- Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest games ever made. It really didn't need a remake, maybe a bit of a graphical facelift at most. So, let's reminisce about a better time in gaming history one last time before it's "re-imagined".

If gaming never went mainstream we’d have better games rn
Once Holly-weird came into the picture it was only a matter of time. There's no going back now.
You're goddamn right!
Thats true.
Brutha even during the release of re4 original gaming was a bigger industry than music, movies and television. It’s been mainstream for decades
When you can sell to the general public. It does not have to be good. They will consume no matter what. So true.
As a Spaniard, Resident Evil 4 is extremely funny
¡No puede ser!
As a Dutch guy, I like cheese.
As a French, it's funny to me, too as it sounds like one of the villagers always yells "my father puts his feet in the sauce pan" (in French: "mon père a mis les pieds dans la sauce"). Once you hear it, you can't un-hear it.
(also moving from UK to Spain in a few months, can't wait to see what the Sun looks like, I heard it look like a big bright spot in the sky... I can't wait to see it with my own eyes)
@@iamsancho443 the big cheese?
Detras de ti imbecil
Ashley ain't that bad, tbh. I even laugh my ass off when I die in front of her. Somehow, you can trigger a "pervert" line from Ashley if you die close to her skirt. 🤣
*Leon gets his fucking head chainsawed off, head accidentally rolls under Ashley's skirt*
"OH YOU PERVERT!"
yeah had it happen too
bro gets decapitated and she said that line 💀
Yea i was never bothered by Ashley, trying to save her many times gave a unique challenge that never disgruntled me personally .. however, the Island section has always been a drag, and i personally feel the end boss Sadler is a huge letdown after all that hard work to complete the game. The ridiculously fun jet ski outro segment makes up for it though
@@Artesian_mirage I always liked the island segment :) the regenerators levels, the Krauser fight. Some things could have been handled better like the shovel (?) sequence with Ashley driving and like you said, the Sadler bossfight which was a big letdown. The Jetski end sequence was like a copy of DMC 1 flight scene at the end, which was quite awesome!
@@jells31 Yea gotta admit the Regenerators and the Krauser fight (or any moment with Krauser in that game) are standout moments for sure.
I never played DMC but that's interesting the Jet Ski sequence was a copy paste to RE 4, so much stuff from the original designs of RE 4 that bled into different games at that time (Haunting Ground, DMC). Would still love to get a full version of the RE 3.5 Hookman version
"Alfred you cross-dressing FREAK!" The good ole days.
Now if you call a man a man you're a transphobe
-ACK
I mean, he did cross dress as his sister, and he was absolutely unquestionably a freaky mf
Yeah, unfortunately, that might upset those poor drag queens that are obsessed with k!ds, for some reason...
??? That game was mechanically terrible
Ashley is never as bad as everyone says she is. Besides her solo part she stayed out of my way the whole time. I never get why people made such a big deal out of her. The regenerators too. People made them out to be the scariest things alive but you can easily kill them all. Also some areas drag on a bit like the island area
Ashley is only bad in one section of the game I agree.
100 percent agree I'd even say her solo section isn't anything, as all the enemies can be easily outmaneuvered. The rest of the game she can be either put in a dumpster, is kidnapped or can be put on wait as you fight off enemies....WITH EXCEPTION to two sections in the game being the water hall and the wrecking ball rooms those two rooms are the bane of my existence but I mean come on in a 20 hour game, 20 minutes of annoyance does not equal OMG worst character ever I really dont get all the hate.
@@kalibremexRecently played the original for the first time, and I agree. I can only remember one or two times where I either killed her by accident, or have the gameplay stuck unbearably.
Regenerators can be killed easily but still their design is quite creepy, along with the sounds they make. It just catch you off guard after a lot of the previous parts of the game that were kind of a walk in the park. You just don't expect them to show up, especially on Island.
The island is like the shortest part of the game?
Cinematics aren’t what make games art. Game mechanics, level design, enemy design, this is what makes games art. Sadly this line of thinking has been abandoned by the industry in favor of the modern audience
Less masculine audience that hates difficulty and criticism
Well the OG RE do that cinematic thing in fact the remake doesn't do it that often instead of a glorified cutscene boss fight with Krauser for example you have to play it yourself using all the knife tricks you learn so far in the game!! This remake is nothing short of amazing and to Said otherwise if you like the OG is a desperate call for attention
Being gay is what makes it art, to the "modern audience."
So mature. So complex.
meanwhile probably the only aspect that the OG does objectively better is the cinematics. Everything else is better in the Remake, if only because it had nearly 2 decades of gaming history to build off of.
One thing I noticed about og RE4 is that playing with a controller makes aiming a bit harder compared to PC but the game is more fun this way and makes QTE a bit more intense
This guy is what a reviewer should be. Not trying too hard to please everyone, not afraid of poking the beehive of angry fanboys. Hes just being based, and giving his honest opinion on things. He's a rare youtube reviewer that hasn't fallen to the dark side of the internet. Great content.
Nah he’s just a pessimistic cynical narcissist but I still like his videos.
I agree with both of you 😂
He’s both things in a good way and it’s great
@EradicatedPulse Bro most his reviews are just him crying cause there a woman and acting like that's a valid point
Hence why 90% of Reddit hate him when he's brought in the conversation: either you're too extreme or not following conventions, and with the latter, it's usually a good thing. I mean, even Mauler feels threatened enough to attack the guy for taking the "reviewer with long, detailed anti-mainstream thinking" spot.
