Quantcast



 I was as surprised as you were to hear that Resident Evil 4 was finally released on the PC in Europe (the US gets it this May). I was even more surprised to hear that the game's visuals were severely downgraded, due to what appeared to be a sloppy porting job.

It looks like the game's publisher, UbiSoft, is making nice. A patch for the game has been released that appears to significantly improve the look of the game. The 70 megabyte patch appears to contain new textures and add lighting, making the game significantly easier on the eyes.

The patch doesn't appear to be live from Ubisoft's UK page, but can be downloaded here.

I never knew this was coming to the PC, and despite my love for this game, I'm surprised who'll buy it when it releases here. Honestly, hasn't everyone played it 5 times already?

Dammit, i had this game and immediately uninstalled it when i realized how shit it looked... If only they'd add decent mouse support instead of having to get a 3rd party mod :p

Yes Rock, and you'll play it for the 10th time on the Wii. And you'll fucking like it.

Because Nappa Summa says so.

I fixed it for you and it bumped your comment up to first. Just to set the record straight, Kennigit had first comment. We know how important that is.

I RESERVED THIS GAME ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO.

I resisted the urge to buy RE4 for the GC just because I wanted to play it on the PC. If there's no mouse support, I'll be pissed.

Well, I just found a mouse aiming mod for RE4 using a quick Google search. I'm happy now.

Are we talking like first person shooter mouse sensitivity aiming? If so, that'll take all the fun out of the game. Headshots actually count for something in this game, I think being able to get them too easily would reduce the difficulty quite a bit.

When this game shipped, it apparently had extremely broken controls that were remedied by a patch.

Mozgus, bite your tongue. RE4 was one of my favorite RE and GCN cames.

Does my heart good to see the Capcom spreading the Resident Evil love around. You PC holdouts are about to witness the Omega ;-)

I don't think that 70mo of textures is enough to make the game looks "good" on pc...

"Throw all that in with the facts that it was a pretty mediocre game on the Cube to begin with, and the worst title in the legendary RE series."

ORLY?

Other Capcom PC ports have been total crap as well so I'm not surprised.

I bought the game for the pc, didn't even know it was coming out. It is basically trash, if only I could get my money back. ...

Anyway the controls suck (no mouse support), the graphics are crap, and believe me I tried to play it all the way through but couldn't finish. In hind sight, how good can a port of a port be?

I too am a bit disappointed at the graphics quality since this is supposed to be one of the much better games (considering it requires a high end Graphics Card).
If the U.S. version is already patched, then the graphics are simply shitty. They look ok enough to play the game and all but they could be "Cleaner", Sharper, less pixelated with clear, smoother edging (similar to the PS2 or even similar to Doom 3 for PC. HEll, even Doom 3 has better graphics.

Anyhow, I just tried the MouseAim and to tell you the truth, it isn't worth the effort.
There is no way to speed up the way it allows you to look around (a person could get killed in the time it takes to look from right to left.) Also, in the Configuration Tools in RE4, you can map the keys on the keyboard... I have the Quotes (") Key set as my Run key so it is easier to reload and run. With MouseAim enabled, all I do is walk all the time and can't run.

It really isn't worth it people.
