A bit meta. Leon after years of training and experience should have no issues. And player after playing through all these new RE games should also have easy time. :P Leon has the skills, but it depends on us.

[@Homiloko2]

They really hit the mark with the small details. I loved how each collectible usually has a sound cue that you can pinpoint if you pay attention, but at the same time they naturally blend in with the background sound effects. Such as the creaking bells, the crows, the little statuettes, and so on. For the first time in a modern game I don't feel like I have to browse a goddamn wiki to find all the collectibles, it just happens organically.

[@XaneTenshi]

Hey, it ain’t my damn fault YOU (Leon) have to stand completely still for 5 seconds just to have proper aim with the Blacktail😓

I love how despite areas being so different, you are still able to pinpoint where you'd be in the original game

And then there are some areas where you go through the reverse way of the original. For instance, the first stealth section with the equipment, you jump two windows, then a u-turn and a small corridor. It was the other way around in the original. Impressive

I know a lot of people don't notice this but I really freaking appreciate that the ganados are actually speaking European Spanish. I was never offended or anything like that from the first game, in fact, it just added to the b-movie camp factor, but if this game really wanted to be more serious I'm glad they actually took the time to find Spanish voice actors instead of just casting whoever spoke Spanish near capcom hq. An equivalent scenario would be if leon was sent to some random English town where everyone spoke as if they were in trailer park boys

​@@dolphin223.4​​it takes being a Spanish speaker (or really attentive to auditive cues) to be able to tell the difference, we get it that it might not make a substantial difference to those who don't.

Follow this for a second: imagine the game is set in the equivalent of Northern England having a non-english speaking main character when it comes to language.

@@Keemera And the silly thing is, the people complaining the original was too long were doing so because, like most RE games of the time, the quality dropped off heavily the further you went in. That's no longer the case. Make your game as long as you can without the quality dropping and I'll lap it up! No one's forcing anyone to play any game to the credits, complaints about a game being "too long" never make sense to me. Maybe with some qualifiers like "too long for the amount of content" or "too long after it was clear the quality was no longer holding up" etc. But just "too long"? Never!

[@jeremyconner1827]

Another thing I love about this remake is that I played through on hardcore mode the first time and I liked how literally any enemy can wreck your shit if you let them especially with how scarce the ammo can be at times most combat encounters I was clutching it but man it's rewarding when you finally overcome it and you get out with like 2 handgun bullets left with no healing items

[@tungyingloh6300]

Totally agree, especially when myself fighting Salazar hardcore first time, exhausting every ammo that I have, managed to hit and run with red 9. By the time Im done with Salazar, the timing Ive spend fighting Salazar is 45 mins (I did not know the golden egg technique that time)

[@brendansage6876]

Personally, I found Salazar to be absolutely the hardest boss (at least on standard, no hardcore playthrough yet.) That mf kicked kicked me around like a toy like six, seven times. I eventually discovered that my somewhat old PS4 caused a bit of a framerate drop when using the Stingray rifle with a scope. As an experiment I took off the scope, the lag was totally gone, and pulled through first try without it. Although I typically play on normal in most games and imagine that the feeling is even better on harder difficulties, I totally agree with you that persevering on really hard fights/encounters and coming out on top eventually is an awesome feeling. Love this game.

Hey bro, did you do it in the end? If not, here's a little tip: if you can run past something, do it! Even if you have no heals or money do it, you will eventually find resources laying around and you wont waste any time collecting them, same with treasures, only the ez to get ones. And remember to use them resources only on bosses or scripted enemy sequences, as for gold and upgrades: knife and body armor is a must, and focus on maxing fire rate and damage of the heavy hitters to have a better time with beefy bosses. And another very important tip, if you die, dont click "continue", but instead click quit out, go and load the auto save and the time you spent dying wont count anymore, as you technically havent died! Need more help? Ask me anything, i platinumed it ans speedrunned it multiple times.

