@@nichmcintosh2699love when people coming with the first game, which is the worst fucking voice acting in the entire RE universe, so its fair to say, it wasn't mean shit for the characters voice.
I believe that the standard ganado only distinguish off looks, they all know each other wear the same clothes, look a certain way in terms of the face, etc. I don’t believe they have the ability to see if a biological entity is one of them or not, similar to how a biosensor scope can see weak points in plaga. This is why ada can get away with disguising her self as one of the zealots that are completely covered head to toe, the other zealots cannot see her face and won’t see that she doesn’t look like one of them.
Yeah plus they could easily handwave it that the bog standard ganado/monk wouldn't have the ability to distinguish infected and non-infected and can be fooled by disguises
For 10 bucks, we got more than we bargain for. Also, I like how we saw some of the events from different point of view. It looks like re4 and this game were build together because the different points of view didn’t feel shoe horned
I know they've technically skipped Code Veronica, but I sincerely hope they still do a remake for it before 5. IF that's the case. Because Steve (and Alfred, now that I think about it) definitely needs the remake treatment lol
@@ThatguyinaboxAgreed! And modders even found an unused asset of him with an injured arm. They definitely have a use for it for a Code Veronica remake.
It feels good to see Capcom learning from their mistakes with RE3 remake. While it would be nice to have Assignment Ada as well, I think I'm happy with what we have.
It wasn't canon as far as I know and was honestly even more bare bones than the original separate ways, which at least had new weapons and one new/remixed locations. AA can be beaten in about 5 minutes too 😆 The costume as an unlockable would've been nice though
I actually thought the actress did a better job in the DLC. More calm confident. It's a shame "fans" had to attack and threaten her on social media and forced her to delete everything. Even if you hate the performance she didn't deserve any of that. Makes Re fans look like a bunch of entitled, whiney, and childish weirdos.
Not just RE fans but a lot of gamers are that disgusting in general, people did the same to Laura Bailey when she played Abby from TLOU2 and even threatened her kid, all because of her characters actions.
I cheesed so hard when Wesker said that 😂 It doesn't have the same charm to it though without his over-the-top Saturday morning cartoon voice This is a solid little expansion, I think it's way better than the original separate ways. It's nothing too groundbreaking or anything but I like that Ada is more apt to sneak around and just totally avoid enemies by just getting the hell out of Dodge She feels like Catwoman
@@gibramrivera-yv2lowhat makes her so different from the original?? Regardless of what you think of her voice acting (which I think was fine btw), what made the original better at all?
@@And_Hoo_R_U Yeah I don’t mind her voice acting that much. I think it’s just because they took a character that was more playful and mysterious sounding and made her into an emotionless robot. I’m personally okay with the change because I was never much an Ada fan to begin with.
Untrue what do va abbreviated mean voice actor or actress for the highly uneducated this is coming from an theatre kid in schools of the 80’s one being an drama play about gangsters in which I played the villain so your comment made no sense but to hate on her for male misogynistic points.
I get what you mean but just because she's an actress doesn't really mean that's the problem. There's plenty of actresses and actors who have done voice acting roles and did great jobs at it, the actress of RE4R Ada on the other hand just sounds like she's falling asleep or bored af
This felt like a apology for how lame Shadows of Rose was...and that crap was $20! And its plain embarrasing how a 10 bucks DLC campaign is longer and has more content and care put into it than REmake 3. Anyway, between this, the free update to The Mercenaries, and Leon having his RE2 costume, this game is on par with the original...and this is coming from someone who considers the OG the best videogame ever made.
@@onceyougozach2607 His opinion seems pretty nuanced here, saying he's trolling when all he says is that it's not *_THE_* video game sounds far fetched
The biggest pro for doing these remakes is they are built on the numbered game's version of the engine, meaning a lot less time spent on the game compared to the numbered title.
Something about Ada's new VA, I feel like this is less of her fault and more of a voice director's fault kind of scenario considering her voice is fine as is, it just felt emotionless (more so than normal Ada or when compared to the RE2R Ada) either way it sucks that she and she alone got flak for it, I rarely see anybody point out "oh maybe it was a problem with production or oh maybe she wasn't directed well enough for the role" and instead everybody who played RE4R took to social media and harassed the shit out of her
well i do agree it's mostly the the director fault but the VA just making thing worse for herself in that situation by taking it to twitter calling people racist to those who criticize her. I don't know what the director are thinking when hiring her it's either save budget or diversity check or both.
@coldfrost791 yea. It's a bad situation. I haven't played the game but the clips I've seen don't make it look so good. I think at the end of the day, people are intuitive enough to smell a rat. The voice actress is a diversity hire.
I agree about the vocal performance. There are some scenes and line readings that sound very good, and other times when it sounds like the same flat, uninterested delivery from the main game
I blame the directors, not only did Ada and Wesker feel flat and boring but even Leon felt that way at times, they definitely went too far by trying to make the story serious like when they turned Saddler and Salazar into boring, generic and one dimensional cultists rather than the goofy Bond villains that steal every scene they're in
I don’t think that’s the reason, because a couple of the voice actors for the Re4 remake are unionized. Looking at the resumes of Leon’s and Wesker’s voice actors, they state that they’re unionized, for example.
@jackdunc did i really need to elaborate im talking abouy current day unions. They think they are worth way more than they are. Anybody who actually brings value doesn't need a union.
It's weird how Krauser has no interactions with Ada considering how much they did even in base OG RE4. Ada even got the real final blow on him in her story. Maybe for the best considering her new performance.
Yes they did in the OG and it also didn't make any sense.. lot's of things in the OG don't make any sense. Also also Ada dealing the final blow to Krauser in this version wouldn't make any sense because he already had a perfect conclusion with Leon considering they are old comrades.
