If you can handle the original you can handle this for sure

​@@rasendori20 it is not. the original is not scary at all

Not scary for me (newcomer) most of the time, just tense. But the regeneradors made me shit myself

There hasn't been a "scary" Resi since 7.

Depends on what scares you. The early game atmosphere can be scary for some but after the opening Village fight, you mostly fight them in small groups outside of scripted events. Once the bad weather hits, the village area gets a bit spooky again as visibility drops. I personally didn't find the Castle area scary as the robed cultists kinda felt like I was just shooting Voldemort in the face a lot but that is also where you'll probably need knives or flashbangs handy to avoid instakill attacks. The first Garrador can be scary, and the Novistadors can jumpscare you because they blend in really, really well with the surrounding area. On the island, the Regeneradors, particularly the first two as you don't have the bio scope, are scary in how their behavior, movement style, and movement speed can change rapidly. One minute they're slow and lumbering, then suddenly they speed up and close the distance in order to rip a chunk out of Leon's neck. Even worse is how they sorta slither when knocked down and can stretch their arms pretty far to pull Leon towards them. The first Iron Maiden Regenerador will probably throw you for a loop too.

Objectively it's better to just play both. They're distinctive enough. One is faster, more action packed and the other is slower and more methodical.

Agreed fully it is why I love the remake a lot.

Exactly both have there merits

pretty close to my thoughts. i enjoyed it alot and had speed run most my extra playthroughs to get most unlockables. no regrets lol

I think despite all the remakes we got, REmake 1 is the only one which made the original obsolete.

Gameplay advantage unlocked: be multilingual

Honestly, I don't know Spanish but I just noticed the audio cues since I play with headphones on. The remakes have had some great audio design when it comes to the atmosphere and being able to tell where enemies are. Also, there's a lot of people who play without adjusting the camera for better situational awareness. Even in this video, it seems like the person playing is only focused on whats in front of Leon despite being in the middle of a chaotic assault from all sides.

I really wish they added subtitles to all the Spanish in the game, I think we only ever get it when Leon himself speaks it (which was admittedly a funny addition- how was his Spanish, btw?), But I wanna know what everyone is saying

thats actually pretty funny

My family speaks Spanish but I didn't speak it growing up until I learned it when I was older, but I still had the same advantage when I played it when I was younger when my dad happened to watch me play and translated those cues. Him watching me play the first cutscene was also where I learned what "cabrón" means.

Holy sh*t, you watch Nerrel content.

Yeah, I agree w the sentiment on the voice acting for sure. I think the voice acting didn't reach the heights of the original, but I'm fine with the majority of the new cast. But many characters have been improved vastly in my eyes. I don't mind the changes to Leon either - both versions of him are great to me, original or remake! Same goes with Krauser. His original voice actor did a phenomenal job, and it would have been hard to top that, honestly, but the new direction they went with, with his relationship with Leon being expanded to mentorship was super interesting. I do miss his "double-agent" agenda from the original, but I still think the new direction is interesting enough in how they played it. Ironically, I was also baffled by the controls talk too, bc I had an issue with the movement being LESS responsive than the original, and having that "modern game looseness" to it, where flashy animations need to play out for everything, resulting in unfair hits in things like trying to make sharp turns and getting punished for it. In a game with such a fast pace, having honestly clunky "GTA Style" movement can get really frustrating, REALLY fast. It worked better in the other 2 remakes to here. The same can be said for the bloom aiming on the guns. It was far more reactive on the other 2, and focused in quicker, so the overall nerf to focus speed on the reticle honing in makes absolutely 0 sense to me, from both a gameplay and lore perspective!

The complaints about the catapult section seemed odd, they all have obvious red barrels to take them out long before you get to the cannon.

