I'm gonna be honest...I'm playing RE4 for the first time in my life thanks to this port, 12 years after its release and now I understand the love for this game
I thought I was the only one that really loved the GameCube version of this game! I've owned every version of this game and played multiple times and I still think the GameCube version is still the best 10 years later.
You failed to mention the fact that the 2007 PC port, was shadowless without the patch that was pre-installed for the American release. Easily the worst version of RE4.
Kenville Farrell That would be pointless because there isn't a TV on the market with a native resolution of 1440p and 1440p looks like shit on a 4k TV.
odd how they keep making "remakes "of RE4 yet I don't think they have ever done a real remaster of this game it still looks best on a gamecube in 480I on a tube TV
? Why would the release of scorpio be like judgement day? I'm not sure what you mean. (I'm not a fanboy of either side i just love gaming in general so maybe thats why i dont quite get it lol)
Ok ok maybe it's me but I thought the PS4 and X1 versions looked waaaaay better than the PC Mod project one. The jacket looks like leather, the ground looked more detailed and everything looked crisp. The PC Mod looked blurry. Not looking to offend or upset anyone but that's what I see.
I know what you're saying, it looked kind of blurry, but TRUST me, head over to the RE 4 HD Project Mod page and see the comparisons, what they are doing is insane, the video doesn't do it justice at all.
The reason in videos the PS4/XB1 ports look sharper is because they have no AA. In a compressed video it may look to have sharper textures but all of the edges would be jagged.
That's the lack of anti-aliasing. It may make it look a bit sharper initially in a video with side-by-side comparison as YT compression smashes anti-aliased textures, but the actual in-person viewing experience is much worse.
I would like to point out if you didn't know already, PS4 allows for key binds for controllers so you can swap R1 and L1 with R2 and L2 via accesibility settings on PS4.
Playing RE4 UHD on my PC hooked to 55inch TV with 2560x1440 with 2x MSAA on silky smooth 60fps + xbox one gamepad = True Horror Experience !!! =) Shinji Mikami will be Proud !!!
It's at least nice I can put the Run & Action buttons where they're SUPPOSED to be, but now the QTE's don't match up. Why Capcom? Why ever since RE5 did you force me to undo 10 years of Survival Horror habit? Why?...You monsters...
***** It wasn't a PS4 vs Xbone comment. In the video, he explained he didn't like the default button layout of the PS4 while Xbone has defaults on triggers, which he liked. The OP just stated: You can go into settings and change the buttons on the PS4. That's it. Don't need to go full defense force.
Yeah I don't know why he didn't mention the enhanced details on Leon's jacket when compared to the very very blurry PC edition. Fucking hell he's really jacking off onto his PC in this video isn't he? It's only RE4, this isn't a nice looking game by any stretch of the imagination.

My settings are set to the HD textures and only look slightly better than the Original textures. They don't look NEARLY as sharp as the PS4 and Xbox One versions, I literally just checked again and they still look muddy and blurry. :/ I also have the sped up aim animation problem on PC and have found no way to fix it.
+BustyChicks FTW I'd be surprised since the Xbox version is closer to x86 arch and programming language. Thus easier to port to PC. On a side note: Weirdly, my accelerated aim animation problem went away but the aim still feels a bit off compared to my Wii and GC versions. Textures still look like shit, but, if you turn off the in-game AA and AF and use your GPU control panel for those it makes it look much better, the in-game AA has FXAA on top of MSAA and the AF kind of blurs the textures, both of those issues are gone when using your control panel. You can also disable the Vsync by editing the ini file under My Documents\My Games\Capcom\RE4 then set it to read only otherwise it overwrites it every time you start the game. Personally, I think we got the short end of the stick again, the PS4 and Xbone versions and their textures look waayyy superior to the "HD" textures in the Ultimate HD version on PC. :/
Darien Goheen More than likely they spruced them up more as next-gen consoles are more mainstream and net them more money. But, the Xbox One version is basically the same (or should be, atleast) as the PC version, even when modding games on the Xbox 360, the files are in the same folder layout as their PC counterparts and often times even in the same file formats. So it would be almost no work on their end to give us those juicy HD textures. I also never saw if they reworked the menu, typewriter or pause screen textures as they're just filtered and upscaled from the original textures. Either way, it's bullshit we get the short end of the stick every time.
How did you record the Wii version? Through component on a real Wii, or through HDMI on the Wii U? I ask because I don't remember the Wii version being quite that dark, and I know recording it on HDMI desaturates the colors a bit.
6:09 Glad to see I'm not the only one who liked Wii/Cube version lighting, For whatever reason every other port since then has muted lighting / dim torches & flame effects..they really lowered the intensity ..it sounds trivial but pretty noticeable when comparing both side by side, especially when playing through nighttime levels.
