to do it all over again... this one made me feel tense because the atmosphere was vivid and drew me into the game much more. When something scared me somehow, I then wanted revenge on it... Like those strange things with claws that infest the mansion after you've been to the Residence... One of them jumped through a window at me, and I was thinking, "Right you freak, have some of this", pulling out my Assault Shotgun and filling him full of lead. At the mometn I'm playing Mario by day and Resi by night... Not just because it's more atmospheric, but because during the day you can't see dark games very well anyway, as you get too much reflection... anyway, enough of my essay. I think this Resi is much better than any of the others I've played... and it has made me want all of the games if only to see how the plot fits... I'll certainly be getting Resi 0...

If you save after every 5 minutes, then that wouldn't suprise me...I completed Jill's game in just over 13 hours with aroun 7 ribbons left over. Brilliant game! It wouldn't work if it wasn't linear.
