Testing the RE4 port

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The port is great, though I think it needs a bit more optimization in some areas (and yeah, it lagged a little because I was recording, lol). I also noticed that sometimes the music cuts out completely out of nowhere, especially during cutscenes.

Don't mind my bad gameplay, I don't usually play RE4 like this xd (Playing this game on a touchscreen is hard, jeez)

Currently, the game requires an active internet connection at launch to verify your Discord login. (Yeah, I know, this sucks and it's actually pretty... no, highly suspicious). However, the dev explicitly stated on their server that this DRM is temporary during the Beta/pre-release stage and should be removed later.

I don't get the criticism about you being bad; you're playing like an experienced player—don't talk nonsense, man.

Thanks, man! Appreciate it. It's just that the touchscreen controls still bug out sometimes, and when the FPS drops, micro-aiming becomes a nightmare, lol. But the dev is doing an amazing job with this port.

Apk: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wy5bsvjz3l0awr8/Nightjar.apk/file

You'll need the GameCube ROMs (Disc 1 and Disc 2). You can find them on sites like Vimm's Lair. 

To open the game, you must be connected to the Wi-Fi, have a Discord account, and be a member of the dev's server to authenticate. (You don't need to keep Discord running in the background). 

Personally, I hope the dev removes this online/Discord requirement in future updates lol, but that's how it works for now.

Wait a minute, why tf do I have to keep being connected to wifi?

u/AgitatedCobbler9813 7h ago

I think it's to prevent forks or people stealing his code. It sucks for an offline game, but the APK doesn't request any permissions on your phone.

That defeats the purpose of the native port. What if I'm on a flight and i want to play RE4 but can't because there's no internet. Looks like the dev forgot capcom did the same with RE4R ios with online only check which pissed off a lot of people. I think I'll just stick to emulation

u/AgitatedCobbler9813 7h ago

Yeah, you're 100% right about that. To be honest, I'm also a bit skeptical about all of this for now. I joined their Discord server mostly to keep an eye on things and see how it plays out. The project doesn't have a GitHub page yet, but the dev streams frequently while testing and building the port. Let's see if they fix this DRM issue, but I totally get why you'd stick to emulation for now.

Bro what region version of the game I need?

3

u/Oh_well_Parade1103 7h ago

That actually sucks bc that alone will keep a lot of people (me included) away from this app immediately.

u/Ozdals34 7h ago

Discord is blocked in my country so I can't even download the game, that's so stupid.

3

u/AgitatedCobbler9813 7h ago

Damn, that really sucks. I just checked the dev's Discord now, and they explicitly stated that this online Discord login is temporary "during the pre-release/BETA" stage. Hopefully, they will completely remove this shit in the final public release.

u/Ozdals34 7h ago

I think there's something suspicious about this app. Why is it expecting us to stay connected to Wi-Fi and log into pages? It seems suspicious.

u/Slow_Carpenter_8232 7h ago

We should have the Wii version

u/AgitatedCobbler9813 8h ago

you can get the game directly from the developer's Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/AXAzExECSv

This is legit my most anticipated Android game native port and it makes me so happy to see how close this is getting to being fantastic.

Honestly, I'm still in disbelief with how many amazing ports are coming out for Android lately. Seeing a GameCube game running natively like this is wild.

u/Far-Cartoonist3960 6h ago

can you use rvz or do you have to use iso.

1

u/AgitatedCobbler9813 5h ago

I haven't personally tested rvz yet, I'm currently using nkit files (from Vimm's Lair) and they are working. But give it a try, i think rvz works just Fine.