While sometimes I feel like he's overreaching, he's not wrong on almost every things he points out. He helped me broaden my perspective on certain games on almost every of his videos. It's still his own review and opinion, but at least it's not preaching blindly because it's a franchise he loves or mainstream expectations of "good", which is a low bar these days.
And he's not taking any shit with woke stuff so that's already 10/10 in my book.
Not to sound like too much of a consumer, but these remakes, not just in games, but in movies and tv as well are all collectively robbing younger generations of a pop-cultural identity. Literally hand me downs.
Yes, it's basically just painting 2020's paintjob of modernity on everything. Past should be revisited, not dragged over. Modern pop-culture is just becoming an edit/update of old.
@@Disconnect350 They always change the females to look awful in them, with some very weird reasons.
@@attilamarics3374 Eh not always. My niece is into Wednesday so i showed her the old Addams family series and she called me retarded. To a certain extent i say fuck it let em enjoy the rehash. I fk w goth bitches tho so maybe this isn't a good example
Okay buddy
remakes are done for two reasons: Lack of creativity, it has been removed due to upbringing and secondly, remakes are done to destroy cultural identity.
I personally do not trust anyone that gets free review copies.
True, they can't say anything critical that might get them black listed
@@zmss8537 And that is precisely why. How can you possibly trust anything the reviewer says when they're incentivized to praise a bad product?
escorting npcs is always tough, but at least ashley had a lot of cute moments and personality, and i mean, of all the moments in gaming i remember fondly, her calling for leon will forever be etched in my memory.
I remember when the game came out that people absolutely HATED Ashley
I agree, I always liked her character even if protecting her was sometimes frustrating.
She's the only Escort that players actually care.
Yes. Its supposed to be a hard thing to escorting NPC. But newer player are prefer an easy escorting game.
HeEeEeElP!! Leon!!
Resident Evil 4 is the Yakuza of Horror games: Serious but at the same time fun and goofy.
it's a metal gear solid game and a john wick james bond game too.
Bruh it must be rough constantly being a contrarian lmao like I enjoy your content but if you never actually like a game the cracks begin to show 😅
@@Mygrandpaspodcast wtf are you talking about? He likes plenty of games and this video is all about praising RE4.
This is why it always annoyed me when the fans frothed at the mouth when it deviated from horror sometimes. I dare say I didn’t even think the originals were all that scary. They never needed to be it was always about fun and characterization more so than getting people scared, people who just wanted to pee. Their pants could have just went to silent hill . A thing a lot of people don’t seem to remember is that resident evil four was pretty hated when it first came out for this reason, I wonder if those people to this day are feeling like morons as more and more people feel the game was a masterpiece that was ahead of its time.
That's an analogy I'll hardly forget.
RE4 truly is a masterpiece
🦜
It's not. It's really thrilling game, but it's dissapointing as RE game. It's 8-9/10. I would give it 8/10. Too long to be replayable. OG RE 2 it's a real masterpiece.
@@dis_inferno9173 Nah.. RE4 is an amazing game...
@@dis_inferno9173 RE4 best
@@m.r.fprototype9601 you're probably don't like RE games then
I honestly don't mind Ashley. I miss her when she's gone even lol.
Same, I really like Ashley.
Simp
I still remember the first time I played RE4. It was an experience I'll never forget.
The atmosphere and level design, the fun and self-aware B-movie plot, the powerful weapons, the creepy bosses and effective enemies (screw the Regenerator!), the great characters, and the setpieces that surprised 10-year old me...
Gotta agree with Synth Man here: this game is perfect.
Can't forget the sound design. Probably some of the most iconic in gaming
@@zachsutton6195 yep. And Ada's red dress too 😎😏
@@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370 can't forget the bitch in the red dress lol
The first time I played it on PS2 I got stuck on that part with Regenerators, barely had any ammo left and couldn't figure out to equip the Thermal scope, then the disc broke. Beat the game few years later on PC. Amazing game with so many ideas and so much style. They really knocked it out of the park in 2005.
@@Disconnect350 I'm gonna hate them even after I die. I spent so many tries trying to figure out how to escape the room, and like you I didn't know you HAD to use the thermal scope .
Capcom at the time was on fire RE4 and DMC3 in a row, like holy shit let the others compete my guys
When franchises were a thing and hype was justified
I had both on PS2. Now those were the golden days of gaming.
And monster hunter had just started
Just finished the original RE4 this morning and after beating it, I literally said, "that game is a masterpiece." It is as fun a game as I have ever played and I think it aged very well. Also, I laughed out loud every time I accidentally shot Ashley and Leon just sinks down to his knees with his hands over his face.
I did the same thing a few days ago to refresh my memory so I can compare the remake as I play it. So far, I've been enjoying it. The new mechanics are a very welcoming addition to the game. Love the options to using stealth or just go gung-ho.
Right. It got everything, the fun, the absurd, the horor, and so on...
Now game is just being realistic as posible or just fun shoting like Valo etc.
