Backspace.

Press "Backspace" to move the item, press "Enter" to place the item, and use "Page Up/Down" to rotate the item.

Ports from console to PC have been frequently awful since for ever. In the past couple years, it's started to change. and most ports I come across these days are quite good, particularly if the game itself was developed within the last few years. Older games being shat out as 'remasters' are still hit or miss.

Now, why are they getting good votes? Well, far as I know the keyboard controls are rebindable, there are mods that address some other KB/M concerns, and as the game was designed for a gamepad, I imagine most people upvoting are utilising one of more of these things to have a good experience with a game from 2005.

Me personally, I use a gamepad. The game was designed for one and aiming feels great with one. I prefer a mouse in a game with pure shooter mechanics, but generally use a gamepad for games like this.

Anyway, I remember having a fine time playing RE7 with keyboard and mouse, and if anything odds are a newer RE game would do it even better. I don't think this game needs a remake, but if you are interested in it, I imagine the PC version of that will be much, much better than this port.

Edit: Oh, you posted in a thread from 2014.

Why is that?
Graphics are dated, controls are dated, huge font size is dated, etc.

I don't think everything has to play the same not to be dated. What is 'dated', really?

I don't care about graphics. At all. I hate graphics. Art style is important. Graphical fidelity on the other hand is a farce that takes massive resources which could be better served expanding gameplay or in some games story, as many game designers have lamented the industry not doing (Warren Spector notable among them). That said, the game looks fantastic with the RE4 HD Project installed.

Game controls perfectly fine. I don't mind the modern dual-stick whatever that every single game uses nowadays, but it's not special. RE4 feels like RE4. The only other game that feels in any way like RE4 is RE5, because it used RE4's entire gameplay design as a foundation. Nothing else feels like this, and it's special. It's not dated, because nothing else ever felt like RE4 and RE5. So it's not representative of some time period where games felt like this, because they didn't. It's just its own game feel and it will be dismantled in a remake.

Font size doesn't bother me, either. Pretty sure you can mod it anyway. Think I remember an option for it in RE4 Tweaks.

Edit: I think the easiest explanation is that in my opinion, this game and RE5 both remain immensely more enjoyable than any RE game that came after them. If you don't agree, then enjoy the RE4 remake, as I hope to do as well, though I don't doubt it will remain an addition to my collection rather than a replacement for an old favourite.

Thank you for the in-depth answer, it was interesting to read your take.
Of course it's special, its features that are no longer present these days are kinda charming. I had a great time with the game after the fan-fix, but didn't feel the need to install HD Project as I was not particularly impressed by its trailer and issues like animeish body proportions are still there anyway. The fact that this game requires so many fan fixes is really telling that it needs to be updated for the modern times. I think that the game would look great on RE Engine, but they would probably have to sacrifice a lot of areas.
I agree with you about Remakes not replacing the original. I still thank that OG RE1-3 are absolutely worth playing.

when the game first launched everyone who bought and played it should have voted thumbs down. the only language these ppl understand is putting every broken sh1it port on at least negative so that they start patching and fixing.

of course it sits at mostly positive and capcom does what bugthesda did for years: not giving a fu4ck and letting other ppl fix their games.

re4 is a game that i can finally enjoy with the hd mod and fov fix and it will get a negative rating from me no matter what.

[Sm0k3f47h3r]

When you do that your briefcase gets bigger automatically.

I agree with you, that's why my Steam review is negative. It's not a good port. Many people are only able to play it thanks to the fans who fixed it.

[Sm0k3f47h3r]

sry, to say but i does not. i bought already two improvements and the on screen space stays the same.
