Strange people are so opposed to the price when the MSRP for the wii version seems to average for about the same on any given day.
People get more price conscious about console digital downloads than not.AgentOtaku said:
Personally, RE4 HD isn't worth the price of admission for a few reasons:
- It doesn't support Move despite RE5 and RE4Wii, so a big What the Fuck right there
- It's a 1000g point game on 360, but no platinum on PS3? What the fuck.
So no thanks. I already double dipped on the Wii version, and I've barely made progress on that. I have no plans on paying for a third time until the above has been fixed, which knowing Capcom, will be never in

The right analog stick camera is just weird. It's like some unholy mix of digital and analog input. It jerks around uncontrollably while I'm making minute adjustments. It really sucks, a functional camera would be great since I spend so much time just taking in the surroundings.

anyone able to screen shot what the control schemes are for the 360? it will be my deciding factor on whether i purchase this or not
Danielsan said:
Only one missing effect that most probably wont end up noticing anyway (hopefully). Game looks fine in action (just finished downloading the PS3 version). Controls seem just fine too.
Seriously, the game looks really nice and the whole "crappier than SD" was a false statement in every sense. Honestly i'm not seeing anything wrong with the font or HUD. Playing on a 37in (which isnt exactly small imo) and nothing is really sticking out like a sore thumb, from the lighting to the general sharpness of everything.
Of course i'm just in the very beginning. Not sure whats up with no platinum though.

Quite a lot of people going by comments in this thread, serious business this chevo stuff.
Im thinking i'll get CVX and leave RE4, if they had done a decent job with it I would have probably picked it up but as it stands I can't see any reason to purchase the game for a third time, it's a shame really as I would have liked to give all my monies over just in the hope it would persuade them to bring RE: Remake and Zero over to the PS3/360.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
EmSeta said:
I do.
But I still got this game because:
1. I fucking love RE4, and I haven't even fleshed out the game on the Wii yet.
2. Trophies in any way for RE is a big plus, even if there's no platinum.
kyo_daikun said:
In the few minutes i've played so far, imo it is a decent job aside from the missing platinums. The lighting is great, the controls are fine, the font and hud dont look odd in any way, and the game is pretty sharp. I've only got Cube and Wii experience, so this is my first time playing RE4 with the Dual Shock. Maybe its because I played RE5 on PS3 as well, but im not having any problems aiming, meleeing, or knifeing.
I do find myself wanting to run up and stomp people though.

How about the laziness on Capcom's side? Just the lack of quality control to have nobody go "something is off with this achievement/trophy stuff here". Do I care about trophies? Yes, I do, but I'm not even a big enough whore to say I would have even platinumed 4 as I hate replaying games multiple times. Still, trophies add a layer of gameplay to something here as I've already played these games before. It's the only draw for me to play through these games AGAIN. That or Move support. It's not a big deal for me, I simply don't buy the games, but man I'm sick of reading "trophies are dumb yo who cares". It's an extra feature that many people do enjoy, and if you don't, just ignore them.

They weren't full price games, how much would RE4 be without the discount? £10+?
It's more in the realm of the splinter cell/ god of war games anyway which did have Platinum trophies.
Technically costume quest has more trophies than RE4 if you count the extra DLC

Here are the two options you get. Where's the logic? B is unused in both, they moved the inventory screen (status) off the face buttons, put the map, of all things, where that used to be ('cause we use that a lot, wtf?) and change the "everything" A button to X and run/reload to A. What's even weirder is that A and X do the same thing in most menus, as if they forgot to unmap A from everything.
I'm sure it's all fine for people who haven't played and replayed this over the last several years. I'm adapting, but of course, just when it's do-or-die and I need to react without thinking, I reload instead of kicking and get chewed to death.

No move???stupid decision.....oh well ill pass this...maybe theylll use the wiimote on wii u version....
Leondexter said:
Oh come on. I've replayed RE4 more times than I'm willing to admit on every available platform. The new controls took me 10 minutes to get used to. If anything, they're better because my thumb rests over both A and X which makes QTEs very comfortable. The bigger jump for me was relearning to aim with the left stick.
Also,Has this version been dumbed down? I seem to be getting a hell of a lot of money, more than I ever remember having at given times. And getting the bottlecaps has been piss easy so far. I remember that being somewhat difficult on the Cube/PS2.

No, it wasn't. The original game is the Gamecube game, and the A button is the shoot/action button in every region's version. The Gamecube's A button equates to the A button's position (and letter) on the 360. Pretty easy logic, but they fucked it up.
I don't see how the (incorrect) button mapping they used in a previous port from another region is at all relevant. They screwed up before, therefore this isn't a screw-up? I don't think so.

