“Not a soul in sight.” -Ada in the RE4R SW DLC. Can’t believe she was a crowbcat fan the whole time.

[@matias1278]

One of the things i really liked about the remake is how they make leon look tired or anxious plenty of times, instead of being an action movie protagonist like in the OG. Examples: When they cage leon in the castle to kidnap Ashley. When you rescue Ashley in the island

[@watchmehope6560]

Yeah I like Capcom is doing this. Making their characters more human. :)

[@illtakethatasacompliment5839]

I never understood that argument against the new Leon. Like...what do they even mean when they say they prefer the old one's personality ? He literally has no personality in the OG except for some hilarious one liners, which are also present in the remake. What is there to hate ? They made him feel more human, but he's even more of a badass now, parrying everything, even a damn chainsaw with his knife for example. I'm not lying when I say I genuinely have no idea how people hate his new personality.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

Nawh, that's just the voice actor being bad. No emotional range, weaker voice. The removal of the ballistics line is a straight up disappointment too.

[@liszt646]

Yeah, I love Leon in re 4 OG but it always felt weird when you look at Re 2 and Re 6's Leon versions. It's like they have different personality lol. The good thing about Re 2 and re 4 remake is that we have the same VA for Leon (and he is way more in tone with Leon from Re 6)

[@davida7229]

​​@jedley01 I get 2nd hand embarrassment when i see ppl saying "ReALisM yAsss" as then we have leon parrying a fukn chainsaw with a literal kitchen knife, backflip dodging scythes, jumping off mine carts to another platform with no momentum to physically do that. The level of imbecile consumers present in todays day and age is beyond shocking at this point jc 💀

[@zmbymstr11]

People can never be happy. If a remake isn't close enough to the OG, its souless. If it is too close to the OG, its a cash grab and the "OG didnt need a remake anyway." I think it s a genuinely good remake, follows the overall vision of the original but gives a satisfying different take.

[@Dianbler]

I would say that Capcom didn-t had to make the OG less cheesy in any way. That is my biggest criticism and I fucking hate RE4 og. However, the cheesiness of that game is unadulterated Resident Evil.

[@namanlamba5796]

Even if the audio and visuals weren't manipulated, there are just so many scenes from the remake that Crowbcat choses not to show. > The fight with the chainsaw sisters (probably because Leon does that backflip and Crowbcat can't show remake Leon looking cool) > The Mendez chase scene like Bawk mentioned > Showcasing the water hall only when the music stops playing > The castle battlements area > He also doesn't show any of the mines area where Luis teams up with you, even in the double el gigante footage, it's almost like he made an effort to exclude Luis > The krauser knife fight (not the cutscenes, the actual fight where you have to use the knife manually) > The garrador fight > For some reason in the water hall, while showing combat, he makes an active effort to run past an enemy after stunning it and not kicking it, like you can see him actively avoiding the melee prompt (ig he can't show remake Leon doing cool roundhouses???) > The main Krauser fight (all he does his show the transformation cutscene, not you know.... the literal rest of the fight) > The scene where Leon shoots Salazar, causing him to transform > He also cuts off many scenes in the remake to suit his agenda. Example:- the scene with the Saddler boss where Leon says "I'll give you a holy body" and stabs him with his own staff, Crowbcat cuts the footage off just when the rocket hits Saddler Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. The problem arises when you use such dishonest and slimy methods (like literally ommitting footage) in order to convince the audience into thinking a certain way. Because of this, I believe that this was an incredibly disengenous comparison. Even if Crowbcat was right on 1 or 2 counts, it doesn't matter because of the means he used to compare the two games and that his overall goal was not to compare them, but cater towards the orginal in a biased way

[@Yubl10]

I think that he didn't show the chainsaw sisters' fight specifically is not because of him not letting Remake Leon do anything cool but because it's an entirely optional fight in the original and a required fight in the remake. I think everything he shows is in both games and is similar in both and is required places and fights. The chainsaw sisters, I think, are the only optional fight in the OG game. The rest of your points, I agree with. Yes, he is making the remake look worse intentionally.

[@FalcoMoment]

​@@Yubl10 After the Cabin Holdout(which is thematically worse in the Original), you choose to either fight a bunch of Ganado and the Bella Sisters or just another single El Gigante but now in a long, narrow stretch. Most people pick the Bella Sisters because it's a more unique encounter, hence why they removed the choice in the Remake. Even then they didn't entirely remove that optional El Gigante, they moved it to Separate Ways for Ada to fight.