Same man, its morning, just finished the original for the first time, had a blast, so much fun
Masterpiece
Why I think RE4 works so well is because it has perfect pacing. There isn't a section in this game that is dull or too frustrating. Pretty much ever other videogame that I know has those sections. Of course that doesn't make it my favorite game in the series, it used to be so until I played the RE1 and 2 remakes which I started to like better because I that's the gameplay style that I want from Resident Evil. But as far as action games go, this is one of the best definitely.
Your lying to yourself if you don’t think the game drags on just a bit. Especially the castle section.
@@Hard2hit94 the castle is my least favorite part in general, but I don't think it drags on. I'm just not a big fan of castles.
The most wild thing about this review its the realization that there are people that not only havent played the og RE4, but will have the RE4R as the first experience of that game
It is crazy to think about, I still for one am excited for the remake. The biggest thing will be those first timers (usually normies) that will make things cringe.
I actually put aside og re4 since I heard it was gonna get a remake
@@kevlare-7324hats alright . I mean at the end we get more RE4 . But what really drives me nuts are that people suddenly replace the OG with the remake and think the OG is "outdated" .
Are Tank-controls outdated ? Not really but i wouldnt say the controls are for everything and i would think about it how to use them and in which ganes they are perfectly made .
For Horror games its great , even platformers like OG tomb raider has with those controls depth and complexity in itself..
Tank-controls are a different kind of control-concept that has its own cool aspects but as long as people think in consoomer-logic , they wont understand it and even hate it .
I only hope that they do not delist the original RE4 release like some other studios nowadays
@@Snyperwolf91 I’ll always love RE4 (Hell I’m playing it as I type this to you) and anyone who likes the remake, new fan or old should play the original!
Tank controls in survival horror games make the game more intense, which in turn makes your decisions carry more weight, which makes the game more scary. Imo
The shills and consoomers are gonna be out for your head on this one. But I agree. RE4 didn't need a Remake, the Remake sacrificed style for realism. The character designs and voice acting are a huge downgrade in the Remake. Krauser and Merchant sound awful. The OG dialogue was goofy fun, the new stuff feels like Netflix, tries too hard to be serious. Don't get me started on how much better faces looked in the original.
Here , i think a serious tone in a game isnt bad and since a long time we dont really got very serious and edgy games lately that are good or not remakes of other games.
But RE4 wasnt a serious games and making it serious and so netflix-y just gonna make this game unfitting and very weird to have it.
But at the end we got more RE4 out of it. Its definitly not the same game but a different one with the same overall construct.
Shin Mikami wrote the game's story in 3 weeks. He said if they remade the game he hopes they would re-do the story. The goofiness could've been a result of that.
I don't mind the remake. The original is always there and now I find shit people complained about in the original are now looked on fondly. How quickly a lot of people changed their tune once a new version is out.
Ashley looks like she's 40 years old in the remake
@xid Yes, the game re-released almost as much as Skyrim will get delisted. The game has been re-released so much even if it did get delisted on steam it wouldn’t be hard to play it anyway.
Also, the original’s store page was updated (slightly). If they were planning to delist it I doubt they would’ve bothered.
@@Mr_Mistah OG Ashley looks like she’s 15. Honestly still get surprised when I remember she’s supposed to be 20. Also, have you actually met or even seen a 20 year old girl?…
I think RE4 is a Masterpiece. I replayed it on Gamecube, PS2, and PC multiple times.
Ashley is actually a good addition to RE4 because it makes you go out of your powerhouse zone and look after someone else, not only continuing RE tradition with companions but also biting your empathy, especially if you're a guy (not simping, just basic protection skills lol). Gameplay wise she works perfectly even without dumpsters, making you watch your back and be alert. I'm surprised you think it's a bad addition to the game, since it really does add a new situation for you to play through, and not a bad one at all if you think about it.
In the video looks like hes another person that doesnt like difficulty in games
@@librepensador9060 not really, he enjoys a good challenge, which is why it baffled me that he hates on Ashley too, but well yea it's not a crime to have an opinion
@@FreemanBBFQ Ashley dont give problems, only shes not a likeable character more like simple NPC
@@librepensador9060 nah she's a bit bratty but still likeable, like when she's moving her arm when you shoot someone with a rifle is adorable
Yea, its funny when he said RE4 is masterpiece but hating on OG Ashley--a big aspect of RE4 itself. How come its masterpiece if you hate one of its main thing?
When I played this, never once I hated Ashley, thats why I kinda shock about most players opinion on her. It is a chalengge to me as a player if I failed because she is dead or capture.
It definitely didn’t need to be remade, but at the same time it’s not even the same game. The tone, atmosphere, gameplay, level design, story, characters, all similar in ways, but distinctly separate from the original. I really enjoyed my time with the remake, and even if you don’t like it, you have to admit there is quality behind it. I’ve played though the original countless times since the GameCube and it will always be a game I’ll come back to. But I also think I’ll come back to the remake, I really enjoyed it.
My guess is he'll give credit where credit is due. remakes are just always a difficult topic cus ya have the direct comparison to the source material, and to some people it's more important to enjoy a game in it's original state, bug and performance fixes aside.
