so anyway. I have bought a new laptop with rtx 5050, so now I can play RE games higher than 30fps. and the more I replay the games, the more I start to really hate the handguns in the REmakes, particularly 4 and 9. at first I thought it was just quirky japanese coding where the guns feel shit at low fps, but no, the handguns are just represented poorly in RE games.
first of all, handguns in real life are not like handguns in RE games. they dont have crazy recoil and you can shoot it as fast you can pull the trigger. I mean a glock 17, even with full auto switch doesnt go wild with recoil and can shoot fast.
so with the RE1 and 3, I can somewhat forgive how handguns are shit there, I just blame Kendo, extending the M92F magazine with
additional bullets but possibly reducing the rate of fire and probably adjusted the trigger pull weight from average of 3kgs to 20kgs so its harder to pull and shoot fast. so who ever made/customized the STI eagle in RE3 is a better gunsmith than Kendo, because it shoots faster than the Samurai Edge, which is what you want.
with RE2 remake, I can forgive it somewhat because Leon is a rookie cop and Claire is a civilain and using a revolver.
in RE3 remake, I can somewhat forgive it, since Jill just scavenged a handgun from a dead cop, so it may be possible that the handgun for normal cops are just single action only with higher trigger pull weight
with RE5, I can somewhat forgive it too, because Chris didnt bring his guns (except his guns, get it?) and had to rely from a supplier, so he probably got a shitty M92F, but even then, it has a laser sight attached to it.
RE7 and 8 is forgivable because Ethan is a civilian anyway.
RE6 is probably the best way the handgun is represented, Leon can shoot it quite fast and there's not much recoil, and it has a laser sight attached to it.
but REmake 4 and 9 has the shittiest handguns ever. the firing rate is too slow, the reload is too slow, the recoil is bad, and Leon didnt bring a gun with a laser sight or even a holo sight.
for reference, here's someone shooting a M92F in one hand,
TL

R; Capcom needs to make handguns not shit in RE games just for the sake of game balancing
