Capcom developer posted some info about the PC port of RE4.

Feature wise, the new PC version is based on the Xbox 360 version, which in turn is based on Wii/GCN versions.

Many of the texture assets have been redone (not everything, mind you) from the ground up, as you can see in the screenshot gallery on the Steam Store page. I've uploaded a handful of side-by-side comparison shots for good measure just to give everyone an idea.

The game has an option to toggle between original and HD texture pack. HD texture pack is approximately 5GB while the standard pack weighs in at 1.6GB (they're in separate directories). After excluding common redistributables such as DirectX and Visual C++, the game itself comes out to about 11GB.

Similar to the Xbox 360/PS3 version, most cut scenes are rendered real time and in-engine. Some cut scenes, such as those from the Separate Ways content introduced with the PS2 version, were only captured in video. Aside from that, movies such as the opening CGI movie are naturally upscaled from the original 2005 release (again, same with all other versions).

Graphics Option - Game allows you to select whatever resolution your Windows OS supports. That said, the game is optimized for 1920x1080 (16:9) format running at 60fps and has been tested as such, but it seems to work in higher resolutions as well. Anything beyond 1080p has not been formally tested and therefore not 'officially' supported by Capcom, but I've had it run fine on 2560x1600, 2560x1440, and 1920x1200 settings. Your mileage may vary. In-menu, the game will also have anti-aliasing options up to 8X, three shadow quality settings, aforementioned texture quality toggle, full screen on/off toggle, motion blur on/off toggle, and one other 'fun' graphics option that I just won't mention at this time so as not to ruin the surprise. There are other graphics options not surfaced via the in-game menu, but I'm sure many of you tinkerers will find it without problem. Standard disclaimer: any tweaks you make outside of the game menu aren't officially supported by Capcom ;-)

So close, and then I look at the ground textures ugh


I'll buy it at a high price.

Did I say meth? I meant Marvel Heroes yes it's that bad, it's like vanilla wow days. Don't ask me why, it's my 15 year old self dream game I guess

Remind me not to mock people that only play one game all the time (like Dota for example) ever again

Meth=Marvel Heroes?

Edit: Yep. BTW, do we have a GAF thread or anything for Marvel? I play it frequently.

Yes on community side.

Awesome community there too, very helpful, on par with SteamGaf easily (in fact there is a lot of the same people on both)

 

[zkylon]

I'll buy re4 eventually

I never really understood why people like it so much, but maybe it's me just liking re2 and 1 so much that I can't accept any other gameplay

but it didn't do it for me back in the ps2 days

 

[Gvaz]

Those HD environment textures still need some work. Like, a lot higher res. those SD textures are what I expect on a gamecube/wii game.

Well, that's what it is based off of.

I think RE4 is loved because of the first few areas and the "zombie" attacks on the houses. It really was special at the time and I can't think of any game that got close to that same style of terror.

From there I'll contend the game is pretty ordinary except for the inclusion of several amazing boss battles.

Contrast that to the much maligned RE5. The attacks are no longer special, because they have done it all before...and the boss battles sucked. Other than that it is pretty much the same thing.

 

[Milamber]

RE4 better have cards.

You shoot a guy into his stupid knee and suplex him to ground while 2 giants throw rocks at your in a room filled with lava while a guy while a chainsaw chases you.

It's arguably the best TPS out there and it influences TPS games to this day.

I love classic RE and love survival horror/locked cameras/tank controls more than anything but RE4 is TPS perfection

 

[Sendou]

RE4 better have cards.

It does.

 

[Gvaz]

I can totally understand gunporn.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Other than that it is pretty much the same thing.

Not really, the complete loss of a foreboding atmosphere and the bland level design in RE5 separate them quite a bit.

 

[Tizoc]

I have the physical version they offer and it is completely uncensored even compared to the Japanese version. The DD version on their site should be the same.

Thanks, will get it if it ever goes on sale...assuming JAST does that @_@

 

[Gvaz]

Anyone else's steam simply not starting after the beta patch?

 

[Milamber]

It does.

Yay.

 

[Rhaknar]

wait, what?

Was just joking as explained some posts after, not trying to make light of meth or anything :/

 

[Tenrius]

So I got invited to the streaming beta. Yay, I guess, although I don't really need this feature.

In other news, finals are over.

