    One of my favorite games of all time, basically masterpiece. I'm still optimistic towards the remake, even tho RE3Remake failed. Hopefully they have bigger and more dedicated team for RE4Remake. If they mess up RE4remake i will never support Capcom again.

    I was debating getting this on Steam, and I am glad I did. Controls a little clunky at first, but got used to it pretty quickly - just a fun game, has to be one of my top ten favs. If you liked this game on other systems, you won't be disappointed - well worth $20.

    One of the greatest Resident Evil games ever made made even better. Although more love and attention could have been given to improving the textures and character models, the fundamental game still looks, and plays, great.

HD release looks good as well and considering how bad the PC port of this game was it was pretty easy to top that. Whatever happens to the series we hope that it tries this once again and not the way they did with Resident Evil 6......

Some of the textures have been redone and look as good as L4D2's textures at best, so not modern standard HD at all, but nonetheless, better than previous ports. While aiming with the mouse is inferior to the Wii version, it's superior to the analog stick (depending on how much practice you put into it). Sniping heads is a breeze and the merchant's shooting ranges is laughably easy, though it's a lot more convenient to just plug in a 360 gamepad and be on your way.
    Most of the cut-scenes are in real-time, but some are low quality videos. If your PC is weak and struggles to run older games like HL2 or Portal, I don't recommend you play this, because its speed is actually tied to the frames-per-second, meaning if you use the game's locked 60fps setting and you're running 30fps, the game will run at half speed. Luckily it doesn't take a NASA computer to get 60fps. So... good port, runs great on mid hardware, looks the best, epic nostalgia, worth the 20 bucks, could use a patch for the minor issues though.

    EDIT: Mouse aiming has been patched to be responsive like other shooters. I actually prefer this over the Wii aiming. Nice! Mouse acceleration is on by default, but you can disable it via a config file.    … Expand

    One of the best games ever!!! Anyone who has trouble with mouse and keyboard controls- there is mouse mod on steam, find it under "view discussions". It makes your mouse work like RE5, so basically when you turn mouse, Leon also turns that way, basically how it should have always been. This was my biggest issue with this game, but now it's literally perfect. Hopefully remake is good.

Algunos dirán que con mods se arregla y se ve mejor que esta nueva edition, lastimosamente para mi sigue siendo una infamia, con mods y todo no deja de ser un insulto y fuera de que sigue con la ausencia del ratón y cuando una vez quería jugarlo otra vez era inestable con las nuevas versiones de Windows que en ese caso la comunidad no puede arreglar.

    As a previous reviewer has mentioned, not much needs to be said about Resident Evil 4 itself. To me RE4, although a signal of a complete change in Resident Evil, is simply one of the best survival horror games there is.

To me RE4, although a signal of a complete change in Resident Evil, is simply one of the best survival horror games there is.

    The previous PC port however, many would say, is one of the worst examples of PC port there is.

    So has Resident Evil 4 suffered another injustice with the Ultimate HD edition, or has it finally been presented the way it deserves?

    Well for starters the game looks and feels much more like a Resident Evil game - when i look back at Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 one of the first things that comes to mind is the fantastic atmosphere that was set in the game. I didn't get that same feeling with the original RE4 port - the graphics were blurry, bland and fuzzy and the lighting didn't help either. This version certainly, in most ways, successfully remedies that and makes the games atmosphere much more imposing. Not to mention that everything simply looks much more vivid and smooth. It's not up to scratch against the visuals of much more recent games of course, but it is a huge improvement over the previous offering. The smooth (in my experience) 60fps performance definitely changes the way the game feels too, especially in combat. These encounters just feel more fast paced and it certainly increases the tension as well as making the game look better. You can also now change the graphics settings to meet your own preferences.

    Does anything ruin all of this? Well for, for me, the "mouse support" is a big disappointment. You seem to only be able to use the mouse to look (although you are able to ready, aim and shoot using the mouse) not to turn, it often leads to the camera not moving in motion with you, but worse it means that you still turn slowly (although you can easily do a 180 using the keyboard) and doesn't bring the quickness and accuracy that, to me, is the whole point of bringing mouse support to the game. If you're using an Xbox 360 controller this won't bother you - but even when using this the controls still seem somewhat stiff and clumsy - it seems they didn't work much on this area at all.

