Resident Evil 4: Remake VS. Original Graphics Comparison

Resident Evil 4 set benchmarks back in 2005 on the Gamecube, but with the 2023 remake coming soon, we've pitted both of them head to head for a graphics comparison. From the opening village scene, to Dr. Salvador with his chainsaw, and a lot more! Here's how the Resident Evil 4 Remake compares to the original RE4.

It's not even close to the best resident evil, this remake maybe but if your talking the original Re4, RE Remake is better Re2 Remake is better Re3 Remake is better, Village is better, infact Re4 is probably one of the worst, just gets the hype because most people were introduced to the franchise through the game, doesn't hold up at all, unless you like clunky character controls, quick time events and the colour brown
