RE2 looks more realistic.

[TheRat62]

Feels like RE2 remake was going for more of a completely realistic graphical style whereas RE4 is going for more of an animated movie style. Character model proportions and such are slightly cartoony this time around.

RE4 original felt like capcom was doing its best to make RE4 look as realistic as the hardware at that time would allow them to make it look and the graphics were very impressive and realistic for their time.

I don’t get that same feeling from the RE4 remake this time around.

Not a complaint per say but more of an observation.

Anybody else notice this ?

even if re2 paid more attention to detail I think RE4 looks prettier not to mention this game will give us soooo many places I think it will be waste of time if capcom want to perfect every location + the size is already 89 GB.

This and yeah the game would be bloated if you tried to make everything "realistic" instead I can appreciate "believable" since you can see the freaking winkles on enemies.

Maybe because you've been playing games that already look great? When RE4 original came out it pushed the envelope because it could. Went from RE3 on PS1 to RE4 on GC with like 5 or 6 years in-between. Of course it looked significantly better.
Harder to do now. Especially since we've had multiple modern RE games from the same engine in the last few years.
That whole phenomenon is gone forever. It's not just a franchise issue. People are on all different GPU's, 2 different console generations. There will never be those large gaps in advancement that take your breath away again. The game industry as a whole is not set up that way anymore.

I agree. Disappointing that they wouldn’t set the bar for new games to push graphics on the most powerful hardware of the time… and then leave everybody options to scale back the graphics to run well with whatever hardware they have.

Re4 remake is not a bad looking game by any means but I just wish they stuck with the more realistic like like style that they started with RE2 remake. The whole art style is a little bit more cartoony and exaggerated this time around.

They DO build games to push the hardware of the time and give options to scale back. Right now it's raytracing. It's a very significant improvement. Depending on your hardware it changes everything. Then depending on your VRAM you increase the texture size. Not to mention all the other settings like shadows and reflections, etc. On PC of course. Consoles have less scaling options.

They did stick with the realism they started with RE2R. It seemed more realistic and there was that wow factor because it was the 1st remake you saw in that way. Now we've had the 3 remake and Village in the same RE engine and they all looked pretty similar.
This is also a different game, with a different mood thats reflected alot through the lighting and pacing. The environments themselves are too different to keep the consistency you're talking about. One game-RE2R- takes place mainly in 1 building and only at night. The other game-RE4R- is largely outside through day and night cycles.
And if you recall, those differences in mood and lighting were in those original games too. RE4 was action, so yeah it felt more cartoony than RE2. RE2's theme was desperation, RE4's theme was redemption.

If they we’re building games for the highest hardware we’d be getting games that are in line with pc exclusives from the past that push hardware to its limits but allow the player to dial the graphics way back to make them playable on weaker hardware and consoles.

Now they make games that only need a slight downgrade in quality from pc to be able to run on consoles.

They don’t push any hardware as hard as they used to.

All I want is headshot zombies, ♥♥♥♥ up Salazar and Adler. It's a video game, who tf cares about realism?
