The remake has more accurate spanish accents, but as a spanish myself it was hilarious how in the original they put hispanoamerican accents without a second thought.
it's the typical mistake you'd see in a cheap straight-to-tv b movie. not sure that was the intention, but since the og re4 was going for that campiness to begin with, it worked well in their favor.
@@bottomlefto Even if the intention was to have that campiness feeling, I assure you that you won't hear native spanish people talking like a hispanoamerican anywhere in Spain.
I agree they got the accents more accurate on the remake. I still don't like when the enemies yell "Muerte". In the original the red zellet would yell "MATALO" which makes more sense. It would be like yelling death! Instead of kill him!
I love both versions. OG Leon is just in full on cheesy action hero mode and cannot wait to spout his one liners. He’s a ton of fun and very memorable. He played right into the over the top nature of the villains he encounters like he does this every day. Remake Leon is more consistent with his character from 2, which is something his version actually does do better than the original. He’s kinda jaded and totally over these megalomaniacal assholes and his humour comes from not being amused at all. His reading of “Who the HELL are you?” when he meets Salazar is both appropriate and hilarious. He’s like the straight man who gets the best lines and it totally works.
I argue the gap from the RE2 to RE4 makes the change more like a progression. The remake really keeps Leon blunt, despite his experiences with this world.
I love OG Leon, but I favor the Remake version more this time around. Mostly because we now have a back story about his training, about Krauser. I also like the more serious and mature attitude but with a little comedy, too. I almost cried when the Remake added the "bingo" iconic line. But there are some things I miss from OG, like Ada's "Need a ride, Handsome?", the knife in Salazars hand, the laser room. Also, I don't hate Ada's VA, but it feels off. She is supposed to have a sexy, sultry voice and attitude. She is a Femme Fatale for God's sake.
Exactly. Imo the remake was perfect with how realistic leon reacted to certain situations while still having some of the cheesy one liners but it blended well with the ongoing gameplay. People fr need to stop bitchin. Possible GOTY again
@@reinerbraun4504 nah he’s right. The new voice for Ada kinda sucks. It’s not really the VOICE I mean,but the voice actor,she sounds like she’s not even trying and is just reading the script.
It's hard to pick one because the remake Leon makes more sense given the context of the situation but og Leon is so unserious in such an iconic way that he makes the oneliners and cheesy lines so fun
@@Pillshere31 yeah I know but og Leon had it in both, just that we didn't hear it with his voice outside of the cutlines, but whenever you interact with something in the og Leon has a sarcastic or cheesy comment. Remake Leon does some comments but way less than og Leon
looool yeah, i mean blud just survived the battle against a big weirdass fish, a titan and a scorpion tip-toe dancer missionary, and now he sees a victorian midget welcoming him. i might do the same 🤣
It’s in the same beautiful vein of Ethan Winters’ “F*** you, you crazy b****!” Capcom is doing a better job of remembering that most RE protagonists are Americans with guns who are focused on survival and don’t care about the deeper mysteries and horror of the world they inhabit. That’s true to how people irl would act, thus I end up enjoying the modern era of RE (Everything since 2017, including 7, the Remakes for 2 and 3, 8, and the Remake for 4) the most for its commitment to realism and true drama over the campy comedies of old (some of which included hurtful micro-aggressions, such as “*Sigh* Women” and “Guess that’s the locals’ way of breaking the ice”)
That is the most realistic reaction you could have after having gone through the batsh!t insanity to get there and being faced with this goofy dwarf mf
"Yeah, fat chance, Ramon" can never compete or stand at the same position and legacy as "No thanks, bro" ever did. It even stayed as an achievement's title for the remake when defeating Salazar, that's how iconic it can be.
I'm going to give the crown to Paul Mercier for not only being a great and memorable Leon, but also for giving The Merchant an iconic voice in the same game, as well. That is some impressive range!

It's called remake for a reason not a remaster but these people seem not to understand it after all
@@wlot28 You must love the "conversation" scene from Transformers: Age of Extinction, where the forgettable Kelsey Grammer villain and Lockdown are throwing bumper-sticker slogans past each other.
2:55 I always thought the "You got a smoke?" question was a code phrase, so Luis would know if someone he met was working with his contacts or just a random person.
Thats why "i got gum" og line is so funny and innocent. but the remake totally changes the context with emotional payoff with his new line. it depends which one u prefer: a laugh or emotional growth.-
These people got conditioned on watching saturday morning cartoons vibe of Resident Evil 4 and CV, well 80's and 90's were cool and awesome, but the new approach feels a breath of fresh air
I like how the OG leon was more "comedic" and the new leon is more "emotional and mature" both have amazing additions to the game in their own way, can't really say the same for OG Luis, I feel the new Luis had both more character development and story relevance, if you took away Luis from the OG game the story could carry out normally, also I feel the new Luis is more of someone you can identify with emotionally, I also liked OG Ramón more than the remake one, I find him to be a bland compared to the original
I love that original Leon seemed to be having the time of his life throughout his little adventure, whereas new Leon is just completely fed up with everything.
