Resident Evil 4 shows up in a lot of the "best games of all time" lists, thought I'd give it a try. Between the PS2/GC/PC versions, which one is best?
>>
PC without a question, GC is pretty good but Wii is better, PS2 is worst
>>
PC with a controller.
To warn you before you begin, the village holdout section at the start of the game is terrible for new players.
>>

>terrible for new players
why?
>>
>>336086545
Exactly this. The PC Steam version is the best version, but it was designed for a controller, so use one.
>>
the gamecube version has the original weapon stats, it was the way the game was intended to be played and provides the greatest challenge.
>>
>>336086767
never ever
>>
I hear lots of dudes recommending the PC version, but why a controller? Wouldn't it be easier to aim with the mouse, or is it shitty?
>>
Gamecube has better lighting and uses higher poly models. PC version is a port of the shitty PS2 version.
>>
>>336086545
>>336086862
yeah i remember feeling pretty fucking overwhelmed at that bit and not really knowing "how to play it" seeing as id had very little introduction to the games (at the time) new mechanics

>>
>>336086909
I've never heard about this before and I've beaten every version of RE4 ever at least twice. What's the difference?
>>
>>336086862
you get a very short introduction before shit gets real. it's extremely tense and one of the most memorable moments in a game imo.
>>
>>336086545
That bit of the game is fantastic. Pure fucking adrenaline as you learn the controls and get thrust into a situation that you aren't sure will ever end.
>>
>>336087021
Yeah I've been following it for like 2 years. One day. I can dream.
>>
PC version modded is amazing, without mods it's garbage.
If you don't wanna mod pick the PS2 version.
>>
HD PC version > Wii > Gamecube >>> PS2 >>> Original PC Port if only for the sin of no mouse support > POWER GAP > Iphone/Zeebo version
>>
>>336085456
Wii version by far

Is the PS3 / X360 version any good?

>>336087025

>>336087283
some weapons were made to be stronger in later versions of the game like the blacktail, red9, and bolt action rifle off the top of my head. starting with the ps2 version.

PC was originally of questionable quality but since the HD Port(which you can get on pretty much any console), it's a very solid choice to go with and pretty much the ideal way to play.

The HD port is based off the Wii version, which basically means it has all the content they added in the PS2 version, with none of the visual/gameplay compromises the PS2 version had, besides the some cutscenes being very obviously FMVs.
>>
>>336086862
Because you have to survive a wave of enemies coming at you while you're still barely learning the controls. Also, new players tend to go inside the house first. If you go inside, a guy with a chainsaw, which kills you in one hit, starts chasing after you.

>>336087446
>HD PC version
What, aside from the original port they launched another one on PC?
I already have the HD version on the PS3, is there any major differences from this new PC release to the PS3/X360 release?
>>
>>336087948
It's "ultimate HD" at 60fps
>>
I'd say GC or the HD PC version. PS2 version had extras but that system was not as powerful as the GC so it doesn't look or play as smoothly.

RE4 is a solid game and I've probably played through it a few times. I still find it entertaining due to the amount of content and the mercenaries mode is a fucking blast. Getting a Hunk neck snap chain is satisfying as hell.

>>336086545
>got RE4 on release GC
>tfw watching friends try it for the first time
>all of them start to flip out at this point and usually get blindsided by the chainsaw enemy

Deaths were incredibly brutal in this game. Surprised they decided to show that amount of gore in vidya. Was the Japanese version censored at all? I know they have some weird aversion/censorship when it comes to decaps.

How scary is this game on a scale from 1-10? Honestly I wouldn't be able to play it if it has dozens of spoopy parts in it.

Yes I know Resident Evil (was) originally a survival horror series, so granted 4 probably has most of those concepts still in it.
>>
>>336087948
http://store.steampowered.com/app/254700/

No, it's basically the same as the PS3/360 release, besides maybe looking a bit better. The only huge differences is mod support and mouse aiming, though the QTEs are a bit more annoying to do on keyboards.

