Resident Evil 4 (2023) - Easy Allies Review 

even the digital foundry tech review of the demo mentioned that they “hadn’t tried the base Xbox one version yet” so even they were misled into thinking it existed

cool, its fine, make sense for a jp title.

@Rick Ross And? It's a reimagining. You have no life if you're only focus is 1 cut boss when the game expands and improves almost every other element.

​@@mrpussinboots4252 What is U3? If an entire boss is cut, I wouldn't be so sure "everything else is expanded."

@@12Daniel34 U3 is the monster called "it" that you fight in the big cargo container/cage thing.

Hell yea ...although for me village was fun but I enjoyed ethan trip with the bakers better ...but this masterpiece is a easy must have and definitely must play over and over !

​@@11d3adly11 village was fantastic

@Lord_Heisenberg one thing I'll say ...your boss fight was very fun and factory too 👍

@Rick Ross I think calling it lazy is a bit harsh, considering the level design and all the ideas in it. I could easily argue that it was more imaginative than RE7 (which had a great first few hours but one of the most boring middle segments in the whole series).

@Rick Ross I hope you aren't including the RE2 and 4 remakes in that, both were great (3 not so much)

There better be a full playthrough

Yeah, Huber is great and he is right to be excited for this game.

It will be a masterpiece

yea the review embargo this early, confidence and trust for the game.

Don't tell that to the silent hill HD collection 😅

Not always the case sadly

Re3 remake:🤡

​@@GarchompPlay re3 og wasn't a masterpiece sooo

Re4 og is not a masterpiece 😂

aye Dan Dan haha

We waiting on the history of resident evil 5- now haha

Yeah we cant forget the new zelda later this year though lol. You know how nintendo likes to pop off with those. I cant wait to play RE4 though, haven't played it since high school

@@mookiestewart3776 Most def, it will likely be between Zelda, Re4, Ff16, Spiderman 2, and starfield.

Nicee

Original had puzzles though. Not many but there were some in pretty much every chapter.

Agreed!

Everyone’s giving it 10’s.

@@Programm4r Not exactly. I'm quite surprised there's so many 7's and 8's tbh, but the average is still extremely high don't get me wrong.

They are indeed the same. Hirabayashi leads RE2make and RE4make. The B team responsible for RE5 led by Masachika Kawata, the same fucker that made R3make. I mean, Hirabayashi was one of the guys who made RE6, but he has more than redeemed himself.

@@geneoakley I was just going to play RE6 with my son recently, never tried it cause of the reviews over the years, and the first 10 minutes we were both like let's not play this game and dropped it and never going back. That think is a monstrosity. So if he did RE2 remake and this, DAM son he's 10000% made up for RE6.

Not based on the demo

Based on the demo, I thought RE2 looked waaaay better. Leon's face also seems downgraded. They tried to give him a tougher appearance I guess, but he looked like a damn neanderthal with that brow line...

The free next gen upgrades last year also improved on the recent RE titles so RE2 looks even better now on ps5.

People saying RE2 looks “better” are comparing apples to oranges, and neglecting to mention the ways in which RE4 remake looks better. Fidelity isn’t the only aspect that should be considered. RE4 has an insane level of environmental detail and storytelling in all of its indoor and outdoor environments. It also has destructible environments, advanced weather and fog effects, much smarter enemy AI, and up to 15 or more enemies on screen at once. RE2 typically had more condensed and “cleaner” looking indoor environments, whereas RE4 is focused on making areas feel lived in and inhabited, which helps with environmental storytelling, player choice, and replay value. Each game has a different aesthetic and approach, so they’re going to be designed differently to accommodate that. Having way more enemies on screen with aggressive AI makes things a little bit trickier. I personally prefer the folkloric, Gothic/ Victorian art direction of RE4 remake.