I'm sorry guys I know you can't say the words, "better than the PC." So you have to find every little thing you can put in the win column but if you look at 1:54 and you think the picture on the right looks better and has better textures then please go see the eye doctor you can get your vision corrected to up to 20/10. Before you say anything I buy most of my games on PC and I go for whichever version is the better port, has more features, or better graphics etc (so for example Arkham Knight on PS4, Overwatch on PC). I have a 680, i7, blah blah blah (were new in 13 when purchased). I'm just realistic about these things and admitting that some games can have better versions on console is not going to bring the whole "PC master race" down. The sad thing is the whole "master race" thing started off as a joke but the more it goes on the more y'all act like supremacists. "PC ONLY NO EXCEPTIONS CONSOLES MUST BE PUT TO DEATH."
yes, the HD texture was turned off from the pc version,see min 3:04 (the wall behind leon) I did a quick comparison from this video with vs the pc hd texture on , the pc version look better more clear ,but the console version look more sharper , today I am going to buy the xbox one version , I missed the console feeling :)
That's not because of worse textures, that's blur from AA which (because this is PC) can be turned down or off entirely. That's the great thing about PC, if you don't like the way a setting looks it can be turned off.
Oldish comment but it looks to be both. He's using the FXAA for sure (do people really use that willingly?) postprocess and the original gamecube textures. Weird thing to do since he's trying to compare them, but hey PC gaming is all about choice (not power like people seem to always imply). Not sure why he doesn't just run the game on PC using a gamecube pad w/adapter, but who really knows.
I think this game looked far better on the Gamecube and Wii. I really don't like how 60FPS looks in a lot of these remasters. The smoothness takes me out of the experience, and the increased resolution and sharpness makes you notice how dated the textures are, not to mention the 30fps animations mixed in. Everything looks spot-on and uniform on the Gamecube/Wii, and the grain gave it atmosphere. The other versions just look too clean and sterile.
The smoothness takes you out of what experience? The experience of not having as smooth of a frame rate? Though I can agree with the rest, nothing beats a PS2/gamecube at its native resolution on a CRT screen.
I just want to make mention of some things that this video doesn't mention. For clarity's sake, I played the XBOX 360 and XBOX One ports for a direct comparison. The Ultimate HD Edition textures and 60FPS are aesthetically pleasing for sure, but there were performance hiccups that hampered my experience compared to the 2011 HD port. - Accelerated animations (the laser sight glitch obviously, but also items dropping down and particle effects like the water in jet ski sequence were 2x speed) - More difficult QTE sections (perhaps tied to the framerate?) - Some button priorities were out of whack, e.g. I couldn't skip text picking up an item while using the thumbstick to move and holding the run button on the XB1 (if you've used an old keyboard that can't detect more than two key presses at once, you know this feeling) - Enemy behaviour has also seems to have been altered in sections to be more inconvenient to the player (I noticed this in the Mine where you need dynamite to blow up a boulder) All of these screwed with my muscle memory and I took quite a while to work through them and actually finish the XB1 version. So it performs better on paper, but my estimation is the 2011 HD ports are still more stable and closer to how the OG GameCube version behaved .
Loved the opening. This being a game I revisit in some form around every third year or so it brought a smile on my face. I alternate between the GC version and the HD PC version these days myself and have not actually checked out the texture mod yet so thank you for the heads up.
It's been a decade and people still don't know it takes 7-8 incendiary grenades to kill Mendez on pro.. ;_; It's been a decade and people still don't know that flashbang instantly kills plagas... ;_; It's been a decade and people still don't know how to do the ditman glitch.. ;_; It's been a decade and people still don't know you can get broken butterfly for free.. ;_; It's been a decade and people still don't know how OP the knife really is.. ;_; It's been a decade and people still don't know they can kill crows with flashbangs for ez money.. ;_; *sigh* Shall I go on?
There was no point in this comment. Anybody and everybody I've known to play this game pretty much already knew about all that shit. It's not hard to figure out
For me personally I choose the Wii, absolutely love the control setup. Could never get into the game playing it with a traditional controller no matter which system, from GameCube too Xbox One.
baixei o resident evil 4 no meu ps4. Mas não consigo passar pra parte da igreja. Diz que tá baixando dados , e nunca termina. Alguém sabe o que devo fazer ?
I did the same! Started on PS2, and then went back for the Cube version. Eventually played the game on nearly every platform. I love that Demon's Souls avatar, too!
I'd like to see Capcom patch the PS4 version to include Pro Support. It would be interesting to see if they include the option to play the game in 4K 60FPS, and 1080P 60 FPS with anti-aliasing
Still aside of resolution the GC/Wii are the best versions. It has the best color palette and lightning and have bloom to the fire effects. th-cam.com/video/RRLQtgdG8Zs/w-d-xo.html So take a GC iso and play it on Dolphin emulator. Definitive experience. And one more notice. Unless you completely redone all models for higher count of polygons, avoid playing in HD. These games aren't suppose to play in HD. For me it is completely ok to play in 800x600 with antialiasing. Best visuals for me.