Remake is a masterpiece of its own. Sure, it lost a lot of charm from the original since the remake is a more serious game but still I really liked how they made certain levels more entertaining and cohesive, the level design is top notch and Island doesn't drag so much like in the OG, where there's just too much going on. There is only one problem with the remake for me, it tried to be TOO serious while RE4 was always praised for its campiness. Salazar is no longer as funny as he was in the OG, he's quite forgettable to be honest because not only he doesn't show up as often, his interactions with Leon aren't as comedic as they used to be. Making him a more serious villain unfortunately took away everything that he was known and liked for. Saddler also is a huge downgrade, we meet him in person only on the Island and he's now very generic bad, religious guy. He hasn't got this mystical aura about him and his face seems kinda generic too, his old look was much more memorable. Yeah, the remake is great but it's also an example that sometimes giving a game more serious tone doesn't really work with certain aspects of it.
Music in this game is amazing. Composer was a genius
Basically every Japanese game has phenomenal music - Final Fantasy series (or any JRPG), RE series, Yakuza series, DMC series and the list goes on and on
I started playing Dead Space 1 a few days ago and I already love the game, I am talking about the original from 2008. RE4 might not be for me but the legacy it has created can not be ignored because thanks to RE4 we got Dead Space.
Finally enough I played dead space 1 last year loved it for the first time too Of course the original Planning on doing the max difficulty can’t wait to do it even if I have my but kicked I’m still doing it
Started dead space 1 again lol. Sadly I only have last gen console
Not only that, but RE4 kind of revolutionized third-person shooters in general. Even something like Uncharted and The Last of Us have RE4 to thank for their success
Dead Space remake is pretty dam great.
Man how do you not like this but like dead space, I enjoy both but resi 4 is just more fun, more to do and fun combat sytem
I bought this game when it came out for GameCube. I was absolutely amazed, the graphics in this game were insane for 2005. I don’t know if this game “invented” it but this game at least popularized the “over the shoulder camera” for third person games, I think I heard someone say splinter cell did it first but splinter cell only had over the shoulder camera when aiming, this game had it all the time just like we see in most games today.
Insane graphics? Compare this to REmake1 or 0 which came out years before 4 and they genuinely hold up to this day.
@@ATthemusician hard to compare the pre-rendered images used as backgrounds in RE 1 & 0 to RE4 which were fully 3-D real-time rendered environments. For the time it was pretty kickass. Especially if you consider the size of each playable area
What people forget is these games were played on a CRT TV which actually makes these graphics look really good
The worst part about these modern RE remakes is that they took RE2, 3 and 4, three pretty different games, and homogenized them into being borderline romhacks of one another.
It's such a goddamn shame. Especially since RE2 and 3 have been mostly lost to time unless you emulate them.
Agreed I wish they used different engines each time not just the same RE Engine , RE4 especially Is not supposed to look or play like anything close to RE2 or RE3 yet they made the Remakes very similar In many ways.
@Fawkk YuTuu Damn, I can't believe how stupid your comment is.
I view it as an easy way to get modern audiences up with the general story/lore, a lot of people who liked RE4 never liked RE1/2/3 because of the differences in gameplay but with the remakes it kinda balanced that out.
2 and 3 were not very different
What are you talking about?
Ashley even during the forced escort parts aren’t really a big deal. She’s constantly taken away by the ganados and even during times you are forced to have her stick with you, she stays with you and I’ve never shot her unless it was intentional.
Only part of the game she can be unbearable is the water room in the beginning of the castle, where the shield guys will kill her with no attempt to just pick her up.
Her only purpose is just to have more convenient sequences that wouldn’t make sense if you were by yourself.
unless it was intentional xD
I find people who complain about her to be more annoying than Ashley herself tbh. This is not an original criticism, people have been bitching about her for almost 20 years now and still hearing it now is just a bit pathetic.
Yeah, what is the problem with difficulty in games? Many outlet reviewers complaining when they encounter a bit of difficulty..
I had Ashley get taken by one of the cultists. He was carrying her down the stairs and I had a perfect shot at his legs. At the last second he descended one more step and I shot Ashley square in the back of the head. All I could do was laugh.
When it comes to Ashley I have had no issue in the remake. The one time I felt she was annoying (and I’m trying to avoid spoilers here for those that haven’t played the remake yet) I didn’t realize that I could keep her from getting caught or hit by just trying a different strategy. I actually like the new lines of dialogue her and Leon have adding a bit more to her personality. I did end of shooting her once though I was using the pistol that shot through the ganado that was carrying her (sorry drawing a brain fart on the exact pistol and immediately realized it lol. I do understand some things were cut here and it’s not as campy as the og release but I’m enjoying it for what it is. Honestly I like the changes as more grounded tone of the remake. Without it being a 1-1 remake it leaves reason to still go play the og release for those few cuts and campy tone. I can’t say I like the remake more than the og because the og version is special to me for nostalgic reasons but I am glad the remake was made for a new generation and hopefully some who may not have played the og version will go give it a chances to see the differences many have talked about but I’m loving taking my time with the remake. A lot of the changes and tweaks and new sections have me on my toes with the tension just like the og version. Both the og and the remake deserve a place today in my opinion and maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I wouldn’t mind seeing an re5 remake with this treatment if capcom decides to. The remake may not ever be considered as good as the og but to me re4 from 2005 is lightning in a bottle that can’t be replicated but the remake here comes as close as you can get in my opinion and as far as remakes one of the best remakes of an older game I have ever played.
