    Overall, the remake is a commendable effort, but the persistent crashing associated with high VRAM usage is a notable concern that I hope receives prompt attention. While some PC adaptations disappoint, Resident Evil 4's PC launch is relatively commendable. The current trend of developers overlooking PC optimization is unfortunate and may sway gamers towards consoles if it continues.Overall, the remake is a commendable effort, but the persistent crashing associated with high VRAM usage is a notable concern that I hope receives prompt attention.

    If you would like to enjoy the game , play Chapter 11 , Luis and Leon Chapter , the rest is **** and the original Resident Evil 4 is way better , here Leon and Ashley are just couple of teenagers overreacting and overdoing to attract each other

    Never played the original, so I come unbiased to this mess.
    This is not a 2023 game, its clunky, not original, and you have to babysit Ashley for 1/2 of the game.
    I did not enjoy this game at all. Chapter 7 is by far the worst part, where you have to protect ashley (again) but this time w/ limited supplies and a **** ton of enemies.... Has no one tested this section before hand and

    I'll preface this by saying I never played the original and this is my first experience with the RE4.

    The graphics rework on this is just stunning. One of the best , if not the best I've seen. Everything form the lighting textures, effects, everything is just 10/10. That being said, the game play is a little ..meh. It's kind of fun for the first 2 hours of the game or so, it

    That being said, the game play is a little ..meh. It's kind of fun for the first 2 hours of the game or so, it just becomes point, mash buttons and run around after that.

    The puzzles are uninspired to say the least, either too simple or just stupidly obtuse.

    Compare this to a similar modern title like shadow of the tomb raider and it just becomes silly.

    There are some truly unique experiences to be had, I won't spoil them in this review.

    It's really linear , though you can go back and do things you missed, especially in the partner mode.

    I got through chapter 14 and just couldn't finish it, it just became more of the same old annoying so I just put it down, maybe one day i'll go back and complete....but probably not..i just don't care what happens.

    The voice acting, especially the supporting characters is kinda mediocre.

    The story is old rewashed hero's journey....maybe that worked at the first release but it doesn't now,

    This definitely isn't a 60 dollar title...maybe 20 bucks. Wait for it to go on sale, except for the graphics, you ain't missing anything special.

    Pretty good remake all things considered however what I can't see past is the crashing that occurs with high VRAM usage and hopefully this is something that gets patched soon. Considering though how bad some games get ported over to pc (hogwarts legacy comes to mind) this is a pretty good release.

    It's a shame developers seem to neglect optimization for PC these days if that trend continues it'll be tough to keep committing to being a pc gamer rather than console. However, Res 4 is not completely broken it just requires lowering of some settings to resolve the crashing till a fix is pushed out.

    The game looks good but it shouldn't need 16GB of VRAM for max settings that's ridiculous cyberpunk looks 10x better than Res 4 and I can run that maxed out no problems.

    This is an incredibly well made game, but it SORELY lacks the heart of the original. It IS still a good product, but it is not a faithful remake. I feel they played this way too safe, and focused too much on the technical side.

    Por lo demás el juego se hace aburrido enseguida, solo lo puedo recomendar para fans del original.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With the original Resident Evil 4 the team set out to make something new and allowed the game to take the shape it wanted to, they caught lightning in a bottle and history was made. Why Capcom thought they could do this twice is beyond me.

    Pros:

    -The combat actually feels good, the impact from your physical attacks respond well to the environment
    - I like how they improved the Gigante fight by having the dog do more doing the fight. He even stays after the fight so you can thank him personally. The goodest boi!
    - Luis is a more long term coop buddy allowing you to form a stronger bond with him
    - The Merchant
    - The improved shooting gallery
    - The Donkey Kong Mine cart section is way more fun
    - They expand on Krauser and Luis' backstories, for the better in my opinion.

    Cons:

    - U3 Boss fight from the original was cut
    - Remember when they removed all the jokes pertaining to Ashley's body and anything that remotely seemed like flirting from RE4VR? Well they did the same thing here and replaced them all with awful MCU quips, as is the style of the time.
    - Speaking of Ashley, Capcom is well aware of the public perception of the original Ashley and as a result they have over corrected to the point where the game tries to trick you in to thinking she's more useful by constantly having her spout dialogue like "We're a team! Right Leon?". Yes Capcom, we get it, we can't have a damsel in distress in stories anymore! If you looked anymore insecure I would think you didn't actually care and you wanted to increase your ESG score! (Fyi there was nothing wrong with Ashley in the original, you were just bad at the game!)
    - The voice acting is serviceable in most places but the voices for Krauser and Ada can't be described as anything else than terrible. Whoever was in charge of casting should be fired because I don't know how a blunder like that got past the radar.
    - The Castle while still present was shortened significantly from the original.
    - Separate Ways is paid DLC-- WHAT
    - Mercenaries not available at launch. Supposed to be a free update and I'm hoping against hope it's not a live service trap. (Hah!)
    - PC version has Denuvo

    In conclusion, game's not bad but it's not the new masterpiece critics and certain fans say it is. A good remake keeps the foundation of what made the original good and adds on to it, this is not what I see here. As I mentioned before the original was something new and it took the form it wanted to take, this one while it does some things better is also being held back by cutting out content and adhering to modern sensibilities to the point where it's embarrassed to be associated with the cheesiness and B movie fun of the original. If you really want to check this out and you haven't played the original yet I highly recommend playing the original first, it still holds up, it's on sale all the time and the HD project mod breathes new life in to the game that is so good it honestly makes this remake irrelevant. There really is no reason for this game to exist when we could have gotten a remake of Code Veronica instead.