Something I noticed is how many people (back then too) complained about Ashley being a damsel in distress. Which.. yeah. The point is she's a college student with an important figure of a Dad, making her a target so people can get to her Dad through her. I mean if I was yoinked right now by a bunch of creepy people with bags over their heads and a guy saying he talks to God, I would do a whole lot of crying and running away. That's traumatizing as hell. Not to Claire because she's used to being raised in rough conditions, Ada was trained for stuff like this. Ashley is your everyday person, of course she'd freak out a lot
@@mickeymickey9914 I'm sorry you've been made to feel like you'd run and cry, like you HAVE to. I hope, if you're ever in a bad situation, you don't melt into a sniveling puddle and sit around waiting for someone to come along and take pity on you--then scream and shriek and demand special treatment if they do.
FR mfs act like shes supposed to start throwing punches in a life and death situation when she has no training in it, and plus all of this shit looks traumatic. I bet if any of these commenters were in the same situation they’d probably lose their shit and be unable to do anything like 💀💀💀 running away is a complete valid response
I'm glad they got Nick to reprise his role as Leon. It helps show Leon's growth from Res2, more naturally. I do find it funny how they used Leon's A scenario from re2make. But honestly, it flows better. Having Leon learn from Marvin. Aswell as Leon holding on to Marvin's knife. Is a nice touch.
@@cafs99 cause her VA is in a union and Capcom didn't want the "hassle". So they got Ada's actress from the live action show whom has never done any voice acting until this game
Nick even made RE4 (remake) Leon sound more bitter...Maturing/deepening the voice is easy, but he actually sounded more jaded and bitter; that's a hard micro-change.
Eh...it's not realistic. In this one you can feel the fear & tension of Leon when he sees Mendez that he immediately draws his gun because he's so intimidating.
I played the original game when I was 10 years old, and I didn't understand English at all at that time. I actually never knew Leon was really goofy, and I always thought he was badass from all the gestures and body language. It wasn't until I replayed the original two years ago that I realized he was always goofy. I was actually laughing at most of the OG cutscenes from Leon's lines. I love it.
One of the few problems I have with the remake is the removal of the bad guys hacking into your communications. While Leon still gets to have a couple back-and-forths with Salazar, it's not nearly as often as it used to be, and Saddler as a result feels less present. I like the bits where Leon sees Saddler through the Plagas mind control stuff, but again, it wasn't enough to give him much depth.
imo Saddler was the worst thing about this remake. He was caricaturish Ralph Fiennes playing Voldemort with a nose...and appearing in visions and then that crap boss fight.
Honestly I agree. RE4 Remake was how I entered the Resident Evil series and got into a lot of the other games. After playing both the original and remake they both are amazing in their own ways. It honestly annoys me that everywhere I go there's a war over which one's better or which one's bad. There are definitely some things in the original that had charm (examples being the dialogue and voices), and there were definitely some things that the remake improved from the original (example being Luis and Ashley's characterizations). They're both really awesome. Sure they both have their issues, but I don't think there's a single game I've played that doesn't have something that could be better or improved. The graphics look great in both, there's amazing dialogue moments in both, there's solid voice acting, and they're both fun to play. I'd even dare say that the remake is one of my favorite games I've ever played. (I haven't gotten entirely through the og yet so I can't give much of a verdict yet.) So yeah, there's my overly long explanation of why they're both the greatest games of all time to me.
My only issue with the remake is Ramon. He's easily one of the most memorable villains in the original game, everything from his outfit, the way he looks, talks and presents himself is so campy and funny. The back and forth between Leon and him is great. The remake version is dull compared to the original, but I understand why they made the changes they did.
he is a castelian, so its actually fair if he behaves as one. as much as i love the memorable moments from OG, he was just a spoiled brat in the original. now he has more dignity as a castle owner. which is much better for the lore sake, but then again, yeah Ramon was legendary in OG, speaking of memorable stuffs
Shoulda included the scene where 2005 Leon ninja throws the knife into Salazar's hand as he was monologuing to 2023 Leon shooting lead into Salazar without giving him a chance of monologuing. I do appreciate more with 2023 Leon's proactiveness and sense of urgency given the crazy situations he's in.
Honestly couldn’t be more happier with the remake, it’s the definitive way to experience this story. Sure I missed out on the OG great experience but going in blind into the remake kept me on edge of my seat eager to find out what happens next cause I don’t know the story beats or everything that happened in the OG Re4, so no spoilers for me, I get to experience this badass story for the first time and it was magical! I also don’t need to constantly compare it to the OG about which is better cause the remake was Perfect imo. Nostalgia didn’t dilute my experience with the remake.
@@sal4731 How the heck can you say "it’s the definitive way to experience this story" if you didn't even play the original? o.O That makes absolutely zero sense..
After being introduced through resident evil bc of the remakes, playing resi6 was hard enough on it’s on, let alone going back to play the original 4… although i’m 20 my family never let me get into gaming till i was like 15 bc they were super strict about letting me game. resident evil was DEFINITELY out of the question for that 😂
@@sokol5805 I wouldn't say boring, I would say more serious, even though I preffer the OG one a lot more (just like krauser, ramon, ada, luis, saddler and wesker -and their voices-)
Frankly, to me anyway, the remake is just RE4-2. Once I beat the remake, I wanted to play it over again but also wanted to replay the original and what I found is the original still holds up extremely well. Maybe newer players will find the originals controls a little clunky, but I encourage people to play the original and remake back to back, they are literally the best games capcom has ever made and they both deserve the praise and respect they both get and are getting. Seeing the changes and what they keep the same is very fun, adds to them both.
