Bawkbasoup Finally Reviews Resident Evil 4 Remake

[@joecal77]

As a PS4 player, I really enjoyed the game. Both the original and remake were awesome, and i'm glad it exists.

[@MrAnimason]

I think I want an overhauled Mercenaries mode more than anything. More maps and more characters, especially the Merchant. I feel like his body proportions are reasonable enough to make a working character off of.

[@cyrusthegreat3299]

U want? Oh, ok then. Lol

[@AydarBMSTU]

Mercenaries is a walk in the park. Gets boring quickly. And you get a score even if you die? What is this shite?

10/10 because you’re scared to have an actual opinion; in which it’s not from you but other people saying the same shit. No matter the damn flaw the game has, you people will always rate it a 10/10. It’s like those Elden Ring fanboys. For me, I refuse to play RE4 Remake. I refuse to follow the dic*hard Leon fanboys and agree it’s a 10/10. Plus I’ve been playing RE4 since it was releases on Gamecube back in 2005.

[@oladjiwhite273]

RE4 VR had in my opinion the best mercenaries mode out of any game in the franchise. The 20 unique challenges were so much fun and some actually really hard. And the fact that is was VR made you feel like you were actually and physically overcoming these against all odds scenarios in each set piece. I remember celebrating like a fool when I finally 5 starred the "Time Rush" challenge as Ada. Additionally having actual unlockables tied to it was a super sweet bonus. Also idk if this is a hot take but I really loved RE6 mercenaries. The more action/ combat centric movement system really made sense for mercenaries in that game. And the fact that it was multiplayer was icing on the zombie slayer cake! Super fond memories playing it with my best friend years ago.

[@QMMarc]

About the difficulty and economy and etc, I have a theory that a lot of people were re-playing 4 before release and then had a hard time adapting to the new paradigms RE4R offers. The best example is the inability to get used to the stagger, the only way that that's annoying is if someone forgets that they can move and shoot at the same time, meaning you can start shooting from affar while closing the gap as you hit the weakpoints, if it was a consistent thing the game would be baby easy as proven by mods that I played, it removed most of the difficulty, you can argue then that it's artificial, sure, but it's not like you don't do damage and stagger them anyway. Paired with changing your weapons quickly, the stealth to even the odds to the utility of the knife, you have SO MUCH more than OG RE4. But you have to RE-LEARN it, you can't expect it to play the same and get away with the same strategies, so a lot of people replaying 4 waiting for the remake got muscle memory for something that'd be useless for the remake, and maybe were slow to adapt, making the game harder. Like, you can't knife stagger 5 dudes in the ground in 4make to save up 40 bullets, sure, that sounds harder, but also, you can perfect parry an enemy, kick them, and finish them off with a knife that's kinda cheap to repair even on harder difficulties, multiple times saving about the same amount, but you have to learn, curb your past muscle memory or perish.

[@RandalfElVikingo]

This is a weird remake because RE4 stills hold by today's standards and it did not needed a remake in the traditional sense of improving the game or anything like it, it is basically a retelling of the original. Both stories are great, but Remake has the edge by adding more deep to the characters and the lore, even if I did not like some changes like Krauser not working for Wesker.

[@Zeon081]

@@RandalfElVikingo it does not hold by modern standards, it looks like it does, but it just does not. It's like playing a game from early 90s and be like "yeah, I can play it just fine, so it holds up", but it's just you who got used to all the outdated mechanics. I say it as someone who plays games from the 80s and enjoys them.

[@evolvedcockroach9046]

@@Zeon081 What makes the mechanics outdated exactly? And are modern standards actually good? Because I find myself not enjoying most video games that come out do today, and I keep going back to older games (even games that I never played before, so nostalgia doesn’t play a role here). I prefer the controls of the original RE4 because they are more snappy and responsive, while I think the remake’s controls are a bit clumsy even though they are more “modern”. So which game has better controls? I also think the gunplay in the original is more satisfying, but again the gunplay in the remake is more “modern”, but is it actually better?

