    As everyone already knows, over 90% of actual real gamers love this remake and most people agree, that it's big improvement over already great original. Also everyone is laughing at these losers who are trying to review bomb this game, with their fake accounts lmao. RE4R won and you losers lost, it's over :)))))).

    One of the best remakes of all time, yes even better than Dead Space and RE1R. Overall, it's one of the best games Capcom has ever made and they will have difficult time with their next project, because it has to be (at least) same level of quality as RE4R. Top tier level of game making, better than most modern studios. More of this please!

    El mejor remake de la historia, así de simple. Capcom dando cátedra de como hacer un remake, prácticamente un nuevo juego con la base del original, no un simple remaster. Este juego es mínimo un 9, toda esa gente que está puntuando mal este juego, claramente no tiene ni idea de videojuegos

    Это лучший remake которые делал кто-ли и когда ли. Изменениям подверглось все, а именно:
    -графика
    -боевка -стрельба -прокачка -персонажи Первое, что хотелось бы отметить это то что игра заставляет экономить тебя патроны. Ты думаешь чем стрелять и как стрелять. Если в оригинальной игре нож помогал экономить патроны, то тут все по другому, потому что тут нож имеет свою прочность, но    Это лучший remake которые делал кто-ли и когда ли. Изменениям подверглось все, а именно:
    -графика
    -боевка
    -стрельба
    -прокачка
    -персонажи
    Первое, что хотелось бы отметить это то что игра заставляет экономить тебя патроны. Ты думаешь чем стрелять и как стрелять. Если в оригинальной игре нож помогал экономить патроны, то тут все по другому, потому что тут нож имеет свою прочность, но это не значит, что здесь нож стал бесполезным, им можно добить противника, им можно выбраться из захвата противника, им можно парировать почти любой прием противника, но нож может сломаться и тогда вы не сможете использовать все те приемы для своей защиты. Для экономии пуль capcom добавила арбалет. В него можно зарядить обычные болты или же болты с миной. И он очень помогает в игре для экономии пуль, а если стрелять болтами с минами, то он помогает тебе и в битве с боссами.
    Второй плюс - это персонажи. Леона показывают, как человека, который повидал многое. (Не только в Раккун-Сити, но в игре так же рассказывается о задании Леона вместе с Краузером, где они потеряли много своих и сами чудом, как спаслись все это можно было увидеть в Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles) Главного героя тут сделали более серьёзнее, но бывает может разрядить обстановку шуткой. Но больше всего мне понравилась переработка Эшли. Тут она не достает тебя, как в оригинале. Здесь видно, как она старается и пытается помочь. Она не просто девушка, которую нужно спасти. Её сюжетную линию доработали в более логичную и понятную. Луис тоже доработали. Добавили ему больше экранного времени, сделали его более забавным и ответственным что ли , также они углубились в его прошлое, что и как он сделал. Было интересно за ним наблюдать. Ну Ада это Ада). Всегда загадочная, со стороны не понятно, что она от нас хочет. В конце конечно что то проясняется, но хотелось бы глянуть её путь в этой истории. Ждем ДЛС про Аду Вонг, чтобы большее понять. Краузеру тоже добавили больше экранного времени, сделали его более логичным персонажем.
    Третий плюс - это будут локации. Их переработали просто отлично. Все скучное или нудное что было в оригинале колоссально поменяли, тем более когда ты посещаешь последнюю местность.

    Capcom has surpassed themselves with this remake by taking the awesome setting of the original game and merge it with modern mechanics of the RE Engine. They deepen the lore and story elements that were lackluster, and made this game more coherent with the rest of the modern franchise. I really enjoyed that different take on RE4, which is on my personal list for GOTY.

    This remake is about as good as it's going to get. Reimagined characters, great exploration aspects, corny one liners and phenomenal combat. I don't think it replaces the original since that is such an iconic piece of gaming history. I'm starting to muster up hope for a good RE5R.

