This is probably screaming into the void, but Ren, play RE4 Wii edition or RE4 PlayStation with Move controllers!

Another remake vs. original stream combo for RE4 sure would be fun. Wonder who among the WP crew can dig out a GameCube… Patrick? Cado?

I’m sure they could access a, um, hacked GameCube if they needed to. I’d definitely be up for watching another side by side stream, though I do wonder how feasible it will be - that opening area in the demo sure seemed familiar, but beyond that I wonder how far and how fast it diverges to the point that the side by side comparison doesn’t mean as much (which was the struggle they had with Double Dead Space, but yep, I do love the format!)

I don’t know if there’s a single modern console you can’t play RE4 original on, I don’t know what benefit you would get out of running it on an original GameCube.

Looks way more fucked up and thus more threatening in SD. Modern versions clean up the low-poly models in such a way that they look artificial and like you’re piloting puppets around a game engine.

No judgement, I played RE4 for the first time on the PS4. I just know when I look at the original GC version that the limitations of the hardware benefitted the tension and sense of threat of that game.

You’d get the GameCube controller, perfect in … a couple of ways. One of them is RE4

Fun fact about the Wii version, it’s Gamecube controller compatible. Just sayin’.
