    i always assumed the reason leon and krauser's fight sounded like happy slaps was because they're not actually deflecting with knife on knife, they're just redirecting (i think it's also called "passing") each other's strikes like trained martial artists typically do. its a nice touch considering their training, i haven't played an RE game but this one i might pick up sometime, it looks fun

  • @callmejoe8594
    @callmejoe8594 Před rokem +190

    So one thing I want to talk about the story is that I *really* like how Krauser and Luis are utilized in Leon's personal journey here. Leon's personal conflict has to do with the RC-incident and his government training making him lose the idealism he had as a rookie. Luis embodies that idealism as a fan of Don Quixote, a man who's obsessed with the romantic notions of knighthood. Krauser, being the one who molded Leon into what he is now, symbolically works as the one to kill Luis. It's something I can really appreciate here.
    I also agree with your assessment on REmake 4 is more of a compliment to the original rather than a replacement.

      Haven't watched the video yet just scrolling through comments to see what people are saying and I disagree with the game being a compliment completely, it's a spit in the face. RE4 is one of those games where there's not a single thing I can GENUINELY and LEGITIMATELY hold against it and the remake is like a what if scenario where "what if Resident Evil 4 wasn't good?" I'm almost done with the game and during my time I haven't felt anything but boredom and disappointment, it lacks soul and is just such a downer of an experience. It's getting its dick sucked dry for now but I'm calling it, it's not gonna age well when being compared to the original. Crowbcat's video sums up the conversation better than I could.

    To respond to John’s question to new players who have only played the remakes on if they feel 4 remake was a good escalation to 3, I’ll admit there were times I was absolutely missing the dodge mechanic. There were times where I was more reckless than I should’ve been cause my mind was still in “I can dodge if I’m in real trouble” mode only to obviously be overwhelmed not too long after lmao.
    Overall though I do think 4 remake was a perfect step forward and I still had so much damn fun playing this game that it not having a dodge button didn't really bother me most of the time.

    The original RE3 had a sidestep that wasn't in any of the other classic RE games, so I don't think it's a problem or mistake to lose it for RE4's remake. The parry feels much better and keeps you closer to the action, so I feel it accomplishes the same gameplay loop as the original RE4. That version was all about forcing you to close the gap and melee, so now the parry lets you do it faster.

    I’d have loved to see a type of hallucination mechanic ala Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem. Saddler could occasionally appear like Alma from F.E.A.R., randomly appearing from the corner of your eye then disappearing. You could also hear whispers from time to time calling out to you. Maybe the fountain pours blood for a few seconds. Maybe a tentacle drags across the floor quickly leaving to show the plaga trying to reach out to you. Ashley could be affected, randomly making her suddenly walk towards the enemy to be taken. She might ask Leon if he’s okay or Leon might check on Ashley. This can all show that Saddler, even if he’s not close to you, still has control. Maybe it might mean, he’s near Leon and Ashley, roaming the area like a tyrant in his own right. Also, why not let you get a free ticket for completing all the missions since by then you should be nearing the final level for your weapon. You could also have an extra ticket somewhere in the world that changes each playthrough and tickets could be sold for money.

      It’s not a one-time glitch, it's a direct result of the 60 FPS option of the HD ports of RE4 which completely messes up certain game elements. You have to be twice as fast when mashing if you play on the PS4, Steam, Xbox and Switch versions of RE4.
      Plus I seem to remember that QTEs are sped-up on professional even in the old versions of the game (GC, PS2, Wii etc.) so you have an unintended AND an intended disadvantage.

    Johnny, to have fun with Luis in Mercenaries, build up your Mayhem Mode meter then everytime you use it, you drop dynamite at your feet which gives you ample I frames to completely negate fatal attacks. You can shoot it to detonate it early and use it for crowd control. Once it's detonated you can place as many as you can detonate before Mayhem Mode runs out. They do no damage to you but insane damage to enemies and kill bosses in one or two uses. Luis is actually ridiculous. Do running melees for shoulder charge instead of the pipe since it's faster. The man is a menace.

