Honestly, Leon was lucky to have met a guy who sold him all those weapons for dirt cheap, pretty much. I mean, a rocket launcher for like what, €300ish? Deal of the century right there.
RE4 is basically Temple of Doom. A cult takes over a town with religious artifacts, there’s a castle with a small person who’s in cahoots with the cult and there’s a minecart chase, all while a young blonde woman is constantly screaming and is attracted to the hero. Not to mention they explicitly reference Raiders with the boulder
He’s had a few years of training and likely fighting “zombie” style monsters since raccoon city. I think the balance they hit with his ptsd and his absolute badassness was perfect in this lore wise
@garibaldibritann1240 They tried hard to show him do that, yes, but he still feels dull and weak. Again, he literally complains the whole game like he's tasked with doing paperwork.
@@cuttrogue He's still quips though and his quips in remake more of his respite rather his arrogance. But even though i still prefer his quips in the original
"No thanks, Bro!" If I had to be petty on the nitpicks here as well. What I personally find it less impactful was the transformation of Chief Mendez. Because in the original after the barrel of gasoline explods on him, we see in grotesque up close shot on how he transformed. As for the remake, the barrel explods and out of the smoke he's already in that state. So we couldn't see in horror how he'll present himself to us with his creepy stance. We just jump into the fight no, mind potentially being fearful what transpired before. (Yeah, I was scared to fight him the first time it happened and obviously caused me to die to him. Because nothing was as disturbing, aside from the first Plaga came out.)
It's worse for Salazar, he just falls into the dark void and reimmerges already transformed. It's mindblowing Capcom stopped animating transformations in these new RE games and there's no valid justification for this.
Honestly I prefer the original shooting gameplay of RE4. since I always like the concept that you had to stand still to shoot or knife anything, fitting perfectly well with the whole survival horror resident evil is all about.😺
The remakes gun play would’ve been so much better without the RNG bloom whenever you shoot in quick succession. This on top of enemy’s being bullet sponges with hardly any hit stun and with how slow Leon moves leads to gun play feeling annoying rather then fun. It’s still a challenge which in of itself is enjoyable, but it just not very fun to play especially on repeat playthroughs.
@@flightsimxbrutha if you played the remake and didn’t feel like John fucking wick by the time you were mid way through the game that’s a skill issue on your part lol. You can lay enemies down at nearly double the speed of the first game if you know how to actually shoot in the remake
I'm gonna be real, the first time Leon meets Ada in the OG was just such a great moment on showing how Leon is much more on top of his game as a USA agent because after the whole slow motion, backflip and knife on the neck, Leon had his hand on Ada's gun, took it from her, ejected the clip AND threw it away instead of just letting her keep the gun after all of that because he still likes her? Well, I still prefer the OG game, and I will say to play the OG first before the Remake to get a full grip on what was changed from the OG, but to anyone who says otherwise... "No thanks, bro"
Leon is also much tighter in how he controls. He genuinely feels like an athletic superspy, no movement wasted (at least in my hands, once I've gotten quite good) whereas by comparison in 4 he feels like how I think chris redfield should feel. Or drunk. Those two might not be mutually exclusive.
I actually liked that moment in re4 2005 as well because the last time Leon saw Ada it was back in 1998 when re2 came out and to see her again after six years felt rewarding where in the 2023 remake she sounded like she was more cold and distant towards Leon in contrast to the other games where it was nice to see her and Leon interact again!
I played the original for the first time 2 years ago. So I have no nostalgia to it. And I can honestly say it’s up there as one of my favorite games. So when I heard about the remake of course I was really excited. I got it played the whole game and while I liked it it’s gonna be a while before I play it again. I never disliked the Ashely mechanic in the original but the remake genuinely made me mad. I hate how there’s no “wait” option she ether follows or follows a far which makes no sense to me. The way every character feels so slow and sluggish makes moving around in fast paced moments more of chore. I love the gameplay especially the knife mechanic the remake isn’t something I’ll be looking forward to replaying in a while compared to how I love replaying the original a lot.
