Gloria A Las Plagas! The Resident Evil 4 Remake is (mostly) great.
The Resident Evil 4 remake is the best of the RE-engine era of Resident Evil titles. Resident Evil 4 Remake took many lessons learned from the prior two remakes to heart to deliver an excellent remake.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is not better than the original Resident Evil 4, and I wasn’t expecting it to be. But the Resident Evil 4 Remake turned out about as well as I could imagine in this day and age.

There are several tweaks and adjustments to keep things fresh and keep you guessing within Resident Evil 4 Remake.
While there are some disappointing cuts and the story loses a fair amount of its charm compared to the original, it’s a remake that Capcom should be proud of. With Resident Evil 4 Remake, I’m hoping is the end of Resident Evil remakes and focusing on the future, although the ending seems to indicate otherwise.

I absolutely love the tons of world building they did in such surprisingly subtle ways. - Blue light stuns the Plagas --> That's why the merchant has blue lanterns and doesn't get attacked - If you look at a Ganado with the Biosensor scope you can see that the Plaga itself is located in the neck --> That's why a stab to the neck instantly kills any infected - A note mentions that Plagas can even infect birds --> That's why flashbangs kill crows - There are both an old and a new version of Las Plagas, the old one damaging the brain and being the one administered to the villagers and castle inhibitants, the new one being the one given to a few scientists and Krauser. The old versions pop out of every wound (e.g. after blowing off a Ganado's arm) and are the head-exploding variant seen in villagers, soldiers, etc, the new one giving Krauser a bit more control over his transformation. --> This implies that the old Plagas either entirely hollow out their victim and wear it like a skin suit or take over the nervous system with their tentacles, the Plaga's "main body" (the little bug thing in the injections) residing in the neck, which is also why the suits of armor are so wobbly in their movements. Las Plagas try to control the armor like a human skin suit, but they lack any pre existing joints and muscles, so the Plaga has trouble walking and attacking.

Krauser was like the definition of a textbook one-note character in the original, like he literally just shows up, banters with Leon a bit, then dies while the game pretends like there's some deep history between them without actually fleshing any of it out until after the fact with a side-game. He was just a Wesker goon who took the Plaga pill because it would make him stronger, but now he has his own motivations that actually addresses his history with Leon, even if he is copying some of his homework from Vergil.

Yeah, I have no clue what he's talking about with Krauser, but then again, like 3/4 of the video is, it copied the original, so that was great, this part did not, therefore it was not as good. The nostalgia blindness is really obvious here. He gives us a few points for the remake, but only when the Superiority is so obvious you would have to be insane not to see it (Ashley and Luis).

The only major thing I disagree with here is krauser, his role in the remake is way more interesting than "triple agent" like in the original, since we already had ada. Here he's Leon's darker reflection. Both of them went through a b.o.w. encounter ending in disaster, while Leon saw the terror of this, krauser saw the absolute power of it all, but this is where he no longer becomes one note. During his boss fight he explicitly says "without power you can't protect anything" not only that he still has all the dog tags of the men he lost in operation javier. While he not might admit outright, he still deeply cared about losing his men, and the betrayal of the u.s government. Also his insistent rookie calling of Leon stops the moment Leon finally deals the killing blow. Almost as if he was imparting a final lesson with his own death. Krauser most likely understood he was wrong in the end. Now you can call all this cliché, but I don't think you could ever call it one note. Especially compared to the original of "all for umbrellas sake" Krauser

One big change you don't have context for. The enemies are Spanish, and they now talk like Spaniards. The accents as well as the general manner of talking (use of "vosotros" instead of "ustedes") and the references to Don Quijote and Pulgarcito. I really appreciated this. Big part of the Spanish speaking fan community considered the "bad" accents to be part of the charm, however.

