When playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you may start to feel a little nauseous. To see how you can prevent yourself from experiencing motion sickness while going through this survivor horror game, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

1. If you start to start to feel sick, we recommend that you stop playing the RE4 Remake immediately as your nausea will only get worse if you try to power through. Instead, you should let your body recover before making any adjustments.

2. Once your body feels normal again, you can try enabling the preset setting Capcom has included to help prevent motion sickness when playing RE4 Remake. To turn this on, you need to do the following:

• To start off, you need to head into the Options menu from inside the game, which you can from either the title screen or pause screen.
• From there, use the L1 and R1 or LB and RB shoulder buttons to change tabs until you get to Accessibility.
• In the Accessibility tab, you need to select Preset for Motion Sickness.
• When asked if you want to apply the preset, select Yes.

By using the Preset for Motion Sickness, the following will be changed:

• Camera Wobble setting in the Camera tab will be turned Off.
• Motion Blur setting in the Camera tab will be turned Off.
• HUD Dot Display setting in the Display tab will be turned On.
• Lens Distortion setting in the Display tab will be turned Off.
• Depth of Field setting in the Display tab will be turned Off.

2. If the game is still making you nauseous even if you have the Preset for Motion Sickness setting enabled, then you can try adjusting the Field of View. You can find this option from the Camera tab.

Moving the camera further back so that you will get a better view of the environment may help you feel more balanced.

3. If the camera isn’t moving as fast as you wanted in both normal gameplay, as well as when you are aiming your weapon, then it may be causing you to feel sick.

In this case, you can try increasing the sensitivity of the right analog stick. In order to do so, you need to head over to the Camera tab in the Options menu.

From there, you will be able to change the maximum camera speed for both normal gameplay and when aiming your weapon. You can also change the camera acceleration for both normal gameplay as well as when you are aiming your weapon.

4. We also suggest that you minimize the Reticle Deceleration feature. You can find this setting in the Controls tab of the Options menu.

By doing so, the camera movement won’t slow down if the reticle is placed on an enemy.

If you find that the Resident Evil 4 Remake is too dark to the point you aren’t able to comfortably see, then you can take a look at this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can make this survivor horror game brighter.

1. Before we begin, it is important to note that the graphics in some of the scenes are made to be intentionally dark. Not being able to see in the dark adds an extra layer of suspense.

2. Resident Evil 4 Remake is best played in a dark room or at night with no room light. The ambient lighting may add glare to your television set or monitor, making it harder to see the environment and other objects in the game clearly.

So, if you have lights turned on, we recommend that you turn them off. If you are playing the game at daytime in a room with a lot of windows, then you can try using blinders to block out as much of the sunlight as possible.

3. If you still have a hard time seeing, then you can try using the in-game menus to change the brightness level.

In order to do so, you need to open the Options menu from either the title screen or pause screen. From there use the L1 and R1 buttons if you have a PlayStation controller or LB or RB buttons if you have an Xbox controller to switch to the Display tab. From there, you need to select the Brightness (HDR) option.

Follow the instructions on the first screen to adjust the maximum brightness level when playing the game in HDR.

You also need to follow the instructions on the second screen to further adjust the brightness.

4. You can also adjust the HDR brightness on a system-level.

In order to do so on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, for instance, you need to go to the system’s Settings menu and then select Screen and Video > Video Output > Adjust HDR.

If you are playing RE4 Remake on the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, then you need to go to the console’s Settings menu and then selecting General > TV & Display Options > Calibrate HDR.

Once you get to these menus, follow the on-screen steps to calibrate the maximum and minimum brightness of the HDR output from your console to your television set or gaming monitor.

5. Some screens are better than others when it comes to displaying darker content. So, if possible, you can try playing Resident Evil 4 Remake on a different screen to see if the dark areas in the game show off more details.

6. On your television set or monitor, make sure you disable any auto-dimming features that you may have enabled as these will make the brightness output darker in order to save on energy consumption and/or prevent screen burn-in.

In order to switch weapons in real-time while playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you need to use the directional pad. By pressing the left directional button, up directional button, right directional button or down directional button, you will bring up the heads-up display for changing your weapon.

If you have a hard time seeing this HUD, especially during the more intense encounters, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can make this overlay menu easier to see.