I much as I liked RE4make, I wouldn't really call it a an improvemwnt over the original. It feels more like the Bowser's Inside Story remake where the added stuff and updated visuals are neat, but the previous game was already of high quality and hasn't aged to the point of the improvements in the remake being that game-changing. It's more of a neat alternative than a definitive version.
I agree with you on the villains in the remake. In the Original they were the Perfect examples of Feux affable Evil. Those are villains who act polite and Friendly even to the Heroes, but it‘s all an Act and in the inside they are pure evil Villains that just want to see you suffer. This is the case of 4‘s Villains. They all talk friendly to Leon most of the time, while both we and Leon can see through their False Modesty and see them as the Sadistic Monsters they really are. Yet Leon’s sarcasm and The Villains feux affably evil nature always made their interactions more fun and enjoyable and it‘s sad it isn‘t in the remakes. Yes they still act as Gentelmans but their interactions Still make them less Fun to watch.
Right? I think it was just how blatant their ego was that it never mattered what you did and they just enjoyed seeing you squirm to find only despair in the end 😂
The originals QTE's annoyed the hell out of me. I remember trying to beat Sadler in Seperate Ways and I'd just be in the perfect position to pump him full of lead and a QTE sprung up, and I died every time.
Honestly, I largely enjoyed RE4 remake, and while I don’t think it’s a replacement for the original, it does compliment it in its own (heh) separate ways. Sure, I do prefer the OG’s more campy tone and think the villains are more much memorable (really wish they still at least kept the video calls from Salazar), but also like the more grounded, character-driven direction the remake went while still keep the charm with the Merchant’s dialogue and Leon’s constant quips. And while the added gameplay additions like weapon switching, strafing and the parry don’t dramatically overhaul the gameplay, they’re still welcome additions that change how you approach the gameplay and make then game feel far snappier and fast-paced, especially when on the higher difficulties. One big aspect I think the remake largely improves upon is the level design, since the OG RE4 is relatively linear where while there are some separate paths to take, once you’re done with an area, there’s little incentive to go back for it other than to pick up some missing treasures. Whereas each area in RE4R feels much larger and more realized, especially the castle, and allows you to backtrack in its entirety up until a certain point in order to do some optional merchant requests or reach some areas you couldn’t access beforehand. There are some minor gripes I have with it, like the gacha rolls for the charms being BS, the lack of i-frames making it easier than it should be to get mobbed by enemies, and only being able to put weapons and attachments in the item box instead of any of your items. But overall, I’d say this’s a stellar remake and managed to surpass RE2R as my favorite RE Engine RE game, and with the addition of Separate Ways and how much it expanded on Ada’s side of the story, it’s pretty much everything I could’ve hoped for in an RE4R remake: changing enough to where old players still get a fresh experience, but still keeping the core of what made the OG great for newcomers.
I definitely prefer the original the dialogue,characters,art design,pacing and soundtrack we’re better also the tank controls really suited the gameplay because you had to make a choice on whether or not you stand and shoot or reposition it makes the gameplay tense…also some small problems I have with the remake is the stagger inconsistency, random spread with the guns how absent the boss’s were “really missed the codex calls”day 1 dlc with the upgrade tickets and the deluxe edition items,the censorship is also something I despise in modern media and no I’m not referring to looking up Ashley’s skirt I’m talking about the dialogue.
Hmmm very interesting. I played the original and I have a good time with it. I have been curious about the remake for sometime and I must say that it's a good remake but have some issues I have with it. Also NO WAY BRO!
