Why does RE4 GC have better colors and lighting than the later ports?

>Top
GameCube
>Bottom
Steam/PS4
>>
>>738363830
Remake made og obsolete though
>>
Because ports are done by teams who don't care or aren't allowed to care about perfectly preserving the experience of the original game. They're mostly made as cash grabs. The goal is to get the game running without crashing or game-breaking bugs as quickly and cheaply as possible.
>>
>>738363830
What is going on between these ports exactly? Lowered contrast?
>>
>>738363830
Wii port is same as GC, every single rerelease is based off PS2.
>>
>>738363830
just install reshade

then why v shill for switch 2 and pc ports of ps4 and ps5 games?
>>
>>738363830
The Gamecube version does look better than the ports yes.
>>
They used the PS2 version as the base that's why.
>>
HD project with re tweaks has hotkeys for weapon swapping so it is automatically the best version.

Welcome to actual hardware differences and the complexity of porting from target design platforms to secondary ones.

Every time RE4 gets a port, something new is broken

GC –> Wii — Lower polygon count inventory items from PS2 port

GC –> Wii –> Xbox 360 — Broken and missing effects, bad mapping conversion for ALL the models of the game, missing sound reverb effect.

GC –> Wii –> Xbox 360 –> UHD — Animation and sound issues, black pickup screen, bad optimization with lots of performance issues in some computers

The PS4 version is just copy-paste of the “HD textures option” from PC Ultimate HD. Only a few extra character textures were improved for PS4/Xone.

Also some enemies behavior issues if I’m not mistaken. But I’m not sure in which port…

Still aside of resolution the GC/Wii and UHD with HD Project are the best versions. It has the best color palette and lightning and have bloom to the fire effects.

Many graphical effects unique to the GC architecture couldn’t be ported to other consoles. And Capcom didn’t really try to reproduce them by other means. The RE4 HD Project mod on Steam does attempt to reproduce the missing GC effects and does a fantastic job. Clear upgrade from the base version however it’s not completely 1:1 to the GC version.

RE4 GC/Wii had Dolby ProLogic II for audio positioning, while many sound effects clearly being mono in the ports. Sometimes it looks like the enemies are really close because of the volume of their steps, It's a bit messed up in the ports.

In the GC and Wii version the game has echo/reverb in some areas

Gc is missing content from ps2, and the new remake is peak

Gen 6 ports consistently get the lighting fucked up in ports even xbox games which is just a pc

Isn't that a case with every resident evil?
The first one is a true shitshow when it comes to ports.

Nope

This also applies to REmake and Re0
>>
>>738363830
Probably because the top one is running on a Scart cable.
You can get nice colors on PC if you just up the Contrast or "Digital Vibrancyl" in NVIDIA control panel.
>>
>>738368752
By default the UHD version has a really warm/red tone and whites are also extremely muted, to the point where the brightest areas are often still gray. One of the color filter options seems like it was meant to be similar to the original visuals, but it was still really muted and dull looking.

Let's see them on OLEDs.

Is bottom HD project? The HD project changed lighting in some rooms to be more realistic.

Pic: top is Gamecube dolphin at 4x, bottom is steam UHD with re4 tweaks, original textures, and brightness at 30. Looks pretty close to me.
>>
>>738369510
This, OP's shit is misleading. Also looks like he's using the vanilla hd textures not the mod.

Ports are based on PS2 version with new models slapped on top

Was the PS2 port really that bad?

tendies have to go "muh colors" while ps2 chads enjoyed separate ways and remake gods are playing the upgrade while no one plays the og anymore

Isn't the newer PC remastered release based on the Gamecube version?
>>
>>738371309
You had to make a Gamecube game work on a PS2. Compromises had to be made.
>>
>>738363830
It doesn't?

>>738371410
RE4's porting process goes like this:

GC
Wii
Xbox 360 (Mono Audio) (DX9)
Windows (DX9)
PS4 / Switch / XB1

The PS2 was downgraded for the hardware

> "Leon's polygon count will be sliced in half, from 10,000 polygons to a "mere" 5,000, while each villager featured in the game will consist of around 4,000 polygons.

>Up to ten villagers and 'associated components' can appear on screen in the PS2 re-work without causing the game to drop frames.
>>
>>738371495
The newer release has features that didn't exist in the PS2 port like real-time rendered cutscenes that were replaced with video clips in the PS2 release. The Ubisoft release was a direct port of the PS2 version, HD was based on the Wii version.
>>
>>738363830
Because the gamecube was more powerful than the ps2 so the ps2 version is a downgrade from the OG Gamecube version however the ps2 version has extra content so every subsequent port and remaster has used the ps2 version and no the Gamecube version
>>
>>738363830
because the gaystation 2 was a weaker system than gamecube, and the first PC port of RE4 was based on the gaystation port. for a long time gamecube was the only real way to play it
>>
>>738371827
>>738371817
RE4 Wii Edition is a fusion dance of the GC code with PS2 code. The PS2 assets are used in Separate Ways only. This was confirmed by Albert (RE4 HD Project mod)

Some were led to believe that they re-made Separate Ways using the Gamecube assets, and that is simply not true. The RE4 HD Project fixes this.

it blows my mind how ubisoft managed to fuck up so many ports and still get work
they fucked up the DMC3 PC port too
worthless faggots

It used to be pretty common to see budget rereleases of PC games at big box stores. I'd imagine most of their sales came from people seeing a package like picrel while buying printer ink or delivering a letter and getting them without doing any further research.

RE4 PC was outsourced to Ubisoft

RE4 UHD was outsourced to QLOC

Capcom themselves handled the RE1, RE2, RE3, RE5, RE6, RE7, RE2R, RE3R, Village, RE4R and Requiem ports/conversions
