Can someone explain to me, why every time when I try to play the game higher res than 1920x1080, it kinda goes into a matrix slowdown effect?

How mod friendly does the game appear to be? Would the textures be easily replaced?

I really don't think that's it because Resident Evil Revelations had the exact same negative mouse acceleration and it was patched out in a few days. Hopefully that's what happens here too.

Basically, whenever the game drops below whichever fixed frame rate you have selected, it slows down to output the requires frames, rather than dropping frames. If you drop the fixed frame rate to 30, for example, the problem should disappear.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but the fixed 60 FPS and 30 FPS options seem to cause the game to change it's internal rendering (meaning internal game speed) rate to those FPS respectively.
If you're running this game on a POS ancient laptop like I am (Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon 4670 1GB), and your system can't output 60 FPS consistently when you've chosen "Fixed 60 FPS" in the Video Options, the game itself will seem to go into "slow motion". So if your system drops to 30 FPS, the game's effective speed will be halved.
The "solution" so to speak is to change it to "Fixed 30 FPS" (yeah, yeah I know..), and then the game will be at the correct speed even when your system is pushing only 30 FPS.
Just thought I'd throw it out there for those with crappy rigs like mine.
Otherwise, I'm having a blast of a time, I can set it to 1080p, 0x AA, HD textures, High Shadows and Motion Blur OFF (Seriously having it ON makes the game look terrible.) and maintain 30 FPS all the time. Using a 360 wired pad, which is good enough for this game.

Me, i had this happen when i took a screenshot with the Steam screenshots.

Well, it looks really good in 1080p and 60fps.
I'll enjoy it like the first time.

Still doesn't work, but thanks anyway. I'll just play with a 360 pad. I was trying the Wii U Pro instead.

Also, certain options like the Vsync setting seems to be re-enabled everytime you start up the game again, even after explicitly disabling it in the config.ini file located in the "\Documents\My Games\Capcom\RE4" folder.
Set it to Read-Only to prevent the game from changing it back again. The games own Vsync seems to be Double buffered not Triple buffered so drops from 30 will go down straight to 20, then 15, etc.

While im still struggling to get to grips with the mouse & keyboard scheme (I can see why it is the way it is however) ..... when scoped good lord, its cheating. Feels sogood.gif, easily blasting dynamite out of fools hands.

aah how stupid of me... I thought it meant reset and start the game from the beginning
If your frame rate dropped below 60, than the cutscenes will be off.
I believe I'm using 4x and I only encountered the glitch once. I alt-tabbed and I couldn't get above 30-40 FPS.
Just started playing this version. I've tried the game at least twice previously, once on the Gamecube and once on the Wii and just stopped after about 2 hours or so. I dunno why.
But this time I am determined to finish it!
I killed the first chainsaw dude you meet by knocking him off a ladder a few times. It was rather funny.

Ugh, got home to play on my home PC just to realize the porting is pretty bad
How and why am I not able to max this? i3-2100, HD5850, 8GB DDR3, SSD. Can't maintain above 60FPS so I get the weird slowmo thing. RE5 sure hell ran way better.

The forced double buffered Vsync the game employs makes the situation worse. Turn it off in the config.ini file.
Also turning off MSAA also helps. It's a performance killer.
So the advice is to turn V-Sync off and Subtitles on in the config.ini file then set it to Read Only.
Anything else we should do to config.ini before playing the game for the first time?
No problems so far running at 1080p60, 4xMSAA on my i7-4960HQ + GT750m -- game looks great. I haven't even hit the village yet, though, so we'll see if I can hold 60hz in a busier scene. If it can't, I'll have to choose between turning down the AA or even dropping to 30hz. I turned off motion blur as that looked like shit and was causing frame drops.
I haven't totally settled on what control scheme to use. Mouse + keyboard is tempting, but seems like it will undermine the challenge a bit. But I've always had trouble adjusting to precise aiming with my left thumb, so it's looking like gamepad config Type III will be the way to go.

It really seems balanced in a way that doesn't remove the challenge. Leon's aim is shaky and you still have a limited area to aim, you can't swing around like in other games.
Mod, was linked right above my post.

easy 1080p/60FPS performance. Get about 40% on each card. 300-400 MB VRAM usage.
I did some messing around with the post processing effects and got a couple of cool looking black and white settings. Here are some pics:
The gradient files are below if you wanna try them out. Just download the picture and rename it to gradient1, gradient2, or gradient3. Then replace the respective files in the BIO4/gradients folder (after backing up the original) and set the post processing to the same number. They fuck with the HUD though and visibility is messed up in a few places so it's probably not a good idea for first time users, but for vets like me who want a challenge, this could be a cool way to play through the game again.

So even though I have 1 card comparable to your two I should be good to go?
You have a 6950. You can assume you are always good to go for the foreseeable future.
You may have to turn down some settings due to the lowered VRAM, but you will be fine. I am in that same boat as well.

Yesterday I only played the beginning area in my rig, which has the following specs:
DC2D OC @ 3.2 GHz
4GB RAM
GTX 560 Ti
Game was running at 1080p, 60 fps in the beginning area leading to the village. I'll test it again tonight to see how it handles when there are lots of enemies on the screen.
If you guys hadn't mentioned how some of the new HD textures are not quite right, I wouldn't have noticed. Meh, I'll still play it, the gameplay is what makes this game shine. It could look like a game filled with stick figures, and I would still play it... so good.

I could see the post-process effect thing being amusing. I took the simple two-color gradient from collige above and quickly made a modification.

Controls are fine, just remember that it's RE4, and that when you aren't aiming the mouse isn't going to turn Leon, just move the camera around. You turn with the A and D keys. The game was built around these controls, and while it doesn't control like modern third person shooters, it controls really well with mouse and keys for what the game is supposed to be.
Even on an analogue thumb stick, there wasn't analogue turning.
More like UK boxart edition.
Yeah, I beat the game a million times so I'm used to the controls and I like them, but it occurred to me that moving might feel really clunky with a cramped laptop keyboard. I usually don't like third person games on kb/m either. What the hell though, I'll give it a shot.

You may need to turn on vsync or triple buffer.