    Not worth it.

    The game looks good, but hey it's 2023 and it's RE Engine, that much had to be expected, it also runs great! On an overclocked 4090 that is! The game is horribly unstable, crashes all the time, I had to replay the same parts multiple times because of the game crashing not near a type writer or a checkpoint, it may crash every 10minutes or every 2 hours, but it's a pain.

    The censorship was really unnecessary. It's a girl in a skirt and a couple jokes, just because a couple of people from twitter find them offensive now we gotta play a censored version of the game? We really need to dress Ashley more? What, are we back in 1800 where women couldn't show any skin or something? It's a videogame, not real life, and she doesn't even exist, so just leave her the way she was in the original, because yes those jokes and situations (that have been removed in the remake) where funny and gave the game part of it's personality, removing them makes the whole thing a bit more shallow.

    The lack of DLSS is the icing on the cake, I get it that the game is sponsored by AMD, but FSR sucks quality wise, it's looks like literal garbage. Even the little preview image in the settings where you have the toggle shows you an incredibly blurry image.
    There is a DLSS mod even though I had no luck with it, welp, thankfully I have a 4090, but if you don't do know that you can't enjoy max quality with DLSS thanks to AMD.

    Overall pretty disappointing, it's a watered down and more boring with less personality version of Resident Evil 4 with pretty graphics that crashes a lot of times.
    Don't buy this, and don't buy stuff that has been filtered by the Twitter Politically Correct Police, I did and regretted it.

    Update:
    A note that I have to add about voice acting.
    In my opinion almost everyone did a good job, but Ada was really subpar, Ada has a specific personality and her lines are meant to be read and played in a specific way, Lily Gao fails in doing this.
    Ada sounds bored, and rather than sounding like Ada it seems like she's trying to be Aloy from Forbidden West or any other generic wannabe bad female character, it's boring, repetitive, doesn't fit the character and quite frankly throws you off the immersion.

    Also, ignore those who discard negative reviews as **** trolls", no, those are legit complaints. The fact that some don't agree with it doesn't mean that who they don't agree with is a troll.

    This game doesn't support DLSS even though it came out for PC

    And this remake too followed the graphic resources of the original re4

    So even though it came out later than re8village, it is less sophisticated and messier than re8village's graphics.

There are a few things that kept this remake from swimming in the same territory of greatness as the original. The game needs iframes badly. The enemies and bosses can hit you over and over before you can properly recover. This gets extremely frustrating. In the original, Leon moves stiffly but is swift once you start running. In the remake Leon is really clunky(not the same as stiff) and it makes running feel really off, and in fights it can be infuriating. Its significantly worse than the running in "The Witcher 3". I don't care if it makes his movement more real, its not immersive because it makes movement really frustrating. In the last fight, right before you fire the red rocket at Saddler, I got stunned locked by the tentacle and almost died. I couldn't do anything but watch Leon take 4 hits from the tentacles. That is just one example of nearly a hundred in one playthrough. How many of you have called bullcrap on dynamite sticks being thrown at you?

    The game has a difficulty problem as well, it throws wild curve balls at you from time to time. I started on hardcore and the opening was getting to me. Until I realized that the time you have to survive is shorter than the original, but it was well done. The fight with Mendez was a joke, the second part of it was just scripted/movie garbage, not real gameplay. The fight with Lago was really easy this time, you don't fall off the boat if you hit the trees in the water....Then there are parts that are very very difficult such as the Regeneratos and Iron Maidens. They are much too fast for how clunky Leon is. They were difficult in the original, but here they are nightmarish. The Novistadors have been reduced to absolute cannon fodder, why are they even in the game?

    Last and probably least are the design choices, some of this might be nitpicking on my part but I will list some anyway. Ada's voice in English is horrendously bad, its jarring, it takes me out of the experience of the game. Its like something out of a Neil Breen movie. Krauser's is quite bad too, horrible voice, but unlike Ada's, at least the voice actor is trying to act and not read lines like he's dying from a serious case of boredom. The game is going for a darker, more horror look over the original and in most areas I think it succeeds, but when it doesn't it fails miserably. Take the wolf enemies for example, they look too chubby and almost cute. In the original they looked like real animals and thus a bit scary to fight. Chief Mendez too, he just looks like a big chunky dude, not sinister like in the original. The first Garrador was not only too easy, but they also removed his torturous and unnerving scream. The Chainsaw maniac's eyes are too bright and cutesy...Ugh why? Then they removed the one fight in the original that can be scary or at least creepy, the fight with "It". I was also hoping they wouldn't load the game with needless cursing, but its 2023 and it was naïve to hope for that. The game doesn't have mercenaries either which I find very disappointing.

