Ok in that ganados mob shot only two enemies have a higher poly count. The rest looks like pure triangles. What the fuck?
PS2-assets?

There does appear to be some crazy level-of-detail stuff going on. Hopefully the pristine image quality won't end up revealing a bunch of terrible graphical issues. I don't remember it being a problem in the PS3 version.
 
Gamecube. Wii. PS3 HD version. And now comes the new PC HD version.

This will be the very first
and the very last
game I ever buy four different times. Congratulations, Capcom, you have made franchise milking into a fine art.

Now waiting eagerly for Resident Evil 5: 4K Edition next year and Resident Evil 6: Oculus Rift Edition the year after. You know they're coming.

That's a CS and is exactly like that on the original GC version.

It's a scene that shows way more enemies that normal gameplay. It happens pretty fast so is almost not noticiable on the original GC version (also lower res, hides it better)
 
The only important question is if this is based on the ultimately superior Wii Version/GCN version, or the shitty ass PS2 version. Because RE4 HD had crappy controls.
 
All the versions i have bought RE 4:
- Gamecube
- PC
- Wii Edition
- Xbox 360 HD Edition

and yes - I will get the Steam version too. this game is so darn good.
 
PS3 ver has such poor image quality it's shimmering all over the place, pretty big improvement over that, don't think the textures are different though but the 15GB?!! Maybe they redid the videos this time... not holding my breath.

Where is Code Veronica HD though?

and
RE5 GOLD :(
 
Everytime I hear about a new "ultimate" or "HD" edition of RE4, this is what I want (and have never gotten):

1. Better texture work across the board.
2. Cut-scenes using in-game models rather than canned videos (like the GC / Wii versions)
3. All lighting / special effects maintained from the GC / Wii versions or improved upon

So far on this "ultimate" version, the texture work looks terrible. Little to no effort was put into this! BLEH!! And it looks like the cut-scenes are again, videos... bleh!!

*Goes back to Dolphin version of Wii RE4 -- All control schemes supported, all effects in place, all cut-scenes are real-time, 1080P w/ AA*
 
Please, please let there be remappable controls. When playing on Dolphin, I remapped the 360 controller controls to make it more like modern games:

RT - shoot (A on GC)
LT - aim (R on GC)
LB - knife (L on GC)
RB - aim (R on GC; backup key to make L+R QTEs easier)

I'd rather not go back to RT + A to shoot :-/

Great. Day 1.

Now give us a proper HD DMC 1 and 3 ports.

And Onimusha too.


And Shadow of Rome while you are at it.

And a Breath of Fire collection with a pre-order bonus of Dino Crisis.

The number of Capcom games that I've only played a bit of but want more pre-360/PS3 is massive. I've just re-played RE4 again too recently to justify full price.
 
The reason RE4 and Street Fighter 2 even CAN be monetized when re-released a dozen times is because the gameplay is THAT good.

People rarely bring up how hilarious the plot/writing is in the game as a negative because you can shoot a zombie in the knee, run up and spin kick him into his friends, knocking them back, then throwing a fire grenade to watch them all burn to death all by yourself like a bad ass and eat a large bass you kept in a briefcase to regain your health. Nobody else is there to take your ammo/herbs/miscellaneous fish, there's a random guy (guys?) who upgrades your weapons, sells you new weapons, sounds like a pirate, etc.

There's escort missions, but are you just escorting a helpless girl from one place to another? No! You tell that bitch to hide in a trashcan while you're out shotgunning chainsaw-wielding freaks, shooting tentacle monsters sprouting from a guy's neck, suplexing zombies wearing church cloaks, and shit-talking zombie midgets.

Motherfucker, if you don't want to play that game again, then something is wrong with YOU.
 
Man... I just realized how much I have bought and will buy this game....

-Gamecube
-PS2
-Xbox Live

-Steam...

What an amazing game though. RE in it's prime.
 
What the?

Bought so hard!

Not that I don't own enough copies of Resi 4 by now but to finally have a PC version that doesn't require a lot of faffing about with to get it looking sweet is fine by me.

This is very tempting, but something still looks off from the screens. I hope this isn't based on the PS2 version.

It's not. Based on the PS360 version, which is based on the Wii version. Look further up for comparison shots, the PS2 version looks terribad, PC version looks exactly like the Wii version in Dolphin.

Considering the PC version of Resident Evil 5 never got the DLC and Capcom has no plans to remove GFWL from it at the moment, a Resident Evil 5: Super HD Edition is probably a super safe bet to make.

Anyways, better late than never. It is good to see Capcom is not forgetting the fact that a lot of their older (pre-PS3/360 gen) titles have had PC versions that they are repackaging into competent ports. Sure it is milking and that aspect sucks, but I like for there to be as many titles on Steam. I never got too far in Resident Evil 4 so I would be willing to purchase this version somewhere down the line. Hopefully we get other older Capcom games on Steam later.
 
Huh, didn't know HD was based on the Wii version, I guess I should've actually played it! I've been ill-informed. I thought it was GC --> Wii, and PS2 --> HD.

Confusion bound to happen with so many versions, lol.
 
Controller support means I'm in, though I wonder how close mouse precision will be to the Wii's point and shoot.

Amazing, amazing game.

It's a PC game, you can always remap controls.

RE4 HD was based on the Wii versions and it had the same controls as the PS2 and GC versions.

That's impossible, since the deadzones between the PS2 and GC versions were completely different. The deadzones on the GC version are tiny as hell, and makes super fine aiming (read: headshots) possible and easy when you get good at it. The PS2/HD versions have like half the stick deadzone'd and makes the game literally unplayable for me, unless I were to use only the shotgun.
And as a person who never picks up/buys a shotgun, I obviously never use the shotgun.
 
Wow. This is a lot more than I expected Capcom to ever do for this game. I never wanted RE4 on Steam because I always assumed they'd just throw the existing PC port up there. What convinced Capcom to actually do ANYTHING to the art assets this time when they couldn't be bothered to on the PSN and XBLA ports? Outsourced project?

Okay cool! I wasn't sure because the hi-res look threw me off but it does seem based on the Wii version. Hopefully the cutscenes are also real time.
 
Oh god I just realized how god awful the Seperate Ways cutscenes are going to be. Did they ever re-render those for the HD versions? Because even on the Wii version those cutscenes were awful.

Nah, in gamepad-supportd games, it's not a guarantee at all. Sometimes it'll be pre-set schemes, or sometimes just one scheme. I might mess around with third-party programs if I can't rebind the gamepad controls.

Yea, that's what I was getting at, worst case scenario you can use a third party program to remap the controls on the gamepad.
