Its hilarious how 2005 Ashley didnt know how to climb down ladder and it took her 18 years to learn to climb it down like a human

The best part of watching Bricky's streams of this was seeing him go from grinning ear to ear to tensing up so hard in fear in the span of under a second.

I really wanted Leon and Ashley to thank the merchant just once before going to the final boss. Would have honestly cried at that, man. Merchant is the ultimate bro.

8:10 I'm sure you noticed at times where some encounters gave more ammo, healing items, and support items vs others that gave mainly money. That's actually a background system of the original RE4 where it calculates your inventory and makes adjustments to the item drops accordingly. Got too much ammo at the end of encounter? Heres a bunch of money drops. Barely scraping together a full Mag? Here's enough ammo to level the starting village. It's brilliant for tension.

Leon's the type of guy who if you were to ask him to pass you the mustard, he'd do a finger trick with it, toss it under and over himself, then slide it across the table to you, even though you're right next to him.

I love that Leon's goofy one-liners doesn't make him sound cocky anymore. It makes him sound like he's coping with how screwed he was. Same as Ashley in the knights section

My favorite non-cheesy line was actually from Salazar’s boss fight. When you have him on the ropes and he calls you a “tiny, sickly half wit who should have never been born”, you can tell he projects how he sees himself onto you and it’s such a great character moment for him.

The awesome thing about Krauser's voice acting in this is that if your look up his "I can't wait to see you writhe!" line, the VA does a fucking death metal scream.

Leon went from rookie cop to rookie special agent. he's come a long way from 1998 to 2004.

the parry system was originally supposed to be only in the Krauser fights, but they love it so much that they implemented for the whole game, meaning the Krauser fight was at a time, a primary focus of the remake, which make sense because both Krauser fight was fucking amazing

I really felt like they nailed enough of the OG's spirit and enhanced the new stuff so much that this is a CLASSIC.

If Mike isn't mentioned once I will commit a single act of violence Edit: Watch your back Brickster

i like how they kept how big of a HIMBO leon is. yeah, he's cool and all but he is a goddamn hunky dork in the original and i love him for it.

I actually think the Krauser's part in the story is pretty satisfying. Its a teacher vs student dynamic that actually got me emotional for a bit. Leon KNOWS Krauser, and having to kill someone you respected at one point isn't something anyone should ever have to deal with.

i think my favorite part of the game is how easily you get lost in nostalgia in this game and smile and laugh an- OH SHIT THATS A REGENERATOR

"My personal favourite is Porco Rosso" Bricky proving, yet again, why he is capital B Based

I feel like they did give more backstory to the villains because if you read the documents you get a lot of how they became who they are. The big cheese & Sadler specifically.

I love the fact the merchant never stops talking, because if you menu his shop really fast you can get some really endearing lines like: "Give your enemy PLEASANT TRAVELS" "This may be the only FINE CHOICE STRANGER" "Not my place to say but COME BACK ANYTIME" and more

honestly by this point we need a merch where it's just bricky with the words "my beloved", i would buy

Bricky might be my favorite channel I've found this year, top tier content man. Not sure if you do the editing, but it's gold. Give the editor a raise if you got one lmao.

Amusing note about Luis, the retcon that he worked for the European branch of Umbrella means that he was part of the team that made Nemesis.

Bricky, I gotta say your content has turned into some of my favorite stuff on RU-vid. Came for the Warhammer vids, stayed for everything else. Keep it up, bro.

Bricky, when you see Leon do a flip, you don't ask "why?" you say "please Sir, another."

I really appreciate you bringing up the fault of Ada's voice being on the voice director; if they didn't like how she said a line then they would have asked her to do it again. I really liked Lily Gao's performance as Ada and I really hope that she's brought in again to voice her more

I still remember someone saying the biggest villain in resident evil was whoever gave Leon a drivers licence. Like the man crashes every vehicle he drives at some point.

I am completely unsure if that’s how Ada’s VA sounds but it feels to me like she’s recording with completely different equipment in a completely different environment, like she sounds completely different from every other character.

