While I was playing the game I kept asking myself how did Capcom managed to do these cutscenes in real time. Lighting in particular was a puzzle. After seeing this video everything makes so much sense. These tricks aren't revolutionary but they are so well thought out and placed.

The Leon and Ada fight scene was still very smooth, even in out of camera. So cool

3:08 Maybe those Umbrella medicine bottles are Hunnigan researching Luis' past work for them?

this remake was incredible, glad to see you cover it in a video.

I don’t suppose it’s possible to watch the village fight from a different view? Many people have suspected enemies teleport around the map throughout this whole fight. It would be great to see this first hand

It’s kind of amazing how lights move around in video game cutscenes just like a real cinematographer would light each shot

I'm pretty sure 9:04 is the game over screen used when Ashley is captured by any Ganados at the castle.

I'm thinking that the cube at 17:10 could potentially be what holds the animations/textures for the scenes/gameplay sections where Leon has Las Plagas coursing through his veins. I'm just basing this off of visuals alone, though.. so I may be wrong!

Imo, the cube is here for two purposes : - Aim point for Ganados, they'll always try to hit this spot. - The texture for the corrupted blood in Leon's veins.

I think it's so cool seeing the light sources move in each cutscene.

Just started the video but wanted to share how impressed I am with your thumbnail, that's the first time I've seen that "3D" effect used on KZfaq and I'm sure it will bring a bunch of others to your channel as well like it did for me.

2:59 Those bottles could be related to Luis' background check. After you call Hunnigan, a file appears in your collection screen that talks about how he worked on Umbrella drugs, and it mentions (see attached file) at the end. Maybe there was meant to be a picture of the drugs and it was cut?

I have consumed a LOT of REm4ke content, and this is inarguably the single greatest piece of it. Brilliant from all angles. 🤘🏻

i can confirm the calls with the small scenes of the characters are pre rendered as i have a mod that turns Ada's outfit white instead of Red and in her calls it is still red

I turned on Ray tracing on my Series X and the game still runs extremely smoothly. I was actually amazed. The RE engine has amazing optimisation.

If you do have any requests you think I missed, drop a comment and I'll try to include them in a future video or even a 'short'. Thank you for the support and I hope you enjoy the video!

What I'd like to know is if those villagers do in fact go to Bingo after that initial battle 😂

5:29 it seems capcom knew that we would have an out of bounds video

it was always interesting to see what happens under Salazar's boss arena

14:57 Confirmed Leon has the ability to teleport at will, but keeps his momentum just like how real teleportation would work.

Hunnigan having a note to get contact lenses is likely a reference as to how she's not wearing her glasses at the end of the og game, my head cannon was that she simply lost them and didn't have a backup pair at hand, I guess her getting contacts makes more sense.

i just want to see wtf happens to the first regenerador that you see in the hallway before running off into a room with no exits and magically teleporting into the dissection room where he is napping on a chair.

Wow hairless Leon returns? Did not expect that!

I love that you're posting again and that you're covering RE4R! Esp. after your stellar videos on RE7 & 8. Lovely to get a bit of British banter into the videogame sphere

So happy to see you back Slippy! Always loved watching your videos, it is so interesting to see how these games work off screen and your production quality is amazing!

The Ada fight looks even sicker as a one-shot!

Its great to see this legend get back into content creating

Makes sense it runs so well-everything is handcrafted and hidden very carefully. Kudos to the devs!

Hella excited for this! Just beat the game, honestly one of the best remakes I’ve ever played, they did a great job of trying to modernize it while keeping most of the feel of the original. Really Enjoyed the slight lean into the horror elements

this was my GOTY for 2023, so getting to see this look into the behind-the-scenes stuff is *really* cool. thank you so much for making and sharing this video!

that tiny room off camera in the castle section is where Ashley gets taken when she’s captured

There's something special about watching how the magic is done!! Amazing video!!! 👏

Are we not going to talk about how PHENOMENAL those intro transitions were!?!? Practically seamless!!

Frans Bouma's camera tools are top tier. The amount of work he puts into them is incredible. I base most of my purchases on whether or not there's a camera mod for it. It's fun to watch in-engine cutscenes from a fixed viewpoint to watch everything move around and the lights change.

Always find these fascinating, look forward to the boss analysis vid.

This is so much better than the boundary break episode of this game!

I like how she has that oldschool hardware MIDI under her monitor. She plays doom and commander keen down there when she's bored and it sounds absolutely FANTASTIC.

Thank you for taking my request 😃 this is a another great and informative video, I was jumping up when I saw Wesker for the first time because that could mean a remake for RE5 and even if I love this game, the controls are killing me and I would love to see a fresh look on this game 😃😃😃

It's amazing how a bunch of these models work off camera

you're doing the lords work, i appreciate it a lot!

The green developer easter egg you mention at 20:00 is in fact referenced in the remake. In the shooting range, there is one target wearing a green shirt

In the room with Hunnigan, there's some easter eggs on a billboard with sticky notes on it

I am blown away that the modeling for the cut scenes are the actual player models in game. That’s just blows my mind. I’m so impressed and proud of Capcom and that team hell of a job and thanks for the behind-the-scenes peaks.

Maybe the cube in Leon is supposed to be his Las Plagas and responsible for the Plaga veins that show up on him later?

9:01 That room below the castle seems very similar to the Garrador dungeon fight. 17:13 I'm also curious what Leon's cube exactly is. Is it meant to represent the Plaga? Does Ashley also have a cube like that, since she's also infected and a playable character? Is it a data-cube?

The fact that Leon gets wacked twice by Méndez must have Lt. Branagh rolling in his grave.

transparent portion of thumbnail is so cool

It's crazy how much the lighting changes during cutscenes. Sorta makes me wanna develop a game so I can direct those beautiful scene :D

when arriving to the island for the first time in the remake to the left you can find the original area for the Saddler boss fight in the original game.