Геймплей хорошо исполнен, особенно в первых двух основных локациях (деревня, замок). Остров же несколько сдал позиции по моему мнению, ибо резик превращается там в откровенный шутан, а как именно шутан игра работает так себе, в силу ограниченности патронов и самой механики прицеливания - стрельбы, игра банально медленная по своей сути (по сравнению с типичными шутерами), да и в целом этот отрезок не очень зашел. Однако деревня и замок играются отменно. Боссы в целом норм, но ничего особенного, только Краузер выделяется, с ним было интересно драться. Сюжет в целом окей, моментами интересно, но ничего головокружительного, в этой игре скорее геймплей на первом месте. Также стоит отметить разнообразность игры, тебе постоянно подкидывают новые ситуации и новых противников, заскучать от процесса здесь тяжело. В общем и целом, один из главных претендентов на игру года (на данный момент).… Expand

    Esperei quase anos para ter uma experiência definitiva com Resident Evil 4,lembro que um dos fatores que me frustrava era a jogabilidade, que era bem datado, o que neste remake está bem atualizado para os dias atuais, mais dinâmico e fluido, deixando a ação bem frenética.
    Ganados bem melhores dinamicamente, não sendo só inimigos simples, eles desviam, tentam te prender em um canto, te segurando para que outro inimigo lhe ataque, enfim, são mais inteligentes.
    Deixo destacado o quão assustador está o garrador, apesar de cego, pode dar nervos para quem busca uma primeira vez neste jogo, principalmente quando temos que enfrentar dois deles juntos de vários fanáticos.
    Regenerador e Verdugo são uma surpresa, ou melhor, um terror e tanto, também pegando de surpresa quem esteja jogando pela primeira vez.
    Quanto a problemas eu tive poucos, alguns bem engraçados, principalmente com a Ashley, ela flutuando na animação de ser levada, passar na frente e levar um tiro do Leon, no PC tive dificuldades com o Ray Tracing, mas no geral nada que estrague toda a jogatina.
    Resident Evil 4 Remake conta com várias dificuldades, o Profissional é liberado ao zerar pela primeira vez, o parry deve ser perfeito e são inimigos mais fortes e resistentes, um desafio e tanto.
    Devo dizer que RE4 é um grande remake, agradando aos antigos e sendo introduzido para um novo público, um grande acerto da Capcom, valendo cada tempo jogado.    … Expand

    Developers,
    1. Force you to collect resources and ammo and need to sell some nonsense to a merchant, is that a RPG?! The definition of difficulty is as follows: A. Collect ammo throughout the area. B. No need to collect ammo. But here, even on any difficulty, it is necessary to clear the locations. The special agent came to such a mission without ammo, he didn’t even take a sandwich, the    Developers,

No need to collect ammo. But here, even on any difficulty, it is necessary to clear the locations. The special agent came to such a mission without ammo, he didn’t even take a sandwich, the game is 2023, are you joking ?!
    2. You are stressing the player too much. Always Fear that you will not pass the game, because they are closed in a barn, for example, with a bunch of enemies and no ammo. For what that pressure?!
    3. Damage is often received by the player not honestly and he can't dodge to protect himself. Automatic weapons are very weak and there are no ammo. Some important features you notice towards the end of the game. Ashley doesn't run after Leon. They often caught her and I lost through no fault of my own. Is it hard to run after Leon? He runs so slowly like an old man.

    The first arrival in the village where the policeman is being burned, the game writes Fight off the enemies, that is, it lies to the player. It is impossible to fight them off, only to play for time until the bell rings. How many times do you have to try and replay through no fault of your own, just like that, because it is written fight back. Developers, do you hate players?

    Also study the term - meticulousness. This is different from the challenge.

    4. The 7th and 8th parts are almost copies of this game.
    5. There is one recurring trait in Resident Evil games that turns me off - constantly looking for clues, keys and puzzles, especially the second part. Even Shadows of Rose has this problem.
    6. And it is not necessary to make games gloomy, because it's nice when the sun shines. Shadows of Rose has 80% DLC in the dark, castle, etc.

    *It has to be Action first and foremost, cinematic action. Not an RPG, not in the dark and not revolving around puzzles and running back and forth.

    For the quality - good optimization, physics that are not in other remakes for what you want to play it again and again and for the plot - fairy tale and for the good human qualities of the main characters which left pleasant emotions, interesting many locations and gameplay I put 9 points out of 10. And for the action, where it was playful, and not annoying (meticulous).