I just finished watching GmanLives review of RE4 Remake, and hearing him criticize the og game felt odd. Yeah RE4 has some issues, but it still holds up amazingly well. He even trashed the goofiness despite the fact that it's meant to be a dumb B movie and the campiness is what gives Resident Evil its charm. And of course, like most modern game reviewers, he mocked fans that criticized the female designs and not being able to look up Ashley's skirt; it's like he's becoming another Angry Joe.
Destroy the old so you can replace it with the new, they are paid shells
Gmanlives is just another shill who has occasional good takes
GmanLivesToShill is another one to not take seriously, Civvie 11 is better although he mostly focuses on older FPS games
This whole replay chain can be summed up as anyone who has a different opinion than us about the remake of a game is a paid shill.
Finding trustworthy one-man-show UA-camrs, that get review codes, is hard, if they exist. Unlike a website which has separate departments, a solo UA-camr -the person reviewing the game- is the same one that has to play buddy-buddy with PR to get early copies in the first place. There’s an obvious conflict of interest, which is why “access journalism” is an oxymoron. There’s a threat of accidentally biting the hand that feeds you.
So these big UA-cam reviewers are much more likely to downplay criticisms or that issues are “personal, but won’t affect other people”. They don’t want to pi$$ off those companies (or the people in charge of hanging out review copies, which could partly be why some reviewers are more political, because the people in charge of review codes are). And because they only make reviews, and nothing else, if they don’t get early access, no one will watch them.
Their “audience” isn’t really there for the UA-camr. It’s just that UA-camrs are more personable than watching an IGN or GameSpot review, but most UA-cam early access reviewers are more or less interchangeable still. So if these UA-camrs were a week or even a few days late with a review, most people would skip because they only watched them for early access, and already watched someone else by that point. So the largest UA-cam review channels will also have the softest reviews, because they only got so big by getting early access. Not because they grew organically from people wanting to hear their opinion.
The art design looks better than the remake, insane.
The art direction and character models are much better in the Original. Remake's faces look weird. Hell, Mendez in the og has more detail than in The Remake.
They went for a more realistic look. I'd say it's a matter of preference.
So true
Yeah I noticed when playing the demo they just dumped a ton of random clutter everywhere. Like I saw the same set of horn charms dangling from strings like 3 times in the first house alone and it really broke immersion for me
The original RE4 has a 'realism' vibe to it, like it feels it could be a small mountainous community in northern Spain. The horror aspect isn't overdone & many of the areas just come across like a desolate Spanish countryside, hillside, church, castle etc.
The remake meanwhile goes full in horror artstyle with super high contrast, creepiness & darkness everywhere.
The only gaming YT channel I actually use to help figure out if I should purchase a game or not.
Amén man. I Watch Gmanlives and Angry Joe too but they sold out hardd.
This man its truly based and Tells The truth how It is
Synth man: "they showed you a gay episode to spite you"
Everyone else: "that episode was weird but I shifted with the overton window so I'm fine with it"
The creators: "we made that episode to force right wingers to watch gay stuff lol" (almost word for word)
Synth man is just stating the obvious... which is a great quality to have when everyone else is afraid of doing so...
I see most other reviewers as spineless nowadays. They literally were subjected to a very clear and easily identifiable pattern for Dead Space's posters... And everyone pretends not to see it... Even though the human brain is probably the most advanced pattern recognition machine in the Solar system ^-^
"A black female in front of EVERY poster? No, I don't think that's a pattern, why do you ask?"...
Last week, I saw a collage of all the white actors that have been black washed... That thing was huge, somehow, everyone else is just "no, these are just coincidences... that keep coinciding... again... and again... and again..." ahahahaha
But somehow, they can hear the tiniest racist dog whistle from the most innocuous sentences...
All that to say: Everyone is pretending, out of fear. Synth man has the balls to call a spade, a spade.
He literally says every game sucks. Dude said harry potter was ass, said deadspace/re4 remake is ass, all objectively awful takes.
You're not gonna buy any new games then
@@cococock2418hh yes . Typical consoomer take . Because Subjectivity rules over reality . Delusional but hey atleast you are a useful sheep .
Go consoom bad stuff to cope ,.
Whenever I think of RE4, I think of one word:
GOLD!
Hehehe what are ya buying?
Literally watched your first video a couple of days ago on RE4 for the first time, I think it's still good, but understandable with how you've been working on your style for the last couple of years. Keep it up.
Early to mid 2000s Capcom was on another level, things were never the same after Mikami & the Clover Studios guys left.
It's a crime they removed the ballistics line part from the game. We really need to stop this fear of sounding misogynistic bullshit. Not every joke needs to have a debate around it, this generation is soo soulless that they forgot how to laugh and have a good time. Everything is offensive now
They literally removed most of the jokes lmao and ur complaining about that one. 😂
Who cares
I played the OG RE4 for the first time ever this year, it was the first time I've ever played this type of game, and even though it's never going to be one of my favorites, it's undeniably one of the best games I've ever played. Truely one of the greatest games of all time and absolutely a masterpiece.
I beat this game a sickening amount of times back when I had it on Gamecube. Probably my most played game ever besides MGS3.
The remake was good, but they dialed Leon’s one liners back to not offend people like” ha, women” or “taking orders from women is not my style”. Those lines gave the sense of badass and didn’t gaf.
