Resident Evil 4 Review thread

They all go crazy like that. Have you even played the other games? RE4 goes village, castle, military base, lab, mine.... Egc
Sure but they always felt more cohesive to me, re8 feels like that"how vice chose his articles" but in videogame form.

Like i said in another post, being cohesive or not was the last of my problem with village.

Also it's more fun if you don't know what's coming next. Would you rather the whole game be a string of four identical castles?

That sucks - hopefully it's fixed in the retail version. Steam version runs beautifully and I'm very happy with that.
Sorry to ask something you've already probably answered before, but what GPU and CPU you rocking man? Trying to get an idea of whether my RTX 2080 and i7 9700k will handle it decently. Ray tracing is nice but I don't at all need it, and I'd turn the hair strand effect off as I don't even like it. I wouldn't be buying the game yet, but when money stuff improves just trying to figure out how I'd handle it since the PC port seems good.

Gpu 2080ti
Cpu i7 9700k
Motherboard aorus pro 390z
Have stable 60fps at 1440p with RT and settings between High and Max when I played the demo.

So you'll only fare about 20% worse than me, in case my settings taxed my pc to its limit (which I don't think it was)

Nice. Does the game have DLSS?

I’m 33 going to 34 in 2 months I still can’t play horror games. Funny because I’ve played every Resident Evil even the spinoffs. I really enjoyed Dead Aim. Getting older it is like something tick. I get very nervous and feel like my blood pressure goes up. Even RE4R might be too much for me even though I can finish the original blindfold because of how many hours I put into that game. The pacing is fucking gooooooood. I’m sad.

I was gonna wait for a sale on this one,but goddamn @those reviews,time to dust off that ancient ps4 and play some RE4 goodness
Is RE4 scary?
I've never played any RE games because it's a horror game but I heard that RE 4,5,6 are action games and less scary than others.
Only horror games I've played is Tlou 1 + 2.
Don't believe there is a definite yes or no answer, It depends what you find scary, RE4 is action horror..

For example i thought the RE4 remake demo was definetly scary and tense, the dreaded atmosphere, music, overwhelming enemies,makes it enjoyable for horror fans.

The original of course will be more cheesy and with crude graphics,but it still has some spooky elements,its a great game regardless 👌

No. None of the recent re games do. Probably a deal issue with amd, because monster hunter has dlss. I've heard that modders made dlss mods for those RE games, though.

That said, they have fx fidelity mode.
Right on man, thanks for the info. I'll have to pick it up at some point, I liked the demo so much more than I thought I would. I was really of the opinion that the original was unsurpassable, but I gotta admit I loved that demo, so I need to check out the whole thing at some point. It'll be a while for financial reasons right now, so hopefully whatever issues are there on launch are addressed by the time I can buy it without my wife braining me with a shovel for spending the money.

For those who have gotten this early, no spoilers or anything, but did they greatly improve the island section at all?

Also it's more fun if you don't know what's coming next. Would you rather the whole game be a string of four identical castles?
If the castles are up the quality/level design of Castle D? I'd replace fish mans section and the lame factory with half robot monsters with that in an instant. I would also rather have had more Baker estate than ship/mines in RE7.

The RE teams clearly specialize in more residential settings (RE4 showed this with the village/castle being better than the island too).

According to a bunch of articles preload doesn’t start until tomorrow for PS5. On PSN it said it was the 3/21. They’re saying preload on PC is going to be later than that. I’m hoping the preload starts before Friday.

Yeah, I expected to be able to preload on Steam this morning, but I guess it's going to be a few hours more (22nd in the morning for me right now).

I played the demo on ps5 and series x on my oled tv switching back and forth

Resolution mode , ray tracing on , hair off

IQ is better on xbox, ps5 is noticeably softer but it is not big of a difference for me

My tv supports vrr both played smooth but series x has more stutters

But series x is noticeably laggier aiming and moving weapon takes so much time

Ps5 is much better in that regard

On xbox it is like playing with game mode off

It is harder to play on xbox no doubt

I hope a day one patch to solve these issues

Right now both versions are not ideal

I went to install the deluxe version of the game on PS5 and it won’t download the add-on content. The fuck!?

Is this typical with PS5 preorders? This is the first game I’ve preordered on mine.

Left the console running over night. I had the Treasure map finish preloading and the main game. I was able to get the mini OST to download, but a PS4 version of it? I have a hunch that the rest of the DLC will preload closer to/if not the day of release.

So i heard the current 1.02 version is like 2 weeks old. Are we expecting another patch before release?

From what I've been hearing, the game really needs another patch to fix some performance issues. Dunno if there will be a Day 1 patch or not.

I'm talking to Walmart Customer Service now. Back in November, Walmart actually had the game for $32.99 and I jumped on it ASAP. Nearly EVERY person's order got cancelled but they couldn't cancel my order. Seeing if I can pull some strings here...

For those with Xbox and digital, does anyone put the region on the New Zealand and is already playing?

I fucked up and bought a Sony gift card instead of the Xbox one, now I'm stuck with the lower IQ version. Hopefully Capcom patches it.
 
Can't stomach spending $70 for a botched image quality on ps5. Yes, if your someone who doesn't mind it'll be well worth it. I for one am very disappointed. Out of all the games to mess up it had to be RE4 remake didn't it. The deadzone on Xbox is even more "unacceptable". How did they not play test and realize how bad the aiming feels?

I have plenty of other stuff to play so it's not the end of the world just very unfortunate.

As of now it seems they've caught on. And you can probably blame Reddit for ruining it.

Even if their site shows they have X number of copies, orders placed now will be marked as "unavailable" - giving the option to ship.
