Resident Evil 4 HD Launch Trailer

cool game

EDIT : Never owned it for myself, might get this when it gets cheaper. Also, first.

boof

Looks, okay, I guess.

Is there a price for this already? I'm not paying more than $14.99 for this.

For $10 due to the Plus discount I'm getting this as soon as the store updates.

20 bucks on Xbox

Port of the bad PC version, no thank you kind Capcom sirs!

Never played this, might check it out later. Way too much stuff to play right now...

I wish they re-recorded the voice acting. It's beyond awful.

Leon's voice actor being among the most offensively bad.

They should really advertise getting 1, 2 and 3 this week being free for Plus members as well.

Rest in peace, Mike.

And so, for the 4th time, I give in to the allure of Resident Evil 4.

Ah, the game that killed Resident Evil for me. I know some people love it. I'm not one of those people.

I think the hammy acting fits the tone of the game.

$19.99. Aaaaagh! Leon!

I own both the PS2 and PC version. I don't need this one; HD doesn't add that much to the overall experience.

Oh hey, it's that dog!

It's a port of the Wii version, not the crappy PC version.

The PC version with mods looks way better but I may get this if they've improved the controls . . .

I always liked Leon as a main character cause of his horrible lines

If this includes Separate Ways and Operation Ada, it could be the second-best version of RE4 ever.

Make a quick look please. I

Didn't know the Sith was part of this game.

I'd rather have updated textures instead of HD.

Was an HD version really needed?

It's time giantbomb got quoted. I never played this, so I might buy it at this price.

For $10 I think I will get this, thanks PS+

I will be joining you on that one, but I swear this is the last time I re buy this game, probably.

Yo, those textures still look like shit.

If they did this properly, yeah I'd pay $20 for it. As it stands, why would I pay that much for a lazy port of a game I already have on the GameCube and have beaten like six times?

I'd want: more upgraded visuals, more voice samples for the enemies and variety in appearances...little tweaks here and there. Ultimately, I think the game's nearly perfect and one of the best ever made. Still, I don't really want it.

EDIT: Game Informer and Official Xbox Magazine seem to think this is a very quality port. Hmm...maybe if it goes on sale.

@RE_Player92: That's cool that you like them. I just preferred the old games with real zombies and not the monster head poppers. Resident Evil was actually the first Playstation game I ever played way back in 1997. I'm getting cantankerous in my old age!

Could they have done more? Yes.

Do I love REmake 1000x more than this one? Ok, yes.

But is it the definitive version of one of the best action games of all time in glorious 1080p widescreen? YES.

Would be cool if they did a Quicklook of this.

You know what? I don't get to say this enough.

The Wii version is still the best one out there.

Heh. That felt weird.

EDIT: For the record, widescreen support on 480p actually looks good, tons of content, a single disc release, none of the PC version's jank. Definitely the one to get. I'm serious.

Paying $5 for this thanks to PS+ and having $5 amazon credit handy. Thank god they sell $10 PSN credit.

For the record- this is NOT a port of the PC version. If anything it's a retrofitting of the Wii version; which took the best of the GCN and PS2 versions. Original Gamecube textures, models, and real-time cutscenes; paired with the PS2 version's extra costumes and content (The PC version was strictly a port of the PS2 version). Beyond that, it's a pretty minimal port and definitely not a complete overhaul. Less jaggies, yay. The only thing they've "added" is leaderboards for the various modes, a new control scheme (more akin to the default in RE5), and maybe a bit of a very, VERY subtle film grain effect? Although given the workmanlike quality of the port that too was probably already in the Wii version.
 
All that being said, I'm really enjoying playing through this game again (definitely going after that 1000G yo). But uh, yeah, having the username "President_Evil" I would say that. Your mileage may vary.

I bought this. It's not a quality port. It does not look good at all, everything is just uprezzed and stretched out, no actual work was done on textures.

That said, it's still RE4, which makes it still one of the best games of the last generation, and you can play it on a HDTV, with a 360/ps3 pad and achievements. For 20 bucks, that's enough for me, even if I don't want to encourage lazy ports like this.

I'll buy it at a low price!

(maybe)

Waiting for the EU PSN release tomorrow, so I can buy it at a low price! Can't wait to set my teeth back into this classic though!

hell yeah it does, i was hoping it was going to look like that but noooooo, the PC mods make it like like a current gen game!!! this not so much.

If only they could of used this opportunity to add Luis into the Mercenaries mode. That would require they actually do some added work, though. =X

Glad I never played Resident Evil 4, but it's unfortunate that it's all gray/brown.

I just started it and it's not the most impressive thing i've seen. This is not on par with better HD collections like the God of War Collection/Origin.

This is essentially gamecube/wii graphics that don't look like garbage on an HD TV. If you only played the PS2 version this is a nice upgrade but this is still a fairly lazy port.

The game itself is still outstanding even today though and totally worth playing.

This came out of nowhere I'm not ready ^__^
 
Now on PSN!

Certainly one of the best games of all time.

Such a great game. Controls might kill it for some people. Those people suck.

I had no idea that this was dropping today. I never played the original, so I hope that you guys do some sort of comparison.

*puppy eyes* Pleeeease...?

EDIT: "Upcoming content: RE4 Quick Look." Check.

Which looks better? The PS2 version in progressive scan or this HD release. If there is no difference I will make the investment in ps2 component cables and play that instead.
