Resident Evil 4's Switch Port is Incredibly Straightforward

DS: “Resident Evil 4 has been ported a whole bunch of times over the years. As of this writing, the game has now appeared on GameCube, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, Wii, PC, and even some different versions for iOS and Android. Basically, it has become an easy game for Capcom to bring to various modern platforms over the years due to how popular the title remains nearly 15-years after originally releasing.

At the end of the day, Resident Evil 4 for Switch is exactly what it sounds like: it’s just Resident Evil 4 on Switch. Depending on how big of a fan of RE4 you are and how badly you’re looking to experience it in handheld mode will likely determine whether or not this is a must-buy for you or not. But in my own estimation, considering how costly this edition of Resident Evil 4 is when it’s more often than not just a simple port from the PS4 and Xbox One, I’m hard-pressed to say it’s worth your money at the moment. While it’s cool to have one of my favorite games ever now playable in handheld form, that selling-point can only go so far.”

The Switch tax is a huge jarring sticking point for this port

OpenGL1806d ago

Not sure why a 14 year old game can't hold 60fps on a console released in 2017

PhantomTommy1806d ago

Switch seems to be closer in power to the Xbox 360 and PS3 than the PS4 and Xbox One. The hd version of Resi 4 that released on last gen consoles ran at 30fps with some framerate drops. When they announced this port, my only concern was that they would attempt to match the 60fps of the other modern versions. It runs a lot better than I expected it to, but the Steam version has an option to cap the framerate at 30fps which they absolutely should have carried over to the Switch.

Segata1805d ago

Switch is well above 360/PS3. Capcom just doesn't care. They have shown that time and time again with the Switch.

Neonridr1805d ago

it is much closer to the XB1 than the 360. Don't kid yourself.

jznrpg1806d ago

It’s an old it should be an eeeassssyy port .

PhoenixUp1806d ago

I’d hate to see how Capcom handles the DMC1 port of DMC1 next

Nerdmaster1806d ago

I was ready to buy it, just waiting for the confirmation that it would have controls like the Wii version. Since it doesn't, I won't buy it.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos48d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts47d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook747d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka47d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka47d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz48d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos47d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1747d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca47d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Was Devastated With Bugs A Month Before Launch

The Resident Evil 4 remake's director has revealed in a recent documentary that the game was riddled with bugs in its final month before launch.

Rebel_Scum64d ago

Not a big surprise really. All games are pretty rough until the very end and everything is released with bugs regardless of how the consumer quantifies it as being “polished.”

CrimsonWing6963d ago

That’s sort of how game development or any kind of software development goes. Looking for bugs and debugging, QA, and trying to scramble and polish everything before a deadline’s up.