Dude El Gigante even has freaking tonsil stones and pits! Why did they go to THAT much detail? That's crazy

17:43 Nah they turned Leon into Eminem 💀

4:35 that’s where saddler appears in Leon’s hallucinations

9:03 might be a simplified version of the room, where Leon falls down into blind berserker fight. Map geometry also sort of supports it, it beign below and to the left of the castle entrance

Excellent video Capcom hit a home run with this game

in the minute 21:12 on wesker's monitor you can see pictures from Excella (from RE:5), the cave where Umbrella discover the flower to create the virus (in africa), on the left a picture with 3 shadows and on the right to me looks like Chris with the clothes he used in resident evil : revelations......excellent video as always, thank you !!!

Leon aiming down the sight of that rifle looks like Leon The Professional, LOL !!

Love the video Slippy!

The cutscenes in this game feel every bit as impressive as a blockbuster movie.

4:25 So far in the video, my guess is that it is the room where Saddler's monologues take place at points of the game (like after the del lago fight for example).

The officer doesn't say "Hey, I'm taking a leak". He says "¿Ey, hay alguien ahí?"(hey, is someone there?) Good video btw

I believe the room underground you mentioned at 9:03 ish might contain Luis' model during his Castle comms cutscenes. Just a guess

Bro the transitions are hitting different

fun fact about re engine, it cannot do real time reflections, or at least if it can then it does so in a very limited fashion, every single instance of mirrors in the games so far have either been prerendered videos (jill in the bathroom, lady D on the phone, krauser and leon looking at krauser's knife, etc) or the mirrors in question have been covered up or shattered

YESSSSS new video 😃 finished the game yesterday it was awesome

That "filling" is just what a common texturing error looks like

18:18 this actually Can't be a pre-rendered video, because the reflection actually changes based on the facial accessory Leon has equipped! So I'm guessing a Live camera angle on Leon's face rendered on the knife's surface

Del Lago in the thumbnail looks like that mountain in Uncharted 4 💀

@slippy slides At 19:14 you asked about removal of eyes, and for a developer explanation. Short answer: a micro-optimization related to animators and bones to skip calculating where eyes would be. --- *Long answer*: Eyes are typically a separated mesh but attached to bones that drive the head's animation. Developers who want to get the most out of every frame try to remove as many animated objects that are driven by bones/animation, if possible. (It's also possible that this mesh is simply hidden from being rendered, rather than deleted) Therefore, empty sockets.

Always fascinated by these things and real-time cutscenes, always thought and felt like it's already a recordd movie and played back to us! Also funny&cute Hunnigan bubble/room/space 🤣😂

Bro good video and all but tbh the thumbnail is the real hero

eyyyyy its our boi slippy, glad to see you back

I was so excited for the slippy video to come out on this game, cant wait to watch

Thank you so much for pronouncing El Gigante proper

Thanks for uploading this. I've been waiting for this one 😊

Capcom absolutely killed this one. I play it literally everyday as much as I can between work and training. RE has been my favorite series since 1998 and I was never a big fan of OG RE4 but this remake is has improved everything I didn't like about the old game. I'm so glad you came out with this Video it is so damn good bro.

PLEASE do Dead Space remake! Thank you! you are doing an awesome job

Very cool video. This game was simply amazing. I played RE2/4 more than any of the other games in the series as far as the originals, and I was very impressed with the RE2 remake that came out back in 2019 so my expectations were obviously very high for this one. It's funny because I don't play a lot of video games these days, and I didn't realize that an RE4 remake was even being made until like a week before it came out lol. I went in completely blind with high expectations, and the game still impressed me and delivered on pretty much every level. I played through the entire game like 4 times in a row and had a blast, then realized I had never got around to playing the remake of RE3, nor had I got around to playing RE8 - The Village (I wasn't a huge fan of the first person perspective change that was done in VII and just never got around to checking out VIII, and it's funny because now I am now finding out that VIII is basically a return to the style of RE4 with the merchant/upgrades/attaché case and so on) so I have been on an RE binge for the past month and all three games were fantastic. Capcom seems to have a really solid and talented team working on this series nowadays, I'm really excited to see what they will do next.

best thumbnail i've ever seen

17:39 Leon is actually malding after not getting the greetings from Ada

Great content! Love to see more :)

i love these vids. so cool to see how things work behind the scene we cant manualy see with out mods glitches and such.

Had this for my Game Cube

Finally i can see the Parasite in detail

I think the pillars hidden under the lake is from the walk to get rid of their plagas.

I've been waiting for this!!!❤

Room under the lake is where Saddler appears during several cutscenes. I was expecting to fight him in there whenever we got to the island and was surprised to never see it, so I recognized it instantly here

That room under the lake looks like where Saddler appears during early game cutscenes. EDIT: knew it!

I love these videos. Glad to see you are back Slippy

Now I'm like 99% sure that the jet ski path was the separate ways map

love how krusers knife is so shiny that not even blood clings to it

I think this is the vid Ive been waiting for!!

Amazing video, looking forward for episode 2

Yay I looked the other day if there’s a video of re4!

Yay! Just finished the video, your scene transitions are 👌🏻

Great video! Was hoping Luis would have the knife in his back as soon as he turned towards Leon 😂

4:35 That pillar room, if I’m not mistaken, appears to be the one that Saddler appears in during the cutscenes in which the parasite is having an affect on Leon.

Some beautiful editing in the beginning

5:58 nobody gonna talk about the tonsil stones? 😂

4:40 I'm guessing this is the room they use for Saddler's scenes Edit: nailed it

I knew that under-lake room was for Saddler 😂 it just reminds me too much of a “spooky antagonist talking to himself” room