I love these vids. There’s so much civil discussion about things that while you can have a preference you’re not condemning others for having a separate one. I noticed too just how solemn and glum they made the remake. :x idk. I feel like if things went off plan original Leon would just go “ah damn oh wells let’s go” while remake Leon would just. Snap. 😂
*NO THANKS BRO* I'm sure the remake is a good game and I can see why stuff like the updated gameplay and the character expansions to Luis and Ashley could be seen as "improvements," but I honestly just can't get into it because people have been lauding it as a masterpiece that's objectively superior to the original and that the original is actually a dated janky and problematic game that ruined the series for decades and people just like because they're incels with nostalgia goggles. It's the reason why I refuse to play it, on top of me just thinking that RE4 didn't need a remake to begin with unlike the old PS1 and tank-control games, and seeing the comparisons to it, especially from Crowbcat, really confirmed my fears that a lot of times the game just feels like a soulless shot-for-shot remake that lacks what made the original so good (I once compared it Hollywood remakes and people got so angry at me, it was great, lol). Also, I find it funny how people say that Ada's new design is superior to her RE4 dress because that one looked "so goofy and impractical" (nice respect you guys have for iconic designs there, guys) and yet she's still wearing fuckin' *HIGH HEELS* which is like the #1 impractical design choice for female characters... also, her new dress in Separate Ways looks like *SHIT*
I don’t know if it’s just a me thing but it definitely feels like the swarms were a lot smaller this time, I could’ve sworn they had much more enemies charging at you in the original.
@@kevinclement1533there are not more enemies in the original. There are FAR MORE in the remake but you can move and shoot at the same time in the remake. In the original you were locked into being stationary as you attacked so you had more of a sense of being overwhelmed. In the remake you can position as you attack so that even though there are more enemies you have more options…..
I don't know how much RE4 remake really needed to be made but it was pretty fun and liked some of the things that were added/cut but I hope RE5 or Code Veronica get remade for sure
Kinda surprised you didn’t talk much about Krauser considering he got some of the biggest changes in the Remake, his boss fight feeling like a massive improvement for example, and how they took more time to develop his past history with Leon, with a more proper conclusion as well.
I mean ……my guy……you can straight up be John wick in the remake……shit is incredible gunplay wise lol…..also they didn’t add “weapon durability “, they added knife durability. That’s the only “weapon” that has any sort of durability stat…. Edit: and that’s fine if you prefer the originals way of doing it but if you’re going to offer any sort of a critique you gotta have your shit right. Especially for a game this legendary
"also they didn’t add “weapon durability “, they added knife durability. That’s the only “weapon” that has any sort of durability stat…." Ya know when you said "you gotta have your shit right", and you nitpick - Because Knife durability is still weapon durability. That doesn't make people wanna accept your point. It doesn't help that I actually did specify that it was knife durability: "I found knives to be used as a more defensive tool than anything else if an enemy actually got their mitts on me. And the knives have durability to them, which is a change from the original RE4 and was adopted from the RE2-Remake." So before you go and say get your shit right, how about you get your shit right?
Once the Remake came out I decided to finally pick up and play the OG on Steam. Now keep in mind I have never been a Fan of the RE Games, just not a Horror Game Fan nor do I like the Tank Controls, but I REALLY liked it. I took my time and beat it. I still have to go back and play the Extra Content, but it was a lot of Fun and I can see why its considered a Classic. I do plan to get the Remake some day so I can Compare it, but I think its rather telling that no one really talks about it anymore. I dont think that says its a Bad Game, but that it just wasnt a Classic like the OG is. EDIT: Fixed some incorrect Words.
No one talks about it because 2023 was absolutely STACKED with high tier games . Essentially every reviewer that was a big time fan of the original has stated that it is an improvement on the original but still allows both to retain their own flavor. The first one was is considered a classic because it revolutionized survival/action horror when it came out 20 years ago. It is essentially impossible for the remake to have the same impact from a mechanical level that the first one did. So the fact that everyone talked about it so highly regardless of that fact should tell you that you NEED to play the remake. You’re approaching this from the wrong angle my friend…..sorry to tell ya. You aren’t taking context into this situation at all which is clouding your judgement .
