There's always your 7th or 8th playthrough for mods, why wait. The game was meant to be replayed, it encourages it with its weapon system and special unlocks. Heck there's a 5GB "HD" texture pack in the game already, play it with that, then play it on New Game + when the other HD pack releases, then play it again a third time around as well!

Weird how hyped I am to play this again.
Yeah this is going to feel as fresh as playing it with Wiimote controls. The HD textures are cool and all, but playing it at 60fps is the real game changer.
pretty done

I look forward to $5 during the Summer sale. Revelations was fucking ace with m/kb controls.

With the ridiculous price revelations and re6 had since release I don't expect re4 to be 5$ anytime soon, 10$ is my sweet spot. I owe my 5th copy of re4 that much lol

man, I have such fond memories of RE4. I had a buddy of mine play through it a few months after I did on gamecube, and his answer to everything was the Rocket Launcher. Empty hallway, and you think badguys might be around the corner? Rocket Launcher. Of course, this also meant he ended up killing like half the merchants in the game.

Bought this game for the 4th time.

Recommended configurations have always been bullshit, but they have gotten out of control the past year.

Believe it or not, this is only my second time buying this game. Once on Gamecube, and then now. So all the separate ways stuff will be completely new to me at least. This will be tiding me over until the parts for my PC come in (so probably 30fps until then), but I'm excited anyway!
It's not just about 60fps, you'll know what I'm talking about.

RE4, South Park, and Year Walk should tide me over nicely until Dark Souls.

It might not be the best idea, but I'm gonna plow through the first Dark Souls before I get Dark Souls 2. I haven't really been able to play it since I bought it in December.
So did Capcom ever explain what the deal is with the missing specular effects? It seems like a simple thing to fix, but what do I know, I guess. Mouse aiming will be cool though.

Only played it on GCN and Wii, and adored Wii for the controls by far. Nice to hear this is based off of that code, even if some of the effects are necessarily missing due to being hardware specific. After playing through RE5 for the first time this year, it gave a hankering for another RE4 playthrough, so may just pick this up again for Steam sometime ...
Same here. If the PS2 version had the same substantial amount of new stuff like with Metal Gear re-releases, I would have gotten it even with the downgraded graphics and audio.
Only got this because just how repayable this game is and that this is probably the pinnacle representation of a game that changed all of us.

The console HD versions were both 30 fps.
It wasn't.
this is the kind of response i want to hear when asked about port limitations. it makes sense, especially for an older game like this, and makes it clear that you can mod the game (easily or not) if you decide you want to. it respects the questioner's intelligence unlike something like "well our perfect vision for the game is 24.95fps so we've locked it there".
other japanese developers need to take notes
Look, you just don't get the original PSP's faulty square button. Everything about the PSP was intentional. It wouldn't have worked if it was any other way, and they had no intention of changing it. You wouldn't criticize a master architect's plan just because you noticed a mistake.
Being PC, I'd imagine there's a way to mod in Pointer controls. Could always use the controller for most of the game and switch to the mouse for quick point and shoot in specific sections (e.g. shooting gallery), too, though.

Yes they did, actually. The effects were intrinsic to the GameCube hardware, ripping them out and emulating them would be extremely time-intensive.
Negative. 60 FPS is a first for RE4.
Cracked me up
Gonna be buying it for someday for a well deserved replay. Though how the fuck did it take Capcom so long to release a normal playable version on PC is beyond me.
Surprising they haven't, I believe Gamefly sent out their keys already. They were able to get in touch with Capcom somehow.

I'll be okay with mouse and key board for now. Just really want to buy it again. Sounds stupid right?
Wait, so were these effects on the Wii version?
And will they be here now on the ultimate edition?

You're goddamn right.
Yes, the Wii has GameCube hardware built in.
No, they will not be available in this version.

Waiting on you GMG...
Damn... how noticeable are these? I haven't played through it since the Gamecube.
I just Google Translated that, lmfao. I've played this game countless times and didn't know that, thanks.
Google translation: "The Fuck you doing here? SOD OFF CABRON!"
The DOF effect was really more of a blur filter and I thought looked poor.
The specular highlights were only used on some objects to make them appear slimy. Not sure how many objects actually used this effect, but shouldn't be too noticeable unless you are looking for them.

Own it on PS2, GC, will own it on Steam soon.
I wish I could say that I've only bought it 5 times. I'll get it from the BST thread at a highly discounted rate in the future. Looks great though.
