Riiiight... please prove it.

Keyboard and mouse controls would be pretty kick-ass for this game. Hell, maybe I won't hafta wait until I purchase a Wii in order to play this game.

After finishing off Resident Evil 4, Mikami moved to Clover Studios. Some people believe his move was due to the Resident Evil 4 Playstation 2 port. Mikami made it no secret that he wasn't fond of Resident Evil 4 being ported from the Game-Cube to another system, even going as far as stating he would chop off his own head (fire himself) if it were to happen.

Someone is not gonna be happy.

This has been around for awhile and keeps getting pushed back. Release it already so I can play a game I've already played twice already on two separate consoles.

RE4 for PC would be pretty sweet. Especially with a little graphical boost and more AA.

I own both DMC3 and Onimusha 3 on the PC. Haven't yet played DMC3 yet, but have with Onimusha 3. I hate to say this but it isn't are not uncontrollable. Ten bucks says you probably used a keyboard to do it. Plain and simple, buy a gamepad as the suckers can cost you as low as $20 for a good one.

One thing I didn't like about Onimusha 3 though is not the borderline okay graphics, because I couldn't really give a diddly piss about how detailed it is and it doesn't really matter in the end run, it was the controller configuration. It was complete chicken crap as it looked like some strange retro config thingamashitter that wasn't like in the menu itself but you had to hit I think F1 to bring it up instead of having it in a pause menu of sorts.

The controls although I was willing to buy a gamepad did were not well adjusted to PC gamepads, including artwork. There was this puzzle near the end in particular where I had to bust open a lock to get out of a gas chamber and the puzzle had a picture of a Playstation 2 gamepad and said to follow a combination of button presses. The unfortunate thing was that it was highlighting the button presses on the PS2 pad picture shown on the screen and I was trying to do the same combination based off of the buttons orientation on the pad, as I of course wasn't using a PS2 pad, and whenever it said for instance to press the "X" button my reflex was to hit button 2 on my Logitech Dual Action controller which is on the same place. But when I'd do it, that button would be configured to another action and the game would instead think I'm trying to do another action so hitting the bottom of the four buttons on the right hand side of the gamepad wouldn't do the same that it would have on the PS2 and could instead recognize it as me pressing the triangle button. I literally had to quit out of the puzzle since it couldn't be paused and reconfigure the controls specifically to get out of that puzzle so that it more closely resembled it's PS2 counterpart. Capcom messed up big there and should have either readjusted the controller artwork in the door unlocking puzzles for the PC users or created a default config resembling the PS2 gamepad. Either one would have worked but unfortunately didn't happen.

I also didn't really see very good improvement with the graphical options that you could switch on, but then again, I played a 128 MB graphics card so I could see the high def graphics support that was promised (required 256 MB for that) for it. Thank god I now have a 512 MB card so I can see if it makes a difference.

I sure hope RE4 doesn't end up this way. In this case I think the k/m setup would be much better than the gamepad, so I hope Capcom is smart enough to implement such. And I hope even more that they learn from some of the shoddy mistakes they made with Onimusha 3.

Well part of the problem with why the PC version is taking so unbelievably long is Capcom's very mediocre and amateurish experience with PC game development so they may be struggling to try and better understand what PC gamers want as well as know how to properly make it. Just cut them some slack and over time they should improve at it.

Speaking of Capcom games on the PC, I was talking on the forums about such and one of the guys who moderates the forums, Sven, said that Capcom has more PC games announced for 2007. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is Dead Rising.

Kind of old news isn't this? I remember hearing about RE 4 on the PC for a while, I just think it was as Earth shattering, albeit inevitable, as the announcement that the once GC exclusive was moving over to Sony's PS2.

I tend to shy away from console to PC ports but Ill probably check this out even if I already have it for the GC

Ill check this out because i killed my gc with coffee :(

Something ive been wondering about the wii is it fully compatable with all GC games? or like the 360 will they be releasing lists?

I own the GC version, and recently played it on my friends WII. It does in fact play the same as the GC version, though you do need a GC controller and memory card.

The PC version is old news, I'm kind of disappointed to see my favorite gaming site not know about it. Oh well.

And the PS2 port originally made me cry as well, but then I realized that it is such a great game that everyone should have a chance to experience it. That and Capcom probably realized they could milk it for all its worth.

It's been listed on Amazon UK for quite a while now:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubi-Soft-Resident-Evil-PC/dp/B000EYDB26/sr=1-2/qid=1168200767/ref=sr_1_2/026-4861289-0699602?ie=UTF8&s=videogames

The cover displays Capcom and Ubi.

Nice nice, i still have all Gamecube stuff intact other than the unit itself. So i finally get to finish this game when i can grab hold of a wii!

RE 4 was fucking bad ass. But seriously, fuck the PC, why not release it on 360 and Ps3 with RE5's graphics engine? Give a little peek at what next gen can do for the series, stop pumping out shit for old platforms.

What the hell are you smoking? Since the release of the previous generation of video cards, PCs have been more powerful than the "next-gen" consoles. Even the PS3 is running on a GPU much slower than the existing Geforce7800.
As for RE5, it isn't anywhere close to release-so there is no finalized version of the graphical engine, and the only developer known for doing stuff like you described is Valve with their HL Source and CS Source releases.

Remember people, it's a blog, not everything is news here.

Dunno if someone posted this, but the first version of Resident Evil 4 for PC came out ages ago.
But as all know (who played the PC and PS2 versions), the port totally sucks (no shadows, worse graphics....etc..) + the controls are pretty hard.

Nevertheless, UBISOFT will release the second version of the RE4 port. It promises to maintain the original PS2(or GC) graphics, and a better controls system...