14:04 “I didn’t remember these from the original” But like… how? That wheezing gasping breathing noise is seared into my brain on a deep visceral level since my first play though of the original 18 years ago.

my favorite thing about these games is that they learned alot from Dino Crisis' gunplay. you could move and shoot; and honestly for an old game like that, i thought that it was Revolutionary and now it's standard in games, it's perfect to say dino crisis' gunplay was ahead of it's time.

Krauser is actually massively developed in the remake, it's just that parts of it are more subtle. Go watch the video analysis someone made on him titled Krauser, the dark reflection and you will realize just how many nuances they added to him. Also, Ashley is now fully a "heroic civilian" archetype (the same kind of character as Sandra Bullock's in the movie Speed). She is honestly very impressive as a person now when you think about how much she does that is really hard for her to do, because unlike Leon she is not highly trained or experienced. Her progression is also wonderful to watch as you go. In the village she is terrified and skittish and Leon thinks about their situation purely tactically, in the castle she opens up a bit more and Leon's word choice when talking to her also changes, making the two feel much more like companions, and in the island she becomes considerably more brave and proactive, jumping enthusiastically at any chance she can find to do something to help, and Leon shifts from telling her to do something to asking her. Both Leon and Ashley also puts the safety of the other at a higher priority than themselves on multiple occasions. In Leon's case it's fairly obvious, and in Ashley's case there are a number of occasions but the three most standout ones are the part where Saddler mind controls her and she runs away from Leon specifically to prevent herself from hurting him, the Ashley gameplay segment where she ventures into the fucking armadura infested mausoleum to help Leon, and near the end of the game where she tells Leon to use the surgical machine first. They are both clearly shown to care about each other on a personal level and their growing friendship is really good to see.

If anyone is wondering why the burger in RE2 looks so good. They used the same image capture tech they used for the actors face on a burger.

Waiting till they remaster Chris punching a boulder

I remember the first time I encountered the Regenerator back in the original resident evil 4. That ragged breathing gave me nightmares. And it took me till 3rd playthrough to realize that you can use the thermal scope to see the virus in the body practically, trivializing the whole encounter

I really liked the Merchant's "guess breaktime is over", because it sounds like he's eating a sandwich. My Brother in Christ, how is he eating a sandwich through his mask...

The entire game was a Rollercoaster ride of fun. Getting to hear and see the remake of the sunglasses-wearing mad lad that is Wesker is just icing on the cake.

i agree with your ghibli takes. princess mononoke, to me as well, remains as the most solid piece of ghibli cinema. however, kiki's delivery service stays closer to my heart.

I think a major issue with the side characters is that most of their development and backstory is done through optional files that you can read. Because most players, myself included, will skip out on that shit because they wanna get back to the game. You get to read about Ramon’s descent into madness and betrayal of his family, due to his manipulation by and faith in Lord Saddler. You get to read about Luis’ tragic backstory about his grandfather killing himself in a fire due to being infected by the plaga, and how Luis’ mind was brilliant and he went on to work for Umbrella and actually helped create Nemesis. You get to learn about Saddler’s bloodline and their history with the Salazars. And none of that is in the story itself, it’s in optional files.

Now that you finished RE4, if you are looking for a new game, I suggest Dredge, it has overwhelmingly positive (which, you know) and I can confidently say its one of the best games I played recently You are a fishermen, that ends up In an mysterious place, you go travelling around the map meeting different people and slowly advancing towards the end of the game, with a whole bunch of surprises along the way. This game is very calm and relaxing most of the time, until the night falls, when you start seeing weird stuff all over the sea, which might peek your curiosity, until you get close to whatever you are looking at and realize its too late. As I said the game can be very calm and relaxing, but that doesn´t remove the fact that this game has some eldritch/lovecraftian horror, which make a really good and original mix I highly recommend you check it out. Im sorry if this was a little long or confusing, but trust me, the game is at least worth a shot.

The Ada voice problem is weird because even the voice director getting blamed doesn't make sense either since every other characters in the game kills it except her. Either Ada for some reason had a inept director solely for her character or it actually was a VA issue as much as people don't want to admit it.