I had RE4 on the GameCube. It still looks impressive on the tiny purple box 13 years since release. Although it was ported to PS2, GameCube version was and is superior.
PS4 has the best version the graphics are excellent better then the PC version by watching this video. Huge Fan of Resident Evil 4 for life buy this game everyone highly recommended
You realize that the pc version shown in this video were on the original gamecube graphics setting right? There is no way physically possible for a game to look better on console than pc unless purposely made that way for some dumbass reason
I'm sorry guys, but the PC version's easily the best even without mods. It's great on PS4 and XOne but the shimmering textures and the lack of anti-aliasing make it look considerably worse than the PC version. Add the RE4 HD project to the mix and the game looks better than ever on PC.
2 VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!... Are the cutscenes real time or are they prerendered like the Ps2 version? And is the sound quality(such as the sound effects of guns) like the gamecube version or muffled like the Ps2 and Ps3 version?
The cutscenes are in real time clear 1080p :) except for the assignment of ada the cutscenes in that mode are super low quality 320p pre render scenes direct extract of the ps2 version And the sound quality is the same as gamecube
Why does the pc hd version looks so blurry? On the ps4 and xbox one I can see the textures on the Leon jacket, while on the pc 2014 edition and even on the hd project look so wash up. Is it because of the compression of the capture card or something else?
yes, the HD texture was turned off from the pc version,see min 3:04 (the wall behind leon) I did a quick comparison from this video vs the pc hd texture on , the pc version look better more clear ,but the console version look more sharper , today I am going to buy the xbox one version , I missed the console feeling :)
you recently did a video on what is a teraflop. can you do a video on V-sync. In every video I've seen, the V-sync is always turned off, if it's such a negative thing/setting, why do developers continue to support/offer it?
It's funny you posted this because I returned my GC version to get the PS4 version. No regrets, I am a big fan of the HD version and while the controls are more tedious, I would rather better quality and the replay value of Seperate Ways.
I just recently introduced a friend to the game for the first time and he absolutely loves it, I highly recommend the game. You are doing yourself a disservice by not playing this masterpiece
Yes, the game is nostalgic like one of the comments pointed out but that's not the reason most people keep coming back to it. The game is just a masterpiece in so many ways. It's everything you could want from in a video game all in one package. The game has puzzles that are hard but yet not annoying. Amazing story, great combat, memorable settings and very spooky atmospheres (rain, mist, silence) There is just so much variety. But where the game truly gets it right, which I believe is the real reason why people love it but don't know why, is it's pacing. The pacing of this game is unparalleled and always has you doing different and new things every chapter. I highly recommend you give this game a try for $20. Let me know if you're going to give this a try. It's always fun listening to people's first experience playing this game.
Thank you everyone for the answer. Appreciate it. Seems like an interesting and my type of game.. Big fan of spooky atmospheres, good story in games. I'm definitely giving this a try on PC... It's around $18 on steam in my region. Thanks again 98TheMichael, scottySEV MyPenguinsFly and Victor Alvarez.
There is really only one question here: why didn't Capcom just hire an external dev if they weren't going to properly remaster RE4?They could have gone with Vicarious Visions, Gameloft, Mass Media Games, Kaiko GmbH, HexaDrive, Deck Nine, or Sanzaru Games.
I know the PS2 version gets a lot of flack but, was very impressive to see that game make it to that console at all and mostly intact. It's the version I got to play and I liked what I played, of course years later the PS2/GC/Wii versions are all entirely obsolete....Really only interesting in the way that it's impressive to see the game push their respective systems to their limit.
@@KesterStudios I fail to see how they're not entirely obsolete? Remasters run at 60fps, have wide screen, better textures, better resolution. With the exception of "This is impressive for the time" I don't see the benefit. The Wii version has the different aiming scheme that I feel breaks the game, much like the alternate movement controls for RE:Remake & Zero. You get to be too accurate in RE4:Wii for all the slow moving dinguses. Even if you wanted to say the motion controls make it worth playing, we got RE4:VR now that's basically that version but better in every way since you're not 'pulling' your view around. You aim 1:1 since VR is vastly better to Wii's awkward aiming.
Thank you! when I would talk about the shimmering and anti aliasing I was noticing on my 4k TV and spare 1080P TV, friend and others would argue they didn't notice anything. Overall great feel on xb1 but since I'm kind of a videophile and audiophile the small things like this can catch me real quick and make me focus on it vs overall good quality
There is a guy that's been working on a texture mod for every little thing since early 2014 and he is just missing the last hour of the game or so but has a demo texture of the entire village section that it's beyond outstanding it's free also.