I said, I'm adapting. And so are you. That doesn't make this any less dumb.
When they adapted the game for a controller with symmetrical buttons, that is the layout they chose. Regardless of whether you agree with it, it's the standardized format they went with for all modern controllers - RE5 with 'traditional' control scheme has the same layout as well. The decision was made to change it long before this port, and they didn't have the 360's letter arrangements in mind when they did it.Leondexter said:
I'm just explaining why it happened - and why B does nothing and A does everything. That's the reason. Live with it or leave it. Or just keep being angry.

I always used the dpad to move in RE4 on ps2, switching to the analog to aim, so as long as aiming is fine I won't really get that upset.
Button layout is the RE5 layout. I see no issues there.

ULTROS! said:I'm in the castle now, guess I'm progressing pretty fast (6 hours in).
I left off at the island last night, and i think my save was 12 hours although at least one hour of that was me idling. Only hiccup I've had was using all of my shotgun ammo on Verdugo, only to realise it wasn't going to do the job and using the rocket I was savingfor Salazar instead. Even then, I was able to just buy another rocket straight away. I've seriously got so much money in this playthrough. It's making me crave my Pro.
I can deal with the graphics. I originally played RE4 on the PS3 during the whole it's scaling/it's not scaling debacle. I ended up playing the game in progressive mode.
What I'm concerned about is the framerate. Is it mostly 30 fps with a few hiccups here and there or a stutter fest?

I bought this last night for 360 and played for around 45 minutes. It looks as good as I expected it to on a 40" TV. Sure, it's a little rough around the edges, but it looks a lot better than the Wii version.
Little disappointed by the control scheme - could really have done with right stick aim. The Wii Edition is definitely better in this regard - aiming with the Wiimote was a revelation. But, after being slightly annoyed by having to aim with the left stick, it took me all of 20 minutes to get used to it and now it's fine. Camera controls are also shonky. It's a 3D game, so I don't understand why they couldn't give it a proper 3D camera so players could have a proper look at the surroundings.
Oh, and as for cheevos - you can get 1000GS, but they're chopped up into only a few high-point achievements. Shows a lack of imagination/effort on Capcom's part. Especially seeing as the descriptions give major plot details away. I'd be annoyed had I not completed the game multiple times already. It's not hard to make them "secret achievements".
Other than that, it's Resi 4. Any excuse to play it again.
Separate Ways is definitely in there because it has its own leaderboard. Not sure about everything else, but I'd be surprised if they weren't in there.

Is the control layout on PS3 the same as the PS2 version?
Don't mind left stick aiming at all, and I don't see how right stick aiming would help at all since you can't even aim while moving. Maybe that's because I played through all of RE5 with the "Type A" control scheme (strafing did nothing for me).
Maybe it's just because I still don't identify RE4 and 5 as third person shooters, at least not conventional ones. I don't remember, but what stick do you aim with in Dead Space? Because that game in my opinion is the only current gen title that really took after RE4 in mechanics.

Its been 5 years since I played RE4, in that meantime I did play a reasonable amount of RE5 (on A setup) and thats why I was instantly used to RE4's controls. Maybe the menu should've been on Triangle though.

anyone complaining about the graphics needs to look at RE4 on an HDTV (none CRT) or needs to compare the PS2 version to this.Fry8 said:

right stick. you can move (slowly) and shoot at the same time in Dead Space.RedSwirl said:
i wish they'd left the Type A controls the default for the west in RE5. it was so weird having to go into controls and set it from D to A.

aaaand this is why you don't listen to the online press
This is embaressing
Their argument was about how upscaling like that makes all the flaws more apparent that the lower resolutions masked; the fact there's a bunch of graphical mods on PC is probably telling. I wouldn't really worry about it, it's the kind of thing you should kind of expect from just about any last gen game being ported up like this, not like it'd be anywhere near as severe as seeing many PS1 games like Metal Gear Solid 1 in 720p.

it still looks better than the blurry dithered mess that is RE4 on a modern HDTV. there isn't anywhere that looks worse in HD, even if many of the textures fail to compare to modern HD games.Eusis said:
and the PC version wishes it had the GameCube environments. one of the reasons the mod community leapt on RE4 on PC was because it was the inferior PS2 version. if i remember correctly, one of the first mods was to give the PC version the gamecube textures.

It was because EG's review that I went in with bottom low expectations, as I know how shitty original RE4 looks on HDTV. But RE4 HD turns out to look just fine on my V20. EG was talking shit when they claimed it didn't look better than SD.