[@mtyc8494]

For some reason people also don't talk much about the opening scene, but there's a part before the ganado goes down in the basement and Leon questions him before kicking him in the face. It's so weird.

the issue is that it was titled "soul vs soulless", implying that the remake is soulless in addition to the video overall being unfair towards the remake due to some of the comparisons not making sense or just flat out cutting out scenes that could be compared from the remake

[@VergilHiltsLT]

The sound mixing in RE4 Remake still isn't nearly as good unfortunately, as is the case with most modern games.

[@ZacTheFirst]

@@VergilHiltsLT I wouldn’t say the mixing but just the overall sound design in general doesn’t have the crazy “punch”. Original RE4 had this huge quiet-loud dynamic of quiet moments followed up by really loud punchy combat sound effects and a noisy, but not too loud soundtrack that adds dread

[@xsx1113]

@@VergilHiltsLT I highly disagree, although I can't speak for other modern games. The issue with the video is that not only did crowbcat boost the audio of the original to the point of clipping for emphasis, but for the remake he clearly has the audio on a mix of: surround sound, 3D sound and high dynamic range, which does not fair well when compared to the more compressed audio of the original. high dynamic range is a good thing if you have quality headphones, or good speakers and can crank it, but by default anything that appears louder is going to sound better, even if it technically sounds worse. the audio in the RE Engine games is top notch and I say this as someone who does audio engineering.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

@@xsx1113 I'm not talking about audio levels, I'm talking about SOUND DESIGN. How punchy the guns sound, footsteps, sound effects, not the loudness but the nature of the sounds. Two completely different things. I'm also talking about art direction, which the OG excels at, while Remake relies on super high fidelity graphics to create more detail, however the overall aesthetic look suffers because of this. It puts more emphasis on detail versus art. Color palette, object design, creative design of weapons, characters, proportions, etc. Also the voice acting in Remake is really bland. RE4 OG didn't take itself too seriously and had superb casting for every character. Call it "more realistic" in Remake, but that doesn't make it better when the character has no intonation in his voice, just the same monotone, if anything it sucks the fun out of the game. Krauser's voice and Ada in particular sound awful in Remake, and some voice lines are just tasteless. RE4 OG is by far the more entertaining game and gives the player time to rest in between dialogues. The audio quality itself is higher in the Gamecube/Wii versions of the OG. Later versions compressed it and removed certain SFX. I have Audio Technica M50X headphones BTW.

[@Numenorean921]

funny how bawk could have hopped into the game at any point and proved him wrong but he didn't

[@StuTubed]

The dishonesty of that video is off the charts. The uploader is more than entitled to their own opinion, even if that opinion is based on nostalgia bias or whatever. The horrible part is that they chose to deliberately frame the remake in the worst way possible in an effort to try and manipulate others into agreeing with their opinion, like they KNEW that presenting the argument objectively for the audience to form their own opinions wouldn't work for them. Shitty behaviour.

Although at first I think Ramon in OG is better, eventually the Remake one grew more and more for Me and feels like "Yeah this is a villain that make sense and not some kid that kept bantering". The only thing I was hoping for the Remake to have is the Ramon's statue chase sequence, It was dope for me as a kid playing the OG, but anyway I still believe both is good at their own directions and point of focus

All jokes aside I grew up with RE4 og and have been playing it for about 11 years now. I have about 280 hrs on the remake as well and I can confidently say that it is the better game. However I do think the og does have more personality. The UI, the ambiance and the horror aspect are better in my opinion. I actually think that's just what older games do as a whole. A lot of old games UI's have so much personality and creativity in it and when modern games create a UI its usually plain and boring now. Idk why things just happened that way but a part of me wishes for the fun UIs to come back.

What a scummy thing to do honestly cause in my honest opinion RE4R is leagues better then RE2R which makes sense, Capcom learned a lot from RE2R and RE3R and RE4R seems to be what they've learned so far in doing remakes and I'm excited for which ever Remake comes next, be it RE:CVX Remake or RE5 Remake.

