Widescreen Gaming Forum

This would be an ideal game to add PROPER widescreen support to. The Gamecube version is already letterboxed, but sadly, stays letterboxed on a widescreen monitor. The PS2 version has proper widescreen support, but the visuals aren't nearly up to par with the Gamecube version. And we all know that the PC is easily capable of reproducing Gamecube-level graphics. Will Capcom deliver the goods?

I have the gamecube version but the letterboxed format annoys me a lot!

Id love to see a pc version! First resident evil i ever played was on the PC :) One of the first 3D card only games! I think it supported 3dFX, rendition, and the matrox mystique :)

I will get it if it comes to pc. I have only played Resident Evil on the playstation. I haven´t even played RE 4 so it would be nice if it comes to pc.

Resident Evil 4 is the Highest Ranked game ever on Gamespot if i'm not mistaken.
Maybe worth the try if they really bring it to the pc.

It definitely is coming to PC... Gamestop let's you pre-order it. You best do it because I'm willing to bet it'll be very limited like every other RE PC title.
RE1, RE2, RE3 and Gun Survivor was it I believe. I had to get RE1 PC from europe and RE2 PC somebody traded it in at EB Games just before we stopped taking PC games. And well, I have a BACKUP of RE3 and Gun Survivor. They're the worst PC ports I've seen actually... MGS2 right behind them :)

I just heard about this port yesterday, I'm pretty psyched. Been meaning to grab it for the GC, but if it'll be on the pc, of course that's the superior way to go.

One thing to note, I heard this rumor in a thread about StarForce. Ubi loves slapping Starforce on things (like HMM5 :( )

I guess I can say goodbye to ~a month of my life once this gets to the PC... *please let this run on my rig without locking up* :wink:

I just hope that it has decent control options ... like strafing ... many ported games don't seem to get this right ... :?

I wouldn't count on being able to do anything that you can't in the console versions. I'll consider us lucky if it lets you mouse-aim while standing still. Besides, being able to circle-strafe with a mouse and keyboard would make this game ridiculously easy.

I highly doubt ANYTHING will differ from the GC/PS2 version. We'll be lucky to get joystick/controller support and graphical options.

:? :|

Ow man, you can't be serious. :shock:
I won't play such a game when it doesn't support strafe.
I'm way to used to strafing. :?

I agree. I cannot play a game without strafing. A thing like that could ruin a good game because it is to annoying. I won´t get it if I won´t be able to strafe.

I think you're being a little prejudiced here. I have Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube, and I'm going to say something very praise-worthy despite three things going against it:

1: It has improper widescreen support, like a non-anamorphic widescreen DVD.
2: There is no circle-strafing.
3: I am a die-hard PC gamer and have always considered consoles to be the "other" platform.

Ready?

Resident Evil 4 is the best game of 2005. Prior to that, the most recent console game I consider to be GOTY is Superman for the Atari 2600.

Yea I know I was too hard. I just wanted to express my feelings. I´m still gonna get it :D.

I have played a few hours of the GC game at a friends house and was impressed with it. I will certainly consider picking up this one. If it has proper widescreen support, it will be a no brainer. (lol... no pun intended... get it? No brainer? Zombies eat brains... so... no brainer)

get it!?

sigh... :roll:

I'm sure we'll get controller support...I haven't seen any ported console game that doesn't support my logitech dual rumble pad wireless thingy.

Let's hope it's just better than say, Psi Ops or Second Sight as PC ports... Or the all-time legend of bad ports, MGS2 PC... Recommended requirements to play it smooth like the PS2 does, is like 5Ghz with 2gigs of ram and a 1gig graphics card. And even then it'd probably lag... :roll:
