QUICK GUYS, pray to the Helix Fossil so that GMG can send out keys tonight!

 

[family_guy]

Anyone know if they support aiming with the right analog stick?

 

[L00P]

Gaaahhh I couldn't resist the greenman deal. I bought this game for the third time now. No regrets. I can't believe I'm still excited to play a game I've played a million times before

I activated the code for Soundtrack and Artbook Bonus, but where is it located? Or is just pre-loaded too?

I am not sure if available yet (have not pre-loaded), but it'll be contained in the game's steam folder, in the Steam < Steamapps > Resident Evil 4 folder.

It did this with Resident Evil 6 and Revelations, at least.Will be a folder in the game's main director labelled as "Soundtrack" or something, and something like "Artbook".

 

[Semajer]

Urgh. I gave in. I wanted to wait until a sale. I've played RE4 so many times that I nearly get physically ill when I try again, but those frames look so good.

Thank you. I have it pre-loaded out the house, but didn't check the contents yet.

Do we know when this unlocks?

 

[IcyRhythms]

Do we know when this unlocks?

I think tomorrow at around 2PM PST

I think tomorrow at around 2PM PST

The store page says it will unlock at 4PM Pacific, while Capcom's post on the forums says 9PM Pacific.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/254700/discussions/0/558748822502329573/

Capcom has to push the unlock manually through the registry, so I don't know which one to believe.

As someone who has only ever played PS2-based versions of this game, how often do the GC/Wii versions use these effects, exactly?

Like, is there subtle specular highlighting all over the game? Or is it only in a few places?

The subtle specular highlighting effect is all over the place actually, like on Leon's jacket, shoes, gloves, enemies like the novistadores, etc. BUT the effect is so subtle in most instances that you don't notice it. I'd say the 60fps benefit far outweighs the loss of specular highlights.

 

[Tain]

kinda what I feared D:

I'm getting this either way, but good to know.

Also there are videos illustrating the differences though, like when lightning flashes on the GCN version, the environment lights and reflects it, and on the PS2 version, it stays pretty much static. Over all, the PS2 version was at a pretty big downgrade from the GCN for an atmospheric game like this is imo, the lighting effects were worse all around.

I never played RE4, but I'm interested Someone tell me why, in 2014, I should play this game.

 

[Silkworm]

I never played RE4, but I'm interested Someone tell me why, in 2014, I should play this game.

Because the gameplay holds up well even by today's standards? I'm sure other people have more eloquent arguments for playing it

Edit: Also because it's fun!

I never played RE4, but I'm interested Someone tell me why, in 2014, I should play this game.

it's still very good. the graphics aren't as hot but the gameplay is still good stuff.

 

[Alo81]

I never played RE4, but I'm interested Someone tell me why, in 2014, I should play this game.

Because it popularized the third person shooter genre and is still one if, if not the best game of that genre.

because its a great game? good games don't have a shelf life.

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

Because it is still the top of its class, even in 2014.

 

[Anteater]

it's a decent game, like how super mario bros is still worth playing, even though there are dozen of sequels

if it doesn't look appealing to you then just grab it on a steam sale

It's a decent game sorta like how FFVI or Chrono Trigger is a decent RPG.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

I'll be keeping an eye on this - I have already bought it three times - and will probably get it a fourth if there is some good mod support from the community.

 

[mattiewheels]

The title should be something about ballistics...

 

[zephervack]

Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition PC |OT| I'll buy it at a Steam sale price

Not because the port is bad, just because you know must people will wait until then.

Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition |OT| Comes with a free coupon for 1 serving of Ballistic-stew

[Zornack]

I've never played RE4. Should I play Code Veronica before RE4 for story reasons? I've played 0 through 3.

Nah you don't need to.

Nope, RE4 is a very isolated story line, it has a short intro cinematic that feeds you the whole backstory of umbrella and everything else that has happened before.

 

[UrbanRats]

Which one do you guys like the best?

Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition PC |OT| 30 FPS is small-time
Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition PC |OT| Welcome back, stranger!
Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition PC |OT| 60 FPS es vivir
Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition PC |OT| This will tide us over until Dragon’s Dogma

I'm gonna start crying.

 

[Lasthope106]

Can't wait for this. Such a good game. I really hope people mod the shit out of this. The abomination we got before was patched to a good state, so I'm hoping with this version, modders will make it shine.

Oh, true true. I thought he was just asking about what he'll be missing in the UHD version, understanding that they have brought over the GCN lighting effects for the most part.

You're so lucky, I wish I could play RE4 for the first time again.

Does anyone know if the dynamic difficulty of RE4 applies to Professional too?
