You're actually not even in agreement with his sarcastic response. You gave us permission to criticize the game in this thread.
Read it was maxed out. Makes it pretty promising for the shotgun once that is maxed out as well! Probably be blasting things in half left and right multiple enemies on a single shell. Should be good enough to counter that missing gore thread I'd expect.
People are free to have their opinion. I like the demo, but if others don't, whatever. Doesn't exactly affect my experience.
It's clearly a special game for many so naturally its going to be under more scrutiny than usual.
I shouldn't be arguing with you but the aiming is slower in the remake since it takes twice as long for you to move the crosshair. That's how deadzones and physics work. GC RE4 had an aiming deadzone of 20%, RE4 remake has double of that. It takes twice as long for the thumb to move the stick physically from 20% to 40%. Thats a lot of milliseconds and input lag.
It's worth noting that both the deadzone and square aiming issues are only on Xbox. PS5 and PC (with an Xbox controller) feel fine. I hate that Village and now RE4 have this issue on Xbox - shit boggles my mind that QA wasn't able to call it out.
I like motion blur actually. It's an issue with the actual image in performance mode. It's extremely noticeable. It's similar to pre-patched Forbidden West (not as bad as that one was though) where it leaves the image shimmery.
I haven't been this hyped about a game in a while. Loved the demo. It ran well on my aging rig and looked decent enough at low settings. Leon's movements felt a bit janky but that was my only real criticism. Otherwise I had a blast. I'll probably play the demo a few more times because I didn't know about the parry mechanic or the TMP the first time.
It's such a weird thing for me. I can tell in about ten seconds if something is up with the deadzone, and yet studios like Naughty Dog with Uncharted 3 and Capcom with Resident evil 7/8 and this, just can't. Naughty Dog had to ask some fans to come into the studio and help them.

If you want a core example;
This is kind of an extreme example since this poster is a notorious troll in RE threads, but they really aren't the first person to say silly shit like this to mild criticism even if they are putting it more under a veil
Yeah, it'd mind boggling. These simple things dictate how a game feels to play on a controller yet these big ass studios are absolutely clueless.
I remember feeling like I had gone insane when I first fired up Uncharted 3 on launch. I couldn't hit a damn thing. Turned UC2 on, did fine. Back to UC3 - whiffing everything. turned me off of the game for years.
One thing i've noticed regarding Leon's movement is that he always moves a bit to where the camera is looking after running in any direction, and it is especially noticeable if you barely press R1 (with hold option enabled, which doesn't apply to L3 for some reason):

(i didn't press forward even once)
And the camera bob option does not work, right? because i see no difference after toggling it.

Launch UC3 had maybe the worst feeling dual analog aiming of all time. It was a joke. And idc what anyone says, the alternate aim option they added later still felt wonky.
RE4 at least feels playable to me on Xbox, though obviously not ideal. Village was more annoying since it's first person and you're always looking at the floor to pick up shit, so you feel those slow diagonals more often. Capcom needs to get their shit in order regardless. At this rate I'm hoping for the PS5 dithering/fuzziness to get fixed before launch so I can go with that version, but I'd much rather play on Xbox since I prefer that controller.

R2 on PS5. Unless you mean to parry? then it would be L1 when prompted. Prompts are on the bottom right near your health bar. They be tiny.
Stumbled upon Bawkbasoup's first playthrough. Guy's feeling it. Wholesome stuff.

You can use this wind up animation to dodge attacks
Worth noting you don't really have to "time" a parry, you can just hold the button as early as you want (space on PC) and as long as you're still pressing it when the enemy attacks you'll parry
I've done Speedruns of RE games, I absolutely love them all, and RE has a tendency to always give you weapons if you don't pick them up when you're in a tough situation (try it out, don't pick up the grenade launcher in RE3 Remake and it'll be waiting for you before Nemesis), and I was bored, so I thought I'd try it out
what's that? i didn't see any new options after finishing the demo
There's seems to be a random chance everytime you press "New Game" for that difficulty to pop up. It's a much harder version of the demo. The first basement where you get the gun has like 3 ganados attacking you. I think you can keep quitting out and starting new games until it prompts you or at least that's what he said on stream.
some of leon's face during his death animation are not emoting enough, not a big deal, but it's weird
like when he gets both his eyes pierced by someone's thumb, you can hear him scream in pain, but his face barely moves, lol

Played through the demo three times last night and it felt amazing. It's RE4 in the engine and style of the remakes, and thus controls more in line with the remakes.
All the control complaints are coming from the .001 percent of obsessive RE4 fans who expected it to feel exactly like the original. That's just not what this game is. The average player will have no problem with the slower aim movement.

Thanks bro, you got me stabbed in the face :(
I'm probably doing this wrong, but just hold down the parry button and he'll auto parry regardless of timing?
I don't think you're wrong that the control stuff won't be an issue at all in the grand scheme of things. However, I think people have brought some good receipts on how Capcom is handling RE4 Remake compared to the original + other games in a well-structured post. I'm not sure you've paid attention to all of them but most of them have also expressed that they are interested in playing the full game despite having some issues with it.
Honestly I love the way it plays. Had a fucking blast and can't wait until the full release. As far as performance, I have everything maxed on pc (including hair and RT) at 1440p and I'm getting anywhere from 80-110fps. Granted, this is with a 4090, but still. What surprised me most is the graphics options menu setting saying it could use up to 15 gigs of VRAM with everything maxed. Like holy shit
Looks incredible tho

Yeah, this bothers me a bit. Like his mouth isn't syncing up at all to the screams we're hearing.
I feel like this was an issue with some of Rose's death animations in Village as well.
There's something very John Wick-ish going from the reload animation into popping people in the head at near point blank lol
Don't know what it is, but the aiming feels especially elegant when Leon goes into the point blank gun hold pose to shoot. :)
nevermind lmao
works during long attack animations tho, you don't have to wait until the last second
I hope someone will release a cheat engine to always activate mad mode.... i got it once, played badly so i decided to kill myself to repeat, but then you can't continue in that mode...
tried 20 times to get it again, no luck, this is dumb

I am disappointed there seemingly won't be a 120hz output option for consoles -- unless it'll be a day one patch?
RE2R and RE3R felt really good to play on PS5 with VRR enabled.

OG RE4 on Xbox has the worst case of this. The deadzone issue on Village was fixed, I believe, with the Winters Expansion. It's still an issue in RE7 tho.
