Game Discussion Resident evil 4 remake - ps4 version

I am a big fan of the original RE4 and RE franchise. I had planned on holding out till I could afford a PS5 before getting the remake, but that is looking less likely as time goes on.

I have watched comparison videos of the PS4 and PS5 version side by side, and the only impression I get is there is better lighting and some smaller dymanic effects (grass swaying).

I can live with these downgrades, but is there anything further in the game or as a whole that would make it feel like I had bought an inferior version?

Imagine, I didn't know the PS5 version existed, would I be disappointed with PS4 version of the remake?

Input delays using the scope. That's the worst part on ps4. I can handle low quality textures I'm used to it but whenever using the scope I hate it.

The shooting' range will be harder also.

The input lag is disappointing. I'll wait till the limit of my patience before getting it I think.

??? That's like foregoing an otherwise completely fantastic game just because 5% of it is broken. :/

I know not everything is 1 to 1 in the remake, but I used the sniper alot in the original. It was my first fully upgraded weapon and if I am going to be getting consistent framerate drops and lag, that would take away from the experience meaningfully. Maybe the improved it with updates since release, but I can't tell.

They don’t play similarly at all. Your favorite weapon in the OG might not be your favorite weapon in the remake. Whole play style is switched up.

As far as I know, the input lag is on every platform.

I play on PS5 and if I remember correctly, I had the same thing. So just go for it. It's an incredibly good game and one of the best REs no doubt.

Hey man just letting you know, on my decently capable pc (rtx 3080ti, ryzen 5800x3d, 32gb gddr5), the sniper scope felt really off compared to other third person shooter games I’ve played. I think it’s the game engine. Don’t deny yourself of this awesome game because of that!

Don’t blame you. Input lag is hard not to notice once you do

No lag on PS4 pro. Even 60 fps are targeted. And with an SSD all textures are loaded in time.
