Resident Evil 4 PC is most likely the best version out to get IF YOU USE MODS. One of the many advantages of gaming on PC.The ENB mod is basically RE4 with Next generation graphic effects. It adds effects like Depth of blur, more shaders, motion blur, better reflections, and better water. The only downside is that it is buggy with older cards and requires a bit of tweaking to get the lighting and effects you want but in the end is worth it.http://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=2890&st=0    The blurry ugly cutsecenes in the PC version are fixed and now in HD with this modhttp://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=7814 Tons of key/button replacement mods as well along with 360 ones as well.http://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=117 Lots of texture mods that update beyond the Gamecube and PS2 versions.  The menus that were once blurry are now extra sharp and eve look better then the other versions. This mod also adds slightly sharper water and blood effectshttp://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=2743  And when you mix all of these cool mods together then you have a slightly enhanced experience over the original that beat out the console versions. And not to mention that their are other mods to **** around with as well. Theirs tons of character model mods and skins along with other graphic mods and gameplay mods. Messing around with these mods add more replay value in the end.

Ah, RE PC, what a lovely experience in vanilla form, "press button 3 not to die". Thanks for the links, I played it with texture mods but nothing else, those button replacements would had certainly come in handy at the start.

Looks nice, but playing it on the Wii just made it more fun and interactive. Better graphics wouldn't make me have more fun.

Depends, can mods fix ALL the mistakes of RE4 PC version? Because reading reviews the original port to PC was awful stuff.

But yer, Wii is a good finalised version, if not the best unless PC can fix all the mistakes of the original port and add more.

Yeah,the first version was a mess.My brother has it,and sure the pc can fix those issues..But I'm talking the way you can control the game on the Wii.It was better than the other versions.

I hated the wii control scheme. not only did it make the game insanely easy but I also found it impossible to aim with it(Ya I know that dosen't make much sense) It must be because I don't have a steady hand but I always went for headshots in RE4. But in the Wii version I always kept missing their heads be like an inch because of my shaky hands.

Yeah,could be..but for me it was the best version.I can understand people liking different version though..And I will tell my brother about these mods.He'll love that.

PC version looks very good with the right mods: GC textures, high-res HUD and fonts, Enbseries.

But I think the GC version running on Dolphin is the best due to the real time cutscenes. It makes the difference when you play with alternate costumes.

GC version was amazing...wii perfected it...at least for me

Yes, that's why they modded the hell out of the PC version. The devs really botched the PC version of this game, luckily modders came in and saved the day.

SOO...let me get this straight RE4 pc is best because in its original incarnation which is broken both graphical compared to the Ps2, gamecube and Wii versions and though its broken it still runs like crap on PC's is better because you then have to find the mod then install it and watch as said mod increases the system requirements even higher?
okay....

P.S: and i even forgot the broken control scheme for the PC version which wasn't fixed with the patch for it that was releaed.

The controls were fixed with a mod, finding and installing a mod is an easy process and the system requirements are easily achieveable with 2007 hardware. I think this game is a perfect example of how modders can save an otherwise poorly ported game. You have to give some credit to them.

you forgot to mention, knife felt good on the wii, while on every other version, not so much, the aiming was PERFECT, i did so many head shoots in that game :roll: it was a litle to easy,but same could be said for pc version too, but hard mode makes up for it. and the game has insane replayability.

wii version > pc version > GCN version > ps2 version

While those graphical mods look great (really, those modders did a fantastic job), the fact is that I just can't play the PS2/GCN/PC version due to atrocious controls. If there was a mod to allow me to aim with the right thumbstick then I'd be interested in getting RE4 again for the PC. But for now, the Wii version is the best to me.

The last I knew, the mouse mod was pretty...not so good. Like, from what I remember, you had a very limited amount of movement with the mouse and it couldn't move the camera at all. Has this been since rectified?

KrazyKenKutarag

actually the controls were supposed to be fixed via an official patch, and they weren't all so they weren't fixed with any mods either since i've used said mods and all they do is add better mouse support which in the end doesn't fix the controls it just gives you an alternative.
Finding and installing a mod is NOT for the modern every day consumer is not a viable option.

RE4 PC was broken from launch with bad controls and graphics subpar compared to what we saw on ps2, gamecube, and Wii, the mods released for it don't fix the controls and the graphics mods simply increase the system requirements, And yes they can be handled by a 1000 dollar+ system from 2007 something most consumers DON'T have. I don't give credit to any thing that increases money spent when it didn't need to be that way.

Same here, although I think the wii motion controls still makes the wii version of the game better than the modded PC version.

The patch Ubi made for the port while back when it was just released for PC fixed its graphical faults and made it look on par with the console versions. The patch and a Saitek gamepad will get you the exact same experiences as you would get with the console versions. The graphical mods just put icing on the cake.

RE4 PC = Too many bugs and glitches, easily the inferior version.
