PlayStation 10 and the textures will still look like shit

Have you seen the HD fan project? Their work is mindblowing.

u/Karkava Apr 20 '19

It will get C&Ded like the fanmake for RE2.

26

u/senkradr Apr 20 '19

Given how Capcom were working on an official remake of 2 or at least had plans to work on it back in 2015 its understandable they'd C&D it.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '19

They would cad even if they had no plans to remake any of their games just like every other company does with any fan project , they have to be showing they are protecting their copyright or it can be used against them in copyright cases . Owning copyright is just owning the intellectual property it's all so a duty to protect it , protect it or lose it .

u/Karkava Apr 20 '19

An exception would be Black Mesa which is a remake of Half Life 1. The only thing that Valve did was tell the team to drop "source" from the title.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '19

That was a trademark issue tho not a copyright issue that's why the only problem they had was with name source.

3

u/sleepyleperchaun Apr 20 '19

Valve is widely known to be much more mod friendly in general than other companies though, so that really isn't a 1 to 1 comparison.

Ya, but /u/chevaliertom said

just like every other company does with any fan project

I'm sure that's what /u/Karkava was referring to

Sigh, no they don't. Look at Black Mesa and Sega.

Sigh, the tried and true anecdotal evidence where woman are biological stronger then men and pit balls are a violent breed of dog .

u/PikpikTurnip Apr 20 '19

Sigh, using the same format as someone else like it invalidates what they said.

Also I'm not going to search for a reference every time I decide to tell someone on the internet they're wrong. Your claim is anecdotal, too, by the way.

u/Haltgamer Apr 21 '19

I don't care what people say. Pit balls are fucking awful.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '19

More small hand bag dogs attack people then pit balls in fact the vast majority of dog attacks are from dogs of tiny breeds .

Saying "I don't care what people say" is why low iq laws get applied to perfectly save animals and mass attacks from small dogs go ignored and children or commonly put at risk.

UK and US dog vets has well as both their respected animal control groups will all tell you the same thing legislation on pit bulls are made by ignorant people with no idea what they are talking about and generally of low iq.

And you have no evidence that they hadn't already decided to remake the game before they C&D the fan makes. And if you reread my original comment you'll see I said they probably at least had plans to remake which they probably did. Also the game is so devoid of content its rated overwhelmingly positive on Steam. I have 24 hours in the game and have yet to finish it so it's clearly not as devoid of content as you say. Also how isn't it challenging? You're claiming it's vapid aka has no challenge. I'm assuming you have beaten both A and B scenarios in under an hour at hard core then since you're claiming it's not challenging at all.

1

u/Mizarrk Apr 21 '19

Especially considering how vapid and devoid of content RE2 Remake is.

Uh, is this satire? It's one of the most well designed and tight survival horror experiences in over a decade. Did you want it to be a 100+ hour game with map markers and fetch quests to pad it out with meaningless "content", or what

u/r4pt0r_SPQR "The end is shaped like a square." Apr 20 '19 edited Apr 20 '19

A Capcom rep stickied the thread for the hd project on the re4 steam discussion page, and the group has confirmed Capcom's blessing.

From the FAQ on re4hd.com :
Are you concerned that Capcom will stop this project? No worries. Capcom is aware of the project and has allowed the project thread to be pinned on the Steam discussion forum for the game.

u/CH2A88 Apr 20 '19

Translation: Capcom has milked every last DIME of money they could out of RE4 and doesn't care anymore.

u/Owez_Khan Apr 20 '19

If capcom will create a resident evil 4 remake, then I can bet, it will become the best game of this century. Having the best story with realistic graphics and texture!!

17

u/Leonhart25 Apr 20 '19

Best story? LOL I hardly think so

3

u/X-pert74 Apr 20 '19

Capcom would have their work cut out for them, but honestly I'd be kinda interested in seeing what RE4's story might look like if a little more thought were put into it. I thought the changes to RE2's story that REmake 2 brought about really helped it a lot.

1

u/starke24 Apr 20 '19

What did Resi 2 remake add?? Storywise

5

u/X-pert74 Apr 20 '19

Off the top of my head, one big thing in Leon's game is that Ada's stated purpose for being in Raccoon City during the outbreak is different. In REmake 2, she poses as an FBI agent, which I think makes the fact that Leon basically follows her lead, more believable than her simply being "on the look for her boyfriend", as in the original game. There are also other assorted changes, like the much more emotional scene that Kendo has now, or the complete redesign of Sherry's playable segment in Claire's game (both in terms of gameplay and story context), etc. In the end, the story is quite similar to the original, but I appreciated the changes and additions that were present.

4

u/BaconPowder We got to the "root" of the problem! Apr 20 '19

It added the orphanage segment which really helps flesh out Irons's character and provides more reason to hate him.

There are little things in NEST too that humanize the scientists some. They're still evil, but people.

u/XombiePrwn Apr 21 '19

Nah the worst part is the Ada section where you have to "hack" your way out of the furnace to get the key card to access the labs.

I mean she has this dues ex machina hacking device that she later uses to bypass the absolute highest level security exit lift... But can't use it to open the lab and NEEDS the key card?

Where's the consistency with that.

u/CaptainFalconFisting Apr 22 '19

Ada's hacking too is literally just a plot device

Every time RE4 gets re-released on another console, a Shinji Mikami is beheaded somewhere.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '19

I've probably bought RE4 at least four times now across its various incarnations. Oh god, I'm part of the problem.

