GAME SINS Everything WRONG With Resident Evil 4 (2023)

[@the_sam_strong]

The original RE 4 actually explains why Leon was sent to Europe alone with a file regarding Ashley that you can check in your inventory, it says Ashley was kidnap as a result of confidential informations being stolen meaning only someone who works or used to work as a government's operative could have had access to those informations and know with precision Ashley's whereabouts to be able to kidnap her. That's how Leon immediately knew it was Krauser who kidnapped Ashley as soon as he sees him, since Krauser had been his partner when they were in the US Socoms and so he had access to confidential informations. Before knowing that it was Krauser who kidnapped Ashley, the Secret services believed that there was a mole among them and without knowing who to trust they couldn't even be 100% sure of their intelligence's informations about Ashley having been seen in Spain. To avoid sending a whole team to rescue her only to fall into a trap, the president sent Leon, one of the very few agents he trusted completely and also the one who was going to be assigned as her bodyguard right before she was abducted. Leon had to make sure the president's daughter was really in Spain before sending reinforcement to him in case he actually found Ashley. In fact the moment Leon says he found Ashley Hunnigan sends a US helicopter to rescue them both but in the original RE 4 they say the first chopper got shot down before it could reach them. In the remake they just say they couldn't send it immediately cause of the bad weather. Later Hunnigan sends another chopper when Leon is able to inform her on his new location by contacting his base through a radio antenna he finds on the island just so she can tell Mike where to go search for him when she sends a new chopper to help Leon (the scene of Leon contacting his base on the island is completely missing from the remake and Mike just finds Leon on his own somehow, even though he had no clue he was on the island since the last time Leon spoke with Hunnigan he was in the castle).

[@joaolima7131]

Lol, they also have that file in the remake

[@jorch6169]

That last fact about the antenna, where did you see/heard it? Because in the original in that cinematic only Leon is shown trying to communicate, failing in the attempt

Yeah they teach you in the police academy that pulling your gun on someone with a knife who’s around or less than 21 feet away will get you killed.

10:04 - Pesetas were discontinued in Spain in 2002 and this game takes place in 2004, and in a remote, isolated part of Spain, no less. So it's not that unusual. It'd be like complaining someone wants to buy something from you using cash, instead of Bitcoin or Cash App. Even today, pesetas can still be exchanged for Euros at a bank; you just can't buy things with them. Regardless, it's a fictional universe; doesn't matter.

[@centrevezgaming4862]

Your right in the early naughties I went to Spain and the currency was euros not pesetas.

[@Drakus_VII]

Plus the Iluminados might not accept Euros. There are movements that believe the government does not have any actual authority. In germany we have people claiming the German Reich is still the rightful state. Its not farfetched to believe the Iluminados don't accept the authorities and thus still cling to old currency

[@SalvageET]

8:35 Fun fact, in the Japanese dialogue of RE8, Heisenberg calls Chris a gorilla rather than “boulder punching asshole”, which is a homage to the Japanese fans of the series giving Chris the nickname of Gorilla because of how buff he is in RE5. In the English script, this is replaced with the boulder line to align the dialogue with the English-speaking fans’ perception of Chris

[@snowblind9551]

I don't think that's entirely accurate. Modern Resident Evil games are written by Westerners (Antony Johnston, in RE8's case). So it would be more accurate to say the Japanese gorilla line is a translation of the original English boulder punching line, rather than vice versa. Unless I'm missing something.

[@SalvageET]

@@snowblind9551 If the lead writer is an English speaker, you’re probably right, it’d make more sense for the English dialogue to be the original script if that’s the case. I’ll edit the comment to make it more accurate.

I think what it is is that a Japanese writer came up with the story, then the English writer does the script, then that script is translated into Japanese.

[@DumAzzFairy]

They translated their fanservice ❤

[@critik_l]

I hated that line in RE8 because it was so fanservicey. How would Heisenberg even know about his boulder-punching escapades? Did Sheva tell him? I don’t hate that it’s fanservice, I just hate how he somehow knew about it and the fact that he brought it up is only for fanservice.