[@Darkside_450]

@@evolvedcockroach9046 The original have tank control which are consider outdated and also OG RE4 is just way easier than the remake (It's also one the easier Resident Evil compare to the old games) so you probably thing the Remake is clunky because the game ask you more from you then just stop, aim, shoot, melee, and repeat, the remake ask your more from you and you probably got overwhelmed

[@InsaneCarverUpqik]

people say there was no U3 but there was you just only see him once and never fight him XD at least thats what a note implied that the other verdugo is U3, and i think you never see him again because he was sent after Ada in the remake

[@MariusBoss11458]

The Persona Community and the Resident Evil Community share one thing. For Persona 3 Reload. A DLC that many people didn't like won't be there and now they're mad that it isn't there. And for RE4R, People are mad that U3 isn't here. Even though many people have said that the boss sucks. Don't really understand these people. Now they can argue by saying that they can fix the issues that the boss/DLC had but what if the devs keep em the same? People will just keep complaining.

[@theimperialzone]

And plus, didn't everyone hate U3? I did. The first section over the bottomless pit was cool but the actual fight goes on for way too long because U3 is a bullet sponge. On my first playthrough he forced me to use up all my magnum and shotgun ammo, and a lot of my handgun ammo.

[@InsaneCarverUpqik]

I will never agree with rating a game system because of speedrunning...that's not the target audience of the game and the devs don't balance or make the game around it. Whatever issues there are because of speedrunning like too many enemies or bullshit moments are on you.

[@ShimmerScarlet]

Eh, usually I'd agree, but RE games have had time-related rankings and rewards since the beginning, so balancing them around both casuals and speedrunners is important

What a comment section. KZbin am I right?

[@MariusBoss11458]

To make yourself feel better. Always remember: They vomit when they hear the words: "Go Outside" "Touch Grass" I watched Maximilian Dood play FF7 Ever Crisis and Chat was shitting on it. Then he said that the game was meant to be played when you're outside, when you're on a train or a bus going to work and stuff. Then a comment said "Go... Outside...?" That just made me feel a lot better and get why people are acting like this.

[@AydarBMSTU]

What a shite takes video. KZbin am I right?

[@shelbyherring92]

I 'd say this as I did with RE8 Village: Like 75% of the game is really great, about 15% is good, and the rest could've been better/expanded upon... But what we got overall was great. Solid 9/10 for me. At least the rifles aren't bugged out. Though I do agree, while a one-hit death difficulty is not my thing, I can see why it should be there for veterans and the hardcore crowd. Accessibility is a double edged sword.

[@Atrahasis7]

The reason they dont do that anymore bawk to extend the replayability of some franchises, is that they want to you to consume the next product. RE is their spike in sales the game they need to show their graphs to suits. Other games like say monster hunter can and do have more content crammed in. However modders can save the day.

[@yourdad1367]

I was today’s years old when I realized Bawk and Carcinogen had some type of beef at one point. Interesting. Anyways, great review. I pretty much agree with every last bit of it.

[@dc8836]

I've seen occasional side comments or something involving Carci while watching other horror streamers, and I noticed that he mostly stopped appearing on the couch (or vice versa) or stopping in to say hello during streams or at events. Must be some beef going on, but I figure that's all their own personal business. The people involved will tell the public if they feel it's important for them to know. But since they haven't, it's probably just some relatively minor personal disagreement type stuff, not the kind of thing you need to make public.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if capcom made a randomizer for RE4, wouldn't it be way more susceptible to bugs and crashing? AND REMAKE OUTBREAK!!

