Thanks to DarkThor

Finally LIGHTNING ? Whoa. Has the PC version real 16:9 ? But it's still the PS2 models :(

[mandiller]

I said WOW.

Very nice. I had the misfortune to play the PC version.

Now where's the patch to fix the controls? The game is still useless if it controls like buggery.

[MadOdorMachine]

Is this game even out yet?

[plagiarize]

thread needs more screens.

[DSN2K]

did they add the GC textures or something ? seems like more then the lighting has changed.

[SpokkX]

so.. uh.. the pc version looked worse than the GC version?

[Sho Nuff]

Oh...hello!

[plagiarize]

yeah the pc version in some ways (not resolution) looked worse than the ps2 version. it used the ps2 version and basically had flat lighting up until this point.

what's been fixed is the lighting and if i'm not mistaken they've added some fog too, which really helps with the atmosphere of the outside areas.

[Paws of Fury]

The PC version kicks ass except some low res backgrounds here and there! Can't imagine to go back to the console versions after playing this.

Just get yourself a nice gamepad though, like I did!

[seb]

Was it really necessary to make those texture more visible ?

[medrew]

vpance gave some comparisons earilier

wow. there really was NO lighting before.

[glaurung]

wow. there really was NO lighting before.

Shit! Shit! That picture got me intrigued again. I need to finish this game.

Blast.

[MickeyKnox]

this shot looks pretty decent

[psy18]

Damn you ubisoft! Why release a game sooner if you can increase the quality 100x in just a month.

[Patrickula]

Woah... what...? how...?

[M3d10n]

Whoa, the patch has 70MBs. It probably replaces all levels' geometry files, since the original ones didn't seem to have neither the vertex-color information nor the point lights.

[AgentOtaku]

Woah... what...? how...?

[skinnyrattler]

Ubisoft released this? God, are they good for anything? Besides inspiring EA to stomp a mudhole in their ass.

[_Alkaline_]

wow. there really was NO lighting before.

[dock]

Here's a big improvement.
I wonder whether here will be any more patches.

[Dot50Cal]

Now all we need are the models and map geometry from the GCN version and were set.

[MickeyKnox]

Whoa, the patch has 70MBs. It probably replaces all levels' geometry files, since the original ones didn't seem to have neither the vertex-color information nor the point lights.

Apparently the patch also changes some texture files, as it seems people are asking for the new updated texture folder.

[Nuclear Muffin]

Wow, it looks like a totally different game now!

Still worthless without GCN graphics or mouse controls though :(

[East Clintwood]

There has been a mouse patch since the release.

[Uncle Dukey]

There has been a mouse patch since the release.

It's just emulating a controller stick... far from native mouse support.

[Bebpo]

What scene was this from? I don't remember it at all. (only played the GC version. Was this added in the PS2 one?)

[EGM92]

I don't remember where you are exactly, castle? but you have to go behind the chair to gain access to either an underground lab or some dungeon or something... it gives you the option to sit down but nothing happens besides that commentary. Sorry for being vague the game didn't have much of a lasting impression on me.

[schild]

Saw it in PS2 version. Seemingly a straight homage to the end of God of War 1.

[Vlad]

It's after the cutscene knife fight with Krauser, and right before the hallway with the lasers.

[binaryburrito]

Saw it in PS2 version. Seemingly a straight homage to the end of God of War 1.

Except that RE4 predates GOW.

[madmook]

If I remember correctly its that room before the laser-traps. When you go up to the chair it gives you the option to "sit down" and that little scene pops up. Nothing special.

Edit: I'm blind, I was beaten.

Post-edit: I don't understand why they would release the game in its original form (no lighting?) and then patch it soon after magically unlocking the lighting. WTF were they thinking?

I thought it was a castlevania homage to dracula in his throne.

[vpance]

I started replaying it on the PS2 a little while ago, but held off for this. Now I can play in 1080p glory. Haven't played much of it yet but it seems to run smooth so far. Looks like the only really jarring thing left is the prerendered cutscene vids.

[Prime crotch]

I thought that scene with Leon sitting in a cool pose was a homage to the bad ending of Streets of Rage.

[vpance]

I always thought those throne poses were a homage to the Conan movie, at the end after he conquers all his enemies. It's used everywhere.. Warcraft, GoW, here.. etc.

first SoR?

Conan makes more sense

[USD]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Feindflug]

Except that RE4 predates GOW.

QFT! as much as I love GoW, RE4 is the better game - in fact it's the best game of last gen.

And about the throne scene..someone said that's a homage to the first GoW, RE4 was released before GoW.

[Lince]

just some quick grabs I took to test the patch










now it looks like RE4 PS2 but in Hi-Def +AA +AF

[DaCocoBrova]

QFT! as much as I love GoW, RE4 is the better game - in fact it's the best game of last gen. And about the throne scene..someone said that's a homage to the first GoW, RE4 was released before GoW.

I adore both... But Gears is more fun and playable. RE4 I'd rather watch someone else play.

you should check up on the meaning of "predates" .

about the patch, its just ridiculous how little effort was put into this port, people should be jailed for this kind of stuff. and this patch doesnt help much to the people who bought this game when it came out, since most of them probably uninstalled the game and burned the DVD after a minute of that shit.

[ChrisJames]

Damn, this game still looks next gen (almost).

[Hcoregamer00]

Damn, this game still looks next gen (almost).

If only they used the Gamecube version.

The water is missing the beautiful shader water found in like all next gen games.

[Cruceh]

God of War...

Yeah I made a mistake...predate = released before. :P

And about the patch, the game looks freakin' good now but it's still the PS2 version in HD, +AA & AF. :P

If Capcom actually released an updated version of the GC game on the next gen consoles that would've been really awesome... ^__^

[Stop It]

My word, who made this patch, Ubi or Capcom? it's like they had their entire production budget doubled post the game going gold or something, night and day difference, if it weren't for the fact that I am committed to RE4Wii I would get this, much, much better.

The cutscenes aren't pre-rendered. They are MPG captures from the Gamecube version.

FYI, Ubisoft only published this. They didn't develop it (nor did Capcom). It was outsourced, and it shows (especially the fact that it's the PS2 version!). I'm still waiting for the definitive edition (RE4 Wii).
