, posted Wed 25 Feb 14:53
Well, a few interesting things have come out...
About RE4, it's now official, confirmed from Capcom and Mikami himself, Umbrella is no longer in RE4, it's gone. But, of course, whatever that happens in the game, it will be related to it.
They also said it'll be GC exclusive, and PS2 wouldn't be able to handle it (Hmmmm... reaally?), also no more door thingies, it'll be continuous. And, oh surprise, they promised it'll be terrorific.
Starring Vandal.net as "the source".
As for Siren... no news, but some words from its director and a fact that I found really interesting. The interview should be coming out at Meristation, in Spanish, one of these days. The words are (directly translated from Spanish): There's no "Justice" concept, as we know it, in this game, since there are no "good" or "bad" characters, just 2 basic groups, the survivors and the cursed ones, obeying their most basic instincts. Nothing new, really, but wanted to point it out since they're from the director himself. Another thing that has shocked me, since Iggy commented it was based upon a book, is that there was a real case in Japan of a village whose inhabitants, all of them, appeared dead one day  . Sounds like a terror story indeed.
PS: And sorry Iggy, for putting both titles together in the same thread  . I envy you so much..... I want to (decently) play Siren...
Oboromaru. Yup seems they're all "one-eyed" masked guys now. Just coincidence.
Damn boredom that can kill you with a sword!

So does Leon get to fight a "New" evil? Perhaps a supernatural evil? Personally, I'm hoping for some kind of supernatural villian (like Silent Hill) combined with the techno-horror that we saw in the rest of the series.
Well, if Umbrella is gone, I would really like to know who took down Umbrella, and how it all went down. (Was it the Redfields? RE 3 1/2?)
And will we get to see... Wesker?!? (*Gasp, what if Wesker is the new villian!?!*)

Exactly. The justice is on the side of the guy who has the hammer, and the evil is on the side of the one who gets hammered.

Actually, if I remember well, that also happenned in the 30-s in the village of Siren (well, sort of. Tohohohohoho). But in Hanyuda, 33 people died, and in the real village, 30 people died and 3 people were wounded. (prepares to get hagued badly and without vaseline).
BRANDON! What's wrong with my review of Siren? My english must be even more lame than I thought...
Have I already said here that Siren was amongst my favourite games ever? It was my motivation to buy a PS2 again, and I think I haven't played a better game before or since. That simple. Stupid people that don't like the game because it's not scary or it's not beautifull can go screw themselves with anything they want, I don't care. Video games have been created to make games like Siren. Siren and Segare Ijiri.
Edit : Oh, and it's not really based on a book. Some book has a really similar situation and some characters that have nearly the same role or the same name. At best, it's a really, really far adaptation of the book.
Edit 2 : in an interview with a Korean magazine, Iwafune (yes, the Capcom Iwafune) said Siren was his favourite game of 2003. Let's see how much BH4 will be influenced by this...
