      Which is kinda funny how the development of the original went through like 4 or 5 builds and nearly all of them being tossed out.
      Ending up creating 3 new IPs.
      So with an even shorter deadline due to them not knowing wht to do with the game. They just wrote the overall layout of the story's script within 3 days, threw in some ideas pulled from prev builds and just slapped them all together. lol
      Pretty impressive and amusing how some of the beloved games just come from a "Fuck it" attitude.

      The story isn't anything to bat an eyelash at. That why the new titles are still so meh. Gameplay is what Resident Evil has always been about. The survival horror feeling you get which was destroyed by 4. $ and onwards could be titles under a different or new ip and it wouldn't have made a difference. They are just generic over the shoulder action games now which there are a million. 4 only did well because it was a pioneer into that style of play. Something based on fixed camera would be nice, we haven't had anything like that in forever. The level of horror they could manufacture with todays tech would be unimaginable.

      My friend and I actually discussed the exact same idea the other day while playing the game. It would've been a cool mechanic if you could give Ashley one of the knives you find throughout the game. If she got grabbed, she could use the knife to temporarily stun the enemy and get away. This, of course, would completely deplete the knife's durability. It's not a big deal that they didn't include it, but I think it would've been a nice mechanic and would've made sense for Leon to give Ashley a weapon to defend herself (and it makes more sense than giving her a gun).

    I cannot be the only one that feels the original's atmosphere remains superior, even to this day. Don't get me wrong, the Remake did an outstanding job with every setting, everything looks like a picture and all, but I loved how in the original everything looks and feels... dead. I don't know if this was intentional, but there's something about those sepia-like colors that make me feel like it's more coherent with the setting, at least in the Village. It brings you down, and makes you feel hopeless, or at edge. I honestly think that while the Remake is excellent, and this may sound weird, but it doesn't do anything for me!

    This was cool 👍 I would love to see a comparison with this brand new official AAA remake and the RE4HD Project mod that was released a few years back for the original PC version. It's an incredible achievement in modding (better than most professional HD remakes ever made) and I think it looks very modern and sooo much closer to the new game, compared to Capcoms original "HD" PC effort that you compare here. With the bonus of keeping all the original game play, controls and original script intact. Totally preserving the original feel that made it a classic/masterpiece, plus it still includes all the cheesy stuff! 😅

    Can people please be honest about this "remake"?
    It was a 75% graphics upgrade, with a few additions/removals/move-arounds to the map.
    Sure, I had fun playing this game again. But that's exactly what it felt like, like I was re-playing the same game as before with some minor improvements.
    Everyone is treating this like it's one of the best games ever made. So I'm assuming there's a good chance many of those people have either never played the entire original game or haven't played it at all.

    With the remake, ill get a lot of hate comments but he looks so emotional distant and gloomy, and in some cutscenes i would of thought he was a villain at some points because of how serious they tried to make him with his face. He’s definitely not the guy you’d want to hang with cause he’d probably wouldn’t shut up about his past lmao again no offence.

    The RPG room and cage room in the castle level were areas i was worried about in the remake, i like them but those rooms would've been quite a challenge with how the remake plays. Overall i really enjoyed the remake and i can always go back to the updated classic. The first thing i did playing the remake was to replace the new ost with the classic, the evil malaise soundtrack just fit so damn good during the sections it played at. Played through it on hardcore and have to say, it feels like they've made ammo less common despite the gunpowder and resources to craft some. The classic strategy didn't work out as great as in the original and i even had to sell guns and try different ones. The room at 25:12 was hard due to ammo.

    • @BlakeAter
      @BlakeAter Рік тому +2

      Think the "poverty" system still applies from the original. So if you have surplus ammo the game is more likely to give you ptas instead of ammo. Not sure if the REmake engine counts gunpowder and resources too. So might be better to break barrels/pots/boxes when you're actually strapped for ammo or store/sell the weapon you hardly use to increase the chances for needed ammo of the weapon type. There's definitely guaranteed spawn types too just like how it was in the Original so can plan/hoard around those.

    I really like the Remake, but I personally am also disappointed that so many memorable moments & areas were cut. I personally would have preferred they kept some of them in. Some needed change, but some were just a detriment. For example, when heading up to fight Salazar, you took the tram-cars, which was a enjoyable experience. This led you to the path up to the barn where you fight Salazar and you could see the barn as you approached. In the Remake, you just arrive there, which just feels random & cheap, imho.

    I am enjoying it alot, but feel like its missing some of the charm and horror from the original.
    Especially the village after you first meet ashley, the darkness and suspense of that area used to scare the crap out of me.
    And then the gondola ride before the big cheese boss fight.
    I was kind of bummed out that wasnt in the game.
    The fortress area after the cabin fight was different too, but it wasnt horrible by any means.

    please also note, the pc version has three different releases from two different studios, the first two is released by Ubisoft witch is unfortunate, the last one before the remake is from qloc which did the 8th generation portish

      That’s strange, considering that the remake has more puzzles than the original by far.
      I personally prefer the remake, thanks to the new parry system, expanded gun range, stealth mechanics, new treasure combining system, new gore system, side quests, and more fleshed out characters/ story. To each their own!

    With the newer systems, I would have loved to see some improved ragdoll deaths and also pretty bummed they didn’t make the lake monster Del Lago kill Leon in a more gruesome death (instead just implying his death now).
    It also seems they made the game shorter with cutting some stages and boss fights.
    Overall though it’s mostly an improved enjoyable experience that I’m exciting to be replaying like I would the original!

      Most of the stuff that was cut was probably necessary, like the fight with UH-3(I think that's it) it was pretty random and had no tie ins but is gonna be in the DLC

      If RE5 gets remake they will probably change a lot of the story or gameplay element.. I see they are looking to connect the remakes to fit with re7 narrative

    The original will always have a special place in my heart. So I'm a bit disappointed that the remake removed a lot of the silliness and charm, but it's still a great game. These are both good versions of RE4 with their own strengths and weaknesses

    of course Ashley looked younger in the OG, they used the Sherry's polygonal model at the last minute, that proves that Leon was supposed to go rescue Sherry and not Ashley and it would've made more sense considering the RE3 epilogues and what the Wesker's report says...

    I think it's funny that The evil within was heavy influenced by original RE4. I know that it's the same creator. And now in the RE4R it takes elements from The evil within. Like the stealth and the crossbow.

    It still has the action flick from a B-movie, but what changed was the atmosphere true to its survival horror genre.
