Why the difference in reception?

RE4 is actually good.

Drones, obviously.

RE4 isn't a broken piece of shit.

>>380895628
Re4 is a linear experience whose quality has stood the test of over a decade.

Skyrim is a boring pile of shit for "nerds" and ALWAYS HAS BEEN

Other Resident Evil games have come out, so a rerelease of 4 doesn't feel like a cheap stall for time.

>>380895808
It's shit and marks the downhill of the RE franchise.

RE4 is actually a good game, though that doesn't really justify the doube-standard.

>>380895628
I think they are both overrated and think they should stop releasing both of them already.

RE4 Switch when?

Skyrim is Western, RE4 is Eastern

>>380895628
I've finished RE4 countless times and still play it yearly

Never even finished skyrim and couldn't even try, it's just there to test all kinds of mods.

Skyrim
Skyrim: Special Edition
Skyrim VR

Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition

I don't see the issue with either game.

Skyrim was already a rehash of a rehash of a rehash when it was new.

Because cringey hipsters who think m-muh REAL game is better than your TRASH NORMIE game.

>>380895628
Re4 hasn't been more than 20 dollars since 2007. It's not heavily marketed. Since its release, capcom has developed 3 complete sequels.

>>380895628
Because there are still more Resident Evil games coming out while they are porting RE4. Bethesda is milking a dying cow because they are talentless hacks that don't want to work on anything new.

>>380896678
Yeah, I hate people who have good taste too.
They make me feel really insecure and trigger me.

RE 4:
>released for PS2 and Gamecube and Wii (full prize)
>rereleased for PS3,X360 and PC (heavily discounted, no big announcements, just a small announcement to let you know it's coming)
>rereleased for PS4 and XBONE (again no big announcement, just kinda dropped on you, prize around 15 dollars at release)

Skyrim:
>released for PS3, X360 and PC
>rereleased for PS3, X360 and PC as legandary edition with all dlc included (Bethesda makes huge deal out of it and ask for full prize, which is fair bc of DLC stuff I guess, but not a big deal in any way)
>remastered edition released for PS4, XBONE and PC (again huge announcement and again asking full price)
>rereleased for VR on PC and PS4 (again huge announcement and again asking full price)
>rereleased remastered edition for Switch (again huge announcement and again asking full price)

man...why do people hate skyrim being dragged out for every E3? When was the last time you saw RE4 at E3 being announced?

How does he do it?

>>380896618
wii edition and hd edition were straight ports for RE4 and were not full prize

I really wonder if Bethesda is in full panic mode. They've never been a very good developer, but they lucked into an extremely fertile genre very early that paid massive dividends. Now it feels like everyone else caught up and is 10 years ahead of them, and releasing another game that looks/plays like Skyrim is going to be a fucking disaster.

>>380896834
You can talk shit on Bethesda all you want, but it's pretty retarded to assume Tod Howard's team isnt developing anything new at the moment just because they're milking everything else.

>>380895628
>Resident Evil 4 on PS3/Xbox 360 and PS4/Xbox One, finally!!
Said no one ever. The only ports anyone ever wanted was PS2 to bring RE back to Playstation and PC to get away from console constraints plus mouse aim.

Name another open world RPG with the mainstream appeal of Skyrim. There's a reason they keep selling it after 6 years. You spend too much time on /v/.

It's the games after that went downhill. RE4 is considered the peak

>>380895808
THIS

>>380898752
I have a PhD in Game Design both are shit.

>>380898732

RE4 is known for one single redeeming quality. Solving terrible third person shooter controls on consoles. If you weren't 12 years old and only had consoles your entire life this was not a revelation. The most important part of this is that the controls are still awful and imprecise. Playing the PC port with KB+M trivializes the entire experience for example.

Outside of that RE4 was Gears of War Early Access w/ Babby's First Japanese Horror Game sprinkled in.

Terrible story that ruined the series.
Hilariously terrible enemy design and AI. Pick any difficulty you want and it's tragic.
Was basically the industry's mainstream introduction to retarded QTE cutscenes.
S-shoot the weakspot bosses for 12 year old barely developed brains.
Control scheme and ammo drops betray its chance at even being slightly scary.
The absolute worst escort mission in any game ever made.

I am going to stop there but I could seriously go on for 5-10 more points, easily.

>>380899550
>The absolute worst escort mission in any game ever made.
Lel, why do shitposters always try to make the same argument? It invalidates any actual point you might have made.

>>380900987

I'd love to hear a worse one. Ashley outshines the terrible AI in her uselessness. She makes them seem well designed. And considering a sizable portion of the game, much larger than other similarly terrible escort missions, is spent with her running to zombies to die-- it's the worst one of all time.