[@Darkmage1293]

Omitting U3 AND the radio banter between Leon and Salazar/Saddler are my biggest gripes. Saddler is engaged too late to be invested in his douchebaggery, and I just kind of loved how smug Salazar kept being until you finally pushed him to use "His Right Hand." Weapons, the new CQBR is kind of a letdown. Its a powerful weapon but it just doesnt need to be, the ammo resource is too high to justify it over the Stingray. The MP5 is cool at least, good sidegrade to the TMP. All the Pistols are fair and extremely balanced for personal tastes Matilda probably being the worst for damage. The Striker just feels nerfed, I ran a test against Salazar and it just outright didnt perform as well with the base shotgun or the king Riot Gun. Case shells and charms are cool, but a little too limited for the shells to be useful, and having it be a Gatcha for the latter is tedious, grinds the game to a halt to repeat the gun game over and over and over, PRAYING you get the last ones you need. As far as Mercenaries go, I kind of like it but hate that they capped it off with a set number of enemies. It also needs rebalancing as Hunk is BUSTED with infinite ammo, clearly too powerful along with his instant kill necksnap (which lacks punch and is a little too slow).

[@katothewolf8331]

I had to post this here after watching your other video going through the comments, I hope u see it. I really enjoyed this video, was pretty funny to watch but I'll put my issues and positives about the game here just for the fun of it. so, I think my main issues come down to the micro transactions (treasure map, tickets, charm, case and the 2 guns) all those things could've been rewards for the main game and especially mercenaries since that mode has a fake reward, they can keep the skins for the deluxe edition of the game though, I have no issues with that but things that alter the game and that give u an advantage in anyway should not be purchasable with real money. but besides that, and the lack of controller settings to adjust dead zones and a few other controller only issues this game has it was so fucking good! absolutely perfect, I wish I could experience it all over again for the first time. I gave dead space remake a 10 and I'll probably give re4r a 9 because of those smallish issues, dead space remake on controller is the gold standard every game should strive to feel like, its perfect in every way when u lower the dead zone. love your vids, hope u read this and agree with me, not like those braindead clown comments xD

[@dc8836]

Village of Shadows is pretty much perfect as an NG+ difficulty for most players, and it's a nice challenge as an NG game for expert players. That extra step up, above Hardcore, was the one thing I think RE2R was lacking, and I was glad to see the inclusion of Inferno mode for RE3R. I think it's fine to have that uber tough setting as long as there's a pop-up or something telling players that it's *really* not intended for a first-time playthrough. If someone clicks through that anyway, then they don't get to complain about it being too hard.

Some of the casting decisions for main characters were questionable to say the least. The main perpetrator being Ada of course, but as Bawk said Krauser didn't feel right at first, and the VA they have for Wesker sounds so bland compared to how we expect him to sound.

[@ens0246]

Leon was good but his characterisation was shoddy. In the original he knows Luis is crooked. In the remake he's like "omg the girl?! You know about her?!" They made him much less intelligent. All the other casting is questionable. A lot of the dialogue was flat. Nothing memorable and no chemistry between characters. They didn't really feel like they were interacting. It's the fault of both writing and delivery. Krauser sounded like a teenager trying to do a grizzled commando impression. For such a long game we don't actually see much of the personalities of the characters. It's not that it's total trash. It's that it's good but misses the mark in some really crucial ways for me that makes me wonder how you can make such mistakes. Leaving me frustrated.

Glad you enjoyed it Bawk, but for me it was a slog to play. Aside from the knife parry it just felt like almost everything it did, it did to an inferior level than the original.

[@Klemkee]

My hot take is that overall the knife/parry elements made the combat solid, the characterization of all the secondary characters was better, but Wesker's VA felt miscast, I wish the original VA was doing the remake version. And I like Remake Ada's VA over the original, though it took awhile for her to grow on me. Remake Ada has this quality where it's very clear she's put up lots of walls but has a personality and sense of humor, whereas OG Ada (even in 2make) always sounded like Generic Sexy Anime Lady. Just my opinion. And the OG RE4 had better/more death animations and generally just a little bit more personality overall. They don't even melt Leon's head in the remake, that's bullshit. Overall very solid remake, on par with 2make as opposed to 3make. And the music is much better in the original.