    To summarise, the improvement in graphics and performance this updated version brings are very welcome and is closer to what this legendary game deserves. But if you were hoping for an improvement in the controls you may be disappointed.    … Expand

    - The balance of difficulty. The game is not too hard to play, at the same time there are challenges. Even closer to the end the game still may surprise and force the player to be more cautious. The ammo is only gained through the enemies and the stash you may find on the map. No buying stuff.
    - Cut scenes. Just iconic stuff.
    - Dialogues. Great lines. Never boring.
    - Style. It's that iconic RE style inherited later by the Evil Within. The story, something happening behind the scenes, the horror and struggle of the protagonists.
    - "Separate Ways" makes you feel there are two games in one. And it is great.

    Cons.:
    - The game doesn't have many cons except the main one: to run on Windows 10 on PC you need to find the software (not Gidosato, other soft you may find in the threads) to decrease your display refresh rate to 60 Hz. On the default 120 Hz. Otherwise, the game won't launch. It's a bummer. The developers could fix it themselves ages ago.
    - The game seems overextended at some point. You feel: "Ok, now we're finally done." But you're wrong. You have 30% more. So, you're getting tired of it.    … Expand

Вот решил написать про четверку. Играл конечно в простую версию, а не в Ultimate HD Edition, тогда такого небыло ещё. Давно это было.
    Playstation 2 у меня тогда не было, GameCube тем паче, поэтому проходил на PC. Конечно я слышал про серию, но играть в неё не хотел, просто визуально не нравилась. И вдруг узнал, что вышла некая супер-пупер игра Resident Evil 4. Решил попробовать. Но к сожалению выяснилось, что без геймпада играть в неё нельзя. Пошёл на рынок, купил. Но запустив увидел, что в игре напрочь отсутствуют тени. Пришлось искать мод с тенями.
    И вот наконец запустил. Да слухи оказались правдивы. В игре было всё и закрученный сюжет, и после мода неплохая графика, не плохой шутинг (привыкнуть надо, но ничего), ну а боссы в игре на то время просто сногсбающие. Даже простые зомби реагировали по физике на поподания.
    Игра была увлекательна, даже иногда пугающе увлекательна. Никогда не забуду как Биторес Мендез, после моего входа в сарай, материализовался у Леона за спиной. Чуть кирпичи не отложил.
    Вообще игра просто покоряла своей атмосферой. Виды игры завораживали: готический замок, деревня, военная база и т. д. Кстати Village на четверку этим очень похожа, может и в этом тоже её успех?
    Короче Resident Evil 4 это не просто игра, это целая эпоха подобных игр. Ведь все последующие Residentы, кроме седьмой и восьмой частей, это лишь не очень удачные попытки быть похожей на ту самую четверку, а сколько сторонних игр пошли по этому пути и не сосчитать.
    Кое-что в игре мне не очень понравилось. Как то стрельба, к ней надо долго привыкать. Про передвижение можно сказать то же. Но это болезни старых консолей, без них ни как.
    Конечно игра сейчас выпущена и перевыпущена на целой горе платформ. Но нужен ремейк, настоящий ремейк. Скоро должен выйти ремастер для VR, но это не то. Ведь выпустили великолепный Resident Evil 2 Remake, надо только собраться и сделать такой же, а желательно ещё лучше, для Resident Evil 4.

    New features in gameplay compared to other previous games in the series: Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3.

    Engaging plot, the story takes place in a Spanish village. The enemies are zombies and people who are part of a hidden sect.

    New challenges and puzzles. Game difficult and requires training.

    I could care less if Resident Evil 8 comes out or not. I don't like first-person resident evil. I want Remake of RE4. Re4 is (at least to me) one of the greatest video games ever made. I have finished it over 30 times and i continue to play it for the rest of my life.

    To me Resident Evil 4 belongs into Top 3 Best Video Games Ever Made list. I like this game for many reasons. It holds up in time and still beats many modern video games. People need to keep in mind that it came out January 2005, so basically it was actually 2004 game. It was made in 2003-2004 and finished in 2004.

Absolutely no game from 2004 can compete with Resident Evil 4. It's fair, if someone's be all end all is "Half-Life 2" (2004), but for me personally Resident Evil 4 takes all the awards that could ever exist.
    I'm worried and extremely hyped for remake at same time. It's rumored to be shown summer 2021 and released early 2022, but nothing is confirmed. I just hope that after disappointing RE3 Remake they learn from mistakes. Overall, RE2 Remake was well done, so i know, if they really want, they can do it. My only wish is that they wouldn't remove ANY bosses. Every boss in RE4 matters. Overall it's one my favorite games of all time and i have finished it over 30 times, highly recommended.    … Expand

    Yahoo! I've been waiting for RE4 to come to the Xbox 360. I have it on the WI but that controller/numchuck combo is a pain to use. The level in RE4 where you fight the zombie with the white spots you have to shoot in the lab is still the scariest moment in gaming history, IMO.