>>380901453
Except she's pretty good at not getting in the way, if she gets killed then you're just shit. It's actually almost impossible to get her to die in normal play if you're not a kid.

>>380901696

You're pretty good at avoiding virtually everything somebody says about the game and spinning it.

She is not even close to "pretty good at not getting in the way". You have to tell her to fuck off manually. Constantly at times because she doesn't take direction because she was designed by morons. Her not dying being impossible is the most preposterous thing I've ever heard. Figuring out how the fuck she works in the first place is guaranteed to generate shit loads of game overs. When you finally do you have to baby sit her through hours of the game tediously even if you're "doing it right".

There is absolutely no defense for her inclusion.

>>380902091
>being so shit at games you have trouble keeping ashley alive
wow

2) Re4 was an exclusive to one console when it was initially released, creating a demand for releases on other consoles

The worst part is that it looks like any "fake" videogame from 12 years ago. Awful blurry 3D, enemies just stand around you waving swords, you ham-handedly swing yours back or poop out some arrows from your bow and they explode like lego bricks.

>>380902091
Dude, Ashley escorts take up maybe 15% of game time, and they're all incredibly easy. Even when you cant tell her to just hide in a fucking dumpster while you clear the area, you just have to be somewhat aware of your surroundings and she's fine. This game is only difficult if you're bad at managing your weapons/ammo, which you said yourself was too easy.

Sounds like you're just bad at the game bruhndle.

Those are just ports.

Based on that favorite Resident Evil poll the majority of /v/ likes RE4 so I have to wonder if its the same autist screeching about how RE4 ruined the franchise every time RE4 is mentioned, like in this very thread.

>>380903126
The smartphone, cellphone, and whatever a zeebo is are completely different actually, not even re-releases, completely changed.

>>380902959
>>380903048

How shit of opinions do you have to defend something that invasive to the experience of the game? Tedious shit is tedious shit. Her not dying does not suddenly make her inclusion inoffensive or properly designed. She is an awful part of larger turgid experience. But I don't expect a bunch of dipshits with nostalgia goggles on to understand that.

Glory kills rendered the new Doom at any difficulty kiddie trash in difficulty.

>>380904203
but that's not RE5 and 6
if RE4 was already the easiest then I don't even know how bad that dude at vidya

>>380895628
People already played the best possible version of Skyrim, putting it on consoles, even modern ones is a step down for it. Resident Evil 4 however went up in quality from its initial release.

>>380904402
>Glory kills rendered the new Doom at any difficulty kiddie trash in difficulty.
Incorrect on every single level and also evidence you didn't play the game on Nightmare or Ultra-Nightmare. Most of the time you go for a glory kill on Nightmare or Ultra-Nightmare, you will die before the animation starts.

Thanks for confirming you play on easy settings.

>>380904409

RE5 was easily more difficult as the enemy AI actually could function beyond a 1st grader with autism and enemies largely moved faster than a snail.

RE6 followed the same path.

Both are absolutely shit games but they're more difficult when all are played on the max difficulty settings.

>>380904547

I speedran Doom on Ultra-Nightmare. You're a fucking moron if you think what you're saying is actually true. Have you even tried to play the original Doom?

>>380904942
>implying nu-Doom speed runs aren't nearly 100% OOB glitches
I'm sure you speedrun Doo 2016 on Ultra-NIghtmare, kiddo.

Skyrim's "Infinite" quests are merely randomly generated fetch quests that are in no way interesting or fun. I honestly can't believe they kept the concept going with Fallout 4 and still use it as an advertised feature.

I have no desire to ever replay Skyrim again. It has no depth at all.

>>380904986

Yeah, because RE4 on professional with all those SUPER FAST enemies coming at you with incredibly overpowered gun builds is really something.

>>380905036

Typical RE4 apologetic fanboy.

It's a good game but it was the beginning of the end.
>Worse launch than the PS1 games
>Changed a tried and true formula
>Split the fanbase down the middle
>Paved the way for shit

For what? "we want he cod audience"
Didn't even sell as much with the first 3 consoles it launched on as RE2 did on PS1 alone. Currently released on 12 different systems it STILL has done as well as RE5.

Why is it?
Maybe people don't like Leon as much as the actual plot to the story, i.e. Umbrella, Stars, Viruses.
When you think about it RE4 has the square root of fuck all to do with the series, it's more of a spin off title.
>What was leon up to while actual things happened?

In fact it's pretty much a 3rd person shooter borrowing the name of Resident evil to try and get some sales.
>Leon
>Ada
>Wesker
Remove those three characters and it has nothing to do with the series. Fuck sake it killed off umbrella within the first fucking cutscene and the next game realised that was a fucking retarded thing to do so it had to bring it back in a hamfisted transparent attempt to claim a multi billion dollar organisation can just change its name and everything is honky dory. Again; something overlooked by fanboys when discussing how RE4 fucked the series over.
>B-but it's 5's fault1!!!! No 4!! 4 is GOTYAY 10/10 perfect game!!! ;_;!!

