Some observations after finishing the game.

-Tons of light leaks everywhere. Even on Leon's face. on his eyelids and lips, looks weird af.
-Some places tend to be too dark because of ssao
-Small objects don't cast shadows.
-Screen space reflections are so terrible that game looks better without them.
-Some shadows have a weird grainy look it also looks terrible.
-Game's own TAA and upscaling solutions suck, you either get shimmering or a blurry look

Overall, game is a bit disappointing on the visual aspect. Don't get me wrong, devs have nailed that atmospheric look while keeping in touch with original. But as much as the environmental design looks incredible it sometimes hurts my eyes because of all the issues.

Not seen any bad graphics yet.

graphics look fine to me, gameplay is far more important that graphics anyways

I think overal the game looks worse and generic. And that's got nothing to do with personal preference. I know eye candy when I see it. The environments don't have the unique feel to them like the original. The architecture isn't the same. Capcom also seems to favor lighting and fog consistency over aesthetic beauty. In the original the artists clearly knew how to create color harmony by using opposites in color. There was also a beloved effect that seems to be missing entirely from looking at playthroughs on YouTube.
The subtle light glow effects that overlap characters from (merchant/normal) candles. Creating this foggyness and contrast between warm and cold hues.
But the main issue to me stands where they felt the need to change location's architecture. The OG nailed it, this one, not.

"The game looks worse and generic"
"The architecture isn't the same"

So 2nd quote goes against first quote, you also don;t own the game, expected as much backward logic.

So in order to criticise a painting, I have to buy it and take it home with me? I can't criticise the game when watching YouTube playthrough in 4K. That is backward logic.

If you are interested in what I mean with that comment, I'm willing to show examples of the OG sometime later. Otherwise, feel free to ignore my comment and criticism. I think it's funny though. Tripple A studios keep aiming for realism but it's clearly hurting the overal aesthetic. Whether it's lighting, fog and color in the environments.

No clue in what world RE4 relates to anything realistic.

You can criticise but you are not objective, it's your own subject taste.

I've played RE2,RE3 remakes, and RE7 and Village, and I would say that the problem with RE4 is that the engine is not exactly made for this kind of semi-open world thingy they have decided to go with, most of it gets smeared out except Leon. Also forests are a no no,that's why things looks really nice indoors. I got to admit that the cows and pigs looks like a game from xbox360.

[maul]

No, they definitely aren't.

The art appreciation is one of the most 'personal preference' thing.

'No clue in what world RE4 relates to anything realistic.'
Exactly. That's my point. They aim for realistic faces, animations, lighting ect. Yet they don't leave any space to divert from what looks realistic in terms of lighting.

Ha. You're wrong. The criticism I have is very much objective and comparing technical aspects of a game's color use and lighting.

Errr no you are completely in your own head and feelings, you may find people who agree with you but that's because their subjective tastes line up with yours, literally not objective at all, not a universal truth.

Take it however you want. I feel no need to explain it to you. :)

lol all max setting apart from shadows and textures, 4k quality FSR on a 3070, what you smoking?

I bought both consoles and sent them back, they never look like PC graphics, they are stripped down in more way than one.