It really is amazing how well they struck a balance between trimming some fat and keeping the game largely faithful. RE2 remake was great, but definitely suffered in certain aspects like the A/B scenarios being scarcely different from the originals. And while the RE3 remake wasn't entirely bad, it cut way too much content from a game that was already considered a little too short back in 1999. To think we would get not one, but TWO solid remakes in the same year, and barely even months apart. The Dead Space remake and Resident Evil 4 remake are really refreshing since most remakes tend to be either extremely unnecessary, or even downright terrible. Hopefully Capcom extends this same energy to their other IPs, like Onimusha and Dino Crisis

The opening gameplay in the original takes place during daytime. When I first played it I thought oh so its not the usual night time zombie outbreak that you have to deal with in almost every re game but instead with 4 og it wasn’t scary but the weight of creepiness was getting heavier especially with all that hazy atmosphere.The more Leon took another step towards the villagers house the more horrifying it got. It felt just a normal day in the village except there and there you would find things like rotten food, dead animals to dead people lying around or worse hung up like decorations. All that and villagers not being friendly either was quite unsettling experience for me. The remake didn’t have to change all that. In fact it should saved the night time missions for later.

Then once you beat the game on hard or professional and you could put ashley in that armor suit the game instantly went 100% easy mode as she turned into a literal human shield.

It was an alright game but for a Resident Evil game, didn't quite measure up. Didn't expect it to do quite as good as the fourth but anyone who has played the second or fourth Resident Evil knows it could've done way better. It wasn't so much the story but more the graphics and gameplay that did it for me. Totally lacked intensity of the first two and I just thought it would be something of that nature but more intense. And didn't get none of that. Just mild play with mediocre zombies which took from the story despite how good it was but like I said hopefully the remake of that brings out the better gameplay hence make it into a better game a more Resident Evil style game and not something that looks and feels like a dreamcast edition house of the dead.

[@MrQwertysystem]

​@@jonahulichny9874If I remember the OG correctly then the answer is yes and no. There is still a ancient ruin section, but it's a lot smaller and dedicated purely for the Krauser fight and it doesn't feel as out of place. Generally speaking the enviroments all feel a lot more appropriate this time.

bro, why is nobody talking about the god awful aim spread system? seriously, i just booted up re2 remake and my little nuts are quaking just being able to move my camera without the stupid reticle reopening... but i guess im the only one with this problem, considering i played with the handcannon for like 2 playthroughs, which has the worst spread of all handguns on par with the broken butterfly, except it actually zooms in the aim cone overtime, but again, you have to keep the camera still or it will reopen again... and uh... they added aim sway. why, oh god, WHY, DID THEY ADD AIM SWAY **AND** MAKE IT SO YOU CANT ADJUST YOUR AIM?

SPOILER!!! Not in the remake The truck sequence. Roof with nails coming down. Chess piece puzzle. Puzzle with all the nights in. Sewer with cloaked insects Waterfall puzzle scene Gondola scene The second giant scene where you have to shoot a lock to get through a gate in time. Military section after the section with moving bags with a Regenerator inside. Crane scene in the garbage section. Spinels arent hidden around the world for you to shoot so they drop anymore. Just some birdnests. Less birds to shoot. Merchant is WAAAAY more frequent. I remember in the old one when it was a warm welcome. The tense moment in the cage where some are shooting at you plus having a bastard with blade for arms in the old one is a cutscene. Conclusion. The aiming for the old one sucked at PC and was godlike on Wii. One should play both. I love them both, because the remake have more backstory and the old one is one that I have played and finished so many times. The remake is a perfect remake in my opinion because it gives the one who has played the original something new and fresh but also keeping some sections familiar. It is a must buy ♥

[@GinkgoPete]

I played the Original for the first time recently waiting for the remake. It actually aged surprisingly well in the gameplay regard, which I didnt at all expect. I think called it a timeless masterpiece is honestly fair. This remake is a masterclass in how to remake a game, keeps enough things to remind you what it is while improving and changing enough to make it fresh. And Ashley cheering you on in the Shooting Gallery is such small yet amazing detail.

To be fair, there are lines from the original that are worth keeping. His remark to Salazar when he sends that bug thing after him is incredibly funny.

I can personally say the PS5 version is extremely optimized. You can turn on Ray Tracing and have it set to Performance favoring frame rate and have never noticed slowdown and takes 1 to 5 seconds during loading screens, which only occur when loading a save, before each chapter starts, and taking the elevator for the shooting game or castle cart thing.

