RE4 Which platform did you play RE4 on?

Switch is my favorite mostly because I can play it anywhere easily. The iphone version didnt really feel like the actual game, the first level is just the village fight with Dr. Salvador, and once thats over the level ends. I dont remember too much of the rest of it because I got bored. I had more fun playing the game version of Degeneration.
 
Hundreds of hours across Gamecube, PS2, Wii, and PS3/4. 100% all of these versions but I think PS2 is worse now for how they mapped the controls and washed out graphics compared to Gamecube and Wii. The sound quality was also much worse on PS2. The “HD” official release for newer systems is a joke graphics wise and didn’t do the game justice.

The Separate Ways cutscenes in particular were super blurry and looked like they were recaptured using a potato for the official “HD” releases. Not to mention this is the only mainline RE that still has no platinum trophy yet, it’s ridiculous!

The Oculus VR looks very cool but I doubt I’ll ever shell out the money to try it since I easily get motion sick. Hope the launch of the fan HD release goes smoothy, I’ll most likely use that version for future marathon runs.

That phone game looked like a sick joke like RE2 Gamecom, should of never been made.

I guess that's why ı didnt enjoy the game's ps2 version that much playing on pcsx2, it feels annoyingly dated to the point it's hard to enjoy the game. I dont like gamecube release either since that doesnt have separate ways apparently.

I agree that hd release could have been so much better. I dislike how separate ways cutscenes are low quality too.
 
The GameCube, which was hard for me to get and I had to go to several Best Buy stores, rushing their near closing hours only to find the last one.

The PS2 for the bonus content and the infinite Chicago Typewriter
The PS3 for the new HD graphics which was new to me back then
The PS4 which I have downloaded, but didn't go past the chainsaw guy, because I hated the changed game controls which I never got adjusted to.
Dolphin which I used to get images and videos to help out building my now-frozen website. Good goin' Webs.com!

I think they released this game too many times and there's another one coming in February.
 
I think the GameCube release is the best one. But the PS2 version, and upwards, all have the complete game. But some of these ports I feel, just lacked care.
 
Yeah. The PS2 version is too dark. But the controls suck in the HD releases, for they ruined them.
Between re4 and re:4 on ps4, which one do you prefer? Personally playing re4 on ps4 made me more negative about the game again to the point ı also cant find myself returning to re:4 as much as ı want to cause there are already other games that ı prefer keep playing to enjoy. I still need to play wii version with a controller on dolphin emulator so that ı would gain a more developed opinion about that game's version but at the same time, ı also uploaded footage from re4 on steam with hd project mod before so ı'm also stuck between that to decide which one ı need to upload 1st. I doubt ı will return to ps4 version again, after some time, ı managed to finish it as well as record more footage and overall it wasnt very enjoyable for the most part. I think that's one of the reasons why re engine games arent very enjoyable either since the problem ı have with re4's ps4 version carries on to those games.
 
I prefer the original release, but the remake is very well done.

I really feel as if the other remakes were somewhat mistreated in comparison. Maybe not so much RE2. But RE3 was a joke.
 
Broken Butterfly Reload Glitch

Did anyone else get this glitch before? While relying on ditman glitch, ı reloaded broken butterfly but for some reason the bullets inside the weapon didnt increase but by keeping the aim, they increased. I knew about the glitch but ı didnt know this bug about this weapon, probably due to not reloading the magnums that much until later where ı use them sparingly.
 
I started playing re4's wii edition on dolphin emulator recently and ı dont think it's that different from gamecube release. It still feels more like a new game release to me even when playing the game with a controller rather than the more unique method which replaces laser to crosshair but ı always prefer laser to crosshair. I cant really describe it as " best version " cause it feels more like a new game to me rather than a port like playstation, pc and xbox rereleases.
 
RE4 Wii Aeon Session 1

I finished my wii playthrough for re4 on dolphin emulator. It was overall the same as gamecube with controls feeling smoother than other releases. I still like ps2 release more than wii version in regards to a few details for separate ways but ı think wii version is the best way to play ada's scenario due to the smoother controls with a controller. I didnt play assignment ada on wii but ı already played it on gamecube version so other than having a knife, it wouldnt be that different from gamecube release.
 
I played it on gamecube first. After that ps2. After that ps3, xbox 360, ps4, xbox one, switch.

I play RE4 every year. I beat it like 10 times in a year. I love It's combat and pacing.

For me original is the best version. So many little details were cute. I played remake 2 times after that stopped playing it.

Original team had fun with RE4 and didn't want it to make it realistic or serious. Which was the best thing about it.
