New details about RE4 PC Edition emerge

Rely on Horror: Excited for yet another Resident Evil 4 port? Don't answer - it's coming whether fans want it or not. And I'm sure that after the dismal PC edition we've already received, anything is a step up.

A developer has spilled a little bit of information as to what exactly we should expect with the upcoming port.

Feature wise, the game is based off of the Xbox 360 version, which was based off of the Wii and Gamecube versions.

I thought this was a joke when they brought it up before.. Do we honestly need another version of RE4? Especially when we had a PC version already?

[Moncole]

The PC version that was released already is one of the worst PC ports ever made.

[Neonridr]

lol, fair enough.. The Wii version was still my favorite. It was my definitive version.

@Neonridr
Unless they somehow make Wii Remote work on PC, the Wii version will continue to be my definitive version.

@Nerdmaster

You can use the Wii remote on PC with a Bluetooth adaptor/dongle.

I own it on Wii and will buy it again when it goes cheaper like 5$. Since this version has mouse aiming it will make it better than the Wii version.

@Lon3wolf
Sorry, I was trying to say "make Wii Remote work on the PC version of the game". If the game isn't prepared for the Wii Remote, we won't be able to use it's pointer function, and that's the main reason to use it.

@Moncole
I disagree. I played RE5 and RE6 with mouse aiming, and it still comes nowhere close to using the Wii Remote. With the Wii Remote the screen stays still while you're aiming, and that makes so much easier to shoot and stun 2 or more enemies in a row.

Not to mention there are already mods for the original PC version that make it look as good, if not Better then this new HD edition.

Why are they calling it the 360 version? It's the PS3 version, too.

[Arsenic13]

The PS3 version had a few differences that were inferior to the 360 version. The audio for example was at a lower quality. Plus it's easier to port from 360 to PC because of the architecture.

[WeAreLegion]

Seriously? That's odd.

I like the SD textures of the wood better, it actually looks like wood and not this crystal clear flatness. SD texture actually gives it some character to the wood.

[Axonometri]

agreed
in that shot at least, the HD is far worse

[J_Cob]

Yea I thought that was odd too. The SD version of the wood looks old like the shack is run down from years of sitting. The HD texture looks like the shack was just built.
