Thankfully it's no big problem, but I wish Capcom had worked a bit more on this port. On PS4, RE4 runs at 60 fps, but there is some noticeable aliasing around ground textures. Some of it was great, some of it was meh, but overall it was good. Surely RE4 has plenty of "meat", it took me roughly 20 hours to beat it. And the various boss fights are mostly good. The innovative over the shoulder camera later became a staple of games such as Gears of War and many other 3rd person action/shooter games. You survive countless challenging encounters (the introductory fight "welcomes" the players before they even get to grips with the game). You escort Ashley and have to shield her. Enemies can be shot in different points and react differently. But RE4 is still a great game from 2005, even though its admittedly clunky controls and outdated gameplay haven't aged well compared to 2019 standards, it requires some getting to grips with. Even the (nonsensical) story has nothing to do with Resident Evil lore, RE4 could easily have been named something else and no one would complain. The enemies are not zombies but mutated humans, they are slow but also carry weapons and often transform into monstrosities. There is even a merchant from whom you can buy upgrades and ammo. Tank controls still exist in how you move and aim, it's a 3rd person perspective instead of fixed camera angles. Horror gets tossed outta the window and it's more of an action shooter game with a focus on survival.
From RE4 onwards, no RE main entry would return to its survival horror roots until RE7, meanwhile Capcom released a bunch of spin-offs such as Revelations but still they never embraced survival horror. This is the game that ended the classic survival horror era of the first Resident Evil entries. This is the game that ended the classic survival horror Resident Evil 4 is one of the best and most influential action games of all time.
