      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!

    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.

    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.

      @@MartinBueno-xf3hc Odd thing to say. Just because they dialed back the cartoonish BS doesn’t disqualify Leon from being a cool guy. Look, I love a cheesy movie like Evil Dead on occasion, but the original RE 4 was cheesy to the point of being a flaw. It was way too much. The remake manages to keep enough cheese to evoke classic RE 4 sometimes, but not so much as to outright kill anyone with lactose intolerance. They balanced it pretty well.

    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.
    With all of that said, the improvements in the remake are really good and i am glad i am playing it.

    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.

      @@blueflare3848 From the video, it looks very much like at the beginning, they arrive at night, with the car having lights on, and as he walks thru the forest, it's quite dark. Even if it's at dusk/evening, it's certainly much darker-appearing than the original!

      @@ThomasKrul It's light outside by the time he reaches the village. It didn't take him all night to get there, that's just absurd. The intro takes place in the early morning, right before the sun comes up. I mean, it's still dark at three o'clock in the morning in real life, but that doesn't mean it's night time.

    Great job! Thank you for your time and effort! I still prefer the original with all its charm, the wit and the puzzles! 😊

      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!

    I prefer Leon's resident evil 4 look over the remake. He reminds me of that teen actor from Terminator 2 : judgement day.

    Both the original, and remake, I believe did escort missions justice. Even in the basic RE4 Ashley does her best to stay behind you, and even ducks if you aim a weapon towards her direction.
    Most games that have escorts. The rescued hostage usually has a bad habit of the following, NOT keeping while running, blocks doors, and worst of all get get right in your face and get in the way when you need to attack or fire weapon.
    RE4 Never really had that problem. While I do agree the remake improved it. Remember, in the old, you can make Ashley hide in a dumpster. Until the fight is over! Lol

    Its almost two different games 👍 But i payed the GC Original at his release, 2 Months after the PS2 Version. And those two versions had also they differences. As example BearTraps and enemy’s was different placed in both versions.
