I started modding with RE4. A couple of years later, I was showing some mods I made in an interview for a game dev school. I was the only applicant to enter the bachelor's degree course with no formal coding experience/schooling. Today, I'm a game developer. I literally owe my career to RE4. Glad to see it receive the love it deserves. I'm already fiddling with RE4 remake's demo 😊

Loved the Demo, and cannot wait to play this. It's so weird to play this backwards timeline of third person horror games. First Callisto Protocol which was inspired by Dead Space, then played the Dead Space Remake which was inspired by RE4 and now the RE4 remake. So nice to see how games have progressed, or regressed depending on how you look at it.

[@micahpilson9836]

One prominent thing I noticed about the demo is that it makes RE4 in general much more scary. In the original, I always felt like I was given plenty of space between me and the enemies by default, and it was my fault if I let them close in on me. The remake puts everyone up in your face in unexpected ways, constantly. As someone with claustrophobia, this was incredibly effective in the horror department.

Did they remake the ai aswell? Cause I’m the original I don’t remember them running routes to head you of

[@jeremylopez2101]

@@laaa210 Yea they must've. When I play the game, it's actually pretty hard when the enemies start looking for areas to cut you off to trap you in. Best tip for this game is never stop moving, there is no such thing as a safe space.

The original RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time. It was my first M rated title that my father let me play when I was 9 years old. We’d play it together often the year it came out and I always enjoyed watching him play it and unlocking new things in the game. And when he got all the cool stuff he’d let me play so it would be easier with all the unlocks he kept achieving. Eventually, I started my own play through from scratch and it was such a good time and so rewarding to unlock everything the more you replay it. I still play it at least once a year and my most recent play through was on my steam deck. I’m now 26 years old and I absolutely cannot wait for this remake. I’m also eager to show the remake to my father when I visit him. I feel like I’ll probably still prefer the original because of how classic it is, but I know I’m going to have a good time with this one! Awesome review as always!

[@chasemoore1216]

The attention to small details in this game is amazing. Especially love how Leon actually cocks his gun towards the right when the villagers get REALLY close to him. This was the make or break remake for me since I played the original as a kid so I'm so glad that its not a letdown like RE3:Nemesis. Makes me excited for a possible Resident Evil 0 or a Code Veronica remake, Hell even a continuation past 4 and going towards 5 would be great. I just miss the characters like Claire Leon and Chris and hope we continue to see them in the future whether its in new games or remakes.

[@greasy8394]

Too bad you cant kick down doors or shoot through them like you could in the original and sometimes the shotgun is glitched that it feels like its nerfed because you could sometimes shoot a enemy straight in the face and they dont even fly back. I hope they fix it with a patch or something. Also it's weird how theres a lot more destructible environments but for whatever reason the doors are immortal.

I just finished it a couple of days ago and it was an utter blast! Didn’t get to play RE2 remake when it first came out, and so I ordered myself a copy and I’m waiting eagerly for it to arrive.

[@Rosie_Rosebud]

Nah, if you wanna get your heart pounding, I'd get the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis if I were you. I had gotten the disc from my neighbor but, as I found out, the disc was scratched so I got a little ways in before the game broke, but boy was that game creepy asf.😂 It was so much fun.

[@dreistheman7797]

@@andrewwitham8493 For first time 3 players, I thought it was an enjoyable game. I actually liked its balance of horror and action better than the 2 remake.

[@J-Sin]

I'm really interested how they are going to implement the VR version. More specifically, roundhouse kicks. Can't wait to play this in vr, either way! This is the only RE I skipped back in the day

[@HueboMoment]

I imagine the roundhouse will be like RE4VR is now. You just see the character do the move with an action prompt.

[@ruicosta1037]

You skipped 4 and instead played 5 & 6? Talk about bad luck...

[@Iono123]

You’re lying lol… RE fans didn’t skip 4. I bet you weren’t even born yet 🤡

[@AOKComputers]

I love that they're bringing these older titles into the newer era of hardware and graphics, I just wish they'd give RE1 this treatment

[@legit2777]

Zero and code Veronica as well. Pretty sure 5 is confirmed

[@LEWIS1992]

This video leaves me with more questions than answers: 1. WHAT exactly was cut from the original RE4? 2. What doesn't Capcom want us to know about before launch? What are they hiding? 3. Have the console aiming controls been fixed from the demo? (Deadzones, awkward acceleration, etc)?