The original PC port was handled by some Chinese fucks and was basically the PS2 version (Already considered an inferior version) and had absolutely no mouse support

That said, it had a pretty good modding community. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8q18V_Rz8I
>>
A LITTLE ROUGH
>>
>>336088273
For the average person it's not that scary, but I'm a huge pussy, so I got scared throughout the whole game.
RE5 didn't scare me though.
>>
>>336087046
That seems to happen with a few titles for some odd reason or another...PSO is another like that. A lot of effects and lighting things were lost in the transition from gamecube to Xbox, to the PC titles.
>>
Mouse and keyboard is a lot better than gamepad in the steam version.
>>
>>336086545
It's one of the game's best moments, if you ask me. Pretty much every player makes it through, and it's really well designed to teach you many of the mechanics in a short period of time.
>>
>>336085456
PC or Wii. Don't try to use gamepad controls and use M&K or waggle respectively
>>
>>336088273
Most of the scary bits come from very dramatic lighting and enemies that have a knack for sneaking up on you. If you can take that, you'll be fine.
>>
>>336088273

It's not that scary. There were very intense moments, new disgusting enemies or things that would cause me to panic a bit.

There is one enemy encounter in the game that most players I know agree was the scariest moment. It's a pretty gnarly and frightening enemy that requires you do kill it in a certain way. Its visual design, sounds and movement are all nasty.
>>
>>336088273

I pussied out at the beginning when you enter a cabin and when you exit, there's a corpse hanging near the doorway

Protip for when you get started: Save ammo by shooting enemies in the head or knee to stun them and following it up with a kick.
After the 1/3 point of the game, go for the knee for that sweet suplex.

If there is anyone in this thread that stated it is based on the PS2 version it is false, and the Steam images aren't of the actual PC game. It has no missing effects. That is the early PC port which was universally panned.

Not to mention the options you have, keyboard and mouse, or gamepad. Don't like aiming with the left stick? Change it in the options.

PC is the definitive version, and don't let any fanboy tell you otherwise. I first played this on Gamecube and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the HD version on PC is the best one.

>>336089463
There are two chainsaw fucks in the village. One of them is sitting in front of the farm exit and holds a ruby, the other shows up when you enter the house and drops 10000 taco dollars. If you're a real boss nigga you'll kill them both.

I thought it was pretty damn good, all things considered. It was first and foremost designed to be a console game, so having 1:1 mouse aiming may fuck up the animations, though I may just be talking out of my ass.

I personally was fine with them, better than playing with a gamepad at least. And I have one ready to go anytime, it was just worse.

in the village, there are two areas where you can shoot fish and collect them. in the room with the wooden catwalk and the ladder, where you climb up to your first meeting with the village boss in that house. and by the dock in the lake where you fight the sea monster.

No it isn't, on PC you have the options between original or 'HD' textures, you can choose between gamepad or M&K. You have better resolution and better frame rate, not to mention mods, just try to raise one point as to why the gamecube version is better.

>>336092023
There has been a playable version out for a long time now, and they've finished 2/3rds of it, maybe they will finish it, maybe they won't, regardless it has nothing to do with which version is superior.
>>
>>336092023
They've already completed village and are almost done with castle. They post updates every week.
>>
>>336091181

Yeah. It's stupid but I understand why they're doing it. It's being hyped up as the most popular. Six just got released on PS4 last month. Next in a month or two is 5...with 4 sometime in the fall.

>>336091605
What? Graphics? Yeah it looks beautiful and all that. I'm genuinely surprised this hasn't gotten him a job at capcom yet, and surely someone has heard of it. Very surprising that he hasn't been bitch smacked with a C&D order.

But maybe some people don't want to play it on PC's, anon. I prefer my things on console, and maybe others would as well which is why I mention it. Yeah it's gonna set me back 20 bucks but at least I can have most of my RE titles on one system now.

I only asked why you said:

And OP is clearly asking which version is the best. So I gave him the objectively correct answer; the PC version. And yes I mean objectively. I can prove it in every single way.

That said, I'm not trying to be hostile, and if you were just trying to give good advice then that's fine by me.