@@mookiestewart3776 2023 was not "Stacked" with "High Tier" Games, especially when RE4 Remake came out. First Quarter was filled with so much Buggy Crap that BG3 made people lose their minds when it came out. Also how is me deciding to get the OG Game first somehow the "wrong approach"? Yes, most agree that Remake improves the Game Play, but it didnt do anything amazing with it. Like you said OG RE4 did a lot at the time, and still does. The fact that I got it shortly after Remake came out and still found it a blast to play, when I am not a RE Game Fan, says a lot. I will pick up Remake once I finish all the Extra stuff in OG, and its on Sale, and I am sure I will enjoy it. The question is will I find it to be such an improvement that I wont want to go back and play OG again. From what I have seen I doubt it, but I do expect to have Fun seeing what they changed. Last thing is, how can my Judgement be "clouded"? I cant even begin to understand what you mean by saying that.
i can see the amount of kamen rider reference from the design of the tanuki girl being kamen rider tycoon ninja to the laptop being the skull symbol in w has manga kamen made a kamen rider foucused video
I beat the OG at least 30 times not including all the side content I've finished several times as well as unlocking the handcannon for my friends who weren't as good. I already beat the remake 10 times, got the platinum and I'm almost finished with my first playthrough of Separate Ways. Re4 is absolutely my favorite game, and I've mastered it inside and out. The only issues I have with the remake is the lack of the villains hacking Leon's comms and the shit talking that ensued, as well as Leon's character feeling noticeably drier personality wise.
Awesom video, MangaKamen. I liked your perspective of both games when in regards of your facusing the remake. But here's my opinion to you: For correction parrying can affect combat too. Like if you do a perfect parry (identified with quick flash context sensitive) it instanty stuns the enemy, giving the open for melee attack. This tactic is perfect against Armaduras which it reveals its Plaga form after melee attack and kill it with flash grenade which slightly saves ammor for later. And as for Ashley to be honest i prefer the remake one over the original due to improved relationship and characters of her. Now to be clear i like the original and i don't find her personality is annoying at worst but after i've seeing Leon and Ashley reunion in the castle i begin to prefer her than the original as Ashley in the remake takes a boot of her courage felt realistic witthout feeling overpowering Leon which is my favourite highlight of the remake. But yeah i missed her falling from jetski during island escape to give sense of humour after their trials and tribulations. This is same goes for Luis Sera and a choice of him getting killed by Krauser instead of Saddler is a clever choice made by Capcom as it makes sense for personal guard to clean up the mess and makes Saddler more calculated and i prefer the remake Krauser encounter than in the original as i have more control to the combat (not dissing the original as i like the original Krauser's first encounter too). To be fair though the removal of "ballistics" quote is first appeared in he original VR game so it's not a new thing. Ada Wong's new VA is decent for her work but i think she need more time to improve her voice acting. I agree that stealth in this game felt underwhelming at best for the game as enemies don't instantly detects you even at very close of them that is high chance to be detected. I like the knife mechanic to have durability and a cost which persuades players to prioritise of what should be spend, the same goes for body armour which also available in all difficulty. But it irks me that enemies now bullet spongy which limits player to use melee attack and some nerfs like accuracy of magnum weapons now worse than the originial and how they butchered the Handcannon's exclusive damage upgrade which is kinda insulting (thank god they kept infinite ammo upgrade) considering the original full upgraded Handcannon felt like you hold a handheld artillery. This is same goes to Chicago Typewritter (now Chicago Sweeper) but i appreciate the weapon needs to be upgraded as opposed to full upgrade from the start. I'm also appreciate more collectable weapons in the remake, giving more explorations By the end of the day i view both original and remake of Resident Evil 4 as equal. Both have their own merits which i interest to play both of them (hope i get the HIgh end laptop and the game too) for funzies. And most importantly i'm happy both versions of the game can coexist as opposed to remove the original to make a space for the remaster/remake like what Rockstar games and Blizzard Entertainment did to their own masterpiece
Remake imo is better than og in almost every single way. Story, tone, graphics(duh), guns, gameplay, movement, horror, characters, mechanics, bosses, set pieces, soundtrack, balance, pacing, replay-ability, challenge, etc. There are very few things the og does better. Of course that means that there are things that og does better but not much.
