PSA: Resident Evil 4 Remake Has a Super Specific Game-Breaking Bug

My game of the year so far and it's gonna be hard to beat, so good luck to spidey 2, ff16 or hollow knight 2

I'm surprised that Capcom hasn't. Pushed out any form of patch or issued a formal statement.

I'm not really familiar with capcom's support record. Do they commonly release and let it drift away or do they pay attention to widely reported issues and address them?

Is it futile to be waiting to pick this up in hopes that they fixes technical issues?
I want to play it, but I certainly want to play it in it best form.

@KundaliniRising333 The technical issues are minor and the game is perfectly playable and still looks really good, they are most likely saving all the big fixes for the Merc update later this week. The state of the games visuals has been blown way out of proportion mostly by those who haven't played it or DF who really exaggerated things.

How's it run on (original, not pro) ps4? Demo seemed fine but may issues elsewhere.

@Zuljaras oh dear. Pc it is then! Thanks 👍

@KundaliniRising333 What? The article is literally pointing out Capcom talking about it

Just don't start flailing the knife at that point. That's it; game is fine otherwise.

Add another bullet point to my list of reasons not to buy games day one.

Luckily, it’s a rare bug, and Capcom themselves have reported it and promised to fix it, so kudos to them for doing the right thing. The game should be awesome when I do get around to playing it.

I'm not talking about that game crash bug whatsoever. I've held off almost entirely because of the controller responsiveness issue. Along with the secondary hope they fix visual downgrades present only in the PS5 version. I don't doubt it's playable nor that those issues are minor to others or completely unnoticed.

I'm actually completely basing the hesitation on my own personal experience with it in the demo. The controls were so bad compared to most modern releases and so off putting that I could never dial it in like I can with most titles that it led me to cancel the pre order. I cant think off another modern title that that had such an input lag feeling calibration of controls that couldn't be fixed to my preferred responsiveness with dead zone and acceleration adjustments. The only other recent game that was as bad was trying to dial in saints row when my partner complained about it after we got it for her.

With re4, when I canceled the preorder, I was pretty much done and going to wait for a steep sale until I read about it and heard that the responsiveness issues are non existent with mouse and keyboard and seem to only exist with controllers. So this is a problem that can be fixed and it goes way beyond aiming being better with mouse and keyboard. Technical evaluations of the issue have shown the problems with Xbox and ps5 specifically are the equivalent to playing a game with an over 200 ms input lag. For reference most tvs with anything over like 25ms input lag is considered not great in gaming and it's why most use game mode if available which brings the lag down to below 10ms with most good tvs.

This is just one of those things where that level of sluggishness for me personally, was immediately noticeable and a largely affects my enjoyment of a game. I want to play it for sure, just not fight against it.

I was thinking maybe some fixes would come out with the merc patch as well so hopefully thats the case. Does it have ng+?

@GodofCapcom this year is going to be hella crazy!!!

@GodofCapcom At this point, I honestly believe only Silksong can take the GOTY from Capcom, assuming it's as perfect as Hollow Knight and releases this year.

@KidBoruto

I think hogwarts had a lot to improve.