@@_dibbs I have full nostalgia goggles for the original so I agree but I can’t deny I had similar feelings when playing the remake, like the opening village assault, really made me feel that excitement I did when playing the original for the first time. They really are both masterpieces and if new players are coming to the remake, never having played the original, I honestly think it’s almost a requirement to play them back to back. Having the original or remake be a companion piece for the other you play first.
Honestly, I feel the complete same which is why I really enjoyed both the original and the remake. It still makes playing the original worth it to find those differences between OG and the remake. But we also get similarities with the remake and something new. So I love the fact that they’re both similar and different
The OG put emphasis on Leon on "your another mission" and romnticism and other dramatic scenes (hence lots of wide shots) while the remake focuses more on modernisation and realism and alignment with other remakes and spin off stories (Leon becomes a more traumatised survivor of raccoon and umbrella). In short, in my humble opinion the OG is the upbeat and turnaround of classic RE while the Remake is another remake of RE
I personally love how they handled Leon’s character in the remake. His sharp wit and dry sense of humor are still very much intact. His voice is absolutely dripping with sarcasm. At the same time, they did a fantastic job making him feel more human this time around. In scenes such as after he kills Krauser, or during the scene when he finds Ashley and sits next to the bed while he waits for her to wake up, you can tell that the weight of everything is starting to get to him. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t have time to dwell on these thoughts and instead has to push them aside and focus on the mission. Unlike the original, it feels like he’s trying not to let things bother him because he can’t afford to, not because he doesn’t care.
And personally I feel that’s the problem with a lot of games and media. Not everything has to be realistic and easily relatable. One of my Biggest gripes about the remake was just how damn depressing and miserable the atmosphere was and it just felt like Leon was whining like a 5yo about everything. I’m not saying the original is better in every way. I do like updates like Ashley not being annoying for one. The combat system. The gem system etc. there’s a ton of great additions. However. Coming back as an Original massive fan of Re4 it was just. Depressing playing as Leon that was just miserable the entire time. Life is already miserable, I don’t need to play the Re4 version of the Last of Us. If I wanted depression from my video games I would play literally ANY Yoko Taro game since any is guaranteed to be 10 billion % uber depressing as fuck. 😂 like Automata. “oh are you having fun with big ass android girl? Well have some identity crisis suffering robot you have to murder and watch everything and everyone you meet just fucking die in the most gruesome way possible”.
I’m also not saying your opinions are invalid. Far from it. :0 It’s merely just me expressing my own thoughts so I do apologize if I came across as insulting of your opinion.
@@DarkEclipse23 I wouldn't say Leon acts depressed, but rather...more grounded. He takes things seriously when necessary, but his sarcasm and dry sense of humor are still intact. I like the fact that we can see how much his trauma has taken a toll on him over the years. He's riddled with PTSD and survivor's guilt. It adds more depth to his character and makes him feel more believable. To be honest, I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I personally like when a form of media, whether it's a video game or a TV show or a movie, knows when it needs to be taken seriously. It makes the stakes feel higher, which I think was lacking in the original (but I also know that the light-hearted tone and cheesiness of the original is what people love about it). As a long time fan of the original, I like both games almost equally, but I do have a slight preference for the remake. I like how the story and characters were handled. Also, you're good, and I appreciate that you didn't come here looking for an argument or insulting my opinion. I know that people have their own gripes and nitpicks with the remake, and that's fine. What I can’t stand is when people jump on the "soulless" argument bandwagon as though there are absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's fine to have a preference for the original, but the people who act like no effort went into the remake or that it didn't make improvements to the original are in denial.
I would love it if in just a non-canon comic or animation, both Leon’s meet during the mission. There differences would be so funny to see when together.
OG leon gives off more of a "If I can't beat the crazies, I guess I'll just join them and have fun too" kind of guy, while remake Leon gives off more of a dry, sarcastic and done with everyone's shit attitude. I like OG Leon because he just plays along with the craziness that's happening in front of him, but I also like the remake portrayal of Leon who's done with everyone's shit as it's very realistic and is a better development if they are trying to aim for a disillusioned Leon for future games.
4:02 i love this exchange so much. It's like Luis invited leon over to smoke weed after school but leon brought a girl and luis wants to make sure she's not gonna tell.
I love the remake. They still kept some of the cheese, but refined everything else and added a serious tone to it all. Both the original and remake are a blast!
OG Leon and Ramon matched eachother's freak when it came to one liners, made him the most memorable villain from that game even though he's not the big bad
2023 Leon is a tad too brooding and his one liners are spoken with too much irony, but he does react to events far more realistically. 2005 Leon is an cheeseball action hero who seems out of place in this gory tale of cults and parasites, but his swagger is unassailable. Dude is just a badass in every sense. I think 2005 Leon edges it out.
