The Jerk's Guide To Resident Evil 4 Remake

I don't know why RE4 didn't give Leon a cool Jojo theme when he starts kick enemies really quickly. That would have made it a REAL remake of Resident Evil 4.

Can I just say your art style makes everything either fun, or in this case, adorable as heck? I love your thumbnails so much.

[@RowbyVids]

I didn't draw the thumbnail! I linked the artist in the description

[@Thegamergabe4.0]

@@RowbyVidsah. I do apologize. But I do like your small art edits you do put in there. Do you draw your character and your images you use for your narratives?

[@RowbyVids]

@@Thegamergabe4.0 I draw a little bit! I've started to throw my own hand in this year, mine is probably the smallest influence but I try :)

[@slenderminion2229]

"But that's not how they introduce these guys to you. They do it by sieging you with cannons." _Clearly shows a catapult._ Great video though, as always. Definitely didn't expect this one.

[@lordlofus1399]

Cant wait for the jerks guide to that weird sadness in your heart that you previewed us to.

[@masteroogway6660]

Jesus, that tie joke came out left field

[@deadwalkin12345]

8:15 Everything you listed from this point is what made Del Lago all the more terrifying in the VR version of RE4 😅

[@Notllamalord]

Chris redfield in RE5 will always be the peak resident evil protagonist

[@Acekencade]

5:05 why did I laugh so hard at the chainsaw man theme

[@MilkshakeSkunkette]

Great video dude! i loved the original RE4, and the remake was a fun time\@o@/ I definitely remember the days of RE4 videos all over the internet - YTMND memes, Shadowleggy videos - man i miss that erra of the internet

[@LordRazer3]

Game was a lot harder and scarier to play when the shadow's are bugged to the point you could walk in on satan naked and make the mistake of complimenting him on how nice his loincloth is. Then having to squint your eye's and leaning in a little before you can see the actual horrors in front of you

[@knightedsensei]

Amazing job on completing the game without using the hud. :) How did you pull off certain sections like the Minecarts or the freezer rooms? Also, I enjoyed the points about nostalgia, but I'm about 4 years too young to relate to RE4 in particular - I'm a Nintendo kid. Honestly as someone who never really knew about the original (no spoilers was cool), I really enjoyed RE4:R, it's also kinda cool just being around the whole hype cycle (i.e. the demo, reviews, Bingo memes etc.) and it actually paying off. I really liked your point about the different kind of heroes in video game media - everyone loves Leon and I think you succinctly explained why, its more of a man vs challenge (nature) and less of man vs himself. Part of that hype cycle too is just getting a super polished AAA game (compared to buggy/live service titles) and enjoying it alongside everyone else - just little things like the shooting mini game were really well put together. On your final point near the end of the vid, there's been a fair amount of discussion about the whole "IP-ification" of huge game releases. You've got live services (Sony pushing for them), and big-budget remakes with reliable IP's behind them, and then in the other corner are your wholly original games or Indie/double A titles. Seems we're reaching a point where original games are too much of a risk (i.e. Forspoken, Callisto Protocol), and even highly praised games like Hi-Fi Rush aren't making enough money compared to the others. So it looks like big-budget remakes / games with big studios (Fromsoft) or IPs behind them will be the norm going forward. I didn't really think about how Resident Evil games were kinda apart of that, but now especially with FFXVI I do kinda see that. Overall a great watch. Good work on covering the game and interjecting thoughts, tangents and interesting discussion in a well edited, well paced and not too long essay-format. Your Jerk's Guides are really getting that unique identity of being part review/summary, part essay discussion and part comedy video. And you do such a great job with analysing the Zeitgeist around a game (for RE4 both the past and future) - because deep down games will forever being linked with when, where and how they came out. That's a unique perspective that not a lot of KZbinrs discuss and something that really makes your videos special. Keep up the great vids, they are worthy of aspiration and I'm sure they will only continue to improve!

[@Shleepykkkkk]

Love your content(especially dbd ones), keep it up ❤️

[@SRHunt85]

I was that 10 year old, but I wasn’t watching RE4 videos, I was watching a blonde elf man turn into a wolf with a sassy gremlin girl wearing a fancy hat wondering what THAT was about.

