This is a new low in console-to-PC ports, even for Capcom.

PC games need to be SCALABLE. That means they have to cater to a range, not necessarily set the max details really low. Considering the age of the 'Cube and PS2, a decent port probably shouldn't need to sacrifice any visuals even for a low-end gaming rig.
Unless the person who took those screenshots was playing with the settings turned WAY down, the game's graphics engine was just very lazily ported (a lazy console to PC port? Unheard of). Plus, no mouse aiming = fail.

Besides the lack of mouse control, what's so bad about the shots? Looks alright to me.
Edit: Looked at a few more shots of the graveyard and it seems like it's a bit brighter than it's supposed to be. Brightness issue? Overal looks to use the GC textures and the PS2 lighting (kinda... like I said some areas look to bright)
Overal, it looks fine though.

Rememebr the GC still has pretty beefy hardware compared to most off the shelf pcs even by todfays standards, integrated video cards always are very low end. We are talking gaming rigs we are talking PC period, and besides which the game doesnt even look as bad as has been reported. And again the poster could have had the settings to low anyways. we dont knwo that.
Those who don't upgrade their PC or even use integrated graphics aren't the target market for games. Integrated graphics won't run anything above first gen Dreamcast level and I don't think RE4 can be scaled down that far.

Wait for it.....
That's because you have a Mikintosh!

Yes! It's not tight at all. Very relaxed fit.

I can't see the pics, since I'm at work. But it sounds pretty bad.
So the cut-scenes are recorded as video for the PS2 version and then further recompressed for the PC?
Boo. They should be rendered real-time like the original GCN version.Then again, videos would be easier to rip straight from the game for other use. If only someone would record the GCN's cutscenes directly and at extremely high-quality!

I played the GCN version so "Separate Ways" is really the only point of playing this game again.

Ada Wong music video featuring footage from RE4 & Separate Ways set to Jimmy Eat World's "Pain"
So does the PC version have Separate Ways, or no?

Quotesuppousedly it does, but since I don't have the game I can't say for sure...

QuoteAwesome, as the rope-gun tripping/flipping thing is in the opening of Separate Ways, meaning that it's in the PC version. Now I don't have to miss out. There's often a way out of getting a PS2 game, or a PS2 version of a game (considering that I don't have a PS2). That way is usually a PC port, sure... (PC and GameCube FTW!)

It has some of those scenes, but I don't think it has all of them. Ada dropping down and the crows fly away are there, and when she shoots the rope-gun thingie and trips the Ganado is in there. Actually I looked a little more and most of, if not all, of those scenes are in there.
After I get the game, I'll probably be asking for a system save file that has Separate Ways unlocked if I can't make the time to replay the main game. Still, I guess it's one of those games that's worth replaying, if only to see glimpses of Ada in the context of the story (rather than drooling over the .MPEGs or .AVIs on the disc)...
