I'll buy it, I'm a huge RE fan, so that's just a given.
Never played RE4 though (Gamecube, never owned one)

But that aiming was painfully ponderous. Why can't they have a mode where the the analogue sticks control the aiming point absolutely.

For example:

Stick centered: Aim center
Stick far left: Aim far left.
etc
etc

I mean, it's an analogue stick! Why are we stuck with controls that feel like they are from the dark ages (1997)?

Failing that, how about a bit of snap to target? Quick flick to other targets?

One the reasons that it's so cost effective is BECAUSE of the 4870 (aka an R700)
Prior to that chip being released PC gaming was prohibitivly expensive.
The 360 was released, what, 2005? (Using the predecessor for the R700 as a GPU)
Likewise with the PS3, although less so because of it's higher price and later launch date.
And now AMD is (temporarily) competitive again we're seeing a quad core price war too.

A lot (LOT!!) has changed in the last 3 years.
For the good!
PCs are phenominally good value now, people are beginning to see that they don't need to spend 2000 pounds on a PC.

The only real problem with PCs these days is the (majority) OS, Windows! (Guess who spent 4 hours cleaning viruses and spyware off of a friends PC last night)

"In Soviet Russia..."

;)

I remember when it first came out.
It was large, seemed gimicky and was not a sucessor to the GBA.
It seemed very virtual boy.
The general feeling seemed to be, "It'll never last"

Crazy, eh?

Ooh, now we can have Blue ray disks with ~40mins of RAW 1080p on it.
MBMP FTW!! :D

It will have nothing to do with gaming of course.
Anybody seen the install sizes of 360 games? I counted zero using 9GB.
So I think 50GB BD-ROMs will do us for at least the next few weeks or so. :)