Honestly, I kind of feel like Paul Mercier's performance as Leon in Resident Evil 4 could have helped contribute to its long-standing popularity. Aside from his voice perfectly matching Leon's character model and build, he rarely, if ever, shows fear for the various monstrosities he comes across, and seems fully confident in his own abilities, even when facing a setback. Makes the player feel like a world beater against all odds.
I didn't actually hear it the first time I played RE4 it wouldn't be until I replated again where I heard it, I think it was because of an audio glitch with my TV.
Both are super good... If leon use some more iconic line in the remake its gonna be masterpiece (in the quotes i mean not the gameplay/story its already masterpiece)
@@doomguydemonkilleras a whole yeah but I think he means those quips just became such a big part of Leon's character and in the new one everything is taken way more serious
@@joaolima7131 yeah but his tone is different and the quips aren't as fun. He says them with less sarcasm and well it fits for this game as it is more serious but then they do add classic lines and they feel weird like the bingo one. I do like the one where he says cigarettes will kill you. That seems like something this Leon would say
Both Leons are up to the standards of B movies. It's just what ERA of B movies that are different, 2005 Leon is from the Bruce Campbell era. While 2023 Leon is from the Sharknado era of B movies
Omg I love Sharknado and am entirely too ypung to know whatever the other one is... Coincidentally I love the remake way more than the original soI'd say they hit the time periodical nail on the head :)
@@avocadothecat If you like Sharknado, the Evil Dead and Army of Darkness Bruce Campbell films might be a fun and interesting watch. They’re like the precursors to the cheesy horror films we get nowadays. Super ridiculous, badass but stupid at the same time, great films.
True, but even though I think his og face is more handsome, I like the newer one better because it makes him more unique. More human, having little flaws in his features instead of being a Ken you get me? He's more interesting to look at now
@@GutPoacherI can agree that the remake Leon looks realistic. But he looks average imo. However, I still prefer looking at that gorgeous face of the og Leon! 😍🤭
The thing I find fun about all these remakes is that when watching them side by side they feel like the cool summer blockbuster you've seen as a kid and its nostalgic tie-in ps2 movie game
I honestly prefer the original as far as quips and one-liners go but the remake also does a pretty good job. A bit sad they had to remove some iconic lines but I understand that they wouldn't have fitted the darker theme of this remake
Remake Leon doesn't disappoint, he's way more serious and obviously suffering from PTSD but he's still got some of that charm original Leon has. Nick is the perfect remake Leon, Paul is the perfect classic Leon and Merchant. Both make the character so much more cool and loveable. I love the remake as much as the original. Both have different tones but work perfectly. Some of the one-liners from the remake are great. But OG Leon will always be the best Leon for me personally, it's cause of his cheesy and fun character portrayal in OG that his popularity in the series grew. He has the most memorable lines and moments except for the bizarre John wick moments from Remake leon.
SAAAAAME like remake leon is so likably as a real life person and as much as i love the the og lines, if i heard themnin real life i wouldn't find them hilarious the way i do when i watch them in the oh. However, the new lines are lnes i would expect to hear in real life and make me crack xDD
Honestly as I've grown up the remake is more enjoyable to me. I'll have nostalgia for "Saddler, you're small time" but as an adult I find more humor in something like "Sorry, didn't know that was yours" (as the Bella sister grabs the crank handle he needs)
I honestly like how the remake doesn't entirely outdate the original, I can see myself playing it for nostalgia some time from now still and have just as much of a blast as I do right now with the remake. Leon in the original was campy, funny and over-the-top. Leon in the remake is a little broody and a smartass, while little more grounded as the plot has been made a lot darker and little more serious. I'd argue he is a lot more endearing in the remake as he doesn't really feel so invincible as he did in the original, but both takes are great and fit the game and the pacing perfectly. Also P. Mercier did not disappoint and delivered a stellar VA for him AND the merchant.
In my head cannon the events of the OG Game actually happened and Leon spoke to some Director at a bar while he was drunk then inspired the Director to make a Movie about the events but made the Film more believable because he was thinking to himself there's no way this guy kept his cool throughout the entire events of what happened on his mission.
There’s a shit ton of campy dialogue in-game within the remake. Also, Resident Evil was never originally as campy as RE4. Most of that personality was copied from American action movies that were generic at that time
Man graphics keep improving, it's so wild. REmake 4 cutscenes look like a movie! They're so tonally heavy too. They seemed to have done a great job based on comments I've seen; I haven't watched gameplay yet.

I love both versions. OG Leon is just in full on cheesy action hero mode and cannot wait to spout his one liners. He’s a ton of fun and very memorable. He played right into the over the top nature of the villains he encounters like he does this every day.
Remake Leon is more consistent with his character from 2, which is something his version actually does do better than the original. He’s kinda jaded and totally over these megalomaniacal assholes and his humour comes from not being amused at all. His reading of “Who the HELL are you?” when he meets Salazar is both appropriate and hilarious. He’s like the straight man who gets the best lines and it totally works.
The remake isn’t bad at all it’s just that the original has way more charm.
Yeah, I LOVE the delivery of, "Who -the HELL- are you?" So much
Gave me a good chuckle.
I argue the gap from the RE2 to RE4 makes the change more like a progression. The remake really keeps Leon blunt, despite his experiences with this world.
