Is it up on PSN search now?

 

[plagiarize]

i am pretty sure this is direct copy from GC, all effects included and slowdown's too lol

Embm is missing from the ps3 screens, presumably also missing from the 360 version. Everything else seems intact so far.

 

[JimmyRustler]

It just sucked me in for 3 hours. Every goddamn time, RE4. Every goddamn time.

Thhhhhiiiiissss

Goddamn... Have to go lifting.... Well, up to the next save, then I'll quit. ^^

Just met the merchant and lmao. I don't know, but the stuff he says has just gone classic over the past few years. :lol

Its a bump mapping technique the cube did. RE4 used it a lot on slimy bosses and other things.

hmmm, maybe..will see

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

i'm actually really impressed by that dolphin shot, will probs play it on that.

The problem with this game in Dolphin is that the audio in cutscenes is tied to the framerate, so if you dip even one little bit below 30fps for one moment, the rest of the cutscene is out of sync. Other than that, it's glorious.

 

[WrenchNinja]

So what economy does this version have? More money or more ammo?

Also has the DRM been confirmed for the PS3 version yet?

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Lol @ Eurogamer: "That's the killer: Resident Evil 4 HD doesn't look better than Resident Evil 4 SD."

Uh huh... http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_resident_evil_revival_selection_gameplay-23707_en.html

I just finished the first section after Leon and Luis escape with 4 shotgun shells left...

Like, on a serious note guys: Will there ever be a game polished this well again?

Aha. As they say, "More money, more problems.".

I could make a video using Dolphin with the native res of the game on one side and it rendered at 720p on the other and that would show how much of an improvement just uprezzing it is. What an absurd statement.

And that would understate the difference because it wouldn't show the dithering that's all over transparency and lighting effects in the cube and Wii versions.

Yup. I'm guessing they mean RE4 SD on an old CRT compared to RE4 HD on a new plasma or something.

 

[legacyzero]

I'm actually happy that the game still somewhat looks like crap. The game is widescreen, and the edges are smoother and clearer.

RE4 is meant to look this way. Since when is running around in a dank and scary horror setting supposed to represent "DAT GRAFFIX"

It is what it is. I'm satisfied. The one thing I'm NOT happy about is lack of achievements.

It still looks good...no where near crap regardless of the hardware its running on (mobile version excluded of course), but I doubt anyone would complain if they added AA...or even did some crazy full remake using MT Framework 2.0 or whatever. Atmosphere in a game has everything to do with art design and use of lighting as well as sound...and RE4 really represented DAT GRAFFIX back in the day.

Honestly it probably still does, since some games...while having better graphics in general, still cant match some of the environments 4 threw at you.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'm actually kind of glad I can play the game and get every Achievement without even looking at a guide. Makes a change from Achievement/Trophy hunting in games like Dead Space 2 where you need a laptop open with a bunch of youtube guides.

Dead Space 2 looked pretty good.

 

[Hi2u]

Is it just me or is there hardly any surround sound on re4 hd on 360? Granted only been playing first 10 minutes but watched a few cutscenes and one of the camera panning from the house where zombies are clearly behind but there is no surround sound anywhere ..?

The game didn't have surround sound to begin with. It supported Pro Logic II, which is just faked surround using stereo.

any confirmation on this?

Gears of War 3 just came out

 

[FrankT]

For a first timer this game blows a lot of this gen out of the water in terms of everything save gfx.

I am jealous of each and every first timer. And less jealous of everyone that is enjoying the game rather than trying to stop the world spinning around.

Sounds good! I'll be a first-timer, too!

Did anyone get to Ashley yet? Is she hotter in HD?

But there's no variety, though

Seriously. It's like 90% story cheevos. Throw in some tasks!

-Hey, It's that dog!
-Looked up Ada's dress in popcap viewer

Those, my friend, are awesome achievements.

[FlawlessCowboy]

Thanks for the screens, guys. Gonna pull the trigger on this when I get my 360 back from Microsoft.

RE4... so good.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Playing the game now on 360 and trust me, it is a huge visual upgrage compared to the Wii version through component (480p). RE 4 HD looks very sharp! Buy it. Serious. Eurogamer reviewer has shit in his eyes!

Semi-slow start, but it hits the stride pretty quick after the first sections.

Yea you can certainly tell that from the previous comparisons pics posted here earlier.

 

[MichaelEM3]

So I played for a good hour and a half this morning.

Mind you guys, I played it first on the Wii, but this game seems much, much harder than I remember. And I don't just mean in the aiming department. I feel like their are way more enemies than I remember (especially in the early post-rifle get part) and Wii-version levels of ammo (that is, not a whole lot).

Really enjoying it, though. Still good old RE4. They're super faithful to the controls so no right stick for camera control like in RE5. Still getting used to that.

 

[Mindman]

Really wanna pull the trigger, but jaggies are scaring me away. No demo I assume?

Dude, it's not that bad. Seriously. If you love RE4, that alone warrants the purchase.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Was debating buying this as I have never played it, only seen people play, but how hard is it? From what I always saw the game is fairly tough.

 

[gray_fox224]

X360 version, EU, no doubt this is GC version, i have GC and beat the game around 20 times since 2005. all textures, all effects the same, and i must say, this is a best version of RE4.

Thanks bro. Can't wait to download

 

[Wario64]

What the fuck man, seriously

I hope all the people who were lambasting Capcom for supposedly making GCN/Wii shots look worse than they were in the old thread realize how utterly silly they all were.

OH GOD GAF YOU'RE MAKING ME WHITE KNIGHT CAPCOM OF ALL THINGS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

[QUOTE=bigben85]any confirmation on this?[/QUOTE]
As I've said in my last post, it's definitely gone. It's something most people probably won't notice if it wasn't pointed out to them, but it does take something away from certain key moments.

It's a shame, but the game is such a massive upgrade in -every other- aspect that ultimately it doesn't matter so much. Just being able to play this game at a decent resolution with no dithering - and no visual or audio glitches like in dolphin - is a godsend.

Buy this shit, and stop comparing it to massively downsampled dolphin shots cherrypicked from the game's most impressive moments, for fuck's sake.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Please, people, do not refrain from buying one of the best games of all time just because it's missing a shiny texture here and there.

Goddamit massive image quote incoming!

What about people who bought it three times already, do I get a pass?

Sure, if you don't want the best looking version of the game yet.

Yes, you can do whatever you want. Though it would be nice if you stopped arguing so forcefully for how shitty a port it is based only on the words of one reviewer and some ugly screenshots, especially now that we have people with first hand experience and pictures speaking up.

It's really shitty compared to what KojiPro are doing with the Metal Gear games. Still buying.

 

[Sullichin]

Is this up on PSN yet? Hope it's up by the time I get back from work.

You seriously think that I'm not buying this because of "missing shiny textures"? Yeah, OK.
Enjoy your game, fellas. It's fucking awesome. Unlike this low-budget port that does it no justice.

I'm out. Apparently pointing out that this is sub-par is bad, mmmmmmmkay.

 

[Pachterballs]

looks great. I saw the screens and well, I'm going to buy this.

That said. Is the game region locked? I'm in AUS and will buy the american version. Please don't let it be region locked. Its $10 cheaper from the USpsn store.
