Capcom Are Fixing The Infamous Rain In Resident Evil 4 With A Day 1 Patch

Capcom Are Fixing The Infamous Rain In Resident Evil 4 With A Day 1 Patch

press-start.com.au

After our preview earlier this month, I also was able to have an interview with Hirabayashi Yoshiaki, producer on the remake and asked him specifically if there would be any changes to the rain effect as not only did it look intense but it also would have been distracting for some players. Yoshiaki had a simple but encouraging response.

"We've seen everyone's reaction to the rain effects, and we are working on a day-one patch to make adjustments"

Great news, for sure, and just indicative of how Capcom is always listening to fans when it comes to these remakes.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Crazy how those guys didn't notice this atrocious rain effect.

Crazy how those guys didn't notice this atrocious rain effect.

I can assure you a lot of people noticed it, with these massive, complex projects you have to prioritize, they probably just moved the issue up to fix it sooner.

 

[Connificent]

Based Capcom

 

[rapid32.5]

Good stuff, love when devs listen to their fans. SH2 Remake, James' face next.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I wouldn't play a game with those effects.

Modern game devs... don't have a clue about anything even if the beta phase point out.

Even the rain in that gif is less jarring.

 

[rofif]

Now I must get the disc edition to experience the rain TM version.

 

[damidu]

i mean who thought it looked ok in the first place

 

[Elios83]

Can they fix the crushed blacks as well?

 

[touchfuzzy]

Even the rain in that gif is less jarring.

One would hope since that's literally just real water.

Metacritic also announced review embargo is lifting late next week:

 

[Saber]

Strange that it has to be a day one patch.
Modern devs nowadays are weird...but at least its gonna be fixed I guess.

 

[Evolved1]

They also could've just liked it. Not everything you make lands with people.

Correct.

 

[Rush2112]

You would have to be blind not to see how bad that looks.

 

[sodstall]

It definitely illuminates strange with all the character/camera motion. I remember RE2 remakes rain getting some flak too. Whatever you gotta do to keep it from looking like its raining lasers i guess.

 

[XXL]

Awesome! I thought they would, it looked terrible when everything else looks great.

 

[rofif]

There is a chance it looks better 4k hdr plated rather than video

 

[consoul]

Turn off auto-update and play the OG:

Resident Evil 4 Remake: Heavy Rain edition.
Press X to Leon.

 

[fatmarco]

It looks like the GTA Trilogy Remaster rain effect, so yeah, probably a good idea to avoid those comparisons.

[Sleepwalker]

Maybe the game has gone gold already and discs have already been pressed with the OG rain effect in. Usually the simplest explanation is the correct one.

 

[Knightime_X]

They probably liked it.

 

[Punished Miku]

I thought it looked weird but I didn't even play the game yet. Hope they allow you to toggle the awful rain on or off.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Dang, wish I had a Ps5 for this..

 

[jshackles]

Capcom Are Fixing The Infamous Rain In Resident Evil 4 With A Day 1 Patch

I think the rain in Infamous looked better than RE4 remake

 

[killatopak]

Dang, wish I had a Ps5 for this..

It's available for the PS4 though if you have that.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

It's available for the PS4 though if you have that.

I do, but just the kind of game I'd rather get on the more powerful (console) platform, you know?

Ps5 purchase slowly sneaking up on me here despite trying to hold out.

 

[mitch1971]

Water way to please your fans.

 

[Throttle]

I just want to play this in VR.

RE8 is incredible, 4 Remake could be divine.

 

[FUBARx89]

Dunno how it looked that arse in the first place.
Same engine, far superior rain.

 

[DavidGzz]

The first mod after the nude mods for every model+school girl outfits, etc will bring back the original rain with a slider to make the drops 4 times bigger. Hnnnng

 

[OCASM]

Bloom sucks too. Won't fix it though.

 

[Rykan]

This change is a result of the feedback they received upon showing the effect.

Changing the effect (which means creating a new effect, implanting it and getting it through QA) for the final build probably takes too long to get it done before disk manufacture / verification process.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

One would hope since that's literally just real water.

Can't believe they never patched the movie to fix it

Embargo is next week?

It feels like it was yesterday since we were all wishing Capcom would remake RE4.

Was anyone ever wishing for a RE4 Remake? I remember when the rumors came up people were more puzzles about if it is needed.

Now, Capcom wished RE2 to be remade. That one I remember. Took forever.

I think it was when that fan project was made that showcased what a potential RE4 would look like with a new engine.

Nah man, every since RE2 and 3 came out everyone was down for CV. I like the RE4 Remake and all, but CV needs to happen.

I have a feeling like this could be the best remake out of the lot, outside the original RE Remake. I really liked 2 and 3, but something tells me Capcom worked harder on this. I would be shocked if they screwed this up.

RE4 is a Capcom's prized cash-cow, there's no way in hell they were gonna let it get a second-party treatment like RE3make, and the bad reception that game got seems to have spurred them to put even more direct focus on it.

I'm ready to be razzled dazzled all over again just like the OG RE4.

After Remake 2 it seemed like a decent enough idea since they could fix a lot of its problems like they did with RE2. They aren't doing that though so now I have no interest in it.

 

[John Bilbo]

Good. It was way too busy.

Although on PC I could probably play the game with a sunshine always on mod

No way they're goeing to let if get a treatment less impressive than RE2. RE4 is widely considered one of the best games ever made.
I'm not sure how close it's going to come to the originals awesomeness but I assume it won't be far off.

One of the biggest reasons I hate Modern Gamers. We, as consumers, allowed this garbage to happen.

That's RTX rain in the gif