So true, king

I agree with your sentiment too, but I also have to say that I loved the soundtrack for this game. Nerrel cherry-picked a section from the game with little to no music to prove his point, even though the remake boasts a butt-ton of new and remixed tracks that add so much tension and energy to the combat sequences of the game. And I will not take any disrespect on the new remix of Mike's backup ost, that shit had me so hype during my playthrough. (water hall ost got downgraded though tbh)

Actually found myself having to to like force myself to use red barrels for some reason..like I'm not sure what it was about this and it wasn't cuz they weren't there or that environmental things were not you know incredibly useful.. maybe a bit of it had to do with the is the game going to let me do this, because I've been stopped by a pile of shoes before.. and then you go through the thought process of well I mean.. if I'm going to use a red barrel I might as well get the most out of it because I lost all my fun time ammo accidentally thinking that one of the tentacle monsters was just one of the regular tentacle monsters and not a set piece specific technical monster.. so.. oh gosh darn it, really you couldn't go 5 ft through the door to try to get me.. I'm actually really not sure it's kind of surprising cuz I just come off of a Half-Life 2 modding stent.. and red barrels are kind of my favorite thing especially with the slippery kick mod where you can pick them up and kick them and then shoot them.. but then I guess with valves level design despite being very similar to this in terms of how it's a set piece pretend sandbox with a a puzzle component to the combat rather than actual system shock-esque player agency.. valve will never leave you hanging you will always have enough barrels if they want you to have them and you will always have enough to succeed should you obey them it's it's only when you get a little crafty and ungrateful that they bring out the heavy scripting like grenades that can't be caught with the gravity gun, or civilians that have like 12 redundant systems in order to make sure they get shot for the set piece.. but you're never actually in danger in half life.. whereas this is closer to the opposite it feels LOL and and I appreciate that kind of candor.. it works incredibly well for this kind of game design, and it's also been a very long time since I've had that so.. still I'm really confused why I have this like phobia of red barrels I'm just kind of spitballing it here.. like it wasn't a week ago that red barrels were my favorite thing.. and I thoroughly enjoy fun with Molly on what could have been a source ladder in a previous life but unlike Gordon Freeman, Leon's not a morphine addict and seems to have no trouble with them, go figure.. interestingly enough too I honestly never really got killed a lot by the red barrels only on certain occasions and a lot of things had to kind of Rube Goldberg their way there and I almost always knew it was going to happen when it did before it did.. whereas in Half-Life 2.. red barrels can just explode for like no reason LOL because, engaging physics systems that actually feel good and hold the stick are actually somewhat equal opportunity.. which is why we will never see them outside of very rare indie projects it seems.. hell I was just happy with the amount of physical interaction this game had which was surprisingly a lot by comparison to far too many games LOL.. although that also kind of starts highlighting that whole the only reason I can jump over that pile of shoes is because I've installed a mod that turns the Dodge from a quick time event to a Dodge.. and now I can dolphin dive over them.. LOL like that rhythm game Target lock on dark souls Dodge rolling everywhere kind of combat was always kind of ridiculous but somehow it's extraordinarily ridiculous in the situation despite more or less being the same thing.. maybe it's just cuz when he does it he actually seems like he actually just kind of crunch some cartilage or something.. I highly recommend that mod by the way.. just turn off the invincibility frames and you can still use your QuickTime Dodge for the QuickTime dodging that you're not going to get out of.. but especially when balance with the hardcore mode where those extended windows of like getting grabbed or set pieced is significantly shortened.. sometimes the old ways are the best ways it seems and it's nice to be able to make a functional mechanical movement and keep that part of your brain working while controlling the functional mechanical person thingy instead of stopping and, I guess this is like almost the modern equivalent to putting in another quarter? Or something like that.. I'll work on that analogy.

@@jakedill1304 Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about

The catapults actually become easy once you realize they all fire at the same spots over and over, and will only fire if you get near one. And as mentioned the red barrels on some of them. My first run which was on hardcore did not have any problems with the catapults.

Yea Jaik I don't understand why people complain about the castle section. I think most people don't pay attention at all. Like it's literally put into your face.

You could snipe them from the very beginning of the castle in the original if you wanted.

atleast re1 is good

Not anymore! Thanks, GOG!

Same, I'm starving for a great single player focused Dino game. Miss both Dino Crisis and Turok today.

