[@Daigon95]

Which is kinda funny how the development of the original went through like 4 or 5 builds and nearly all of them being tossed out. Ending up creating 3 new IPs. So with an even shorter deadline due to them not knowing wht to do with the game. They just wrote the overall layout of the story's script within 3 days, threw in some ideas pulled from prev builds and just slapped them all together. lol Pretty impressive and amusing how some of the beloved games just come from a "Fuck it" attitude.

[@Wr41thgu4rd]

The story isn't anything to bat an eyelash at. That why the new titles are still so meh. Gameplay is what Resident Evil has always been about. The survival horror feeling you get which was destroyed by 4. $ and onwards could be titles under a different or new ip and it wouldn't have made a difference. They are just generic over the shoulder action games now which there are a million. 4 only did well because it was a pioneer into that style of play. Something based on fixed camera would be nice, we haven't had anything like that in forever. The level of horror they could manufacture with todays tech would be unimaginable.

If she got grabbed, she could use the knife to temporarily stun the enemy and get away. This, of course, would completely deplete the knife's durability. It's not a big deal that they didn't include it, but I think it would've been a nice mechanic and would've made sense for Leon to give Ashley a weapon to defend herself (and it makes more sense than giving her a gun).

Don't get me wrong, the Remake did an outstanding job with every setting, everything looks like a picture and all, but I loved how in the original everything looks and feels... dead. I don't know if this was intentional, but there's something about those sepia-like colors that make me feel like it's more coherent with the setting, at least in the Village. It brings you down, and makes you feel hopeless, or at edge. I honestly think that while the Remake is excellent, and this may sound weird, but it doesn't do anything for me!

The RPG room and cage room in the castle level were areas i was worried about in the remake, i like them but those rooms would've been quite a challenge with how the remake plays. Overall i really enjoyed the remake and i can always go back to the updated classic. The first thing i did playing the remake was to replace the new ost with the classic, the evil malaise soundtrack just fit so damn good during the sections it played at. Played through it on hardcore and have to say, it feels like they've made ammo less common despite the gunpowder and resources to craft some. The classic strategy didn't work out as great as in the original and i even had to sell guns and try different ones. The room at 25:12 was hard due to ammo.

[@BlakeAter]

Think the "poverty" system still applies from the original. So if you have surplus ammo the game is more likely to give you ptas instead of ammo. Not sure if the REmake engine counts gunpowder and resources too. So might be better to break barrels/pots/boxes when you're actually strapped for ammo or store/sell the weapon you hardly use to increase the chances for needed ammo of the weapon type. There's definitely guaranteed spawn types too just like how it was in the Original so can plan/hoard around those.

If you havent yet. I highly recommend the VR version on oculous. Its hands down the best version of the games. Its incredible the amount of effort they put into it.

[@cosmicbilly]

I played re4 so much on GameCube. Countless hours. I just started the remake 2 days ago and just got to the castle. I am enjoying it alot, but feel like its missing some of the charm and horror from the original. Especially the village after you first meet ashley, the darkness and suspense of that area used to scare the crap out of me. And then the gondola ride before the big cheese boss fight. I was kind of bummed out that wasnt in the game. The fortress area after the cabin fight was different too, but it wasnt horrible by any means. With all of that said, the improvements in the remake are really good and i am glad i am playing it. Brings back so many childhood memories.

[@leonkennedy3398]

lol remake is far better bro

[@cosmicbilly]

@@leonkennedy3398 I agree, for the most part. Some things were done better in the remake, but also some things were done better in the original. But I just don't see the point in your comment at all. It's not a competition. Just curious, how old were you when the original came out? I could see if you played the remake first, then the original, it would make the original feel super bad. But as someone who's played 100s of hours between both, they both have their pros and cons.

The camera focusing on where Leon is facing is more logical, more realistic, and those overall add to the immersion. It makes the threat real, because if you glance behind to look over your shoulder, you are exposing your back again.

[@Jordan-ob7nz]

Love the remake. I think the only thing I can quibble with is the visual palette for the village levels. There was something about the original village's aesthetics that was more haunting. All the trees in the forest were entirely withering and leafless, the ground was blanketed in dead leaves, and you had drab lightbrown colors everywhere. There was a stronger and more oppressive sense of decay.

[@dimension-ji7xk]

Going through those woods at the beginning was my favorite part of the game I always wished that it wasn't so short and that it would take longer to get through.