They didn’t have anything pass that they work for Wesker and saves Leon from Krauser it’s good they separated them Leon and Krauser are done amazingly in this game but when we were chasing Krauser I wish we did have one interaction
To be fair, fighting Krauser as Ada was really unecessary and removes a lot of impact from Leon’s duel. It seems this time around, Krauser was already labled as a traitor by Wesker, so they also had no reason to talk anymore
@@WheresTheLake1 maybe perhaps because black people live in Africa. Who else do you expect to be plagued ? This is no different from re4 having Spanish enemies. THEY’RE IN SPAIN. Your comment is completely dumb
@@antviper135 I just rember back in the day when everybody was hyper focused on re5 being racist because "white man killing black zombies in Africa" when there were other lighter skin toned enemies as well. I'm pretty sure my original comment didn't convey the point I was trying to make very well. I just don't want to see Capcom get chastised again by people who didn't/don't play the games and then begin screaming injustice on Twitter. Also for the one guy who is inevitably going to correct me with "Not zombies bro" I realize they are infected with parasites, but "Zombies" rolls off the tongue a bit better than "plagas infected people" lol
Okay i dont wwant to be to hard but i gotta ask again why didn't they bring ada's re2 remake actress the new actress sounds bored like shes reading things off cue cards.
They didnt because the other VA was a union hire when time came around to hiring for the new re4 game meaning she was not able due to the company she works for.
It took me awhile to love Adas new voice but it really grew on me. People are upset she sounds less sensual and playful but I think it really makes sense for her character. After Raccoon City her and Leon both changed- Ada is working for the bad guy again but shes not necessarily using her charm like she would have back then. Shes a lot more cut and dry, honestly a bit curt. Ada remains straight forward on the agreement with Luis before relenting and aiding him and the others. Honestly, I find most of her charm in the writing and her delivery. I think this makes sense for the Remake version of Ada.
I don't think her vibe is an issue here, RE2R Ada wasn't playful or sensual. The new VA's line deliveries were flat and lacked effort, like when she delivered the line when talking to Wesker in chapter 2 "I wonder *flips page* what has them so riled up?" But she has a potential of being a good VA with better voice directions and training. One of my favorite Lily lines were Ada and Leon on a boat talking about "change", her line was "You? Leon S. Kennedy? You haven't changed, you just think you have" That line alone made feel like she has a potentional of being a good VA, and I hope they don't replace her in the future.
@@brooke278 The same voice direction worked really well with everyone in the cast, except Ada. She was just bad stop trying to convince yourself that she could be good
Say what you will but this is my hill to die on. In RE2R she was way more mysterious with a hint of glamour, in this she's strictly business. Half the time she sounds people say she sounds "tired" she sounds like a professional working another shitty job for the bad guy again. I wouldn't be happy and making double entendres all over the place while in the middle of a crisis of faith. Her voice fits well for her combat dialogue and the way she tries to feign indifference half the time. I honestly prefer this version, it's a little less try hard femme fatale and a more grounded version of the Ada we got to see in 2,
@@gibramrivera-yv2lo the one off hand comment about double entendres isn't any attempt to self insert myself, I'm surprised that's all you got from the comment. But what you're saying is true, I'm not Ada and I'm not claiming to be lol good job?
@@gibramrivera-yv2losurely you're not going to accuse someone of self inserting because they're talking about their perception of the character, then immediately do the same thing talking about how you see the emotions of the character, plus anime pfp so auto trash opinion
I understand how the older re fans are tired of the remakes but I’m glad they’re being made because re4 was my first re game and if it wasn’t for the remakes I wouldn’t have played the older games. I still haven’t played the re1 remake though
Same here ! It’s hard for me to go back to the original trilogy since I never grew up playing them. Can’t deal with fixed cameras & tank controls. I am truly hoping for a modern RE remake.
I played Re1 Remake for the 1st time lasr year, and I platinumed shortly after. Definitely the best Re experience. Followed by Re4 Remake>Re2>=Re2R>Re3 Nemesis
@@MR.__G Just practice. I probably grew up on the same 4/10 copy paste fps games as you and by the time I finished the original RE4 most modern shooters felt wrong
I dunno know bro, i just cant get over Ada's new voice. Its so droll. It should be "i dont care, im ada wong" not "i dont care about voicing ada wong".
I don’t get complaints about how Ada is voiced. In RE2R she was super cliche, typical low quality action flic chick. In RE4R her monotone, emotionless delivery actually sounds interesting and fresh. I totally get the idea.
Got to agree, beyond a solid effort it was genuinely good. My only complaints aside from Ada and Wesker's voice was the downgrade Krauser got from double agent to Steve from Code Veronica. I also really liked that they added back in Weskers turtleneck so I never have to see that stupid grey suit ever again lol
@@victor1625 It made perfect sense. Get in good with the cult, obtain intel and deliver it to Wesker, he sends Ada so Krauser doesn't have to blow his cover while still working on the inside, and Wesker also has a guy on the inside to keep tabs on Ada. His role was way more complex before the downgrade.
Personally, I found Remake Krauser more interesting than OG Krauser. Remake Krauser wanted power for himself, probably to make up for the fact he couldn’t save his unit in Operation Javier. All so he’d never be ‘weak’ again. FatBrett does a great analysis on the RE4 Remake villains.
Hate to burst your bubble but CAPCOMm has confirmed that the next remake is 5 then the original resident evil in the style of the remakes. They have confirmed in an interview they will NOT remake code Veronica, the RE director has stated that CE is too controversial and they would have to change too much (incest in the original story) and that there isn’t enough interest. So in short, you guys can stop asking or hoping for a CE remake, it’s not happening. Confirmed by the RE director. After 5 and RE 1 they are going to start making new Resident evils. So when it’s all done we will have Resident evil 1-5 for remakes.
I have a theory that Ada got her ovaries removed to remove any sort of female emotion. Spies supposedly used to do this. That’s why she’s so “emotionless” in 4 Remake
@JacktheStripper-tc5pn Actually the voice actors were given creative freedom to do their own interpretation on the characters they were playing. This is confirmed by the VAs in the various interviews they did.
Why should we stop complaining? We shouldn't have to just be satisfied with mediocre or simply bad performances, are you suggesting we be grateful and thank these billion dollar corporations when they sell us slop? I won't settle for anything less than perfect, they can afford it afterall
The original Separate Ways was a cobbled together mess that was, at best, sometimes good. This version of SW completely justifies the existence of RE4 Remake. Retooling cut content in interesting ways, tight as fuck gameplay, and having a boss fight in that farm area was brilliant. How many times have we played through that area through the years original and remake and now it houses a boss fight. Great DLC. Worth way more than the $10.
