Resident Evil 4 on Steam is garbage compared to the PS4 version.

[Kuma]

Before the PC community starts raging at me, I am an hardcore PC gamer who plays EVERYTHING on PC, the only reason why I own a PS4 and a Switch is because of exclusive games such as God of War, Uncharted, Zelda, etc. But I do buy triple AAA games on consoles just to compare it to the PC port.

Steam summer sales hit, and I decided to buy all the resident evil titles and the moment I launched re4 I already knew something was wrong, just looking at the Leon's name on the bottom right corner you can tell this is NOT TRUE HD 1080p, at least not when comparing to the PS4 version. I still thought I was going crazy, so I decided to boot up re4 on PS4 and compare them side by side and PS4 looks and runs much better surprisingly. I will list the issues below:

re4 PC / Steam issues:

- Doesn't look true HD, the game looks blurry compared to PS4;

- Mouse and Keyboard sucks ( obviously ) but even using the Xbox controller, I still can't aim with the right stick like the PS4 version;

- Lack of 144hz option, game is locked at 60 FPS;

- Input lag. No vsync option. Yes I can turn off vsync on my graphic card settings, but it causes MASSIVE screen tearing on this game and If I leave vsync on I get input lag;

- Color pallet on the steam version looks too "dull" compared to PS4;

Anyone else feel this way about this PC port? How could they ruin this port for PC when all the other Resident evil titles seem to be running fine? I wanted to play this on PC so bad.

I don't own a PS4, but I do agree that the contols suck! Why no "Straff Left or Right"? I like the game. The controls should have been upddated for computer use.

V-sync on almost all games give me Input Lag. I dunno if it's my monitor that's causing this but I typically leave it off (But then also cap FPS manually with rivatuner if the game otherwise won't let me)

I actually reccomend playing RE4 on 30fps. 60FPS can result in bugs like QTE's being too hard or enemies moving too quickly.

Strafing wasn’t in the original either so that isn’t an issue with the PC version.

No, because strafing isn’t a PC exclusive mechanic xD. If it wasn’t added to other versions, then there is no reason it would be added only on PC.

OMG!

about blurry... did u turn off the blur setting?))

[MrNosec]

.... Please inform yourself before you make such useless threads :/
This version is the definitive way to play RE4, best graphics and best controls, the mouse & keyboard actually makes the game too easy due to how precise it is, just change "Aiming Mode" to "Modern" lol https://youtu.be/RRLQtgdG8Zs?t=88

well its kind of true though the only thing you did was come on here and complain about it when all you needed to do was refund it if you didn't like what was going on with the cpu version.

Still a better port than Ubisoft's. That's all that matters

You're just bad. working perfectly at 60.

Yes you can, control type III. I prefer II myself.

As far as input lag, I haven't seen any, but I use a PS3 controller. The QTEs are just as bs as I remember. I've had stutter at certain points, but no more than any other game that "hiccups" on a large file load or decompress for use. I run 1600x900 so graphics look fine to me. Better than the PS2 and GC versions which are what I had before. I don't own a PS4 so can't compare. It's comprable to ps3. I've noticed maybe one or two cutscenes that were clearly not upscaled, but they're short, and optional ones. (seeing the other local cop thrown in the lake for the monster being one of them).

Resident Evil 4 on steam is garbage compared to the Wii version. In terms of control, framerate, hd textures mixed with sd, some animations still capped to 30fps, etc.
This port is unfinished and broken in some ways, and if someone don't agree with that - he have some issues.

the only thing , the wii version did well was the control options......., and keep the game effects intact , like specular, bloom, lens flares, and color palette , everything else is old, and this steam version vanilla stay behind wii ,only, beacuse the effects were, very broken ,BUT with hd project is so much more , beyond anyone can imagine inclusive the capcom itself it will be the best version ever , better than the playstation 7 MegaRemasterRemakeRebotedNoSenseUltraLeonPonyTail that will come in 2030 ...and you will have to have steam, to play it. =_=
