Spoiler Mode - Resident Evil 4 (2023) 

This is the spoiler cast I’ve been waiting for.

Using a rocket on El Gigante is a rookie move as you don't get to see the dog scene.

Thank you for making these available to the public

Incredible remake. Instant classic

The lore in Salazar's throne room mentions that the 2nd Verdugo is referred to as U-3. So it's speculated that it'll somehow transform into a version of that boss in Separate Ways.

Fantastic remake of a classic game that still holds up well enough today. This game is incredibly fun even the replayability is amazing...

6:40 I think expecting Ashley to stay behind when in Loose formation isn't going to work...her AI at that point basically has her wander to a certain distance away, versus Tight formation which has her stay close behind no matter what.

6:26. You just need to understand a little more of how the ai works. "Give me distance" is literally that, she runs away from you. If you back her into a corner and then tell her to run away, of course she's going to take the only route available to get away from you which you made to be right in front of you. If you want her to stay behind you in a corner, keep it tight and she'll stick to your back.

The first time I used the rocket was on Ramon and I totally fucking missed and exited the game to restart the fight 😂😂

Dom is making Professional sounded more crazy than it is. The enemies give you time to run and shoot. At least so far.

Love the passion of this spoiler mode, just good vibes.

I am one of those who played RE4 and never even thought about it again. I do like the remake but when RE4 came out I wanted a horror game not a shooter with a brand name slapped on it. I still think remake 2 and 3 and RE7 and village are better. I just don't get why everyone wants to ride RE4's ****

Having the level design use some mercenaries cues is awesome

U3 will be a boss in separate ways ❤️

*Edit* an hour in and you're completely aware of this 😛 Tip for Damiani: trigger the water Hall encounter then run back to the previous room and bottleneck them as they push through the doorway 👍

Can confirm, I never played the original at all, and this is incredible. One of the best games I've played in a long time.

Just a theory: do we know if that black liquid is flammable? Could the Water Hall BECOME the lava room for Separate Ways? I see a couple dragon statues up the back after all

On my seventh playthrough already. Fantastic game, definitely up there with my favorite games of all time.

Personally disagree with Brad and Huber. After a few playthroughs, I much prefer Standard mode. While I did really enjoy some moments of having only 5-10 bullets left and having to be really careful about what I craft and what I shoot with....I much prefer running through taking things out like an 80s action hero.

I shot the infinite launcher at the zealot who pulls the lever when you're going for the goat head and it hit during the cutscenes and he never got to pull the lever. Things like this are why I love this game

Perfect I just finished the game last night! Super excited to watch this now.

Throw some eggs at Salazar! Golden especially.

You three are the best personalities on YT. Keep it up.

Missed opportunity to get Maximillian here

Damiani take a breath dude

I love you guys. This show is the best cause you cover my new favorite games. As an adult

Wishful thinking but it would've been cool to see Max here too.

w00t w00t Brad, Damiani and Huber deliver the goods once again!

Friendship ended with Resident 4 Now Resident Evil 4 is my best friend

We quite literally ARE in some fantasy land. The game is about insects who make people into wizards essentially. A lead wizard can mind control the other bugs and use spells, and transform. What about that isn't fantasy?

On the change of standard to pro difficulty it changed to Roman numerals for the clocks during the Ashley Section. I didn't know if 'VII XII' meant 7;00 or 7;12

Golden Joystick Awards 2023 PlayStation Game of the Year Winner 😍 Well done

Damn Maximillion would have been perfect for this but still always love me some EZA Spoiler Mods

I’m on my 6th playrhrough. Probably the only RE game that I’ve liked.

Why has Capcom never used the Merchant in anything outside of Resident Evil 4. Its Criminal!

@ huber’s comment on reading the files, you absolutely can! a good amount of the village and castle ones are in spanish, tho. which i loved, cause i’m bilingual and it was so cool how much more authentic it feels. edit: i realize now you meant literally ALL the files, after your tlou comment, where yes, the documents are literal objects and you could read them.

I think the fact they included wesker proves they'll eventually tackle 5

Overall the characters have become more three dimensional. Leon's psychological trauma is a little more evident, Ashley has actually become an endearing figure and Luis came off as more well meaning (his inclusion in the mine section was a great call). Even Ada's concern for Leon is a little clearer. Speaking of, IMO her VA's performance wasn't HORRIBLE but it did sound noticeably off, especially when compared to the rest of the voice cast. The lines in the boat ride scene and the final chapter especially stuck out to me as poorly delivered. Some blame the sound mixing and directions but the fact that what we got is presumably the best audio they recorded and that more assistance/instructions for VA were necessary makes me believe she simply wasn't the best fit for Ada. I think Capcom did a rare miss with the casting there.

