Top 10 WORST Changes In The Resident Evil Remakes! 

RE3 remake could be a better game if Resistance didn't exist.

@@watashiwa21plays66 that's true, Capcom was still experimenting with the idea of being call of duty rich with resident evil unfortunately, sad when game companies experiment at our expense.

No it wouldn't re 4 is the best remake why because re 4 is the best game in the series that's the reason less recourses was used for re 3 also og re 3 was also made in quick time and has sold less copys than re 2.

@@watashiwa21plays66 facts

@@AlbertPuljos yea kind of like what happened with RE6, you would think that after witnessing the success with both the original resident evil remake and re2 remake Capcom would just follow the same formula that brought that success and applied it to RE3 remake

Clearly the biggest let down from the remake, the zapping system and the AB scenarios were tied together it felt satisfying to consider that both characters were facing different odds at the same time. In the remake it's either Claire's story or Leon's

I've never played the B scenario but the Idea of the zapping system actually blows my mind. In the remake, it doesn't matter what choices you do bc it doesn't link up but to b able to make decisions that affects the 2nd run actually makes sense and actually feels like both leon and claire is on the same place.

No you see them 3 times not 2

My thoughts exactly!!👍

Same

​@@prodigal_rebel_2062 A remake can't have cut content. It's a remake therefore nothing is on the table outside of the general premise.

REmake 3 was objectively better

@@getshwiftygaming447 wrong its the worst remake of all game not to bad 64% bad 36% good

Exactly, almost like they did it in a hurry 😂

I don't think it can be classified as a remake as, it didn't remake anything. Its a reimagining , the same way Umbrella Chronicles and Operation Raccoon city reimagined the story.

It really pisses me off because ik we could've gotten such an AMAZING GAME. The remake would be so much better and actually make people think it's better than re2

@@hudsonja it is but it could've been better and obviously more fun and more replay value because of the live selection.

Imo re2 remake is still good but I understand the hate but still the remake improved a lot of stuff and generally the game is scarier than the og. The re3 has so much thats cut and made the main character the Nemesis just wasted. Never played re4 remake but it actually look far more better than the og and added cool new feats that spices up the game (unlike re3). It does however have minor cuts but overrall great remake to me

@micpere1991 I agree, The "Remakes" of 2-4 are like alternate tellings of what happened in Raccoon City. The Originals will remain canon.

@@userisfree if I had to place the RE 2,3,4 Remakes in order from most to least faithful to their source material, it would be 4,2,3 imo. RE3 had so much gutted, it barely resembles the original.

@@micpere1991 yeah but at least it's fun. Could've been way more fun if they didn't cut so much.

@@kendonl.taylor5111 I think the remakes and the originals have different ways of telling the story and have their own way of following the plotlines.

The live sections were god awful

​@@getshwiftygaming447I've played the original recently and you're right. At least a lil. The live selection choices are not that great but adds so much replay value and affects parts of the game. If the remake adds this then it wouldn't be so goddamn short

It's not so much what they changed for the bad as what they cut..... The og had far greater replay value due to the areas that were cut, but the extension of some of the uncut areas was, while less than well executed, not terrible

Even more unbelievable how WELL RE3 Remake sold.

Although I've only played the RE2 Remake, the only time I can say I've encountered this is the G-2 boss fight. Certainly a pain though.

Also no mention of the excessive amount of headshots in RE2R and 4R.

​@@frankkennedy6388idk if you know this but there's a thing called "adaptive difficulty" where self explanatory, it adapts. The amount of hits you get or dying can result in lesser headshots or lesser health for enemies.

@@userisfree Except on Professional, the difficulty is at maximum all the time. I'm not sure if it's the same in the Remake, but regardless, 15+ bullets for a headshot is fucking ridiculous!

@@frankkennedy6388 it's professional difficulty? It supposed to be hard? I mean like that's the whole point.

Then there is Ashley's stripped out sex appeal.

Sex appeal? Wtf she's a kid, creep lmfao

@@dansmith1661 what are you talking about

No. Just no. RE3 remake hate is just so misguided and clueless.

