Oh, I assumed you had a few upgraded guns (striker, red 9) after the first run. And I didn't mean sell your guns.

I haven't played as much recently, but I'm on my third runthrough of the game and I have the Handcannon fully upgraded, the PRL 412, and the chicago typewriter. I'm almost at another 1,000,000 pesetas to purchase the infinite launcher. Then I'll truly have the ultimate inventory!
Have to say, this game is tougher then my memory serves me. My girlfriend is catching me screaming odd lines like "keep ducking and killing me asshole!" from the other room.
Played the GC and PS2 versions religiously. Tried the entire PC + texture pack vs. Dolphin mess and got fed up with the work. So it's been awhile since I did a full play-through.
Game looks pretty good with the HD upgrade. Less stand-out gaudy textures then the packs for previous PC version but a lot of low res hurts the visual experience. Mouse controls are OK but I hate the QTE. The mouse shake doesn't register well. QTE's are garbage regardless. I also find that Leon "spazzes out" with the mouse controls too often. There is a trick to having the mouse focused on a specific field while doing quick-turns and navigating KB + mouse. I haven't found the trick yet though and end up staring at room corners, enjoying the paint work.
I had an early chainsaw death and then saw better drops... So I assume the game dumbs down when you perish. I'm not sure I realized this years ago unless I'm imagining things. Regardless, I'm now not continuing, not to drop my death count, but to stop difficulty assisting. Too lazy to research the truth.
Parts still suck. Boat controls and escort missions come to mind. Took me a bit to figure out that the turn part you do with Del Lago is a dodge and fire, not a free shot. So you have to give the boat a little turn. Led to some frustration. Then I took him out with no damage once that puzzle was solved. Ashley is OK if you just have her hold position way way back. Pretty pointless though. Oh and Luis, house scene. Can you not jam into corners and constantly duck, not assisting in any way, cause you are jamming my line of sight? Thx buddy, I'm not invincible like you.
El Gigante round 2 with 80% health, one body slam, I'm dead... Shesh. Ended up taking him out with a Red 9 and no damage though, which was rewarding. Chainsaw fanatics who take a truck load and one smacks you. The merch when he sees you have too many herbs and won't part with the spray. The head craps which spawn sometimes with a shot lower then a head shot. Doesn't seem right.
All that said and less then 4hrs in again, this game is a fucking MASTERPIECE. I don't even know why I would go next-gen or upgrade my GPU when I have RE4. 3rd on the all-time list for me.
EDIT:
Looks like I'm right and there is sliding difficulty. No thanks Capcom. Give me death or give me victory.

In professional the foes are always with max aggressiveness.
I feel the same with some QTEs, especially the mouse shake. They don't feel like the console versions in response.
I'm waiting to clear normal and then I'll move on to it. I still wish normal difficulty didn't scale. To me it cheapens that play-through where you are rusty from the last time you played.

Yeah, I too also always retry at the last save point because of this. I wish you could turn off the adaptive difficulty, I enjoy overcoming a challenge. Die a couple times in the Water Room and the crossbow Ganados won't spawn anymore, fuck that.
I would like an option too.

Does the restart at last checkpoint option affect the dynamic difficulty at all?

So professional has no dynamic difficulty scaling at all?
Good question. I don't know about herbs and ammo.

Don't forget number of enemies spawned.
I think I'm done for a while. In the future I'll come back and play mercenaries.
Game is so amazing, despite the fact that you have seen it many times you can still dump 50+ hours into it and see all the content again.

Question, since this is running on DX 9 now, is it possible to add shaders not possible or in the original GC version of the game? I know textures can be improved, but never seen a hack that added more shaders like normal mapping to a game.
Think it already been done, at least at some level of approximation:

Edit: Or you are not talking about the missing effects, but new effects. In that case I don't know; think textures needs, in some way, to support it also.

Truly a horrible sin upon the world.
Also, does it not feel longer and longer each time you play that you have to babysit the little princess?
Some really unique death animations

Could it be that the game just rolled back to 1.0.2?

Looks like the public beta has been turned off and patch beta patch 1.0.4 will be released shortly.

I'm really glad to see Capcom still supporting the release. It must've sold decently enough, and this is before a sales period.

sounds good. the more config and ini stuff we have, the more modders can do with the game.

I only half remembered the regenerators from my decade ago play through. I remembered how they needed to be killed but I didn't have the particular item needed to do it properly when I ran into the first set. I figured blowing off a leg would give me enough time to get around one and move onto the next room. That was a mistake that almost made me shit my pants. Holy shit, that attack made me jump.

Ahh so the X+A issue had to do with timing the press ultra-precisely at that same time, not necessarily too tight a window. That makes sense. That was weird. Triggers were never a problem X+A were a coin toss.

Wow! That's quite a patch. QTEs fixed? Yes! They also reinstated the dynamic lighting glows and tweaked some flare effects. *tips hat to Q-LOC/Capcom*
So the 1.0.4 beta patch is supposed to add vibration to the TMP, Typewriter, and Matilda, but I don't get any vibration when using the TMP in Mercs and Assignment Ada. Other weapons are just fine. This is on a DS4 which has had zero issues with RE4 so far. Anybody else have the same issue?

Since I'm getting back into reviews and videos, I felt this should exist. 1080p60 copy of the knife fight with Krauser.

No.
Is the banding that severe in game?
Nope. Weird. I wonder if it's the color filter maybe messing with Afterburner.
Turn off in-game AA. You can force through drivers if you wish.
I'll give that a shot. thx!
