  • RE 4 might not have the greatest graphics but still at the price it’s at it is worth it .There’s lots to do and reasons to go back and then go back some more . It’s an awesome game and if you are a Resident Evil fan then there’s no reason to miss this ,and those that have played it (like me) and need a trip down memory lane to reminisce then this is a good way to do it . Next week with CV will be no different .

  • Also regarding the Platinum trophy issue . Yeah it would have been nice because it would have for sure been one I would have gotten , but it doesn’t detract from the experience .

  • Re4 Awesome :)

  • I have played Resident Evil 4 to death on the gamecube then the ps2. I am going to have to mull over whether it is worth going through again with out Move support and no Platinum (seems odd, but I do not know how trophies are decided).

    The discounted price is nice, and this game is a steal at 10$. Just have to debate whether it is worth it to me. I suppose I should see how much of an improvement the HD treatment is.

    Quite the nice free haul this month, 3 Resident Evil games. Nice. I may finally make use of my free PS1 classic ‘folder’!

  • Okay, so finally….FINALLY PS Plus is feeling like a good investment. Just keep up this kind of treatment, and I’l renew it forever…

    I’ll be playing RE4 to 100% completion for the THIRD time on the THIRD system…and can’t wait.

  • to captainjarin why dont you just shut up talk about trophie hunters you downloaded resident evil 4 yesterday just for the trophies remember and now your criticall of other people dood get a freaking life and stop talking because the hypocrate here is you people play whatever they want and buy whatever they want its not like there using your money all you do is sit at home get on the blog and talk about people with an attitude like this you must be a very lonelly person shut up and worry about yourself

  • Shame cant even log in to buy it….

  • love resident evil 4 graphics are crisp and still a load of fun defenetly worth the $10.00

  • Please answer my question!?I have been searching for a long time now.Currently I have heard thatpsn up will be up by o’clock and it is now where I am living.
    So could you please confirm the time the update will be finished?

  • *Please answer my question!?I have been searching for a long time now.Currently I have heard that psn will be up by 5 o’clock and it is now where I am living.
    So could you please confirm the time the update will be finished?

  • @post 259 if you are in the EU watch here http://twitter.com/#!/PlayStationEU will tell you when they have fix this stupid problem e – e

  • dose saint rows2 have trophies

  • It’s a RE party and were all invited. PS+ members are getting the complete RE experience all in 1 week. Thats sick.
    Kudos on RE4 being only $19.99, plus 50% off for Plus members, thats a great deal. I have not played the Burnout Crash demo yet, but im guessing the price should be more in league with $15, but I will have to play it first to give final judgement.
    Saints Row 2 is a good game, so If your looking for GTA with custom charachters, this may be a great experience for you.
    I’m predicting the Street Fighter 3 Theme to sell well at $0.99. Heads up sony, this is the perfect price for all themes.
    I swear, Altered Beast was an awesome game when I had it on my Genesis, now however, Huuum. I may still pick it up and add it to my collection though.
    Sports fans need to play that NBA 2K12, its that good.
    I could have remembered seeing FFVI on this weeks DROP. What happened sony ? This could have put this PSN update through the roof, in any case, im giving this update a heavy 4/5, this is a very solid update sony. great work. Winners this week again are Plus Members. ( is anyone surprised )
    As always gamers, Keep On Gamin.

  • fixx the network nowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I would go for resi 4 but sadly no co-op.

  • hey top-level-ceo quit your crying there working as fast as they can its not going to kill you to stop play games for a few hours

  • whats wrong with psn please tell us

  • when are there going to be some new comic on coimc store

  • Sony dropped the ball with the RE4 Trophies. No platinums, lots of bronzes, meanwhile I get full 1000GS for the 360 version.. Guess which version I’ll be getting despite the Plus discount?

  • It’s great to see Resident Evil 4 here, but is it going to get Move support?

    RE4 [other platform] Edition was easily one of the best motion controlled games when it was released on [other platform], and it would be great to see Move controls applied here

  • How about a post on this Network down time?

    I mean, we don’t need details, but your (crappy) default troubleshooting messages on a failed connection tell your users to turn stuff off and unplug things as if it’s all our fault. Please post something to acknowledge that it’s actually on your end.