They renewed the license for Dino Crisis a couple of years ago, so it isn't completely out of the realm of possibilities

@@Gruntvc a Turok 2 remake would be so fucking awesome

​@@AxeMain Yes, very much. It was a good send-off for the fixed-camera era of RE. It doesn't hit the highs of RER, and the villain is goofy as fuck, but it's an enjoyable experience all around.

even still, it's a bit unintuitive to not fill the player in on something like that while simultaneously building most of the game around it, right?

@@psipenguin8626the first ganado Leon kills in a cutscene is meant to cue the player in on the knifes defensive capability and the lethality of the roundhouse. But also there’s a tutorial pop-up early on that explains it.

@@Prawnsly I fair is a hard term to describe with any reviews because they are based of personal bias and play through for example I agree with his statements on the enemy stun but I disagree with his feelings on Ashley especially pertaining to the catapult sectiok

​@@PrawnslyYeah. I've seen some reviews that are just complaining simply because they didn't understand the mechanics. I wanna say skill issue so bad... Anyways, he had reasonable negativity. I don't agree about the soundtrack and the Atmosphere and I think that they great. I always thought the original RE4 soundtrack was pretty forgetful too. Some songs are really great like Serenity but that's pretty much it. But even still I thought that it was reasonable. I do have to say... I really wish that aiming on console was as good as on PC.

Hard to imagine the remakes being considered a subseries. I always imagined they're considered the new canon in the series, replacing their original counterparts.

But they can't remake 5 without code Veronica. If they do they'll have to change a bunch of the plot to make it make sense for people who haven't played CV. In the new re4 intro they Leon didn't even talk about the arklay mountains, which means if they remake 5 they'd have to change a lot about Wesker and Chris.

@@Enzed_ My hunch is that if they remake 5 they'll cover the relevant information from CV as a flashback. Maybe something like having the intro/tutorial segment being Chris and Claire escaping the prison island, seeing Wesker there doing his thing, then cut to Chris after 10 years of cat-and-mouse. Obviously you need to show that first meeting for 5's story to land, but considering 4 remake seems designed to be the reveal that Wesker's back in the new version of the narrative I don't think they'll be going backwards. Also if I can throw in something less concrete, Craig Burnatowski leaked concept art of Wesker from 4 remake a while before release, and in that piece he had his arm burned from Alexia, but in the final game that detail isn't there anymore despite everything else still making it into the final design, so we know for a fact that somewhere along the line in 4R's development there was an active choice to omit references to Code Veronica.

@@Enzed_ Resident Evil 5 was the best selling game in the entire series when it came out. Meaning that for *many* people, they played RE5 without having the slightest clue on what the previous games were about. And that seemed to turn out just fine back in 2009. I don't see why Capcom would think it wouldn't again.

I think you're dead on as to why a remake of RE5 is pretty likely at this point, as much as I personally don't want it. I hope they at least have the good sense to remake RE1 over-the-shoulder though, it would be weird if that was the only entry in the Wesker story that was left out. Call it Resident Evil Mansion or something lol

It doesn't. It feels tonally inconsistent.

sorry dude i would agree but that guy says you’re wrong

@@Frandelicious1337 Lady's and Gentlemen I present to you a difference of opinion, congrats folks you found out that you are both CORRECT!

Honestly that's the vibe I got from the remake. To me it comes off really comedic and "wink to the camera" when they play all this silliness so dire and straight. Its a different kind of goofy and silly than the original but I think its still valid. I think the "Bingo" line followed by the body is the developers acknowledging this. I think they know what they're doing.

@@ectofriend I think you're giving the devs too much credit there. They were probably trying to fit the original iconic line for fanservice but didn't notice (or didn't care) that it didn't fit the new tone and atmosphere they were going for.

And Sheva's excellent AI that'd waste healing items on paper cuts?

@@Gruntvc They'd better keep the deafening sound of screaming for your partner. And especially boulderpunching.

They actually removed that in a new update just a few weeks ago. It also added split-screen support on PC. It just took them a little more than a decade.

It’s fixed to assisted, but with aim assist turned off. You can tell by the AI being not as aggressive and the damage being relatively low.

