Those who watched us play through the first 30 minutes of the game saw the slowdown firsthand, and while it's far from game-breaking, significant chugging for a game this old will be unacceptable for many.
But when a taxing effect, texture, or amount of enemies onscreen deal a blow to the game's speed, the action slows to accommodate it. Hiccups or overlooked glitches are par for the course, but when the game bears the title of an "Ultimate Edition" of a beloved game, even the minor problems seem like massive drawbacks.įor starters, the decision to lock the game to 60 fps sounds promising, and when all aspects of the game are hitting their stride, the results are impressive (in the sense that the game doesn't seem to be a decade old, merely several years). Since the quality of the game itself - which PC gamers wanted to enjoy in the first place - was never in question, it comes as little comfort to say that the majority of the criticism that can be leveled against this version are technical. And while Capcom has pointed to the increased level of polish and improved textures as one of the Ultimate HD Edition's biggest selling points, there is only so much that can be done with nearly decade-old assets.
The decision to populate the game with frantic, maniacal human beings instead of zombies still pays off, resulting in twisted monsters and genuinely shocking enemies that still hold up in terms of character design after all these years. Kennedy is sent to track her down, crossing paths with a village filled with infected members of a religious cult, intent on killing nearly every outsider they encounter. When Ashley Graham - daughter of the American President - is kidnapped and held hostage in rural Spain, the game's hero Leon S. Not to mention a framerate locked at 60 frames per second.įor those who may have missed the original release of RE4, it's worth pointing out just how much the game differs from what is now expected of the series. Those problems are solved with this "definitive" PC version of the game, adding mouse support, (some) custom key bindings, remastered textures and customizable resolution. Exactly how you see the game measuring up to that question depends on your hopes for the long-awaited PC port, with the previous version lacking mouse and keyboard controls, customization of graphics, resolution, and framerate.