[@meatwagonx33]

That’s called nostalgia

[@Haryad-11]

Well it's a remake not a remaster why would they do this just because you want your nostalgia back the remake graphics is darker to make it look scary, the OG graphics looks like a filter everything is brown or yellow it looks terrible

[@Jordan-ob7nz]

@@Haryad-11 lol. It is not a demand for them to change it back, calm down bro. I'm expressing a gentle personal preference. I also wrote quibble for a reason, the dark forest vibe is cool too. Yes, they don't have to keep it 1:1 in a remake but you do know this argument works both ways? Yes, duh OG 2005 graphics doesn't hold up anymore. Give me a 100-man studio to recreate the old vibe and then we'll beef about which vibe works better in the remake.

[@mechanicalpants]

This was cool 👍 I would love to see a comparison with this brand new official AAA remake and the RE4HD Project mod that was released a few years back for the original PC version. It's an incredible achievement in modding (better than most professional HD remakes ever made) and I think it looks very modern and sooo much closer to the new game, compared to Capcoms original "HD" PC effort that you compare here. With the bonus of keeping all the original game play, controls and original script intact. Totally preserving the original feel that made it a classic/masterpiece, plus it still includes all the cheesy stuff! 😅

[@trythisnametoo]

I don’t know what it is but the original sound design just holds such a special place in my heart. I loved the ending credits with the hand drawn images of the villagers before Salazar and the melancholy music. Love that there is an option to revert to the original music/sfx in the remake☺️

[@insomanywords]

Great job! Thank you for your time and effort! I still prefer the original with all its charm, the wit and the puzzles! 😊

[@matthewzang6688]

That’s strange, considering that the remake has more puzzles than the original by far. I personally prefer the remake, thanks to the new parry system, expanded gun range, stealth mechanics, new treasure combining system, new gore system, side quests, and more fleshed out characters/ story. To each their own!

[@soybajo-kira8585]

It’s amazing how faithful the remake is even allowing you to use the og sound effects. I also like that U3 was saved for Separate Ways with Ada as it makes more sense for her to be jumping through lasers

[@xmaxim99x]

Can people please be honest about this "remake"? It was a 75% graphics upgrade, with a few additions/removals/move-arounds to the map. Sure, I had fun playing this game again. But that's exactly what it felt like, like I was re-playing the same game as before with some minor improvements. Everyone is treating this like it's one of the best games ever made. So I'm assuming there's a good chance many of those people have either never played the entire original game or haven't played it at all.

[@THISisMADDNES69]

I wish they kept more of the original castle gameplay and the removed boss battle. Otherwise the remake was fantastic.

[@BUGHUNTER6]

I guess it would have been nice if Ashley could, I don't know, throw a brick like Ellie in TLOU or something to get you out of a dire situation, but honestly she's usually the target. So I really see no issue in how she gets captured a lot, that's the whole point after all

[@BlakeAter]

She throws lamps at certain enemies at one point. There's a few notable interactions here and there but honestly, compared to the original IMO she's not out that often to complain about. Also Ellie is a kid that grew up in an apocalyptic world while Ashley is just a typical Civilian and the president's daughter (so probably pampered/spoon-fed with no combat experience).

[@BUGHUNTER6]

[@roofkorean6948]

Graphics are great, controls feel better and the knife parry ability is cool, but other than that it's a soulless remake/remilk that took away the charm that made the original special and made way too many unnecessary changes. Also, them saying "not cut content, only reworked areas and additional areas" was a total lie. I wish I could refund it but it's too late.

[@jamessilva1259]

Both the original, and remake, I believe did escort missions justice. Even in the basic RE4 Ashley does her best to stay behind you, and even ducks if you aim a weapon towards her direction. Most games that have escorts. The rescued hostage usually has a bad habit of the following, NOT keeping while running, blocks doors, and worst of all get get right in your face and get in the way when you need to attack or fire weapon. RE4 Never really had that problem. While I do agree the remake improved it. Remember, in the old, you can make Ashley hide in a dumpster. Until the fight is over! Lol

[@kamadibalachandra4000]

Hands down original RE4 is in a league of it own man it was released 13 times and has been a hit it made a memorable and terrific days to many me included and the only reason Remake was a hit was because it is still similar and stick to the original if this was designed different like RE3 REMAKE it would have been a disaster.