I imagine after the cutscene, Leon shooed the over shoulder camera away, rushed to the gate to reach for it, yelping, cursing his large biceps

[@personguy6987]

I have a sin I couldn't stop thinking about. In the OG RE 4, Salazar sends the Verdugo down to kill Leon after he avoids impalement and shoots Salazar's tube phone thingy. In the remake, Salazar doesn't actually know that Leon survived falling down the trapdoor spike pit. How then does the Verdugo know to go to the underground facility to kill Leon?

[@defi9903]

"Hey Verdugo, knowing Leon has a tendency to be extremely lucky and survive most things I do to him, can you go check if he's really dead?" Is probably a dialogue between salazar and Verdugo that we don't hear

[@mitleid_en]

I think they're much smarter than you give them credit for. Yes they're stupid when it comes to keeping Ashley captured and letting Leon live (my theory is that Leon would be a valuable assassin under their control so they'd want him alive, as Luis states Saddler's plans are to turn enemies into powerful allies in a text in his lab) but they're smart when it comes to anticipating Leon's potential whereabouts (probably due to Saddler's hivemind connection) and are able to stall for time so much so that Leon barely made it until getting the parasite nuked. It's not unreasonable to suspect that the Verdugo would be sent to the sewers in the off chance that Leon survive the pit fall as that's the only way back to the surface.

I was looking for information on this. I was certain too that what Ashley got was a specific variant of the plagas.

I think the most interesting change to the remake's narrative is how much the war on terrorism effected the original story but is removed here; even though both take place in 2004. In the OG Saddler directly tells Leon his motivation is punishing the United States for trying to police the world. And the idea of Leon being an American action hero storming in to another country and shooting everyone. Even Leon accusing Salazar of terrorism and his sarcastic response and a number of other exchanges show this. Or how the remake does more to humanize the villagers prior to the infection vs just a basic they're a dangerous foreign threat like the original. It's not deep but it is an aspect of it. And the remake does have aspects of Leon being a cliche American action hero but it's not in its DNA nearly as much. You also have Krauser kind of being an agent of American military power (or an American company) and destabilizing other places to find power while now it's a more personal vendetta against the American government. Just interesting how much when something is made effects a story regardless of when it takes place. Las Plagas and the story being (intentionally or unintentionally) a post 9/11 terrorism allegory to just being bent on world domination now for its own sake and just happens to target the American government.

[@Elvisbackpack]

Most of the War on Terror stuff in the original was added in localization and doesn't exist in the Japanese dialogue. Presumably the writer this time around was asked not to include any.

[@mizark3]

I definitely agree with the intro, but here are a couple minor gripes that are or could be explained away. Mendez injecting Leon isn't necessarily done with Luis having a clear vantage point, he could have just appeared to be making sure Leon stayed down before moving them both to the next area. After Del Lago fight when you park the boat, if you look back the boat sank, so you get a new boat at the next dock through the other end of the area you landed at. You've already found a stack of TNT prior to the 2 on 2 fight with Luis, so he easily could have backtracked or otherwise known of or seen another stack. Krauser had already left the US on unsteady ground before he joined Los Illuminados, so he couldn't have infected high ranking members any better than their Ashley plan. Also QTE cutscene fights weren't irritating when they give you a super cool unique death scene and can skip the cutscenes to 2 seconds before the QTE. It was only a problem in like RE5 on Professional where they give you less than half a second to react. Anyways back to the counters. Honestly the speedboat convo being audible is better for simplicity rather than going, 'crap I forgot to turn on subtitles' and not being able to hear them at all, as the volume balance indicates the motor is on, but the conversation is what is important. Overall I liked both as games, but the OG is still better on average for the numerous comparisons you listed among others.

I just finished the game, finally able to watch and then nitpick you. 11:28 you don’t “have to” use the well, you can just go into the house next to the fallen tower, climb the stairs and jump off the roof. Also, the tunnel looked like a natural occurrence when a village digs two wells for the same underground water source, which dried up due to blockage later. 13:36 did they ship her across the Atlantic? 30:05 She was only unguarded because Leon killed all the guards And many others have mentioned, the plagas clearly have different variet that require different processes to take root Ada’s post credit scene: She hears W say a hundred die so one may live, which is quite similar to what Leon said earlier on the boat ride. That’s when she changed her mind.

20:21 Because Ashley didn't lock that door via a bolt, because she didn't use that door. The other entrance to the room is unlocked, and down the stairs outside it is the gate that separated her from Leon. Presumably, she just ran up the stairs and hid in the room.

