Well that cinematic thing was realyl annoying. But even now I think people want more than just the same game as the PS2 one. Cuz almost everyone has either a PS2 or gamecube and anyone who does and wanted to play this game already has. So ... yeah.How is Resident Evil 4 inferior on the PC?

Wasn't that patched or modded?That said, Capcom did a lazy job with the port and deserve the scorn. Hopefully future games won't suck so badly.
Not having the ability to use a mouse on the PC for a SHOOTER is blasphemous...
Its not. I m playing it for the first time and having a total blast on a p.c. If I like it and its fun, who is to tell me that its inferior?

Man, this is good stuff to burn the consoles with! How come I've never come across this in System Wars?
[QUOTE=''the_hitman_guy'']1. Controls. Hook up a gamepad.2. Graphics. They were fixed in the patch. It now looks just like its console counter-parts (with higher resolutions.)3. FMV. ps2 also had FMV. At 1280x960 the cutsceneslook just like on the ps2.So from what I see, RE4 for PC is just like RE4 for ps2, only with higher resolution and faster loading times.[/QUOTE]First off, it's a port. Almost every game that is ported from the console to the PC sucks. It's basically a rule of life.
I just finished it a week ago. It was excellent. Ive never played the consoles, but it was one of the best games Ive ever played. I didnt mind the video thing either, the gameplay was intense and smooth. I loved it!
If i hadn't already played when it was 1st released on gc id check this out.

Because it's a fallacy. Games are scored based on other games of the same genre and platform.
For example, Gamespot gave the Xbox version of Halo 2 a 9.4 because it's one of the best FPSs on Xbox (which, I gotta admit, is pretty sad). The main reason they only gave the PC version a 7.0 was that it wasn't released until three years later. Microsoft intentionally sat on the game so they could use it to promote Windows Vista and Games For Windows - Live. And Halo 2 wasn't exactly impressive compared to most PC FPSs when it was released, but if both versions had come out at the same time, I can pretty much guarantee you it would have scored a fair bit higher, if only because it wouldn't have had the ridiculous Windows Vista requirement. Otherwise, the two versions are almost completely identical.
The same goes for Resident Evil 4.
And quite frankly, reviewers need to stop taking graphics into account when scoring games. If you want to know how a game plays before you buy it, you read the review. So if you want to know how it looks, just look at the damn screenshots. Go ahead and mention the graphics in the review, but to numerically rate something I can clearly see and judge for myself is fundamentally pointless and detrimental to the accuracy of the final score. If anything, I think the factor should be how the game runs (i.e. how well it's optimized), as this is far more meaningful to anyone considering a purchase.
Rabble rabble...

I'm just saying for most people it's nothing special on the PC because they already have played it on the GC or PS2.Infact, I played the PC version before playing the other 2 and I liked it, a lot. I didn't finish it though but I liked it as a game. The only problem I had was that wierd cinematic thing in the start (before patches).
I have it for Pc, and play it through. It was good, but since I had played it for the GC in the past I had hoped for asignificant improvement in the visuals, even added alot more content, or allowed the user more visual / audiocontrols. Its a pretty good port being that it has ran flawlessly on both my XP and Vista systems.I just really hoped for just a bit more in content and quality in translation to PC. Otherwise it still recieved a generous socre for doing what is is supposed to do:Function properly, and provide entertainment.
Where is the us patch for this game? I cant find it.

I haven't played it but I think some small problems can become really big ones, like not beeing able to use the mouse for aming is a HUGE problem that shouldn't have taken to long to fix. From my experiences the japanese developers really suck at porting games, Metal Gear Solid 2, Devil May Cry 3 and Lost Planet are all bad jap ports.

And if it's going to have horrible controls with the gamepad but will feature keyboard %26 mouse support (i'm making it up), then the port will get 70% in reviews?This just sounds wrong... I have never owned a console
It's a year old port from the ps2 version, which was inferior to the gamecube version. Also to get the mouse support, improved visuals, and improved cutscenes you need to download mods and other applications.
