I miss the gruesome deaths you had to watch Leon suffer through in RE4. One could say that’s only been brought back in spirit in RE8 but nothing quite can match it. I think Dead Space takes the award for being the one game to outdo this one aspect of RE4. (That and walking/strafing while shooting is COOL)

The dialogue is still badass regardless. 10/10 game.

One huge fault with the argument that RE4 caused the decline in the series is that it overlooks the fact that a lot of the old guard left Studio 4 for clover, including series lead Shinji Mikami. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the remake, because at this point not a single reviewer has had the gumption to point out the gameplay deficiencies.

RE4 and RE6 have very different design philosophies. Saying they are the same because they are both over the shoulder action games is like saying Halo and Half Life are the same because they are both first person shooters which is absurd. RE6 doesn't put any emphasis on positioning which is basically the foundation of RE4's design. When Leon aims, he has to ground himself, this is key to everything in RE4's combat loop. Your only real way of dispatching threats forces you to be immobile while using it, and given that space is such a powerful dynamic in video games, the effect on gameplay is enormous. It forces the player to be mindful of their position and of where they choose to stop and fire. It creates meaningful decision-making because the wrong choice can have dire consequences on your ammo and/or your health. Say there're three enemies getting really close and you only have 3 rounds left in your pistol, what do you do? In any other TPS you could just back up and reload and then keep shooting, all in one motion. But in RE4, you can only do one at a time, so which action is the priority? and where should you execute them? You're constantly making decisions and plans. RE4 forces your to commit to your action because you can only do one thing at a time, that's precisely why you can't move while aiming. It forces you to think about when or where to do what. it creates a tug of war over the ground between Leon and the enemies (spatial dynamic). The player wants Leon to keep his distance, while the enemies attempt to close in on him. This push-pull relationship contributes to the inhale-exhale flow of the shoot-outs. The closer the enemies are to Leon, the easier they are to shoot, but the more likely they are to attack him (spatial dynamic and risk/reward). Leon can gain ground by stunning and then fly-kicking enemies, but they need to be close to him/he needs to run over to them to execute the attack (risk/reward). The cool down after the fly-kick, where the player has no control over Leon, balances the mechanic and extends the risk/reward. Even if we talk about two games that have similar design, that doesn't mean they are both of the same quality. We still need to decide which game is better designed overall. Just Look at RE1 remake and RE0. RE1 remake is way, WAY better designed than RE0. So you can still love RE1 remake and not enjoy RE0 even though both games are similar. Saying that you should love RE6 just because you love RE4 (or vice versa) is nonsensical.

RE4 stays in an odd middle ground between a modern action game and its survival horror heritage. That's the main reason I consider it to be rather bland. I started playing RE4 after I had completed original trilogy and RE6 (not mentioning RE5 but that one I had played as a child). Sorry, I tried to like it, maybe my expectations were too high, maybe my experience gathered in RE6 make the game too easy, but I was bored playing it. Maybe if fanboys were not trashing RE6 so much then I would enjoy it more. Yeah, lovers of RE4 are hypocrites, RE6 is the natural evolution of that game. After all The Evil Within by Shinji Mikami chooses the same direction.

As much praise as it's gotten over the years only for fans to suddenly shift gears and despise it due to the sins of RE5 & 6 shows fans are either willfully ignorant or placing the blame in the wrong place. You people don't hate RE4, you hate Capcom being a bunch of dumbasses for not understanding why RE4 was so good in the first place. And those who hate Ashley only hate her on principle because the hate the very idea of escort missions in video gane no matter how well they're implemented.

I respect your opinion, but I DO hate RE4, because it was the beginning of the end for the series (thankfully not forever though), and all the things that are hated about 5 and 6 are already present in 4. All three of those games would be better forgotten in my opinion. RE4 was the first to focus entirely on action and throw away the survival horror elements that made the series famous. I have always been of the belief that if RE4 was released as an entirely new IP, I would have been able to enjoy it much more than I did, because I DO understand the acclaim it gets to an extent. But as a Resident Evil game, it's awful and it doesn't deserve the name at all. To me, the series will always be at it's best between 1-3 and Code Veronica, but I do really love 7-8 as well to a lesser extent.

The iconic dr salvador isn't all that scary when you just keep knocking his ass down with a shotgun until he's dead. Super salvador on one of the challenge levels was 100 times more intimadating since he just shrugged off blasts and kept coming for you. Giving enemies guns isn't fucking scary, villagers and cultists were scary because because they didn't care if you shot them, they still came at you full force in big numbers, ready to maul you with sharp deadly weapons, or even bite your flesh off if they get close enough.

