Resident Evil: Revival Selection |OT| RE4 and REC:VX now in HD!
- Thread starter ULTROS!
- Start date
- Capcom puts out an unfinished product called Marvel vs Capcom 3 and charges $60.
- Gets caught with on disc DLC of Jill and Shuma Gorath. Ends up not supporting title.
- Announced the full game Ultimate MvC3 and ask for $40 more bucks for features that should have been in the original release.

- Fucks up Ps3 release of RE Revival Selection.
I am just going to buy used copies of RE4/CV for PS2. Capcom just lost out on $40.

I really want 4 in HD but I think the controls will keep me from buying it. I wish they would've added an alternate control scheme, like in RE 5, with right analog stick aiming. Will this get a trial version on 360? FPS and TPS from last gen just haven't seem to age well for me because of the controls.
Eurogamer gave RE4HD a 7/10

Boils down to "It looks like shit but it's RE4 and therefore awesome"

There is absolutely no way the Wii version looks better, unless both my 27'' LCD and 42'' plasma are broken or something.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Seriously, you're just being an idiot if you think RE4 on the Wii looks as good as the HD versions.

Absolute troll of the highest degree. They're happy to lavish praise upon the GOW and ICO collections, but suddenly RE4 HD is ugly?

I haven't played this since the original PS2/GameCube (can't remember which) version but I was wondering how the aiming was going to work if it isn't on the right thumb stick.

You use the left stick. You can't move while aiming so it doesn't cause a problem.

Harsh review by Eurogamer. Their complaints honestly don't sound like something that's going to really bother me though. It's what I'm expecting, I'll still greatly prefer it over playing SD RE4 on my TV.

*hugs the hated PC version of RE4*
In saying that, i've just read that the PlayStation Plus deal is coming to the EU, so I will be buying it and CVX on PS3.

I am an RE4 advocate of the highest degree. I think it's the game of its respective decade.StuBurns said:
Additionally, I don't have a PS3.
I did play the Wii version to full completion (and the GC version to partial completion--not unlocking the handcannon--back when it first came out).
Whether or not you think the Wii controls are a disgrace (even though they are one of three control options for that game), the control type exists. People have played with the pointer; some liking it, and some disliking it. RE5 for the PS3 eventually had Move support. There's no good excuse to not include the option.
To repeat, I DON'T HAVE A PS3. It just comes as common sense that Capcom should include the new control type for those who have access to it and prefer it.
I agree that the game is designed to be played with a pad, and I agree that using a pad is the definitive way to play. But I've beaten the game using both control styles and they're both satisfying in their own ways. I think it's a bit extreme to imply that RE4 isn't worthwhile with the easier control style; it's every bit as worthwhile, just in a different way.

Seems hard to imagine that control scheme now. I'm sure it'll be fine as I seemed to remember loving it back in the day.
I really hope when they release RE5 on the PSN store that it's the gold version. Probably unlikely though. Capcom seem to always slightly underdeliver.

Well, those collections were lovingly translated to HD, and their art styles worked in HD. RE4 in HD on Dolphin looks great, so they must have really buggered it up to make it "ugly"
I mean, this paragraph sort of says something;
This isn't some lovingly done HD remaster, a-la the ones you mentioned. It's a quick cash grab, designed to make some money. I mean, look at this paragraph;
So, it's like the review says. Half baked. The game deserved the bluepoint treatment, and instead we got this :/ I mean, the ready at dawn god of war remasters got expanded lighting, a locked frame rate, AA up the wazoo, and this has SCALED BACK effects? It's nonsensical.

Does anyone know how the game plays and looks compared to RE4 on the backward compatible PS3? I loved RE4, and I still play through it a couple of times about once a year. I had planned on buying RE4HD as soon as it was available, but after reading some of these posts, I'm not so sure anymore.

Maybe the most half-assed "HD upgrade" since the PoP trilogy. Jesus Christ, Capcom

So... I didn't bother to go read too much of the backlog on this... but the RE4 / Veronica on PS3 isn't going to have a Platinum, while the 360 will have 1000 achivement points?
Also, before anyone says these meaningless points don't matter, can it. I'm not asking your superior opinion on how gamers gotta game.

That's true, i'm just saying terrible RE4 ports have happened before
(Also, I bet the prerendered cutscenes have only been upscaled :/ )
Edit: You know what ready at dawn did with the god of war psp remaster cutscenes? They re-rendered them all in HD. That's dedication.

God of War Collection looks stunning. Ghost of Sparta from the 2nd collection is a criminally good PSP conversion, possibly outperforming GoW2.
RE4, what I've seen of it, looks like a shitty port supposedly without AA and even with slowdown. If thats all true, EG isn't trolling at all.
Does it make the game bad? Probably not. Its still RE4 and thats a classic.

Videogamer 9/10: http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/resident_evil_4/review.html
Well that review is certainly discouraging. You'd think Capcom could at least show a little more port love to RE4. Boring achievements and they're removing graphical effects instead of adding them...and then asking $20 for it (for the 360, at least)? Eh, may just focus on Gears 3 and the plethora of potentially great games coming out and just pickup RE4 when it inevitably goes on sale...

You'll be waiting a while for the 360 version to go on sale as I don't believe any Games on Demand titles sell for less than $19.99. Maybe sign up for PS Plus and get it on PS3 for $9.99?
I'm still getting the 360 version since I have a large stack of MS Points to use.
There aren't exactly a lot of pre-rendered scenes, though. The intro is the only one that comes to mind (though I'm sure there are a couple more).V_Ben said:That's true, i'm just saying terrible RE4 ports have happened before

The PS2/PC versions of the games used a LOT of pre-recorded scenes, however.

Disappointing that it'd end up being a shitty cash-in port. RE4 deserves so, so much better; it's still better than just about any game that's come out this generation.

did the Wii version of Seperate Ways use pre-rendered cutscenes? i think it did but i'm not sure. been a while. but yeah, in the main campaign, it's a very minor issue.dark10x said:
missing effects is a much bigger issue. will have to look very carefully at the two side by side.
i know the 720p version is going to look a crap load better than the Wii version looks on my HDTV. it mightn't look better than RE4 looked on a CRT, but i don't have a CRT anymore... and it's painful firing up RE4 on Wii and GC on my current set.

Lol, there is no online merc leaderboards. That needs to be put in the OP.
Eurogamer is trash. I don't have the RE4 JP version yet but saying that its worse than the SD version yet telling people to get the Wii version? I'm 99.1% sure that the GC SD version is better than the Wii Version using an HDTV.

I think it's gone everywhere. It's not specular mapping, though. It's environment-mapped bump mapping, a pretty ancient effect by today's standards.
