Because all console ports look like crap on PC. And yeah that patch will make the game look slighlty better but it will still look like crap. I don't know why but all ps2 ports look really gray and pixelated on the PC. I tried to play RE4 on the PC. I got to that part where a giant boulder comes after you and the game says push 4. Well I pushe Shift, Ctrl and then even 4 but it didn't work so I had to exit the game to look at the controls. Of course that didn't help a bit so I just had to try all keys untill I've found it out. Thensome similar shiaight happened and I just got angry and deleted the game...People at UbiSoft are just stupid. I mean come on how hard it is to just say press Ctrl or Shift or whatever is it really that har to program a console game to do that?

Thats not true. Some console ports turned out to be fantastic.. Chronicles of Riddick as a example.

thats pissing isnt it.. I uninstalled it right after i started the game, because of the graphics... then took courage... installed it again and when i finally started to enjoy it... press 4 + 6... but its like that with all capcom ports...

i applied the patch and it makes the game look a ton better. there are now lighting and fog effects. better textures.

i tested it at 1024x768 on x2 4400+, 2 gigs ram, Geforce 7600GT, using an xbox360 wireless controller! (excellent controller)

down side: crappy low res video cutscenes. some glitches in real time cut scenes in which characters vanish! for anyone that hasn't played it or want it for PC then for $20 it is a good buy. I still prefer the GC version!!

any questions?? i will be glad to help anyone if i can.