His best line imo, but the "No thanks.... bro" was hilarious too

I actually love when you first meet Salazar in the Remake, Leon looked so tired of all the BS and was like “Who. The hell. Are you?” Lmao
looool yeah, i mean blud just survived the battle against a big weirdass fish, a titan and a scorpion tip-toe dancer missionary, and now he sees a victorian midget welcoming him. i might do the same 🤣
It’s in the same beautiful vein of Ethan Winters’ “F*** you, you crazy b****!” Capcom is doing a better job of remembering that most RE protagonists are Americans with guns who are focused on survival and don’t care about the deeper mysteries and horror of the world they inhabit. That’s true to how people irl would act, thus I end up enjoying the modern era of RE (Everything since 2017, including 7, the Remakes for 2 and 3, 8, and the Remake for 4) the most for its commitment to realism and true drama over the campy comedies of old (some of which included hurtful micro-aggressions, such as “*Sigh* Women” and “Guess that’s the locals’ way of breaking the ice”)
@@SomebodywithaUA-camaccount imagine using the term micro-aggressions unironically.
@@tortyreus2384 You've won this round
That is the most realistic reaction you could have after having gone through the batsh!t insanity to get there and being faced with this goofy dwarf mf
"Yeah, fat chance, Ramon" can never compete or stand at the same position and legacy as "No thanks, bro" ever did. It even stayed as an achievement's title for the remake when defeating Salazar, that's how iconic it can be.
"Fat chance, Ramone" is still pretty good on it's own.
It stayed as an achievement cuz some people like you would of been complaining about it
@@slayer8790 Yeah for real, Jesus. If the game doesn’t follow the goddamn original 1:1 these fuckers freak out about it.
@@dignusdingus3709 yeah, and the way he said "Ramón" was so like "i dont give a shit who you are man" 😂
but no thanks bro is just dumb
*"Guess your tapdancing days are over"* is probably one of the best one liners in the remake
Just imagine the vivid image of Big Cheese in his stylish hat and long jacket doing a tap dance.
I laughed so much at that one
It actually made freaking SENSE, and it didn't feel like Leon just saying anything in a desperate attempt to get the last word.
"Give my regards to your God" thats the one for me
"What are you, my mother?" Caught me off guard 😂
I'm going to give the crown to Paul Mercier for not only being a great and memorable Leon, but also for giving The Merchant an iconic voice in the same game, as well. That is some impressive range!
Yes right OG is better than remake cut content and changes o

Nice logic bro 😂

2:55 I always thought the "You got a smoke?" question was a code phrase, so Luis would know if someone he met was working with his contacts or just a random person.
I think it is. According to the emails in Luis's laboratory on the remake, Ada mentions a code of some kind, so I assume that's what she meant.
Thats why "i got gum" og line is so funny and innocent.
but the remake totally changes the context with emotional payoff with his new line. it depends which one u prefer: a laugh or emotional growth.-
Ohhhhh he asks Ada the same thing and she replies "yes, the kind you like." I get it now! Thanks!
You think too much lol
@@familyneves9777 It took me until just now to realize that the A.W he sent the email to could've been Ada Wong. My first thought was Albert Wesker.
I thought the new Leon did great. However I know people will always have a soft spot for the OG, and rightfully so.
They both did good in different ways. It's nice having two different takes on it. Gives you incentives to (continue) play both games.
@@EX7Sonic yessir
These people got conditioned on watching saturday morning cartoons vibe of Resident Evil 4 and CV, well 80's and 90's were cool and awesome, but the new approach feels a breath of fresh air
The OG Leon voice actor is ironically the “new voice” of Leon
@@timeplayparadox I am confused by what you mean.
I like how the OG leon was more "comedic" and the new leon is more "emotional and mature" both have amazing additions to the game in their own way, can't really say the same for OG Luis, I feel the new Luis had both more character development and story relevance, if you took away Luis from the OG game the story could carry out normally, also I feel the new Luis is more of someone you can identify with emotionally, I also liked OG Ramón more than the remake one, I find him to be a bland compared to the original
I like your comment bud
I agree with everything you said
Remake or og we know what happens to Luis. And the story caries on normally. What are you a women? Muh emotions.
@@sokol5805 luis's death in the remake is very tragic since he was killed by Leon's old teammate whereas in the original he was killed by Saddler.
@@V0RTA Who gives a f. The main plot was to save Ashley they added useless drama for nothing.
I love that original Leon seemed to be having the time of his life throughout his little adventure, whereas new Leon is just completely fed up with everything.
Leon in the remake is definitely more pissed off but he is suprisingly still light hearted at times
You can really hear how fed up he is in that “who the HELL are you” 😂😂
Something I noticed is how many people (back then too) complained about Ashley being a damsel in distress. Which.. yeah. The point is she's a college student with an important figure of a Dad, making her a target so people can get to her Dad through her. I mean if I was yoinked right now by a bunch of creepy people with bags over their heads and a guy saying he talks to God, I would do a whole lot of crying and running away. That's traumatizing as hell. Not to Claire because she's used to being raised in rough conditions, Ada was trained for stuff like this. Ashley is your everyday person, of course she'd freak out a lot

6:45 the most legendary dialogue in gaming.