1. To start off, you need to open the Options menu, which can be done from the main menu.

If you are playing the game, then you can also open the same menu from the pause screen. To pause the gameplay, you can press the Options button on your PlayStation controller or Menu button on your Xbox controller.

2. Once you get to the Options menu, you need to move over to the Display section.

In order to switch sections with the PlayStation gamepad, you need to use the L1 and R1 buttons. For the Xbox gamepad, you need to use the LB and RB buttons.

3. After you get to the Display section, you need to scroll down and then move the cursor to HUD Opacity. This setting should have the following description:

• “Adjust the opacity of the in-game HUD (heads-up display) background.”

4. By default, HUD Opacity is set to Low. To change this to Medium or High, you can use the left or right directional buttons. You can also move the left analog stick to the left or right directions.

You should see a preview image of what the opacity of the weapon changing menu will look like with your current setting.

5. Once you are done changing the HUD Opacity setting, you need to press the circle button if you are using the PlayStation controller or B button if you are using the Xbox controller to back out of the menu and then return to your game.

6. When you open the real-time weapon switching menu, you should notice the change in the heads-up display.

If you pre-order and/or purchase the deluxe edition of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, then you will get several extra in-game bonuses. You can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can access these costumes, charms, attaché cases filters, deluxe weapons as well as the soundtrack swap.

How to change costume and swap soundtracks in RE4 Remake

If you want to change the costumes for Leon and Ashley, as well as swap out the soundtrack and sound effects of the remake for the original version of Resident Evil 4, then you can do so from the Options menu from the title screen. You aren’t able to change these settings from the Options menu if you access it from the pause screen.

To go back to the title screen, we first suggest that you save your game so that you won’t lose any progress when quitting. Once you are done saving, you need to press the Options button if you are using the DualShock 4 or DualSense. If you are using an Xbox One or Xbox Series controller instead, then you need to press the Menu button. Afterwards, select Quit Game and then Yes when asked to confirm your choice.

From the title screen, select Options and then Extras. You should then be able to change the OST and/or costumes from there.

How to unlock the deluxe weapons in RE4

In order to unlock the deluxe weapons in the Resident Evil 4 Remake, including the Sentinel Nine handgun and Skull Shaker shotgun that you get from the deluxe edition, you need to first look for a typewriter in the game.

For the uninformed, you need to use this object in order to manually save your progress.

Once you get to the typewriter, select Storage. You should be able to find the deluxe weapon you previously unlocked from there.

How to use charms and attaché cases in RE4 Remake

In order to use the charms and attaché cases you unlocked in the remake version of Resident Evil 4, you also need to look for a typewriter.

After opening the typewriter menu, you should then select the Customize Case option. In the next screen, you will be able to equip the charms and attaché cases that you unlocked.

When playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake on your PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X system, you may notice that tutorials will occasionally pop up.

4. To turn this feature off, you can press the left directional pad button, right directional pad button, move the left analog stick leftward or move the left analog stick rightward.

5. With the Tutorial Messages setting set to “Off,” press the circle button if you are using a PlayStation controller or B button if you are using an Xbox controller in order to exit the Options menu.

6. Once you return to your game, you should no longer see any tutorial notifications appear.

When you get hit, or your character is low on health, then the borders of the screen will flash red in the Resident Evil 4 Remake. This damage indicator can be very distracting, especially if you are in the middle of an intense encounter.

To see how you can disable this effect, you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech.

1. While playing Resident Evil 4 Remake, you need to open the Options menu, which you can do on either the main menu or pause screen.

2. From the Options menu, you need to navigate over to the Display tab.

You can change tabs by pressing the L1 and R1 buttons on the DualShock 4 or DualSense if you are using those game pads. If you are using an Xbox controller instead, then you need to use the LB and RB buttons.

3. Once you are in the Display tab on the Options menu, scroll down and then move the cursor over to Damage Display. This setting should have the following description:

• “Adjust how much damage effects are displayed on the screen.”

4. You can use the left directional pad button, right directional pad button, move the left analog stick to the left direction or move the left analog stick to the right direction in order to change the Damage Display setting to “Off” to fully disable the effect.

If you want to keep the damage indicator enabled but make it less distracting, then you can change the Damage Display setting to “Weak” instead.

5. Once you are done changing the damage indicator setting, you can save and apply it by simply backing out of the Options menu.

You can do so by pressing the circle button on the PlayStation controller or B button on the Xbox controller. The game will then save any changes you make automatically.