Headshots are consistent in this game, they take between 1-3 shots almost always. Inconsistent is when something acts like it’s not supposed to, like if headshots are supposed to always stagger but sometimes randomly don’t The game has consistent rules, they’re just different than the originals and you need to take them into account. Like don’t stand and fight unless you’re sure nobody’s behind you and you have room to get away, don’t get tunnel visioned and snuck up on, it’s not always safe to run in for a stagger melee, and expect to need a couple of headshots to stagger an enemy The increased mobility in this game makes it easier to move around during combat, if every headshot staggered then the game would be a joke

​​​​​​@@TheFawse Leon has increased mobility in this game but he's not Batman. He still gets ganked in the recovery animations of certain actions, he can still get stun locked, he can still get body blocked by enemies getting up from the ground he should clearly be able to run through, and he can't 180° turn and immediately break into a run without pausing. You defended the headshots as being consistent, and then in the same breath begin to describe how they quite literally aren't. Enemies being far tougher to stagger and killer would be less a problem if the game also didn't restrict ammunition to levels of RE2 remake Hardcore, yet having so many encounters that force you to confront and defeat those enemies, which makes melee and knife followups more important than ever. If my success is heavily dependent on the "director" giving me ammo then I view that as unfair. Of course there are always things I could improve on as a player, but if my aim is great and I’m hitting my shots, going for stealth kills when possible and generally not overextending myself, then I shouldn’t be scrambling to find ammo and fail encounters like the Cabin, Waterhall, double Garradors, Salazar, and the final mad dash in the lab until the game decides to take pity on me. 2005 RE4 is so legendary because it eventually becomes a power fantasy with horror elements once you've gotten a handle of the combat even on Professional, and certain areas of the remake just ruin that satisfaction because of the limited resources and enemies that drain more of it. I'm happy other people are enjoying the remake tremendously though, I just wish I could say I was one of them.

This seems more like an issue with the difficulty you chose rather than it being removed. If you want enemies to be stunned easy you play on standard or assisted

@@megamonmon Brilliant idea! Sure would be nice if you had the option to lower the difficulty to Standard if you're not having fun halfway instead of having to restart your whole game though. How would a first time player intuit what difficulty they should play a game at BEFORE they've actually played the game? The menu said if you've played the original RE4 before, pick Hardcore, and that's what I did. I still grit my teeth and beat it, but it's just a misleading description - in reality it's more like "For players who have mastered the original RE4".

@@GIR177 well I figured that assisted as easy since it's at the top, hardcore is the hardest cause it's last (until you unlock professional) and standard is normal cause it's in the middle. It's not as obtuse as something like the NA version of dmc 3.

Tbh if 5 doesn't get splitscreen I'm not getting it, simple ass,

Wish they would remake Code Veronica first

​@@Scatmanseth'fun at party' prick is here, I see

Dude just saying shit about game

Ashley was done so much more justice in the remake it's insane. I don't think her character was bad in the original, but they flesh her out far better here and I'm shocked Nerrel didn't mention it

Yeah Luis and Ashley were a big upgrade, Krauser about the same but with some good new backstory, Ada quite a bit worse, and the others (Saddler, Salazar, Mendez) in the same ballpark. Overall I think that's positive because Luis and Ashley were much bigger characters in the story than the others.

Luis and Krauser were also much better in the remake. Luis got way more screen time and his buddy cop dynamic with Leon was fantastic. There were also files and photos delving into his backstory a lot more in the remake. The remake showed Leon and Krauser’s training in the intro, and the mention of Operation Javier and their training together added a lot of necessary context. They even commented on each other’s tactics and tendencies in battle. Krauser’s final moments in the remake were more emotional and made a lot more sense considering that he is Leon’s former comrade.

@@matthewzang6688 they made me actually interested in seeing just exactly what happened with Krauser and Leon in that jungle. Would make for a good DLC.

Ada's direction period was awful. You can tell the voice actress is better then she is, but the director just didn't get her to say things in ways that fit the scene or just made sense

I agree, the music for most of these new RE games are pretty bland and forgettable compared to past ones. Switching back to og soundtrack for RE2 2019 and RE4 2023 is a must. Sucks that we have to pay for this option. Modern gaming. At least RE3 2020, as butchered it was, brought back the composer from the original 1999 classic and he did great updates to his tracks.