As a fan since 1996 I can honestly say this is a great remake...BUT!...Its not as good as the original. I prefer Leon in this than the original though. Seems more disturbed and you can feel his trauma whereas the original he seemed too cocky and comfortable facing the situation.

I didn't enjoy RE4 2023 very much TBH. I especially disliked the gameplay/controls.

Such a downgrade when compared to the precise and snappy controls of RE4.

[@dc8836]

RE3R would have been a lot better received if it was $40 MSRP instead of $60, I think. You'd still have the sections of the original missing, but I think it would have been more accepted if it wasn't priced the same as RE2R despite that game being considerably longer and more complex.

[@onceyougozach2607]

@LeepeNipe32 generally the original game had I frames on any actions where you couldn't control Leon. Melee animations, ledges and ladders, recovery animation after being hit or knocked down, etc. Obviously the philosophy there is not punishing the player during animations that they can't cancel. If you don't like that that's fine but don't act like it's some mysterious oversight that ruins the game, the philosophy there is pretty sound and most people don't play the game abusing s like that and realistically there's not that many spots where you even climb ladders.

How do we make them make Resident Evil a zombie series again? Because if you talk to a random person about it, even they know its a zombie series. So why TF are we putting up with and accepting of games after they dropped what RE is known for? Zombies and monsters.... Wtf is with the sexual "mommy" vampire BS, sad fish dude, magneto, and other weird ass BS were getting? 4 is where it fucked up, i feel like they did a decent job though story/yheme wise. However, they still just dropped Umbrella, and we get no real conclusion to that. Which is what i was hopping the remakes would do, rewrite all the wrongs. But no.... We will never see that And forever put up with confusion and fighting as the "fan base" grows. If you can even call it a fan base anymore, its so divided and weird. And FULL of actual weirdos. Hence the oversexualized RE stuff we get now... Its just weird, yet theyre trying to now not be like that with 4? Wtf lol edit: I also agree the castle was the best part of RE4 little bit of everything play style wise. They really need to use more semi open world environments, I feel like that is where Resident evil shines the best. Village sucked, but the map for 7 was pretty good in my opinion. If they made it larger, and an actual Resident Evil game, not an Evil Dead rip off Edit 2: I will not be nice, if you come saying something really dumb. I don't have the patience for it anymore.

[@skinnycorprus]

Praying we get normal zombie games from them again, they have so much potential. It would have been amazing if they had used the remakes as a different timeline to correct their mistakes. They kind of bit the bullet already by making 7, and 8, and that was a BIG bullet. I don't think they can ever recover from that. Resident Evil is doomed. They already shot themselves in the foot with 4, so then they decided to remake it, just slightly different, hoping people would think its better. It is not. Umbrella is still suddenly "the bad guys are gone now", so we got to go fight crazy village people under mind control. A very well done game, a horrible Resident Evil game. It basically starts out like "remember that awesome stuff you loved? its gone now, we are doing something entirely different now, with barely any explanation."

[@melon1522]

Agreed 100% with everything you said. The whole damn thing. "If you can even call it a fan base anymore, its so divided and weird. And FULL of actual weirdos. Hence the oversexualized RE stuff we get now..." SERIOUSLYYY... Stay OFF Twitter if you want to feel okay about this fanbase.

[@DoubleU555]

I liked 7, the idea of different bioweapon company having new take on BOW seemed interesting, and the gameplay was refreshing. 8 however is the most meh out of all mainline entries, story and gameplay wise. I imagine it would sell worse than REmake 3 if not for all that free marketing from people who have hard-on for that one boss character. It is frankly amazing how not fun the game is with all those things they borrowed from RE4. Not to mention they removed lots of mechanics that made RE7 good.

I think music is lacking a lot and sure randomizer content would be so much fun! Also, imo, rooms are too small, it's too minimalistic to me. Also I hate that Leon can't crouch if I hold shift while I run. Like E works only when Shift is released. It made sooo many angry and goofy Krauser moments bro. Everything else is perfect, Capcom did AMAZING job! I couldn't stop playing this game for months and I absolutely love it! Waiting for Separate Ways and this game restored my faith in modern gaming.