And yet no one asks the important question : How come back in the day separate ways was entirely FREE & we have to pay to play it now, in the RE 4 Remake, in 2023? It's unfair and unfounded...
I love that the ending cutscene uses music from re5, specifically the track that plays when Wesker is recounting his conversation with Spencer. Definitely is hinting at a remake
They need to brighten things up. The reason I lost my love for the series is because everything is so dark all the time. Turn the lights on, light a candle, do something!
I feel like Capcom should just stop with the remakes and do RE9. Remaking Code Veronica or 5 brings with it some problematic can of worms not worth opening anyway considering the times we live in now (I cant imagine how Capcom will do Alfred's characterization tastefully, or the whole "white guy can't shoot black zombies in Africa") Though if they do continue the remake trend I'm betting it'll be RE5 next. I think they will retcon it to make Wesker survive the game, just for him to show up later for RE 9
Not in 7 years. Re9- 2025 Re CV Remake- 2027 Re5 Remake- 2029 20 year anniversary Hopefully Revelations 3 somewhere. Then Re6 Remake- 2032 20 year anniversary
They won't remake 7. They're only remaking their earlier, non-RE Engine games. We'll get a remake of 5 and 6. And maybe Code Veronica (though I doubt it). Then the remake era will be over.
Even though the campaign is more streamlined as a DLC, it comes pretty close to feeling like a complete game and is a lot more fun than most full games in the series (especially 3make and Village)
man i do not understand the discourse with the voice actor. Shes older here, shes more mature. just like leon. leon is just as mono. it fits the theme, the timeline and tone. However, i will say Adas voice acting was miles better in seperate ways than i oringially thought in the main story (again, still didnt think it was as bad as you guys make it out to be).
Re4 Remake is a masterpiece of content now and it was already pretty meaty at launch. Also the merceranies mode is better than ever now and it's STUPID how much fun it is. All this actually made the original Re4 borring to play for me.. something i never thought was possible. Easily game of the year for me, this DLC cemented it. The soundtrack was also 10/10!
Never thought it would be possible either. I just love how better the gameplay is & how much more difficult due to enemy aggression being higher. In my opinion this is the definitive way of playing RE4
I always see people add voice direction to why Ada's voice performance is bad. Everyone else had good performances. Really good ones for some. No one is complaining about anyone else. Just her. I kept thinking about the line deliveries and how much better it could have sounded. I'd have to see her in another role but it sounds like an excuse. This is nitpicky but Ada's heels take me out of it. She's snap her heels or her ankle first jump. In RE2 I can get behind it, since she was in a city, doing spy stuff it seemed. In this one she's been hired as a burglar, spy, and kinda a commando. She'd never wear heels for that kinda job.
Idk man, the whole " being in heels is so impractical!" Which is it, but I've seen tons of men do cartwheels and all kinds of shit in heels. Ada is a very athletic agent, her being able to walk around a facility and castle in heels and then some makes more than enough sense. The only place that she "may" have had some issues would be the muddier areas of the village. A small stumble would've been greatly appreciated and her saying "I need to watch my footing" but idk it's only fat people and unathletic women that say the it's impossible. Because for them it is.
@Sionnachuigim I've worn them. Had a 6ft girlfriend once. Hehe. Fair point about the cartwheels but she's jumping off buildings. No thanks, give me some boots. ;)
@@MonkeyKingsformerroomate yes fair but to be an ass about it, she uses the grappling hook to go both up and down lol. Plus if she didn't have the heel, how would she of held the giants thing in place
Her heels are extremely ridiculous but have also felt like a staple for Ada since the original Re4, I can't really imagine her without them at this point
@@Sionnachuigim It's not impossible but walking around on dirt, roofs and huge rocks (like that scene with Luis) would be extremely difficult and I see why some fans don't like her with heels on, since it's unbelievable (I don't mind personally)
I do think that Ada's new voice actress does a solid job with the cold direction they gave her. I wouldn't say it's bad, it's just different and a little iffy at times.
It's weird how the actress in real life looks so similar to Ada, but she just doesn't sound like her. Makes it clear that voice acting is more than just showing up in a booth and talking.
I honestly think part of it was the recording equipment. Something about how her audio is balanced she doesn't sound in the setting. Stands out amongst the ambience
Had a good time with this and some of your other reviews. Your opinion on continued remakes, however, i hope Capcom ignores. KEEP THE REMAKES COMING! Im loving them. Hope they at least go until RE5 and CV are in the mix... although I'd also be fine with an over the shoulder renake of RE1, as well as an RE0 remake; I'd love the latter be made into a co-op experience.
I wonder what Capcom will do next for the RE series, I don't see them really focusing on remaking RE5 right now so maybe they will focus on producing a RE9
I kinda hate that the industry seems to only focus on remaking perfectly fine, already great games. RE5 and RE6 where flawed games that could have been amazing with just a few tweaks, something that a remake could nail.
@@TIGRETONICO u had me in the 1st half re6 was messy on like a fundamental, conceptual level, while re5 needs to be massively overhauled for it to work
@@TIGRETONICO As much as I love RE6's combat, the story needs more than just tweaking. It needs a massive overhaul. I'd be fine with an RE5 remake as long as they don't remove the boulder punching QTE.
Oh god, I've heard that the VA change was bad, but I've never imagined it would be THIS bad! I feel sorry for the actress because she's horribly miscast here and her voice doesn't suit voice acting to begin with. I say that as someone with some VA experience.
They only casted her because of two reasons, shes asian and because she was the actress to the most recent poorly received RE film adaptation. She played Ada and even there she was bad. She later posted on social media that she was only getting so much hate because a real asian was voicing ada and not a white woman. Then fans of the series really went after her.
@teehee3657 You sound like a sensitive snowflake. This is a critique with factual reports. Think before you comment, this isnt hate. Affirmative action exists, and capcom tried to be cheap in not hiring a professional VA in the field. There hasnt been any other Ada VA that people complained about in such high numbers. She has miniscule talent in this area and tried to blame society for her lack of skill. Im not gunna sprinkle sugar to make it sound better because you dont like how its said, truth is truth no matter how you say it, doesnt make it untrue.