    The game is totally worth it and if they were to patch some of the things I mentioned, then the remake could stand next to the original easily. I am starting to convince myself that some people were right about the RE Engine, its not very good, at least not for RE4's much faster gameplay.

I think the term has lost its meaning or maybe because gaming has become too mainstream and for the most part petty that the moment a game hits the minimum, folks would scream masterpiece.

    I don't understand why capcom don't want to remake their games the way they did with the 1st remake which was the remastered/remade RE game that got released on Gamecube and later on ported to steam and next gen consoles. To this day, I still think that is the perfect remake of a classic and it even got rid of the need to bother and play the PS1 OG Resident Evil. They did a great job with 2 Remake though . I'm not going to talk about 3 Remake, it was horrible.

    Sadly, RE 4 remake didn't quite live up to the OG. Cut content as usual, removing a lot of personality from the game, removing many cheesy yet iconic lines making the game so bland . RE 4 was never about horror . That claustrophobic, puzzle solving and strategic horror-survival element ended with 3 . RE 4 was just a goofy, yet funny and lively b-movie like game full of action and character, you remove that aspect and you simply end up with a generic action game .

    I've read many reviews in here, and I don't believe this is trolling. You can clearly see people bringing many solid points on why they did not like the game. I give it a 5 because like I said it's an okay remake especially after the atrocity that we got not too long ago.

    After this remake, now I'm certain that capcom don't really care about the old fans anymore, and they're just making games for a completely new audience, and clearly, they don't even like the original games. I think maybe we, old RE fans, should move on and forget about this franchise

    For those who wanna play it, wait till the game gets cheaper.

    Not enough that players are robbed of 60 bucks, they are flat out forced to play with the Denuvo-Virus.

    The game itself is more of a horde-mode 3rd-person shooter with pretty annoying combat-mechanics and boring leveldesign.

    It runs well at least, despite of DENUVO, but I have zero motivation to replay it and was more or less relieved when the end-credits rolled (it isn't even a particularly long game. It just tries to pad the playtime with mini-games and collectibles).

    Wish I'd invested the money into Everspace 2 instead.

But I can't for the life of me find any enjoyment in it, and I was also already highly frustrated by my Hardcore run that I did finish. I love hard games, but this type of frustration and over-reliance on the awful parry mechanic is not my cup of tea. Apparently parrying is a thing now in many AAA-games? I couldn't tell. I usually avoid AAA games like the (las) plagas. Regardless, Capcom should've been the bigger person and just not put that junk in the game. And don't get me started on the introduction of stealth.

    Really disappointing, too much cut content in this game especially my favorite boss U-3 ,Its just RE3 in a different setting, same clunky controls, same boring weapon sounds and music, its just so lame compared to the original, the death scenes are trash, the blood is too much to fill the screen, and there are no chainsaw decapitations

    and also bad voice actors, especially Ada, Krauser,

    The camera is too close to be fighting El Gigante, the water visual against Del Lago is trash, the cinematography of the movie is very bad compared to the original, and the most stupid thing is that in this game you can kill Ashley, but they removed the word "women" which makes it non sense for censorship and also they cut other iconic words, what a lazy developer.