I dunno, I liked RE2 Remake's music.

Same thing with ladders. I was halfway through climbing a ladder, a cutscene happened, and then after the cutscene finished I was at the bottom of it again and got hit :p

@@Gruntvc I think this game's music is close to the best in the franchise.

Probably because of all the options you have to avoid damage

I absolutely felt the same RE Ashley. I never had a problem with her on OG, and she always ran from engagements, which doesnt look like in in remake 4. AI seems to not understand the basics of how to run past certain areas, or very weird pathing. But because she also reacts to pretty much everything this time around, thats why she doesnt stick to you as closely as you want her to.

Same. I've played both, but the original just has everything working so well together that I love it so much more than the remake, which just doesn't do much for me.

The og RE4 has a lot wrong with it imo now that the remake has kinda opened my eyes up to a lot of how the og fell flat such as the castle not having these super fun areas and it being bloated or the island being ass or hell the game not connecting well at all to the other RE titles. All fixed in the best remake I've ever played

Thing is I discovered the enemy problem was only a thing on hardcore. On standard, it was pretty much a cakewalk. I feel like difficulty balancing wasnt done correctly on higher difficulties. This is a recurring issue as from remake 2 onwards. Been a problem since Re 7 actually if we are being honest. Standard however just isnt too fun for me in how easy it feels.

@desfefe only just saw this. But absolutely. It's been a small issue for these remakes for a while now. I do feel there's circumstances on standard in 4 that get annoying and frustrating when there's so many enemies. But yeah. It's an even bigger issue in harder difficulties. It's always been an issue in these. Hardcore in RE2make enemies are way too spongy. Same for RE4make. Surprisingly with RE3make I feel the game was actually balanced on Hardcore, cause standard felt way too damn easy. Now nightmare and inferno can go straight to hell. 😂

Finally someone gets it.

@@kamii-flow1293 It's like a rail shooter, but you control the rail so it's not much of a rail shooter but still, very rad.

You hit the nail right on the head. Leon is actually snappier and more responsive in the original even with tank controls. The remake has more “modern” controls but Leon just feels clumsy and heavy to control. This can be annoying especially on Professional difficulty with inconsistent staggering + lack of invincibility frames + enemies grabbing you every 2 seconds. Overall, the original RE4 is more fun to play due to its more “arcadey” gameplay.

@@BadAssMacmillan skill issue, og RE4 is just worse RE5 now with how much better 5 played. og RE4 was always never one of a series best like og RE3 was anyways. 4make was such an improvement when it came to... literally everything.

Honestly the whole video is a good review but complaining about the catapult section seems more like him failing the skill check that the game throws at you.

It is tied to gun strength, did you even test it out? The red9 staggers them in 1 sometimes but mostly 2.

You can crouch to avoid grabs and the parry can slice their arms off. The true frustration with unarmed enemies comes from when they stun lock you with punches and then combo right into the grab with no chance to respond.

​@@Guy811 It's different with each difficulty Especially on professional. Professional is just straight up pain.

Skill issue literally just turn 360 degrees and run away if someone is close lol theres lots of space to move around if you look for it i promise!

The different staggering and from what I’ve experienced lack of i frames is only in hardcore or professional

OG in professional didn't deprive you of those things. "Professional mode" only changed the damage you take when struck by the enemies. And in this game it turns them into bullet-sponges.

@@richtersteinberg329 I’m alright with them giving them more health, that’s typically part of increasing difficulty levels anyways in games. As for the staggering it makes it so you can’t just keep getting headshots and kicking, in my opinion taking the whole hardcore aspect out of it

Yeah idk what this guy is on about saying Krauser is worse than in the OG

@@jacobbyers7914 I think he was just talking about his VA, since he sounds like some edgy teenager now instead of a grizzled badass.