Just got the plat. I normally don’t care for em but re4 is one of my favorite games ever and had to do it

the best part of finishing a resident evil game is watching the spoiler mode after

GOATS of video game discussion

Did anyone else feel like the aiming controls were not good? That is my only nitpick,but shooting felt really bad in my opinion which was terrible due to the shooting mini games.

When you first get to the castle, you can one-shot each of the 4 guys walking through that room and collect their loot when you come around. They won't alert others or even each other.

You guys shoulda brought in Maximilian Dood to join you guys again. Loved the theory crafting he brought in for FF7R.

I still don't know if Separate Ways is a sure thing. The most important story beats from there were integrated into the main campaign.

Just finished my first run of RE4make the other night. Standard mode, despite beating the original at least 5 times. I just wanted a fun ride. Even then, it oscillated between breezy and intense at times. They really skimped on the shotgun ammo so I was crafting for that constantly. The Riot Gun is so good. I skipped the magnum and went for TMP. Verdugo was absolutely a sponge in this but I still killed him. Worth it for the satisfaction and I knew I’d recoup the ammo. I agree that Capcom did a remarkable job combining remixed tentpole areas and completely new ones. Very noticeable in the Castle, especially around the Water Room area where they skipped the sewer in favor of the wine cellar and expanded the backtracking. Phenomenal game. Now to do NG Plus.

How on earth did Wesker think that Ada would be up for killing billions.

My nitpicks: -Leon, never talks about the monsters on the radio. Which seems insane. -Leon confirms that Ashley is in this hostile village in the first 20 minutes of the game. Where is SEAL team 6. I understand that there is 20 minutes of bad weather but you go on for hours past the end of the storm before Mike shows up. -kind of a lot of enemies teleporting behind you even when you’ve scouted in that direction and sees there is no where for them to come from -Documents don’t quite explain why every photo in this village looks like the 1800s even though they are dated the 1980s -Wesker is an idiot in the post credit with Ada -Ada contributes almost nothing -why does the island blow up at the end?

I get damiani likes to use the cheese strats, but idk why you would want to do that especially on a first play through. RE4 always makes sure you have the ammo and resources to take the game on and is at its best when you play by the games rules

Can't wait for your next Maximillian Dood video where he takes his chat's theories of games that all are wrong.

If you are born in 2023 I hope u enjoy all the games in the future from our past. Going from pong to re4 remake makes me appreciate games. Most future players won't know the classics. I wonder if re4 remake will look old in another 30 years.

Professional isn't that much harder than hardcore. I would have expected any RE4 fan to start on hardcore. So it's especially weird to hear about the complaints about the "difficulty spike" on Professional. Especially when you have upgraded weapons and know what to expect. 90% of that was on hardcore.

I don’t know who you guys are but I was looking for a spoiler discussion on the remake. Y’all are great! Love hearing people talk about a game that’s I’ve adored since I was a kid!

I finished resident evil 4 remake onpro and got a s+ rank my time was officially 4 hours and 16 minutes

The bull head enemy reminds me of the Penetrators in Dragon's Dogma. Giant hammer swinging hunks of meat with a bull head. Thankfully they aren't as fast as they are in DD 😂.

For me the original RE4 is practically a perfect game, so the remake fell just a little short over all. Again, that's just for me! The remake is still absolutely amazing, but it just goes to show how damn good that first one is that it's still better in a few ways, imo.

My only big complaint with this game is not being able to put the laser sight on every gun. Wtf Capcom? Other than that it's a 10

Resident Evil 4 is a dream come true. 55 hours deep, just finished my 3rd playthrough on professional. I hope they apply this formula to some new Resident Evil entries.

It would be amazing if we got Luis DLC where we play as him and see what he was doing while Leon was going through the village and castle

2 spoilers modes in a day O_o

special shoutout to huber for mentioning zombies ate my neighbors.

It’s the most fun I’ve had playing a video game in a very long time. I’ve also never played the original

Just finished the game, loved this spoiler cast!

That Ashley knight room was great I wonder if that was in the first game.

Find a girl who looks at you the way Ashley watches Leon shoot pirates

Huber, the remake retcons operation Javier . It's no longer about the veronica virus.

Ya didn’t touch on saddlers new form

Playing NG+ while listening to this, is the best thing.