    I don't think Capcom realized how difficult a job it was undertaking before this game came out. Make the best video game ever in history again. There are so many things to say before we start examining it that I don't know where to start. In the past, when asked a question about what would have happened if Re4 had been a terrible game, everyone would have said Re5. Now the answer to thisI don't think Capcom realized how difficult a job it was undertaking before this game came out. Make the best video game ever in history again. There are so many things to say before we start examining it that I don't know where to start. In the past, when asked a question about what would have happened if Re4 had been a terrible game, everyone would have said Re5. Now the answer to this question is Re4 remake. Everything about the original game has been made terrible. Let's move on to our review. Let's start with the mechanics. I want to mention the RE Engine, although this game engine was very bad, it didn't make itself noticeable from a woody camera angle like FPS, but when the Re2 remake came out, it slowly became clear how bad this game engine was. The feel of the hit and their physics were very bulky and unresponsive, but due to the structure of Re 2 remake, the zombies already had low artificial intelligence and were not very understood in this game either. The original game was such an active game that even when the remake demo came out, I saw that the RE engine could not withstand this active gameplay and how terrible the mechanics of the game made it. Enemies often don't react when they're hit The TPS camera angle is bad, no one expected it to be as good as the original game anyway, because the original game still has the best TPS mechanics and perspective ever, and there's been no equivalent, there's just been some close ones. Unfortunately, Re4 remake has become one of the games with the worst TPS mechanics ever. As for the gameplay, there is self-defense with a knife in the game, and it definitely doesn't work properly, most of the time you get hit by the enemy, and this raises your nerve level quite a lot. I would like to mention the boss fights, but I will give them a separate place at the end of the review. Now we can move on to the department designs. There are too many sections removed from the original game and it affects the fluency of the game a lot, the village where we started the game interpreted the original game in reverse and we are going the opposite way. As for the castle section, it feels very different from the original game, most of the places have been removed, most of them have been made of terrible designs, most of them feel like a huge empty box. There is nothing to mention in the island section, most of the places have been changed, just like the castle. Unlike the original game, the episode designs do not contribute to the mechanics of the game, soulless designs. Now there is something I want to mention in the original version of Re4. Atmosphere, ambience and music these three things made the ojrnial game one of the best horror games ever in history. Re 4 remake is a disgrace in this regard, even the remake has become a complete action game. Re4 remake is the same action game as Re5. The atmosphere, ambience and music have been completely removed, you are doing nothing but shooting enemies who are flocking to you, and the terrible TPS mechanics of the game make this situation even more difficult. The terrible music has been completely removed. If you play the game in its original sounds, these soundtracks come back, but the fact that the atmosphere of the game is a disgrace negatively affects these soundtracks as well. Now we can come to the boss designs that I mentioned at the beginning of the review. All the bosses in the game repeat the same movements, whose modified designs have become incredibly easy and simple, until the fight is over. Salazar, the krauser bosses have been radically changed and have become a disgrace, I don't even want to talk about salazar in particular. Tactical analysis in bosses, you just need to rain bullets on them with your removed weapons. The bosses show their weak points themselves. As I said, the other bosses are incredibly easy to either do the same moves or jump around, especially the last boss. In addition, one of the best and most iconic bosses of the game, U-3, has been removed from the game. Along with Verdigo, I strongly condemn the makers of the two scariest and most difficult bosses in the Resident evil series. The Verdigo boss is one of the most difficult bosses in the history of the game, you feel almost soulslike desperation, and now that this difficulty has been completely eliminated, you can rain all your bullets on Verdigo. There are a few things I would like to mention one last time. I want to talk about the character modeling of the game. In this game, the photorealistic character graphics continue, and all the characters look so terrible. Separate ways, Assignment Ada and mercenaries are not in the game. We came to the end of our review, the original game was the best game ever in history, Capcom couldn't handle it. If they had pushed a little harder, it would have been a game as outrageous as Re Village and Operation Raccoon City Re 4 remake. As for the rating of the game, 20/100 Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, this is not a 10/10 game. The critics lied and it is more like an 8/10 at best. The game is good overall but it has some issues. Having just beat it on Standard and everyone already knowing the pros I will list some of the cons:

    - The game is too hard even on Standard and is ridiculous and downright sadistic on a clean playthrough on Hardcore and Pro. Standard is probably 30% harder than the OG on Pro which is dumb for what is supposed to be a normal difficulty level. The OG had an almost perfectly balanced difficulty on Normal when it came out in 2005. As of this writing which is over a month after the game came out, only 49% of PC players have beaten the game on Standard according to Steam statistics and that is because the game is too hard with less than 30% having beat it on Hardcore and some portion of that 30% includes new game plus players using end game weapons. 99% of players didn't want to play a Souls game.

    - As so many others have reported the new RNG aiming system is ridiculous. This does improve dramatically once you can put the laser sight on a few of the pistols but of course they then limit the sight to a couple of handguns only for "balancing reasons." Literally all of the OG fans who played it in 2005 just wanted the Red9 or Blacktail with the laser again and they made the dumb decision to remove that. Sniper rifle accuracy even when the high magnification scope is also janky and too hard to land headshots. It's not a "skill issue," it's just a poor implementation. Aiming becomes much better with a mouse vs controller but still is janky and most don't want to play with mouse keyboard these days even on PC.

    - The shooting range is almost impossible to perfectly S rank using controllers even with the deadzones adjusted and still too hard even using a mouse due to the RNG aiming system. No one wanted to sink hours into each range just to S rank them all. A month out from the game's release and only 26% of PC players have S ranked them all and that doesn't mean a perfect S rank which proves that the range is poorly designed and too hard.

    - Ammo is too scarce to the point that even if you play well you're lucky to have 12 shotgun shells and 10 sniper rounds at any given time. RE4 is supposed to be action horror not some old school RE survival horror-action horror hybrid and the game's enjoyment suffers as a result. The OG would let you stock up a decent amount but not a ridiculous amount either as a reward for having good accuracy which was much more fun overall.

    - Headshots not always staggering enemies was a dumb design decision that ruins the crowd management aspect of the OG. Granted using the laser sight seems to cause most of the enemies pre-island to always stagger but it's dumb you need the laser sight for that considering you are then forced to use the starting handgun or the punisher for the entire game which are early game weapons with low maximum damage.