    However, not everything is as good as announced.
    On budget computers, you can often find a bug with a slowmotion at 60fps in the game. Also, not all textures were reworked in the "Ultimate HD Edition". The textures of the dirt, trees, houses, surroundings, static objects and characters remained the same, although better than in the PS2 version of the game. Also in the chapter with Del Lago you can see crooked aiming in a boat with a harpoon (mouse aiming).
    In any case, the "Ultimate HD Edition" is the most comfortable version to play on PC due to extended support for keyboard and mouse control and some reworked textures.    … Expand

    I have pretty conflicting feelings about this game. When I played it originally on the PS2 around 2005, I loved this as much as RE1-3 because I felt it brought a lot of new gameplay and game design elements to the series without straying from its roots. Since I haven't played it in about a decade at this point, this was almost a new experience for me to replay it and I have to say: itI have pretty conflicting feelings about this game. When I played it originally on the PS2 around 2005, I loved this as much as RE1-3 because I felt it brought a lot of new gameplay and game design elements to the series without straying from its roots. Since I haven't played it in about a decade at this point, this was almost a new experience for me to replay it and I have to say: it hasn't aged well. Resident Evil 4 is hard to recommend in the current year; if you can tolerate some older game mechanics and unintentional cheesiness, you will enjoy the experience but it definitely isn't for everyone.

    The biggest game design issue I have with the game are surprisingly the controls. While I loved the tank controls in RE1-3, they feel out of place in a third person shooter. Leon always feels stiff and slow, as if you're steering a bowling ball instead of the Hollywood action hero the game thinks he is. Two control methods are available but neither really fixes this problem. "Classic" controls are the way the game controlled back in 2005: tank movement with mouse aiming and your POV locked to your aiming or movement direction. "Modern" controls acts like a twin stick system, with freedom of movement with WASD and camera/aiming independently being done with the mouse. I would normally prefer the Modern system but there is no camera snap/reset option available. This makes movement very frustrating because you have to constantly aim the camera manually while walking around. Coming from games heavily inspired by RE4, Dead Space 1 & 2, the default controls feel really archaic and the modern controls feel unnecessarily clunky and cumbersome. I don't expect the original game released before DS1 & 2 to have better controls than its "predecessor" but I would expect a "Modern" control scheme to function with better nuance.

    Apart from the molasses controls, you still have the original RE4 experience here along with your post-game padding. Replaying RE4's Leon story in 2017 feels like two separate games; Up until the Salazar fight, the game's atmosphere is much more survival horror-esque but feels aimless and meandering. Salazar's fight feels like something out of Code Veronica, after which the game completely jumps the shark and is practically a different game. If I could just replay the B-movie absurdity of the post-Salazar campaign I would replay it almost annually like RE2 & 3. Unfortunately (possibly because I beat it 3 times previously) half of this game is a cheeseable snoozefest thanks to the RPG-7 and the ever-present Merchant & overly frequent saves.

    RE4 is still a good game worth playing in 2017, but in hindsight I now prefer RE2 & RE3 for annual replays. Much of this game feels like padding and without better controls it is frustrating to play. I would still recommend it to fans of the series but only once you're tired of replaying RE1-3. The HD upgrades have improved it visually but there aren't enough new enhancements to make this worth purchasing again if you already own it on another platform.    … Expand

    A simple story, but with a lot of background and a very good narrative. I'm glad to see Leon and Ada again.
    The bosses are defiant and some enemies give real terror.

    In the gameplay is the more than known shoulder camera that characterizes this video game. A bit complicated at first, but then it feels like a glove to the video game.

    Sadly the final score has to be lower than originally expected, at least until the developers can fix the issues. Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is essentially the great PC version we've been waiting for all these years, it is priced quite reasonably and, under normal conditions, I would recommend the game wholeheartedly to fans of the series and newcomers alike, but not until all the bugs have been squashed. Until then, keep your money in your pockets.

    Resident Evil 4 is still one of the best games ever made, but less-than-ideal mouse and keyboard controls and a barely noticeable texture upgrade keep this PC port from being the ultimate version of this masterpiece that it could have been.
