I'm having a hard time playing RE4 with anything other than the gamecube controller

Change into the third option in the control settings. They screwed up the controls in the current gen version.
Though they did screw up the dead zone in the PS2 version and it has been like that since. Even if you somehow plug in a gsme cube controller it will be the same in the ccurrent version.

It is the best way to play. The game was fully designed around the GC controller. The HD version aiming suffers thanks to the deadzone.
The Wii version is my preferred way to play but this. I found myself having a hard time playing it on PS4.
I can't believe we finally got a Resi 4 port for Switch, the same system where there's a Resi Revelations port with gyro aiming, and we can't gyro aim on RE4. I honestly lost interest because of it. It's how I played RE4 for the first time that way, and I don't think I can go back.
OP
OP
I'm playing it on Switch right now and it seems like Leon's hand shakes way more when aiming than I remember from the GC. Is that related to the deadzone?
I sucked it up last week and adapted to the PS4 version.
I've still got it, the bottle caps don't lie!
But yes it definitely felt a bit off.

Not sure, since i don't have a way to check that right now but it could be because of the game being 60fps on the Switch. Some things unfortunately are a bit broken in the game when it is played at that framerate. I seem to remember that this was a bug that affected some players on the PS4 as well and i'm not sure if that has been fixed.
Even the Ultimate HD edition has some bugs on the PC that the original version didn't, like broken lightning in some scenes which gives the game a slight yellowish tint and that luckily has been fixed with the HD fan mode that is being developed right now.
Agreed OP. I played the game back on the GameCube and Wii, and couldn't bring myself to play with the Wii gyro aiming despite reading about how much better it is.
Good thing we can still play RE4 on Wii and Switch with a GameCube controller.

I never actually played RE4 on GameCube. The first time I played it was on Wii and that's still the best way to play imo. I've played on PC and Switch and they don't compare.
Huh, the frame rate bump causing would it make sense, because it's a very fast wobble. It's really made the shooting gallery a pain in the ass.
I've been playing it on Switch and the aiming immediately did feel different. I kept wondering if the controls had changed, or if the Wii Edition precision had overwritten the GC controls in my muscle memory, or if my reflexes had softened over time, but I felt like I kept overshooting my aim way more, constantly fiddling, and wasting a lot of bullets in the process.
The fact that Capcom has yet to un-break the deadzones, which completely breaks fine aiming in a game that demands that you can shoot some enemies in their left eye, is ridiculous.
Just play it on GameCube or Wii (with GameCube controller). It's the only way to play this game IMO.

I haven't tried the Switch version extensively, but the dead zone on the PS4 and Xbox ports isn't as smooth as the GC original.
On Xbox one it's outstandingly bad actually. Unsure how different ports end up with different dead zones when ported from the same base but here we are.
I want to go so far as to say even playing the Wii version with the GC controller feels off.
For all intents and purposes *technically* RE4 on GC is still the best way to play it if you want to be absolutely precise and not acclimate to the newer styles.
I'm with you OP. Im way too accustomed to the GC when playing RE4. There is Something about the controls for RE4 on the GameCube controller that felt right for me. The button layout for each input feels so natural.
I still think the game plays best on Wii, even if that's not the most technically accomplished version of the game. PC would be second, if using a regular controller.
You can set up gyro aiming too, if you like.
There's no fix for the poor mouse control though (but it can be improved over the default by changing it to "modern" aiming).
Yes, but you can fix it with Steam Input's anti-deadzone feature:

I might have to check this out... I never thought of the anti-deadzone feature but using that I might be able to get re4 PC to actually be on par with the GCN version!I still think the game plays best on Wii, even if that's not the most technically accomplished version of the game.

I feel the same way but with the Wii mote, I've played it a ton of different ways now but it will always be my preference
I've played RE4 on every platform it has been released on, and I am here to report that a gamecube and tube tv are still 100% the best way to play it. It controls and looks better.
Yeah Wii controller is the superior way to play the game, but I'd actually say the gamecube controller is the second best.
I'm impressed you even managed to relearn Smash without the GC controller. Couldn't do it, had to buy an adapter. Love my WaveBird.
The great thing about the Wii version is that it supports the GCN controller anyway; so if you want to play the extra content with the original controls, you can.
That being said, the Wii controls are so amazing that I simply wouldn't want to play the game without them anyway.

Has anyone tried GC controller on the Switch port through the official adapter?
Also there are still no gyro controls in this port? :(

The controller isn't the problem. It would be far better with modern controllers if deadzones weren't so badly programmed with the game.
Played the Xbox one version on gamepass for a bit and couldn't stand it, deadzones made me legit angry. Then I remembered I had it on PS4 and played that, and although the deadzones are still there it wasn't as bad as the Xbox version and could at least enjoy the game. Xbox version was unplayable for me, I couldn't aim for my life.
The NiGHTS into dreams port is another case of "I don't understand what's so hard about mapping the analog stick correctly"

Resident Evil 4 is meant for one controller and one controller only.
post the right one, at least :)