    - The knife parry mechanic is bugged and randomly doesn't work 10% to 20% of the time. I would reload the same save multiple times near a single low level ganado, let them swing a hatchet and try everything from spamming the parry / knife ready button to watching for the perfect parry prompt and one time out of five on average no parry would be performed and I would take damage. This while playing the game with a perfect high framerate.

    - The stupid grab move that so many of the enemies spam is ridiculous because you can't parry it and trying to duck it only works half the time at best.

    - No bonus weapons with infinite ammo after beating the game on Standard is ridiculous and then forcing the player to speed run the game on professional to unlock even the Chicago sweeper is even more ridiculous. Capcom did this primarily to force people to buy the inevitable $5 DLC unlock pack that they eventually offered for the RE2 remake. The other reason was to appease the Twitch influencer speed run loving cheeto beard crowd who have ruined gaming with their willingness to play through the same game twenty times to unlock anything. The OG gave you the sweeper after beating standard which is what they should've done here especially after RE8 (Village) unlocked the infinite Dragoon assault rifle after beating it on Standard.

    - The Extra Content Shop sucks in general compared to RE8 with a bunch of cosmetic only costumes and even the infinite ammo weapons and so on only require a few thousand points to unlock. The result is that on a first playthrough you work hard to earn challenge points for ends up being nothing compared to RE8.

    - The game has optimization issues that result in a lower framerate then it should have.

    - The Ada Wong voice actor is beyond terrible and it's clear she put forth zero effort into the job.

    - Cut OG dialogue and a more serious tone that doesn't fit the setting don't mesh well

    I had way more to say but I hit the review character limit.

    The most important aspect of any game is how it controls.
    More important than gameplay, graphics or lore.

    The most important aspect of any game is how it controls.
    More important than gameplay, graphics or lore.
    And this game simply does not control good in any way.

    I don't know what they were thinking.
    The original Resident Evil 4 was more of an action adventure.
    Maybe they wanted to go further into the direction of survival horror and made the controls that tedious on purpose, or they just wanted to recycle the code of RE2 remake, but they really have overdone it.

    Your character has so much movement based inertia now, that he feels as if he is constantly walking on ice. Every single input has a weird delay to it. You can't turn on a dime anymore and if you stop moving your analog stick, your character keeps going for a short time. It just feels wrong, even for a survival horror game.

    In this game they screwed up every single aspect of movement:

    + The camera is constantly so close to your character that it really feels nauseating, even for people who are not prone to motion sickness. And if you aim down sight it zooms in even more, to a point where it gets almost completely impractical.

    + Every single animation, including aiming down sight, takes forever to perform, with really long drawn out animations.

    + Your last resort weapon, the knife , has durability now and often breaks, so that it gets unusable on a regular base. Nobody asked for that change. Just like nobody asked for them replacing the laser pointer on your starter weapon with a very view obstructing widespread cross-hair.

    + Oh and headshots and ankle shots do not reliably stagger anymore.
    Out of some weird reason they randomized the amount of shots you need to stagger enemies now, which is really bad for no hit runs and general playing in higher difficulties.

    The whole game is just super unresponsive to control overall.
    Your character just simply never does what you want him to do and constantly lags half a second behind. Almost as if you would stream the game in the cloud from halfway across the world.

    +They also cut a lot of content, including some locations and a boss fight, probably just to resell them as DLC.

    + And the english voice acting is really bad. The game also completely lost its campy nature and humor and has a much more serious tone now, which is really unfitting for how ridiculous the setting is.

    Conclusion:

    They put a lot of effort into the game.
    Mostly into the presentation.
    But the things which really matter like controls, camera, faithfulness to the original, do the gameplay mechanics work and make sense, are all handled significantly worse than in the original game.

    If the controls were better, than it would be a 7-8/10 type of game.
    In its current state, it is a 6/10.

    There are mods available to fix many of the issues (no further zoom in on ads, larger FOV, unbreakable knife, reliable stagger on headshot, laser pointer on base pistol, no yellow paint on interactables, patching the obnoxious rain effects out of the game, no more constant grunting and out of breath sounds from Leon and Ashley) but mods cant fix everything.

    Up to this point there is no mod to patch the sluggish controls due to the movement based inertia and the cut content does also not come back with mods. Maybe the cut content is buyable via dlc later on.

    Its probably smart to wait 6-12 month until mods fix the movement and then buy the game plus dlc for 30 dollar in total. But even then the original seems just a better game overall, level design and gameplaywise, if you can handle the rustic look.

    Some people might argue oh its not that bad, you can still beat the game without paying for any of the microtransactions, but like, the original didn't have any of that **** plus the mercenaries was included day 1 and separate ways was free if you bought the game on anything other than a GameCube.

    This is a remake that is worse than the game its remaking in most ways, so I consider it to be a failure at what's its trying to do. Please just go play the original RE4, it still holds up amazingly well and isn't gonna be pushing you to spend extra money to beat the game.

    I'll start off by saying that I've played all of the main entries into the residen evil franchise since they were released and I was devastated when I played the old RE4 (2005) when it was first released as it changed so drastically from a zombie survival game to a corridor-shooter without any care for creating a realistic environment.