I’ll just say this; The writing and the choice of VA are what failed Ada, and let’s be honest, it failed Wesker and many of the other characters too. The writing and voice directing can make a bad voice actor a little more tolerable, and a good voice actor can take bad material and at least try to present it well… But when both are terrible? Well… You get the last five games worth of characters who act off and sound wrong, way wrong. And then for whatever reason, they’ll somehow get the writing and VA right for random characters; Marvin in 2, Mikhail in 3 and now Luis, Merchant and Mendez in 4. It’s confusing beyond belief. Hire unionized VA’s and stop being fuckin cheap Capcom.
While I agree to some degree I cannot blame VA directors at a higher stanpoint. This is the one VA for ada whohas been complained about, the rest of them did great when portraying ada. But yes, capcom does need to stop being cheap. We need consistency for VAs to iconic characters. Not this inclusive trash just because shes asian. Also yes the writing was bad for her, the whole work and tell, the whole demanor, its was dry and certain parts. The one great part about this DLC was the pitch black regenerator room. Rest was decent with voice acting being abysmal.
I don't really see where this problem with Ada's writing comes from, i really enjoyed her role in this game and saw it as no different from how she was in OG. If you really dislike her EN Voice and the other characters play the game in JP, you will get nothing but performances that fit these characters like a glove. I highly agree on the Union VA's tho.
@teehee3657 Nah, its just you. Society has gotten soft and your one of them. You still havent validated your point where I spout hate. People using words with no clue of its meaning nowadays. Commenting to say nothing at the end of it. Its pathetic
Spoken by someone who probably hasnt played all Ada campaigns. Just a speculation. Ada has always been strong and seductive wether it was 2, 2 remake, 4, 6 etc. She has no emotion, she has no emotional connection to Leon like the previous Ada's VAs. Its a complete downgrade. Very bland performance, you can tell when you compare them. Plus this is the first VA who has never done this before which shows. She was only chosen due to her race and poor acting in the movie. Affirmative action destroyed this beloved character.
People have completely gaslighted themselves over liking this VA Ada impersonation, while: the original RE4 Ada was stellar; RE6 was excellent, the VA even did 2 characters; RE2R was Great to excellent; this is the odd one out and is a disservice to the character and the director, because people will not allow the actress to be criticized, even though her work was subpar when comparing to the previous Adas and subpar when comparing to the rest of the cast.
7:43 they hide all the bosses transformation including the ones from the base game. They use cheap tricks like moving the boss offscreen or hide it using dust or explosions, idk how can anyone call that an improvement over the original xd. How can a 2023 game engine be limited when the original from 2004 didn't have this issue? I guess they are just lazy
It’s more of a time/money issue than laziness. High quality transformation animations take a long time to make. The Dead Space Remake devs spoke about the process of animating the dead captain’s transformation scene and how much work went into it. I do agree that Capcom should include them more often, though.
They couldn't stick with the voice actress because she's a union member and God forbid they use one that they have to pay a humane salary... Always exploit, always crunch.
Why couldn't they stay with the better actress? Easy answer, the new one is Asian American, as such we can not even criticize her performance, without being considered racist. Because of course VAs have to be exactly what they portray, that's what acting is all about, just being yourself and not playing a part. And why do I think that's the real reason, nothing to do with unions etc.. ? Because they instantly pulled out the racism and sexism card, when the criticism began. Nowadays, that's not only a sure sign that your decision was bad, and you just want to disparage anybody criticizing it, it also always shows that the decision that led to the problem had nothing to do with quality of story or portrayal, but all with politics. I'm left-leaning myself, I am liberal, but I hate how this approach ruins so much entertainment.
The racism and sexism card was "pulled out" because that's literally the comments that were left on her page and likely direct messages too. You can still see them on her page even now, being racist over a performance is not criticism.
@@teehee3657 95% of RE2 is backtracking, everything is a locked door or a puzzle to slow you down. If you pictured playing RE2 with no locked doors it would be shockingly short. The environments are also extremely small. Even with RE3 remake having a lot of cut content, it's actually just as long as RE2 because there's no backtracking. We could argue the fact and say RE2 has a lot of extra content but the extra modes aren't that big of a deal. Leon and Claire have very similar campaigns and A and B mode has even been more streamlined compared to the original. The only major differences are the different characters you play as very briefly, and the fact that B mode gives you the true ending, while A mode cuts the game about 15 minutes short and ends when you walk into the train. If RE2 didn't have any locked doors and you integrated the Resident Evil 3 campaign into it, only then would you actually have a complete game that would be just as long as Separate Ways. the events of RE3 overlap with the events of RE2, both games take place on the same night and make up one complete game. Originally they were even going to bundle the RE3 campaign with RE2 and it would be unlocked after finishing the game, but they ultimately decided to sell them both separately. Now the main campaign of RE4 is a beast, and actually has just as much gameplay as 2 and 3 combined by the time you even reach the Castle, but this doesn't necessarily mean hour per hour, it also includes environmental space, how large the games world actually is.
That rendition of Wind of Madness from RE5 at the end of the DLC sounds amazing. Since RE5 remake will be in the same engine, I hope they'll make it so people who owns RE4R will be able to use RE4 characters/loadout in RE5 Mercenaries.
I'm really looking forward to RE5 Remake. I get sick of hearing fans say that Code Veronica MUST be remade to set up Whesker. They really are overestimating how much set up a character like that needs. He's a mad eugenicist matrix villain-- this DLC is all a new player needs to understand he's evil lol besides, were never going back to zombies and survival horror- capcom couldn't even maintain that style for more than one game before reverting to action again with RE3R. They should continue with this new RE4R style of combat and treasure hunting even for new games like RE9. this style never fully got its time in the sun, being completely lost by the time RE6 came out
We don't know anything about this Wesker, we barely know this Chris, and no rivalry was yet stablished...a remake of 5 without CV first will make no sense.