@@dansmith1661 what?

Same here but it’s still fun game to play

@andrewcalean7992 oh I absolutely agree, especially the bits with Carlos.

Absolutely a fantastic game to play, I’ve always said it’s a bad remake but a fun game!

@@NerdSpaceGamesstop saying “Resident” like that

@@NerdSpaceGames STARSSSSS!!!

He sounded like a chain smoker. His original voice would have fit better in the remake. I guess they wanted him to sound more insane?

@@frankkennedy6388 Probably

That's outright false. 2/3r was being developed in parallel. Irrespective of the reception for 2, 3 was almost complete and no U turn would have been feasible that late into development.

People inflate RE1remake while conveniently dismissing changes/cuts that was brought forth. Claiming the remake had no cuts is factually inaccurate. Re1remake changed/removed the following; Script, the infamous Jill sandwich line was butchered and all the original script/dialogue was thrown out Characters; while the remake opted for a grounded take, it fails in what it sets out to accomplish. The characters have cardboard cutout personalities and don't react accordingly to the horrors unfolding around them. Even worse is Rebecca's inconsistent portrayal between the events of 0 and the time she wound up in the mansion with RE1 Story; no effort was made to diversify the campaigns between Chris and Jill, instead we have a rehashing mirrored stories in which both sides play out identically. This raises the issue of true canon, which side actually occured? Because both overlap incoherently. Furthermore the remake failed to include the true canonical ending with all 4 STARS members escape the mansion via helipad. This omission with no attempt to rectify is confounding. I've aforementioned the choice system presented in the original was simplified to merely 1 decision in the remake. Why? Baffling design choice. Shotgun; the 100% headshot decapitations was removed in the remake and instead randomised to shoehorn in the crimson head inclusion, infact all enemies became tanky bullet sponges. Aesthetic/tone; gone are the days of the brightly lit, homely, inhibited halls of the mansion in favour of... Drumroll... The Mickey mouses haunted house aesthetic in the remake. Such a drastic change didn't hit the mark and ditches the tone established in the original. The lights dont even have enough strength to illuminate the halls and rooms, the whoever installed the electricity deserves firing. The remake zapped the excellent colour pallete from the original to drab, dull and utterly soulless environments. Whoever was behind the abhorrent changes failed in dramatic fashion. Run speed was reduced, the game lost its arcadey style The return of door load animations pad out the run time. An average 1remake is marginally longer than 2r once factoring in the total door load time. Pivoting away to the story again, why was the originals Barry's multiple choice betrayal system streamlined to merely one decision? This outright removed suspense and build up. Sadly the remake seems to avoid any critique or fans alike dismiss any and all genuine downgrades. It shouldn't be exempt/free from points of contention.

@mrpussinboots4252 most of that is your own recency biased opinion. Which still doesn't dismiss the FACT that the RE1 Remake still has the LEAST cut content out of all the RE remakes. And the FACT that it's so well done that it is superior and essentially replaced the original. Which all other 3 modern remakes can't claim whatsoever. Which was my main point, so all your paragraphs do nothing to discredit it.

@@t-wrecks9866 "recency bias"? That's a result of your overactive imagination. I've formulated my sentiments since playing the remake on the GC back on launch in 2002. The remake simply doesnt stack up to the original. The tone was needlessly butchered and many of the cuts/alternations brought down the remake

@@t-wrecks9866 I feel the streamlining of the already lackluster RE1 narrative/campaign system further brought down the remake. It's why I don't hold the removal of 2 remakes zapping system against the game too harshly. Since it essentially took RE1/remakes blueprint of two characters experiencing one singular scenario. Id also regard RE1 a far less demanding game to remake over say 2 or 4, for the foregone points. While 2r had to tackle 4 stories, 1 had just the singular campaign from two perspectives. But 2r still deserved a single interwoven narrative between Leon and Claire, it's staggeringly bizarre why no effort was put forth on that front. I know 1r is almost untouchable in most RE fan spaces, but to me I regard it flawed and a step down to its original counterpart.

