Resident Evil 4 PC finally coming out 

The PC version of Resident Evil 4 has been in development for a long time, but a final version of the game is coming out in Japan on June 7. The PC port requires Windows 2000/XP, a Pentium 1.4GHz (although it is recommended that you use a 2.4GHz processor or greater), 256 MB of RAM (512MB recommended), 7GB of hard drive space, a DVD-ROM drive and 128MB of video RAM (256MB of video RAM and a GeForce 6600 or better is recommended). There aren’t any new special features for the PC port except Ada Wong’s bonus missions and tuned graphics. Sure it’s a cosmetic change, but Resident Evil 4 on the PC looks way better than it does on the Gamecube, Playstation 2 or Wii.

    These three pictures are from the Wii, PS2, and NGC versions. Why’d you post them with a story about th PC version, especially when you talk about how it looks?

    I’ve heard that the PC version is terrible. You pretty much have to use a gamepad, as there’s no mouse support. How’d they make a shooter for the PC and not have mouse support?

    Actually, the game is already out in Europe. I can tell you that no optimization happened. No mouse controls either (you can use the mouse but in analogue emulation). And the graphics suffered greatly (basically, the entire lighting engine has been ripped out). Might be that Capcom improved on this build for the American release, but im doubtful.

    I heard the PC version was crap, but to port a game to PC and not have any mouse support … err … wtf?

    I am so disgusted with the pc version of this game, graphics are not even what they look on ps2 or Wii its more like toned down, worse no mouse support feature (wtf!)

    The GUI (graphic user interface) is also a joke, barely any real option, no much on resolution choice either.
    For being the best RF game so far, developers didn’t really bother doing anything apart from slapping console version to a cd for pc gamers.

    I won’t be playing pc version of the game again even though I have it, it’s playable with controller but I’m not a console fan so I won’t even bother.
    Though I just may if they finally decide to release a proper version for pc in not so far future ¬_¬

    yeah the pc version of re4 isent all what i hoped for, i have the gc version and had the ps2 version too, but hoped there would be somthing new in this version, like better sound and graphics ect, but honestly i think that the people who ported this were just not all that wise and decided to use the ps2 version to port over to the pc, surely they could have used the gc’s graphics for the mainn game, and just used the ps2′s models for the seperate ways mission.

    I’ll put my thoughts forward. With the 90mb patch this game is better than both the CUBE and PS2 Versions, and I have all 3.

    If you have a PS2 like pad, which works well on PC, and you have a decent rig, there is no reason why this version should be seen as a bad port. Maybe without the patch, with it, it adds some lighting which was taken out of the original realease.

    I loved this on PS2, and I love it on PC. I even went back to trying the PS2 version, and I have to say, after looking at the sharp PC verison on a monior, i could clearly see the difference.

    As for mouse support, you can get a mod, but i really dont see the point, this game was designed for a game pad, and why change it, it worked well on CUBE and PS2. The game would become too easy with mouse control. So i am glad its kept to the original.

    With time and effort, this game clearly is a good port.

    The patch contains fixes for Pixel Shader and Lightning which enable PS and lightning for the game. The textures remain the same, there’s no hi-res texture in the patch. If you wish for a best RE4 PC port, you can search on the net for hi-res mod (there’s already a hi-res mod that replaces almost all of the original ones, just gog: Skotinoulis’s mod). And with the patch applied, you can enjoy a brand different RE4 PC port that second to none of the consoles!

    I played through this game several times and unlocked all it’s secrets. By far the BEST version. PC version beats console versions. Only bad part was the cut scenes…too bad there weren’t in HD. Got to have a gamepad to play it fine. Anyone who thinks they see console screenshots here must never have played the PC version yet. Trying to make Ada Wong nude mod right now hehe.

    The PC version with the patch looks better than the PS2,Wii or GameCube iditions of RE4.But it sux that in when it’s dark,the PC varsion is brighter and even with brightness down to 0(zero) it isn’t i doesn’t look as good as on PS2.And the movies…When i play with special’s you play with the R.P.D suite but on the movies u are with the regular.No need for a mouse use,the game is played very easy with keyboard,once u learn to use it ofc:)This is the only 2 changes they have to make on the PC version and it will become better the the PS2.For now the PS2 is a litter better :)

    uh hummm,,,, yea right! you say you have all 3 games on PC, GC and PS2? why compare the PAtched PC version to the dull shitty Ps2 version? of course their would be a big difference, gamecube however shits on the Ps2 version , i have those two !
    GAmecube was who capcom intended this game for, so unfortunately their will be nothing you poor PC owners can ever do except bite the bullet and buy a cheap 30 buck gamecube to experience pure visual pleasure.