4 isn't even the best game in the series.
It's a good game. But it's by no means perfect, not with the last part of the castle and the island as a whole.
REmake is, then 2, closely followed by 3 THEN 4. 4 isn't a proper depiction of the series it's in. It fucked it up and people can't wrap their heads around that.

>>380905227
kek

We'll never need another version of RE4 when those crazy fuckers finish their HD Texture mod.

>>380905227
But like I said; 4 had very little to do beyond cameos of 3 characters with the series. (one of which was dead and conveniently brought back because lover boy has nothing else to his character) in fact Leon as a character is a sideline character that just gets mixed up in everything
2 was claires gig, he was just a rookie cop that happened to be there on his first day and she pulled his ass out of the fire.
4 has fuck all to do with anything and the next game had to effectively retcon it to salvage it.
Movies? Yeah there are a bunch of leon fanboys so we'll just have him do cool flips and shit and they'll eat it up.

Everything leon has to do with the series has nothing to do with the series, even his own love story is forced and of little point.

>>380905294
What I don't get is, those guys are taking pictures in spain of all the stuff capcom got the textures form, did capcom delete all their originals, or why did they replace all the textures with shittier versions in the hd release?
Most of them don't even look similar.

>>380905210
I went to a random timestamp and the first thing he's doing is an OOB glitch.

But I'm sure you know what you're talking about, kiddo. I bet your dad works for id software.

>>380905615

There are OOB of course. But it isnt even a focal point. Watch the whole thing, I welcome it.

>>380905604
The mod developers don't have access to Capcoms files.

Capcom didn't give enough of a shit to update the textures themselves for the UHD release. Probably deleted the original source images.

@380905707
>first exploit described by runner is an OOB technique
I'm sure you know what you're talking about, kiddo.

RE4 being ported to everything became a joke around the time the Wii cam along.

Skyrim does the same thing and people defend it, most likely because the know Todd will get them if they don-

>>380905749
That's what I meant, the modders are taking pictures of the architecture and stuff capcom used for the textures.
They even found doors that were turned into 3 or 4 different things in the game, I don't know how far in the spectrum they are but it must be pretty out there.

>>380905995
I think it's unconfirmed, but they probably have an inside source at Capcom for locating the original texture sources.

Or they're just very autistic.

The first PC version of RE4 is perfectly playable with some fixes, same for Skyrim

Ports are only made because of consoles, so they can sell the game again with a slight improvement. The worst is that now retards on PC also buy these lazy remasters

>>380906575
Shame it's using the ps2 lighting and the mouse support mod is not that good.

>>380906575
>The first PC version of RE4 is perfectly playable

Bullshit. Even if you get it playable, the game looks like shit - they ported the low quality PS2 version.

The second PC port was necessary. I wish they would re-port Saints Row 2.

>>380907626
You can't objectively judge if a game is good or not, but if you want objectivity, which game is riddled by bugs that can make it unplayable, and which one is a game that can actually be finished without problems?

RE4 isn't a piece of shit.

>>380906789
>>380906750
Yeah the textures sucked and it isn't that great, but it's still perfectly playable and it was still better than console versions (maybe it was even too easy on m&kb). I haven't played the latter port that much, its an improvement but it wasn't that great either
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFL5xT5zRsI

I wonder why this guy even bothered with that fucking blur on the 2007+mods

They've made other entries in the series since then, Bethesda hasn't

>>380895808
Also this

>>380895628
RE4 Is good. It's a timeless classic.

Skyrim is only fun cause shit programing that gets old real quick. It's like watching a dog piss it self in the face. It's funny for a few minutes, but if it goes on too long it becomes sad and worrying.

>>380895628
Capcom continued to release RE games after 4.

>>380895628
RE4 came out 13 years ago and was originally exclusive to the shitty gamecube, it's nice that it's available on nearly every console now for around $20.

Skyrim is only 6 years old and launched on PC and consoles and got an """"HD"""" re-release on current gen consoles and is getting another fucking re-release for VR support, not a patch, a full price proprietary re-release.

You don't have to but people can make better arguments than "It's shit".

>>380895628
RE4 came out 12 years ago on consoles that plays well only on CRT, and got a shitty, unplayable PC port. Makes sens to re-release it in a playable state.

Skyrim came out on modern consoles and PC, and get re-releases every years with no noticable change. What's the point? If you have the 2011 PC release there's litteraly no reason to play it on anything else.

Also skyrim is shit and RE4 is not.