    It's certainly not a big loss in RE4R (Leon has plenty of combat options as it is) but, despite my overall indifference toward RE3R, against certain enemies, like Nemesis, the dodging felt great! I feel weird suggesting this, considering that I think RE should still have horror as a priority, but I'd love to have an entry that includes the remake dodges and parries. It doesn't have to be a mainline title but those mechanics feel so satisfying that I'd love to see them brought together in some fashion.

    They should remake code Veronica and that’s it, RE5 doesn’t need a remake at all, instead of remaking some of the more mediocre entry’s in the series, Capcom is better off in new territory, Village was very promising and while I don’t want the franchise to go first person, the foundation was great and we should continue with new ideas instead of just treading backwards.

    @tboe9007 Před rokem +3

    As for the dodge mechanic, I feel it did not need to be here. Seeing as Leon can duck under lots of attacks such as grabs or hatchets, you still have some ability to dodge certain attacks without sacrificing the durability of your knife, if you are skilled enough. The game doesn't tell you this except for the scythe enemies and certain boss fights, and I kind of appreciate that. I think it makes repeat playthroughs far more rewarding to master this and, while it isn't nearly as reliable as it was in RE3, it feels way better to pull off. It gives an extra layer to those split second decisions and I think it makes the combat feel a lot more interesting.

    • @MrSlendyMannn
      @MrSlendyMannn Před 9 měsíci

      Agreed. There’s nothing more satisfying than executing a perfectly timed crouch in this and barely dodging a hatchet to the face or a grab in a crowd of enemies. The parrying itself is insanely gratifying to get good with too.

  • @strawberryforte
    @strawberryforte Před rokem +3

    Regarding the dodge mechanic from RE3 and whether I prefer it or the knife parry from RE4, I definitely prefer the parry. To me, it just feels a lot more satisfying, hearing that sound of the knife making whatever it hit bounce back, especially when it comes to the molotovs.

    I'm an old school RE player that loves the hell out of the new games, but I can say one of the difficult things adjusting to when playing a lot of one game then switching to the other is the changes in defensive options. I kept wanting to do Ethan's block and push when first playing RE4 Remake, and when playing RE8 in third person at first I really wanted to dodge.

  • @Jam-og1km
    @Jam-og1km Před rokem +2

    I think in terms of the dodge mechanic, I think I prefer it not being in the game, as it's Jill's specific move in re3, whereas parrying is Leon's thing. It makes the different protagonists feel more distinct from each other

If she got to flex around in Separate Ways, fine. If not, those who harassed her can cope harder.

      Plus, it is not her fault, but that of the ones who directed her. I'm sure a professional like her was more than capable of delivering her lines in a more... cartoonist/energetic way, but others decided the kind of intonation she had to use.

    • @magicmush1998

      This isn't IRL though. RE4 even in remake form is still an over the top game with a circus show of characters. She didn't deserve harassment for it, but she did a pretty mediocre job. Putting a character who sounds bored out of her mind with over the top villains like Salazar or Krauser doesn't fit.

    I was not fully clicking with the combat in early parts of the village. I was a bit too use to the invincibility frames and stunning enemies much easier in the original. I also found that enemies tended to get unstunned faster than expected, the window to melee is not as long. But after getting use to those changes and getting a better handle on the Parry mechanic, it really clicked and I was enjoying the hell out of the game.

  • @TheAeonAnimA
    @TheAeonAnimA Před rokem +2

    The dodge was there, but it was WAY more nuanced. Most obviously, it didn't have this massive payoff of auto aim and i-frames during. When I watched Maximilian Dood play R3make, he basically schooled his chat that if he could dodge through the game why should he fight? He steamrolled the game and I could see that it broke most basic encounters.
    In this game, he used the "Sprint" button to juke toward the Right-to-left axe swing of a Ganado as a test and it completely whiffed. He noted you have to dodge into where the swing was coming from there. It's definitely intentional because it looks like when Leon does it in cutscenes, but it's not invincible and still requires you to sidestep away from where attacks are tracking toward.
    From my personal experience It feels like an evolution because it's not so obvious when you do it but it's still effective and doesn't force you to aim at the enemy if say maybe you wanna aim at something else like an explosive barrel.

    Interesting thing to note is that in addition to the U3 fight being removed, they changed the black cloak verdugo so that it is called U3 insteadand at some point it just completely disappears from the story instead of showing up when you fight Ramon. I imagine that might be in a DLC story.