[@go_better]

@LeepeNipe32 in a lot of areas there is no music at all, especially compared to relevant ones in original. In village, and especially in castle there used to be scary ambients that add a lot to atmosphere. And also, safe room music is gone now. Typewriter theme is a lot more quiet now, I don't know the definitions, but has less melody if you know what I mean. You can compare them.

@@onceyougozach2607 I think it's either the current style direction of REs or general Marvelization of everything. There was a vid about soundtracks in MCU, that there are no rememberable bangers. And it's a corporate thing. But that's my thoughts, maybe I'm wrong.

I've kind of been holding off on RE4R because... I didn't think the game really needed a remake? I've had that same thought while playing Dead Space remake - like, did this *really* need a remake? Or is this just the corporation milking a known, safe IP for free money for a new console generation? RE4R looks like an improvement over the original in most respects, so it's not like it's a shameless cash grab but... I dunno. Compared to RE2R and RE3R, which both deviated from the originals in important ways (for better or worse), RE4R feels much less innovative. I definitely would have preferred another game in the series get the resources and investment instead of RE4 - Outbreak and CODE Veronica are the usual suspects. If you've played Dead Space remake, would you say it's about the same? Dead Space remake made some characters better, others considerably worse (poor Hammond), and gameplay is overall generally improved. But it feels *unnecessary.* Just give it a nice remaster with upgraded postprocessing and good 4K textures or something. Thanks for the video, Bawk!

[@Goomyx1492]

A whole console generation separated original RE4 and Original Dead Space. Only 3 years sure, but it’s still comparing a PS2 /GameCube game with an Xbox 360 game. There was way more potential in remaking RE4 than Dead Space.

[@dc8836]

@@Goomyx1492 I don't see why they couldn't have just ported it like they've done before. A remake is a serious investment of cash and personnel, compared to just simply porting a game, which is something that can often be outsourced. The only reason you'd remake RE4 over much more dated games in the series is simple greed - you know it's going to make you a lot of money. I expect EA greenlit Dead Space remake for the same reasons. I don't doubt they'll probably remake DS2 next, but DS2 is even less in need of a remake than was RE4. It doesn't have RE4's clunky controls, and it even still looks pretty good on modern hardware.

[@zazombiezmasher0116]

In what way is RE3R more innovative than RE4R? We are not gonna start calling RE3R innovative cause it’s literally not what innovative means, to be innovative means you have to bring new methods to the table, which are either advancements or original, when RE3R is the definition of a safe remake, considering it’s absolutely half assed with barely any effort put into it, there is a whole other half of the game that just isn’t in RE3R cause they cut corners the whole time, reusing every asset from RE2R they could, without even a quarter of the love and care put into it,. Not to mention that remaking RE4 was literally the most unsafe decision they could have made after RE3R, literally everyone wasn’t expecting it to be good till they showed off actual good gameplay of it so let’s not act like it was safe at all, none of Capcoms remakes have been “safe” at all, the director for RE2R had to beg Capcom for what was it? 2 years straight? To remake RE2, so that wasn’t safe at all, and capcom absolutely knew that no one would like RE3R due to how half assed it was, so that wasn’t safe at all, a safe remake would be remaking a game like Dino Crisis at this point, or remaking RE5/6 next, those would be safe remakes cause there’s so much to improve upon without running the chance of pissing half the player base off due to the creative differences. Not to mention I can’t stand how people suck off RE4, people love to look back on RE4 like it’s this golden grail, “the perfect resident evil game” when it’s not, and people really do need to take off the nostalgia goggles, U4 is a frustrating boss that isn’t fun to fight or run from, and the maze section against it absolutely ruins that part of the game. Not to mention that the last third of RE4 is such a huge slog that I was actually hoping they were gonna remove it from the remake, luckily they did nothing but improve on not only its implementation but the section as a whole. The removal of the quick time events aside from active gameplay dodging is also a huge plus over the original, which reeks of its of the time norm of QTEs being in everything around that time. While some things like the puzzles could have been better in RE4R, I have no real want nor reason to go back and play RE4 even though I have mad nostalgia for that game, it was my first RE game and it holds a special place in my heart, as I’m sure it does most people that are weirdly pissy about RE4R, the difference is that I can recognized when I’m being blinded by nostalgia, and I also don’t use the nostalgia as a talking point when arguing for or against a new thing