Lol I’m just being a tad bit dramatic tbh

Totally Disagree with yr Disagreement, while I don't agree 100% with everything on the video, Lady D WAS better than Nemesis on the remake

@@nabeelalmulla8587 Try Nemesis on Inferno and then we'll talk. Lady D isn't even hard in Village of Shadows.

@@DarkAttackYT too late, I did "still can't beat final boss though 😅"

And nah Nemesis on Inforno was still a bit easier for me if you douge correctly

Agreed. Krauser in particular felt like they wanted a more psychotic villain as opposed to a calm and collected military operative. They also made him less buff

Agreed - especially Salazar. He was so toned down in the remake - almost to the point of being forgettable. Which is a damn shame considering that his interactions with Leon were some of the most iconic scenes from the game.

@@cackle529”Since you’re here why don’t I introduce you to “IT”, “IT” should keep you busy.”

@@hybrid5860 They ruined Krauser's character. He's supposed to be Leon's buddy and Leon's supposed to feel bad when he dies; you can't have them spend all their screen time telling each other how much they hate each other and then pretend like Leon winning that fight is in any way emotional. They ruined Ada too; I honestly have a hard time deciding whether Re3R or Re4R is a worse remake. 3R at least doesn't massively break the rest of the franchise.

Personally I disagree with all y'all I like krauser and plus think about it in the original he works for Wesker so in the grand scheme of things he's nothing more than wesker's lap dog in the original but that's just my opinion I like new krauser although don't get it twisted I still love OG krauser

They added more depth to a character ? oh the horror.

Ada became more dull. Missed the flirtatious talks between her and Leon. Some people say its because they wanted to use a more realistic approach, but even some of the dialogue they use is not realistic or never would some people ever use it. They pretty much played it safe to no offend others.

It wasn't remotely rushed. The game had a 3 year development cycle. The main fault was direction and budget. It was Kiyohiko Sakata's directors debut.

I agree, the atmosphere of og 4 was impeccable and those results screens were a small part of that

It is unfortunate that in the OG RE4, Krauser gets dropped into the game with all this backstory between him and Leon that didn’t get any real detail until Darkside Chronicles. He’s made up to be a significant character in Leon’s life without much explanation why. The added backstory in the remake was much needed.

​@@thenightrider2121 there is no backstory or buildup in the OG one, the remake makes a bit more sense but that's all

Agreed on Krauser losing his men in O.J. only leaving Krauser and Leon, the only survivor. Making Krauser joining Saddler to get revenge for his men.

he has an actual backstory

OG krauser was legendary I dunno what are you talking about, if anything the mentor shit in the remake is way more forgettable.

Yes without a arachnophobia mode I'll just straight up die

Unfortunately, Capcom doesn't know how to use the RE engine for the spiders on the gore itself.

They can use what they have with the drain Deimos, and work from there

As someone who freaks out by small ones... Why please tell me why on God's earth you would want Giant spiders

Yeah but I'm afraid of spiders found the remade spiders and black tiger in the remake good. It's just a game.....

Would definitely be me

Just imagine a giant spider in a dark hallway, way more realistic graphic, the better sounds and the overall darker atmosphere... Hell no im not playing that

But still tho, having these giant spiders in the remake can make the experience so much scarier for arachnophobia people.

@@userisfree small spiders alone are sometimes enough to freak someone with arachnophobia up and adding giant ones? With more realistic hair? Better movements? Better sound? Hell no

@@laurence262 that's the whole point. To make you feel unease. Because yk it's a horror game and horror games are unease.

I get that but removing iconic lines actually makes it more realistic bc in the original, leon talks as if this is just a walk in the park but in the remake it feels more natural and feels like he's on a mission. Yea, it does however made the dialogue bland.

I'd agree with you if it wasn't for the fact after you rescue her on the island all of Ashley's lines are about her having fun and excitement about their adventures.

