My favorite part is how a lot of the dialog feels like it’s subtly “matured” in this version. There is a part early when you get Ashley where Ashley hears a roar in the distance and asks Leon “do they have wild animals here?” prior to them getting briefly separated, only for Leon to find out that roar was from a hulking monster with steel blades as arms. When he reunites with Ashley after fighting the monster and she asks if he is okay, he responds “I’m fine, you were right about them having animals here” It’s both a badass thing to say, and Leon protecting Ashley from the truth to avoiding her feeling even more afraid.

@snailthelostcow63 Год назад

That combat experience is spot on. The game really forces you to choose every options available. When you're unlucky with the last encounter where you waste many ammo, suddenly stealth became a very tempting option to thin out enemies in the next encounter. Getting rough with low damage and no explosives for crowd control, now you scour every single "red means boom" you can find with your eyes. And it's somehow felt good rather than demanding, it's actually amazing

The overwhelming success of Dead Space and RE4 remakes show just how much gamers still love the survival horror style. Hopefully we see a new golden age for these types of games. Even with the failings of Calisto Protocol, it's still one more game to nudge the meter back in this genre's favor.

Excellent review! I think you really illustrated why RE4R is such an outstanding success in terms of game design. One minor nitpick though...Leon was working with local Spanish law enforcement in order to locate the president's daughter. He was only following up on a potential lead and didn't know she was there in that particular village until just before he had to jump out of window. Hence the reason he isn't getting a massive amount of support from the start.

Capcom has done an amazing job creating the sense of accomplishment when all hope is lost. The way that the backend 'director' provides monumental wins for you, such as having no healing left or being low on ammo, is amazing. Something people will probably miss but it's definitely there.

@billyjenkins7951 Год назад

As for the Last of Us comments regarding gameplay, I think it's a pretty valid argument for lower difficulties. That being said, if you haven't already tried, I would go back to one of those Last of Us Part 1 or 2 encounters and try it on Survivor mode. Don't restart if things go south, just roll with it and see what happens. The limited resources cause you to use so many weapons and tactics in your arsenal and I think you'll find moments similar to RE4 when you do that (at least I did). Love the review and can't wait to give RE4 Remake a go here soon!

@@grandrtiv26 Since it's one of Sony's golden goose titles, I feel like they probably have to include those lower difficulties for the wider audience, but both Part 1 & 2 are absolutely meant to be played on Survivor or Grounded!

@muammalali854 Год назад

I was especially baffled by part 2's moderate difficulty where enemies feel damn near blind while hard mode make them look like the most realistic AI in a video game lol. I also agree the combat in the game is very dynamic, but it can be quite unchallenging in the lower difficulties (I'm guessing because it's a narrative-focused title and they'd probably prefer people experiencing the full story)

stealth was a welcome one, befitting for a survival horror game with resource management, adding gameplay variety on how you want to tackle faced situations. gameplay-wise, it's more dynamically engaging w/ parrying, ducking grabs, shooting, and CQCs; varies from pistol, sniper, shotgun & explosives that excel in their roles. Pulling it all off, it's satisfying when all connects.

@monsG165 Год назад

It’s the first game that I have completed multiple times since MGS4 on all the difficulties. Actually it is the first game that I have fully finished since MGS4. And I totally felt the similarities between it and a Kojima game but couldn’t put words into that feeling. The last console I had was a PS3 and to try RE4 bought myself a new PS5 and I can’t stop playing it every day after work, I have been sent back in time and having fun playing video games 10 years.

This game is such a trip. There are moments where you're like man did they remove that part and then it shows up later in a reimagined way that is even better. They took one of the best games of all time and somehow made it even better, hopefully the same can be said of the island which I just got to. The question whether or not a remake is necessary isn't even important at this point. This game is just so good, it's been a long time where I've played such a long game where every single moment is peak, usually many others that are rated super highly have moments that are boring or where you wish that it would end, but not this one. I've played 20 hours, just got to the island and I cannot recall lately a game where it was a masterpiece every single second. So satisfied, Capcom proving themselves as the best gaming company around.

@DelusioNic014 Год назад

Excellent analysis of Ada's tone and demeanor. I would also add that she's *trying* to be distant and cold rather than bored altogether. Since the events of RE2, she's had time to reflect: she got shot while backing down from shooting Leon, and she nearly lost the G sample. She got distracted, faltered, and almost failed her mission, which is something she doesn't believe a consummate professional should ever allow to happen. And it's not a stretch to think that she may have put the blame on her bond with Leon. So, she decided at some point that if she ever met Leon again especially while on a job, she wouldn't let that get in her way. She decided to be cold and detached and mostly succeeds, except that her intentions, decisions, and actions betray her anyway. She obviously still cares for Leon, and to an extent doesn't want an innocent college girl to be doomed to the fate looming above her. There is a struggle between these two sides - the outwardly distant and all-business Ada, and the inwardly human and emotional Ada. And Lily's voice acting captures one side of that very well.
