I've noticed people are getting interested by those two news version of RE4 and we can presume the last ones. RE4 is probably the game that has the most releases in the speedrun history, maybe not.
There is a news with some clarifications about that version: http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/08/02/resident-evil-4-ps4-xbox-one-will-run-at-1080p-with-an-increased-frame-rate/
It's said it will run at 1080p with increase framerate (60 fps). So it's 100% sure that the new versions of RE4 will be like 60 Fps version with mine skip, awesome!
Concerning the loading times, we don't know but we can assume X1 is probably faster than PS4. Also, it's possible to use SSDs and get faster loadings.
Concerning the use of SSD we could discuss about it. Imo they shouldn't be used on console as it's already P2Win on PC. We can just have the basic hardrive disk that is what you get when you purchase one of this console.
Also, leaderboard should appear more clear, i don't know but those consoles should have better protection against cheat codes? We'll see. It doesn't matter that much.
Concerning the version itself, it's literally impossible to be faster than PC but it's definitely faster than any other versions. Besides, we can assume these versions will be more stable and won't crash like PC versions.
So in theory X1 and PS4 will probably be the best versions to play if the game keeps a steady 60 Fps with no crash. I hope it's gonna be the case!
Get ready for the final versions of RE4, let's end this! Get the fun ready!
The new slims console will also be faster. So the optimized way to play this is getting that and a ssd on top. Looks perfectly like a PC lol. I just hope the game won't crash and get decent FPS.
I'm almost positive the consoles will be slower than PC even with SSD because I HIGHLY doubt there will be an option to lower the texture quality. That option makes a pretty significant difference on PC.
I don't know how much time it saves overall but I remember when me and Morse switched it was saving like 5ish seconds just on 1-1. 1-1 has very few loads compared to later chapters. Maybe a minute or two for the whole run. Maybe more.
Removing HD textures saves about a minuite, like no kidding. The new versions won't have this option to remove those HD textures, which is cool as the game will be nice looking!
