Moist Meter | Resident Evil 4 Remake 

I loved when Leon said "the residents are evil, all four of them!" Truly game of the year

We should not take this era of Capcom for granted at all. Their consistency over the last 5-6 years has been absurd.

Fun fact. The charm that gives you running speed looks like the striker. In the old re4 there was a glitch with the striker that made you move and shoot 1.5× faster.

I love how Charlie says the puzzles were braindead, meanwhile Jerma spent like 20+ minutes in the hexagon pieces puzzle and needed Chat's help lol

Leon just mag dumping into people mid-monologue was a fantastic new touch. A very Leon thing to do.

One thing I like about Leon is that he’s an actually decent person. He’s not arrogant (even though he LOOKS like he would be). Same goes for Ashley. There’s no manufactured drama between them. The original developers could have easily made him snarkier toward Ashley and they could have made Ashley more of a spoiled brat. But they didn’t. There’s no douchiness that’s meant to pass off as interesting character traits (looking at you, Atomic Heart and Forspoken). No quirkiness just for the sake of it. It’s just a guy on a mission, fighting for his own survival, and trying to rescue Ashley and keep her safe. And they’re both more human because of it.

The fact that I feel like I would only need one hand to count my problems with this game tells you how much love they put into it.

Ashley be like hmm today i will be kidnapped over 50 times

Nobody ever mentions the music. The music in this one was spot on. Every time you fight the music just pumps you up the right way. Gives the rush. And it stood out from other games for that.

I love the +8% movement speed charm being the Striker shotgun. There's a popular glitch in OG RE4 called the Ditman glitch that allows you to use the Striker to boost Leon's speed by x1.5. The bonus speed on the Striker charm is such a nice nod to that.

I've always loved how Campy the acting and writing was in the Original games, While the acting has gotten better, the Campiness stayed, Leon still drops cheesey one-liners, and I love it, they kept the Humor and levity while making the gameplay SO MUCH better.

I love that for the most part it takes itself seriously, but Leon also still has campy ass lines between cutscenes and is okay cutting off a monologue by capping a guy. They did a good balance

i really liked Leon character in this game it really shows the difference between him in re2 and after the gruesome training he went through

Great game a truly well done remake.

RE4 with stealth mechanic is a welcome one, as it adds gameplay variety mostly for a survival horror genre with resource management, and depending on how you want to tackle faced situations.

Today's Fact: In 2020, a group of scientists discovered a 'zombie' planet that appears to be dead, but is still emitting radio waves.

The one liners still made me chuckle! I think they did a good mix of campiness and was glad to see it take a litte bit more of a dark direction and as you said you can still feel the DNA of OG there.

I will always remember chopper Mike and his noble sacrifice. RIP Mike.

just wanted to say that yes the puzzles change based on the difficulty you play. When you have to upgrade the keycard in the facility the puzzles where you have to route power were incredibly hard on hardcore.

RE4, even after so many years.... STILL terrifies me in such a terrific way.....especially those regenerators...........

I liked the re3 remake for what it was, but it definitely needed to include all the areas and enemies from the original for it to be truly phenominal

I love how they improved Ashley! She is really independent, brave and sweet than the original!

Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Dragon's Dogma, Street Fighter. Gigachad Capcom releasing consistently good games for years filled with love. Not an ounce of regret pre-ordering their games.

Charlie: “the visuals and the game were great” Charlie from the livestream: “trying to make sense of what is happening in front of him”

Honestly, the remake is fantastic and I would nearly call it flawless if not for Ada's voice actress taking me out of any immersion I had with every scene she speaks in.

There was one point during a cutscene where I had to go rewatch it because the way Leon’s hair moved looked so realistic I thought it was live action. Maybe im just a nerd but its the small technical advances like that that I always look out for and appreciate

Used to pull all nighters with my best friend beating this on the gamecube together. Core memory game and couldnt be happier with the remake. Nostalgia was absolutely achieved and i love that i get to enjoy this again on newer graphics ❤️

I'm really getting old. I was 13 when the original came out and it was an absolute blast.

I remember buying RE4 deluxe edition in October 2022 and was shitting my pants how excited I was. Normally I never pre-order games, but I definitely had to take a risk with this one, and damn, my expectations were exceeded and I am damn satisfied. Capcom did an incredible job

As a RE4 vet I’m pleasantly surprised that I’m getting smoked so constantly playing on Hardcore lol

I'm at chapter 9 now and I can say it's a faithful recreation and done masterfully!

I'm just glad Leon's still a goofy boyo, I lost my shit when my man still said the bingo joke

merchant now has a vital part with upgrades, befitting of a survival horror genre with resource management, seeing how essential upgrades were mostly for the knife durability. the side quest utilize the vicinity and rewards various resources, which gives replayability whenever what loadout you prefer.

The only things that were left out were the truck's defense sequence, the U-3 boss fight, and the tacky Lazer dodging sequence. Overall, they added so much depth to everything that you don't even notice until you think back on the OG and compare. This game is everything it could be and more, in my opinion.