I'm glad they got Nick to reprise his role as Leon. It helps show Leon's growth from Res2, more naturally.
I do find it funny how they used Leon's A scenario from re2make. But honestly, it flows better.
Having Leon learn from Marvin. Aswell as Leon holding on to Marvin's knife. Is a nice touch.
wonder why they didnt get the Ada from Remake 2, i really dont like the new one
@@cafs99 Yeh her new voice threw me off
@@cafs99 cause her VA is in a union and Capcom didn't want the "hassle". So they got Ada's actress from the live action show whom has never done any voice acting until this game
Original Leon has more charisma and part of that is thanks to Paul Mercier. Nick is better as a youngster and inexperienced Leon
Nick even made RE4 (remake) Leon sound more bitter...Maturing/deepening the voice is easy, but he actually sounded more jaded and bitter; that's a hard micro-change.
"You're a shitty missionary, you know that?" Is such an underrated line.
I've even referred to Mendez in that manner because of that line.
frr
I prefer the kick that Leon throws at the big cheese. Goofy but satisfying
Eh...it's not realistic. In this one you can feel the fear & tension of Leon when he sees Mendez that he immediately draws his gun because he's so intimidating.
@@Shadowman9348 I love what they did with the graphics and everything else. Just wish they kept at least some swagger from the previous RE4.
@Rick Ross Me and many others - that's who.
Yes right OG is better
@Rick Ross yes thank you RE was never all about being REAL REAL REAL was not about that AND RE4 OG knew re is not always serious
2:29
Luis: Perfect. The big *CHEEZ.*
Leon: WHAT?!
*Proceeds to kick him and get absolutely destroyed*
7:52 that little smirk was a nice touch.
Ashley be like: ya heard that bitch
I played the original game when I was 10 years old, and I didn't understand English at all at that time. I actually never knew Leon was really goofy, and I always thought he was badass from all the gestures and body language. It wasn't until I replayed the original two years ago that I realized he was always goofy. I was actually laughing at most of the OG cutscenes from Leon's lines. I love it.
And so the synergy of badass AND goofy wad born
that was a personality that made an impression🤣
Stick to yourself. You don't need internet to say what things are or aren't. OG leon IS badass.
One of the few problems I have with the remake is the removal of the bad guys hacking into your communications. While Leon still gets to have a couple back-and-forths with Salazar, it's not nearly as often as it used to be, and Saddler as a result feels less present. I like the bits where Leon sees Saddler through the Plagas mind control stuff, but again, it wasn't enough to give him much depth.
imo Saddler was the worst thing about this remake. He was caricaturish Ralph Fiennes playing Voldemort with a nose...and appearing in visions and then that crap boss fight.
@@billybro1403 i actually prefer the remake boss fight the OG one.
They took one of the greatest games of all time and remade it into one of the greatest games of all time
the former is true the latter is a reach, even though remake is very entertaining
@NutsTheJerkernostalgia bro, only they
Honestly I agree. RE4 Remake was how I entered the Resident Evil series and got into a lot of the other games. After playing both the original and remake they both are amazing in their own ways. It honestly annoys me that everywhere I go there's a war over which one's better or which one's bad.
There are definitely some things in the original that had charm (examples being the dialogue and voices), and there were definitely some things that the remake improved from the original (example being Luis and Ashley's characterizations).
They're both really awesome. Sure they both have their issues, but I don't think there's a single game I've played that doesn't have something that could be better or improved.
The graphics look great in both, there's amazing dialogue moments in both, there's solid voice acting, and they're both fun to play. I'd even dare say that the remake is one of my favorite games I've ever played. (I haven't gotten entirely through the og yet so I can't give much of a verdict yet.)
So yeah, there's my overly long explanation of why they're both the greatest games of all time to me.
@@billybro1403 ur saying it isn't one of the best games ever made? I swear, people act like two things can't coexist with each other
@@amaterasumaster8781just cry babies, literally one of my favorite games and I’ve never play the original re4
My only issue with the remake is Ramon. He's easily one of the most memorable villains in the original game, everything from his outfit, the way he looks, talks and presents himself is so campy and funny. The back and forth between Leon and him is great. The remake version is dull compared to the original, but I understand why they made the changes they did.
he is a castelian, so its actually fair if he behaves as one. as much as i love the memorable moments from OG, he was just a spoiled brat in the original. now he has more dignity as a castle owner. which is much better for the lore sake, but then again, yeah Ramon was legendary in OG, speaking of memorable stuffs
Ramon in the remake is an old small man with how much the parasite affected his body
@@Rizyah2804I mean royals can be immature too I’m sure
@@Rizyah2804 I mean in the original he isn't actually old, so his behaviour fit a spoiled brat pretty well
in the remake Luis pretends to go back to sleep after seeing leon get knocked out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I notice that too🤣🤣
Shit I thought he was like "Well there goes my only hope" and just goes back to sleep
I notice that too, Luis pretended to be asleep so that Mendez would not beat him up
I noticed that as well 😂😂
wait in what scene??
We all know OG RE4 Leon one liners are unmatched, instant classic.
