Most of us have played RE4 once or twice. Or three or four times. Or you know maybe some of us have played it a dozen or so over the past nine years. But most of us have NOT played it at 1920×1080 with a stunning 60fps searing the screen. We hoped our [earlier trailer] showcased this feature to your satisfaction, but just in case you wanted more proof, today we have two gameplay clips ready for download and direct comparison.

Right here you’ll find the first few moments of the game running at 30fps with the SD (original) texture pack active.

Right here you’ll find the first few moments of the game running at 60fps with the HD (improved) texture pack active. LARGE file!

You can also compare the above screenshot (HD textures) with this same moment in SD:

You can immediately notice the extra detail on the outfit, and you’ll find similar improvements throughout the game. Like I said, I’ve played through RE4 multiple times and this version really is the slickest yet.

You can pre-purchase it now on Steam , GameFly or GameStop Impulse (with more to come) and in doing so will get the digital soundtrack AND 80+ page digital archives! Game’s out on February 27!
