The censorship is *_really_* counter-intuitive if you think about it a bit more. Like specifically the “ballistics” line is supposed to show that Luis is a bit of a pig for wanting to flirt with Ashley as they’re getting surrounded by blood-thirsty villagers. The only reason it was removed was because the Facebook staff who looked over the game either wanted to go on a power trip and assert some kind of “authority” (I know it sounds silly but the corporate world is full of people like this), or they’re just too stupid to realize that the line is making fun of Luis

Johnichu, ImpulseCdog and Null are morons, I just want to make that clear. It's not "just" pickup lines, it's a game that impacts culture and it's also character development. It's a part of who Leon is as a character and the way the ladies respond is also a part of their character. Sexuality is a part of human experience and sanitizing this stuff has a cultural impact. It's not a minor thing when all media starts to be subverted.

[@null7198]

@@throwacnt7603 There's nothing wrong with Sex, hell, they kept some of the skimpy outfits for Ashley even from what I've heard-- The lines just aren't even very good (though that's opinion) and overall they're just so miniscule I don't see why it's such an issue. You say it's part of their character and sure, it is-- But their character is portrayed well enough without the extra B-Movie level dialog, and overall their existence as lines really doesn't add anything other than just being kinda weird. Removing bad lines isn't sanitizing as much as it is just making a stronger script in a script that already isn't the best necessarily. The game isn't ruined without them, or even really noticeable that they're gone-- I'm almost positive MOST people wouldn't even realize they weren't there (Or vaguely remember it like some kind of mandele effect thing) if it wasn't pointed out so fervently.

[@fromthebackseat4865]

In regards to the censorship. I can assure you they did not make these changes to appease anyone. Nobody was asking that they do this. Nobody would’ve been angry had they not. They made these changes because, by the very fabric of their nature, corporations are inherently risk adverse. They will remove ANYTHING if they feel it would threaten their bottom line, even if it almost definitely would not. For instance, Amazon directed the strange sex scene out of the film Avatar. Nobody asked that they do that, but because people made jokes about it in the past, Amazon did it. Everybody is always blaming changes like this on everyday people, even though they are not the ones to blame. The people you should blame are the corporations who will censor art to maintain their disgusting levels of profit and greed. The people you should blame are the class of people who own these corporations and who put the dollar above literally everything else. What I’m saying is that there is a very specific sociopolitical system that you SHOULD blame, but you are instead choosing to blame people who have 0 power over these decisions. And I know why. It’s a lot more comforting to just blame “stupid sensitive people” than it is to point a finger at the system that controls our entire lives. Because if you blame that system then, well, you’d have to start advocating for something besides it. And that scares people, for the most part.

I completely understand the struggles and complaints that this KZbinr has about the VR version of the original Resident Evil 4. I have some of the same complaints as well. However, my nostalgia for the game remains strong because it was the first Resident Evil game I ever played. I spent a lot of time grinding on that game, so I don't mind playing the campaign over and over again. It's something to do to pass the time if I don't have anything else to do during the day. I got the Quest 2 a couple of years after the original Resident Evil 4 came out on the Oculus Quest 2, and Mercenaries was available as soon as I got it. The PRL 412 hand cannon and the Chicago typewriter, along with some bonus costumes, were available as well. I'm grateful that I got the game and the headset while all of those things were still there. The only thing that bothers me personally is that PlayStation and Xbox allow you to buy the bonus weapons for Resident Evil 2 and 3 remake in case you don't have time to grind to unlock them yourself. It would be nice if the Quest store had the same option to purchase all the bonus weapons and costumes. However, I understand why the company in charge of the Oculus Quest 2 doesn't do this. They want you to spend time grinding to get all these bonus costumes and weapons. Despite this, it's still a minor complaint, and I really enjoyed the game.

@@zedoctor3724 Umm what if game companies start doing this with more re-released games.