  • C’mon!!! Bring us Resident Evil Archives (RE 1 Remake) with HD graphics and Move Support!!!! Would be awesome!!!!!! BTW already get Resident Evil 4 HD !!! Great!!!!

  • @259. i think ther ewas sum update this week or something like that.I dontknow any diffinate time frame it goes up or anything, but I know it wont stay down for more than 24 hrs or 8 hours. Without expenation for it..

    Mcbuttz78
    vp-psn leagionaire group

  • come on and get the network up and running again

  • What are you guys talkin’ about the network is working fine .

  • @ElektroDragon

    The ps3 and 360 have the same number of archievements-trophies, so we are talking about 12 trophies and you expect to have a plantium for that?
    Don’t get me wrong i very much liked if re4 have a plantium but with 30+ trophies but it doesn’t change my mind about getting the game and the fact that the 360 version has 1000 gamescore points for 12 archievements just sounds cheap because no other game offers you that amount of GS for 12 trophies in fact all the arcade capcom games have the same amount of archievements and a total of 200 GS.

    I have both systems and the fact that the ps3 version was 50% off for plus was just enough reason to buy it here, and the funny thing about the comments i read of people complaining of re4 trophies its that they have a very low trophie levels so you don’t even are trophie hunters your just complaining because another system another value for that 12 trophies.

  • @Tank_Baked the network is down in the EU so unless you live here your fine…

  • Oh ok thanks iiHate .

  • the network is down for me cant login in on my system at all getting the 8002a548 code

  • RE4 – PS Move = No buy.

    I played the game several times before on the gamecube. It would of been a worth the purchase if it had PS Move support.

  • @Tank no probs
    @err0r_k1ll4 it keeps timeing out for most people so far as i know

  • for those in the EU just repostin this
    “PlayStationEU PlayStation Blog EU

  • ty iihate just wish it would hurry up i got to go to work soon and i wanted to get a little gaming in before i have to go dont look like thats going to happen today

  • Had this game when it was on PS2 with the Resident Evil Collection . It had Outbreak and Code Veronica . A must have again as far as Resident Evil 4.

  • i’d just like to point out that it’s not fifteen years in saints row 2 its actually five :)

  • The network is down currently, but thank god I downloaded RE:4 just in time. It’s something to do while PSN is down.

  • Hey Playstation Blog, your awesome, but PLEASE try to do better with this network down stuff by letting us know. i would like to know that ya’ll ain’t been hacked again. thank you.

  • Well the network better be up by tomorrow so i can get the Moon Zombie map in Black Ops. And can someone inform me on a timeframe for when the network will be up in New York? It would be very much appreciated. Or any information on why the network is down?

  • I dont see how everyone loves RE4. I just cant get use to the controls. This is my first time playing RE4 and I dont understand why you can’t shoot while moving. Will there be an update for the controls. I can’t even get past the village at the beginning of the game. smh

  • Hmm for some reason my PS3 keeps loging me of PSN and its geting on my nervers

  • guys who knows about the 80 error codes n how can i find the solution for it ?

  • i heard RE4 doesn’t have any sort of online multiplayer so i’am not willing to dish out the 19.99 atm.

    I’d like to see the Mercenaries 3d mini game make it’s way over to the ps3.

  • And where are the other games..?
    We paid 300 dollars to be able to BUY games and download it from psn store and it doesn’t have anything good but 4 or 5 games.
    Where is Killzone ?or Black Ops,Modern Warfare, Batman, Guitar Hero, Bleach:Soul Ignition, Marvel vs Capcom 3, GOW 3, any Resistance?
    And i know u guys are going to say :”its good,have a lot of games ” or ” they cant do it because the games are too big” but it ist true because u know Infamous 2 are in the pstore (what surprised me) and it have a lot of games but the most are minis or silly games that anyone would buy (or not..)
    I am not criticing, only saying that u are making the pstore better but u should do it faster because the are a lot of games that we cant download yet..

  • it finally let me sign back on awesome!!!

  • i was playing S&D and i get sign out WTF….. FML -__-

  • y am i nt ablae to sign in plzzz help me

  • Hi I was just wondering if Payday the Heist will be 20%? Do I have to wait until it comes out to get this discount or did they remove it because at one point I know they said it would be 20% off. Also, what future dlc will be released for this game? Thank you.
