All the negativity surrounding RE6 (I haven't played it) and an urge to greatly thin my backlog has inspired me to return to RE4. This will be my third time finishing the game (GC/PS2/PS3), I bought the HD version a while ago, but only fired it up to take a look. I'm a little over ten hours in, at 5-2, the bulldozer bit.
I've played the game a little over the years, but it's been since 2006 since I've finished it, and I am fairly stunned at it's quality, if anything, it's more spectacular in retrospect. No one makes games of this scope, action games with this huge amount of geometry you cover, games that really feel like a journey. If asked to name my favorite game, it always tends to be something more experiential, Ico, Rez, Journey etc. But in comparison to traditional game experiences, RE4 is still in a league of it's own I think.
I have a couple of questions about the HD version, for example, the Ada campaign, Separate Ways, was built for the PS2 version, does that mean it's been straight ported to PS360, or was it raised to Gamecube standards for the Wii release then that version is used here?
Mostly I just want to invite discussion about one of the finest games ever made, and who knows, maybe dabble with what we want to see from Zwei?
Here's a random screenshot for your enjoyment:

I made an entire post on the the first aspect of difficulty changes in RE4 here:

I loved writing and researching it. The next post takes a bit longer because I need savegames from all chapters on all difficulties of the PC version. Anyone who'd like to help me out there?