His va is worse for sure but I had no fucking idea who he was when I played the original, now i understand that there is a history between the two characters without consulting a wiki

As someone who only played re4 for the first time last year. I definitely prefer this remake krauser. The og one just felt like some stereotypical movie army guy gone rouge

@@Henskelion I personally prefer the new Krauser voice more, but I definitely get why people like the old one. That being said I think it's pretty hard to argue that old Krauser's backstory and motivations are anywhere near as good as what they did with him in the remake. I hope we'll get an Operation Javier remake of sorts to see what he was like back then.

New players forget that iFrames are a thing because it gives the player a defensible tool. which is why for 30 years, games add s when struck; not because it makes it "less realistic", but to aid the players into an unfair situation. The knife on it's own it's a preemptive defense tool. Which is completely nullified if you don't have a knife with you

And the knife can just yknow... break. Relying on parries to save me from shitty enemies who all run faster than me doesn't work if im forced to parry so much I no longer have access to it. Not to mention, there are a great many enemies you simply cannot parry, or parrying them can just outright fuck you over. Ive grown to like the parry, but holy shit people really really are reaching when they act like the parry just nullifies any and all issues with the cheating ass ganados.

I never had the issues you're talking about running through multiple times, so not sure what to say. @@TheOneTrueStAN

Saaame

I think someone mentioned it somewhere, but remaking CV would actually take a lot of talent and effort/work. Remaking a good product is way easier than a flawed one. And you feel it in this one too.

I feel like they could have left out the gathering heads thing in the village cause in my opinion it kinda slows the game down and makes it feel like a fetch quest lol

On hardcore at least, the village section is tedious and really annoying. Ashley almost always gets caught, and you dont have the arsenal to deal with most situations. Once you start the castle, the game becomes more manageable as you have sections which have less enemies, and you definitely have better tools to defend yourself. But it doesnt last forever. Sometimes you will need to use weapons you want to save ammo for (for example the magnum) just because the game will have set pieces that will strip you of all your ammunition. I understand it creates tense encounters, but the original at least allowed you to have freedom on weapons you want to use, whereas the remake makes you feel like you need to scrap by barely with whatever you have. Not sure I actually like this at all...

@@desfefe Resource management is a lot easier on hardcore and professional if you set up your case and charms properly. It's really hard to do if you start off on Hardcore but if its a NG+ run, you can definitely get an advantage on crafting and enemy drops that way.

@@shinzero0271 LOL yeah but problem is that I started on hardcore. I will be honest with you, the whole charm thing I ignored on my first playthrough because I felt like I didnt want to deal with this mini game. I never had much love for it in OG. I dont agree that it should be part of the game mechanics though. It should be optional, or at least give us alternate ways to obtain interesting charms. As for the cases, well I got the resources case because I thought more resources were always better. Although I dont think it was a good idea to have a crafting system in the first place, over just giving the ammo straight away, so I ended up dropping that case for the handgun ammo one eventually. I dont accept that hardcore should be a difficulty option built around NG+ though for it to be fun. OG RE at least was built such that every difficulty option would be fun, and it is just a skill issue. It probably still is the case in the remake, but I dont know, just my experience with the game.

@@desfefe I think its less a skill issue and more of the game making it so that upgrades are actually important. The village Ganado quickly become less of an issue even with some basic pistol upgrades.

Laying your head in a Subway sandwich is not what people mean by the club.

yea it seems like this reviewer wanted to rush through the game and not wait and look for clues like the obvious red barrels next to the catapults

@Nu Merick or maybe he just missed them? It took him 20+ hours to beat the game which to me doesn't sound like he rushed anything

If you blow one up before the cutscene, it comes back. Happened to me.

@@Nu_Merick he literally does it IN the video at 5:00

@@SleepingCocoon Then why whine about it?

Pretty sure Difficulty adjustment effects staggers making it even more inconsistent. The aiming reticle being fully focused also affects shots staggering enemies. Kinda sucks how DA also fucks you over by making enemies almost impossible to focus shot them. The better you are at the game the less rewarding it is to play.

I don't like it when it doesn't make sense, but this time it gives context with the boot camp training flashback and such. Raccoon City was bad enough

That was added later, plus it’s not necessarily p2w since you can have all the tickets without spending money

It’s better as a continuation from RE2R, but it doesn’t do the OG RE4 justice when it comes to pretty much anything that isn’t gameplay

Yes, thank you. This right here, my god I can't stand the stiff character control in every damn game nowadays. FromSoft is the only company that still knows how to prioritise character control.