[@BobLablasLawBlog]

That video is so wild to me. I loved OG RE4 when I was younger. It was one of the first games I ever played multiple times though. It was certainly the first game I ever beat multiple times in one day, so I have tons of nostalgia for it. That being said, there are a lot of things that the remake did better. I like the overall atmosphere better. And as someone who has lived in a rural area, there are a lot of times where it is just dead silent outside. I think the person who made the video didn't consider that the absence of noise is a choice too and just feels that more sound = more sound design. But there are also things that are better for the time, like the sexualization stuff. I roll my eyes at that shit now. And it also works for the overall vibe of the game. Why would Luis, in the midst of all of this, be like "Oh, damn! Titties"? But there are also things that are lost from the OG. I think the boss transformations are a great example. There was an opportunity for real body horror in grim detail and they skipped it in the new one. And the look of the treasures was so vibrant in the OG where it isn't really in the new one. I think if there's a place to put some cartoonishness in the remake, it would be in how the jewels sparkle and how shiny a crown is. Both are amazing, but so different.

What I find wierd about the video most is actually who the creator of this video was, Crowbcat. I've seen a lot of their videos and they're usually really good. Crowbcat is excellent at demonstrating and conveying the purpose of their video without the need of commentary. However, the RE4 soul vs soulless take is just awful. Probably the first video of theirs that easily shows just how bias they are to the original to the point that they purposely go out of their way to make RE4 Remake look/sound worse. The funniest thing about it though, is that it still demonstrates the purpose of the video; that Crowbcat believes that from the start, RE4 Remake was gonna be a low effort cash grab created by developers who didn't care for the original and had 0 passion. This video just demonstrates that Crowbcat still believes that.

[@maxtech23]

It's a shame how bias the video was, there both arguably 10/10 imo, i do prefer the original a lot of the time because of nostalgia but the remake is objectively a better game and mercenaries is so fun in the remake, it's also really funny that they didn't include the minecart section, how expansive the lake is in the remake compared to the og and the shooting range.

[@salegan]

I enjoyed that they changed the accents to an actual spain accent with spanish voice actors. I'm from spain, and it irked me when I was younger, that they had latin-american accents. Now it honestly grew up on me, OG VA did a good job even if it isn't a spain accent, it fits the game very well. RE4R has a grittier and grounded feeling and it works. Though I understand that people may be annoyed about not being as faithfull.

I just noticed something after rewatching this video, RE4 og seems to have its brightness and colors turned up a little bit, while RE4R is turned down by a lot. As if the Crowbcat video couldn't be any more dishonest lmao

[@Stowoney]

I saw your comment on Crowbcat’s video like 4 hours ago, also yeah I have 150 hours on remake and the game is much brighter than what the video portrays.

[@JasonLukeSmith]

RE4 remake is absolutely no way near soulless it is 100x better than the original by mile, the gameplay, graphics, sound and story and. RE4 remake has become my most no 1 favourite RE game and this is coming from someone who thought RE4 was so overrated and overhyped of all RE games, this RE4 remake blows the original out the water and honestly with this remake I don't think I ever touch and play the original again cause there is no doubt that RE4 remakes is 100% better in every way possible

[@KindlyKell]

CrowbCat usually hyper fixates on small details. Sometimes they make good points, sometimes not. They really dropped the ball with that vid. RE4R has so many actual issues that they ignored. Makes me think they went into the game wanting to dislike it. Doesn't cover how enemies grabbing you hurts your tactical vest for some reason, or how you take a little bit of damage instantly when an enemy grabs you before you can use a knife to get them off, unlike in RE2R. Or how sometimes the camera gets pulled away from the player to show them something in the environment, while enemies can still move and hit you. None of that, fixates on the audio being too low.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

You're misinterpreting the footage. It's not only about audio mixing, it's about art direction.

[@TheAverageGamer1]

At what point did the game take the camera away from Leon allowing you to get hit? I've done 10 runs amd haven't had that happen

[@KindlyKell]

@@TheAverageGamer1 Any time there are enemies present when the game enters those mini cutscenes, you can be hit. For example, when you get the cutscene of Salvador cutting down the overhang in the village fight while you are being held, an enemy can hit you during that. It's happened to me many times.

When it came out i bought it and only played it for 4 hours, I have not touched it since and yeah this video was not out back then. It just felt more realistic and a lot less stylized, cool versus trying to be cool so I told myself never to just blindly get another re the moment it comes out without watching any spoilers or reviews of any kind again.

