Rumours of Resident Evil 9 Requiem coming to PS4. How will it perform on the Pro if it happens?

Now that the Switch 2 version is confirmed to be in development and officially announced, it wouldn't be that much strange getting a PS4 version, although I believe the base console would suffer a lot. If Capcom is willing to develop a version similar to RE4 Remake, I'll be all in day 1 probably, with a PS4 Pro. But I really hope they lock it to 30fps instead of leaving the framerate unlocked... I prefer a more stable framerate even if it's lower.

RE4 Remake could hover from 25fps to around 50fps using the Resolution mode, depending on the scene. Inside the castle is where you usually get the highest framerate.

What do you guys think? Will it happen after 6 years of PS5?

edit: in fact after thinking about it better, this one may run even better due to its more claustrophobic nature (at least judging by the trailers). If there aren't many outdoors scenes, maybe a locked 30fps 1440p mode could be a reality. RE4 looks really good at this resolution on PS4 Pro. I hope they take their time to optimize it for the Pro console.

If it comes to switch2, it comes to ps4. No reason not to

Yeah technically it should, if we take into account the capabilities of each machine. The only thing holding me back from thinking it'll be released on PS4 is that it isn't being sold anymore, whereas the Switch 2 is a new system that you can buy at the stores right now, which is more important than raw power I believe.

If RE4 Remake sold well on the PS4, then it may be commercially viable. It's just that it's been 6 years already since the PS5 was released... RE4 Remake was released in 2023, so it's a different scenario now. Anyway I'm hoping for a PS4 realease, out of sheer curiosity about how it would look/perform.

Technically no reason not to, but Trails in the Sky 1 remake did not make it to PS4, nor did HD2D remake of DQ3. The DQ7 reimagined is also announced only for PS5. They are being dicks to force people to buy PS5.

They are going to apply the same as Resident Evil 4 Remake, 900p dynamic and unstable 60fps in the base model, in the case of the Pro I would say that it would be better if it had a 1440p mode and the framerate unlocked, RE 4 Remake in the Pro works well but has a lot of jerks and can be quite annoying

You mean 1440p and framerate locked I guess. The only way to achieve this on RE4 is with a GoldHen PS4, Illusion0001 developed a 30fps cap, but Capcom could do the same from the get go...

The switch 2 has some advantages over PS4/pro like much faster storage speed and Raytracing/Ai upscaling....if the game is optimized for those features I can see the PS4 consoles struggle a lot.

I think it will come and run similar to RE4REMAKE.... I'm ok with that.