Being 16, everyone said that I wouldn't appreciate this game and what it has to offer. I ordered the PS4 version on amazon. For the first 5 minutes I thought I had made a mistake and could never use the controls, but with some practice I am now accustomed to them and feel that they add tension that would not be (as) present without them. I've been playing nonstop and haven't even thought about TOUCHING my bf1 and watch dogs 2 since I started. I can seriously reccomend this game to anyone looking to experience a replayable and unforgettable videogame that will raise your standards on all other videogames from then and on.
Started playing this masterpiece for the first time today on ps4. I went in worried because I wasn't into resident evil 1 ps4 but this is straight up incredible.
I’ve never had a GameCube so I don’t know how it’s like, but what is it with people preferring that version over the modern HD version? I’ve played it on PC and PS4 and I think it looks fine.
That is so weird. One of the users that ran into this problem said that it disappeared after moving through a couple areas. I was never able to replicate it and have no clue what is causing it. There has to be something triggering this bug. If you start a new game and pull out your weapon immediately, do you still have the bug?
I'm watching this in March 2023 now that the remake came out for PS5/Xbox X. I wasn't aware of the port for PS4 in 2016. I just purchased it and now that I've watched this video I'm slightly let down. Does anyone know if there were any updates that fix some of these bugs mentioned in the video?
I noticed the change in textures immediately, and I don't like the new ones, I was hoping for an option as well, such a shame, the motion blur, which I love in almost every other game was dissapointing too, it just didn't look right, I don't have the technical knowledge to explain, but thanks to DF I understand it wasn't just me going crazy :P The no antialising thing doesn't bother me at all. The fact that they changed the default control options annoys me a little, but at least you have the option there.

This is for Ps7? LoL
Featuring dante from the devil may cry series
Hahahahahaha
Featuring Frank West from Dead Rising
They should just remake from scratch now for ps5.
I'm gonna be honest...I'm playing RE4 for the first time in my life thanks to this port, 12 years after its release and now I understand the love for this game
Not perfect? Here comes the PS5 version then lol.
lol
And it will still be missing features
You mean ps4.5 Neo version, PS5 will be after it.
Probably a 3D port in 5k quality.
PS4 can't even make 1080p right and you want 5k? Dafaq

Easily the worst version of RE4.
PC kings would never mention it.
pc has tons of flaws but...... 10k res @500fps hurrr durrrr
+WolfSilver117 XD
The 2007 PC port is bad, but it's still far better than the Zeebo port.
The worst port of PC History.
Re4 has to be the most ported game ever in history
that's tetris
Gamecube, PS2, Wii, PS3, 360, PS4, XB1, PC, mobile... i think you're right lol.
*****
Wtf is a zeebo
*****
When i hear zeebo i think the episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark? with the clown in the haunted house feature at the amusement park
Sonic 1
The consoles managed to get 60fps on a decade old game, good jobs boys.
Yeah fantastic.
***** No, fuck you in Spanish!
Scorpio will run at 1440p 61 fps

Resident Evil 4 Re-milked
IMO
Mohamed GN IMO
so we want it on x-box one & ps4 is that a bad thing?
+Doc Brisk no, we want it but if you've seen how many times this game was ported, you too would find it unnecessary.
odd how they keep making "remakes "of RE4 yet I don't think they have ever done a real remaster of this game it still looks best on a gamecube in 480I on a tube TV
If they sacrificed anti-aliasing to ensure the frame rate, then they made the right decision, IMO
The PS4 and XB1 should be able to handle a version of AA on it. No mention of AF on this one.
***** True. Also, yeah the lack of texture filtering IS a weird decision, that function doesn't seem too costly most of the time
There is plenty of overhead to run some simple fxaa or even smaa to smooth things out some.
+Mic Nor Shhhhh dude, maybe if we stop mentioning fxaa people will forget its existence and it will finally die.
PS4 and Xbone are garbage, underpowered consoles. PS4 Neo and Project Scorpio prove that.
Man I love Digital Foundry but god damn these comments give me cancer 12 year old reddit people with the same recycled jokes over and over again
Just wait until Ps4 Neo and Project Scorpio are out.This is nothing compared to what we will witness :)))
I can relate, it can get so cancerous sometimes

That video doesn't show any remastered characters, they only did the locations then... thats why.
Is it just me or does the PS4 and Xbox One version look leagues better than the PC version? The textures are MUCH sharper.
Are you serious?
Actually, I agree
Xdium yeah, the things that stuck out to me the most were the jacket and the walls.
That's the lack of anti-aliasing. It may make it look a bit sharper initially in a video with side-by-side comparison as YT compression smashes anti-aliased textures, but the actual in-person viewing experience is much worse.

