Only chance is to make noise so they hear it. (It's already close to 0 but it can't hurt to try...)
That's gyro aim. There is no infrared (IR) sensor pointing at anything to make the aiming work. Hence it's not IR aim.
I don't think I've felt this let down by a game in a long time. Feels like I've been excited for the potenitial of a definitive version of RE4 for a year now (they announced them a long while back at least...) and it's just a vanilla PS4 port. It doesn't even attempt to address the issues with the HD version
Can you play Rev 2 first and then RE4 after, or will that mess up story beats?
Yeah it's really not the same. It would have been nice, but for all the technical advancements of the joycon, gyro aim will never feel like IR aim. I remember playing Revelations 2 and being surprised how bad it felt in comparison to RE4 Wii.
Yeah :'( Is there still that guy making the ridiculously high res mod on PC?
I was just wondering if you or anyone else could speak to what those existing issues are? Resident Evil 4's a hall of fame game for me, but I wasn't aware the recent HD updates had problems that needed to be addressed.
The accerlated aiming glitch which occurs whenever you shoot an explosive is still in the game, it makes your aiming go crazy
I'm also not a fan of the lighting and textures, the original had a much stronger vibe and I believe the PC release even allows you to switch back the GameCube textures - unfortunately no console port allows that.
This is pretty disappointing, and I will wait for the inevitable sale as not to pay this ridiculous price...
But PS4-version be damned, I still can't wait to play this on Switch! Will be my 4th console to play it on, and the prospect of playing in a handheld is so juicy.
Who am I kidding I'll buy it all full price tonight at midnight. Let's do it.

Ah, thanks. Seems like something that really needs to be addressed. :(
they have nothing to do with each other.
iirc they just haven't handled gyro as well as others have in those.
yes

Honestly if it's anything like the Wii version then Gyro aiming takes away from the tension and difficulty. The Wii version is pretty trivial from what I remember. It was also ugly with that big ass cursor on the screen.
That is a baffling take, considering it was incredibly well received in the Wii version and there was no "mistake" being made. Gyro aim was in both Revelations ports.
Honestly I enjoyed Re4 with motion control more than the original.
What's baffling about it? The game was not changed to accommodate pointer/motion controls, nor was it ever designed for such. It's an inferior experience from other versions because it trivializes the entire game. Unless they were make larger changes to the game, I don't think it's a feature worth including in this particular game.
Really interested in picking it up because portability would be great. The price tho, might wait on a sale
Will there be a patch to fix bugs like that accelerated aiming glitch?
Honestly, just being able to aim already makes this game disgustingly easy.
Plus flicking the wiimote to knife a dude is the best.
That's why it's a baffling take. It's not an inferior experience at all. It's an incredibly fun option to play this game.
Oh thank god. You had me scared it was worse than the PS4 version for a second. On par with PS4 is all I need. In an ideal world I'd have motion aiming, but it's still portable RE4 so it isn't a deal breaker.
Does RE4 have the option to lock the FPS to 30? Can't remember if the other console version do or not.
To me these games have to have extra content such as Nintendo costumes or alternative control schemes to justify the additional price. Should they lower the price to match others.
The Wii's pointer is what enabled my dad to play it. Normal controllers were too complex
Not surprised about lack of motion controls on RE4. I played it on GC and that was a good enough experience for me. Capcom won't be getting any of my money.

I played RE4 on 3 different systems and it was far and away most enjoyable with motion controls on Wii. You might consider it an inferior experience but everyone enjoyed it back then and people would like it now.
Not unrealistic but it also shouldn't be a huge surprise either. I mean RE4 is an older game and has never had Gyro aiming implemented before..I dont think. It's probably a lot more difficult to implement in RE4's code than it was in the Revelation games. I dont know what I'm talking about either.
Then they shouldn't have charged $10 than every platform this version of the game has been on.
Well, it is portable this time around. That's "more" I guess. Im not a big fan of the price increase either.
Man, this hot takes about "game wasn't designed for motion aiming" rubs me the wrong way.
This is like saying Halo on PC is a mistake because it was designed for a controller.
It's close to silly arguments like "this game shouldn't be 60 fps because it was designed to be played at 30".
Guess what, people loved the shit of RE4 with motion aiming. Revelations 2 also wasn't designed to have motion aiming and, shockingly, it's there in the Switch version, and it works. It's not rocket science, you don't have to design a game around gyro aiming for it to work. If the game becomes too easy with it, just turn it off. No one is forcing you to use it. Even RE4 Wii could be played with a GC controller. Knock yourself out.

You really don't though. It's had gyro-based motion controls for about 13 years now.
The IR stuff is not the same as pure gyro though, right? I mean, the pointer moved in a whole different way even IIRC. Not to say it can't be done -- it's already doable -- but they seem like two different implementations.
Are you talking about the Wii IR pointer based controls? I wouldn't call those gyro controls. If not then please clarify what version of RE4 has Gyro aiming.
Motion controls in RE4 Wii were absolutely fantastic and though it may have made the game easier, it was a really fun way to play it and made it the definitive version. The Switch version should have gyro, but to be honest even if it did it wouldn't compare to Wii's controls anway. IR pointer controls are superior to gyro.
Played through the first chapter and I'm disappointed with two things:
1. I feel like there are moments of some weird random stutter, where the framerate doesn't seem stable. Like a very small hiccup.
2. My prefered controls are the one from the original Gamecube version (Type III). But those let you only aim with R and use your knife with L, but not with LB and RB. WTF? It's pretty damn uncomfortable with the joycons this way...

Sometimes! The biggest issue with gyro is having to recalibrate it every few minutes. But RE4's unique gameplay is actually pretty much perfect for the cursor could just reset
every time you lifted the gun to aim, which would offer something truer to how the original GNC game controlled, starting off from a neutral position.
1. That sucks to hear...if there is a 30fps mode then I wonder if that would eliminate the stutter.

Yeah, the RE4 page is currently down even if you try to access through google and not my link. At least for the US page.
Has anyone else preferred the TYPE III controller configuration for the PS4 version of Resident Evil 4, but was irked that they designated the L1 shoulder button to ready the knife, and R1 to ready the gun, rather than L2 and R2 respectively?
Easily remedied thanks to the PS4's in-system Button Assignment feature, but it's my hope that they configure the knife and gun to Switch's ZL and ZR shoulders, rather than L and R.
EDIT: It sounds like KayMote may have already confirmed by fear. Dang it. =\

I remember trying everything to make RE4 Wii Edition work with a gamecube controller, if I remember correctly it wasn't as easy as simply using the on-board controller ports, the game needed to be started with a Remote/classic controller setup.
The news I can use a gamecube controller on this version is actually very interesting.
But yeah, I also want to know more about RE1....

I kind of wish they would port the original Resident Evil 1 and 2 next. I really want to try the classic versions out.