Shoulda included the scene where 2005 Leon ninja throws the knife into Salazar's hand as he was monologuing to 2023 Leon shooting lead into Salazar without giving him a chance of monologuing.
I do appreciate more with 2023 Leon's proactiveness and sense of urgency given the crazy situations he's in.
Nah he just said "fuck you" and shot him 💀
Honestly I laughed when Leon just went straight for the headshot.
Yeah thats true. The lack of proactiveness in og leon had to be laughed away but made for memorable moments. The contrast makes both good now
7:03 Leon being called by his middle name 😮
Leon sounds so done when he talks to Ramon it's the funniest shit 😭😭😭
The remake is great, but god damn I feel bad for people who played the remake and never plan to play the original. Such an absolute master piece!
Im about to buy RE4 for my Switch Lite.
@@pityubokros Hope you enjoy
Honestly couldn’t be more happier with the remake, it’s the definitive way to experience this story. Sure I missed out on the OG great experience but going in blind into the remake kept me on edge of my seat eager to find out what happens next cause I don’t know the story beats or everything that happened in the OG Re4, so no spoilers for me, I get to experience this badass story for the first time and it was magical! I also don’t need to constantly compare it to the OG about which is better cause the remake was Perfect imo. Nostalgia didn’t dilute my experience with the remake.
@@sal4731 How the heck can you say "it’s the definitive way to experience this story" if you didn't even play the original? o.O That makes absolutely zero sense..
After being introduced through resident evil bc of the remakes, playing resi6 was hard enough on it’s on, let alone going back to play the original 4… although i’m 20 my family never let me get into gaming till i was like 15 bc they were super strict about letting me game. resident evil was DEFINITELY out of the question for that 😂

Frankly, to me anyway, the remake is just RE4-2. Once I beat the remake, I wanted to play it over again but also wanted to replay the original and what I found is the original still holds up extremely well. Maybe newer players will find the originals controls a little clunky, but I encourage people to play the original and remake back to back, they are literally the best games capcom has ever made and they both deserve the praise and respect they both get and are getting. Seeing the changes and what they keep the same is very fun, adds to them both.
they are both masterpieces, but it’s impossible to beat the og
@@_dibbs I have full nostalgia goggles for the original so I agree but I can’t deny I had similar feelings when playing the remake, like the opening village assault, really made me feel that excitement I did when playing the original for the first time. They really are both masterpieces and if new players are coming to the remake, never having played the original, I honestly think it’s almost a requirement to play them back to back. Having the original or remake be a companion piece for the other you play first.
Honestly, I feel the complete same which is why I really enjoyed both the original and the remake. It still makes playing the original worth it to find those differences between OG and the remake. But we also get similarities with the remake and something new. So I love the fact that they’re both similar and different
"If RE4 is so good, why there hasn't been a RE4-2?!"
There is now.
@@_dibbs Yes right OG is better than remake cut content and changes o
When you love both. I see nothing but gold on both sides.
The OG put emphasis on Leon on "your another mission" and romnticism and other dramatic scenes (hence lots of wide shots) while the remake focuses more on modernisation and realism and alignment with other remakes and spin off stories (Leon becomes a more traumatised survivor of raccoon and umbrella). In short, in my humble opinion the OG is the upbeat and turnaround of classic RE while the Remake is another remake of RE
OG Leon “Hold my beer. I got this.”
Remake Leon “Raccoon city was so traumatic… Also I got this”.
I personally love how they handled Leon’s character in the remake. His sharp wit and dry sense of humor are still very much intact. His voice is absolutely dripping with sarcasm. At the same time, they did a fantastic job making him feel more human this time around. In scenes such as after he kills Krauser, or during the scene when he finds Ashley and sits next to the bed while he waits for her to wake up, you can tell that the weight of everything is starting to get to him. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t have time to dwell on these thoughts and instead has to push them aside and focus on the mission. Unlike the original, it feels like he’s trying not to let things bother him because he can’t afford to, not because he doesn’t care.
And personally I feel that’s the problem with a lot of games and media. Not everything has to be realistic and easily relatable. One of my Biggest gripes about the remake was just how damn depressing and miserable the atmosphere was and it just felt like Leon was whining like a 5yo about everything.
I’m not saying the original is better in every way. I do like updates like Ashley not being annoying for one. The combat system. The gem system etc. there’s a ton of great additions.
However. Coming back as an Original massive fan of Re4 it was just. Depressing playing as Leon that was just miserable the entire time. Life is already miserable, I don’t need to play the Re4 version of the Last of Us. If I wanted depression from my video games I would play literally ANY Yoko Taro game since any is guaranteed to be 10 billion % uber depressing as fuck. 😂 like Automata. “oh are you having fun with big ass android girl? Well have some identity crisis suffering robot you have to murder and watch everything and everyone you meet just fucking die in the most gruesome way possible”.
I’m also not saying your opinions are invalid. Far from it. :0 It’s merely just me expressing my own thoughts so I do apologize if I came across as insulting of your opinion.
