Support NeoGAF

[Zeeman]

It will be, Cacpom will get RE4 on every platform ever created eventually. They just hate GameCube fans that much.

Holding out for the Dreamcast version

 

[Miguel81]

Sweet. Now they should port over Code Veronica HD.

 

[plagiarize]

Native Xbox 360 controller support?

This is the most important thing. I am not playing this with mouse and keyboard.

Mouse and keys on RE5 was good. If the same control setup is brought across it'll work nicely. Even better, if the same setup is brought across Razer Hydra owners will be able to make it play just like RE4's Wii controls should they want.

Although all first timers should play the game with a pad so as not to break the balance of the gameplay and the upgrade system.

 

[dan2026]

Ugh I kind of think Capcom is taking the piss now.

Seriously how many times have they sold us this game?

I've bought it myself twice and it will only encourage them to make more shite sequels like RE6.

 

[loganclaws]

When I played it on pc it ran at 60fps. Or is it one of those games that ran internally at 30fps and each frame was being rendered twice?

 

[Madrugador]

Bought the Gamecube version on launch day.

Bought the PS3 version during the last Halloween sale.

Will buy the PC version

Spoiler

when it's 75% off.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I have this game on GameCube, PS2 and Wii. I don't think I'll need this on PC though. Not for 20€ at least. Will wait for the inevitable Weekend Deal.

 

[kodecraft]

Wow!! Day one.

 

[Miguel81]

Ugh I kind of think Capcom is taking the piss now.

This port makes sense because the previous(and only) RE4 PC version was total shit(PS2 assets).

 

[dragonlife]

Well the store page does mention this.



So I hope so and more. Though might end up being Steam leaderboards.

RE4 HD on consoles has Speed Run leaderboards for campaign, but not Mercenaries for some reason. That's a really odd omission (just like in Mercs 3D).

Anyway, that's probably what the Steam page refers to. RE6 has this on its store page:

Compatible with Console Version Feature Updates/RE.NET - The PC version is compatible with all of the latest features that have been added to the console versions, and is compatible with RE.NET too.

REvelations:

Residentevil.net support – Resident Evil Revelations will take full advantage of Residentevil.net with content available to users once the game launches. Earn weapons and custom parts and use them in-game, collect figures that can be used in dioramas and check your stats through the online web service.

RE4 doesn't have any indication of re.net support on its page.

 

[vazel]

youtube used to support 60fps

At a horribly low bitrate and resolution. The PQ used to be so bad that I couldn't even distinguish what was happening on screen much of the time.

 

[Xpliskin]

No sign of MT Framework at the end of the trailer, can anyone confirm it's a pure port ?

 

[MrCunningham]

Textures look the same... which is shit.

I would need to see screenshot comparisons. But if the textures didn't get a bump, why does the installation require 15GB?

Sweet. Now they should port over Code Veronica HD.

Will co-sign.

 

[Tain]

When I played it on pc it ran at 60fps. Or is it one of those games that ran internally at 30fps and each frame was being rendered twice?

It's one of those games.

 

[Anth0ny]

Buying the fuck outta this. Was about to buy the HD version on 360 too. Now I can play it in HD with my GameCube controller

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

Holy shit, if this is a real good port then I can throw my PS2 away.
Capcom please don't fuck up the port of the best third person shooter.
Much appreciated.

 

[Miker]

Now we play the waiting game. The game in which GMG or some other retailer offers a 20-25% off pre-order. Revengeance was knocked down from $20 to $16 before release on GameFly the day its Steam page went up, so it's best to be patient.

 

[jediyoshi]

Made a comparison

Dolphin, Wii ver.

PC

Looks like they might've dropped the cutscene DOF
Ash's sweater texture definitely higher res

 

[Zomba13]

Will buy yet again when in steam sales.

 

[Mass Effect]

Heh, I was just thinking about the original PC port of this game earlier before I saw this thread.

Definitely going to pick this up. I'd love to start playing this again, it's been too long.

 

[News Bot]

Made a comparison

Looks like they might've dropped the cutscene DOF
Ash's sweater texture definitely higher res

Revival Selection (from a compressed video)

Same missing DOF, but lacks that hi-res texture.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

I never knew this! Watched the trailer and HOLY SHIT 60 FPS RE4 YASSSSS

Were none of the previous versions 60 FPS? Not even the PS360 version?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Were none of the previous versions 60 FPS? Not even the PS360 version?

Nope.

 

[King_Moc]

Cool, i guess, but that price is very unreasonable for a 10 year old game.

 

[Tain]

Were none of the previous versions 60 FPS? Not even the PS360 version?

None have been so far. This will be the first.