I would like to point out if you didn't know already, PS4 allows for key binds for controllers so you can swap R1 and L1 with R2 and L2 via accesibility settings on PS4.
Yes, that's actually a great point. I knew it was there but had completely forgotten. Thanks for the reminder!!

I know, this option on ps vita and ps4 has saved me, as i recently severed my thumb tendons and the top of my knuckle with a machete.
Did they fix the jinkity jankity dpad on the new x controller? Mine(x360) is so bad(has been since I bought it brand new) I can't play Dark Souls?
You know the guys at DF are people of culture when you hear the theme from Outbreak File 2. GG BOIS!
YES!! Damn, it brought a tear to my eye hearing that again...
On PS4 you can use the accessibility feature to assign any button function to any other button, so the thing with the shoulder buttons isnt an issue.
Exactly.
You can do that on Xbox One as well.
It's at least nice I can put the Run & Action buttons where they're SUPPOSED to be, but now the QTE's don't match up.
Why Capcom? Why ever since RE5 did you force me to undo 10 years of Survival Horror habit? Why?...You monsters...

Was about to post the same thing, but then I saw your comment :)
God I miss those Wii controls with this game. The PS4 has a sensor built into the controller why couldn't we have those Wii controls again :(
Princescyther yeah agree. even though the graphics aren't the best the Wii controlls are fantastic.
@@rkitchen69 Well the Wii version for a time was an upgrade over the original and PS2 and are very accurate to the original.
That would be awkward. The PS4 controller isn't shaped right to be used in the same way as Wii motion controls.
I'd prefer the shimmering over the AA blurring anyway.
Yeah I don't know why he didn't mention the enhanced details on Leon's jacket when compared to the very very blurry PC edition.
Fucking hell he's really jacking off onto his PC in this video isn't he? It's only RE4, this isn't a nice looking game by any stretch of the imagination.
Blurryness has always been a thing in the RE games so I'm okay with the blurry
but regardless it is down to personal preference
I'll take sharpness over softness ANY DAY.

Resident evil 4 was also on an obscure console called the Zeebo.
Which was the basis of the mobile version.

Wow even John recommends turning off Motion Blur....THE WORLD IS ENDING
How did you record the Wii version? Through component on a real Wii, or through HDMI on the Wii U? I ask because I don't remember the Wii version being quite that dark, and I know recording it on HDMI desaturates the colors a bit.
Ive bought this game 7 fucking times now.. Cant wait to rebuy it on PS5. RE4 never get old
Re 4 remake will be the most famous game ever
One of my favorite games of all time. Played this one a ton. Thanks for the motion blur tip!

yes, the HD texture was turned off from the pc version,see min 3:04 (the wall behind leon) I did a quick comparison from this video with vs the pc hd texture on , the pc version look better more clear ,but the console version look more sharper , today I am going to buy the xbox one version , I missed the console feeling :)
+Daniel Santana These kids are pretty dumb.
That's not because of worse textures, that's blur from AA which (because this is PC) can be turned down or off entirely. That's the great thing about PC, if you don't like the way a setting looks it can be turned off.
Oldish comment but it looks to be both. He's using the FXAA for sure (do people really use that willingly?) postprocess and the original gamecube textures. Weird thing to do since he's trying to compare them, but hey PC gaming is all about choice (not power like people seem to always imply).
Not sure why he doesn't just run the game on PC using a gamecube pad w/adapter, but who really knows.
brb guys i need my eyes checked i must be going blind from all the bullshit spewing out today
who is waiting for ps4.5 neo and xb scorpio remaster?
^^^^ The cancer of youtube are these replies
Wii is still the best version =)
The first version I played was the Wii version and pointing and aiming with the Wii remote is just perfect for this game.
Agreed. It was like the game was made for Wii controls.
agreed. ive owned resident evil on every console / pc included and the wii version is the best by far. worst graphics but best gameplay.
+scottySEV Absolutely, completely, utterly agree
Actually vanilla 2007 PC looks worst (not counting mobile port), PS2 at least has a smooth picture (sure, blurred but less pixelated than GCN/Wii).
I think this game looked far better on the Gamecube and Wii. I really don't like how 60FPS looks in a lot of these remasters. The smoothness takes me out of the experience, and the increased resolution and sharpness makes you notice how dated the textures are, not to mention the 30fps animations mixed in. Everything looks spot-on and uniform on the Gamecube/Wii, and the grain gave it atmosphere. The other versions just look too clean and sterile.
The smoothness takes you out of what experience? The experience of not having as smooth of a frame rate? Though I can agree with the rest, nothing beats a PS2/gamecube at its native resolution on a CRT screen.
Pc you can pick 30fps in the settings
Pc the texture pack mod l, has evolved a lot, including lighting fixes, 3d textures, lot more.