With that said, several years later with my disapointment sated I did replay the game and would score it higher than I did when first playing it.

    The remake of this game feels dated with the same corridor-shooting that worked perhaps 2005 but is far outdated today. The characters are bland and boring and the game is far too long for a game where almost nothing happens. The enemies are bland and boring except for a few encounters and the environments are not realistic at all. I fell in love with the RE2 remake since it took a concept and added a new layer to the police station that made it feel new yet the same. This game has none of that feeling.

    The only reason why it scores a 3 is because of the replayability and some of the changes made to the game compared to the 2005 version such as the removing of the most cringey coment and edgelord Leon moments. Still, can't recommend it as a Old-School RE fan as it brings much of the same that came to ruin the Survival Horror aspects of the franchise and gave us the more ridicoulus games that are RE5 and RE6.

    If you, however, enjoyed the 2005 version when it came out for its less focus on survival horror and more action-oriented approach I do think this game will be a 8-9 for you.

    -Lo peor: no entiendo por qué destruir las cinemáticas épicas y tan características del original y convertirlas en esta basura. Literalmente el guion y la producción de las cinemáticas de 2005 se mean en las del Remake(solo había que dejarlas igual, mejorando los gráficos), pero no, mejor quitarle todo el interés a la trama y la personalidad a los personajes y convertirlo todo en una comedia con 0 de coherencia. A parte de esto, han eliminado zonas enteras y bosses del original sin introducir ningún boss nuevo a cambio. SPOILER ALERT: por ejemplo, el boss del tren de la isla, que era el más difícil y terrorífico del juego original, aquí desaparece sin dejar rastro, cuando era de las mejores partes de la isla....solo han dejado todas las zonas que son un call of duty. La banda sonora es pésima, en vez de utilizarla para crear miedo y tensión, hace todo lo contrario, impidiendo escuchar a los enemigos rezando y cosas por el estilo....lo que supone una bajada de terror enorme respecto al original con míticas escenas como el "morir es vivir" frente a un altar con una música muy tenue y tensa de fondo. La aparición de las hermanas Bella es de coña, la aparición del gigante épica del 4 matando a sus carceleros cambiada por un "rompe la puerta y ale" Básicamente TODAS las escenas y TODOS los momentos míticos del original han desaparecido. No lo suspendo porque la jugabilidad es buena y por los minijuegos que he comentado en los puntos a favor.

Now Capcom is trash when it comes to that, there's barely any difference from RE2 to RE4 remake, on top of that these new games have terrible art style like I said which makes things even worse, you can barely see anything in certain locations, and of course its because Capcom doesn't want us to look at the terrible RE Engine textures, extremely lazy.

    Leon and Ada are the same trash models from RE2. Original RE4 and RE6 Leon and Ada models are SO MUCH better. Remember when Capcom kept making new models for every new RE game but no one cared because they were all amazing? It's a good thing to have the same models returning but only when they are good, the thing is that Leon and Ada from RE2 are trash. Luis and Wesker models are trash too. They took everything that made those characters cool.

    The voice of acting of those characters are also terrible. RE voice acting was great in the late 2000s, back when every character looked and sounded memorable. What happened? We know using the same things again isn't a issue for Capcom, as they have been using many of the assets they created for RE7 in every single new RE game, and that's why the new RE games look so cheap. So why not use the same voice actors from the past? Those cheap **** are trying to save as much money as possible, no wonder most of the new RE games are mostly just a copy and paste. Same trash art style for every single new RE game, same trash character models, same assets for 4 games in a row. But they can't bring back the voices that made those characters popular, no, that's too much for them. Maybe they are trying to save money with that too, and it's less expensive to bring new people to do the voice acting, who knows.

    But of course dudes are giving 10 to this trash, because they don't understand gaming. This is just the new generation, the same dogs who think Fortnite is good, they don't know when a game is actually good because they haven't played any.

    Gun sounds are terrible. Amount of cut content are terrible. Leon movement animations are terrible.

    Leon in the original was extremely stylish like Dante, literally every single animation of Leon was created to make him as stylish and cool as possible, which suited his personality very well. Now Leon personality is changed to worse, and theres literally 0 stylish things about him, even the spinning kick looks dumb as **** but his movement is just the worst.

    This game is going to be hyped for about 2 months and then everyone is going to forget about it, it will never be a classic that people kept playing for 20 years like the original.

    It gets a few points for the nice new coat of paint and a few gameplay tweaks, but that's all this game has going for it. It's just an imposter wearing the skin of a better game. Let's break down a few things:

    Tone:
    The tone of RE4 was one that perfectly balanced action and b-movie horror camp. Leon was a seasoned special ops veteran years after the events of RE2. He was smart, sassy, a bit of a flirt, but still took his job seriously. Several of his iconic lines from the original are here in this game...but their delivery falls completely flat because they are being delivered by RE2-Remake Leon, not RE4 Leon. And that shift in character and tone /fundamentally/ changes everything about this game. RE2-Remake Leon is a boring misery guts, and that tone carries over here, ruining the vibe that defined RE4.