[@Rikiko722]

I love the expanded colour palette of the village area, having a bit more green and yellow. However, the original's narrower greyish/black/brown palette lends a morbidly severe and horrific tone to the environment. I'm not saying the new art style and graphics ruins the game by any means, but there is something to the original's style and even its original word font that gave it a more horrific feeling.

[@jesusrodriguezcolon8315]

Then again, the original was so "browny" because of the limitations of hardware back then, though the new ish direction is really good because of it

[@fatezero8662]

Yeah I get what you mean, Re 4 og was my first RE game back then and I used to get scared shitless because of how the atmosphere and the hostile environment gets you. But as the game goes, it becomes almost pure action goodness.

[@Rikiko722]

@@jesusrodriguezcolon8315 It is strange how hardware constraints contribute towards a game's overall atmosphere and art direction. I also think the original Ocarina of Time has a moodier atmosphere than the 3DS remake - particularly because of how lighting is represented in darker areas. But it also seems that lower resolutions and frame rates influence the atmosphere in some way. You could argue it's just nostalgia, but taken to the extreme we have 2D pixel art SNES era games, then the initial 3D releases on PS1 and N64, then Gamecube and PS2. That lack of detail and 'blur' force the mind to fill in some of the gaps and make them feel impressionistic. The horse, Agro, in the original Shadow of the Colossus, for example, seems to float more - in a less defined space - as she gallops, evoking a dream-like quality. Don't get me wrong, the remake is fantastic in its own way, as I'm sure RE4 Remake is, but there is something to be said about art direction across eras of hardware improvements. I can't say whether Capcom would have chosen slightly more colour in the original if it was created on superior hardware. But intentional or not, where that lack in frames, clarity and colour lend Shadow of the Colossus a dream-like quality, in RE4 they really made it feel like a nightmare.

[@jesusrodriguezcolon8315]

@@Rikiko722 thats a nice way to put it, while yes, nostalgia contributes to it, it can come down to the direction of the development and colour choices. It's wild how far gaming has come but still retain original elements that makes gaming feel awesome ^^

OG RE4 was the very first game i ever completed fully alone. i grew up with 7 siblings so i only ever got to play when their was co-op [timesplitters 2, hunter: the reckoning]. i was obsessed with this game. bought it on the Wii when i got older and bought it on pc a couple years back. RE4 is THE game for me. What made me a gamer 100%

[@E-Chap]

I actually just played the original for the first time a year or so ago. I'm stoked to dive back in with the remake! It looks incredible.

[@theweaponsmerchant5140]

I have been with this IP from the beginning but really fell in love with it with 4. Maybe so much so that I somehow actually pulled a career out of an obsession with a certain character in game. Playing the demo brought me back to 05 playing 4 for the first time for sure. The infamous village section was just as much of a sweaty skill check now as it was back then. I’m just waiting to see what what they did the the regenerators.

While I’m super excited for RE4 I cannot lie, the fact that RE5 is next up on the timeline makes me excited for a modernized remake of my favourite of the franchise.

[@diobrando6270]

It's not going to be RE5. The next one is code Veronica. RE5 is PS3 game, I don't think it's that far back to warrant a remake

[@vikaskumarpatel5017]

I played Resident Evil 4 in 2008 on a PS2. I reached the village in the beginning and died. I was a new console gamer so it was hard for me to control with a controller. I did the same sequence 5-6 times on different days. I succeeded once and then I played for a while but I don't remember much. I love it so I read some reviews and watched a few videos about it. In 2022, I got the Quest 2 VR version of the game and finished it. Now, I can't wait to play this on PSVR 2.

[@south_sl]

My first survival horror experience with Resident Evil was through VILLAGE. I had seen the movies growing up but wasnt able to play the games. VILLAGE sold me though big time with its Gothic Horror and Macabre feeling. Then I went through RE3R, RE2R, and RE4 OG through the Oculus VR experience which was amazing! Trying out RE5 and RE Remake as well. Cant wait to play this game!

RE4 is the one I played the most. That's because they had the bonus games when you finished it and you could play as other characters like Wesker. I didn't see any mention of bonus games in the new version though...