@userisfree who cares this isn't real in the slightest might aswell put fun above realism

This

@Piratebay72185 yeah, they were not that big compared to other removals, c'mon

RE Dialogue being... terrible ? oh the horror,, it's not like its been that way for ages. Also old man ass comment

The original RE3 is a trillion times better. Plus I miss using the freeze rounds in the original RE3

@@JarvisCosric885oh that sounds ace! That reminds me of 7 with the neuro rounds. 4’s a great remake and hopefully code Veronica or 5 is next and is done justice

Agreed. Also, I personally would love to see Code Veronica remake done justice and with love, passion and maximum effort put into it especially since Code Veronica is my favorite RE game other than RE4

​@@JarvisCosric885the original 3 is the worst of the original trilogy. It's a 2 hour game(if you take your time) with no substance and feels very rushed because it was a very rushed game. The live selection part was probably the most shallow way of hiding how fast they made it.

The earlier resident evil are short you get rewarded by speed running them

Couple reasons. 1) Damage is only a gameplay feature. Canonically no main character gets bit or infected except Jill from Nemesis 2) The playable characters in outbreak games are infected, but green herbs reduce and slow infection rate.

Video game logic

If you put an item inside a box, it will not appear inside another box. This brief line inspired the worst entry in the Resident Evil series - yes, 0 is FAR worse than RE3R, Revelations 2 and even RE6 and Dead Aim. Fun first, logic second. The golden rule of video games.

@@Matheus-ue1qb I personally didn’t mind RE0 all that much. Yeah I understand why everybody complains about it and I even agree with many of their complaints, but it doesn’t get under my skin like it does other people’s. Except for the Mimicry Marcus, I don’t know what the hell Capcom was thinking when they made them: they’re such a pain in the ass to kill, and God help you if you have to kill one and Rebecca’s the only character you’re able to use because you’re gonna die so many times until you finally manage to luck out and kill it. Also a more minor complaint I have about the game is that Rebecca can be killed in way less hits than Billy, like to the point where if she’s hit three times it’s game over. I get that they’re trying to establish Billy’s the more physically stronger character of the two and Rebecca is more intellectually stronger, as seen with Billy not being able to craft herbs (which is admittedly pretty stupid too, if Chris can do it then Billy should be able to), but I feel like with health related mechanics it should be equal to the other character regardless of what would happen “if this was real” because there are moments in the game where they aren’t with each other and if you’re playing as Rebecca it can be really hard to get past certain enemies because of how easy it is for her to die.

he was a wesker man with ada in mission

It's just a laser sight. But seriously tho, having these remove makes the aiming more precise and not spamming bullets.

@@userisfree the reason why I complain is because aiming is terrible in the remake/reimagination, red9, handcannon, tpm, the aim with those guns is terrible, and they were great in the OG RE4. The same thing probably will happen with RE5 if they remove all laser sights.

@@gabbzzvieira1829 you act like recoil isn't a thing in real life.

@@userisfree we talking about games RE4 remake, not real life, aiming in the remake is terrible not because of recoil, but because of the reticule aim that opens up, and make you lose precision while aiming.

@@gabbzzvieira1829 at least it makes you to aim and not spam bullets. That's the point of the reticle and also makes it realistic bc you don't immediately just shoot, you have to aim. It also stops bullet spamming

With the new graphics it would legitimately kill me seing the spiders 😂

At least the alternate decision and routes give replay value.

All of this💯

What should the Ivy's have been like? More plant looking? No Insta-kill attack? I'm all for that. From what I saw in OG 2 they just stood in place waiting for you.

@@frankkennedy6388 I think the original ones were fine. The more plant looking design was badass and I really wanted to see that frightening grapple/vomiting toxins all over the character body attack in the Remake. Maybe a bit faster would be cool. But I liked them as those tower-like very resilient enemies that always stood on small corridors and corners guarding important places and were dangerous to maneuver even being slow.

Also for 3R is no environmental storytelling. Everything gets explained to you, while in 3, you see all these corpses hugging each other or being part of the scenery according to what enemies there were.

1R isn't perfect lmao, easily worst of the 3 good remakes. Spider removal isn't that bad, they are in 2 hallways, if you think that's an issue, you are just nitpicking honestly.

