Anybody pissed about N-Gage Degeneration?

[Harry Mason]

It's a service now for most, if not all, Nokia phones. It's not an actual system.

I didn't know it was a service ...hell that's even worse.

[Henry Spencer]

this could easily have been turned into a decent psp title with better production values, but noooooooooooo capcom have taken a sworn oath to never bring a resident evil title to the psp .

Yeah, it is very odd that Capcom haven't released a RE title for the PSP and the likes of Koanmi have with Silent Hill: Origins. And they only release this on the N-Gage service? Bizarre choice indeed, Capcom.

[Gradon]

Lol.
There was a petition for an RE for PSP, Capcom said if it got <Insert Designated Number Here> signatures, they'd consider doing it for the fans.
Wait, was that 2007? I think it was...

[James]

this is very true. My friend had the N-Gage, that thing was terrible to talk into, you had to put the taco on its side to talk...really weird layout and such.

This was a myth. The phone was completely usable like a normal phone.

I came in here knowing people would think N-Gage 2.0 was a hardware, not a service. Glad to see SOME people are on the know how. =P

The movies didn't look bad but apparently the game sucks. It weighs in at a hefty 2.3mb so I didn't really expect much anyway.

[Harry Mason]

I wasn't pissed off mainly because I actually have a Nokia phone >_>

The ending pissed me off though.

How's the gameplay? Any good? It looks like there are a lot of chapters to play through even for a phone game.

I wish they would have released it on other consoles, via online stores. I thought the game look pretty fun lol. I mean, it's basically a crappy looking low budget RE4 with all the same controls + old school zombies and dogs. I never thought I'd want to play it but after looking at some of the videos I'd like to give it a go. How much is a nokia phone that's compatible with the game by the way? I have a nokia phone, but not one you can download the game on to.

Wow, this topic just got bumped so this is a VERY late reply... But...

The game has 12 (IIRC) Chapters, although one of the chapters is literally only 30 seconds long and only quick time events. My first run took me only a little over an hour on it's easiest setting. There's also a mercenary mode. You're only able to play as Leon but there are weapon sets to choose from.

Gameplay is fine. It plays just like RE4. It's a little slower since you don't have a trigger button (you press a button to enter 'aim' mode). You won't need to worry about getting overwhelmed though (again, this was at the easiest setting) since the zombies are slower than the Ganado. It even has its own version of the merchant and several weapons.

The ending was a little disappointing though

Final boss was a joke. If you know what to do then you don't actually need to shoot it.

Also the ending was basically a recreation of one of the scenes from the movie. This is one of the better looking games for a cell phone, I'd admit. But if they were just going to do that they might as well have used screencaps from the movie. Claire looks terrible.

It's so sad that the truly awesome concept of having RE4 gameplay with old school zombies could turn out like this. But if this wasn't developed by Capcom I'll guess I'll let it slip.

But the concept is how RE6 should be IMO. But with tons of zombies, because having two slow ass zombies on screen with super-action Leon ends in some serious ownage of the undead.

[nemesiswontdie]

i dont think that looks that bad actually, theres just no blood and the graphics are crap but other than that it doesnt look that bad imo.

lol..I forgot about this topic, thanks for the late reply
I'd play this game if they would put it on DS or PSP, looks fun..

[AlecMayhugh]

Who freakin' has an N-Gage anyway? It is Degeneration though. Im a fan of the movie, i think its pretty rad.

[JcFFx]

Who freakin' has an N-Gage anyway?

There's like a good dozen or so nokia models that support it... >_>

I bought this last weekend, had taken me ages to get it working because my phone and wifi weren't working properly together.

Anyone not bothering with this because of it's platform, it's developer, whatever else is just missing out. When you look at it for what it is, it's a brilliant game. The only limitations are the controls, but even they're perfectly acceptable once you've played a little.

It's a really faithful recreation of nu-Resident Evil in mobular form. Mercenaries, Merchant system for buying, selling and upgrading, QTEs, with a sprinkling of zombies of constantly mutating tyrants.

I'm putting together a more in-depth feature for it because i know so many people aren't going to bother, but that's there loss anyway!

Congratulations on not reading ANY of the thread before posting!

I'm willing to bet there are other games out there not delivered by their regular developers that you've enjoyed, so why turn your back on a game in a franchise you love just because of who developed it? Makes no sense at all.