I think Krauser was actually an improvement. Instead of being just a thug with no agency that was working with Wesker, we now have a character that makes his own decision to join the Los Illuminados because of what he saw during Operation Javier. The fact that he's now Leon's superior instead of comrade in arms was also a nice change. It now gives them a Master & Apprentice connection. And since Krauser is the one who taught Leon, he knows his true potential. With that in mind, it makes their fight in the ruins not only a battle of ideals, Krauser, wanting power for the sake of self preservation, and Leon gaining power for the sake of protecting others., but also almost a final graduation ceremony for Krauser. He dies knowing that he'll live through the lessons Leon carries onward. There's a respect there that we don't typically see with other RE villains.

@@samueldeandrade8535 Judging from the new timeline and documents in the remake, Operation Javier / Darkside Chronicles will have a new storyline the original RE4 gave no backstory to Krauser and they expected you to just know him and why leon and krauser knew each other. The remake provides you with who he his making you feel like you know his character while also having a reason to go after him. Not to mention they show in the very beginning training with leon. Darkside Chronicles was released 4 years after RE4 was released. And judging from the dialogue and the notes found around the checkpoint we’ll be getting a Darkside Chronicles remake, that’ll probably do better in the story writing and give more backstory between leon and krauser and from the sounds of it we’ll actually see how Leon came to join the President and train with Krauser.

I disagree with some of your issues, mostly with the Krauser changes. The original Krauser felt a bit confused of a villain to me, but the remake really focused in on him being Leon's mentor, and their fight being a test of wills and beliefs. During his fight he keeps taunting you almost like a drill instructor, and his death is almost of a proud teacher. Makes me wonder what was under the plagas' control and what was his own volition.

With what happened to him there, you'd think he'd want revenge on the country that he served. And It's fair enough if you don't like the voice and lines, but in the remake, he's portrayed more as a tactical, well-trained, scarred soldier with a thirst for power.

Edit: or, as appears to happen in the game, it can cause a failure to eject. I need to watch the cutscene again. Leon racks the slide after picking it back up, ejecting either a spent case or an unfired round. I can't remember which.

Speaking as someone who absolutely *adores* the original like so many others, I have to say that the remake is so good in its own right. It takes everything established in the 2005 game and expands upon it in a way that makes the experience feel different yet familiar for newcomers and veterans alike. That's not to say it completely overshadows the original as there are a few key things, namely the radio banter between Leon and the villains and some small gameplay things like the reload animations not being as cool (I know, I'm a wierdo) and a better Ada voice actor that the 2005 game still does better. In conclusion, Resident Evil 4 (2023) is a tremendous accomplishment in filling the shoes of a game as big as the original. While the original still has its place and is still fun to play, the remake has plenty of changes that make it just as, if not more enjoyable experience. This is an instance where I am more than happy to have eaten the crow in regards to my doubts about this game when it was first announced. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I get why the og was special since the first time I watched someone play was one of the most fun playthroughs I've ever seen but playing the remake I finally got it yk? so I think the remake did its job of recapturing the magic imo

15:16 Yes he likes to smoke but it's his code word. He assumed when Leon found him he might be "Ada" or someone with Ada but wanted to be sure/safe.

I feel like krauser was still a very deep character through context. I might just not know much about the lore, but I took it as he used to be someone who would die to protect his troops. Then illuminados forced the parasite on him and he just became this corrupted version. When Leon turns back and shakes his head at krausers corpse I take that as Leon asking himself if that's going to happen to him too. Then he shakes his head no reassuring himself.

Krauser’s voice in the original was really great. That knife fight in the first meeting is fantastic. His actual introduction and relationship to Leon is awful in the original. The man just immediately starts spewing exposition and we are not given any idea of who he is and how he knows Leon. He is getting treated like another Ada but we simply did not have any background knowledge or familiarity with him which makes it fall flat. The aspect of playing multiple sides and being unsure with loyalties is done much better by Ada. Umbrella Chronicles does some good in explaining these issues but you shouldn't have to play a side game just to get a basic explanation on who is he. Bad writing is not always meant to be ambiguous. Remake Krauser serves well as a obstacle for Leon to overcome in regards to dealing with the past and trauma.

