I won a Mug.
They didn't even fix that one? Wow.
And their own Japanese. I love this example:
国家安全保障会議
National Security Council
CAPCOM: "Wildlife Protection Committee"
HOW.

I haven't played RE4 since I had my Gamecube set up like 9 years ago. Preordered on GMG with the 25% off code. Can't wait.

Have you played RE4 before? If not, buy it. It's one of those games you need to play at least once before you die.
If you already played it.... buy it anyway. RE4 is a fun game. You can't go wrong with that. Need to play it with better graphics.
me too, but i think i'll wait a bigger steam sale. i've bought this way too many times to pay over $10 for it again.

I think I might hold off til a sale to buy this. Already played both the GC and PS2 versions, and still feel guilty for not completing the PS3 version all the way.
If I could only unremember this game...

Played it on the wii and loved it. guess i'll pre order it. was mostly asking in the sense that i should wait for impressions of the port, but the stream looked just fine.
Resident Evil 4 Steam Edition |OT| 60fps? Ahhh! I'll buy it at a high price.
Yes! I'll have it up about 24-48 hours before the release.

That's great news. Those are the guys behind the RE6 and DmC PC ports, as well as the DMC HD Collection. Should be in good hands.
wellI I hope they know what they should do next ;D
Those were solid ports so yeah, this is good news to me.

Aren't the recommended system requirements a little high for a game like this? Really strange.
Anyway, if this is a decent port, I might finally be able to play this game
RE6 (a PS360 game), RE:Rev (a 3DS game) and RE4 (a GC game) share the exact same requirements. It's a Capcom thing.

Is there no preload?