I just want to make mention of some things that this video doesn't mention. For clarity's sake, I played the XBOX 360 and XBOX One ports for a direct comparison. The Ultimate HD Edition textures and 60FPS are aesthetically pleasing for sure, but there were performance hiccups that hampered my experience compared to the 2011 HD port.
- Accelerated animations (the laser sight glitch obviously, but also items dropping down and particle effects like the water in jet ski sequence were 2x speed)
- More difficult QTE sections (perhaps tied to the framerate?)
- Some button priorities were out of whack, e.g. I couldn't skip text picking up an item while using the thumbstick to move and holding the run button on the XB1 (if you've used an old keyboard that can't detect more than two key presses at once, you know this feeling)
- Enemy behaviour has also seems to have been altered in sections to be more inconvenient to the player (I noticed this in the Mine
where you need dynamite to blow up a boulder)
All of these screwed with my muscle memory and I took quite a while to work through them and actually finish the XB1 version. So it performs better on paper, but my estimation is the 2011 HD ports are still more stable and closer to how the OG GameCube version behaved
.
Thank you Digital Foundry for using Outbreak's main theme. Nostalgia hit me hard.
Loved the opening. This being a game I revisit in some form around every third year or so it brought a smile on my face. I alternate between the GC version and the HD PC version these days myself and have not actually checked out the texture mod yet so thank you for the heads up.
It's been a decade and people still don't know it takes 7-8 incendiary grenades to kill Mendez on pro.. ;_;

It's been a decade and people still don't know they can kill crows with flashbangs for ez money.. ;_;
*sigh* Shall I go on?
Patrick Bateman Yes please.
Please Patrick, never shut up. These kinda things need to be heard.
Also it's been more than a decade and people still call the game's enemies "zombies"
There was no point in this comment.
Anybody and everybody I've known to play this game pretty much already knew about all that shit. It's not hard to figure out
Please be a better port than resi 5!
That Outbreak music
DigitalFoundry is getting such a good channel. Video quality is going higher. Gj guys.
For me personally I choose the Wii, absolutely love the control setup. Could never get into the game playing it with a traditional controller no matter which system, from GameCube too Xbox One.
The GC is by far the best controller for this game. The game was made and calibrated for the GC stick and it shows. Youre so dumb.
Wii/GCN versions are still the best for me, Just Finished the Wii version on a Sony BVM profissional Monitor and it looked gorgeous
So what about playing this on Dolphin Emulator, complete with a WiiU-GC controller adapter?
That'd be just about perfect, I think.
baixei o resident evil 4 no meu ps4. Mas não consigo passar pra parte da igreja. Diz que tá baixando dados , e nunca termina. Alguém sabe o que devo fazer ?
THAT OUTBREAK THEME 🙏🖤
You get points for featuring the RE3 save theme, one of my fav's :)
I LOVE RE4. I finished it on PS2 and I got the Gamecube, Wii, PS3, and the PC versions.
Why do you need all those versions?
I did the same! Started on PS2, and then went back for the Cube version. Eventually played the game on nearly every platform.
I love that Demon's Souls avatar, too!
Loved demon's souls played re4 on gc ps2 wii and ps4
Beat it on pc and gamecube. Time to play it for like the 5th time on ps4
Which game console objectively (as in specs wise) has the best graphics? The XO or PS4 version? It's hard to tell.
This lowly Nintendo fan is praying it comes out for NX...
That's because they put the Wii version on it
After 2 years your wish has been granted!
@@jewska Praise Jesus
Gamecube version was a masterpiece. Same thing with Resident Evil Remake. Very underrated console.
Capcom - "lets remake a game for two generations of consoles"
I'd like to see Capcom patch the PS4 version to include Pro Support. It would be interesting to see if they include the option to play the game in 4K 60FPS, and 1080P 60 FPS with anti-aliasing
Still aside of resolution the GC/Wii are the best versions. It has the best color palette and lightning and have bloom to the fire effects.
th-cam.com/video/RRLQtgdG8Zs/w-d-xo.html
So take a GC iso and play it on Dolphin emulator. Definitive experience.
And one more notice. Unless you completely redone all models for higher count of polygons, avoid playing in HD. These games aren't suppose to play in HD. For me it is completely ok to play in 800x600 with antialiasing. Best visuals for me.
I had RE4 on the GameCube. It still looks impressive on the tiny purple box 13 years since release. Although it was ported to PS2, GameCube version was and is superior.
Here is my help what version you should get.
On the console you like the most, there is no wrong console when it goes with RE4.