Bricky WT Ad, I wasn’t expecting that 10:06 Seeing a purple flame was always a big relief. Some safety and perhaps a shooting gallery to relax

0:47 As Ukrainian I'm quite overwhelmed by war BUT I will never be overwhelmed by your support Bricky! Thank you and Slava Ukraini)

Shirtless Leon is my beloved

I love the felling of being low on resources and generally spooked and then seeing a purple light in the distance, ensuring some safety and comfort is nearby

"Leon why did you do a flip?" If you can flip, you must flip. it's the rules.

i am frothing at the mouth for an re5 remake, that game is so fun in coop and i don't think people care as much about keeping the original intact, it's just an extremely fun game and the formula set up in this one would be insane for re5

Bricky I just want you to know that you've quickly become one of my absolute favourite people on this site. I watch every video you make, even on games that I have no interest in and would never play. Your passion for things and the way you show how unabashedly you appreciate things is so welcome and I just simply like it a lot. Props to you!

God help those devs who need to remake RE5 and 6

Leon Skennedy is just too awesome for silly rules like logic

I will say that the ammo rationing did break down for me a bit when i got the Red9 stock because i instantly sold my old handgun and maxed its damage. The curve evened out again later but i busted it again with 1.5x damage boost. When i was on the island i was never ever now on shotgun shells

They do the title drop after you've beaten the game, they also do it if you switch to the "Classic FX" and soundtrack before the game starts.

I had the exact same game feeling as Bricky. This game just had me relaxed in a nostalgic way.

6:45 I very much expected an evil dead reference but they never delivered 😂

Krauser was absolutely the best thing about this remake, he was phenomenal, his tragic story, his tension and dialagues with leon, like it's actually a mentor and student relationship, hell you even feel bad when you kill him, besides that he is the best boss fight in re history, it's such a unique boss fight, like it was straight out of a duel of fates or Kurosawa samurai duel, like you can't help but fight him with a knife because it's so satisfying. And then the end line: "I trained you well, leon" brought a tear down my eyes, it was the first time he called leon by his actual name instead of just "ROOKIE" the moment where he was proud of leon, it reminds me of the line "defeated by my own son? The feeling is not entirely unpleasant" in sekiro where you defeat owl .not to mention his knife is the best looking knife I have ever seen in a video game.

Me when I saw a regenerator turn into an iron maiden: ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!!

12:51 you described exactly as to how I enjoyed the game so much. It really was like that.

I think your opening would change about luis if you read the notes throughout the game. It develops him greatly without sacrificing gameplay time.

Honestly, this game is perfect in my opinion, one of the very very few "perfect" games for me 🔥

My one complaint which lasted the entire game was the aiming crosshair, I just wanted the lazer sight back and having it as an attachment for only two guns was not enough

19:14 Yeah his voice actor strongly reminded me of a "military" type character in some old movie I've long forgotten. Like um.. maybe a younger Gary Busey? I can't remember what it was, but they spoke very-Very similiar to Krauser in this game. That line right there.. (19:40) is what I'm talking about. Dang it all, that is SO familiar to some older movie I've seen, I swear. Same setup too, I do recall. Them being on the "hostile" side of the storyline, etc. Anyhow, Yes. Fantastic voice acting on Krauser! 28:20 "They have a cave troll..."

Pretty sure Xur in destiny is the merchant lol

Glad to see that you're also a fellow porco rosso enjoyer bricky

I've never had a review be so good I came back to watch it more than once. Thanks Bricky.

Great video! If I had the time to game as much as I used to this would be a day one purchase for me. Looking forward to that RE5 remake, as well

The Merchant is just Chris stealing all of Leon's money to buy the steroids needed to be able to punch boulders

I think the biggest problem with Ada is the sheer fact they chose someone who clearly isnt used to doing voice-work, and I'm not talking about the performance. You can physically hear the difference in audio quality between her and the other characters. That right there tells me she wasnt using the same kind of professional studio/recording environment as everyone else. It wouldnt shock me to learn that the voice director either wasnt present, or at least couldnt set up the same lines of communication they had with everyone else, which would've made actually directing her... difficult at best.

I have played the game 3 times so far. 1st on hard-core, immediately on professional for seconds, and 3rd to start the upgrade grind of all the weapons. Gunna go through it again to keep upgrading those weapons before using all those weapons for speed running and all those extra challenges.