Hell yes. Gamefly got me a preload code for MGSR, so hopefully they'll do the same with this.
I'll make sure this FAQ ends up in the OT, answers most of the questions people have.
Resident Evil 4 Steam/PC FAQ (Updated Feb 21, 2014)
Q: What are the available graphics options? [Updated]
A: RE4 is optimized for 1920x1080 at 60fps. Anything beyond 1080p has not formally been tested but we have seen it perform fine on 2560x1600, 2560x1440, 1920x1200, and 1440x900. The game will also have anti-aliasing up to 8X, three shadow quality settings, HD/SD texture quality toggle, and a post-process toggle which adds a different screen effect such as monotone filter as revealed during our recent Twitch stream. Tinkerers will also find other graphics options that work best for them
Q: I hear the game now natively supports mouse controls How does it work?
A: Traversal: Mouse movement will be used to free-roam camera view during traversal while WASD keys controls character movement on the map (keys are remappable).
Shooting mechanics: Hold down the right-click button to enter aim mode. During aim-mode, mouse movement will be used to control the laser pointer. Simply point the laser to the desired target and tap left-click to fire. Same for knifing - hold Space bar and tap left-click. Really simple.
Q: What customization options are available in the game?
A: Control options wise, it will have the following:
1. Custom key binding per action for keyboard users
2. Three preset control schemes for gamepad users
3. Inverted aim ON/OFF
4. Mouse acceleration ON/OFF
5. Mouse sensitivity 1 ~ 30
6. game pad vibration ON/OFF
Q: What version of RE4 is the new Steam version based on?
A: It's based on the Xbox 360 version, which in turn is based on the GameCube / Wii versions.
Q: Why is the game 15GB when past versions were much smaller?
A: About 11GB of the data is the game itself. 1.6GB are the original SD textures, leaving roughly 5GB for the HD texture pack.
Q: Can v-sync be turned on/off?
A: A number of other undocumented graphics settings including v-sync can be tweaked via config.ini, but these functions are not officially supported by Capcom. Use at your own risk.
Q: What is the maximum frame rate?
A: The in-game menu provides two options - Fixed 30fps and Fixed 60fps
Q: Screen seems too bright/dark. Can it be adjusted?
A: Yes, there is a slider in the menu that allows you to fine-tune the brightness level.
Q: Are the cutscenes realtime or pre-rendered movie files?
A: Only the "Separate Ways" cutscenes are movie files. The rest of the game cutscenes are real time.
Q: What are the available controller options?
A: The game supports full mouse/keyboard control as well as XInput-based devices such as the Xbox 360 game pad. Inventory management is also done via keyboard or game pad.
Q: When will I receive my pre-purchase bonus content?
A: The digital soundtrack and digital archives will be available on launch day (Feb 28, 2014)
Q: I'm a huge RE4 fan! Tell me more about the Pre-purchase bonus content. What exactly is included?
A: Soundtrack: The soundtrack comes from a two-disc CD compilation sold in Japan. It's sampled at 320kbps/48Hz in MP3 format for maximum compatibility while keeping file size manageable for your portable device. Disc 1 "Darkness Side" contains 32 tracks while Disc 2 "Aggressive Side" includes 30 tracks. All in all, 140+ minutes for your listening pleasure.
Full Color Digital Archive: The 80+ page Digital Archive is not your typical art book. It comes from our 'Resident Evil Archives' Volume II encyclopedia published and sold by our friends at BradyGames. We've taken the best parts from the Archives featuring Resident Evil 4 characters, creatures, story, concept art, and more! Love the Resident Evil lore and want to know more? Check out Volume 1 covering events taking place between 1960 ~ 1998 while Volume 2 covers year 2002 through 2009.
Q: Are there achievements and trading cards?
A: Yes to both; the former are based on the Xbox 360 Achievements.
Q: I heard rumors of the German version being censored. Is this true?
A: No. RE4 fans in Germany can enjoy RE4 in its full, uncensored g(l)ory. However, Assignment Ada and Mercenaries unfortunately is not included in the German version. Separate Ways, Movie Viewer, and Ada's Report ARE included and unlockable.
As an aside, the Handcannon becomes available when you beat the main story in Professional difficulty while completing Separate Ways unlocks the Chicago Typwriter.
Q: There's a thriving modding community for the previous PC version. Any plan for Workshop support in this version?
A: There are no plans to add Steam Workshop given technical challenges working with legacy code from 2005. At the same time, we will not stop modders from toying around with the Steamworks edition. Modding is not supported by Capcom, so play at your own risk.
Q: Do you have any plans to support DirectX 10, 11, and beyond?
A: No. The game does not use nor require advanced functions offered through DX10/11. The game will utilize DirectX 9.0c for maximum OS compatibility.
Q: Does the game allow you to strafe/slide sideways?
A: No. The game follows the same control scheme as the original GameCube edition. Press the A key (or hold left on the left analog stick) to turn left or the D key to turn right. Mouse movement (or the right analog stick) is essentially your eye movement, and therefore does not change the direction your body is facing.
Q: Do I have to manually enable and configure game pad controller when switching to/from keyboard+mouse?
A: There is no need to enter the options menu whenever you want to switch between KB+M and a gamepad. Many recent Capcom games, including RE4, dynamically switches between KB+M and gamepad input mode. In fact, the game polls both input devices simultaneously so technically you can use both devices at the same time if desired.
Q: Is the frame rate capped at 60fps? Can I choose higher frame rate to take advantage of my 120Hz/144Hz monitor?
A: The game offers 30fps or 60fps locked through the in-game menu option. Deviating from these two settings unfortunately causes unexpected side effects or game-breaking bugs since certain animations are keyed to the frame. Undocumented settings may allow you to deviate from the 30/60fps cap, but this has not been tested, nor supported or warranted by Capcom.

Has anyone pre ordered the game through GMG? There is probably no way to know if you get the bonuses, though.
I have and there is a special mention in the store page that you will get the bonuses if you pre-order:
My guess is that the bonuses are tied to the Steam key; capcom gave some batches of pre-order keys to some stores that when redeemed give you the aforementioned pre-order bonuses. Afaik gamefly offers these bonuses as well.

Damnit, I was planning to wait for a Steam sale on this, and somehow I've ended up halfway through the GMG Checkout. Oh screw it, I'm doing it. It's only my third time buying RE4, anyway
I'm going to tell my nagging wallet-conscience it'll help send Capcom the message that they should be Ultimate HD-ifying all their early/mid-2000s classics, that ought to shut him up.

WHAT ???
the Xbox 360 version is the same of the Wii version ?
that mean i can see the same effect of the gamecube version ?
Based on. Some things are difficult or impossible to emulate when they rely on specific hardware properties.