    Dialogue:
    Many of the famous Leon sassy lines from RE4 are here, but again they don't fit with this version of Leon. It feels forced, and I hate that feeling. Additionally Luis' slightly flirtatious, lecherous character has been completely sanded off. In RE4 he makes a passing remark about Ashley's chest...which she rightfully calls him out for and chews him out. Removing Ashley's agency and removing this dialogue from the game removes these fun character moments. There's also dialogue removed where Ashley offers herself to Leon after everything they've been through, giving a lead female character a nice bit of sexual agency that the remake takes away. Leon turns her down of course, he's a professional and not a perv, and it was nice to see that interaction play out realistically and maturely. There's just so much character and sass from the original game that seems to have been sanded off somewhere along the way.

    Color:
    This may be a petty complaint, but...all the RE engine games are really dark and look washed out in their environment design. The original, while mostly awash with browns and greens, was still brightly lit and looked dynamic due to great art direction. The RE4-Remake environments certainly look more detailed, but everything just looks too cluttered and dark. There's something about the design for many of the REmakes in the RE Engine that just does not work for me. It lacks...vibrancy and sense of artistic variation. This leaves environments just feeling monotonous somehow.

    Gameplay:
    I don't understand the decision to add meaningless busywork to RE4-Remake. The original had lots of optional short bonus objectives for money, but those were quick and usually just for extra collectibles (completely optional). In the RE4-Remake, there are way too many "go here kill 3 rats" / "backtrack into another area and break something" side missions. They feel like open world busywork, and it feels like you /have/ to do them because the loot system in the remake is so much stingier with quality drops.

    Character Models:
    Like...there are a few characters I think that are actually as good as RE4 or better in the remake (Hunnigan and Mendez look terrific), but Ashley looks like Leon with a longer, stupider haircut. Salazar looks /atrocious/. Saddler looks...okay albeit bland. Again, RE4 even with its limited graphics gave these characters such life and personality with good art direction, but the stiff, awkwardness of the RE Engine models just look...like ****

    It's a fine way to play RE4 if that's all you want...but it's not as good as the original. Not even remotely close.

    Gameplay. A fluidez das animações, comunicação entre os personagens, agrecividade dos inimigos, as batalhas dos bosses, animações de morte etc. Se encaixam muito bem ao game, e é notavel a melhoria em todos esses aspectos, pois existem detalhes que te fazem lembrar o original, dando uma sensação de nostalgia.
    De maneira geral eu amei as novas mecânicas e o estilo da gameplay. Eles deixam o jogo mais diversificado, te dá novas possibilidades e maneiras de enfreitar os inimigos, aqui o jogo nos permite usar a criatividade em diversos momento .

    Historia do jogo
    A história do jogo foi levemente alterada, digo que o termo "reformulada" se encaixa muito bem, pois ela mantém a essência do original, e acrescenta alguns pontos que não foram abordados ou mostrados no RE4 original. Isso é muito interessante, deixa o jogo mais imersivo, parece que aquilo era para acontecer ali e ser ali. Os documentos, alguns elementos, acontecimentos, inimigos que você enfrenta. Isso tudo faz mais sentido agora, pq aqui tudo foi mais bem pensado e organizado

    Inimigos e chefes
    A Capcom foi bem fiel ao jogo antigo em relação aos inimigos. Mudaram algumas mecânicas de boss fight, alteraram um ou dois chefes (alteração que n achei extremamente valida), adicionaram alguns modelos de inimigos e reformulam outros, adcionaram novos subchefe e manteram quase todos os antigos. Aqui só senti um pouco de criatividade para desenvolverem mais alguns subchefes, talvez um pouco menos de conservadorismo ajudasse nessa questão. Em compensação os infectados em geral estão bem mais agrecivos, bem polidos e inteligentes.

    Cenários e ambientação
    Meu, aqui entregou tudo. Alguns cenários são totalmente iguais ao jogo original, outro com algumas alterações e outros totalmente novos. O que interessa neste ponto, é que foram acrencentados, elementos que nos fazem lembrar que aquilo estava no RE4 original. Dando uma sensação de nostalgia, familiarização e fluidez de game. Alguns cenários foram realmente cortados, mas ao meu ver, são partes que n acrencentam nada a trama, ou que eram cenários tediosos de se jogar. Alguns acontecimentos e cenarios são trocados durante a trama, para se encaixar melhor com os acontecimentos.
    A ambientação está perfeita. O jogo está sombrio em partes que devem ser sombrias, o jogos tem elementos de ação em partes que devem ter ação. Equilibraram muito bem esses dois polos de Resident, pois sempre vimos partes mais sombrias e partes com mais ação e tiroteios na franquia.
    Mais um ponto super positivo, não senti falta dos cenários cortados, a maneira que trabalharam, para aquilo nos passar sentimentos, foi sensacional. Além de ter novos lugares pare explorar.