Funny thing is the most op thing is crouching when there's an incoming projectile just crouch and you're good to go. It's really effective also avoiding enemy grab to conserve some of your knife durability.

It might not be confirmed yet, but an RE5 rebuild overhauled as well as RE4's would absolutely slap. Doubly so if they manage to keep the co-op in.

Honestly the Island kinda drags for me, the Village and the Castle are so good that once you are locked into a linear section it feels like a massive drop off in quality. I would also say they didn't really utilize the regenerators as best as they could, seeing as every encounter with them can be fought one-on-one, which when you compare it to its spiritual successor in Dead Space the Hunter where that feels more like a combat puzzle and less a test on how quickly you can humiliate them like it is for the regenerator.

Good to see your channel popping off again

Good news Bricky they do have the “Resident evil 4” at the main menu if you bought the original music/sfx dlc from the deluxe edition

Ayyy another Porco Rosso enjoyer! I live in Croatia, and the views of the sea on a sunny day are incredible. The islands in the movie, there are similar ones in real life and it was really fun to watch and relax.

26:01 I think when it comes to a remake I mix the comparison and standing alone

Now with RE4 remake such a success, will we have RE 5 remake in its boulder punching glory?

There are actually some hidden files which tell Luis and other characters' background story, such as the attic in the firstboss's house, the place where luis got kidnapped, the secret altar and so on.

Re4 in vr has been a real blast if you have a vr and want a different experience to the game, only vr in original

I find it crazy that the title read out *IS* actually still in the game, it just only happens if you have the OG Soundtrack enabled

I will never be mad at how RE4's big bad is named Adam Saddler

I like to think that, how OG RE 4 revolutionized and set a standard for gaming. I think the RE 4 Remake set a standard on how Remakes should be made.

This is the game we needed in this day and age loved every second of it got the platinum and I still want more

Every time I've ever explained what I love about this game I've always said the same exact thing about it being just a real God damn video game. Makes no apologies for what it is and instead embraces the medium tropes. We can have an imersive story with a completely unexplained merchant, because upgrading guns in a video game feels good. It's just so God damn earnest, like Leon.

Truly an amazing game. Pacing, story, balancing, gunplay... And that merchant, a delight every time I saw him.

I am really looking foward to the RE5 remake. Its my first RE and i remember it fondly. Also im looking forward to sheva being in a game again. She kinda has that spot in my Mind that Ada seems to have for bricky here.

Condor One to Roost, Going *BINGO*

"Please don't leak classified documents." "...imma leak shit."

Ada's new outfit is worn by Lana Kane, from the show Archer.

This guy just casually puts Cinder's theme from KI under his ad. What a chad.

what was the song around 27:00 when he talks about the blacktail?

2:50 they actually do if you use the original soundtrack, it's kinda fire

I think Capcom is planning to make a Remake of RE5 i just wonder how they are going to do it. The Combat was similar to RE4 (original) staying still while shooting and melee attacks on stunned enemies. Minus the part about having a partner to help you if you got grabbed. Although i do hope they nail Wesker the boss fights down...yeah im looking at you boulder!

i love the instant betrayal you felt after falling through the floor lmao

I'm sorry, but after seeing the regenerators put out the needles, my brain immediately jumps to calling them "THE I M P A S T A - *THE F O R B I D D E N S P H A G E T T T I"*

I like that for the merchant and the various notes you find regarding him, you get the idea that he fucking hates Los Ililuminados but it's never explained why.

i await the day they do an RE5 Remake, because i didn't realise how much i wanted to mash X to punch a boulder until i thought about doing it with updated graphics, physics, and in 60 FPS.

Can anyoone tell me what that music is at 15:26 I've heard it fbut for the life of me cant remember what it is

"Smoothness in the RE Engine" Bricky... did you play Devil May Cry 5? That's on RE Engine, and it's got the smoothest, most precise and amazing combat ever!

ah yes resident evil 2 with the scariest character "the big fucker with the hat"

The merchant is Resident Evil's Tom Bombadil and I love him. lol

The only explanation we need of the merchant is him in a bar drinking with the merchant from village.

I see bricky, I click bricky
