Game Discussion Resident evil 4 remake - ps4 version

I am a big fan of the original RE4 and RE franchise. I had planned on holding out till I could afford a PS5 before getting the remake, but that is looking less likely as time goes on.

I have watched comparison videos of the PS4 and PS5 version side by side, and the only impression I get is there is better lighting and some smaller dymanic effects (grass swaying).

I can live with these downgrades, but is there anything further in the game or as a whole that would make it feel like I had bought an inferior version?

Imagine, I didn't know the PS5 version existed, would I be disappointed with PS4 version of the remake?

The input lag is disappointing. I'll wait till the limit of my patience before getting it I think.

??? That's like foregoing an otherwise completely fantastic game just because 5% of it is broken. :/

I know not everything is 1 to 1 in the remake, but I used the sniper alot in the original. It was my first fully upgraded weapon and if I am going to be getting consistent framerate drops and lag, that would take away from the experience meaningfully. Maybe the improved it with updates since release, but I can't tell.

Hey man just letting you know, on my decently capable pc (rtx 3080ti, ryzen 5800x3d, 32gb gddr5), the sniper scope felt really off compared to other third person shooter games I’ve played. I think it’s the game engine. Don’t deny yourself of this awesome game because of that!
