  • After waiting what felt like forever, the Resident Evil 4 remake finally dropped it was way better then I got could have ever imagined. Everything from the game play, characters, tone and level design was fantastic and gave Resident Evil 4 a true feeling of survival horror. Having said that, it wasn't perfect.

    Two things can be true: Resident Evil 4 didn't need a remake, and Capcom knocked it out of the park. There is no contradiction in those two statements.

    The Mercenaries DLC is confirmed to be free, but Separate Ways will likely be paid due to their plans to expand on it. Speaking of Separate Ways, data miners have found U3 mentioned in the Separate Ways files, and the other Salazar bodyguard that mysteriously disappeared midway through the game is referred to as U-III in one of the in-game files. So it's likely that Ada fights the other bodyguard in the upcoming Separate Ways campaign and that he transforms into the U3 similar to what we remember.
    I kinda like this change since it ties U3 into the story a little better than him just being some random monster to slow you down, and his placing in the game was always weird that he just kinda shows up right before Krauser, making the last few chapters essentially a boss gauntlet.
    Also Seperate Ways actually wasn't included in the original release and technically was a paid addition due to having to buy the PS2 version in order to access it

    • @ServusDeiSmith
      @ServusDeiSmith Před rokem +1

      Separate Ways wasn't the only extra in the PS2 version, and it doesn't make it a "technically paid addition. It's just that the PS2 and future ports included more content than the GC version.

    the original is a timeless classic. its controls make complete sense within the context of the level design and enemy behavior etc. because the handicap it puts on the player is designed around, that game cannot and will not ever age poorly. even graphically i think it holds up better than a lot of other games from 2004, mostly because of the quality of the animations (shoutout mgs3)

    • @ThaArabScarab
      @ThaArabScarab Před rokem +14

      Yeah she was annoying in the original but she would stay out of your way. The "spread out" option is honestly worse because she goes toward the corner of the room and half the enemies split up and go after her. I found it's best to just keep her behind you

    • @silentandcliche

      Ashely was never bad. That's why I'm confused when I see people claiming that the remake "fixed her". Fixed what exactly? In terms of writing sure, but as an escort mission she was always fine. I would argue that the original RE4 was one of the first and very few games that handled escort missions well.

    • @warmcoffee69
      @warmcoffee69 Před rokem +3

      @BadAssMacmillan yeah her ai never gave me issues in the original. The new system has some weird proximity bs that makes her run towards the enemies half the time lol. Again it's manageable. But definitely less predictable and therefore, less efficient.

  • @frankkennedy6388

    Saddler had almost no presence or screen time. Even when Ada fills him full of lead, the scene was rushed. the original scene took it's time to show how that did nothing and you see the bullets moving out of his body. He even smiles at such a pathetic attempt.
    Salazar's performance needed more emotion. He was so stiff.
    Krauser's backstory was nice, but he didn't need to be a sympathetic villain.
    I'm guessing U-3 didn't fit in the story somehow. It's strange, on one hand I hated fighting it, but I still wanted it in the Remake.
    Did anyone else feel the pacing was off? The game is still as long as before, but sometimes I'd think "Oh, It's this part already?"

  • @tobydaniels461
    @tobydaniels461 Před rokem +12

    great video :) i think saddler was pretty good in this game tho. the voice actor was doing a great job and the radio hacks being swapped for him communicating to everyone with the plagas parasite, commanding them to stop leon and ashley, was a worthy replacement in my eyes, making him quite a bit scarier. its a shame about salazar but i agree that i dont see how they couldve kept him the way he was whilst maintaining the tone of the remake canon

  • @josetomascamposrobledano4618

    Nah. Remake 4 is 10/10. But it’s 10/10 cause it’s RE4 with modern controls + parry.
    At the end of the day this “serious tone” didn’t do it any favors.
    Leave it to the Re community to be brainless, or at least a section.
    What I mean is that Remake 3 got a lot of critique by noobs because the iconic “I give you stars” line was put in a section that could be cancelled by a punch to the face.
    These hater noobs didn’t react and got shamed.
    But for Remake 4. Sometimes we get this “Serious” Leon. Then we get “classic” Leon because RE4 is an actual classic full of memorable lines which the remake paid respect to… which clashes and essentially makes Leon feel like 2 characters in 1 body.
    So again, Remake 4 is 10/10 just like RE4.
    But most opinions will come down to personal preference.
    Like while I’ve heard many say “so many rooms are harder”, me and other feel the opposite. Like how the lower section of water room is actually an easy clear with a flash because almost all enemies are programmed to become Mandíbulas, so we use our resources to create a combo. Parry in general is the nail in the coffin to an already easy to control positioning in gameplay, even the profesional change to parry is a small skill ceiling that tells people to Git Gud.
    Thanks for reading. I jumped too many topic.
    But my conclusion is that this Remake Trilogy has been very fun in general while at the same time all 3 originals also deserve some level of respect.

    It might be just because of how I set up for the fight but Sadler only got one hit on me. After I got the striker, sniper, and blacktail leveled up to where I wanted them I just dumped all my cash into getting the Butterfly at full damage and stocking up ammo. It'll be interesting to see how much harder that fight is on professional since I probably won't have a broken ass gun with tons of ammo to dump.

They made enough about the original better in the remake, that it has made up for the gems it missed from the original. it's so far GOTY - i'm not sure what that says though about originality when a remake is taking the top spot mind you.

    @12:40, I thought this part of the Remake was awesome; it was a standout for me. It's one of the only times you have such a situation, and it's nerve wracking and fairly challenging to juggle fighting the Regenerador/Iron Maiden while trying to keep Ashley from being taken. It's TOUGH, and I love it. There weren't many places in the remake where you had to balance self-preservation and ashley preservation - most of the time, those were one-and-the-same, so this section being one-or-the-other was brilliant.

      I disagree the original had more content and handled pretty much all the characters' stories and personalities better with the only exception of Ashley and Luis, I replayed the original after the remake and I had more fun with it, too much realism, Leon being nerfed and slowed down (he can't make ganados heads' explode with his melee moves anymore and runs and moves quite slower) and how he is too serious and less charismatic, Krauser turned into his teacher who is just an illuminados lackey and who has no goal in the story except "power" and being a douche to Leon whereas in the original he was Leon's comrade who was a double agent who didn't really work for the Illuminados but for Wesker and wanted to create a new world order helping him forge a new Umbrella, an Ada with no charm or personality and a dull voice, Salazar having a way less spectacular transformation and boss fight, Saddler who only meets Leon in the last part in the game only to take a bullet to the eye looking like a chump, no U-3, no laser room, and how slower and less spectacular Verdugo and Krauser's boss fights are in the remake didn't make it as cool as the original was for me.

Regardless, I think this game deserves props and to exist alongside the OG, we just can't live without both with just how great they are!

Plus production cost it's not the same as it was in 2005, hence why I'm also ok with paying as long as the content is on pair with the quality we received with the main content.. I have to disagree with saddler and Salazar take.. I take them more serious now than I did in the original game, the more mysterious take on saddler made me one to know more rather than his cheezy encounters over the radio.. at the end while the game is a remake I feel it's best to take the games in separate light.. remake is more serious and had me more engaged with the story.. og it's an amazing product of it's time hence more corny and cheezy at times

    Salazar is lame in the remake, so dearly missed to be honest. Saddler, i'd beok with his new version, if we had a proper Salazar, not every enemy has to be camp.