@@Jose-se9pu The setup between Whesker and Chris really doesn't matter. I played RE5 back when it came out without even knowing Code Veronica existed at the time. It still made sense just knowing RE1. We still have RE1 remake on modern consoles, but Chris was also established in RE7 + Village for new fans who won't play RE1R because of tank controls. DLC Whesker was introduced here as a mysterious madman who wants to end humanity. All they need to do is have chris recap his past with whesker at the beginning of RE5R and new players will be all set

It wasn't canon as far as I know and was honestly even more bare bones than the original separate ways, which at least had new weapons and one new/remixed locations. AA can be beaten in about 5 minutes too 😆
The costume as an unlockable would've been nice though
@@krusselscout2997 That would be the logical choice. Isn't there meant to be one more bit of DLC coming?
Ada sounds like a disgruntled hot topic employee
What really made me not like Lily Gao, was her playing the race card, deflecting from her bad VA, sounding like Ben Stein with her monotone voice.
get over it man@@knowwhatimeme
I actually thought the actress did a better job in the DLC. More calm confident. It's a shame "fans" had to attack and threaten her on social media and forced her to delete everything. Even if you hate the performance she didn't deserve any of that. Makes Re fans look like a bunch of entitled, whiney, and childish weirdos.
Not just RE fans but a lot of gamers are that disgusting in general, people did the same to Laura Bailey when she played Abby from TLOU2 and even threatened her kid, all because of her characters actions.
I cheesed so hard when Wesker said that 😂
It doesn't have the same charm to it though without his over-the-top Saturday morning cartoon voice
This is a solid little expansion, I think it's way better than the original separate ways. It's nothing too groundbreaking or anything but I like that Ada is more apt to sneak around and just totally avoid enemies by just getting the hell out of Dodge
She feels like Catwoman

Untrue what do va abbreviated mean voice actor or actress for the highly uneducated this is coming from an theatre kid in schools of the 80’s one being an drama play about gangsters in which I played the villain so your comment made no sense but to hate on her for male misogynistic points.
@@centrevezgaming4862 use your brain a little what do you think it means
I get what you mean but just because she's an actress doesn't really mean that's the problem. There's plenty of actresses and actors who have done voice acting roles and did great jobs at it, the actress of RE4R Ada on the other hand just sounds like she's falling asleep or bored af
@@SlurpyPie well yeah not all actors obviously
This felt like a apology for how lame Shadows of Rose was...and that crap was $20!
And its plain embarrasing how a 10 bucks DLC campaign is longer and has more content and care put into it than REmake 3.
Anyway, between this, the free update to The Mercenaries, and Leon having his RE2 costume, this game is on par with the original...and this is coming from someone who considers the OG the best videogame ever made.
Re 4 is not the best video game of all time. The Separate Ways remake is far superior than the OG Separate Ways.
@@jackjax7921OGRE4 is the GOAT, but RSW is far better than OGSW, reason why I said both games are now on the same level.

@@onceyougozach2607 His opinion seems pretty nuanced here, saying he's trolling when all he says is that it's not *_THE_* video game sounds far fetched
The biggest pro for doing these remakes is they are built on the numbered game's version of the engine, meaning a lot less time spent on the game compared to the numbered title.
Something about Ada's new VA, I feel like this is less of her fault and more of a voice director's fault kind of scenario considering her voice is fine as is, it just felt emotionless (more so than normal Ada or when compared to the RE2R Ada) either way it sucks that she and she alone got flak for it, I rarely see anybody point out "oh maybe it was a problem with production or oh maybe she wasn't directed well enough for the role" and instead everybody who played RE4R took to social media and harassed the shit out of her
Yeah most of the time its bad dirrection or just a bad actor or a good actor with a role they ain't suited well with.
Probably, the actress sounds a tot better here than in the main campaign.
I think she has autistic vibes which is kinda fun
well i do agree it's mostly the the director fault but the VA just making thing worse for herself in that situation by taking it to twitter calling people racist to those who criticize her. I don't know what the director are thinking when hiring her it's either save budget or diversity check or both.
@coldfrost791 yea. It's a bad situation. I haven't played the game but the clips I've seen don't make it look so good. I think at the end of the day, people are intuitive enough to smell a rat. The voice actress is a diversity hire.
I agree about the vocal performance. There are some scenes and line readings that sound very good, and other times when it sounds like the same flat, uninterested delivery from the main game
Most of the ones that were in the original Game sound Bad, most the ones on separate ways are way better, ig they we're recorded after the backlash
@@ExordioAda is just awful the entire time
I blame the directors, not only did Ada and Wesker feel flat and boring but even Leon felt that way at times, they definitely went too far by trying to make the story serious like when they turned Saddler and Salazar into boring, generic and one dimensional cultists rather than the goofy Bond villains that steal every scene they're in
I really don’t get the hate for this Ada . I think she does a fine job .
The re2r VA became unionized, thats why they didnt reuse her
I don’t think that’s the reason, because a couple of the voice actors for the Re4 remake are unionized. Looking at the resumes of Leon’s and Wesker’s voice actors, they state that they’re unionized, for example.
Unions suck. Be good at your job and you don't have to worry
@@thegreatpiginthesky3904 If it weren't for unions we wouldn't have 95% of the worker's rights we do today.

@@thegreatpiginthesky3904 nope
It's weird how Krauser has no interactions with Ada considering how much they did even in base OG RE4. Ada even got the real final blow on him in her story. Maybe for the best considering her new performance.
Yes they did in the OG and it also didn't make any sense.. lot's of things in the OG don't make any sense. Also also Ada dealing the final blow to Krauser in this version wouldn't make any sense because he already had a perfect conclusion with Leon considering they are old comrades.
They didn’t have anything pass that they work for Wesker and saves Leon from Krauser it’s good they separated them Leon and Krauser are done amazingly in this game but when we were chasing Krauser I wish we did have one interaction
To be fair, fighting Krauser as Ada was really unecessary and removes a lot of impact from Leon’s duel. It seems this time around, Krauser was already labled as a traitor by Wesker, so they also had no reason to talk anymore

I just don't want to see Capcom get chastised again by people who didn't/don't play the games and then begin screaming injustice on Twitter.

I finished the DLC when it came out but still here listening to you talk about it, you're fkn so entertaining man.