"Badass is when casual misogyny" is such a weird gamer brain thing that makes no sense. And also, you picked literally the worst one liners he said in the original game. Not "Your right hand comes off" or "No thanks, bro!".
@@scruffopone3989 those lines are good too but, Leon’s OG badass character would not give a fuck about people that get offended with “bADaSs is cAsual MisOgyny” so he wouldn’t abide by PC culture

Lmfao
Resident Evil 4 was ahead of its time to be fair. I literally fell in love with the game ever since i played it and now its been about 10 year since i first played it
I was waiting 18 years for a review of this game before buying it and i think you finally convinced me Synthetic man
I've probably beat it at least 20 times haha.
@@leadme2thebliss21 So did i :)
Yeah yeah whatever. "I feel special because I don't like what everyone else likes"
This channel in a nutshell
The remake is woke and soulless. It's a true destruction of a classic.
Women and POC characters noooo they ruined everything😭😭😭
@@joshuadonohoe199 lol what original had women and poc too and we didnt call it woke dumbass?? 🤣🤣🤣
Explain the woke bit please
@xid I was being sarcastic....
@@joshuadonohoe199 The original has women and minorities. Nice straw man though, really original.
I agree that this game is an absolute masterpiece. But i do not agree with your complaints about Ashley. Its literally your mission in the game to save her, so its completely understandable all of the sections that take place with her. Its not a flaw in the game, its literally just you whining that you don’t want to do what you’re supposed to do in the game which is saving her.
My biggest problem, as with Dead space remake, was the deaths being way too tamed, like why are developers so afraid to show gore?
That and 75% of the characters being changed for the worse.
It's updated for modern audiences
Lack of gore or any kind of violence in 18+ games other than guns and mean words, progressive characters that swear every 2 sentences, shallow and pretentious world building and lore, basic gameplay and underwhelming content at launch. I'd say modern games are made for childish adults and normies that haven't actually played a game in their lives.
@@alexkogan9755 yeah salazar now looks like a granny krausers a bich ashley is woke sjw feminist girl and so on oh and the new merchant sounds like some dude tryinna impersonate the original
RE4 remake seems to have some spicy stuff... When a villager stands near an explosive barrel and you make it explode... that's gore as fµck. You'll see.
(I'm saving you the surprise, probably in the top 3 of goriest things in video game History)
Ashley's all clothed up now. That alone tells you EVERYTHING.
That you'll be single forever... It's Capcom my dude, they probably pay-walled the incel costumes...
Happy -wanking- gaming!
Coomer
I just dont get why the female characters look awful based on weird reasons, "desexualizing women" and stuff. Im still looking for 1 woman that doesnt want to be sexy, gorgeous and rather she wants to look like a dog or a plank.
i wana cuuuuuuum
Her ballistics are still big
Finally. I feel like I'm going fucking crazy with everyone praising the remake and shitting on RE4 for being "not scary" or "too cheesy".
Recency bias is a hell of a drug. It will wear off soon. Same thing happened with RE2 Remake.
Except Re4 isn't scary and it is cheesy, not saying that's bad but that is exactly what it is
Except that is the truth lol
but the new game is just as cheesy tho pretty much, im legit halfway through the castle, just did water hall and the dialogue is pretty good, leon's one liners still hit
Tbh re games were never really scary to begin with or at least in the long run. Not like silent hill. I never really got "scared" of re games, maybe nervous in some areas but that's about it and even that's rare in those game imo
The coolest part about RE4 WAS that you couldn't move while shooting. It made shooting a more tactical decision, and the laser sight was so cool.
Laser sight is in the game. U just have to buy the attachment
Something that got critized to hell when Dead Space OG came out and let you move, aim and shot at the same time! Weird how that was with the remakes coming out in the same year 🤔🤔🤔🤭
@@paulman34340 It's a conspiracy!
@@BlackfireStudios_Lost LOL
I found that more annoying than tense even when I played it as a kid
Played the demo for the remake and they changed the mood way too much, also was spoiled on some cringey dialogue changes so that’s something to worry about
Man i cant agree more. The new one isn’t scary at all in comparison. Looks like an NPC village game.
This is what we fear for the COD WAW Remake they may remove the horror vibe
I hate what they did to Luis. That encounter in the cabin is ridiculously tryhard.
@@cringemaxxing28 To be fair, the original game wasn't really that scary either.
@@MobiusGang You're right but prepare for the hate wave. The only thing that made it scary was the Ganado music and the clunky controls.
“No way, fa-“ Synthetic Man’s last words before this video is demonetized.
Zoomers won't get that reference, sadly. Also this meme would become funnier if they made Ashley trans, but it would ruin a lot more i bet.
@@SolonGaming SphereHunter did cosplay as her in one of the Capcom streams so in a way it works.
@@SolonGaming what is the refrence?
@@user-ku2hr8bo7d ua-cam.com/video/8MNXw_fGPTc/v-deo.html
@@user-ku2hr8bo7d A fan comic or animation where Leon says that line to Ashley when she asks him about working overtime.
After finishing the remake, no one can top up the original.
Re4 didn't needed that remake. But damn I'm glad it got one.
Synthetic Man giving it to us straight. I Enjoy your videos.
