If any of you goons frequent digg it's likely that you've seen this already. It's simply incredible.

The PC version of RE4

I need not say more.

yeah but to be fair PCs have vastly different standards to they have to make it wrk on lower end systems to sell more copies.

You forgot to mention that it doesn't support the mouse - it's keyboard only.

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.

They are just getting it ready to port to PSP.

Amodaus1 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 07, 2007, 12:57:14 PM »

i second that PSP theory. I bet it'll be a compilation, Resident evil 4 compilation, the best parts of resident evil 4 on your PSP!

I must be missing it...

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.

It is the almost complete lack of any lighting, even the fire in the first set of shots looks like it is not putting out any light. The laser is too clean. Also there doesn't seem to have any shader effects or texture effects of any kind. Also the PC version for some reason has no color in its textures like if almost everything has been converted to grey scale or 1bit. the thebtexture resolution is also very inconsitant.

your assuming every one upgrades thier poc regulary. 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.

MarioAllStar · « **Reply #9 on:** February 07, 2007, 03:37:37 PM »

Too Much Brown (tm). It must be next-gen.

Artimus · « **Reply #10 on:** February 07, 2007, 03:56:15 PM »

I forgot how nice the GC's lighting was.

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

Mikintosh · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2007, 08:23:28 PM »

My first thought was actually "that doesn't look so bad." Of course, the last game I got working on a computer I own was Descent: Freespace back in '99. We do not "buy" "memory" very often in our household, sadly.

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!

RE4 PC = teh loose. Period.

"RE4 PC = teh loose. Period."

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

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2007, 05:19:34 AM »

Totally flaccid.

*avoids commenting about the beautiful Ada Wong*

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!

*glares at Pro666*

*again*

Jeez the PC version looked dark

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #20 on:** February 15, 2007, 05:10:50 PM »

If it had any sort of lighting, it would look fantastic. I've been playing it using a wired Xbox 360 controller, so it's basically identical to playing the Gamecube version, just at a much higher resolution and without the awesome lighting...and with horrendous videos. Seriously, they look like they should be on the GBA or something.

vudu · « **Reply #21 on:** February 16, 2007, 06:30:57 AM »

What do they give you in the way of bonus missions/costumes/weapons, etc? Everything that was in the PS2 version? Anything exclusive?

JonLeung · « **Reply #22 on:** February 16, 2007, 06:41:08 AM »

It better have both "Assignment Ada" and the PS2 Ada side-story "Separate Ways".

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

KDR_11k · « **Reply #23 on:** February 16, 2007, 07:14:58 AM »

I think I'd get nothing if I bought that, they already removed all end-of-game unlockables from the GC version here.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #24 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:13:45 AM »

utter cr@p, thank god the gamecube game took place at NIGHT!