No Thanks, Bro. The OG I think for a product of its time, a timeless experience. Now the boulder QTE is still one that I struggle with because my fingers tend to give out after being stressed like it. Otherwise, I think some of the choices while nicer, tend to age a bit faster than what came before. Hilariously, the OG was slightly more realistic with Leon igniting the fire which leads to the explosion where as the remake just shoots it like you're in Half-Life and it just explodes.
Bought the Collector's Edition as I'd heard the game was legit amazing and I was glad I did. Graphics, story and everything is rock solid all around, I legit don't feel like I wasted a cent. Only complaint I have is the villains, Saddler, Ramno and Mendez don't really do much or have much of a personality outside of Creepy Cultist, Creepy Little Guy, Creepy stalker. Krauser was the exception.
The shooting being shaky when you’re aiming is due to the fact that they now encourage you to stand still to stabilize your aim instead of moving and shooting. They want you to play like the old game but allow you to play the game like a newer one
It’s a good game, but I wouldn’t consider it a good remake, per se, if you consider a good remake improvement over the original game while keeping the heart of the original as well.
I never find original Ashley annoying either, actually. I think its because the character model in the original made Ashley look like a teenager. And teenager being whiney and mopey is a common thing. Sooo yeah. Not annoying. Just a hassle because of that one escort mission. Escort mission is always a hassle in video games, really 😅
You have great points and many I agree with. I disagree with the QTs though. Just a personal thing really, so not knocking you for it. I always hated them, specially with the Krauser fight >.< You have NO idea HOW MANY TIMES I have to see the same thing over and over cuz I kept pressing wrong buttons and my reaction times are pretty poor. XD Makes your hand hurt too. So the remake version really made it lot easier for people like me. I also do agree with the main villains of the game. They're not as fun as their older versions. I thought I try shooting those intercom things that Ramon would talk to Leon with to see if I get an easter egg reaction from him....but...sadly nothing :C Just some dumb creepy laughing. Man he really became boring I'm surprised you didnt say anything about Merchant's change in personality though. What do you think of that? For me, it really made it feel like we're best friends already lol He's gotten quite fun, and pretty funny. One tiny little nick pick is that he's... a little TOO chatty...but thats just me. I do love him to death lol
"No thanks, BRUH!" (Yeah, putting my spin into it.) You can't call yourself a veteran of Resident evil 4 (original) if you never solo Krawser with only the knife. (It's honestly not that hard, get at good angle of the stage as presented in the gameplay or just move for a little and aim for his exposed leg.)
Eventhough I think this remake is a amazing game, I think it lacks a lot of the charm the original had. The goofy moments and dialogue made the game stand out. Also, eventhough they made Ashleys character deeper and more I love her new personality and conversations with Leon, I hate her AI compared to the original. I can see myself playing the remake again in the far future, but the original will stay way more replayable to me
The remake isn't a replacement. I didn't play it, So I can't give proper feedback like you, but overall, It seems like a great game. I just wish I could use the knife more, Like the Original. That knife was my guardian Angel. And the changes they did to the villains and Leon's Snark... No Thanks, Bro.
Even on Hardcore (which I'd say is when the difficulty becomes more survival action rather than just action like in normal) though the knife can be destroyed you'll find yourself often stacked with knives. There's also an unlockable knife if you get all the salazar statues that has infinite durability.
@@Blue-Apple-fc9eo First of all, I did watch the video. Seconed, I know that I can parry in the remake. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that beacuse the knife in the remake has limited use, You can't use it like you did in the og. I always uses the knife in the og to destroy my enemy. One shot to the head or knee, kicking them, and slashing them to death. But in the remake, You have to be careful, Since the use of your knife is limited. It's not a bad design choice, It's just a double edged sword in my opinion. And If I ever play the remake, I'll have to adapt a new way of playing, For better or worse.
@@עידומחלוף-ר4ח However there are still a lot of ways to use the knife in RE4 besides parry and in my opinion one of the most versatile equipment in Leon Kennedy.
