Best Resident evil game by a mile, it featured ahead of it's time graphics, unique over the shoulder camera (Before everyone else stole it). Great gameplay, upgradable weapons, decent music score. This game was a masterpiece.

Only a gooseberry wouldn't recognize it :p in fact so good was this game that it gets a HD remake in 2014, and will probably be a lot better than many of the other games released this year..

"Resident Evil 4 Steam/PC FAQ

Q: What are the available graphics options?
A: RE4 is optimized for 1920x1080 at 60fps. Anything beyond 1080p has not formally been tested but we have seen it perform fine on 2560x1600, 2560x1440 and 1920x1200. The game will also have anti-aliasing up to 8X, three shadow quality settings, HD/SD texture quality toggle and one other "fun" option we'll keep to ourselves for now. Tinkerers will also find other graphics options that work best for them :)


Q: I hear the game now natively supports mouse controls How does it work?
A: Traversal: Mouse movement will be used to free-roam camera view during traversal while WASD keys controls character movement on the map (keys are remappable).

Shooting mechanics: Hold down the right-click button to enter aim mode. During aim-mode, mouse movement will be used to control the laser pointer. Simply point the laser to the desired target and tap left-click to fire. Same for knifing - hold Space bar and tap left-click. Really simple.


Q: What customization options are available in the game?
A: Control options wise, it will have the following:
1. Custom key binding per action for keyboard users
2. Three preset control schemes for gamepad users
3. Inverted aim ON/OFF
4. Mouse acceleration ON/OFF
5. Mouse sensitivity 1 ~ 30
6. game pad vibration ON/OFF


Q: What version of RE4 is the new Steam version based on?
A: It's based on the Xbox 360 version, which in turn is based on the GameCube / Wii versions.


Q: Why is the game 15GB when past versions were much smaller?
A: About 11GB of the data is the game itself. 1.6GB are the original SD textures, leaving roughly 5GB for the HD texture pack.


Q: Can v-sync be turned on/off?
A: A number of other undocumented graphics settings can be tweaked via config.ini, but these functions are not officially supported by Capcom. Use at your own risk.


Q: What is the maximum frame rate?
A: The in-game menu provides two options - Fixed 30fps and Fixed 60fps


Q: Screen seems too bright/dark. Can it be adjusted?
A: Yes, there is a slider in the menu that allows you to fine-tune the brightness level.


Q: Are the cutscenes realtime or pre-rendered movie files?
A: Only the "Separate Ways" cutscenes are movie files. The rest of the game cutscenes are realtime.


Q: What are the available controller options?
A: The game supports full mouse/keyboard control as well as XInput-based devices such as the Xbox 360 game pad. Inventory management is also done via keyboard or game pad.


Q: When will I receive my pre-purchase bonus content?
A: The digital soundtrack and digital archives will be available on launch day (Feb 28 2014)


Q: I'm a huge RE4 fan! Tell me more about the Pre-purchase bonus content. What exactly is included?
A: Soundtrack: The soundtrack comes from a two-disc CD compilation sold in Japan. It's sampled at 320kbps/48Hz in MP3 format for maximum compatibility while keeping file size manageable for your portable device. Disc 1 "Darkness Side" contains 32 tracks while Disc 2 "Aggressive Side" includes 30 tracks. All in all, 140+ minutes for your listening pleasure.

Full Color Digital Archive: The 80+ page Digital Archive is not your typical art book. It comes from our 'Resident Evil Archives' Volume II encyclopedia published and sold by our friends at BradyGames. We've taken the best parts from the Archives featuring Resident Evil 4 characters, creatures, story, concept art, and more! Love the Resident Evil lore and want to know more? Check out Volume 1 covering events taking place between 1960 ~ 1998 while Volume 2 covers year 2002 through 2009.


Q: Are there achievements and trading cards?
A: Yes to both; the former are based on the Xbox 360 Achievements.


Q: I heard rumors of the German version being censored. Is this true?
A: No. RE4 fans in Germany can enjoy RE4 in it's full, uncensored g(l)ory. However, Assignment Ada and Mercenaries unfortunately is not included in the German version. Separate Ways, Movie Viewer, and Ada's Report ARE included and unlockable.

As an aside, the Hand Canon becomes available when you beat the main story in Professional difficulty while completing Separate Ways unlocks the Chicago Typwriter.


Q: There's a thriving modding community for the previous PC version. Any plan for Workshop support in this version?
A: There are no plans to add Steam Workshop given technical challenges working with legacy code from 2005. At the same time, we will not stop modders from toying around with the Steamworks edition. Modding is not supported by Capcom, so play at your own risk.


Q: Do you have any plans to support DirectX 10, 11, and beyond?
A: No. The game does not use nor require advanced functions offered through DX10/11. The game will utilize DirectX 9.0c for maximum OS compatibility."

Interesting turn of events Capcom are actively moderating their RE storepage forum now. Anyone posting buy it somewhere else cheaper gets deleted :eek:
Also some have had their these HD textures suck posts deleted as well :(

"Hi guys, just a warning. These "buy it from XYZ it's much cheaper!" threads will be insta-deleted going forward.

It's akin to walking into a GameStop store and screaming "Hey guyz, BestBuy across the street has it for half price, don't waste your money here! Follow me this way!!"
It doesn't make a difference from Capcom's perspective since we still receive same share of revenue from all distributors, but please be mindful about the retailers (Valve included) who are still running a business.

I know you want help like-minded fans to have the best possible price for a given game (I would too, as a consumer!), but please keep such discussions/heads-up private or discuss on platform-agnostic sites like fatwallet, slickdeals, neogaf, etc. Not on the retailer's own discussion forum ;)

This thread will be deleted later. Thanks! "

They should be grateful some are probably rebuying this for the 5th or 6th time.

Nothing wrong with this at all. Steam have obviously had a word and Capcom/moderators are complying with their wishes.

Before I buy this I want to see how much of a touch up it's actually had, I'm not going to pay £14.99 for it either considering I've already played it to death on Playstation 2, as well as completing the "HD" versions on 360 and PS3. I expect it'll be in the summer sale at 75% off or something, might hold off until then.

Definitely interested in this. I bowed out from Resi Evil franchise after 2 and that awful light gun game. Then I decided to try it out again years later with 5 which was pretty bad too. Always heard good things about 4
