Capcom Figures it's About Time You Bought Resident Evil 4 Again

They figured correct.

I remember the rage I felt after buying the boxed PC version how ever many years back on release day. It was actually not until a few years after that I played RE4 for the first time using that god awful port. It was awesome, but only because modders fixed the major issues I had with it. Those were the graphics, no controller support and having xbox controls displayed on screen instead of keys. Come to think of it, I think RE4 was the first incredibly bad port that I can recall buying.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

The Only thing i want capcom to do is make a megaman game but they dont care about fans.

Truth.

@mrklorox: For my money, the Wii version is the best version. I think the controls make it one of the few Wii games to properly justify the use of the remote. With a bit of practise you can be an absolute crackshot. As a result, it makes the game a lot easier than it probably should be, but it's super satisfying.

If you have a Wii and a few pounds / dollars / euros spare (I picked it up second hand for next to nothing), it's worth taking a look at. The controls are a total game changer.

Guys, guys! We'll stop being complete jerks with DLC, that makes us the cool dudes!

More re-releases! Cover everything with re-releases! There's infinite money in the same games!

(I'm totally down for the upcoming Deep Down though.)

I love this game so much that I'm happy to keep buying it. I played it on my gamecube so much that my brother and I were doing knife-only speed-runs....

@andrewb: Ah, that's a shame. I actually never spent time with the Wii version. I just assumed it would bypass the issues since you could just aim with the wiimote, while still retaining analog movement on the nunchuck.

Actually, I bought the Wii version in hopes it would alleviate the control issues which kept me from enjoying or at least being able to finish the game, but the Wii controls provide their own set of quirks and issues.

I suppose it's probably just me, though.

This should have been the 2007 game! Not the crap they released.

As long as it doesn't control like total garbage like the recent console releases. Left stick to aim? Fuck you Japan circa 2004. Theoretically, mouse aiming should fix that, right?

Who am I kidding? We all know it'll feel like a total mess, just like every other version of this game... except for maybe the Wii version, ironically.

And the Capcom train keeps on going.

Already bought the GC, Wii, 360 and PS3 version of this, so I don't feel the need to dive in again, though I will admit that the idea of having it 60fps would be kinda lovely.

That said, I find it kinda gross that they didn't address the PCs original issues, rather than just repackaging and reselling what v1 should have been in the first place.

OH FUCK...Man I'd kill for an HD re-release of all the Onimusha games... ;_;

Well I don't think it's that bad since the original PC port was pretty awful.

say ND to HD!!!

I am not against RE4 being available on any platform possible. Eventually RE4 may run out of "timelessness", but for now I would encourage all action game fans to play it.

I've played this game first on the GC, then Wii, then 360 and that last time was good at first, but then became quite the slog to get through it just for the achievements.

Great game, but I'm never going to play it again.

With that said, I hope this version spurs new players to pick this game up. It really is an all time classic that should be experienced.

"A complete visual overhaul has been performed to bring this revered title to the highest graphical quality ever."

Someone at Capcom wrote this with a straight face.

Remember when the Resident Evil series wasn't a joke?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

In three years we'll get Resident 4 Ultimate HD Turbo for the PC.

Just bought it (again). I know Capcom gets a lot of shit for doing re-releases, but in this case it's totally worth it to have a good version of this classic game on PC.

I wonder if HD means "locked at 1280x720" on PC.

I played the game a year ago on ps3 and you know what? It still holds up exceptionally well! However, more frames won't get me to buy this game again.... Well maybe when it's on sale

I think I've bought this game more times than maybe any other game. GameCube, Wii, Xbox 360...and multiple copies of each. It's one of my favorite games of all time, but this is maybe a little overboard. GC version was the best still, apart from the lack of widescreen support. (Just like another game I bought the same day: Twilight Princess...man what a bummer that game was.)

Played RE4 HD for 360 in the fall when it was on sale. So I think I am good right now.

They could have made it like that from the start. Nothing here a PC could not handle in 2006. At least they finally come out with a version on PC that is not total crap. Although people had modded that version and made it pretty good already with better textures and such.

Own this on the Wii and never played it to this day. Maybe I'll pick this up and finally check it out.

I'll buy it (again) for a high price!

@shtinky: And if they did, make Jeff play it.

Might be my 4th time buying this. Will be worth it

I love Resident Evil 4, I'd still probably consider it one of my all time favorite games, but I've also been done with that game for a long time now and have no intention of playing it again any time soon, nor do I care about this. It just seems awkward. I got the game on GameCube, PS2 and the Wii. I had thought about getting it on either 360 or PS3, but never did, and that was initially due to someone saying it didn't support Dolby Digital, when I believe it actually does. Yes, that turned me off. Anyways, eh.

And I figure that its time that Capcom made another decent resident evil.

Capcom rules baby.

Damn, thanks Capcom, i haven't purchased RE4 in awhile.

According to steam it's 15gigs. I don't see how this game can be this big unless they're still using pre-rendered cutscenes...

I hope I'm wrong, because fuck this version if I'm not.

I would love a Load our Last... Resident Evil 4 feature. Even though, I'm sure the staff have already played it numerous times.

The only Resident Evil game I really spent any significant time on (and finished), hadn't really touched the series before nor touched it since.

If they brought this to Vita I maybe intrested but yet another PC version no thank you.

Well. Huh. I'll probably buy this game again I guess. This will only be the third time.

anyway it says UHD so I assume this is in 4k.

I wonder if they're going to make sure all the saps who paid for the HD edition of RE4 on PC in 2007 get a free copy of this.

Seems like "textures have been upgraded on characters, backgrounds and in-game objects" seems to be someone opened the texture files, resized then and added a sharpen filter. And then actually redid the textures for Leon and Ashley. Which looks INCREDIBLE:

Well I'll happily buy it again, I mean, look at all those frames!

I'll make do with the 3 versions I already have.

3 actually had a decent PC-port. I'd kill to get that running on a modern OS.

I will buy RE4 on every possible avenue, honestly. What an incredible game. I have no qualms paying again.

I'm a little confused. What variety of D will I be getting?
