Capcom, you're doing great lately! ...but can you please fix the RE4 Switch icon? Pretty please?

I wouldn't normally complain about something like this, but it's yet another small detail that supports the narrative that this will be an incredibly low-effort port.
Which now has me thinking - wasn't PS4/XB1 port of this also kind of bad? I seem to remember it having shimmering textures like it's on PS2.
*edit* Yep, this is some LOL-worthy level of texture treatment on the ground in PS4/XB1 versions:

Also, their image comparison tool is a painful reminder that the GC/Wii version of the game still somehow has the best overall coloration. It's as if it had filmic color grading that was completely removed from all other versions made after.

I believe that those Gamecube/Wii specific effects etc were using Nintendo specific APIs that haven't been available on any other system (and I imagine that would include Switch).
Send me your Switch plus 200 bucks and I'll hack it and replace the icon with this new one:

Yes I know it's RE2 Leon but it's a work in progress. Give me a month or two and I'll add a 4 somewhere.
They might as well make it consistent with the newer release by using some of the REmake 2 assets. Like this
Whatever the reason is, my semi-serious theory was that they've used PS2 version of the game for every port made after. Maybe not as a code base reuse - but as a visual reference.
100 percent. It's nuts how this happens.And as is always the case with these things, they've already made a better icon for the game's website. They could've just reused this.

No retail release in any region, as far as we know no inclusion of gyro aim support that was in the Wii version and the two Switch versions of Rev 1+2 ...
RE4 is still RE4 but Capcom is otherwise just fucking this one up on all fronts, from what it looks like.
Because it looks bad next to all the other games with text in the logos

What bothers me about the icon is it's without logo, but the fact it's the animation of the logo taken when it fades is. Why? Why would any designer go for such an effect? Either don't or go all the way, this is just terrible.
It's better, but I'd give my right arm for having that PAL GameCube cover an the icon.

YES!

My avatar is a work of art, you're basically trying to vandalize the Louvre!
That's like if the port came out with no sound and the excuse was that the original game used Nintendo's proprietary audio codec. Ports always have to re-implement effects to work with different hardware. It's part of the process. The only thing stopping them from having the correct colors and effects was their own willingness to implement them correctly.
The price will go down soon anyway, but the Icon could stay forever...
As I pointed out in the main thread
This is not something designed as standalone art. It is literally the first frame of an animation.

I would be upset if I paid $29.99 and saw this pop up on my homescreen.

I don't know how I should feel considering I helped add on to the Frankenstein's monster that is Neiteio's avatar
I have the Pal special edition GC box with this on it. So good.

Bad design is also not adhering to the design guidelines, which specifically state that all Switch icons should contain the name of the game in the icon.
Not surprised that Capcpom can't follow rules, but perhaps they were just afraid of misspelling the title.