My sin is that some bosses' pre-introductions are neutered compared to the original. The El Gigante fight. In the original, you had the villagers that feared no death fighting Leon hustling and looking scared bringing the Gigante out. It comes bursting out and starts slaughtering the villagers while the scream in fear. They scream in fear. It took Leon knocking them off a bridge to make them show that kind of emotion and this thing was making the ganados wet themselves immediately. Then they're all dead and Leon does a slick cartwheel dodging the Gigante's grab. That's one hell of an introduction. Second was the Verdugo. I'll say that the REmake did a good job expanding on its backstory and its previous life, but if you played the Remake only, he just came out of nowhere. Did you even know it was the red one?? The original had Salazar throw a tantrum and personally sent the Verdugo to hunt Leon after he survived another attempt to kill him and deafened his ear in the process.

A couple of these "sins" were not sins. The boat that sinks after the Del Lago fight is different than the one Leon uses to travel around the lake afterward. Ada wants Luis' sample because it is the "superior" plaga that doesn't cause its host to become a mindless murder machine. Luis wrote his escape plan in English because 99% of his enemies only speak Spanish. Luis finds dynamite because they are literally in a cave where they are using dynamite to excavate amber. Who says Luis wasn't aiming for Krauser's head ad just missed? Also, if he knew what Krauser was capable of, seeing as he was an ally previously, Luis would know that shooting Krauser in the head would probably do jack shit.

Luis story arc makes complete sense. He worked for umbrella before the raccoon incident when they were a respected company. He created nemesis and other monstrosities in his research. They used his creations to wipe out millions of people. He then ran back home to Spain and found work for a local lab on an island people oppressed for worship an insect (to make himself feel better) Those oppressed people used his discoveries to plot world domination to make “peace” He realized this, found a way to destroy the parasite and then turned to an organization of spies that wanted to stop them, but unbeknownst to him the leader of those people had plans entirely his own (wesker)to wipe out billions to create a new race of super humans. Not exactly a stretch for his character to have done any of those things.

I played OG RE4 way back then and I still love it (I’ve owned 5 different copies since then), I can love this game too. I feel that way too many people are getting caught up on choosing one or the other, hesitant to accept that both games can coexist peacefully in this world.

[@magical_pixie_horse7346]

If you think about it, the reason the ganados keep leaving behind maps and letters is because they assumed that Leon doesn't understand Spanish. While he didn't show it in the original, it's the case for it as well.

[@TheWhiteagle99]

[@noobatron2663]

Also gives weapons like the Red9 and TMP actual reason to use stocks. In the original, the Blacktail's "good handling" just meant you'd be able to aim it around quicker, but this doesn't have tank controls so it wouldn't work with mouse aiming. Honestly the only game I know of where having a laser sight actually makes your aim better, instead of just saying "hey you can hip fire from this weapon now have fun"

[@mitleid_en]

Sin 13 is meant to clarify for the audience what the codenames mean, they're pretty obvious as it is but there are going to be new players who might be confused. After that scene Leon and Hunnigan stick to the codenames and never reveal their real identities for the rest of the game (if you exclude the last scene of the game where Hunnigan finally managed to get in contact with Leon again and calls his name). So I don't think this is really a sin, besides in this remake the Los Illuminados don't seem to have the tech to wiretap the connection like in the OG, I think the only thing they could do was disrupt the signal but then again there probably weren't any towers close by besides in the island. Oh and removing coop from RE5 is a huge mistake. They just need to make it scary but with a partner. D.C Douglas won't ever voice Wesker again after he broke NDA and Japanese companies are big on loyalty and trust so it's safe to say his voice will be put to rest considering he was supposed to be Wesker in this game. 😂

[@LucaBlight25]

I dont think the coop was the problem in RE5, it was mainly the AI (and I dont mean Sheva, too. Chris can also be dumb as bricks if you play as Sheva). I think the parts with Luis in this game were Capcom doing a test run with implementing their new partner A.I. for a possible 5 REmake

[@niemand7811]

I already agree on this PTSD drama. I hated in in RE3 Remake and how they made Jill a drunkard just to be bullied around be Nemesis right on the go. That was a tainted move. And doing this PTSD move again now with Leon? Oh boy. I am glad original RE4 exists after all. Because the camp fire was great and gameplay left nothing open to wish for. Not for what the game is.

