Seriously, I bought it before leaving for work this morning and now I'm just migrating a to a new switch in the server room before I bounce. That front door is CALLING me!

4/10 schedules are so cool unless you're IT on your extra day off.

 

[ParaSeoul]

I played the demo,prefer the original.

It’s an excellent PC version. I’ve got everything maxxed at 4K and it’s barely ever dropped below 70FPS, usually hangs in the low 90s during most gameplay. Seems to even run better than the demo.

And mouse+keyboard = extra fun nailing those head shots left and right. This is such a great remake, updated where it should be while retaining the feel of the original. Also it started dumping snow this morning so I’ll just take this occasion to stay home all cozy next to my space heater PC killing zombies today

It's still a workday bruv, I booted it up for a quick 30 minute session during my lunchbreak:


But right now I'm still working.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Pre ordered on steam, excited to play tonight!

 

[Madflavor]

In Chapter 3 right now, it's an absolute banger so far. I may not be able to go back to the Original if this level of quality continues.

The office when 5:00 hits and the one non-gamer suddenly finds himself alone in the building a mere second later:

 

[WalterSobchak]

Anyone planning on getting this for their Deck ?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Played the shit out of the remake all day and it's so fucking good. I just can't put the controller down.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

based off the demo alone, me too... but full version could change that.
game looked really good though.

One of the best coop experiences. Still looks amazing to this day.

 

[TrebleShot]

The mouse gyro controls on 5is version are epic.

 

[The Cockatrice]

One of the best coop

What coop is there in RE4? Its a singleplayer game.

Lol. Wrong thread. Thought I was in the RE5 thread.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

 

[kiphalfton]

Considering RE4 original port was garbage, RE5 wasn't as good as RE4, RE6 was hated by everybody, RE7 was a huge tone shift, RE8 was dependent on the success of RE7 success, RE2 is the only competition, and RE3 had a lot of cut content... Not surprising.

 

[Signal Rockets]

In other words...

Capcom will be producing more remakes.

Now, whether CV is one of those potential remakes, is another matter.