Okay i dont wwant to be to hard but i gotta ask again why didn't they bring ada's re2 remake actress the new actress sounds bored like shes reading things off cue cards.
@amazonalexa3 that's not true. Hunnigan is voiced by Reylene Harewood in the RE4R, Ada in RE2R is voiced by Jolene Anderson.
They didnt because the other VA was a union hire when time came around to hiring for the new re4 game meaning she was not able due to the company she works for.
It took me awhile to love Adas new voice but it really grew on me. People are upset she sounds less sensual and playful but I think it really makes sense for her character. After Raccoon City her and Leon both changed- Ada is working for the bad guy again but shes not necessarily using her charm like she would have back then.
Shes a lot more cut and dry, honestly a bit curt. Ada remains straight forward on the agreement with Luis before relenting and aiding him and the others.
Honestly, I find most of her charm in the writing and her delivery. I think this makes sense for the Remake version of Ada.
I don't think her vibe is an issue here, RE2R Ada wasn't playful or sensual. The new VA's line deliveries were flat and lacked effort, like when she delivered the line when talking to Wesker in chapter 2 "I wonder *flips page* what has them so riled up?" But she has a potential of being a good VA with better voice directions and training. One of my favorite Lily lines were Ada and Leon on a boat talking about "change", her line was "You? Leon S. Kennedy? You haven't changed, you just think you have" That line alone made feel like she has a potentional of being a good VA, and I hope they don't replace her in the future.
@@brooke278 The same voice direction worked really well with everyone in the cast, except Ada. She was just bad stop trying to convince yourself that she could be good
Say what you will but this is my hill to die on. In RE2R she was way more mysterious with a hint of glamour, in this she's strictly business. Half the time she sounds people say she sounds "tired" she sounds like a professional working another shitty job for the bad guy again. I wouldn't be happy and making double entendres all over the place while in the middle of a crisis of faith. Her voice fits well for her combat dialogue and the way she tries to feign indifference half the time.
I honestly prefer this version, it's a little less try hard femme fatale and a more grounded version of the Ada we got to see in 2,

Well put
I don’t get complaints about how Ada is voiced. In RE2R she was super cliche, typical low quality action flic chick. In RE4R her monotone, emotionless delivery actually sounds interesting and fresh. I totally get the idea.
Because it sounds like shit. Sally Cahill did monotone sexy well.
@@RexVergstrong I'm sure there's a "your mom" joke here somewhere.
The best fix for Ada's voice is to play the game with Japanese voices, haha.
Got to agree, beyond a solid effort it was genuinely good. My only complaints aside from Ada and Wesker's voice was the downgrade Krauser got from double agent to Steve from Code Veronica. I also really liked that they added back in Weskers turtleneck so I never have to see that stupid grey suit ever again lol
krauser double agent made no sense
The vest was snazzy
@@victor1625 It made perfect sense. Get in good with the cult, obtain intel and deliver it to Wesker, he sends Ada so Krauser doesn't have to blow his cover while still working on the inside, and Wesker also has a guy on the inside to keep tabs on Ada. His role was way more complex before the downgrade.
Personally, I found Remake Krauser more interesting than OG Krauser. Remake Krauser wanted power for himself, probably to make up for the fact he couldn’t save his unit in Operation Javier. All so he’d never be ‘weak’ again. FatBrett does a great analysis on the RE4 Remake villains.
@gibramrivera-yv2lo it's more interesting than him having a mad boner for Wesker like he did in the original, to be honest.
Every review I’ve seen so far: “RE4 should be the last remake”
Code Veronica and most of the fans: “Am I a joke to you?” 😂
The silent minority: "Yes, you literally are!"
*que everything Steve Burnside and Alfred Spencer in that game* 😂
They’re about 50% of the reasons it needs a remake though,I ain’t mad it’s just disappointing it’ll probably never happen, such wasted potential
Hate to burst your bubble but CAPCOMm has confirmed that the next remake is 5 then the original resident evil in the style of the remakes.
They have confirmed in an interview they will NOT remake code Veronica, the RE director has stated that CE is too controversial and they would have to change too much (incest in the original story) and that there isn’t enough interest.
So in short, you guys can stop asking or hoping for a CE remake, it’s not happening. Confirmed by the RE director.
After 5 and RE 1 they are going to start making new Resident evils. So when it’s all done we will have Resident evil 1-5 for remakes.
@@TheRealCommonSenseGuy sounds like a whole lotta bullshit
@@TheRealCommonSenseGuy Source?
I have a theory that Ada got her ovaries removed to remove any sort of female emotion. Spies supposedly used to do this. That’s why she’s so “emotionless” in 4 Remake
That’s some grade A cope right there
She's emotionless because a bad VA was told to act overly serious by bad directors. Modern games take themselves way too seriously
@JacktheStripper-tc5pn Actually the voice actors were given creative freedom to do their own interpretation on the characters they were playing. This is confirmed by the VAs in the various interviews they did.
@@MaximumPayine They were given creative freedom? Now that's just sad
This VA is perfectly fine. Fits Ada better than RE2R’s. Stop complaining.
Why should we stop complaining? We shouldn't have to just be satisfied with mediocre or simply bad performances, are you suggesting we be grateful and thank these billion dollar corporations when they sell us slop? I won't settle for anything less than perfect, they can afford it afterall
The original Separate Ways was a cobbled together mess that was, at best, sometimes good. This version of SW completely justifies the existence of RE4 Remake.
Retooling cut content in interesting ways, tight as fuck gameplay, and having a boss fight in that farm area was brilliant. How many times have we played through that area through the years original and remake and now it houses a boss fight.
Great DLC. Worth way more than the $10.
Ada acts differently depending on which character she talks to. I think that was the intent of the actress.
Downloading it now. Only 10 bucks and it's bigger and better than the entire 3emake? Hell yeah
So Ada either hit her head or had a quick full-frontal lobotomy.....
She left her emotions somewhere deep under Raccoon City 😐
I wish Boudler Punch who did the RE5 video would come back. He did a really good job with that video.
And yet no one asks the important question : How come back in the day separate ways was entirely FREE & we have to pay to play it now, in the RE 4 Remake, in 2023? It's unfair and unfounded...