[@amezzeray2]

This is the most video gamey video game I've played for a long time. Just pure fun while appealing to my pathetic fangirly nature

[@mellowmillow]

The most comically similar thing between the original and the remake for me is that I'll actually play the game in a couple of years when I can actually afford the hardware to run it T.T

[@lemonlime8949]

Thank you Rowby for taking my request 🔥

[@anders6326]

Dude, I wanna give your story a 11/ 10. I appreciate your honest take on Re4R! Also, have my sub! That throwback to the OOOOOLLLD cringe yet AWESOME parody of Re4 threw me back to my teenage years! I'm happy I found your channel, broski

[@Cephalon-ghost]

perfect time to watch a rowby video

[@clockwerk152]

Brrrrruh i loved the saki yoshida referance with the save that girl

[@trentonharper9042]

I don't like that you called out my age and irony of what in doing at the end. It felt like a personal attack. Apologize

[@VeryHungryEggshelleater]

ballistics

[@mariofan9974]

So question, if you do end up doing the ‘jerks guide’ to indie games, is there a chance for the jerks guide to omori maybe way later down the line?

[@colynmorrissey3519]

Honestly I’m happy to know your a re fan video was great

[@cookiecaine4188]

Another Rowby video, hype.

[@lunaticamirhosin9127]

19:24 President barrack obomba moment

[@PhysicalToast]

We are at a point where remakes have to be remade. The RE1 remake is the same age as RE4.

[@MajesticSheepLord]

LETS GOOOO ROWBY POSTED

[@etourdie]

17:58 Hi! My name is moushley. I like cheese. I really like cheese, there's something about it, its touch, its smell, its taste

[@surprise1am676]

Love this series

[@yandelpagan7876]

For years i wondered were this fish fight was with the guy in a tiny boat. Glade after years later I found out this was Resident Evil 4. It was scary when I was watching my uncle's girlfriend fight it. It looked super difficult.

[@CaiusRyza]

I loved this video. I knew I subbed for a reason lol

[@thisismyaltaccount85]

OH MY GOD BENTLEY BROS AND BOFFYROX, MY CHILDHOOD ❤

[@RowbyVids]

you get it

[@pimplyface64]

Remember when this dude actually had something to say?

[@repstyle8518]

(26:43) Ok yea BUT and hear me out on this "HALO" the live action show, "The Witcher" (Season 3), and Even the Netflix Adaptations of "resident Evil" and Cowboy Beebop were all shows where the Directors or writers Even came out to admit they WANTED to just use the name and make their own stories (EX. Halo, resident evil). they also stated they did not like the original stories (Ex. Halo, Witcher) while trying to bait the fans into watching it despite claiming in some instances prior how they would stick to source material (Cowboy Beebop, Halo, Witcher( seasons 1-2 w/ cavil)). I am not one of the people who even cared about these shows just heard all the news about them and did my own analysis. My point being I wouldnt say its silly when youre "promised" things will be one way, you finally get to see your favorite game come to life and get Introduced to more people. you Pay for the subscription service it airs EXCLUSIVELY on only for the showrunners to say Fuck you this is the story I WANT to tell and if you dont like it dont watch it. these schemes often misrepresenting the franchise and its fans whilst they are in some ways justifiably upset. then the show gets cancelled. not all instances but im sure you can understand. (not promoting any "harassment" (whatever that means in todays age) or anything like that)

[@rabbidguarddog]

Wooooo! 🎉

[@Clementine_alister]

Neat!

[@Ian_games06]

I love the dark picture anthology reference lmfao

[@AlbertWesker-uk3uv]

Leon scares me.

[@superatario3007]

Without a doubt I can say that I don't want remakes of every game I grew up playing. There is a certain fondness for seeing the old school graphics on games like The Force Unleashed that take me back. If anything, this remake just shows that RE4 was a great game from the conceptual level up as they made it in two separate eras and both times it ended up being a very well praised game. I enjoy remakes as a complementary piece to be like a way to experience the sensations that I felt in my early years but I 100% side with that not every beloved game needs a remake.