I don't think that the RE4 remake is bad, but they really need to stop remaking the RE games. It's just becoming so unnecessary when they can put that effort into a brand new RE game with the same over-the-shoulder gameplay alongside the Ethan Winter FPS games.
No thanks, bro! But yeah, the lack of B Movie flavor and the treatment of the villains is my biggest gripe with the remake. Other than that I think it did a great job at being a remake.
Personally I don't think even Capcom itself wants this game to be a replacement for the original (expecially since RE4 is one of their games that got ported so many times it's kinda become a joke itself). They prob just heard people talking about a possible RE4 Remake after the others, saw that the original game still sold fine with all the ports and thought of redoing it with a modern spin. So the whole journo praise is mostly there because they made a game that mostly applies for modern audiences. Still a goddamn good game but made with a different view. Also the many references and jokes that are still there is mostly for flavour, like many other games do. At this point I stopped being influenced by them that much.
No Thanks Bro. Good video and I agree that Capcom is no longer setting trends but following them. Nothing revolutionary here when you're pretty much copying mechanics from other AAA 3rd person games now. I don't think RE4 2023 is bad, but it definitely doesn't replace the original like RE1 Remake 2002 did for RE1 1996. I'd prefer to see a remake for Code Veronica or Dino Crisis. But it looks like it will be RE5 next getting the remake treatment. I think I'm getting burned out with RE. I didn't care for Village at all, RE3 2020 was a big disappointment, and now Capcom is remaking games that don't need them. Man I miss the crazy 2000s.
The stealth of this game is a bit misleading I feel. Enemies are very deaf to running footsteps, so you can sprint behind an enemy and just stab them for an instant kill.
Yes and no. You can do that but you have to be fast and make sure to hit the prompt as it appears otherwise they will turn around and notice you. Especially in Separate Ways where you can fudge up a stealth kill and even if you do get them the others are alerted 😂
Ashley in the OG felt like an actual character the player was in charge of protecting and rescuing. In the remake she feels like a tourist just tagging along for a fun ride. Take the first garrador fight for example, in the OG you have the option to take Ashley with you, in the remake you get separated via a scripted event. Whichever way someone spins it. Ashley is a massive downgrade in the remake, gameplay and mechanics-wise.
I prefer the remake myself. With the original I fell off *super hard* towards the end, I just felt the island sequence was the game overstaying its welcome. Meanwhile, with Remake, I was glued to RE4 the entire. I just simply prefered the gameplay. But I DO agree that playing both games is *very* important, as they both have very different ways of going about things.
hey rally up gamecube kids ! Also I can somewhat understand not wanting to go all in with the goofyness. Sometimes that kind of humor can easily makes you roll your eyes. I think it worked in RE4 but it could easily lean into "witty" movie humor which is incredibly annoying. You really need a competent writer to make it work.
If you're referring to me, you've been subbed to me for a year, and I criticized the choice of using senorita in place of the original dialogue - and I even pointed out that Ashley's anger is misplaced because of that.
That gameplay for New RE4 looked so boring. I had no intentions of playing the game but now I'm definitely never playing it, it just looks like RE4 but with additional mechanics tacked onto it.
RE4R adds a parry move that fundamentally changes how you fight enemies, along with charms that have passive abilities and far more seamless weapon switching due to not having to pause the game each time to do so. But whatever floats your boat, I guess.
@@amirgarcia547 "BUT DUDE NEW RE4 HAS PARRY MECHANICS AND YOU CAN MOVE WHILE SHOOTING AND AND AND" Incredible. RE4 expected players to have an IQ higher than 90 and would reward their Character Positioning skills by letting them breeze through the game. You're an unstoppable killing machine in RE4, but in New RE4 you just HAVE to be an impenetrable wall as well. Using 2 seconds of planning to avoid obvious combat death scenarios? Lol nah just parry these animations that the NPCs telegraph a year in advance.