[@zazombiezmasher0116]

⁠@@dc8836 thing is people wouldn’t have wanted a DS remaster cause the original doesn’t hold up when put under some actual scrutiny, the zero-g sections in the OG Dead Space are fucking laughably bad, and that by itself warrants a remaster imo, I was so excited to play the OG DS when I got my Xbox one and stopped during the 3rd pure zero-g section or one that focused heavily on a puzzle in zero-g, which whether you liked how limiting the zero-g in the OG Dead Space felt, it didn’t make sense inside the games universe and it felt bad to play in real life, and while the original has some damn good audio I feel the remake just beats it in every single aspect. Tbf though this very well could be my reverse Crowbcat moment where I might have had the audio just too loud because I couldn’t stop getting headaches while playing the original Dead Space, everything felt just way to loud no matter what I didn’t to the ingame setting or to my consoles settings (played with headphones, BOSE wireless gaming headset wired to the controller to be exact) which really hampered the enjoyment of the OG for me, I just feel like the remakes audio sounds better, not to mention every single one of the cutscene additions felt great to watch cause the fear is so palpable during them, due to Issac actually speaking in this one, which also really really helps with immersion

[@dc8836]

@@zazombiezmasher0116 DS remake does improve over the original in a lot of ways and it's a great game, but I don't really see it as necessary. The zero-G sections are fine. They aren't as good as they became in DS2, but they function just fine.

I don't know Bawk if you know idi4300's channel, I came across this channel through one of CarcinogenCDA's videos. Carcinogen said that he did not feel the game at all and did not enjoy playing it, due to inconsistencies and many underdeveloped mechanics. Idi4300 bluntly scores RE4 Remake as the worst game he's ever played, showing broken mechanics and bugs, including the script and characters (which is less important). He describes the game as an unfinished pre-alpha and the new Capcom from the post-RE7 era as bunglers and losers. Interestingly, he also mentions you as an example of an ignorant person who, through his reach, confuses people's heads by promoting this "crap". Perhaps some of you know this channel, there are a lot of broken mechanics shown in detail. I say this because as a casual I had a great time playing this game, even though I died hundreds of times. However, people like carci or this idi4300, so people trying to beat RE games at their highest difficulties No Damage, define RE4 remake as terrible shit compared to the original and people who play it as retards that will praise whatever Capcom is gonna give them.

[@DENIS_Biomech]

RE4make is the first Resident Evil game I bought since RE: REV2, and it's probably the last Capcom game I ever buy. Purchasing a deluxe edition of this awful game at full price taught me not to listen to reviews. All reviewers who I trusted told me it was 10/10 and the best game ever produced. Well, if this game is Capcom at their best, I sure don’t deserve them at their worst. I never in my life played a game with worse shooting mechanics. This game forces you to stand still and not move your crosshairs to increase your accuracy, which is insane considering how aggressive the enemies are. Also Red9 is now the worst handgun with horrible fire rate and accuracy, quite dreadful, considering how much I love historical weapons like Mauser C96. Laser-friendly weapons, Blacktail, Riot Gun and Snipers are the only viable guns for a professional run. S-ranking all the target practice stages is beyond miserable, because of how unreasonably slow bullet travel speed is, these bullets are slower than in Max Payne, and in that game bullets were slowed down to unrealistic speeds so that you can see them in bullet time. Again, not moving your crosshairs to increase accuracy and as soon as you move it losing all “focus” might be the worst mechanic I’ve seen in a third-person game.
