I really don't understand how developers still fuck up gyro aiming.
how hard is it to emulate a freaking mouse? like wtf?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
FYI, turn the button presses from tap to hold.
Not only is it better for the escaping QTEs, but it also means you can just hold RT/R2 down and Leon will keep knifing instead of needing to tap tap tap it. Good for downed enemies.

For steam deck folks, it appears you need to update to the next steam deck preview build in order to play thew demo without graphical issues.

I’m really sensitive to deadzones and I feel you, the controls feel awful on Xbox, though if you have an Elite, you can improve it a bit by using the instant response curve. If you have a PS5, it’s the inferior version but the controls are better, especially on a DS Edge.
I basically skipped on RE Village because of the garbage aiming. Disappointed they haven’t improved their controls since.

I haven't used my elite in a while, can you add a negative deadzone on that? because that would be the only thing to truly fix it.
I know you can adjust the reaction curve but even the best reaction curve would still feel bad with that deadzone in place

Yes but Leon doesnt get cut up :/

I haven't seen him get cut up from a chainsaw yet. That said who knows if there's different animations from other chainsaw wielding enemies like the sisters.
I have seen him get his head brutally hatched off with a handaxe, and his eyeballs pushed in by a Ganado. The brutal deaths are still there, and in some ways more gruesome. I mean you can argue a chainsaw decapitation is gorier, but watching Leon struggling and being held down while his head slowly gets chopped off by a hatchet is barbaric and disturbing.

As a Steam Input/gyro aiming enthusiast myself, thanks for confirming they work well with RE4R! For the full game I plan to set up the m&k gyro aiming

I finished the original game with pleasure back in the day. I enjoyed RE2 remake and original too. But this game... I didn't like this one. It has too many enemies but character moves so slowly. I watched the original game again, Leon moves faster on that one. So, I deleted it in 10 minutes. Thanks Capcom for the demo, it's not for me I guess.

No, he doesn't. He can run here. In OG he doesn't.

I think his arms/gun moves faster in original? In any case, I found it too slow, maybe if I play the old game again I won't like it either. Probably my tastes have changed over time.

Yeah. I was never even a huge fan of the original. Spent some time with the demo, and no thanks, this style of game is just not for me.

Gyro aiming based on mouse and keyboard controls instead of controller based gyro aim

If you mean his arms/aiming speed, I agree, he seems slower to me too.

played and finished the demo 5 times in a row, I see a proper goty contender. Honestly. Every playthrough was different, they took RE4 to the next level. I cannot wait until the final game arrives, this has sooooo much potential.
edit: yeah, the deadzone on the sticks could use some improvements. Thats right.

Couple of things hopefully people also noticed
- There's a deactivated co-op partner prompt in one of the barns near the village entrance, i-e revisiting later with Ashley for treasure sweeping.
- Climbing up the tower in the far end of the village causes the ganados to break it (in the original they just threw molotov's if you climbed it)
- If you do not enter the scripted house for the chainsaw cut-scene, eventually you will always trigger a secondary cut-scene where the chainsaw man busts in from another place, i-e there is no avoiding spawning the chainsaw man unlike the original.
- To "parry" say an enemy charging you with a pitch fork, you don't need to raise the knife at the right point, just having it ready with LB/L1 is enough
- The lamp in the barn where the cow is can be used to burn ganados, so a good tactic is to lure a couple of them in there and burn them together. The rampaging cow can hit a few too.
- The chainsaw *can* and *will* hit and kill the regular enemies, so worth using that tactic as well.

I liked the demo, but there are certain things that didn't convince me. The shooting mechanics seem to be the same from 2 and 3 Remakes, which I was afraid it would be the case. The shooting just doesn't feel tight like it did in the original, it's floaty and the enemies are bullet-sponges. It was acceptable in 2 and 3 because those were true survival horror games and the aiming-shooting was supposed to be sparse and difficult, but RE4 is an action game first and foremost.
Anyways, I couldn't test it properly because the demo is so short. Maybe it changes once you start improving the guns. Once you have tried shit like TLOU Part II's shooting and melee this just doesn't cut it.

Can we confirm dynamic difficulty with this demo? If you die will enemies be less aggressive the next time, like in the original game?

there is also a special cutscene when you're getting grabbed by a ganados and the chainsaw guy is nearby and ready to strike. I won't spoil it though. You can kill the chainsaw freak btw, I already did it (unintentional).

The original RE4 had some very strange aiming. I hoped they will improve aiming in the remake, but it's even worse now. It's difficult to kill even a single enemy with such floaty aiming, so gameplay feels much worse compared to the original in this aspect.
Graphics looks very good on PC, but I had to use some fidelityfx sharpening to get decent sharpness. I also had no problems with SDR and HDR black levels.

the aim in the original was pretty much perfect... not sure what you thought was strange about it tbh.

Okay, played a little bit of the steam version. It looks great and plays great. I honestly don't understand how people saw this and think RE2make looks better. Unless they played the PS5 version which is plagued with visual issues, the way I hear.
It's tense, and feels amazing. As far as I'm concerned, Capcom did it again.
There are some texture pop-in issues, but I want to believe those will be fixed in the final version, or at least patched.
I must admit I was very worried when I heard some people here, but I think the game looks awesome.

I didn't play the whole demo cause I want to go in as fresh as possible, even though I've played the game multiple times already. Playing on PC (4090/13700k), game runs fantastic, never dipped below 115fps and that's with absolutely everything at max, including ray tracing and fov. Aiming feels like almost cheating with m+kb, able to get headshots at good lengths without issue. I was already going to buy it but this solidified my purchase.

Maybe the demo is a good idea beyond building hype and advertising the game. It allows them to view feedback on the game and make tweaks before the launch. They are already addressing the rain. More can make it into a day 1 patch. I really wonder if this is an intentional part of their strategy.

I'll go one farther and turn motion blur off too
motion blur: off, DoF: off, lens distortion: off, camera wobble: off, FoV: max expanded, damage indicator: off (that jelly shit should die with Call of Duty 2).

I agree if I have a complain I would say that is the chainsaw guy not cutting your head off, that I really miss it. Also the suplex, in the original Leon looked like bruce lee doing it, now like my grandma, lol. Gameplaywise I feel this remake is much better, everything looks more frenetic and enemy aggression really make you feel in a danger, you don't have time to plan a strategy, in the original once known the map you could easily go through enemies fight

Steam gyro support is so good that I completely abandoned my mouse and keyboard. Every game now I play on the couch with dualsense + gyro.

Gyro aiming would make this a day 1 purchase for me if done well.
It should be in literally every game with any kind of projectile weapons.