[@goodIkarma]

Also another thing. Im not sure if i just missed the part on multiple playthroughs but i think there is a really huge plotpoint where Ramon does send his right Hand, the verdugo, after Leon. But after that his left Hand (the second verdugo) is never to be seen again. In the original he was atleast used to aid Salazar in his Transformation but in the Remake its like the 2nd Verdugo never existed once he recaptured Ashley in the Grand hall. This bugs me so much cause its actually one of the only enemy types that pose any sense of challenge to Leon and makes the game so much better between just mowing down endless humans with cloth robes and wooden shields

[@beingadeeb2345]

​@@NatanCaetano I can argue despite the attempt, Remake feels somewhat less scary than the original. I can list everything. 1. The Morose and foreboding cloudy weather is gone. 2. Trees are still green. 3. What made Dr. Salvador scary was that he was a clean person who does what he is told. He kills Leom quickly in the original but here he is just another Ganado who his OHK. 4. In the room where a Ganado with an Axe ambushes Leon and Luis. In the original, he was anticipated and even Leon was fearing him. Here, he comes out of nowhere and his presence is forgotten. 5. The Dogs have much more exaggerated features making them less scary. 6. Del Lago jumpscare is infinitely worse than the original. 7. For a supposed rainy night, the village is still well lit. In the original, the village turned very dark and grim. Here it just feels like a regular village. 8. That foreboding storm SFX is gone. 9. The Cutscene where the Villagers walked away was somewhat creepy as it showed there is still some humanity left in them. Now the cutscene is replaced by an over the top, almost comedic feeling cutscene in a supposed serious game. 10. The Save Room Ambience also felt somewhat creepy. Like suggesting calm before a storm. 11. The scene where the Giant kills every Ganado was also scary. TBF, the Zealot waking him up is also scary. I wish it was a combination of both. 12. Mendez had transformation cutscene in the original. Now he comes out transformed. 13. The scene where Ganado Ambush Leon and Ashley and cornering them into the castle made much more sense. 14. The Garrador in the original was silent but you still anticipated something was wrong. Here he was active which made it less scary. 15. I don't think this Almost Fantast feeling Castle Wall section was scary. 16. That Novistador SFX of breaking a gate and then walking in the OG was scary. 17. Haven't mentioned it yet, but the removal of Cutscene QTEs also was scary. Except the Krauser one, I am glad it is gone. 18. In the OG, there was a scene where Ganados were performing a Ritual with You Are Dead Music playing in the background is removed. 19. The "Advanced Darkness" in the OG was better than "Full Darkness" of the Remake. 20. The Old Castle ruins was removed. 21. JJ was the least scariest of the minibosses in the original but somehow they made him even less scary. 22. The Whole set up of the Regenerators was perfect in the original. Here, it feels less scary. However, perfection can't be replicated. 23. In scene where Leon rescues Ashley for the last time, that was much much scarier in the original but is less scarier in the remake. The way he shruggs off the Bullets, that creepy smile, the way he slowly follows Leon and Ashley. It was very creepy. 24. And again, him opening his Mouth feels much more scary tha his speach about the Holy Body. 25. And the fight with Ada is quite possibly the scariest moment in the original. Now he feels less generic.

The story of Krauser is kind of sad when you think about it. In the first fight, he would not shut up about the failure of Operation Javier and how all his men except for Leon died. Then in the second fight he says that he is just doing this for power and how it is the only thing that matters in the world, but when fighting his mutated form he will still talk like the loss of his men was his main focus. His want for power came from the feeling of being helpless and powerless to save his team in the jungle, coupled with his own PTSD. Saddler promised him that power he seeked in exchange for servatude. The parasite gave him the strength and power that he wanted, but it cost him his mind. So, by the time the last fight against Krauser happened the parasite started to turn his motivation to a more basic "I want power" motive.

