RE4 walkthroughs which start with "USE THE INFINITE ROCKET LAUNCHER" advice?

Most of our walkthrough pages used to be like that.  It doesn't really make sense to write a walkthrough when the instructions require you to have already completed the game in order to follow them.

I remember a paperback Goldeneye 64 guide I had that just said stuff like "Go into the next room and deal with the enemies, then down the corridor taking out the enemies on the way". I mean, the whole challenge is how best to tackle the enemies, not pushing the analogue stick up and going to the next room.

But yeah, RE0 HD is pretty exciting. REmake HD was cool but it only felt half as cool as it could since regular RE has been on loads of other platforms over the last nearly 20 years. With RE0 HD, this is the first time the game will be on something other than the GC in any form. Also it looks like they're putting a lot more effort into this one in terms of redoing character models. It makes me hope for some new modes and content as well. Not a big fan of Rebecca's new doll-like face, though.

Actually, RE0 and REmake were both Nintendo-exclusives on both GameCube (2002) and Wii (2009-ish). And, in regards to Rebecca, her face looked different in RE0 HD promotional material - maybe they stretched her face.

Also, I think this also means that every single main series RE, both Revelations and both the Chronicles games will have been released on PS3, as well as Survivor on PS1 being playable on all PS3s. If you have a PS2 backwards compatible PS3, you can also play Outbreak 1 and 2 and the other two Survivor games.

Very fitting since PS1 was the source of the original RE pandemic.

It's quite logical. Xbox isn't so popular in Japan - the first console looked ugly as hell to them (plus no sleak form like PS2) and was associated with 'boring' shooting games like Call of Duty and Halo rather than 'awesome' roleplaying games like School Days.

I just meant that REmake is obviously a remake of RE1, and that had been on just about every other console and PC. RE0 is a completely original story and game so it seems more like other platforms are getting a "new" adventure rather than a remake of one. Though I did forget they were on Wii, actually.

Wasn't it kind of pointless to release them on Wii since it could play GC games anyway?

A lot of people didn't know about backwards compatibility, so it made more sense to Capcom to just re-release them as a Wii port. Historically, Nintendo hasn't been very interested in backwards compatibility, the Wii being the first home console to allow it (ignoring the handhelds, which were a mixed-bag).

So, ah, when's the next update? You skipped the 18th for some reason.

There was absolutely nothing to talk about that week. Wikis tend to get dead in Summertime.