It's supposed to be "realistic", I guess...

@@XBladenoJutsu From actually does this too, in Elden Ring a perfect 180 will animation lock you very briefly. You're right tho they're not as bad as others

@@Hedgpig Nah, I played all those games. You can walk and immediately press the opposite direction and turn without pause or some weird detour to the side. The only exception is if you run, then try to turn in the same way, then there's a brief pivot animation, but even then, there's a way around it if you rotate the stick manually to avoid the pivot. Not counting the horse btw, which has crap control, although compared to other game's horse controls, it's still better...

@@XBladenoJutsu Oh it's only on sprint? Even less of a problem then, and the only time it was ever an issue was against Malenia's waterfowl which is it's own stupid problem

I wonder how long that will be available, though

@@limabarreto911 I really hope they don't remove it. The new UI has a noticeable impact on performance with older hardware.

I've seen it change twice now

I agree that Leon's character seem less interesting overall compared to OG but that's the price to pay for shifting to a darker and realistic tone.

There is a mod called "Resident Evil 4 Classic Gameplay" in nexusmods that makes the enemies react to bullets similar to the original game. Based on the comments, seems to works very well.

I really don’t get the complaints on Leon being weaker. He’s got PTSD on account of nearly dying in a zombie apocalypse and his one liners are clearly a coping mechanism. If anything OG Leon made no sense for what he went through. Thrown into hell again and Leon sounds like he’s enjoying the entire thing. That logic only works in B movies, which are about spectacle not character development.

I agree, I thought they did a good job when it was all said and done, but I do feel like Leon came off a lot more timid. People have often said things like it would be less realistic if he was just a joke slinging badass and all that but for the most part none of us held RE4 in such high regard for all these years because of how realistic the pyschology of the characters were, if anything the campy tone was a huge part of the charm.... I mean look at the story in the first place, the US presidents daughter is captured and taken hostage in a foreign country and they do what? Send 1 guy with a cool leather jacket and a pistol......by taxi to go save her? We weren't dealing with much realism at all to begin with. Something can be immersive and awesome without having to pass a logical reality check, that's my opinion at least. Glad to see that the game came out as such a polished product though, had a lot of fun playing it.

​@Scatmanseth its been almost 20 years so it might be time for someone to tell you that RE4 (and most RE games before this recent reboot) are essentially B movies made into video games. The original concept behind Resident Evil, the series, was "take 80s American action/horror movies and combine them with flashy Japanese anime tropes" the result is a fantasy swat team with color coded body armor weilding personalized weapons in a MANSION filled with monsters. If that doesn't strike you as B movie, you might need to watch some B movies. This recent shift toward "realism" is a little boring. The writing is all very skin deep and basic, which it always kinda has been in RE games, just now it doesn't have the benifit of being absurd/flashy/funny as much as it used to. OG Leon is memorable because of how cheesily written he is. Almost every line he has in OG is memorable and I can probably recite almost everything he says from memory, even after years without touching the game. I just finished another run of RE4R recently and ngl I cant remember most of Leon's lines. He has some good ones but a LOT of the script is trying way too hard to pile on the melodrama. It has the same energy as a direct to streaming service mid-tier show you watch once, think its decent and move on. New Leon is aight, hes serviceable for the role, but OG is iconic for good reason.

After playing through the game I can say with certainty that adaptive difficulty has no place in higher difficulties. It really is anti skill garbage.

You might be able to get it cheaper then so it sounds like a great idea ngl.

also i had no problem with the catapults

Yeah I agree, but hardcore and up is def a bitch, but there’s a reason for it, it’s supposed to be a challenge.

She runs in front of enemies and bullets a lot more than the original

@@onceyougozach2607 i never had that problem personally, only when shes in the tight formation did she get taken

@@viscount8388 it doesn't happen all the time but it does introduce an element of randomness that wasn't there in the original with the wait and follow command. It can screw you over on professional
