        He's probably talking about the first PC port, on 2007. I've always read you could only play it with the keyboard, no mouse aiming.

      Hello zoomer, no, the Classic ReBirth repack you played is NOT what the original ports were.

      RE1 won't run on anything other than a Pentium 1 with 133MHz tops, it has glitches and crashes not present on PS1 version, its use of DirectX is horrible and it was specifically designed for a handful of GPUs on the market at the time and has poor compatibility with DirectInput in general.

      RE2 has a barely better GPU support, the save system is completely fricked and is the worst in history of PC games. It is hardcoded to act like it is necessarily installed in a FAT32 drive and tries its best to bypass the file system which is utterly ridiculous.

      RE3 performs a little better, but has random freezes without hardware accelerated sound which was dropped after XP.

      The SourceNext versions of 2 and 3 were released in 2006 and that is what classic rebirth uses.

            Spain doesn't like anything like the original game. It's not a gray shitshole like depicted in Resident Evil 4 OG. If it's further in the north of the country, even less so. And it doesn't even make any sense in the context of the game since Las Plagas don't infect vegetation so all this dead murky setting is nonsense. Your analogy is backwards.

                That revision came out in 2015. Until then it was just fall, it's obviously an oversight and a dumb one at that. You're arguing that Spain never has fall, so here's a picture that looks very similar to the PS2/gc version. And yes it's oversaturated you literally can't find a picture of fall thats not oversaturated on Google. Keep trying to argue your shit point, a rainy/overcast day in Spain would look like og re4

                Regardless of the precise date, this is what Castile and Leon look like during autumn. Nothing like what is depicted in Resident Evil 4 OG. Heck not even your photo looks like it. The remake did a much better job faithfully representing its setting.

                I posted a picture that actually looks re4 and is in Spain. It's a videogame, not a geography documentary. Next are you going to go all autistic about hows there is no jungles in Russia like there are in mgs3?

                Yeah no shit? OG RE4 didn't try to be a generic realistic setting. It's a universe with fantasy monsters

                Remake is pure trash and just lazily reused Village and 7 assets that don't look like the RE4 bog

          What, it looks like it's not even in the same country anymore. It's not nitpicking, nitpicking is people complaining that the PS2 port is like this fricking awful mess full of bugs or someshit, when it's fine. This is similar to people complaining why there are candles lit in REmakes Spencer mansion full of zombies. And it's true, wtf, completely destroyed the atmosphere(even though I do like remakes atmosphere, it's not very resident evil as we used to know it) of the 1970s tacky mansion, which i thi k is way better than the now titled "Disney's haunted mansion" in REmake. Why did they make it look like he's in upstate New York?

      True Crime LA on PC was godawful.
      - Low quality graphics, no shaders like console version
      - Missing sound effects
      - Stutterfest
      - Flickering lights
      - Forced mouse acceleration
      - Flaming dragon boss fight is tedious and console players won't struggle due to auto aim

      I ended up beating it though.

    Most PC ports prior to VGA and Adlib becoming standard were pretty shit due to how woefully unsuited for gaming early PCs were. You'd just about rather play a multiplatform game on literally anything else.

      I remember getting this back in 2013 on steam and thought it would be better than the xbox because of the controls and addition of head tilting. It kept crashing once I entered the cellar and after patching it the dialogue never finished their sentences. Also, if you want more options for the patch you have to replace the executable with the retail version.