You thank me later
Please make an updated version of this comparing the 2023 version :D
PS4 has the best version the graphics are excellent better then the PC version by watching this video. Huge Fan of Resident Evil 4 for life buy this game everyone highly recommended
You realize that the pc version shown in this video were on the original gamecube graphics setting right? There is no way physically possible for a game to look better on console than pc unless purposely made that way for some dumbass reason
+Jodeth The PC version doesn't even have 4K available, boy.
Resident Evil 4 sucks. That's where Resident Evil lost it's way.
I'm sorry guys, but the PC version's easily the best even without mods. It's great on PS4 and XOne but the shimmering textures and the lack of anti-aliasing make it look considerably worse than the PC version. Add the RE4 HD project to the mix and the game looks better than ever on PC.
Robson Calverley Still a fanboy even when both the XONE and PS4 are the exact same ok lmao
2 VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!...
Are the cutscenes real time or are they prerendered like the Ps2 version?
And is the sound quality(such as the sound effects of guns) like the gamecube version or muffled like the Ps2 and Ps3 version?
The cutscenes are in real time clear 1080p :) except for the assignment of ada the cutscenes in that mode are super low quality 320p pre render scenes direct extract of the ps2 version
And the sound quality is the same as gamecube
Forza Horizon frame rate test please
It seems that it runs bad :/
30fps (-1).
abood bk We talk about the BC version here, of Forza Horizon, which runs at 30fps, but there are many drops on the BC version.
Why does the pc hd version looks so blurry? On the ps4 and xbox one I can see the textures on the Leon jacket, while on the pc 2014 edition and even on the hd project look so wash up. Is it because of the compression of the capture card or something else?
Best game ever made
lol it sucked
Which OST starts to play at ~1:20 and plays through-out the rest of the video?
Porting the PC variant to shit consoles in the search for more money! Shocker!!!
Hoho, Outbreak theme? Good choice :3
Also a strange remix of the RE3 save theme (Free from Fear)? Huh. Where's that one from -_-
RE outbreak music
The only thing about the 60fps in impossible difficulty you have to mush the square button twice fsster to escape salazar statue
lol current gen cant even handle 1080p(with antialiasing) 60fps
Android Guy dont be silly
It's not well optimised! Capcom isn't the best at that is it!!! XD
Android Guy uh this game is running at 1080p60fps on current consoles what shit are you on about
what controller layout is most like gamecubes? layout 1 2 or 3..this is for xbox one
PS4 wins. RIP PC and Xbox One.
+Kyo Kusanagi GameCube is worse than Dreamcast
Gr8 b8 m8
Sonykid =ultra shit.
ps4 wins ? search on youtube resident evil 4 hd project then you mitgh wanna change your comment ;)
He's a troll, ignore him.
isn't there an iOS or an APK of that game??
Anyone had a problem with running? My character just stops and jitters when I'm speedrunning.
Damn you for that Outbreak file #2 sound track in the background. That nostalgia hit way too hard
yes, the HD texture was turned off from the pc version,see min 3:04 (the wall behind leon) I did a quick comparison from this video vs the pc hd texture on , the pc version look better more clear ,but the console version look more sharper , today I am going to buy the xbox one version , I missed the console feeling :)
you recently did a video on what is a teraflop. can you do a video on V-sync. In every video I've seen, the V-sync is always turned off, if it's such a negative thing/setting, why do developers continue to support/offer it?
Where these aim bugs fixed? I already have the PS3 version. Is it worth to get the PS4 version?
@ 5:00 mark what are u talking about you can use L2 and R2 on the PS4 version by default it doesn't force you to use L1 or R1?
Nice video, love the use of the music from the Resident Evil Outbreak OP
I was so looking forward to this video, amazing work John
Just a question, no God Eater 2 PC/PS4 video?
which is better... PC HD Ultimate or PS4?
It's funny you posted this because I returned my GC version to get the PS4 version. No regrets, I am a big fan of the HD version and while the controls are more tedious, I would rather better quality and the replay value of Seperate Ways.
I have a question, the ps3 version runs at 720p or at 1080p? and what's it's framerate?
720p,30 fps
+Michael Williams Thx mate
I've never played RE4 before... Is it worth picking up now?
For many players, it's a nostalgic feel. It's an amazing game to me but it's really not that good of a game in general
If you can find it for a low price I definitely recommend. It was the first RE game I played and I've played through it a good 20 times lol
I just recently introduced a friend to the game for the first time and he absolutely loves it, I highly recommend the game. You are doing yourself a disservice by not playing this masterpiece
Yes, the game is nostalgic like one of the comments pointed out but that's not the reason most people keep coming back to it. The game is just a masterpiece in so many ways. It's everything you could want from in a video game all in one package.
The game has puzzles that are hard but yet not annoying. Amazing story, great combat, memorable settings and very spooky atmospheres (rain, mist, silence) There is just so much variety. But where the game truly gets it right, which I believe is the real reason why people love it but don't know why, is it's pacing. The pacing of this game is unparalleled and always has you doing different and new things every chapter. I highly recommend you give this game a try for $20. Let me know if you're going to give this a try. It's always fun listening to people's first experience playing this game.