You're telling your in favor of changing Pac-Man to be more sympathetic and not kill these digital ghost of the sake of a star that has zero affects to our existence?

@@Faded.Visuals yeah this isn’t fucking Konami levels of disrespect to the source material. Just look at the silent hill 2 & 3 remasters those games got fucking butchered. All because they were too lazy or cheap to pay the OG voice actors to return or use they’re dialogs. So instead they hired a whole other team of voice actors that did a terrible job at re dubbing the game. Let alone all the glitches and missing fog cuz they lost the masters of the original games somehow. But naw though 30 seconds of missing dialog game and characters are ruined, trash, 0/10, don’t buy. The censorship fucking sucks and is stupid but the worst part to me is that it’s missing content. But whatever. Mercenaries and the ada stories should be here and they should’ve delayed till that stuff was ready. But I’m not gonna sit here and say that they didn’t do a good job and that the games unplayable.

[@Felix-1309]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious shortcomings. I found it suspicious that they pretty much did not mention the price until nearly at launch. $40 especially for a VR game is a lot of money, which not discrediting the effort the devs put in making this port. It's not a bad VR game it seems but could have some better design decisions. Such as two-handing handguns and being able to pull a mag out with your offhand without it taking out the existing one. Also, good lord 2D scopes in VR I thought we were clear from MOH that is unacceptable in VR to look through a pinhole in a black void. If there was a classic control scheme where not only your movement was limited but you could only shoot when holding still I think could attribute to a more balanced game from the original design while still keeping the fun of VR. And the censorship yea that doesn't make sense. This game has been out for 16 years by this point and has been ported to nearly every system and hasn't seen a need to be censored. Not even on the Nintendo Switch, my best guess is someone at Facebook either threw a fit or they thought allowing this on the platform would damage the image somehow.

It's like making a WWII game but all of the Nazis are secretly bleeding hearts and the concentration camps are just fun getaways for all of the prisoners who spend their time braiding lanyards and scrapbooking because it'll make Little Johnny 12 Year Old feel more comfortable and coddled while his 25 year old mom zones out on Xanax on the couch...

Also, seeing how re 4 vr, re 2 remake and re 3 remake have been treated where the cut downgrade and change things that give them their identity, i don't have high hopes for re4 remake, if of course re 4 remake and re 4 vr aren't the same.

The enemies should’ve been programmed to sprint fully at players. Imo the games enemies needed a more physics based upgrade. Ragdolls and environmental interaction. I worried about these things before release. But believed it would be added considering the daunting task it is to make a VR remake of one of the most influential games of all time.

[@Snivy-Wizard-Nattie]

Armature studios is an excellent studio and this is an amazing port/version, but they need to reprimand executive producer Tom Ivey, HARD for applying his pro censorship ideals to this port of the game. A port is a 1:1 release on a different system not a excuse to change the game to his opinion even if the intent is good its still censorship since it changes what the original game without the consent of the people who originally made it especially given RE4 was rereleased multiple times if it was for "Modern Audiences" then Capcom would maybe have done that to at a later point when porting it on switch for instance one of the more modern ports but they didn't. Which shows it was a change not only completely unwarranted it also technically undermines Capcom's insinuated decision to keep it the same. Now you may be asking but Nattie I hear you ask what's the big deal, isnt the censorship not questionable given what is removed? Well I answer with I seen how these people work, Pro Censorship individuals will only keep doing it till you forcefully get them to stop as there very similar to Cancel Culture. You give them an inch and they will take a mile and this will only get worse with future projects so its best to stop this right here before it effects other games Armature port or work on, especially ports given that's directly changing the game and what's in it a lot of the times when censorship is applied which is what happened here. So imo to make it worth it they need to *Undo all that bs opinionated censorship *Add the extra content from the other versions as well as mercenaries cause this is one of those times where mercenaries is a Excellent idea. (Especially considering the remake will be out soon and its just excellent marketing to release the extra content around that time to further reignite interest in RE4.)
