Resident Evil 4 Remake, initially announced for next-gen only, will also come to PS4

SlimySnake SlimySnake the kinda guy to judge graphics on the basis of whether it’s next gen exclusive

Tekken 8? Best looking game ever made because it’s not coming to last gen

Horizon FW and GoW:R? Crap because it’s cross gen
lol I think HFW looks better than Ratchet. Werent you telling me Ratchet looks better? Or was it Gymwolf?

And yes, I have super powers. I took one look at TLOU and knew it was using the TLOU2 graphics. Neil was out there lying his ass off saying shit like BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP ON PS5, but I was like my spidey sense is tingling because this shit is cross gen.

Same thing with FF7-2. I took one look at those awful hair on Sephiroth and knew they were phoning it despite claiming it was next gen only. A few weeks later, they confirmed that they are re-using the character models from the last game.

I knew Tekken was next gen the moment it came on screen. It's so easy to spot these games. Im surprised many people fall for it. I see it happening over and over again with Redfall, Forza 8, TLOU remake and now this. I guess I just have too much faith in these amazing next gen consoles. They deserve better.

Totally fine with this.

PS5 just got a cost increase in Japan and other territories, it's already near impossible to find.

There's 100+ million PS4s out there so yea, make that money and put it into new games.

What a joke this gen has been so far. Games have been good of course but there hasn’t been ONE game that it’s truly next gen, even PS5 exclusives like Ratchet and Clank, and games releasing next year.

Why did they launch next gen consoles in 2020 again? What was the point?

In fact, they should’ve saved the PS4 Pro for 2020 and just release the same games so far. Nothing would’ve been lost.

When PS4 was announced, even Infamous looked next gen. This time around no game has been shown to make you think is next gen, it’s just for next gen, which is. It the same.

PS4 is simple there to boost their sales. I wish we could get a breakdown of sales based on specific platform and why devs still want to support older platforms.

Didn’t Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon 2 sold much better on PS5? It’s not even a boost anymore. If it was 50/50 or 40/60, fine, but it’s not even that.

You understand that not every remake is TLoU Part1 remake right? An actual remake like FF7Remake would benefit greatly from a current gen only release. No, it is not just “a graphic downgrade” as this is not a RE4 remaster.
You understand that most remakes stay rather close to the original. Something like the FF "remake" is not the rule but the exception. If the structure stays the same and no world changing new details are introduced then it really IS just a matter of a graphical downgrade

its a complete remake.
And? Most remakes stay rather close to the original. As long as it`s not a complete redesign all it takes to run on weaker hardware is graphical scaling....

The game from the early trailer doesn't look any better than Village and that was cross gen so it's not a big surprise.
Probably Xbox One was cut because of a combination of low expected sales and technical reasons.

I mean I called it as soon as I saw the graphics. People were trying to tell me it looked next gen or that I didnt know so I shouldnt speculate. Im like Im using my eyes.

Time proves me right once again.
Yeah, you could tell that didn't look current gen.

It was the PS4 holding back this gen all along. Fuck. I wonder if Sony had any say in this. Maybe they should acquire Capcom so we can stop this PS4 bullshit (so long as we get EVERY Capcom game day and date on Xbox of course ;))

Oh yes just according to keikaku.

Gimme all those crossgen goodness capcom. The accompanying drama is just the cherry on top.

if you look at how they have remade rs evil 2 and 3 you will see how different they are to the originals so this could be to

When they were going to launch the ps5, I had mentioned that it was too early for it to be launched since the ps4 was still in good condition, that the prudent thing would be in 2021 or 2022, nobody paid attention to me.... and look how we are today.

It’s a big day for you, isn’t it?
Not really, I want more people to play great games. Don't you?

Might have limits to scalability, but since they can target base PS4, and they're releasing on xberx, why not scale all the way down to the bone, which has more userbase than their current gen counterpart?

I know it's not the same as playing a remake, but you can of course already play through the entire original RE4 on the Quest2, and it's exactly like it always was, fully intact in every way, but in VR
I already played the original on PS2 in 2005. The remake seems to be slightly different, not only in the graphics, so I think it would feel more like an original game to me rather than something I already know.

Resident Evil 8 seems to be fantastic in VR, so I believe 4 remake would fine as well.

I mean it was weird from the start that last gen is not included, since nothing in the trailer looks next gen at all

This board hates poor people on the low. Not everyone can afford a PS5 and Capcom is a business so...
Insane post. Should devs be targeting atari graphics because of poor people.

Nonsense. You sell me a $500 console. You better fucking make games for it. If you dont it's anti-consumer.

It's different for third party devs. Capcom didnt sell me the PS5, but if it starts taking 3+ years to get next gen games, they too deserve a kick up the ass.

Yeah, the t8 praise were rather funny to see when the game is less impressive than a pic of my asshole.
lol everyone but you in that thread thinks it looks next gen. for once, I had some support on this board.

I'm not worried about graphics, tbh. RE2/RE3 remakes looked plenty nice to me as is on my PS5.

I am however worried how much content they are going to butcher. I am currently replaying RE4 on Steam Deck, and damn. The game is HUGE compared to RE2/3.

I know the crazy folks here will get outraged saying it will hold back game design and other lunacies... But it's a third person shooter, there's basically nothing they could do with it that wouldn't run in a PS4 with graphical adjustments. It's Resident Evil 4, a game designed to run on a GameCube

ehhhhhhhhh

DualSense is pretty baller. Load times are great. FPS is solid for once with console gaming. Lots of high end home console features for those with top-tier TVs/Monitors.

Not trying to argue, I just don't see the need to get upset over a lack of nex-gen exclusives. I just chalk it up to two people playing the same PC game but one has a god-tier rig and the other has a dated system on medium settings. I feel like it's the same thing really.
 
I'm still on a PS4 but...oof. IMO should've been current-gen only. I'm guessing visually it won't be too much beyond what RE2 and RE3 Remake already provided.

I at least hope there's a Fixed Camera Mode for some added nostalgia.

Dualsense is great but it doesn’t affect PS5 performance.

SDD should have changed game design due to not needing to make corridors and load chunks of the world instantly. Among other things.

Reduced loading times is not something to brag about after saying how a beast of consoles they should be.

yea but us console plebs are new to this fast loading thing! It's still magical to some of us.

Sounds like it may be using a deferred rendering engine which would cause the low amount of specialized RAM to be an issue for the framebuffer since lighting wouldn't be calculated on the shader.
Are you implying this game couldn't run on the Xbox One but it can on a PS4? You are aware we've had an entire generation where every game pretty much has released on both with only a resolution difference? Seriously stop posting nonsense.

Not that it couldn't but maybe the resolution they can hit wouldn't be acceptable by internal standards.