@@EarthenGames People are complaining about the lack of charm. I understand why it's gone though, it makes sense.

[@BlueZirnitra]

That's the thing. The original is still great, almost more so because of the mild jank and wonky humour. I don't really need a modern version of the silliness, it could never have the same nostalgic charm anyway. But it's really cool to see all these characters and enemies in a modern light with a different tone. We have both and we are lucky that this version is even half as faithful as it is. People always complained that the original was too goofy, now we complain that the remake isn't goofy enough. But we have both lol.

[@Shft-T4b]

As someone who put a lot of hours into the original RE4, the additions they made to the combat (mainly the parry system) are awesome, and I love how it also fits in with Leon's character as a sign of his training. I'd even say that they do an even better job here at making you feel like a badass government agent than the original when it comes to standard combat (when you're not running away screaming in terror because your knife broke and you don't have a spare).

[@linnen_elm]

fought that alien in laboratory with elevator, the motherfucker did a taunt gesture when you didn't run and duel him one on one! unfortunately i was too early in the game- dumped all resource on the xenomorph, he still won't die, will try again in NG+

[@afungai1649]

Leon didn’t move like a “badass government agent” in the original, he moved like a WW1 era tank stuck in molasses. Tank controls in a 3rd person action shooter just do not work at all.

[@ElSombraRegio7]

Agreed. And it speaks volumes to the curstion of this game. Leon does feel more badass, but even your joke hints at the vulnerability he's in without proper use of his training and resources. Leon even makes remarks when the knive breaks or gets hit and sounds desperate. The vulnerability of the situation is something we can empathize with and the horrifying sensationalism of the moments leads us to understand that if the bad ass super agent is struggling, then this is one hell of a challenge

[@captaintoast4675]

​@@afungai1649 skill issue Ok but for real, I get that the controls in the original aren't the greatest lol.

[@ExodusCore]

No, it is crap. Using a knife to parry a chainsaw? The whole point of being confronted with the villagers was that it was supposed to give you this feeling of doom. You were supposed to feel that you could only run and try to survive. Of course, as in all games, if you just practice enough you can just knife everyone. But you had to develop that skill, and unless you were at least a slightly aboveaverage competenet player... it took you a couyple of hours of playing until you could start to dish it out. But with Leon being able to block, even if he logically should be able to block some of those things. Since it isn't a real person blocking but just the player hitting a button combination. If you just get the button comniation down to a T, you can simply make the whole thing ridiculous. It is like that idiotic dodge manouver in the RE3 remake where you can roll/dodge every time Nemesis or an enemy tries to grab you. Seeing a character roll every three-five seconds in the game like a super ninja on steroids (and then dodge rockets) really kills the immerions and horror feel. So same thing here. If you can block things, that means you can do it all the time. Which means that instead of being a game where you can get killed, you can just walk towards an enemy, quickly block the attack, push them back and do a coupleof quick stabs with the knife, themn block again and repeat the performance. Just look at that chainsaws being blocked by a knife. As incredibly idiot as that is... just insert the tactic I just mentioned into this scene. Black the chainsaw, push the back and do a few quick stabs, then block again. I don't care how much of a trained soldier you are, what soldier would fight a chainsaw guy like that? But in the game you can... which means that what little horror aspect there were is now gone.

[@haryx1964]

Unsure if anyone's pointed this out yet, but you actually CAN parry thrown molotovs at you with the knife, and it usually sends it flying away from you and often back to sender. Unsure about dynamite as I haven't had the guts to try it. Edited to add that the footage he uses shows him doing it right after he says that too lol

As someone living in South America i can confirm that a parasite bursts out of your body when you get food posioned

The parrying and ducking makes the game more dynamically engaging with how limited the offered tools were when it comes to its handedness.

[@BlueZirnitra]

I think that was a really intelligent addition. Original was nearly perfect and I didn't mind it's quirks for the time but one of Leon's glaring weaknesses was how clunky it was to get away from up close enemies, which they solved with a ridiculously OP knife attack. I enjoyed slashing dudes in the face as opposed to having an escape option but I think that's one gameplay element that would seem dated now. Now Leon can defend himself as he should without wildly flailing.