    Personagens, dialogos, e dublagem
    Pra começar, para mim a dublagem está muito boa. Existem muitas referências brasileiras e modernas, manteram a essência dos personagens com pequenas trocas de falas, e o jeito que os personagens se comunicam uns com os outros.
    Falando em comunicação de personagens, aqui vemos momentos, em que os personagens se comunicam mais uns com os outros, e interagem com o cenário, soltando algum comentário ou interagindo com o mesmo.
    Os personagens estão bem trabalhados, alguns mais desenvolvidos e com mais tempo de tela. E outros do mesmo jeito que sempre foi.
    De maneira geral, mais um ponto positivo aqui, só temos evolução e coisas que acrencentam a história do Remake.


    Qualidade gráfica e performnace
    Que jogo lindo. a riqueza dos detalhes, modelagem, animações, luz, sombra e outros detalhes. Estão todos muito bem trabalhados, tudo nesse jogo se encaixa perfeitamente, e aqui nos gráficos, vemos uma performance muito bem trabalhada, se levamos em conta a qualidade gráfica que jogo nos entrega. O único ponto negativo que senti, foi em relação a um atraso em carregamento de texturas, mas n fois algo que atrapalhou a minha gameplay.
    Os requisitos do meu PC estavam entre o mínimo e o recomendado, rodei tudo no alto e não tive problemas com travamentos.

    Observações finais
    Minha experiência jogando foi sensacional, perfeito, nostálgico e muito frenético.
    Eu amei o jogo em todos os aspectos, a maneira que trabalharam a evolução da história, personagens, cenários e ambientação. Deixaram o jogo perfeito e com desejo de quero mais, mesmo depois de 15h de gameplay. Minha experiência foi ótima.
    Vos deixo aqui minha humilde nota, 10!

    Obrigado a todos os envolvidos

It's basically same logic that goes for quality games like Red Dead Redemption, that even people who usually don't play open-world, would still try it.

    World design was perfection, music/atmosphere/rain were all great, most new boss designs were phenomenal and voice acting for both Leon and Ashley was solid. And yeah, new Ashley is amazing, i had no idea, that it's even possible. I never liked Ashley, but in this game, she is great.

    Game itself is very good, near-masterpiece. Easily one of the best games Capcom has ever made and one of the best RE games of all time. Only real thing missing is U-3 boss fight.

    Playing a finished, polished, and amazing game in modern gaming is truly refreshing since we are used to playing trash nowadays.

    Resident Evil 4 feels like a natural evolution of RE2, something RE3 could not do. Here, the gameplay feels solid and versatile. Parrying, evading, and new shooting mechanics are essential to encourage players to be aggressive, but not reckless, since good ammo management is necessary to not find yourself in difficult situations. The guns are well-balanced, which naturally makes every build unique and personal. One example is the crossbow. I think most people don't like it but it helped me so much to save ammo. In hard encounters, I always had ammo cuz of it. Being precise is well rewarded here as well. The level design invites you to know the map pretty well so you can't get caught easily and search for the best positions to kill the enemies - that are varied, requiring you to use different weapons to be efficient.

    The story has the same level of quality. Characters are fun and being around them makes the game enjoyable. I loved Ashley's persona and, because of that, protecting her was not tedious. Quite the opposite. Leon and Ada had both shown a maturation from the last game, which was explored in this campaign. I loved Krauser either, for some reason. His end was amazing. Also, the mystery involving the place was an amazing tool to make us interested until the end. Cutscenes and acting were top level - and speaking in graphics...

    Man, playing a 2023 game at launch when it is optimized and has amazing graphics feels almost supernatural at this point. I only had frame drops in only 2 moments - and it was reasonable. Otherwise, the game ran amazingly on my Ryzen 1600 and RTX 2060. Ultra settings (except for textures) at 1080p 60fps. I simply love this engine. Also, since I played RE 2 and 3 recently, I can assure you that the graphics are way better. Thanks Devs for that. This game deserves our money. Hands down.

    The game stays true to the original version, I really dug it. I'm a bit bummed that the whole wave of remakes keeps happening, and nobody seems to come up with anything new or create something fresh. But this game is solid and worth checking out.

    Phenomenal work by Capcom. One of the best, if not the best remake ever made! Ignore trolls/haters who have nothing valuable to say and enjoy this masterpiece. Games like this don't release that often.

    Resident Evil 4 is a good remake. It is not as creative as RE 2 reincarnation, and it follows the original too diligently, but it still looks very decent.

    As far as remakes go, Resident Evil 4 is very solid, but very safe, to the point of losing some of the original’s spark. Early RE games used to be unashamedly goofy, and RE4R seems to be afraid of that legacy. [page 64]

    Resident Evil 4 is a truly fantastic remake of an already-stellar title. Some of the omissions, tweaks and changes do mean that it’s a perfect complement to the original experience rather than a replacement, but this is about as fine an update to a classic as one could possibly hope for.
