Resident Evil 4 has finally come to PC...

Quote from Section_Ei8ht

Um, the game isnt even out yet for PC. Those "comparison shots" are from a leaked beta that started appearing on torrent sites about three days ago. From what I hear, this leaked version does not support a mouse yet, just a keyboard. Some loser release group got ahold of the leak, schlacked on a quick windows gui for control configuration, applied their own serial (which is pointless because their nfo gives you their applied serial) and faked it as the real deal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have not seen anywhere from anyplace official saying the game is released on PC nor have I seen the game on shelves. Wait before you criticize, because what you're seeing is a release groups childish attempt at getting street credit for a modified beta leak that they're passing of as the final build.

[edit]I did a little digging. Found out that this version seems to be the Japanese port of RE4 officially called Biohazard 4. BH4 apparently has been circulating the asian underground for the last 2 years and is just now making its way to EU and NA. Yeah, those threads have nothing to do with the Ubisoft produced Resident Evil 4 for PC.

I SO HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT =)

Ohh ty MJ I've been looking for a software like that for quite sometime, my 9yr old game-port joystick doesn't work on my soundcard/mobo combo. Been looking something that can emulate a joystick using the mouse. Tried it with Richard Burns rally , MS Flight Sim 2004. Works well, thanks!

section ei8ht i thought the game would be out in japan?

It is. BH4 is 2 years old and from what I gathered, runs on a special built PS2 emulator built just for BH4. BH4 just never made its way to European and American torrent sites until a few days ago.

The Japanese version is the one that they are using for the comparison shots. We are not getting the Japanese version as our RE4 (Well, we very well could be, but no one knows, all I'm saying is, save your worrying until the game is actually in store shelves, or there is at least a demo that you can download direct from Ubisoft's site. The linked thread tells us nothing.).

the screenshots shown on that link look normal to me. Perhaps they added in better lighting now? instead of just fullbright!

Buy the GC version for $10 and play it on your Wii

wow, was thinking about getting it, pfft, not anymore.

sorry for bumping such an old thread but i have kind of a personal vendetta going here ...

so i read today on evil avatar that RE 4 gets release don the pc TODAY in the usa

http://www.evilavatar.com/

and they link to a web page called

http://www.gametab.com/pc/resident.evil.4/5291/

have a close look on those screenshots

seams like lighting fog and moody special effeckts are back in ?!

did someone on that page just rip some gameucbe version screen shots ?! or is what all people say pre-release hysteria bullshit after all ?!??!?!

I'm sure I read something about a patch that fixed the lighting and other obvious issues.

There was a post-release patch that brought back the much-needed environment effects, but I'm not sure how much it actually restored. That is, the GC version may have effects and whatnot that were infeasible to port properly. It doesn't seem as smooth as the GC version anyway, although that's probably because most of us would have played it on a non-HD CRT television that hid most of the flaws and just made it look like smooth beauty.

Edit: Assholed by Reno again!!

if there is a patch than "i am TEH I3UY"

yes the patch is very real, it does what it promised, and i've seen it.

Cutscenes are still video though.

I'd buy this if they sorted out the mouse control. Why on earth would a PC game ship without mouse control in this day and age? D:

mouse IS sorted out by finallY (chinese coder of the evilmod)