@@DarkEclipse23 I wouldn't say Leon acts depressed, but rather...more grounded. He takes things seriously when necessary, but his sarcasm and dry sense of humor are still intact. I like the fact that we can see how much his trauma has taken a toll on him over the years. He's riddled with PTSD and survivor's guilt. It adds more depth to his character and makes him feel more believable. To be honest, I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I personally like when a form of media, whether it's a video game or a TV show or a movie, knows when it needs to be taken seriously. It makes the stakes feel higher, which I think was lacking in the original (but I also know that the light-hearted tone and cheesiness of the original is what people love about it). As a long time fan of the original, I like both games almost equally, but I do have a slight preference for the remake. I like how the story and characters were handled.
Also, you're good, and I appreciate that you didn't come here looking for an argument or insulting my opinion. I know that people have their own gripes and nitpicks with the remake, and that's fine. What I can’t stand is when people jump on the "soulless" argument bandwagon as though there are absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's fine to have a preference for the original, but the people who act like no effort went into the remake or that it didn't make improvements to the original are in denial.
no thanks. old leon is better
@@DarkEclipse23worst complaint ever
I would love it if in just a non-canon comic or animation, both Leon’s meet during the mission. There differences would be so funny to see when together.
OG leon gives off more of a "If I can't beat the crazies, I guess I'll just join them and have fun too" kind of guy, while remake Leon gives off more of a dry, sarcastic and done with everyone's shit attitude.
I like OG Leon because he just plays along with the craziness that's happening in front of him, but I also like the remake portrayal of Leon who's done with everyone's shit as it's very realistic and is a better development if they are trying to aim for a disillusioned Leon for future games.

2023 Leon is a tad too brooding and his one liners are spoken with too much irony, but he does react to events far more realistically.

@@abtuseplays RE6 itself was pretty crazy though.

2023 Leon has seen some shit, is now going through some more shit and is tired of it.
Honestly, I kind of feel like Paul Mercier's performance as Leon in Resident Evil 4 could have helped contribute to its long-standing popularity. Aside from his voice perfectly matching Leon's character model and build, he rarely, if ever, shows fear for the various monstrosities he comes across, and seems fully confident in his own abilities, even when facing a setback. Makes the player feel like a world beater against all odds.
wish 2005 leon would edge me out

Remake Leon doesn't disappoint, he's way more serious and obviously suffering from PTSD but he's still got some of that charm original Leon has. Nick is the perfect remake Leon, Paul is the perfect classic Leon and Merchant. Both make the character so much more cool and loveable.
I love the remake as much as the original. Both have different tones but work perfectly. Some of the one-liners from the remake are great.
But OG Leon will always be the best Leon for me personally, it's cause of his cheesy and fun character portrayal in OG that his popularity in the series grew.
He has the most memorable lines and moments except for the bizarre John wick moments from Remake leon.

Honestly as I've grown up the remake is more enjoyable to me. I'll have nostalgia for "Saddler, you're small time" but as an adult I find more humor in something like "Sorry, didn't know that was yours" (as the Bella sister grabs the crank handle he needs)
@@abigbutterstick1780me too bro re 4 remake its amazing
I think the one line I truly miss is "your right hand comes off?"
First time playing this the bingo line made me lose it 😂😂😂
I honestly like how the remake doesn't entirely outdate the original, I can see myself playing it for nostalgia some time from now still and have just as much of a blast as I do right now with the remake. Leon in the original was campy, funny and over-the-top. Leon in the remake is a little broody and a smartass, while little more grounded as the plot has been made a lot darker and little more serious. I'd argue he is a lot more endearing in the remake as he doesn't really feel so invincible as he did in the original, but both takes are great and fit the game and the pacing perfectly. Also P. Mercier did not disappoint and delivered a stellar VA for him AND the merchant.
Fun Fact : In French version, Mendez has the voice of Kratos and Salazar Junkrat's one
My head canon is the OG game is how Leon brags to Chris about what happened and the remake is the “historically accurate” version.
Not a bad idea.
In my head cannon the events of the OG Game actually happened and Leon spoke to some Director at a bar while he was drunk then inspired the Director to make a Movie about the events but made the Film more believable because he was thinking to himself there's no way this guy kept his cool throughout the entire events of what happened on his mission.

Could have been:
"Hey... I see you found your missing.... ballisthiccs..."
Dada
Ashley: " Leon, NO WAY! "
Leon: WAY😂
Resident Evil works BEST when it has campy dialogue. The 2005game just has sooooo much more personality
There’s a shit ton of campy dialogue in-game within the remake.
Also, Resident Evil was never originally as campy as RE4. Most of that personality was copied from American action movies that were generic at that time
Looks like someone can't escape the past
@@ВладиславБулаев-л3э that's pretty much everyone these days hence all the remakes
I do prefer the remake dialogue, more grounded while still retaining some campyness.
I prefer the remake. The characters feel like people and now the dialogue is still good. Especially with the banter in the Ramon right
2:26 “you got a smoke?” “Got gum” 😂 I just love the thought that Leon had a pack of gum on him the whole time
Man graphics keep improving, it's so wild. REmake 4 cutscenes look like a movie! They're so tonally heavy too. They seemed to have done a great job based on comments I've seen; I haven't watched gameplay yet.
I love that the achievement for defeating Salazar says “No thanks bro!”