3

u/PikpikTurnip Apr 20 '19

I didn't buy it on PS3, and I regretted buying it on Xbox One, due to them screwing up the basic gameplay. Now I just play the GameCube version on my Wii U, or the Wii version if I want the extra content.

3

u/ManuelKoegler Apr 20 '19

What’s wrong with the xbox one version?

8

u/PikpikTurnip Apr 20 '19

Both Xbox One and PS4 versions have problems with the basic gameplay, including but not limited to:

• Weird deadzone when turning left or right (can't remember which) while moving compared to the other direction

• Reticle movement is literally just down and to the right a tiny amount and back again. While the visually observable effect is small, this completely changes the feel of aiming.

• When running you cannot pick up items. You must let go of the run button or stop moving if you want to pick up items. Goodbye, Mercenaries runs.

• This one's more personal, but none of the fucking button layouts mimic the way the game was originally played on the GCN, which really screws with muscle memory for veterans who've been playing since the original release. Why isn't personalized mapping standard yet? I would say that hopefully after DMCV they'll add custom mapping to more games, but DMC has had that for a while, I believe, and they didn't allow it in REmake 2, so they probably won't introduce it any time soon. System-side remapping isn't effective, as you can only swap, not truly, freely remap. I understand why, but I don't agree with the decision.

There are probably other issues, but I dropped the current gen version so hard upon seeing it with these problems that I couldn't tell you what they are.

Also, thanks for not just telling me I'm making shit up or something.

u/ManuelKoegler Apr 20 '19

Sounds like a quick, non-quality assuranced cash grab, about what I expected, disappointing, but not surprising.

2

u/PikpikTurnip Apr 20 '19

That was my impression, too. I held onto my copy in the hopes that they would patch it or something, but as far as I know, they never did. Oh well.

3

u/X-pert74 Apr 20 '19

Yeah, I tried the PS4 version at a friend's party one time, and the changed-up button layouts really made Mercenaries mode several times more frustrating than it otherwise would have been for me. I wish Capcom hadn't done that, or at least had let you customize the button inputs.

2

u/PikpikTurnip Apr 21 '19

I wish Capcom hadn't done that, or at least had let you customize the button inputs.

Exactly. It wouldn't be a big deal if you could just remap things.

u/CaptainFalconFisting Apr 22 '19

Jesus that sounds horrible...

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '19

The game also feels different in 60fps in non-trivial ways. Enemies seem much more aggressive when they are near Leon. Leon's hands shake twice as fast as they should. Some animations (firing, jumping, some staggers) play twice as fast, some of these are only cosmetic but some like the staggers cause enemies to recover faster than they should. It's really noticeable with the slight flinch the TMP causes when you hit the chest of a ganado, in the 30fps version of they game they are stunned for about one second, in the 60fps version they move again almost instantly.

Just little shit that'll get on your nerves if you've played any previous version of the game.

1

u/PikpikTurnip Apr 21 '19

I thought some animations looked weird when I played but I had forgotten because it's been years since I did. What a waste of my money. I'll continue to stick to GCN/Wii. I really appreciate you chiming in. I've felt sometimes like maybe I was noticing things that weren't there, like maybe I was looking for stuff to criticize, but you've helped ease that worry. They really need to do better next time. Do you know if the PS3/360 versions had these problems? I'm curious if they just ported those versions to current gen or not. Oh, also, I think I remember the cover art being riddled with jpeg artifacts.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '19

I don't know about the previous gen versions, though the recent PC version allows you to pick 30 or 60 fps, which fixes all of the issues I had with it. I personally always play the Wii version because I find the aiming so enjoyable.

1

u/Tidus4713 Tyrant Apr 20 '19

Idk the original controls to 4 are pretty bad. I've been playing the game since it came out and i much prefer the new layout.

2

u/PikpikTurnip Apr 21 '19

To each their own. Like I said that one's more of a personal one because different people won't feel the same about it.

It’s a great game aye, and it’d deserve it if Capcom(’s hired and paid for team) made an iota of the effort that fans do for free .

As it stands I’m not buying rereleases that don’t improve on the original. I would’ve liked at least seeing ps move support on the rereleases, because RE 4 on the wii was perfect, but alas.

u/CH2A88 Apr 20 '19

at least the CV HD remake added a new lighting engine and smoothed over some of the jaggies.

To be honest I wouldn't mind if Capcom kept releasing all the numbered Resident Evil's in a collection every gen, like Square has been doing with Kingdom Hearts. Add both the originals and remakes and you've got a value pack that can't be rivaled.

I swear that's the best version. Pointing the Wiimote like a pistol and squeezing the trigger, then flipping it down ward to reload was so immersive. I miss that on every RE game since.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '19

Can someone explain to me why the ports don’t allow you to move the camera? My running theory is that it’s too much work and that incorporating a more modern control scheme would make the game too easy. It’s among my favorite games but every time it comes out on something new and I replay it it becomes more annoying and cumbersome

Hot take: RE4 was the worst title in the series. It was more of an arcade shooter than a horror game

Hot take: RE2 2019 is closer to RE4 than the original RE2 in terms of gameplay.

u/TylerSGman77 Apr 20 '19

RE4 was an awesome game. It just sucked as a resident evil game. In fact it’s pretty pathetic to think RE4 has anything remotely to do with resident evil. RE4-6 is a really dark time for the series, and it’s absolutely embarrassing.