@@ninja_tony A lot of what people complain about 4 is present in the classic games as well. RE4 is action heavy? The Resident Evil series was getting progressively more action oriented with each installment. Anyone who complains about how much of a badass action hero Leon is in RE4 need to go back to Code: Veronica and look at the bullshit Claire does in the opening cutscene of the game. There's at least a 6 year time gap and government training for Leon to be that badass, but Claire did it in 3 months. Also, Matrix Albert Wesker in RE5 is only there because Code: Veronica started it. Action has always been present in Resident Evil games, RE4 was simply the next step of it. Besides, what was RE4 supposed to do, be the same as all the games that came before it? The series got stale and formulaic by Code: Veronica, REmake was great, but it did nothing to push the series forward, it just perfected it's origin, and RE0 was boring as shit. Also, there's only so much you can do with zombies. If RE4 was more of the same, it would be over for the series. The series needed a refresher and RE4 did a great job. It changed the perspective from fixed cameras to over the shoulder, it replaced the zombies with Ganados, spaces are more open and less claustrophobic, allowing Ganados to flank you, and the focus on action is more emphasized, but it doesn't complete throw away elements of classic RE games. Tank controls are still there, limiting your mobility like in the past games. Puzzles are still there, backtracking is still there, and exploration is still there. While they're less emphasized, they're still there. The game still has horror and has it's moments where it knows when to slow down the pace (although, the horror mostly dies down in the island segment of the game). RE4 does something different, however, it's not ashamed of the past RE games. If anything, it's an affectionate parody of Resident Evil as a series. The games may be survival horror, but they're also silly as fuck whether intentionally or not. RE4 is a love letter to the series while also an attempt to keep the series fresh. Unfortunately, Capcom didn't know what the fuck made RE4 so good in the first place., they assumed everyone just wanted action, so they released RE5 and dropped any and all pretenses of it being survival horror in favor of being a straight up action game with many on-rails shooting segments and no puzzles as well as having a story that takes itself way to seriously in spite of how silly it is. RE6 is an absolute slap to the face to the entire series as it's an overly serious story clashing with one bombastic action set piece after another and is the point where they officially got rid of tank controls. People like to place the blame on RE4 for the downfall of the series and survival horror in general, but the series was already on a downward spiral before RE4 as it became very stale and was doing little to innovate after RE3: Nemesis as Code: Veronica is such a step backwards to that game. Shinji Mikami himself was also thinking the series was getting stale, he was tired of it being stuck with zombies which you can only do so much with, and if RE4 wasn't the game changer it was, the series would have been cancelled right then and there. The issue isn't that RE4 is different as claiming that RE4 isn't a true Resident Evil game because it's not a fixed camera, zombie game is like saying Super Mario 64 isn't a true Super Mario game because it's not a 2D, linear side-scroller. Both games change the perspective of their series while also retaining elements of their past games. RE4 is not like God of War (2018), which is a game that's ashamed of it's past games, is completely different in tone and gameplay, and retain nothing that made the series great in the first place. RE4 is not the problem and if it weren't for it, they're wouldn't even be a RE5 & 6 to eventually lead to the series recovering. RE4 is what gave Resident Evil a fighting chance, and the stupid decisions of Capcom are not this game's problem.

Hey there, Craig. How likely is it that you are going to make a video on MGS games, similar to your Splinter Cell and Hitman reviews?

Great vid! Especially loved your point about not lumping RE4 in with its lesser-loved siblings. Aaaaaand now I want to put Replicant and Nocturne down to play RE4 again.

You're right on every account. RE games was what I watched my dad play growing up, and when he got 4 for the first time, I was in aw. I'm pretty sure it was the first RE game I ever played (though it might have been 0 and I'm just thinking of all the time my dad played it). It has been one of my favorite games ever and tied for first in the RE universe for me. And yes, I am going to go play it now. Great vid :)

6:10 "there's no enemies sprinting at you wildly swinging an axe". You're right, just a giant double bladed chainsaw in the case of super salvadore in mercenaries water world. And he's the hardest enemy in the game for it in my opinion lol. Also, that song you just barely snuck in at 24:15 made me laugh so hard, I wonder how many people noticed

I played this game when it came out in 2005 on Gamecube and absolutely loved it. I didnt play it again until last year and I enjoyed it just as much as when I was 15, or even more. Complete masterpiece.

I played the game on release when I was 23. I honestly still think the game is scarier than it gets credit for. Not as much so as the first few games, but much more unsettling and creepy than people would have everyone believe. When it gets dark and it's raining, the only time you see things is when the lightning strikes and you see a demon dog's eyes right on front of you. That got me the first time

An excellent analysis of a wonderfully timeless game, indeed. Even though you confirmed many things I was already aware of, you touched on a few new elements that makes the playing even better. I have enjoyed all of the RE games, even with their little quirks and shortcomings. Gaming certainly has come along ways since the days of Pong back in the seventies. Keep up the great work!

God I really don’t want them to remake this. It’s perfect the way it is and it’s my go to whenever I’m bored and run out of games to play. I know every secret like the back of my hand. Just fucking perfect.
