Let’s break the smaller Mercenaries patch down
Since launch, theResident Evil 4remake housedan interesting issue on PS5 in the form of a flickering screen. Thankfullyupdate 1.04fixes that, and adjusts a few other things: in addition to adding Mercenaries. Let’s dig in.
The main purpose of update 1.04is to add Mercenaries mode, a gametype that allows players to take on three levels with four characters until they eliminate 150 enemies: at that point their score is tallied based on parameters like combo chains and takedowns, and you’re able to repeat the processuntil you unlock the Handcannon, or get bored.
The rest of the patch is mainly bug-related. The aforementioned flickering lights issue is addressed, as well as “blurry environments” on PS5. On Xbox Series X/S, there was a deadzone controller issue (the range in which the controller’s sticks don’t respond to movement), and the game’s framerates have been improved on Xbox across the board. Capcom also notes there are “miscellaneous bug fixes” across all platforms, but doesn’t elaborate.
