Resident Evil 0, 1, 4 |Switch-OT| Ah, i'll buy it at a high price!
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date
Why do they cost 10 bucks more than on other current gen systems then ?
Would you communicate up the chain that gyro controls are wanted? I've bought a few copies of RE4, but it would be nice to having else to set it apart from the other versions.
You can do that with Dragon's Dogma and RE Rev 1+2 too but they launched at the same price as on the other consoles.
At 20$ with motion aiming, RE4 would have been a questionable but understandable purchase. 30$ without motion aiming is just highway robbery. Fuck them and their "support" of the system.
Anyone more familiar with when Switch games update on the eShop is there any chance of these titles releasing later tonight (Talking about the US)?
Same for Okami HD, Mega Man 11, Onimusha etc. But for some reason, nobody at Capcom want to answer why those three RE ports are pricier.
Oh yeah I don't know why anyone would expect a response on that.
really surprised but also somehow not surprised that they didn't add gyro to RE4. what a wasted opportunity. hard pass that would have otherwise been an instant buy. how can you be that out of touch? it's one of the main talking points since it got announced. here's hoping they patch it in.
also echoing the statements here that I hate companies ratcheting up the price on old ass games when cheaper versions could have been found for a really long time. not cool.

Just to make sure it's not missed in the overnight transition:
I think its evident that the lack of any motion aiming for RE4 is an issue for many by looking just at the comments in here, especially since the precedent was set by previous Nintendo-system ports of the other games.
Here's a chance for an wonderful good-will "listening to the community" win - updating the game to support gyro aiming similar to how it was in Revelations 1/2/RE4Wii and replacing the Switch home menu icon to something more like this
or a direct shoutout to its GameCube origins...
or hell, even the website icon would be preferable!
please, anything you could pass on to someone who makes calls about this....
(also a nice global physical copy with reversible covers thrown in would make people very happy to buy the game for the n-th time over...)
thanks in advance!
For anyone wondering how bad the icon for 4 is I'll post a picture. They couldn't even capitalize the text font for the title of the game. Resident Evil 1 on the other hand has a great icon and the correct capitalizion in the system text.
Also I am both dissapointed and disgusted with myself because I ended up getting both RE1 and RE4 preordered. I'm the reason Capcom is going to continue gouging us Switch owners for money and I'm sorry.
The text is a joke but it's the streak of fart around Leon that gets me.For anyone wondering how bad the icon for 4 is I'll post a picture.

I will not consider buying this without an option to play with the same controls as seen in RE4 Wii Edition. There is absolutely nothing stopping this from being done; the system is fully capable of replicating this control setup.
Do that and you will get my money Capcom.

While it's thankfully not the Icon on Xbox, that's the loading screen into the game on that platform. It's a real ugly piece of art (especially when it includes saddlers face on it). Really hope the next batch of ports drop it.
The lowercase text does seem odd at first, but it's actually always been styled that way.
So much that

Depends on the publisher , like everywhere.
Nintendo's games, Mortal Kombat and many others launched at midnight EST.
But some launched when the store updated at 9AM PST Tuesday.

And yeah, lower case has always been the "correct way" to write 4. Sucks, but not a mistake on Switch.
To be fair it's the same on PS4. I have always found it really weird.

I'm very interested to see the in-game achievements. If they're different from PS4/X1 i'll Be very surprised.
Their bothering to include achievements is surprising considering RE4 didn't have its achievements altered from the PS3 to PS4 versions IIRC.
Are there any other versions of the RE4 HD with motion controls?
These are essentially ports of the 360/PS3 version right?

First time I've noticed this small detail so I do take back my criticism. Really weird, but I guess if it's done out of tradition than that makes it cool!
Really though it'd look so much nicer with proper capitalization, time to go back in time and change things for the better.
Thats a bummer.
I was personally pretty disappointed with the PS4 version as well. The abrupt audio transitions are jarring, and the deadzone for aiming is way too high.
Apparently.
Jonneh is gonna stream the first hour, and he said that he is dissapointed with the port.
Onimusha was the first sign of price creep, even though it was on all platforms. It should've been an HD Collection for $30 (1-3) or $40 (1-3, DOD) like DMC but we're going to end up getting $20 individual releases.
I would buy RE4 instantly. For half the price they're asking and with gyro controls. This is a ripoff.
I just found this from Game Explain.
Apparently lacking other Switch features ones might hope for like no HD rumble either. Sounds like issues that were existing in the previous HD ports are still there too like the brighter color palette compared to the original game, which I expected, to be honest. Nothing game breaking it sounds like, but nothing new or improved compared to other versions of the game.

This is really ticking me off, what has made capcom go down this path with this specific port?
Charging 30bucks for that.
Fuck off
For the extra 10$ they should've at least include gyro, for fucks sake.
grrr
I wonder if the sniper animation bug still present?
Edit: The accelerated aim glitch is still present. Capcom get fucked.

No motion aiming, no sale. After Okami HD did precisely what I wanted to take full advantage of the Switch's suite of input options, delivering a truly definitive edition (apart from the intractable end credits issue), I know Capcom can do better.

The series has always had an interesting relationship with upper/lower case.For anyone wondering how bad the icon for 4 is I'll post a picture.

biohazard 4 / resident evil 4 is always lowercase.
The original BIOHAZARD is always in uppercase. The remake biohazard is always in lower case.
Same with biohazard 0. HD REMASTER is always in upper case.
BIOHAZARD 7 resident evil / RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard always has the main title in upper and the sub in lower.
BIOHAZARD RE:2 / RESIDENT EVIL 2 is all upper case.
It's more consistent in Japanese but rule of thumb is early, PSX/N64 days everything was upper case, GCN days everything was lower case, nowadays everything but subtitles are in upper case. (See BIOHAZARD: marhawa desire, BIOHAZARD: heavenly island, BIOHAZARD THE STAGE)
The same issues present in the other current gen versions, yes. Not new issues exclusive to Switch.
For $30 though, they should have been addressed.