    People, be honest. You complain about many mistakes during the game, and when you finish the game you forget everything and bet 10 And the problems remain.    … Expand

    While not quite a masterpiece like the original, this is still a great game. You can tell this was carefully crafted with the original in mind. Many small details have mostly been preserved. The game may play differently, but it all comes together to give you the same feeling as playing RE4 again for the first time. The fact that this isn't terrible is some kind of miracle.

Many small details have mostly been preserved. The game may play differently, but it all comes together to give you the same feeling as playing RE4 again for the first time. The fact that this isn't terrible is some kind of miracle.

    What holds it back from a perfect score is that it often takes one step forward, one step back in it's design. For every improvement, there is a new negative aspect added along the way. For example, movement is now much less restrictive, yet it feels way more clunky and unresponsive compared to the original. Knives are overall improved, but the guns' crosshair bloom replaces laser sights for more RNG based shooting. Ashley is overall much improved character, but unfortunately her AI has been downgraded. Krauser has been improved with more backstory and dynamic with Leon, the tradeoff being that Saddler has lost all personality and charm. Same with Luis and Ada; Luis is better, but Ada is worse.

    I am pointing out these negatives to highlight why I still prefer the original. Yes, most of the good stuff has been preserved from the original, which is why I give it such a high score. I don't need to repeat why RE4 is so great as it's been said a million times already. I have had a great time with over 150 hours already. I just can't help but be a little disappointed that Capcom didn't try harder to actually improve what was already there, instead we get these little weird tradeoffs. I could go on and on, but ultimately the game is still great. Just....not quite the masterpiece the original was.    … Expand

    This is the best remake ever made. Because the original RE4 was one of the best survival games, I've never thought remake could become as good as the original. After playing the remake, I can say that this is the game which is the greatest of all time.

    It is not a perfect game, There are a lot of things the original did better specially Ramon Salazar and Sadler. I don't think the game balances correctly between being goofy and taking itself seriously as much as the original did. The most important thing is... the game is FUN.

    RE4 it's a pretty solid remake in terms of story-telling (characters like Ashley and Luis are much more involved in the story, as well as Leon's interactions with Ashley. Leon is more on par with his RE2 Remake version same as the story and the tone itself and the continuity: Leon mentioning how the Racoon City events affected him, him having his pistol from Kendo - a gun shop owner in RE2RE4 it's a pretty solid remake in terms of story-telling (characters like Ashley and Luis are much more involved in the story, as well as Leon's interactions with Ashley. Leon is more on par with his RE2 Remake version same as the story and the tone itself and the continuity: Leon mentioning how the Racoon City events affected him, him having his pistol from Kendo - a gun shop owner in RE2 (you can see written on it his name) and his knife from Marvin; and pacing (which RE3 Remake butchered). So it's not as bad as RE3 was regarding them and this game keeps almost the entire key moments of the original game intact, unlike 3 which cut half the game.

    The cut content are some traps and rooms in the Castle, the U-3 boss fight (which is likely to be in Separate Ways, since it's mentioned in the note files from the game), the laser room (which was more of a filler in the original most likely to promote the 2002 RE movie), the QTEs like the boulder runs, the gondola which you used it to reach to the warehouse has now been replaced with a Mendez chase sequence; Salazar's statue, which has been replaced with one that shoots fire. The Island has certain areas reworked either for better or for worse, that's subjective.

    The good parts are that the game has many details that weren't there in the original like
    - Leon holding his pistol in different stances, Ashley tiptoes around dead enemies, some bridges break if they get enough damage, Leon's breathing increasing depending on how much you are running and him rubbing his shoulder if you shoot with the rifle for too long, the Brute losing its control while on bridge, Leon using walls as support if he has low health, and his aim being affected by his health level, Leon and Ashley reacting to wind and rain, the flashbang won't affect Leon if he's wearing the sunglasses cosmetic. As well as references to the original concept of RE4, known as RE 3.5, such as his jacket, him holding the pistol and the flashlight in dark areas, and the deer head falling down.