[@ragedgrunt]

Rowby thinks I didn't wait 15 years to learn about resident evil 4, unfortunately for him I'm that guy living under a rock!

[@humanoidbig3679]

Where’s everyone going… bingo?

[@beanman2146]

good shit old man

[@fearrogue]

That game was so good.

[@xlucky7x]

Unfortunately Resident Evil 4 remake cannot capture my birthday in 2005 where I got Resident Evil 4 soon after the release date on top of the GameCube I was devastated I didn't get for Christmas so I could get Resident Evil 4 for my birthday. Honestly, 10/10 birthday, I got Resident Evil 4, Timesplitters 2 and 007 Nightfire along with a GameCube and there's not been a better collection of games since then for me.

[@johnnynutpunch4972]

It would of been awesome to see a big nod to dead by daylight if in the game Leon could drop a pallet on an enemy 😂

[@rb8258]

Did I play the game? No Will I watch Rowby's video? Yes

[@redjestergaming2678]

Great game, yet the lack of shirtless wesker disappointed me.

[@xSoporific1]

nice

[@Mockingbird1517]

NOOO WHAT HAPPENED THE NASALLY HIGH WESKER VOICE NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@cob7348]

Yippee!

[@MaverickRiou]

With you on code Veronica, but please. Please remake Outbreak. Should’ve been Outbreak instead of that weird multiplayer game that came with 3Make.

[@Verdugo_Arulaq]

I can’t wait for The Beanie to do a video on FNAF lore and retell the story of all the media I’m sure he won’t lose his mind like- er anyways Also part of me was hoping to hear about Verdugo, I love his design and his boss fight was fun.

[@smol..2]

lessgo

[@romantheomega1220]

Love you're art style also Do a fnaf video

[@masterpiece8846]

15:17 that aged poorly lmao

[@serkan978]

Watched your vids for like 3 years now and i just noticed you are also the one who uploaded the idiot sandwich cllip

[@mpixl9965]

should i be here yet? i feel like i'm early

[@morbingrn2622]

another rowby banger #rowbysweep

[@aeronphillips8876]

-passes the boof- noice!

[@CaiusRyza]

Also to add, seems everyone but me hated Ada's voice actress in this. I had no issues with her voice actress. I blame her producer cause she plays Ada in the Welcome To Raccoon City movie and she was fine in that credits scene. People also hating on Krauser and Wesker's new voice. I loved both. Krauser actually sounds like Leon's Major in this remake and Wesker sounds better for not being the over the top hammy he was in 5.

[@LeonardoStupidKenway]

Krauser wasn't leons major in the original. I like this version more, but there are some holes there and there. How did he find out about the cult?

[@ChangedCauseYT-HateFoxNames]

Im sorry, but I have a feeling my brain is going to melt after seeing how the game actually is and not Maxor's Eldredge horror.

[@TheScottishMexican42]

Its funny cos trying to be the anti-RE4 guy is what crowbcat done and it backfired massively.

[@LeonardoStupidKenway]

Its though to even understand what he meant with that video. Was he talking about the ambience or what?

[@enchiladatamata7786]

The stagger changes were the dumbest thing in the remake and caused me to put the game down. The original will always be better just for the consistency in its gameplay alone. Nothing better than not knowing if I’m going to still get hit despite putting two bullets into a common villager enemy’s head.

[@paranidherc]

Idk what this guy is on, but Ada was pristine in this version. She actually sounded like a real person, while still having the femme fatale vibes.

[@meganoreo1839]

Lily Gao did an amazing job as Ada

[@MasqueradeBreaker]

Except, she didn't really. Technically, her voice acting was very bad.

[@mattemactics1280]

Sir, I'm 33

[@jackjax7921]

Re 4 remake has 100x better atmosphere than the original. And that Re 5 tonal bias is fucking hypocritical asf.

[@psychosparten049.esquire9]

RE7 better

[@stellamarie32]

Videos?! When I was a ten year old all I had was endlessly rereading the Nintendo Power issues that had details on RE4. 🥹