On another note, Capcom can't do a C&D on something that goes under fair use, they are not profiting from this outside of donations(?), it's just like any other texture mod, except it's exceptionally well done.

tried playing the PC version, buggy as hell and the controls never work right, not to mention the game looks too smooth at 60 fps (lower framerate adds to the atmosphere for this type of thing like the shitty graphics in SH1)

ps2 has several graphical downgrades. wii version is straight up the gamecube version with the ps2 extras without the drawbacks, and can be played with a gamecube controller

it's a bit dated btw if you're used to other first person shooters, the most glaring thing being a single analog stick for aiming and shooting (meaning readying the weapon stops movement) granted the game is designed around that and wouldn't be as tense if moving was possible

>>336085456
The PC version was ultimately the best in terms of technical quality but I have a special place for the Wii version and think its the best.

Without being a game designed for motion controls, it ended up being the most fun to play with them. That was special.

Wii is better than GC and PS2 with the bonus content and graphics but it sucks you can't use classic/gamecube controller for it. I didn't mind though since I thought the wiimote and nunchuck worked really well.
>>
Despite what some people are saying, don't play the wii version.
The wiimote makes that game a joke. Pick up GC or the HD release on steam, but play with a controller.

House is my legit strat every time. Go straight for house, barricade bottom floor. Run up stairs, jump out window, kick down ladder. Jump back in, grab shotgun/nades, kick down ladder that's at the window. Stand in front of said window and guard stairs, while periodically turning around to kick ladder. If shit gets too crazy I jump out window and go to the house directly across the street. Barricade door, kill shit. If guys get in then I fall back to second room and barricade that door, shoot a hole in it and try to pop heads through hole. Save shotgun for chainsaw man


Shit is so fun and intense
>>
>>336099259
The house is easy and fun to secure and defend once you've finished the game a couple times, but first time it's a death trap.

Not him, and I haven't played the Wii version yet, but I'm assuming it uses motion control the same way as the Metroid Prime Trilogy. In which case, using the term wagglan would be an insult to it, as it's fucking godly to control.
>>
>>336087165
No, the best and easiest way to beat the first part is to run forward a bit until Leon looks through the binoculars, Take out one of the guys from a distance, and when the music starts playing, everyone should start coming for you. Just run back to the entrance you came from, and they will just funnel in. Shoot them in the legs, and run up to them for the finisher to conserve ammo. Also, don't run too far from the entrance, or enemies will spawn there.

I hope this helps anyone!

>>336086909
This.

Seriously top 4 favorite games of all time. The game has a fair level of challenge but definitely some tough sections and bosses. The island is also pretty shit in level design.

I love it so much I just read this thread and re-bought it on steam even though its also on my gamecube. Good replay value too.

Fair enough, I'm not saying anything negative towards motion controls, as they may be one of the only legitimate positives towards the Wii version.

Although I can't say that with any credibility as I have never tried it.

I thought it was absolutely terrifying when I began playing, the village had an extremely oppressive atmosphere because I was expecting it to be like a classic RE game. As you keep playing it becomes invigorating as you get better and start fucking shit up. Come to think of it, this:

>RE4 = Aliens

is a good way to describe how RE4 feels.

PC and Wii versions spawn more enemies because better hardware. GC is more difficult due to aiming though.

Imo emulating the wii version is the best of both worlds because you can assign all the bullshit QTE combos to a single button.

Brotip. Punisher and submachine gun are best weapons and are infinitely fun. Bolt action is better than semi auto because it prevents tunnel vision when reloading, helping you not get hit. Standard shotgun is good enough, the other shotguns aren't really worth the pesos for upgrades. Also fuck reload speed, only upgrade power and when you need ammo upgrade ammo capacity. The special upgrades aren't really worth it, considering you get them late game anyways.

How is it better for movement? Quake or any other fast paced shooter would disagree. In fact diagonal movement isn't determined by your joystick or WASD in a PC game, it's your orientation which is determined by your mouse.

Which is way better than anything you could do with a gamepad, else PvP in MMOs would fail.

Actually, it was Capcoms fault for not sending in the extra modes in time for testing, so they had to be taken out. It was already a huge clusterfuck when the game was originally released.

Good news for people having that version on Steam though. I don't have the link right now, but the German Ultimate HD version is getting updated to include Mercenaries and Adas thing. Even if you already bought it, your version is getting the modes.