OG Separate ways was technically full priced. Because you had to buy the ps2 port to play it. It wasn’t on GC
On top of that it's not even the original DLC, it's just paying extra for content that was cut from the main game
RE5R is 95% confirmed at this point
When you realize that this DLC is longer and better than the entirety of RE3R 💀
Love your work
I love that the ending cutscene uses music from re5, specifically the track that plays when Wesker is recounting his conversation with Spencer. Definitely is hinting at a remake
They need to brighten things up. The reason I lost my love for the series is because everything is so dark all the time. Turn the lights on, light a candle, do something!
I feel like Capcom should just stop with the remakes and do RE9. Remaking Code Veronica or 5 brings with it some problematic can of worms not worth opening anyway considering the times we live in now (I cant imagine how Capcom will do Alfred's characterization tastefully, or the whole "white guy can't shoot black zombies in Africa")
Though if they do continue the remake trend I'm betting it'll be RE5 next. I think they will retcon it to make Wesker survive the game, just for him to show up later for RE 9
With all these remakes coming out, we might reach RE7 remake in 6-7 years time.
Not in 7 years.
Re9- 2025
Re CV Remake- 2027
Re5 Remake- 2029 20 year anniversary
Hopefully Revelations 3 somewhere.
Then Re6 Remake- 2032 20 year anniversary
dont see RE7 getting one.
They won't remake 7. They're only remaking their earlier, non-RE Engine games. We'll get a remake of 5 and 6. And maybe Code Veronica (though I doubt it). Then the remake era will be over.
Even though the campaign is more streamlined as a DLC, it comes pretty close to feeling like a complete game and is a lot more fun than most full games in the series (especially 3make and Village)
Ada’s voice is just fine. Idk why people have a problem with it she sounds sexy af to me
man i do not understand the discourse with the voice actor. Shes older here, shes more mature. just like leon. leon is just as mono. it fits the theme, the timeline and tone. However, i will say Adas voice acting was miles better in seperate ways than i oringially thought in the main story (again, still didnt think it was as bad as you guys make it out to be).
Re4 Remake is a masterpiece of content now and it was already pretty meaty at launch. Also the merceranies mode is better than ever now and it's STUPID how much fun it is. All this actually made the original Re4 borring to play for me.. something i never thought was possible. Easily game of the year for me, this DLC cemented it. The soundtrack was also 10/10!
Never thought it would be possible either. I just love how better the gameplay is & how much more difficult due to enemy aggression being higher. In my opinion this is the definitive way of playing RE4
One of the few reviewers I can trust

You shouldn't trust people who punch Boulders its dangerous
@@sugma3475 Yes, between shills and attention whores ppl like Boulder are a treasure
I always see people add voice direction to why Ada's voice performance is bad. Everyone else had good performances. Really good ones for some. No one is complaining about anyone else. Just her. I kept thinking about the line deliveries and how much better it could have sounded. I'd have to see her in another role but it sounds like an excuse.
This is nitpicky but Ada's heels take me out of it. She's snap her heels or her ankle first jump. In RE2 I can get behind it, since she was in a city, doing spy stuff it seemed. In this one she's been hired as a burglar, spy, and kinda a commando. She'd never wear heels for that kinda job.
Idk man, the whole " being in heels is so impractical!" Which is it, but I've seen tons of men do cartwheels and all kinds of shit in heels. Ada is a very athletic agent, her being able to walk around a facility and castle in heels and then some makes more than enough sense. The only place that she "may" have had some issues would be the muddier areas of the village. A small stumble would've been greatly appreciated and her saying "I need to watch my footing" but idk it's only fat people and unathletic women that say the it's impossible. Because for them it is.
@Sionnachuigim I've worn them. Had a 6ft girlfriend once. Hehe. Fair point about the cartwheels but she's jumping off buildings. No thanks, give me some boots. ;)

Favorite part of these reviews is the people in the comments saying they beat RE3 remake in 3 hours their first try.
😂
I do think that Ada's new voice actress does a solid job with the cold direction they gave her. I wouldn't say it's bad, it's just different and a little iffy at times.
It's weird how the actress in real life looks so similar to Ada, but she just doesn't sound like her.
Makes it clear that voice acting is more than just showing up in a booth and talking.
I honestly think part of it was the recording equipment. Something about how her audio is balanced she doesn't sound in the setting. Stands out amongst the ambience
Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Should of had this song in the end credits lol.
Had a good time with this and some of your other reviews. Your opinion on continued remakes, however, i hope Capcom ignores. KEEP THE REMAKES COMING! Im loving them. Hope they at least go until RE5 and CV are in the mix... although I'd also be fine with an over the shoulder renake of RE1, as well as an RE0 remake; I'd love the latter be made into a co-op experience.

Oh god, I've heard that the VA change was bad, but I've never imagined it would be THIS bad! I feel sorry for the actress because she's horribly miscast here and her voice doesn't suit voice acting to begin with. I say that as someone with some VA experience.
They only casted her because of two reasons, shes asian and because she was the actress to the most recent poorly received RE film adaptation. She played Ada and even there she was bad. She later posted on social media that she was only getting so much hate because a real asian was voicing ada and not a white woman. Then fans of the series really went after her.

I’ll just say this; The writing and the choice of VA are what failed Ada, and let’s be honest, it failed Wesker and many of the other characters too.
The writing and voice directing can make a bad voice actor a little more tolerable, and a good voice actor can take bad material and at least try to present it well…
But when both are terrible? Well… You get the last five games worth of characters who act off and sound wrong, way wrong.
And then for whatever reason, they’ll somehow get the writing and VA right for random characters; Marvin in 2, Mikhail in 3 and now Luis, Merchant and Mendez in 4. It’s confusing beyond belief.
Hire unionized VA’s and stop being fuckin cheap Capcom.
While I agree to some degree I cannot blame VA directors at a higher stanpoint. This is the one VA for ada whohas been complained about, the rest of them did great when portraying ada. But yes, capcom does need to stop being cheap. We need consistency for VAs to iconic characters. Not this inclusive trash just because shes asian. Also yes the writing was bad for her, the whole work and tell, the whole demanor, its was dry and certain parts. The one great part about this DLC was the pitch black regenerator room. Rest was decent with voice acting being abysmal.