    - Some sound effects are pretty good, the save theme captures the atmosphere of this remake like 2's one did. The parry, dodge and stealth add variety to the gameplay, but I can see why others won't like them. Also you won't be able to always use the stealth, being a method for gathering resources before a fight, and the knife has limited durability which can be expanded. The lake sequence is more explorable now and the shooting range got expanded with charms that you can unlock, one of them being a reference to the Striker glitch in the original, the Striker charm giving you a boost in speed like the glitch in the Gamecube version of the original. The rest of charms being models which they were in the original game which also have their original names, which I think it's a nice touch. The golden egg can be used against Salazar, taking a big amount of damage from him. The achievements have the name of some of the original's one-liners. Also the remake barely has any bugs or glitches unlike of few of other modern games.

    Overall it's a good game on its own, but it could have been better in art and cinematic direction: the boss transformations are pretty underwhelming when compared with the original, in other instances the game lacks the original's game charm. Also Ada's voice acting suffers from lack of direction. Salazar while being less present, he now always stands at a higher place than Leon showing his insecurity which is a nice story detail but he could have used more screen time.    … Expand

    Survival horror remakes have got off to a very good start indeed!

    My only negative is that for me at least on a Scar 18 laptop which has an 19 13980k and laptop 4090 sometimes on boot up it would run terribly only to run happily on a complete quit and restart, in addition ultrawide is not supported in cut scenes, this makes no sense as they're in engine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start this off, I just don't understand the mass bad reception here on Metacritic. I'm HOOKED on this game so far, and on my third playthrough right now. I've seen mixed complaints about everything in this game, too easy, too hard, good controls, bad controls, good story, bad story, good performance, bad performance, crashing, but I've only had a positive experience with this game and did not have a single horrible thing to say about it so far. First, the difficulty is perfect in my opinion. Standard is the difficulty I chose to play during my first playthrough, and this difficulty is a perfect option for new and returning players alike to get back into the world of RE4. The game doesn't try to baby you, at least on Standard difficulty and above, but isn't trying to beat you to the ground difficulty wise. Even the professional difficulty is balanced enough, assuming you've taken the assumed steps to unlock extra perks by beating the game on easier difficulties, for example Ashley's unlockable knight armor costume that makes her invincible to all damage, and the cat ear accessory for Leon that gives all his weapons infinite ammo. The combat is great here, being both responsive and smooth. The addition of knife parries is also a welcome feature, adding just a bit more defense to combat. The story here is good, but I do prefer the OG when it comes to certain character interactions and overall tone of the game. For example, Leon and Salazar get so much less interaction in this game, whereas in the original, there are multiple instances of Leon and Salazar bickering back and forth over the intercom cutscenes. Also, they've gone down a more serious tone in this game, which I fully expected. It's not bad in any way, but the more b-movie cheesiness is definitely scaled back a bit, which was a bit of a disappointment to see. It's not all bad however, as Ashley and Luis have much more personality and in Luis's case, more screen time in this game. Characters overall are done very well in this game, and I wish Capcom would've gave Leon more time to interact with his foes. Performance wise, my game looked and ran great, with not a single crash during my 32 hours of gameplay so far. I have a modern pc, with a Ryzen 5600 and a 6650xt, so I'm not sure how this game is running on older and more dated pcs, but I personally had a smooth experience, running 100+ fps with the games recommended settings for my hardware. My one big complaint that I see most negative reviews cover are the DLC microtransactions available for purchase. If these items were just skins, I'd have zero issue with this, but in reality, they offer 2 UNIQUE guns for purchase, along with upgrade tickets that boost the stats of your guns for purchase. I honestly have no clue why they chose to offer these transactions, as most people will not even consider buying miniscule content for a 60 dollar game. Pacing wise, this game totally stomps out the OG RE4 in my opinion. This game is now a smooth and action packed experience, but still not afraid to slow things down once in awhile for character interaction and short breathers, while not cutting too much content. One notable cut they've made is to the U-3 boss in the remake, and honestly I think this cut was for the best, pacing wise. The U-3 boss in the OG is fun, but feels somewhat out of place and random. I've seen the rumors that the U-3 boss will be in the also rumored, but basically confirmed, Separate Ways DLC coming out soon, and I think that U-3 will fit much better in the context of a separate and differing playthrough of the game. Besides the rather scummy and out of the blue business practice that Capcom has shoved into this game, I don't have any major complaints. I highly recommend this title to new players and returning lovers of the original alike.… Expand

    I'm not a horror fan, but I surprisingly enjoy this game. I like the puzzle and the action, but the main star is definitely Leon.