WELP, here goes 2 hours of my time out the window 😂 Time to bring out the popcorn ♥

maybe i'm in the minority on this, but i want them to announce an alternate timeline after this game that does not follow the original 5 and 6. i felt like i rly dropped off after original 5, so i hope it just changes a bunch of things and goes a different way. regardless, this game was absolutely amazing. i'm loving it! thanks for the spoiler mode :)

I absolutely love this game

Been waiting for this video since launch :D

I'm not so sure "flirty" is the right word, ateast not in the way people mean it. I think "playful" is better as she is just building a repor with Leon and becoming more comfortable around him. I say this because she actually has moments of care and desire to help unlike in the original. And STILL, all these podcasts and nobody is talking about Ashley saying she wants to be like Leon. Is this dialogue just that easy for everyone to miss? I mean it's right after they remove the parasite and you loot the next room. This is the biggest change to Ashley's character because it shows her affection as admiration, not thirst. I genuinely think the "personal detail" line is meant to be her saying she wants to spend more time and learn from him. Like she wants to continue their adventures. Unlike the original Ashley, the thought of Ashley returning for a reunion with Leon or a team-up with other characters is incredibly exciting, and I think that dialogue is a hint at just that. Ashley is actually a great RE character now. 👏

I agree with Huber that the remakes have the best characterization of the entire series. That being said, the characters of 4 are not as well written as 2 and 3. Ada is a definite downgrade from 2 and I'm not even talking about her voice actress. Luis is another issue, in that he still seems way too close to his goofy original persona. He should've had a serious overhaul in the same way that Carlos got with 3. All the lady's man comments get old real fast. The original Carlos was the same way but they improved him to now be imo one of the best male protagonists in the series. At least Ashley has been vastly improved. I guess the plot and tone of RE4 doesn't allow by nature anything as serious or hard hitting as say, the Kendo scene in RE2.

The village and castle section was the best parts of the game for the most part. The island was slightly better than the original. I was a bit surprised how little of Sadler there was in the game and Ada’s voice actress is pretty bad. Ramon had more personality in the original along with Sadler, but it was a good game that I had somewhat minor issues with.

One last theory 😝 We see a few of the missing hikers along the way but I don't think we ever come across the one from the opening nor the altar she's sacrificed at (which looks a lot like the one located near the gondolas in the O.G). Wondering if Separate Ways will also cover the gondola area seemingly shut down behind where the villa is located 🤔

Honestly some of the stuff I've hated was the stun Lock Leon gets into and the less i-frames on higher difficulties your getting a three piece from an old lady and your getting ko like your going a round with prime Mike Tyson the weighty feel is nice though even though I get mangled and stun locked

What do you guys think makes RE4 so replayable?

I finished resident evil 4 remake onpro and got a s+ rank my time was officially 4 hours and 16 minutes

I know that things change for channels and companies we follow. People leave; Kyle, Brandon, Ben. Show get canceled or sunset or even conclude; Top 10s, Tabletop Escapades, Retrospectives, Game Sleuth (even though I do think that it stinks that the channel has almost completely moved away from any scripted content besides reviews, which I am not sure is true to why people started supporting EZA). But it is so disappointing that some traditions get totally abandoned without much of a reason or any real attempt made to keep it around. Huber and Kyle have been doing full playthroughs of horror games (Resident Evil being the primary example) for what has to be a decade now, since GameTrailers. And there is nothing in the works for RE4 Remake? The only thing I have heard on this is from Huber’s stream of RE2 Remake about 2 hours in and it was very dismissive. I don’t see how Kyle not being in town is a reason. RE3 Remake and RE8 were both streamed together and RE8 work really well. I would understand it if Kyle wasn’t still in the industry or still steaming but he does, multiple times a week. It truly bothers me that as all my favorites shows get cancelled and people leave, that we can’t keep something this basic. Huber is going to play RE4 anyway, surely you can get Kyle to show up for a few streams, EZA still does stuff with Kyle. Can you do two streams? One on Kyle’s channel, one on EZA’s channel to make it fair? Something. Seriously, these traditions are important and there is no reason it can’t be done. Also can you please address these things more upfront so we know why? Super frustrating and disappointing.

I disagree with Huber on every character being an improvement in the remake. Saddler is a noticible step down. In the original game he had way more personality and character. His banter with Leon when he calls you before the U3 fight was great and unique. He toyed with you. And now he's just so boring in presentation even if his motivations are basically the same.

This Salazar was a big step back from the original in my opinion. Saddler as well.

Time for a new intro jingle without Kyle's voice in there

Don't get me wrong. Re4 Remake is a beautiful game. The gameplay is fun I overall enjoyed the game. But something just bugged me about my first play thru. Sometimes I just feel like I'm "going through the motions" of playing the game. I guess it's because I played it the same way as I play original Re4 and save my money for rocket launchers for the huge boss battles.

No Isla? Unfortunate. Glad to see the RE4 depe dive finally arrive at least

Huber's invasion of personal space is madness. Would piss me off

Thanks for spoiling the story, unsubscribed
