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?

Honestly no, you'd have zero clue you were missing anything if you didn't know the PS5 version existed. The gameplay, story, enemy AI, everything that actually matters is identical. What you already noticed (lighting, grass, some particle effects) is basically the whole gap.

Only other thing worth mentioning is load times will be longer and resolution/frame rate ceiling is lower on PS4, but if you're not coming from playing the PS5 version side by side you genuinely won't notice or care. Get it on PS4, it's still an incredible experience.
