The stupidity I am seeing in response to the announcement of an RE5 PC port is staggering. It's seriously giving me an aneurysm. Everyone, bloggers and commenters alike, are claiming that RE4 had some horrible PC port. Everyone falling in line, systematically bashing that which they know nothing about.

Let's sum of the general public opinion of the Resident Evil 4 iterations, shall we?

Gamecube = Amazing. Best game on the system. Best game in the series.

PS2 = Oh my god, they pulled off a miracle! They ported it to the supposedly weak PS2 and added new modes! How did they accomplish this?! It looks just as good, I tell you!

PC = Barf! What is this crap? Worst port EVAR! It looks horrible! It doesn't have mouse aiming! FUCK YOU CAPCOM!

Wii = It's like the PS2 version but with motion controls. That's...nice. When's RE5 coming out?



Now then, I must ask, what the fuck is wrong with all of you? How could you be so wrong, so blind, and so fucking presumptuous?

My first beef: The PS2 version. Everyone loves it. I don't know why. Texture quality was cut in half. Environmental details were removed or simplified, like trees and water and so on. Every single cutscene is now an MPG file. This is why your extra costumes never show on PS2. Countless special effects and lighting were removed, and the game looks very dull thanks to it. There are visual comparisons everywhere, but no one seems to care. It has a new mode with Ada Wong, so that totally makes up for it, right?

PC port: Guys. It's fucking identical to the PS2 version. It's a quick copy-paste job from it. Do your god damn homework and stop trashing this port. It's actually better than the PS2 version, because modders have incorporated higher quality FMVs, impressively mimicked the gamecube's lighting, inserted all the gamecube textures and even enhanced them further. A prior blog post of mine proves all this.

Oh but mouse aiming, where is it? Why did they take out mouse aiming?! Mouse aiming was so perfect on Gamecube and PS2. Oh wait, there was no mouse aiming. Huh...I guess everyone who was expecting mouse aiming on PC was a braindead shitcock who might as well have expected mouse aiming in Devil May Cry 3 on PC. Both games have guns in them, after all. And games with guns require mouse aiming, right?

Why must I be cursed to notice all the details other people can blissfully overlook. I hear it's delightful to live oblivious to the elements around you. Truly, I am envious.



I'm sure this post came off as psychotic nerd rage but beholding so much concentrated stupidity and false information is enough to ruin any clear-headed individual's day. Resident Evil 4 was not even that good of a game. Fuck.