@Matthew Zang it all comes down to preference. For myself, the series best environments remain the Spencer mansion, RPD, and Racoon city itself. Was never a fan of the rural dilapidated towns of re4, 5, 8, and even the swamps of 7. It's way past time the series returned to the urban dystopia of a fallen city environment. It's funny because many newer RE fans that are gonna play 4 after Village may now find it redundant since that game borrows so many concepts from re4. A village, castle, horde fights, etc. Also, I'm not sure what version of re2 you've played, but the RPD in the remake is filled with highly detailed environments and is easily now the best environment of the series imo. The only thing that could give it a run for its money is if re1 gets a remake in the re engine. But if the shacks of re4 get you hyped, more power to you.

So true

Right

They don't give 10s very often I think it's been 3 years since

Only the remakes are bloody brilliant, not so much RE7 or Re8.

Agreed. I’d like RE5 to receive this treatment from this same team. 🤞

Maybe there will be an update for limited saving?

Someone who likes RE3R? Thats new, I know it has noticeable flaws but I do lobe it aswell.... Its just theres not alot of us out there 😆

@@dranillaasrapti9333 I enjoyed both! You can tell it was rushed a bit but it was still enjoyable and I liked the characters. I can’t wait for RE4 tho new locations and we get to play as Leon again! 💪🏼

It's going to be dlc.

​@Oni and you don't have a problem with that?

​@@kbthegoat824 ​2023 is great. You have to attach an opinion to every statement, otherwise someone will just assume it for you

@@kbthegoat824 Not really, I'm sure the team worked extra hard to make the base game great. Diving back for the dlc at a later date will be nice.

​@@kbthegoat824 the original adas section was also a dlc.. what are you even complaining about

*Action Horror. There are no survival elements. Everything you need spawns in large numbers (ammo, herbs, ect) and the game will literally spawn health on enemies when you arw running low. Survival Horror games involve limited resources, item management ect. That all goes out the window when enemies drop plenty.

@@Jenema2 I'm 42 and have been playing survival horror games since 1996. Some with less action, some with a lot more. They all share the same DNA, but feel different in terms of ammo/health drops and empowerement. Gameranx : 34 best survival horror games of all time -- RE4 remake and Dead Space remake are the first 2 mentionned. Even journalists aren't clear cut on this. Is The Last of Us survival, horror or survival horror and maybe action horror at times? "Survival horror games involve limited resources & item management", have you ever played RE4? It's the most demanding/rewarding in this regard! The spawning health is true for Dead Space, not for RE4 (much fewer health drops, even at low health). It's all in the details, but in the end, RE4 is awesome, regardless of the labels we put on it. Now at chapter 12. Bloody fantastic!

@@Jenema2 someone didn’t play on hardcore lol. Go ahead and play at that level then say there isn’t any “survival” . You’re gonna get your shit rocked and you can even get soft locked because of lack of AMO

@@olivierdube809 tell these young idiots what’s up baby!! I’m 33 but most of the people talking shit aren’t even 25 , they are just mad they aren’t apart of “the club” of us old school gamers that had the privilege of learning and growing with these franchises

And different Merchant voice 😞 (But still going to buy it at a high price)

Cut content? Give me a break... this game is a 15-18 hour playthrough.

​@@mrpussinboots4252 they cut U3 and some rooms, but not a deal breaker for me. I hope they say something soon about separate ways too

@@joaolima7131 The game is still just as length as the original, so one cut boss is negligible.

@@mrpussinboots4252 assignment Ada and Separate Ways isn’t in the game. That’s cut content

How's that? He's only given one 10 before in his life. -Bloodworth

@@EasyAllies Not because he gives out high scores. Because it's RE and even more specifically RE4. I know the hype can't be contained. No disrespect. Edit: To be even more specific: I know the game is going to be great, I know Huber will be honest (won't rate low just to avoid 10), and I know how hyped he must be. This combination only has one outcome unless he can give it an 11.

did you play the demo?? its gonna be amazing just wait and see

Tell me about it. Resident Evil and Final Fantasy are my fav franchises and both are getting fucking awesome.

It uses RE2 remakes aiming which tbh I think is worse than the original RE4. RE2 remake combat works against small amounts of slow enemies in a tight corridor but this game has large groups of fast enemies in open areas. The originals combat is very snappy and precise once you get used to it.
