They’re simply porting the PC version from a few years ago to next-gen consoles. But it needs some work on the engine level, as it runs spectacularly badly on PC.

Resident Evil 4 was updated and re-released on PC a few years back, and that’s what they’re porting to PS4 and Xbox One.

Given the amount of trouble that game has running on PC — it struggles to maintain 60 fps, and if it dips the engine goes into slow motion — they’ve probably had to do a significant amount of work on the back end to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen on the console versions, as the game would never make it through Microsoft or Sony certification in such a broken state (there’s no one there to police the quality of the port on Steam).

I’m fairly sure its an easier job to get 6 looking like a 2016 game than 4. The textures in the HD version of 4 are still poor by today’s standards it’s a matter of how much work they are putting into it. It’s not silly to think 6 is easier to upscale and retexture than 4 at all a resolution bump is different to a texture overhaul.

Um 4 had an HD version for ps3. So to suggest it will take more time is silly