It "needs" a remake because it's Resident Evil and that means Capcom makes money. That's all there is.
@Ebola It's a financial risk to make something original. It might sell horribly.
RE4 is Mikami's magnum opus & GodHand is his passion project that's amazing but he knew wouldn't sell.
RE1 Remake too
@Gajado Castelo I like how that remake actually added and never removed. Only thing that is missing was extreme battle mode nobody remembers.
I can't believe they didn't remake Code Veronica instead. It's literally a mainline game. I don't care about the stupid opinions around it's quality, it wasn't a great RE game but it was still pretty good at the time but a remake would have been great.
The worst part is that they 100% refused to make a CV Remake because of the cross-dressing dude lmao. I hate nu-Capcom so much
It was literally a homage to the twist in Pyscho but trans activists aren't very big on context and they new people would complain if they changed the twist so they just decide not to make it.
I'm kinda with you. A remake of that trash to make it into something good would be awesome.
@@splash_067 Play Darkside Chronicles
veronica is trash and no ones gonna play it
The term master peice has been thrown around too much. Games I would consider master peices are games like Metal Gear 3, Devil May Cry 3 , Halo 3 (lots of 3s ), Resident Evil 4 ,Castlevania Symphony Of The Night and the orginal DOOM, Dark Souls 1. And whats the thing all these games have in common? they prioritized fun gameplay first.
100k baby congrats synth.
Leon is a super soldier he took on a whole village and a castle .
I bought resident evil 4 on a whim and ended up loving it. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.
Resident Evil Code Veronica is my personal favorite because it has such an insane story. Alfred cross dressing as his sister Alexia because he couldnt stand to be away from her while she underwent experiments to become an ultimate being. The implications that Alfred and Alexia may have been in love with each other. That game had some serious balls.
Thanks for doing this man.
"That's a creature."
Perfect game , the remake honestly doesn’t come close. Not the same game
this is why i actually listen to synthetic man because hes not afraid to go against the grain by awing at the latest mainstream garbage
But the remake is really good so you really have no argument here.
@@mackncheese1683 the remake is censored trash with neutered dialogue.
@@mackncheese1683 is it? Is it really?
@@rigardo576 because the ballistics line is gone? I think you should go outside
@@rigardo576 dumbest comment on here
-Remake 4 is actually good
-God of War Ragnarok seems so mid after beating it
-Elden Ring is good
remake is just ok, not at the same level as re2 remake but does somethings good but worse in others
I prefer tank controls because you don’t have to constantly turn the camera and go back and forth from the right stick to the buttons.
same
I played the remake yeah it was good but I honestly still prefer the original
Resident Evil 4 is definitely a masterpiece. This remake, on the other hand, definitely is not.
Objectively better in every way but continue to cope
That's your opinion not a fact
Bam, problem solved
Other way round mate
WAAAAAA WAAAAAAA, can u just shut up and play the game? I played re4 in my childhood and forever hold it close to my heart but I can still love the remake and think that it’s good. U people are the absolute worst
Well you're right about this it definitely doesn't... All they did was take out the goofiness everything else is still there and Capcom really isn't that innovative for being in 2023 still slapping that yellow tape/paint EVERYWHERE ON EVERYTHING!!! I guess cuz they assume gamers are that Fuckin dumb?! Also the Fuckin eyeballs everything is an eyeball... Every boss hit the eyeballs and it dies. For Fucksake they even put arrows blinking on the screen where the eyeball is to stab the final boss... The hand-holding in this game is absolutely pathetic... It's next level... I was absolutely shocked. I'm still shocked that they went all out for this game but couldn't show the same respect to the remakes that came before it... What they did to Resident Evil 3 REmake was absolutely asinine...
I wonder if some of the devs played the majors mask remake and loved the eyeballs on every boss.
@@grundlebee4814 Probably!!! LOL
@@grundlebee4814 I love TLoZ, but I dislike the OoT and MM remakes.
All old games ever need are HD remasters, like Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD and Skyward Sword HD.
@@UltimateTobi Yeah, those games were before my time so I tried to play them when I was a teenager on the 3DS and I got bored and couldn't finish them. I kinda assumed they fucked em up and the old versions were better. I'll probably play the originals on an emulator one day.
Very slick editing at the end of the video 💯
Finally another post from the greatest gaming UA-camr to date. I’m going to enjoy this
Congrats on 100k bruv.
Remakes are just lazy and take advantage of nostalgia to generate money. Most people want new games and experiences. Most fans have played re4 so many times that the remake just isn’t worth the £60 tag especially when the game can be beaten in 8hrs and the DLC removed probably paid dlc
I have been waiting for this 😂
Fun fact: if you get the exclusive upgrade from starter handgun. Not only your weapon but also increase your kick critical hits
They've finally ran out of ideas, so now they'll reboot games like Hollywood is remaking old movies.
I love the cheesiness of RE4. Being that it was originally gonna be Devil May Cry, there is just something about the game that strikes a perfect middle. It's cheesy enough to the point where you can laugh at Leon but scary enough to the point where you are sweating when the bosses show up. It's so good that it has a MILLION REMAKES.
Sorry bro but i gonna smartass hard on this one :
Remasters*
@@Snyperwolf91 It makes no difference to me.
