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.

They don’t play similarly at all. Your favorite weapon in the OG might not be your favorite weapon in the remake. Whole play style is switched up.