Hold up, you think Krauser actually making decisions for himself and being driven by his past is a character down grade to just being a pawn of a dude you don't even see in this game? I don't think I can agree with that one chief. They put a lot of work into fleshing Krauser out even changing his relationship with Leon to make the confrontations more poignant kinda like naked snake taking on the boss. You also kept referring to him as deranged but like he's the only one of the bosses who keeps control of himself when he transforms, he only goes as far as he thinks he needs to to beat Leon he is extremely in control. I mean to each their own, you can prefer whichever one you like best, but I really don't understand that point in particular.

I'm with some of the other commenters here about how the Krauser stuff is new. But also I want to point out that Ashley and Leon have a much nicer bond, which I can get behind. I actually really disliked some of the sections you mentioned before, with U-3, the level dragon treasure room, the Salzar statue chase, etc. Those sections always felt like padding to me, and drew the game out too much. I like how much cleaner and more logical the new spaces are in this game while also keeping those references and nostalgic visuals for me as an RE4 veteran. Also, the charms are really fun. This time I actually have a reason to play that minigame (to get those charm perks with tokens) instead of just getting hard-to-collect bottle caps for money. I like the perks with the drop rates and discounts a lot more than direct bottle cap money. Overall I personally think the re4 remake overshadows the original, though that's just my preference since I felt the original game from 2005 had too much cheese for my liking. I've always been a bigger fan of surreal horror and darker themes, which this remake clearly has more than the original. Yeah the original was funny and the gameplay was awesome, but the storyline was kinda forgettable and on-offish in some aspects. And also, just being able to move while reloading is an amazing and welcome feature which made me feel so much less stale.

Luis mentioning smokes constantly is partially because it's the codephrase he's supposed to use to identify Wesker's agent, so when Leon doesn't reply the way he's supposed to he just asks Leon to untie him instead. He then asks Ada and she responds as she's supposed to telling Luis she's the agent he's supposed to meet. Also one of the QTE failures made it into the remake as a death animation. If you fail the struggle with Krauser in the knife fight it recreates the death from the original if you failed the mash QTE at the end of the fight. Overall I like the tonal change in this game, it feels more in line with the modern games and also helps it stand out from the original. Like seeing an old cheesy horror classic get a surprisingly good modern remake which doesn't replace the original but they compliment each other (e.g original Evil Dead Vs 2013 Evil Dead)

I disagree with you about the music being forgettable. I think they're making the music phenomenal or even surpassing the original, both in the rearrangement and in the new score. In the original, most songs are more subtle, high-tension, creepy, and atmospheric than in the remake. In the remake, they added a lot of new songs that fit what they tried to present for the remake. What I like about the new take on Salaza's theme with the orchestra music reminds me of the Alexia theme from Code Veronica, with the arena that looks like a dancing hall combined with classical waltz music that really fits his royal characteristic in this version. El Gigante and Del Lago have their own themes now, or even the Shooting Gallery music was remixed from the intro, which is better than the original.

The soundtrack in the original was anything but subtle. It was probably the opposite.

Yeah, for real. As a massive bloodborne fan, that track felt like it took inspirations from the same sources! Gives me vibes of those gothic, almost early tim burton era of film type scores and it was fantastic. I will say, I wasn't too surprised by the direction they took with his track though, considering that introduction to RE Village showed just how much the current RE Team seem to be a sucker for that Tim Burton aesthetic. Brilliant track overall! I'm also a bit upset he didn't bring up that many of the tracks (not just the Mendez one) are essentially remixes of their original counterparts. Some were done better than others though, but I think the soundtrack in the castle overall was the best in the game, with the island being the weakest. Then again, can't say I was a big fan of the original Island tracks either - threw the distinct tone RE4 was riding on completely out of the window (other than the Regenerator track, which is absolutely phenomenal)

I love the remake tbh, compared to other remakes I think they totally killed it here. I love the expansions and some of the cuts. I love the new knife combat. The only downside, with risk to sounding like a bitch, is it’s difficulty. I feel like it tries to throw as many enemies as the original with 1/10th the ammo and health. I tried it at first on hardcore and had to quit halfway through cause I ran out of ammo completely and couldn’t continue, the first time I’ve ever had to restart an RE game cause of loss of resources. Even in standard, with fully upgraded weapons, on my third run, I was never good on ammo, it seemed like I was always on the brink of running out of some form of ammo. Only now that I have the infinite knife and rpg do I finally have surplus ammo for weapons I no longer have :| I love the new treasure mechanic. The OST is a bit lacking compared to the original.

