Why Is Resident Evil 4 A Masterpiece?!

[@MarcosHobson]

My mother, a deaf woman, played this game for years. Over and over and over again… she always hoarded her money, yelled when being chased, and took the same paths each playthrough and had to have beat it well over a dozen times, but always had a good time. Especially when we were watching her play. She didn’t understand the story, or any of the background lore - she just loved this game. It’ll forever be a masterpiece to her and myself. Tried to get her to play RE5 and RE6 with me, but the mechanics were a little different and she wasn’t having it! Lmao RIP Mom.

@@medranodiego8641that’s because it IS a secret. The game sets you up to miss it; you start in a new chapter right after leaving the room, with your back turned to the door, facing down the hall so the player is influenced to continue forward and not try going back. RE4 is filled with moments like that. If you want to get technical, the GC version of the game still has that scene but not separate ways, meaning it was always optional. Which is my point.

[@toonbat]

I think RE4 took a cue from Aliens and Terminator 2. When people are familiar with your monster, and thus not so easily frightened by it, make the sequel lean more towards action. That way both the characters and the audience can experience the catharsis of feeling like they're facing their old fears head-on. But don't forget to also up the stakes and make the monsters more powerful, so that the tension remains.

[@genigma-x7329]

Technically speaking, Code Veronica isn't actually fully 3D (whereas RE4 was). Instead it uses a psuedo-3D system wherein the environment is indeed fully rendered in 3D, but the camera only pans on a fixed plane that the player cannot control - much less view objects within it from all angles - thereby giving the illusion of 3D without truly achieving it. This was used a lot at the time (think early God of War and DMC titles for examples of this) in order to maintain a higher fidelity than - due to hardware limitations - was possible with true 3D. So he's essentially correct in saying this.

[@evolvedcockroach9046]

RE4 is quite possibly the best marriage of mechanics, enemy design, and level design in a game to date. The core "stagger-melee" combat loop is consistently satisfying, providing mechanical (i-frames, crowd control, massive damage) and kinetic (cinematic presentation, momentary lull in tension) rewards every single time. Enemies are always visually reactive to what the player does. Adversaries change over the course of the game, and things like shields, invisible foes, helmets, and crossbows force the player to mix up their tactics, and push them to discover every element of the game's rich toolset. RE4 also rewards experimentation with a variety of weapons and a rich upgrade system. It's an absolute masterpiece of design, which makes it delightful to play.

@@abc-ug5ym Have you seen how fast RE 4 combat can be? The skill ceiling for the game is incredible.

[@42Mrgreenman]

@@abc-ug5ym I like that little insight at the end there. Not just the mine cart, but the whole combat system seems like they took the emotional experience of gun combat in something from the arcades like Lethal Enforcers, House of the Dead, or Time Crisis and adapted it to RE...Specifically, Time Crisis (With the pedal)...Leave cover...Check targets and distance...Prioritize threats...Line up reticle...Fire...Evade when pressured... But in terms of bagging on consoles, IMHO it's a matter of precision...it's the reason why almost every FPS on console MUST include at least some aim assist, especially if it mixes console and PC players competitively...Man, I remember trying to play Counter-Strike on PC with a controller against keyboard...no contest...but the same does NOT apply however to something like Fighting games where all you are looking for is a single input command rather than a precision selection of pixel under your cross-hair....(Controllers CAN actually be better in the FGC due to ergonomics and the shorter distance your fingers need to travel for input...) so control choice is pretty situational... One last bit, I would partially disagree with the slowness complaint about RE4. The speed of the aiming and enemy movement is balanced with the fact that there is no strafing, dodging, or moving at all while aiming. It's doesn't make the game worse, just different in terms of player priorities...Think of it this way...In an FPS' you can circle-strafe or if you position your cross-hair at head level and aim just to the left of a corner that turns to the right, you can literally almost do nothing but press the fire button as enemies round the corner and backpedal as they advance down the hall...Y'know how they made it more difficult in RE4? Now your gun has natural sway since it's impossible for an actual human to remain perfectly still while aiming and you can't move...thus making it more complicated...motion and combat are just separated in RE4's system...

Nah. The best way is to shoot a Ganado from far away to make it chase you, then go to the village entrance. After that, kill the Ganado that you triggered to start the siege. If you're at the village entrance, the 3 Ganados won't spawn and you can just wait until they get close, shoot one in the head and kick a lot of them. Chainsaws won't spawn, only one enemy direction, lots of damage with minimal gun usage.

One thing They did explain in the game that Luis Sera had taken medication to resist the Plagas infection. There is a note that says they tried to infect him, but to no avail because he took that medicine to kill the plagas before it hatched. They had to wait till the medicine ran through his system completely before they can infect him again. As for the executioner. I just assumed that the infection was taking too long and decided to just end him. I guess they had a plan to have Leon save Ashley, pretend to be the hero, and then help Saddler take over America, but later figured "Hey, why bother? Kill him and make a better plan."

Also the other problem Act-man talks about, the fact that Menendez attacks you after letting you go, first he is not your friend, he even just told you that if you keep poking there would be severe consequences and I guess following him around would be enough to make him mad, I mean is not like the ganados stopped attacking after that, also since it's an extra cutscene I give it more leeway because it's not something everyone will experience in their first playthrough.

Words can barely describe how much I love this game. Back in middle school, I had exactly one friend. That one friend introduced me to this game. It was my first "shooter", my first and only horror game ( as I'm usually too scared to enjoy horror game) and we played this game like there was no tomorrow. On one safe file, I beat the game around 20 times becuase I was so addicted, my friend and I spent days at my place to grind the mercenaries mode or to upgrade every single weapon there was. Few games bring me as much nostalgia as RE4 does, which is why I was so excited for the remake and I am so amazed by how amazing it turned out. So much love goes out to the developers and to you, act man, for putting together this extensive video

The first four games of this series were so good I still remember exactly where I was and who I was with when I first played them.

Yeah hopefully they go back to third person..i think that would save the franchise