I don't really see where this problem with Ada's writing comes from, i really enjoyed her role in this game and saw it as no different from how she was in OG. If you really dislike her EN Voice and the other characters play the game in JP, you will get nothing but performances that fit these characters like a glove. I highly agree on the Union VA's tho.

Spoken by someone who probably hasnt played all Ada campaigns. Just a speculation. Ada has always been strong and seductive wether it was 2, 2 remake, 4, 6 etc. She has no emotion, she has no emotional connection to Leon like the previous Ada's VAs. Its a complete downgrade. Very bland performance, you can tell when you compare them. Plus this is the first VA who has never done this before which shows. She was only chosen due to her race and poor acting in the movie. Affirmative action destroyed this beloved character.

Literally everyone has criticized her performance, some people just took it too far and started harassing the actress.

It’s more of a time/money issue than laziness. High quality transformation animations take a long time to make. The Dead Space Remake devs spoke about the process of animating the dead captain’s transformation scene and how much work went into it. I do agree that Capcom should include them more often, though.
@@x-ScaryBerry-x but how did they do them back in 2004? Did they have bigger budget and more time back then ?
@@andreww8055 Maybe that, and probably an RE Engine limitation like Boulder mentioned in the video.
I like the new voice for Ada..its assertive❤
A Dino Crisis Remake would be fire
They couldn't stick with the voice actress because she's a union member and God forbid they use one that they have to pay a humane salary... Always exploit, always crunch.
Day 1 of asking boulder punch to make more longer form Videos
Why couldn't they stay with the better actress?
Easy answer, the new one is Asian American, as such we can not even criticize her performance, without being considered racist.
Because of course VAs have to be exactly what they portray, that's what acting is all about, just being yourself and not playing a part.
And why do I think that's the real reason, nothing to do with unions etc.. ? Because they instantly pulled out the racism and sexism card, when the criticism began.
Nowadays, that's not only a sure sign that your decision was bad, and you just want to disparage anybody criticizing it, it also always shows that the decision that led to the problem had nothing to do with quality of story or portrayal, but all with politics.
I'm left-leaning myself, I am liberal, but I hate how this approach ruins so much entertainment.
The racism and sexism card was "pulled out" because that's literally the comments that were left on her page and likely direct messages too. You can still see them on her page even now, being racist over a performance is not criticism.
Good God, no.. let them work on something that is NOT RE, specially with that Wesker.
"why not stop making remakes" Nah fucked that shit, I want the entire series on the RE engine for a seamless experience.
Everytime I look at tye opening cut scene makes me think of the Mask Of Zorro
The music of this DLC was outstanding fosho
Instead of 'mate' the merchant should have called her darlin'.
Shocked it was only 10 bucks, more than worth it and it's longer than RE 2 and 3.
It's not longer than Re2
@@teehee3657 95% of RE2 is backtracking, everything is a locked door or a puzzle to slow you down. If you pictured playing RE2 with no locked doors it would be shockingly short. The environments are also extremely small. Even with RE3 remake having a lot of cut content, it's actually just as long as RE2 because there's no backtracking.
We could argue the fact and say RE2 has a lot of extra content but the extra modes aren't that big of a deal. Leon and Claire have very similar campaigns and A and B mode has even been more streamlined compared to the original. The only major differences are the different characters you play as very briefly, and the fact that B mode gives you the true ending, while A mode cuts the game about 15 minutes short and ends when you walk into the train.
If RE2 didn't have any locked doors and you integrated the Resident Evil 3 campaign into it, only then would you actually have a complete game that would be just as long as Separate Ways. the events of RE3 overlap with the events of RE2, both games take place on the same night and make up one complete game. Originally they were even going to bundle the RE3 campaign with RE2 and it would be unlocked after finishing the game, but they ultimately decided to sell them both separately.
Now the main campaign of RE4 is a beast, and actually has just as much gameplay as 2 and 3 combined by the time you even reach the Castle, but this doesn't necessarily mean hour per hour, it also includes environmental space, how large the games world actually is.
I hope capcom listens to the fan vote for Code Veronica remake next.
That rendition of Wind of Madness from RE5 at the end of the DLC sounds amazing.
Since RE5 remake will be in the same engine, I hope they'll make it so people who owns RE4R will be able to use RE4 characters/loadout in RE5 Mercenaries.
I'm kinda surprised they aren't doing a re1 remake with a Wesker dlc
I prefer og to remake 🤷♂️
I hope Ada is in RE 5 as she may help Chris and Sheva stop Wesker.
I doubt it, I think they'll make Wesker have some connection Simmons and what he did to her in that game tho
I'm really looking forward to RE5 Remake. I get sick of hearing fans say that Code Veronica MUST be remade to set up Whesker. They really are overestimating how much set up a character like that needs. He's a mad eugenicist matrix villain-- this DLC is all a new player needs to understand he's evil lol besides, were never going back to zombies and survival horror- capcom couldn't even maintain that style for more than one game before reverting to action again with RE3R. They should continue with this new RE4R style of combat and treasure hunting even for new games like RE9. this style never fully got its time in the sun, being completely lost by the time RE6 came out
It’s must be made cause it’s in the top five of resident evil games
We don't know anything about this Wesker, we barely know this Chris, and no rivalry was yet stablished...a remake of 5 without CV first will make no sense.
@@Jose-se9pu The setup between Whesker and Chris really doesn't matter. I played RE5 back when it came out without even knowing Code Veronica existed at the time. It still made sense just knowing RE1. We still have RE1 remake on modern consoles, but Chris was also established in RE7 + Village for new fans who won't play RE1R because of tank controls. DLC Whesker was introduced here as a mysterious madman who wants to end humanity.
All they need to do is have chris recap his past with whesker at the beginning of RE5R and new players will be all set
re1make has normal analog controls too@@mattmas6628
He said the thing! Gods i love Wesker.
Ada consistently has one single, flat facial expression the entire DLC. It kind of pulls me out of the experience