Even if you've played the remake, OG RE4 is still worth experiencing. I highly recommend those who love the remake to buy it when it's cheap on steam (there's an amazing fan mod that remasters the og)

if the humor falls flat, then it's a classice resident evil game.

This was such an amazing review if this game, as a fan of the classic and this one as well.

To hear him say the puzzles were braindead shocked me, some of them actually differ depending on what difficulty you're on. The only ones I really had trouble with were the computer power puzzles on the island where you had to get the power to 5 of the spots. On lower difficulties I think it changes and needs less spots powered

re4 was one of my favorite games as a kid and i still play it from time to time. i cant wait to play the remake ❤

This one is sooooo good. The action, scenes, areas, all feel loyalty recreated

Been thoroughly enjoying this game through and through. Loving the new charms and attaché cases. I changed Ashley’s outfit to the “Romantic” one, cause the original was super tacky. I’m using old sound effects so it’s even more nostalgic. I love the way the story changed, it actually made it much more enjoyable and the way it plays out almost makes it seem more like you’re playing an interactive movie. Almost like the devs took inspiration from like the last of us, or the quarry. There’s so many changes it’s basically a completely different experience while it still maintains the nostalgia and a lot of the original story just played out differently and sometimes in different order from the original game we all know and love. You don’t know where all the jump scares are, don’t know all the new puzzles by heart, you don’t know where all the bear traps and everything are so you still get caught off guard. The first big battle, the village with Dr. Sal, caught me completely off guard speaking of which, even on standard difficulty. The AI is so much more advanced and are definitely designed to work together and flank to blind spots. And even when you get overwhelmed or need to reload and run away, the groups you aren’t near don’t move so you end up running away from one group directly into another seconds later unintentionally pinching yourself. Needless to say, the game looks beautiful, which just adds even more to the experience. This is by far the best remaster or remake of any game ever. And… you can replay it all over without it ever seeming to get boring or old. I’m in love.

It’s crazy that the foundations that made the original game a masterpiece haven’t been changed too much and they still hold up more than most games. Was worth the pre order.

Having beaten all resident evils this goes down as one of my favorites ❤️

The puzzles do get harder between hardcore and standard, as well as some encounters like the lake monster having more rubble to navigate around, or areas having different enemy placements.

i honestly think this has a chance at game of the year, i loved every second of this remake, even the parts i remember not liking that much in the original, like the double el gigante fight which was insanely hard for me as a little kid

I fucking love this game, it was so worth the wait for me. Going for 100% on this one just like I did on the PS2 as a kid.

Resident evil 4 remake was yet another faithful masterpiece

They definitely redeemed themselves with this Remake and I'd say it's close to being the best one so far only because I have a soft spot for RE1 Remake. I agree with the nitpicks about certain characters interactions from the original game not being there and Saddler really takes a backseat rather than having cheesey banter with Leon through comms calls earlier in the game. Definitely experienced the clunky input buffering sometimes like you did which leads to me getting hit but apart from it's an amazing game.

This year is already so full of amazing remakes and remasters, already have RE4, Metroid Prime, and Dead space. Let’s see if any more come out

currently playing the OG RE4 first. loving it. cant wait to play the remake

stealth mechanics, resource management, shop system being vital, players choice that affects the game as player's progress with different moral endings, dynamic environment, the handedness, evnironmental storytelling, puzzle-solving

Loved the moment where Leon said: *These residents, they're evil."

Resident evil has so much nostalgia for me, I remember the day I got it my brother took me to see King Kong in the theater and on the way home bought me Resident evil 4 on the ps2. What a great time it was to be growing up.

Damn Charlie, Golden Attache is pre-order exclusive. That’s F’d up. Was looking forward to getting more money.

Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. I beat the original over 10 times playing through it on the Wii back in the day. I gotta say, using the Wii remote to actually aim the reticle really added a lot of realism and immersion to it. I just picked up the remake yesterday and I'm loving it so much so far. I love how they made it different enough to still feel like a new title while also staying true to the original. Absolutely amazing.

Just finished my first playthrough on standard taking my sweet ass time soaking it all in and clocked in at just under 24 hours. I LOVED IT. 11/10 Masterpiece.

You appreciate the changes they have done to the areas when comparing the two it feels like a new game, knew it had to be 90% I want to see what a 100% game looks like

I wish Leon went to bingo with everyone for a secret ending.

Great review Moist 🔥 I really wanna play this fantastic game!!

I was very excited about this game when I heard it was coming out. A little worried but i can finally breathe again sigh of relief this game is lives up to the hype

Thoroughly enjoyed this game, wanted to start it right back up after completing hist like the original. There is a free update April 7th for mercenaries as well.

I hope RE5 Remake will be just as good

Still playing through it now, castle stage, story and graphics are amazing, even re downloaded 2,3 and village to play through them again

I grew up watching my older brothers play this game so pretty cool getting to play it myself with some new stuff

I was glad they didn't cut much but they did remove the U-3 or "it" section which was one of the bosses that Leon had to fight, but according to some in-game notes that you can find, "U-3" was designated as one of Salazar's bodyguard (the one in the black robe called "Pesanta") instead of being a monstrous chimera that Saddler introduces to you so I guess it is not completely cutoff from the game.

