Resident Evil 4 SD & HD Comparison [Jan 24, 2014, 09:56 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Capcom Unity offers side-by-side comparisons of the original Resident
Evil 4 and Resident Evil 4 HD, the
recently announced improved edition
of the survival/horror sequel, which is coming to Windows PCs next month. They
show the impact of the game's new high definition textures compared to the
cruder look of the original, saying users can switch on the fly between SD and
HD graphics via a menu toggle. They also note that for those with high-end
systems, extreme resolutions are available, if not officially supported: "And
while 1920x1080 is the official supported resolution, you can crank things up to
2560x1600 or 2560x1440 if ya like - though be aware these aren't formal
suggestions so performance isn't assured. We've had it running great at those
sizes, but stick to 1920x1080 for optimal Plagas punishment." They also
offer links to this
trailer of the HD edition, showing it cranking along at 60 frames per
second.

A direct link to an mp4? Man, they really went all out this time.
I am quite aware, even with the patch the game was still missing tons of lighting effects from the gamecube version.

had missing lighting effects
you do know they released a patch that fixed that.

The most important question to me is whether this game supports mouse aim. They've already confirmed that there's no mouse support in the inventory screen. I need to know if there's mouse support when I'm looking around and aiming.
Agreed. I really hope they add proper mouse support.

quite a few of their earlier posted shots of the HD version show LOTS of texture stretching on anything that isnt a figure. AKA they are cherry picking screenshots.
Fun game in any case.
It's likely they are just upping the resolution of the textures, not reskinning anything, so any texture misalignments, stretching, etc. that was there originally is still going to be there in this version.
Well its coming to PC, so the modders will make it look even betterer.
What is the point of saying this is hi def.... when the textures look like azz????

they're comparing the old PS2 port to PC version with their new GameCube port to PC one. what a joke!
No they're not, you can toggle between both HD and original textures within the game...
I think people are forgetting that this is a game from 2005, of course it's going to look dated.
But even better, it looks miles better than the previous PC port even with mods, which had missing lighting effects that made Leon basically superimposed with the same shade of gray wherever he went. There was also lower polygon count.

No thanks, Capcom. If you're not removing GFMFWL from your various titles, I don't see why I should give you any more money.
Because this game doesn't use GFWL and Capcom hasn't used GFWL since Operation Raccoon City?

The Steam page says "Native keyboard and mouse support with customizable key binding, mouse sensitivity, and mouse acceleration settings."
Please don't give Capcom money unless its for Dragon's Dogma 2 
I couldn't watch the video, really, because it would buffer for about five seconds at a time.

The release says full game controller support, what more do you want? DDR pad support?
Thanks for the info
No problem, sorry for the snarkiness, sometimes this place rubs off on ya

Okay, the textures look a bit better... although I do like the old boards one better. Mostly because it makes it look okay, where with the sharper textures all I see is the squareness of all the objects. See HD dosn't mean you just use high res textures. It means you would go back and add more polys to the models to make everything smoother WITH the new textures so they don't look more out of place.
Ohh yea, I love how the tree is updated, but the fence to the side of it isn't. I'm sure after the coffee kicks in I might find more.