Someone’s who’s first experience actually playing re4 was with the remake here . I just wanted to say I completely agree with you about the dialogue from bosses during boss fights and I’m surprised no one else is talking about it . Felt like I missed out on some stuff just because o was trying to focus. ESPECIALLY during the Krauser knife fight .their was so much exposition regarding his back story I felt like o had to just run away to listen to .

I do disagree with alot of what you said, I found the original soundtrack to be a bit bland all the tracks sound too similar/ have the same vibe except for a few. I do like how this re4 is more grounded in realism and less cheesy, I do miss the old dialogue but as you stated this is a more moody/ darker remake so to have them in would be silly. I am happy they cut the u3 fight, it seemed redundant and like filler. The voice acting I feel like was perfect apart from Ada, the big cheese, saddler and Ramon having a more Spanish accent was a nice touch. I do agree that it was disappointing not seeing the bosses transform, that would of made the game more scary/ intense.
@Kazuhira2249
@Kazuhira2249 Год назад
honestly my only complaint is the aim i hate how gigantic the crosshair gets after you fire i wish it was a scalar like first shot is perfect accuracy, second consecutive shot is a bit more and so on or you can pace it to always have good accuracy, the current system just feels like it punishes you for using too much ammo and if you move well better hope youre not using red 9 on anything that isnt shotgun range which is why i stuck with the og pistol throughout all my playthroughs because of the laser sight

OMG hardly agree with the combat. it felt more engaging as facings odds became more claustrophobic, led to ducking, parrying, CQC, and shooting. further along the game became more systematical as you switch between pistol, shotgun, sniper, and explosives as you micromanage incoming enemy varieties as you see fit and utilizing the surrounding comes as leverage.

How is the yellow paint a problem? I guess for us, used to playing games it's common sense to break crates and get itens, but for someone who is not used to it, the yellow marks helps a lot on finding out what you can interact with and where you have to go, without throwing it on your face with a big text or prompt, I really don't see how it can be any negative...

Man you really were upset about them removing that stupid statue chase. That was the DUMBEST thing in the original. There was something about the original RE4 I never liked and it was how different it felt from the previous entries. I think this remake masterfully balances camp and the dark tone to fit the overall style of RE, and more fitting to RE1 and RE2 remakes (RE3R is a joke, so doesn't count) It finally feels like RE4 belongs in the same universe and despite being heavily action oriented, you cannot deny its dark and horror tones. This actually feels like a horror game, which makes me very happy. Fuck the WS Anderson movie lasers, the dumb statue chase and the silly ass Bowser lava room in the castle. I'm so happy they cut that garbage out.

You said you were disappointed that they took the lava room with the moving dragon heads and the Salazar titan parts completely instead incorporating some of their aspects in the game, but they did …… they merged them just like they did with the recking ball room and with Ashley driving the truck. in the clock tower fight you can see a moving Salazar figure that launches fire at you that way they did exactly what you said you hoped they do 😅 they cut the parts but still incorporated their ideas so we don’t lose them completely

The inconsistency when it comes to head or knee stuns is a firepower thing. It's most noticeable on the island since enemies have bigger health pools. Enemies take more bullets to actually stun by definition, but you'll be wasting an unhealthy amount if you never upgraded your handgun's firepower. That's how I discovered it because my thought-process was to never upgrade the handgun firepower (because I never do in the OG) thinking I'd be fine. On one hand this mechanic shows just how OP the enemy stun in the OG is, on the other it's a expenditure necessity to feel comfortable through the later parts of the game (even if the game heavily encourages upgrade expenditures via other means)