    The best remake of Resident Evil game to date. I played original RE4 on Nintendo Wii and it was an awesome experience back then and the remake is just as good if not better than the original game. Modern graphics, better combat, more side missions, many useful tweaks. Capcom outdone itself with this game. I read that RE4 sold 4,000,000 copies. Well done Capcom. Can't wait for next RE remake.

    I have actually played the game instead of those dickheads bombing it, and it's safe to say it's the best game I've ever played. Finished it 5 times with a lot of fun, already starting on the next run. The pacing is incredibly good, great story, great remake, amazing characters.

    So what makes this particular remake stand out, considering it's die-hard fan base, and 10 different ports to platforms, differing to its original, 2005 release?

    It is, as it stands, a remake with so many similarities to its original counterpart, that when you do encounter changes made in tone, gameplay, enemies and the overall difficulty, it is something that catches you by surprise, and lends a refreshing lens to your gameplay.

    As for the gameplay experience itself, it is definitely an immersive experience, to boot.

    When players have to make a decision between what weapons they will use, or choose in what way they want to divide their resources, all of these things add up, and put pressure on the player, which also builds this sense of immersion.

    This forced mechanic of putting you in a position where you must make strategic decisions in order to survive, is intense and polarising.

    The scarcity of food and ammunition and resources leaves a lot to be desired in the form of media such as a movie, as you don’t feel a personal connection or woe when the characters run out of said resources, whereas this gameplay does not let you forget that if you make these kinds of blunders, you will find punishment for it.

    Limited bullets make you value your resources more, which builds a new sense of tension and apprehension in the player, which builds upon the horror aspects of the game. A game without these mechanics is much more limited in that regard; as it does not have the same abilities to build trepidation and anxiety.

    The difference in your consumption of the media; for example, viewing a cut-scene or alternatively playing the game, gives you a different lease on the story, and how you feel about it.
    It’s all about the difference between passive action and active action, the difference in these interactions is what truly influences your immersion, and thus has you assign a different level of feelings upon it.

    Worth a play if you're a pre-existing fan, or a new one.    … Expand

    Great remake of a great original. Improved gameplay and combat, improved survival horror aspects that the original did have, but much less. Greatly improved characterization of Ashley, Luis and Krauser. Especially Luis feels like a real character now and in some ways even the heart of the story.

    Some cut content, but it was likely reserved for the Separate Ways DLC, so other than a few minor things here and there and Ada's writing and VA, I don't have anything that I don't like about this game that would bring down the score from 10 to anything below.

I love the new parry mechanic, it made the game more dynamic. Ashley's new personality is simply a joy, she and Leon have actual human-like interactions now! Overall, it was a great ride.

I know that many will not agree with this statement, mainly due to the nostalgia factor that prevents them from removing the blindfold of subjectivity, but RE4 Remake is superior in all sections without a doubt, graphically, in sound, in gameplay, in development of characters etc...

    There are some rat kids that are upset because they didn't include the additional content of the original RE4 like Separate Ways or because they included the microtransactions... Dude, those microtransactions are not mandatory, you buy them if you want, if not, you don't need to buy them, no I understand why so much whining on this subject. On the other hand, the DLCs will be available soon as well.

    In conclusion, my advice is not to be influenced by the bad Metacritic reviews, surely many of those people did not play the game, RE4 Remake will not disappoint you, he did a masterful job, if anything the only thing I did not like was that Leon It moves a little slow, but that adds an extra tension factor that comes in handy for gameplay. 10/10 Capcom broke it again.    … Expand

I think RE games should go back to pure horror of RE1,2,3 with fixed camera angles. There are already new indie games which prove this could work. They are way more scary and ''resident evil'' than this game.

    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.