[@juantonio0788]

The plaga suppressant made sense to me. It seems Saddler hired Sera to develop medication against the plaga infection so he could selectively bred a more resistant strain to their "weakness". Sera probably helped because after all the Umbrella shit he felt as though the least he could do is to find out what killed his grandfather and develop medication for it, not knowing Saddler was using him from the get go. So the "suppressant" could be the original cure to the plaga which is now less effective by Saddler's newest subordinate strain. Makes sense because Saddler would know full well modern medicine could easily find a cure to the parasite. Unlike the 1500's where they could have achieved world domination if not for the Salazar family. (which is why they have blue lanterns around the castle).

In the castle they are under attack, not really safe enough to wait for reinforcements and they are waiting on Luis with the cure. Communication with roost fail because their frequencies get jammed.

I mean, removing the co-op from re5 would feel odd to say the least since you will have a worse Luis if you think about it.

The only way the extra inventory even existed was because of the co-op mechanic existing to begin with and removing that part will make it extremely difficult to manage a good inventory in the remake most likely. Although, I do have to agree that they need to bring back Wesker's og voice actor, or use the voice actor that BHVR used for DbD (Dead by Daylight) since I could not tell the difference when Wesker first came out as a killer in that game.

Remove a sun for radio jamming. You can 100% target frequencies. You can righty assume Ada and Krauser are on different frequencies than Leon. Hell, they may be on encrypted sat links given Umbrella’s technology.

[@vaultboya6253]

The only thing I really disagree with you on is re5 needs coop. It makes the game actually playable.

[@zeruszephuros5419]

Right on timeeee!! I just Platinum this game & got all achievements just a few hours ago!!

[@cheesydanishgaming3333]

I’m glad everyone unanimously agrees Krauser is essentially Virgil He sounds like him now and even had the same desire for power

[@endplanets]

12.5 Why is Hunnigan in a unlit and empty room like she is working past closing hours? That place should be overcrowded with dozens of specialists on full alert.

[@G1antPurpleHipp0]

Luis was aiming for Krauser's head. If the knife wasn't in the way, he wouldve hit Krauser

[@martistheartist7494]

With some digging around, Leon can't go back thru the village's first area. You try to open it and it is locked. Now they could always go around that and go into the woods areas because I don't see any way they couldn't go thru surrounding areas besides maybe not trusting the surroundings but still. There is at least an explanation and I feel like if he tried to snoop around more he would have found that as it is in the original since there is text saying they boarded it shut.

[@jecmakes3052]

Loved the remake but not gonna lie, started to play the original after I finished. It will still be the game I always go back to.

[@jorgegraciano1048]

13:05 I know the purpose of the video is being nitpicky, but Leon uses another boat to navigate the Lake after (the one the two Ganados used to dump the policeman body), yours can be seen sunken on the boathouse when you regain control of Leon after the cutscene.

[@frostieschocopop]

Ok, but did Dart ever say if he had an editor or not? Because his intros are always A+++

[@togeproductions6013]

Yes, he has said that he works with an animator or something like that (i dont know what it’s called) for the intros

[@Rune_Storm]

Thanks, I'm the one who makes all those intros (and thumbnails), Dartigan edits the main part of the video himself though.

[@frostieschocopop]

@@Rune_Storm Love your work! Yeah, I know that he edits the main part itself because he mentions it a lot on stream. But I was wondering if the intros were his too.

[@RustinRoark]

Have had a great time with all the RE remakes and Dartigan's critiques, how rare to find so much satisfaction nowadays....

[@pyxl666]

16:20 What's preventing Leon from backtracking? The horde of ganados that they just escaped from. Unlike the original game, they don't just stop and go away. Leon, Ashley, and Luis run away from them and lock themselves off from them. You may ask why Leon didn't just take Ashley back to the road he started on right after getting her from the Church? And the answer there is that Leon thought he'd be extracted from the house.

[@abelblue7301]

I still didn't like how they softened the intensity of the escape sequence in the remake compared to the original. This one between Leon and Ada was less hostile and tense than in the original. Also, do think you can have time to do MK11 Aftermath? I'm itching to see what you think of the additional story.

[@DarkAttackYT]

I actually loved the sequence in the remake better because I am sick of Leon simping for Ada. She doesn't deserve him.

[@joeb632]

20:26 When we last see Ashley, she ran to the left, directly to the room we find her in. She would've encountered no enemies

[@kleides]

I miss having laser sights on every weapon excluding sniper rifles and the RPG