 

[Acccent]

because of this

I just noticed that his right hand doesn't ever move during the whole animation and now I can't unsee it

hi everyone

 

[BoosterDuck]

it probably comes off

 

[intheinbetween]

does any Capcom game have cards?

 

[catabarez]

What? Yes.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Anyway, nice seeing you all! *retreats back under CS:GO rock*

I'll probably resurface once RE4 comes out. . . again.

 

[BoosterDuck]

RE4 better have cards.

Steam platform support with Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards, global leaderboards, and full game controller support.

does any Capcom game have cards?

uuhhh....yeah?

No workshop, no buy.

 

[Fare Godmace]

I just checked my mail after waking up, and I got in the streaming beta! Yay!

Oh, wait, I have no internet back home right now and I won't probably have for a couple of weeks.

And my finals are close.

And I haven't even started played Runner 2 and Deadly Premonition, my two most wanted games yet because of my internet problems.

FML

 

[Saty]

Need a list to keep up with all these January releases.

On the bright side, you'll have more time to focus on finals, right? Is there nowhere else you can go to get internet for the time it'd take to download them?

 

[Acccent]

I... don't get it.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I... don't get it.

You're right hand comes off?

 

[Acccent]

Oh- I had to google it, I thought it was a pun lost in translation.

good job Iron Badger

MarcoZombieCannon work on you're/your!

Oh, neat. I wasn't actually expecting this level of effort.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I did it like that because the game does!

 

[Fare Godmace]

Yeah, I know I'll be able to focus more on them… Problem is, I've only got two this semester, so I'm not going to be studying all day for them.

Right now I'm at a library, but this is an old Mac that can't run those games, even if I switch to my Windows partition

 

[Acccent]

omg you're right what the heck

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

omg you're right what the heck

Yeah, that has always stood out to me. Capcom has been Capcpom for quite a while, it seems.

 

[Atruvius]

Whoa, got into the streaming beta. Didn't have any Steam messages so I thought I didn't but there was a message in my email. Neat.

 

[Relax.MX]

My update of the 3 games I'm currently playing:

Tropico 4: I have 6 hours according to Steam and the way I describe it is deja vu... is practically identical to the prequel. I've seen more new content in some DLC than this sequel, the graphics are not perceived feel like going from a Game Cube to a Wii graphically (I know, bad joke ...

Spoiler

troll

), the music is exactly the same. Still a very fun game but it is the same as the third. Actually after finishing the first mission I closed the game to see if I had not confused and had played before.

Being such a large country is a pain. So we decided we want something in return. We are imposing a tax of freedom in every country of his caliber.

Pay is strictly voluntary and will only have a small effect to be included in the list of countries that will soon invade.

Send 2,000.

Spelunky: This is my new vice, is a drug, I'm 27 hours I finally just now just exceed $ 221,000 for the first time and well I want more because, was in a perfect game and made ​​the most stupid mistake and i need to play it again because I know I can break that record.

But still Gaf people are crazy 500,000 - 600,000 ?

Dead Island: I played with 1 friend and 2 people over the internet, the game is monotonous, soulless. Have you ever felt when youre playing something and just want to end and uninstall it and put the game in the ¨finished List¨? It happens to me with this. Mediocre game.

And is a buggy game

 

[charlequin]

Are you guys getting Prey to play the game or pad your collection of steam games that you cant buy on steam?

I want to play it.

 

[Hasney]

GUYS CATLATERAL DAMAGE WAS GREENLIT I FEEL LIKE CELEBRATING WOO

I want to play it.

Same here. I started on 360 and never finished it, but enjoyed it until my joypad skills let me down. Should be here in a couple of days.

 

[Rickenslacker]

GUYS CATLATERAL DAMAGE WAS GREENLIT I FEEL LIKE CELEBRATING WOO

I had my own Greenlight elation the other day when I noticed Crimsonland got the go ahead. I felt silly when I then noticed this was way back in November, oops. Should be hitting any week now.

 

[Acccent]

GUYS CATLATERAL DAMAGE WAS GREENLIT I FEEL LIKE CELEBRATING WOO

have you played it in the browser? I don't get why people are excited about it beyond the fact that 'you are a cat', I found it pretty boring...

 

[Hawkie]

Happy to get Prey keys for those who want. PM for details. Also have a copy of Speedball 2: Tournament
