RE4 Remake is visually underwhelming

Try reading through most of the replies, my "truth" appears to be near "universal" disregarding the PC fanboys ever keen to shit on PS5/Pro, thanks for coming out though

It didn't hit me as hard as the RE2 remake, but REm4ke still objectively looks great

When I first saw trailer, yes. But when I've played the game, no.

How much better is it on PC compared to Pro? Is it really that much better?

You get an even higher version of the hair technology, way better ray tracing, can get up to 120fps, and of course can potentially do native 4K or close to depending on card. Higher textures, more foliage, etc.
Watch this on a 4K display and make sure the video is set to 4K settings, pan around. It’s amazing.

Is this a joke?
Pro version looks identical to maxed out rt pc version. Even better thanks to better aa on pro and vegetation.
Certainly looks and runs better than it did on my 3080. Or at least both are very close.

Mouse camera movement in TPS is pure eye cancer. I don't know how people can play like that.

it also released on ps4.
wait until a ps5 / xsx only release. Like RE9 . It will be alot more impressive .

It does buddy.Vick do you know if it uses pssr in res hfr mode?
But I play on regular HFR Off Resolution Mode at the locked 60fps, which doesn't use PSSR.
Would be nice if Capcom implemented RE2 and RE3 RT lighting into RE4 PC version, but even maxed out RT is limited to reflections only just like on console.
Would you mind share some more about the foliage bit? Because going off of existing comparison, the opposite appear to be the case.
Actually it doesn't, Hair Strands are higher density on PC:
And some textures are higher resolution on PC:

Ah right. I forgot the hair strands goes to high. I so have to say though, the lower setting ps5 uses with thicker strands does look good too.
And the textures difference is strange. There shouldn’t be any. I’ve finished both versions

I said some because there's an awful lot of textures that have sub-pixel microdetail in the game on PS5, you can see some of those in the screenshots I've posted, and I just don't see how those could possibly be any higher resolution.And the textures difference is strange. There shouldn’t be any. I’ve finished both versions
But the DF video show the difference is there on some others.
No big deal, the RE4R version OP played is a really good one.
How "hot" should it look like then?
It looks like most next gen games and that's mighty fine. Looks excellent especially considering it runs (mostly) at 60fps.
Those visually mind blowing games happen only like twice or thrice a generation. Given the gameplay the game heavily relies on it's not suprising they went for a 60fps experience first instead of pushing the fidelity to the max so you only get 30fps.

Nope, sorry, not following you there. It looks great and performs great on PC. Also looks awesome in PSVR2.

RE4Remake has more detailed assets, especially textures that now often use tesselation and have more depth. Character models look more detailed, there's next gen hair, and the details of the garments look incredible too, just look at this zip.
The levels are bigger and there's lots of vegetation. There are also more characters (enemies) on the sccreen. The game has prebake lighting but I think it look good most of the time. The game run very well 90-120fps on my PC at 4K native so I cant complain when games look like that and runs so well.

RT in the RE4 Remake was limited to the lake reflections and RT resolution was just 25% of the native resolution, so I cant imagine even worse looking RT. On my PC, turning on the RT in RE4R only cost me 1 fps, that's how minimal it was.
Based on PS5Pro screenshots I saw, I think the game look comparable to PC overall, but image clarity is definitely better on PC (edges are razor sharp and textures have more fine details thanks to higher internal resolution). The PS5Pro version use checkerboard rendering and also has additional post-processing AA to mitigate the checkerboard shimmer, so you get a clean looking image but not as sharp. There's almost like a haze on PS5Pro when compared to PC, but if I would game on consoles I would happy even with slighty softer 4K (RE4remake on the PS5Pro still has better image quality compared to typical PS5 games running at 60fps).
There's also a strange difference that I can't explain. In some comparison screenshots, I noticed a higher LOD's on the PS5Pro (there were definitely more branches on the PS5Pro screenshots compared to my PC screenshots, despite running the game at max settings).
To sum up, the PC version looks comparable but has a sharper image and runs at a higher framerate (90-120fps on my PC with rare dips to 70fps during some cutscenes). I wish the PC version supported DLSS as it would run at locked 120fps. There is FSR2, but it looks like crap (blurry image with insane amount of shimmering).

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
The point of console gaming is not having to tinker with anything

It looks exactly as it’s expected. Using an engine developed for lastgen machines you can’t expect to look much better than on PS4

The Gamecube version looked much better
That said I played the PC version at max settings, looked great to me though in many places you can tell where they tried to emulate the original and it doesn't work that well.
Never understood this type of thinking. Like it's clearly a backhanded complement.

Yeah but you're still hardware (display) reliant. Everytime I see someone using the "vivid" mode with oversaturated colours, sharpening artefacts and motion artefacts due to some "true motion" tech, it hurts my eyes.
Especially with HDR and HGiG these days there's actually some pitfalls with (modern) TV. As much as people like the "console" experience, with several graphics modes in many games, HDR calibration and more advanced TV tech it is not that straightforward as it was 20 years ago.

I think it looks great. But it does have quite a lot of foggy and dark/dull areas, paired with camera sway when aiming. Just make sure you're in Resolution mode with 120hz HFR off and all should look tip top.

Yeah this game looked like TRASH on the PS2.
RE4 remake graphically was fine. It was just a flash in the pan nostalgia release with no significant impact.

Remake looks great in some areas and worse in others (even worse than 2 and 3 remakes).
Game is massive, I'm still impressed what capcom was able to deliver in the time frame they had with impressive level of quality in almost every level.
Japanese devs are more efficient this gen, DF mentioned yakuza devs as game factory basically. But same is true for Capcom and few others. While western games need 5-8 years for one title.

It looks great even on base PS5, actually.

It sold millions of copies, got great reviews and made people happy. So yes, it deserved a remake.

I didn't really like the RE Engine art direction for RE4. They lost the weird fairytale feel of the original.