I’m so excited I still play on ps2 I waited my whole life for this

I found myself being thankful for being alive at this time to play it, that's how excellent this game is. Best game since, RDR2. Side note, hearing Leon completely whif one liners cracked me up. Ashley's cheering at the shooting range was fun as well.

100% agree, the games a blast. Still retains all the OG goodness with a modern update. My ONLY gripe is the knife breaking system. Especially on hardcore when enemies are bullet sponges and you can find yourself out of ammo fast in certain situations. You end up wasting so much money repairing your combat knife that could have went into upgrades.

Resident Evil has 100% lived up to the expectations.

Nice to see us really starting to get a breakdown of the goof-o-meter

Love to see this game getting praise, Re4 (2005) is a masterpiece and looked amazing on Nintendo GameCube. 😃

Definitely a phenomenal remake

What a great Video, thank you charlie moist!

gotta love the GS ad at the end

Thank you for this video. RE4 was one of my favorite games growing up and this looks like it stays true to the original while adding content. Will be buying this.

After watching last video I can definitely say that the zombies didn’t emulate the fear that you gave us Charlie

The island in my opinion is definitely an upgrade from the original. I love the original but the island was always not as fun (still fun) as the rest of the game. Both games are so good and I’m very happy with the remake. And I like how the new ending cutscene provides more development for ada and seems to hint at a re5 remake. Doesn’t need one but I would love one or code Veronica

Amazing review

The original in VR is one of my favourite titles to date. I doubt they'll port this but here's hoping

No one better to review the game than good old Ethan himself.

The anime short commercials they have been releasing online for the remake is where all the goofiness went by the way, they are hilarious!

I play re4 on game cube,wii,ps2 and ps4 and I can say I think it’s really good especially the updated mine cart section

stealth mechanic is a welcome one for a survival horror with resource management, it gives gameplay variety when it comes to how you want to tackle faced situations, its also streamlines to gameplay since making the gameplay dynamic and engaging since you can parry, aim, shoot, and duck grabs and projectiles.

It’s actually so fun and super intense dude. Was up all night playing it. Felt like an hour passed when really it was a solid 5 hours. Almost every little sound made me jump! Yall gotta play it, definitely tops Resident Evil Village in terms of fun.

I really liked the Remake, really cool they kept the Leon one-liners, a wonderful game and probably my favourite Resident Evil game.

The only RE games I played are 4 5 and 6. And the racoon City one. RE 2 remake was on sale so I'm playing it for the first time. I'm loving it

I’ve never played the OG (Not new to the RE series played 7 and village and RE2 remake before this dropped) holy cow I absolutely love this game so much its scary fun and a enjoyable experience

The puzzle comparison is funny cause when i watched him live it was literally like watching someone try and a shove a square into a circular hole on almost every puzzle it blows my mind that hes made this far alive let alone a millionaire

As someone who’s never played the original series, I’m so happy they’ve been remaking these games. I wonder if they’ll do resident evil 6 but actually make it good 😂

Ada always been my all time crush in every video game I play and I'm glad this remake make her more beautiful.

This has easily become one of my new favorite games.

Thanks for rescuing me and my whole platoon in Vietnam, Charlie. I'll never forget you.

Its so goated, was so hyped and i played the original, and it stayed quite true to it. Shit made me excited as hell

i’m glad you mentioned the game being longer because i keep seeing people complaining that it’s short because of one boss fight being removed. my first playthrough of the original was about a year ago and it took me 7 hours to complete. this remake took me 13 hours and i wasn’t doing much of the side quests or looking for treasures. if i had to go off the main path or backtrack to get something, i didn’t. yet it still was 13 hours of gameplay. also i appreciate that the boss fights have had some improvements. specifically the final boss that has 2 phases instead of just one.

I'm glad I replayed the OG a year ago for this game to be insanely good

I've always had fond memories of watching my brother play the original from start to finish. I used to refer to the headless cultist enemies as "Squid face cock masters".

Had an absolute blast with this game my aim is still not as so great but overal 10/10 game 👍🔥🔥🔥👌

7:27 "Fit the Rectangle shape into a Rectangle hole" Charlie's commentary about puzzles with Circular shapes.

My girlfriends dad plays re4 religiously since the ps2 edition. Literally will throw me the controller say “can you play for me” then starts saying “shoot that crows next there’s a treasure in there, you’ll have to wait 1 second then just run forward and you’ll dodge all these guys, back up and go down the ladder and you’ll be able to escape this person”. Just all the in’s ands out’s of the game. Though he’s so used to playing with the tommy gun and armored Ashley cause it’s fun. So this week he’s on a trip with his wife and my girlfriend so I’ll be completing the professional mode for him… maybe 😅

I remember playing RE4 in my old PC that could barely run it at 15 fps but I didn't have any alternative so I cleared the game in my shitty PC and was totally worth it :D