@@gimmeyourrights8292 There is definitly a difference but.... you know what , lately even remasters aint remasters and remakes aint remakes.
@@Snyperwolf91 The way I see it, they are both revisions of the same game. And yes I'm one those people who use crocodile and alligator interchangeably.
Other way around. Leon was first and then turned into Dante.
the problem with games and movies today is the lack of originality. They guarantee themselves by making Remakes and Remasters of hits from the past. Of course the new RE4 will be very profitable, is a masterpiece, but better. Capcom was in trouble some years ago but they learned to sell nostalgia, there are great new games for sure, but how many new IP's have you seen lately?
Gaming is creatively bankrupt and now it relies on Nostalgia and casual zoomers to buy games.
@xid remember when gamers justified purchasing shadow of the colossus and the last of us for the THIRD TIME?
@@Disconnect350 The Whole Entertainment Industry as a whole is Creatively Bankrupt
Resident Evil 4 didn't need gameplay "upgraded". The new game looks so slow, and I don't know (maybe I'm the minority here) but the censorship of Ada and Ashley just feels weird to me 🤷♂
Censorship?
What exactly is censored in this game? Do all of you retards just regurgitate what this goblin says in this video?
Thank God you dropped a video, your content is awesome.
His content sucks
Masterpiece has been thrown around left and right
Fr people be making 3 hour reviews called "Why the Cars videogame on ps2 is a masterpiece" or some shit
I bought the original RE4 skipped the Remake! 🎉❤
Respect +
The remake cuts content and has a worse art style, so good choice.
@@porkyminch5131 Thank you! Yeah the Remake is just ugly to me. I love how graphics used to look. The super realistic graphics of the new Resident Evil games turn me off. Resident Evil 4-6 have beautiful graphics but Resident Evil 4 has thee BEST gameplay of them all. Hell it has the best everything! 🤘 I love everything about it!
@@porkyminch5131 art style is fine, it's this weird obsession with degrading clarity especially with some enemies who look like they are cloaked by shadow, not a fan and whole remake has problems when trying to improve upon the original which it was it's job since it's not an actual remake but a reimagining
@MrDay the entire island section in remake straight up makes it feel like re5, at least original was still try harding with it's horror presentation
@MrDay listen to yourself idiot, it became even more militarized some how. At least the original kept it still chilling , here they just went balls deep.
Love the vids. I do not agree with everything you say in them but to be fair your spot on most of the time. You are a very fair reviewer and i respect the fact that you speak your mind and do not kiss arse for money! More power to you for that mate!!!
Take it easy.
I swear to Multiple Gods in my Like 6 Playthroughs of the Original RE 4 I NEVER had any Problem with the Tank Controls. And the 60 fps on Gamecube were amazing. 18 year old Today Will Never Understand how Big this Game was in 2005. Only GTA San Andreas was more important.
I just beat resident evil 4 remake once again another awesome resident evil remake
Not being able to move forces you to position your self in the environment and make a choice between shooting or repositioning during the fight.
If you can move and shoot, you will always be moving, you don't have to think as hard and choosing to stand your ground isn't as intimidating.
Great thumbnail for a great video. Nice work as always. Especially for this TRUE masterpiece :)
Almost to 100k, synthman. Stream some RE4make and make the jump.
2005 Resident Evil 4 is B movie joy at it finest, 2023 Resident Evil 4 doesn't seem to know what it want to be some time (also what the fuck is with Ada's voice?)
Played this game on release and was blown away. Recently I was stopped on day one from playing because of the controls. Tried it again a few days later and sat down with it and found I quickly got used to them. Glad I did cause the game is phenomenal still. Waiting for the remake to go on sale before trying it out.
Watched this video then went and played it for like 7 hours straight
I liked Ashley escort sections, she has pretty good AI and does not act suicidal.
Also having additional lose conditions really adds to the stakes.
I'm pretty sure that Crapcom will delist this game from every platform in the near future. The soulless remake will be the only available version going forward.
The HD version is playable on the PS5 so if they did it would be completely asinine
@@Mr_Mistah honestly would it be surprising at this point?
honestly re4 didn't need remake, but if capcom made a remake to their 2nd and third game, why stop there? the remakes' purpose is literally just to give access to these masterpieces to a new younger audience. so, when people bash the originals for their controls....i mean what the fuck were you expecting, re4 was made in 2005, it was essentially the pioneer of 3rd person shooters. also, capcom needs games to keep the timeline consistent with their newer games. but Imo re5 and re6 most definitely need remakes, they could fix up the stories and gameplay, because those were the games that honestly just needed a do over and some constructive criticize to make perfect.
Congrats On 100k
We don't " need" ice cream or pizza, but still awesome to have it Same way we don't "need" this remake. But i am very happy we got it . Some positivity on a title for once man😂 Would be way happier with code Veronica remake thought
I only played RE4 because of your videos and I gotta say, while it’s very dated in some ways, it made me want to keep playing till the end. Not a lot of games these days manage that. And the ones that do, I often use cheats because there’s time wasting grinding involved as a part of their “content.” Can’t wait to watch the stream.
i also cheat to skip grinding its not fun and a big waste of time
That was one of the best parts about the original RE4, there wasn't a grind other than getting to the next area.
100K lets go SYNTHMAN!!
The remake is fine but will never replace the original game.
