From the beginning, it was announced that the Resident Evil 4 Remake game would only be for next-gen platforms, while this time it would avoid the last-gen PS4 and Xbox One. But in a surprising move, Capcom has partially retracted this decision, with the exception of its release on Sony's previous device.

Of course, this decision came entirely with the aim of taking advantage of the platform's huge audience, which will make a big difference in the game's sales when it officially launches on Friday.

But on the other hand, there will be a huge effort to completely reset Resident Evil 4 Remake on the hardware of Sony's old device. And the mission may have already been successful, but to what extent and which features remained supported in the game and which features were abandoned.

In this report, we'll take you through an in-depth look at some of the technical reviews the game has received on PS4 and how it compares to the PS5 version.

What is Resident Evil 4 Remake like on PS4?

First of all, we want to assure PlayStation 4 owners that the game looks very good, both in terms of performance and graphic quality. And if you are one of those players who care more about the gameplay style and following the events of the story rather than the quality of the graphics and effects, then we think you will enjoy the game to the fullest.

The game offers two game modes, the first is precision mode and the other is performance mode, and looking at some comparisons, the PS4 version still maintains the graphics quality and performance to a great extent.

In the video you're watching above, you can see that for the most part, the PS4 version of the game seems to run similarly to the PS5 version. The difference mostly comes from things that are hard to notice unless you're just looking at them through comparison videos.

In this case, the PS5 version offers higher fidelity in rendering and wall designs, better shadow quality, and more stable overall performance. In the PS4 version, some effects like depth of field and motion blur work at a lower quality than in the PS5 version, while the resolution is generally improved compared to the upscaled 4K on the PS4 Pro.

What about performance?

The game runs at 30fps in Resolution mode on PS4 and 60fps in Performance mode. And while Performance mode runs at dynamic 4K on PS5, it drops to 1080p on PS4 and PS4 Pro.

Additionally, one of the differences you will miss in the PS4 version is that the game supports ray tracing technology, as well as the precision of hair details in the PS5, Xbox Series, and PC versions. Obviously, this will not be available in the previous-gen version for technical reasons.

Ultimately, we think Resident Evil 4 Remake works very well on PS4. It can be embraced as a complete experience if you haven't upgraded to either of the next-gen platforms yet.
