Game does feel like REmake2 but fast tho. The weapons feel weak. Even when you explode a head it feel like you are shooting a bb gun.

Killed the chainsaw guy and all i got were some pesetas. Wtf Capcom.

 

I better get a ruby in the full game or I riot.

It gives money because that's the "score" in the demo, which is how you're graded at the end.

It's basically just the original Gamecube demo. Which was also from leaving truck to the bell ringing. Exact same thing. It's a nearly 20 year throwback to a preview disc very fond to many of us!

[BloodyHell]

I had weird stutter while turning on PC. steady 120 frames locked in, walk straight fine, but it gets  weird when I turn. Didn't try with a mouse, just series X controller. 

 

Overall, super excited to play this. I knew exactly when to expect when I saw "Chainsaw Demo" and was extremely ready for it!

[Dodger]

I tried to play the “original” that was on last gen consoles and holy shit the controls suck. I haven’t even found the shotgun in the demo but I’ve only tried it a couple times.

I had nostalgia on my side, but I really enjoyed the OG remaster. 

[best3444]

I was extremely impressed with the demo. It definitely didn't look washed out or "blurry" and it actually looked fucking great! I thought the gun play was tight and had great impact. Great stuff.

I'm assuming you played it in the 30 FPS mode, because there's no way in hell a human could think it didn't look blurry in FPS mode.

I preferred to play it with mouse and keyboard which is pretty rare for me for like a console designed third person shooter thing.

Downloaded and played a little bit of the demo. My goal was to get to the chainsaw guy and let him kill Leon. I leave satisfied

From the front or the back?

[Xbob42]

Holy shit, more secrets to be found. There's a goddamn TMP!

 

Spoiler

Discard ALL items in your inventory after beating the guy in the basement, then run all the way to the well in the village without picking up ANYTHING and it'll be open!

(There'll also be a bunch of ammo and the knife from RE7's kitchen demo I believe! "Kitchen Knife")

Secrets like this feel like a Sheng Long level style of secret you'd read about back in the day.

[Xbob42]

It also makes clearing Mad Chainsaw significantly easier! Damn thing has some power behind it!

[Bacon]

What causes the bell to ring? I don't get why it rings early sometimes and other times I can be in there for what feels like 10 minutes.

 

Also, anyone want to gift this to me lol

for real tho buy it for me now

[Bacon]

I'm also giga looking forward to the knife fight boss

[Bacon]

Oh I didn't know this but your little knife icon will glow on your hud by the ammo count when you can parry a villager.

I think there is a kill limit around 10 in the final area maybe.

[best3444]

I'm gunna play the demo again that's how much I liked it! Like I said, I scheduled off work for this.

Front. I wanted Leon to see it coming.

[Zaku3]

I do like this Leon but still #notmyleon.

 

RE4 HD fails the ultrawide test with flawless wide screen. Not sure what's causing it but there is a stutter to the in game cutscenes. I am using the HD mod. Gonna try it without the widescreen fix and see if that resolves the issue. 

 

Ah ok I think it's shader stutter.

 

Edit: Gonna get high and beat the game on normal and pro after.

On Standard, it's kills or time. As in, you can hit a certain number of kills (I think it was 15 in the original) or you can stall for time.

 

On Mad Chainsaw, it seems to be whenever you kill chainsaw boy + a minimum amount of time. (I killed him pretty quick once but died because I thought the bell would instantly ring but despite making 2 full laps around the village it didn't, I took a lot longer a different time and it rang as his dying animation started.)

I actually did the same thing and installed RE4 HD last night! Rather than flawless widescreen, hit F1 to use RE4_tweak's built-in widescreen support, including adjusting the FOV. I'm assuming you hit yes when it asked if you wanted re4_tweaks, as it's almost an essential companion to the HD mod, if not you can just download it separately off github or whatever. There's lots of little fixes and tweaks in there that make it great.

 

Also be sure to turn off the in-game motion blur setting, as all it seems to do is make the entire image ghost weirdly as things move, looks like total ass.

Fixed for the 90% of games this is true for.

I think per-object motion blur looks amazing. Camera motion blur always sucks but this is like a special kind of suck. It's not motion blur at all.

[stepee]

I wish games always made it clear in options which type of motion blur it is because I usually turn it off first thing along with CA and film grain but I don’t want to turn it off if it’s per object.

It's worse when it's both in a single option. One is terrible and one is great!

What about Depth of Field?

Depends on the game.

[Greatoneshere]

I always turn off film grain, motion blur, etc since I don't know if it's per object or not.

[Bacon]

Yeah, I turn off all that shit. DoF depends.

[Xbob42]

I always look at the game before I turn any of it off. Gotta see if it looks like shit or not! Well, aside from film grain and camera motion blur. If your game has no reason to add film grain and you add it anyway you're a fucking psychopath.

[Bacon]

Mass Effect on the 360 was the first time I learned what film grain was. I was wondering why the citadel looked fuzzy. I didn't notice it in darker or colorful areas, but the bright, pure white citadel? Oof I hated it.

[Xbob42]

"We've finally entered the HD era! What effect can we use to really make use of this new clarity?"
 

"What if we just made the whole screen look like fuzzy shit"
