		Angel Studios used some insane compression methods. RE2 is the largest cart ever, weighing in at 512 Mbits. Which in turn is close to 64 MB. Heh... Compressing 1.3 GB down to only 64 MB.

I think you mean largest N64 cart ever, because my Metal Slug 3 cart is sitting pretty at 708 megabit, and that's not even the largest Neo cart.

But yeah, the compression on RE2 is pretty impressive. I don't think there are any N64 emulators that run it well.

It's funny that tha N64 version of the game is the best version of RE2. tongue.gif

Nah, the Dreamcast and PC versions are nicer. Haven't played the Gamecube version, so I can't speak for that one, but I think it's pretty much the same as the DC rev.

Really? That's good news.

Whenever I play the game (I'll get the HDD first of course), I'm obviously going to select RE.

? You prefer the old controls? RE4 doesn't let you choose, does it?

I'm not talking graphics. I'm talking overall. (Although if you play with the Expansion Pak, it's pretty close, if not the same as the DC version).

I listed all the reasons above for why it's better. (Random item option, blood option, EX Files, RE/DMC control option).

Yeah, I meant largest N64 cart. Simple typo on my part.

		it290	Jan 6, 2005
		Yeah, but I'd rather have nicer graphics and much better sound and FMV quality.

		Cloud121	Jan 6, 2005
		I play RE for the story and everything, so that why I see the N64 version of RE2 as the best. Plus the other N64 only goodies. Expect IGN's and Gamespy's RE4 reviews tomrrow (January 7, 2005).

		Cloud121	Jan 7, 2005
		IGN's Review... Heh.. I predicted a 9.8, and look what it got. A 9.8! "GameCube exclusive for most of 2005." Fucking PS2 port... <_< Gamespy's Review...

		Here's a torrent for the Making of DVD that EB Games put out as a pre-order bonus. The Making of Resident Evil 4...

		Cloud121	Jan 9, 2005
		eToychest's Review... 96% Rating Both Gamespy and eToy mention the same wrong information: Leon was part of S.T.A.R.S. No he wasn't. Idiots...

		mal	Jan 9, 2005
		Cloud, you really need to get out more.

		Cloud121	Jan 9, 2005
		Haha. That's what everyone says.

		Cloud121	Jan 11, 2005
		GameSpot's RE4 Review... 9.6. I predicted a 9.2. Be sure to check out the video review as well. :thumbs-up: 1UP.com's RE4 Review... 10/10

		Aeris just called me. The game coming in tomorrow. Although a day late.... <_<

I've been playing it for the last two hours. :devil

Are we supposed to know who Aeris is? The only person that comes to mind is the Final Fantasy VII character.

You think you're some hardass or something with having the game before me?

Aeris is the name of the phone at GameStop (It even said "Hi, this is Aeris." when I picked it up.) I have no idea why she's named that. I asked my friend who works there, and he doesn't know anything either.

That sounds like jealousy to me. :lol:

		Cloud121	Jan 12, 2005
		I'm not jealous. I don't give a shit either way. You may have gotten RE4 before me, but look who owns more games! :lol: RE4 = Game #423

		mal	Jan 12, 2005
		With that response I'm now certain it's jealousy. [edit] Huzzah! Someone has started an RE 4 thread... over at NX..., so this one can now close.