[@Tee3001]

I'm right there with you, I got pretty far and just turned it off and put it up on ebay. I avoided everything and picked the game up day 1, made it to the Ramon fight and I couldn't bare it anymore. It really is like the remake is souless.

[@mac1991seth]

The debate surrounding looking up Ashley has become so toxic and people throwing the word "sexism" willy nilly. It's not about sexism, coomer brain or actually seeing Ashley's panties. Hell, the game is basically calling you a pervert to your face so deleting that little detail makes the game less sexist? It's no longer sexist, because the game doesn't call you out on it? It all goes back to Gabe Newell's quote: the game is reacting to your actions. Here I am looking around for items, treasures or maybe I just cleared the area and called for Ashley to get out of hiding. She shows up at the ladder and she reacts to the fact that the camera is pointing in the wrong direction - the game is reacting to your actions. Whereas in the Remake the game is ignoring you.

[@NorwegianNoLife]

That's what people are forgetting. The remake isn't there to replace the OG. It's there to appeal to a more modern audience so they too can experience it. You want the cheesy, funny one liners and stylized cutscenes? Play OG. You want realism better gameplay? Play remake. I'm a fan of both, but one CAN NOT deny the gameplay is generally way better in the remake. I choose to look at them as two parts of a whole experience in a way, and if I were to make a "top 10 videogames ever" type of list they would probably share the spot

[@blastermaster5039]

He has done some pretty entertaing and solid videos,with this one he 98% missed the point and with the comments deletion he made it even worse. Original and Remake are both awesome in what they do,but calling "Soulless" RE4 Remake after the amount of attention to detail and respect for the oiriginal material it's a bit too much.I am also against the stupid censorships (even if gladly it's not as noticeable as in previous Capcom games here) but that don't kill the overall quality.

[@HorsieWalker]

do you have any evidence crowbcats videos are altered? You said that about 500x in this video but I didn't see you bring any proof. I also noticed you were very quiet and quickly moved on when you couldn't use that excuse like at 29:34

There isn't any proof. People just couldn't take that crowbcat thought the remake was a bit soulless compared to the original. And there's nothing wrong with that. Imagine thinking that everyone has to agree with you. Complete hive mind, not unlike los illuminados.

I am greatful the VA in italian language are so good. Obviously the OG merchant is as inimitable as like nemesis OG. Krauser and Ada VA ENG are better in OG. Aniway OG have so much good atmosphere in some places like’s original games… And the gore/brutal is masterpiece in the OG and comedy too… But just only like that major proirity. Becouse everything in remake are better…

[@TheWesternFountain]

I wouldnt say re4r is souless, i think that is a massive overstatment, but there are bits and pieces here and there that annoyed me. There were parts that improved on the original though and made it better. I feel like his video should have been titled better as a "make your own choice" kind of thing instead of full on soul vs souless, probably would have made more sense.

[@monkeybone1080]

Yeah that vid tries too hard. It's not so black and white. I do think the REmake fumbled a lot of things compared to the original, but I also think it's the best REmake of the bunch to date. Really enjoyed my time with it despite the issues. Also, I like Ada's new outfit (it's the best she's had since 4 OG) but to say it's better than the original? Just no. That dress IS Ada and really highlights the femme fatal that she's all about.

Bawk is being just as bias and disingenuous here though. The "he edited the audio" thing has been disproven time and time again. The sound, and especially the mixing, sucks in Remake. Btw I criticised his video back then too with some comments of my own and they are still up with hundreds of likes. He hasn't deleted any comments. It has been proven many times since then he didn't edit the audio, so people are actually realising the video is pretty accurate. Why did Bawk just happen to ignore the pinned comment btw? :^)

The most jarring part when it cuts to remake is the silence, every time. If you play remake with the Og soundtrack you get the best of both worlds. The remake soundtrack is mostly mute, it’s terrible. Gotta go with Of soundtracks. Same goes for RE2 remake.

The only bad thing about this game, is the Ada VA. But I won't let a bad apple ruin the bunch. This game is a 95/100 easy. And I believe the og is too.

I agree that crowbcat's video is severely biased and full of BS, but the point of 20:00 isn't to show that Ashley is all prim and proper in the remake, it's to show that in the original you can hear rain and thunder and see the lightning through the window. The remake doesn't have that and the room is completely still.