Thank you everyone for the answer. Appreciate it. Seems like an interesting and my type of game.. Big fan of spooky atmospheres, good story in games. I'm definitely giving this a try on PC... It's around $18 on steam in my region. Thanks again 98TheMichael, scottySEV MyPenguinsFly and Victor Alvarez.
There is really only one question here: why didn't Capcom just hire an external dev if they weren't going to properly remaster RE4?They could have gone with Vicarious Visions, Gameloft, Mass Media Games, Kaiko GmbH, HexaDrive, Deck Nine, or Sanzaru Games.
Thanks for using the music from Resident Evil Outbreak. Never gets old.
legendary intro from John
I know the PS2 version gets a lot of flack but, was very impressive to see that game make it to that console at all and mostly intact. It's the version I got to play and I liked what I played, of course years later the PS2/GC/Wii versions are all entirely obsolete....Really only interesting in the way that it's impressive to see the game push their respective systems to their limit.
Ehh I wouldnt call the ps2/wii/gcn versions entirely obsolete. There is still value in playing them especially the wii version.
@@KesterStudios I fail to see how they're not entirely obsolete?
Remasters run at 60fps, have wide screen, better textures, better resolution.
With the exception of "This is impressive for the time" I don't see the benefit.
The Wii version has the different aiming scheme that I feel breaks the game, much like the alternate movement controls for RE:Remake & Zero.
You get to be too accurate in RE4:Wii for all the slow moving dinguses.
Even if you wanted to say the motion controls make it worth playing, we got RE4:VR now that's basically that version but better in every way since you're not 'pulling' your view around. You aim 1:1 since VR is vastly better to Wii's awkward aiming.
Thank you! when I would talk about the shimmering and anti aliasing I was noticing on my 4k TV and spare 1080P TV, friend and others would argue they didn't notice anything. Overall great feel on xb1 but since I'm kind of a videophile and audiophile the small things like this can catch me real quick and make me focus on it vs overall good quality
My favorite is still the Wii version, comes complete with the content from the PS2 port but with the Gamecube visuals.
Excellent video as always guys.
that was a great history lesson on the RE4 releases at the start of the video. thank you for that.
Wii 30fps ??????
these comparisons are very interesting. good work
I hope the Nintendo Switch version has the classic Gamecube control lay out like the X-box version.
It better have a motion control option as well
There is a guy that's been working on a texture mod for every little thing since early 2014 and he is just missing the last hour of the game or so but has a demo texture of the entire village section that it's beyond outstanding it's free also.
Being 16, everyone said that I wouldn't appreciate this game and what it has to offer. I ordered the PS4 version on amazon. For the first 5 minutes I thought I had made a mistake and could never use the controls, but with some practice I am now accustomed to them and feel that they add tension that would not be (as) present without them. I've been playing nonstop and haven't even thought about TOUCHING my bf1 and watch dogs 2 since I started. I can seriously reccomend this game to anyone looking to experience a replayable and unforgettable videogame that will raise your standards on all other videogames from then and on.
Started playing this masterpiece for the first time today on ps4. I went in worried because I wasn't into resident evil 1 ps4 but this is straight up incredible.
Is it worth getting this for my ps4 if i already have the HD version on my xbox 360?
I’ve never had a GameCube so I don’t know how it’s like, but what is it with people preferring that version over the modern HD version? I’ve played it on PC and PS4 and I think it looks fine.
So wait... You CAN'T change the controller layout on the PS4 version? Only the One?
How do we fix that accelerated animation when aiming? I am being affected by it and is preventing me from shooting hints far away.
That is so weird. One of the users that ran into this problem said that it disappeared after moving through a couple areas. I was never able to replicate it and have no clue what is causing it. There has to be something triggering this bug. If you start a new game and pull out your weapon immediately, do you still have the bug?
I got the bug since beginning too.
I'm watching this in March 2023 now that the remake came out for PS5/Xbox X. I wasn't aware of the port for PS4 in 2016. I just purchased it and now that I've watched this video I'm slightly let down. Does anyone know if there were any updates that fix some of these bugs mentioned in the video?
I noticed the change in textures immediately, and I don't like the new ones, I was hoping for an option as well, such a shame, the motion blur, which I love in almost every other game was dissapointing too, it just didn't look right, I don't have the technical knowledge to explain, but thanks to DF I understand it wasn't just me going crazy :P
The no antialising thing doesn't bother me at all. The fact that they changed the default control options annoys me a little, but at least you have the option there.
The song in the beginning of the review really makes me want to play Resident Evil Outbreak 1 & 2. What a great atmosphere.