Which is really surprising because it probably took a nontrivial amount of reworking. More than I'd expect for just a PC port.

 

[Mupod]

Cool that we're maybe getting a 'definitive' version, and if any game needed a do-over on the PC port it was this one (or maybe DMC3).

But considering the reception of RE4 HD...I think I'll wait on this one.

 

[Levito]

Native Xbox 360 controller support?

This is the most important thing. I am not playing this with mouse and keyboard.

Says right on the Steam page that there's controller support.

 

[Mindman]

I was JUST thinking about how Capcom needed to re-release this game on PC, on Steam, with controller support. Then I see this.

I've only played through this game once, on GameCube. WILL BUY this!!!

 

[MDSLKTR]

Were none of the previous versions 60 FPS? Not even the PS360 version?

No and the less we talk about those" hd" editions the better

 

[Neiteio]

I preordered it. Where is the soundtrack and artbook? Does that come out later?

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Those requirements are a bit steep for a 9 year old, 2 gen old game aren't they?

 

[TheSeks]

just in the highest visual quality and smoothest fluidity ever released by Capcom

Believe it when I see it, Capcom. Bio4's PC port is terribad and you'll have to prove to me you aren't doing a quickie port job to Steam to try to get some cash.

 

[Conezays]

Likely will rebuy. Last time I owned this was the Wii version

 

[Dr Dogg]

I preordered it. Where is the soundtrack and artbook? Does that come out later?

I'd assume you should get them when it releases. RE 6 and Revelations art books and soundtracks are in the install directories.

 

[angular graphics]

Those requirements are a bit steep for a 9 year old, 2 gen old game aren't they?

Well.. It's Capcom.. They gave RE: Revelations, a 3DS game, the same requirements they gave RE6, a PS360 game..

edit: And now that I look at it these are the same as RE:R and RE6!! LOL, Capcom!

 

[Tain]

Maybe they remade it on MT Framework. Didn't they do that with Code Veronica? Would explain a lot.

 

[dragonlife]

Believe it when I see it, Capcom. Bio4's PC port is terribad and you'll have to prove to me you aren't doing a quickie port job to Steam to try to get some cash.

The first RE4 PC port was Ubisoft, though.

 

[Dambrosi]

After this becomes a success, please port Okami HD to PC pls.

Viewtiful Joe is overdue for a HD version too. And God Hand, while you're at it.

Hell, why not Maximo, P.N. 03, Killer7 and BOF: Dragon Quarter while we're daydreaming.

 

[BigBoss]

Its only a matter of time before Capcom announces the MGS HD collection for PC/Steam.

 

[plagiarize]

missing DOF effect... come on Capcom... let's not leave out effects again.

I mean I will be happy with 60 fps if it's Revival Selection level of effects, but it would be a real shame.

 

[guitarhero]

Full controller support? Does that mean there will be correct button prompts?

 

[dab0ne]

My Vita am cry

 

[Rodney McKay]

Cool, i guess, but that price is very unreasonable for a 10 year old game.

If a game has legs, it can continue selling at high prices for a long, long time. At least on Steam you can be almost guaranteed it will go on sale pretty soon if you REALLY don't want to spend an extra $10.

Mario Kart DS is getting close to 10 years old (goddamn!) and it's still going for higher than $20 most places. Hell, Final Fantasy 6 is nearly 20 years old and still going on Mobiles for over $15.

 

[Slowdive]

Just saw this on Steam, awesome. Will buy.

 

[News Bot]

The first RE4 PC port was Ubisoft, though.

Sourcenext actually.

 

[Neiteio]

If my computer can run RE5 flawlessly, it should be able to run this, right?

 

[Steiner_Zi]

This seems like a ripoff considering its price and a wasted opportunity. Honestly, for some reason the game in the trailer looked way worse than I remember when I first played it on GC on a CRT TV. I would hope that the subtitle "Ultimate HD" would mean an HD remake like Square Enix did for FFX/X-2 and Kingdom Hearts. :/ Then I would easily spend even 40€ but now I'll wait for the next Steam sale...

 

[Chabbles]

 

[Z3M0G]

Based on the trailer it's still tank controls. Which is the way it should be.

Instead of doing all that, you can configure one of the buttons to a "win" command. At any time you're having trouble with the game, just hit the win button and you'll get taken straight to the ending.

Hopefully not.

This is meant to be the definitive edition, not the worst one!

I have no problem with this, FYI. Just curious.

 

[dragonlife]

Sourcenext actually.

Ah, thanks for the correction.

If my computer can run RE5 flawlessly, it should be able to run this, right?

Nope*. Time to upgrade, baby.

*Of course.