Same. He has way more depth. Him being Leon's martial arts instructor and superior officer instead of his partner was a huge improvement. I also love the fact that he isn't connected to Wesker and Ada because it lets him stand on his own.

krauser voice in remake are shit

Same here. I especially like that Krauser was Leon’s instructor/mentor and was a big part of why Leon is the way he is in RE4. Plus since remake Krauser killed Luis, it made fighting him a lot more fun, motivating and satisfying

Same here

@@GoldCrotalus He was also his partner, did you even listen to their dialogue

It’s from my stream a few weeks ago but it’s the seamless hd project mod on the pc sourcenext port

Enjoy!

Nope Luis was way better in remake . Better than getting stab hentai style by a tentacle in the original

@@johnlawful2272 so your saying a dinky knife to the back was better than him being impaled and slammed to the ground please elaborate how that’s better than his original death

Wrong @joshthornley, the meat growtas with Saddler doesn't work, but Luis helps Leon until Luis gets killed from Krauser knife. Good part in Resident Evil 4 remake after beating Krauser, you get Krauser knife unlike the original version you don't get Krauser knife only a cut scenes that it.

@@Twilight17Petkoton that’s actually a plausible argument his knife is pretty good

​@joshthornley4727 Thought so Krauser knife is good after beating Krauser first in Resident Evil 4 remake and good part no time limited to beat Krauser in the original RE 4.

Yeah I understand where you're coming from, but correct me if I'm wrong, but they do have a classic costume unlockable. I can't really tell if it's a skirt or shorts in that "classic" outfit but I'm at least certain it looks similar enough to fulfill our requests there. As for why they switched from skirt to pants/short; probably because it doesn't seem very practical. The things Jill does throughout the events of Resident Evil 3 doesn't exactly seem plausible to do while wearing a skirt lol

Nah her voice is ass in 4RE, they literally had it down perfectly with 2RE and messed it up due to diversity casting.

Actually Nemesis isn't chasing after Carlos. In fact, if you leave him alone for enough time, he will ignore you and will head to the chapel's door where Jill is. And if you don't stop him, he will break the door and kill her

@@ocdman3910 Well, I guess I got this one wrong then. I guess I had provoke fight Nemesis during Carlos part in the OG RE3, made me think the Nemesis chase after me. Thanks for the clarification.

And Nemesis has always been thought of as a creature so intelligent that would kill anyone who stood on his way to the target, even someone who was actually trying to kill the target in question as well (Nicholai). This ofc because Nemesis couldn't distinguish whether the target got in contact with an ally or a foe, and as such he thought of every person that Jill talked to as one of her allies

@@ocdman3910 I see, that also made sense in the OG branch where Nicholai got killed by Nemesis. And that was much better than in the remake where he just being left to get nuked.

@@tayntp true, true. Ehh, there are so many things that can be easily pointed out as inferior in 3R...from Jill being turned into a loud, brash, edgy, confrontational clone of Alice, to the major cuts, it's all just a very bad mess. 2R on the surface fared better, but it's actually plagued by the same issues, they're just more subtle. 4R did a better job as a remake than 2R and 3R, and did improve on some things over the original, but at the same time it also stupidly made some things worse just for the sake of change (at least, that's the only "valid" reason that comes to my mind when trying to understand why Capcom would have wanted to make such changes in the first place🤦🏻‍♂️)

Why?

Maybe if they had a good voice actress that wasn’t snorting Valium before her lines or something. Ada might’ve been good.

Essentially yeah. I mean technically it was always explained that 2-4 remakes are in their own timeline. So I think both origin stories for Krauser are canon, just in different “universes” essentially?

@@NerdSpaceGames Thanks. I'm doing a canon run through the series and was wondering if I should skip DC or not. It seems like Capcom is essentially reworking the canon with the remakes. With rumors about an RE1 and RE5 remakes in the works, I wouldn't be surprised if they remade the entire series to make it tie in better with the new Ethan story.