@@Westilethe og re4 is so easy😂. You just stand there, shot one guy in a crowd of enemies and he is guaranteed to stagger. Then you walk up and kick him and all 8 of his buddies down. Anyone that doesn’t die you finish off with the invincible knife and that’s it. And that’s all the game is😂. And you will NEVER have an issue because enemies don’t really rush you. They will jog up for a bit but then they just stop for some reason and slowly march. And the remake still encourages positioning and mindfulness of your surroundings and does it better with the added movement of your character as well as the smarter and far more dangerous enemies. The oh was an absolute joke of a game on any difficulty whereas the remake you actually have to have…skill. And there’s actual decision making. Have to be mindful of your resources…like a Resident Evil game. And your position…like a resident evil game(especially with the new and improved Ashley mechanics).
@@thatoneguy1232 Judging this game around your 14th Knife-Only run isn't all that interesting. You weren't doing META stuff like that on your 1st or 2nd playthrough. (unless you played RE4 with Wii-mote or mouse controls, cuz the game is definitely E Z with those.
No thanks bro but i gotta be honest, the more i see of these remakes makes me genuinely curious how a Dead Rising 1 remake would go. Because at this point, its clear they will change things, but how do you change a game to be more modern when no other game has a spiritual succesor or inspiration from it. DR2 and up had combo weapons so even they didnt fully replicate using only single items as weapons. Also would they change some tricks and cheese strats used in the original and kinda troll the players like when Leon falls through the floor in the remake when in the village. (I honestly would love that)
A quick thought. Can you only parry with a knife? I think the parrying gameplay will be a lot cooler if Leon parry with the gun instead. So you can parry AND shoot in a quick movement. RE is all about the shooting, baby 😂
Not that late, the game was "completed" two weeks ago with the reléase of Sepárate Ways... Anyway, definitely the GOTY, just like the original is still the GOAT...crazy how Capcom managed to catch lighting in a bottle TWICE with Resident Evil 4.
Gonna go ahead and say that the new scene with the first Ganado is better. It tutorializes the fact that melee attacks into walls deal more damage and that you can parry with your knife prior to it actually becoming relevant in gameplay.
I really enjoyed my time with RE4R. I never played the original back in the day so I don't have nostalgia for it like others do. I played it pretty late in life but I do think the remake loses some of the charm of the OG. The dialogue, setting and changing some things i didn't like. No radio calls with Salazar was disappointing, Ada VA is really bad and didn't like Salazar overall design.
The remake sucks in the scripts department. It heavily toned down to not offend the easily offendable peeps. It may be just one thing, but the script is pretty huge in RE4.
OG RE4 didn't have the best main storyline, the writing was more effective in key moments. While the Remake "fleshed out" some things, they also created new plot holes which is inexcusable seeing how the original was released in 2005. Biggest example being Jack Krauser miraculously meeting Los Illuminados....a cult whom prided itself in being isolated from rest of the world....without a heads up from Albert Wesker.
@@GibramRivera-sy2nr Agreed it was better Leon killed him. If we're talking about shills for the Remake, they would misconstrue Sadler's line of "did you think I would really trust an American" as nonsensical campiness yet that quote rings true in the original. Why would a cult priding themselves in self-isolation be so quick to trust Krauser? Seeing how Oswell E Spencer funded the Overseer's projects in Revelations 2 as revealed in RE5 Lost in Nightmare's DLC, there's a strong chance Wesker/Spencer funded the military base in RE4 with vendor connections via Krauser to retrieve the sample only to of course have that promise broken. The underground bioweapons industry is basically another form of organized crime after all.... ^4 Remake could've elaborated on that subplot yet decided to go in a direction that basically made very little sense for the sake of being more melodramatic.
I never played the original. But I played the remake. It's actually a pretty good game. Certainly better than resident evil 7 and village. Must play. I finished this game multiple times in professional difficulty. I rarely play any game twice. It's that good.
13:36 Stealh has its moments but it’s hard to go stealthy in a game that’s implementing stealth… when said game’s maps are 1:1 from a game that didn’t have stealth in it at all.
It mostly depends since there are some new areas in the game that incentivize stealth, like the house at the beginning of the game or the factory area where you lose your stuff and need to get it back.
