    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

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    Это, конечно, не революция в жанре и не "переосмысление", как ремейк 2 части, а больше обычный ремастер, но всё равно играется это невероятно кайфово, словами ощущения от геймплея не передать, наверное, это действительно, идеальный синтез всех элементов недавних резидентов, допиленный до идеала, но 10 из 10 я уж точно этому не поставлю, даже если опустить сюжет (да, персонажи стали    7,5/10

    Я считаю, что надо было делать переосмысление, и вырезать нафиг локацию с Замком и финальную, несмотря на то, что да, я согласен, что это одна из лучших игр года, и, даже чуть лучше недавнего крутого ремейка моего любимого Деда Спейса, Деревня невероятно атмосферная, но это только треть игры, после нее игра уже меня не цепляла и очень "душила", кто-то скажет субъективно, но представьте, что начиналась бы первая треть игры с замка, вас бы точно так не затянуло, я не говорю, что должен быть один сеттинг на всю игру, но приключенческий боевик должен увлекать на протяжении всего хронометража, ну или пугать.. Что страшного в финале игры - вообще непонятно,
    Еще и цветовую гамму побоялись особо изменять, она, конечно, не настолько оранжево-унылая, как в оригинале, но самый первый уровень с синевато-мрачным визуалом был гораздо лучше, а потом всю игру опять оранжевая сероватость, также боссы меня совсем не впечатлили, как обычно в Резике - унылые серые дизайны, по геймплею средние, хотя бой на ножах с "Краузером", конечно, гениален. Крч "Рокн-Ролла" и кардинальных изменений от Ремейка не ждите, это - моя главная претензия.
    Из классных мелочей, что мне запомнилось: "Пиратский" тир - одна из самых кайфовых бонусных мини-игр, что я видел в играх, у торговца неплохая озвучка, тупые шутки Леона - это прям то, что надо, а также я обязан отметить "повседневную" куртка Леона из "Deluxe" издания, с ней прям персонаж чувствуется по-другому, за около 300р можно докупить отдельным длс, но такое нужно делать бесплатно, обладатели обычной версии же даже не узнают о нём.
    Технически Re:Engine далеко не некст-ген, местами в узких комнатках текстуры стен не отличить от PS1, и я ни разу не шучу, общая детализация объектов тоже оставляет желать лучше, поэтому также не пойму похвал графике от критиков, но, в целом, для игры с динамичными боями, приемлемо.
    Поиграть первые 5-7 часов стоит всем, но проходить полностью одну из лучших игр года, как не парадоксально, но я считаю, необязательно.
    p.s. Нельзя было сразу это выпустить пару лет назад, а не абсолютно ненужный рескин семёрки - Re:Village, который хуже во всём, но нет, Capcom же нужны все деньги мира.

    2005 original has always been one of my favorite games, but it was never perfect. Even most amazing games can have flaws and so did RE4. Ashley in OG was absolutely awful, remake improves her in every way. Most boss fights are better in remake. Movement is better in remake. Obviously graphics and so on. This is one of the best remakes ever made.

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!

    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.

    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 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

    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).

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.    … Expand

    Fun, engaging, and challenging. I just finished my first playthrough and am glad to say I was amazed. The gameplay got improved, graphics, characters, and even the storyline. 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. Glad Capcom nailed it with this one!

    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.

    No idea why so many negative scores.
    Personally, i think it's an incredible remake, up there with RE1 and RE2 Remake.
    I like the more serious and darker tone. It's a stunning looking game in all aspects and you can tell the developers put a lot of passion into it.

    It's one of the greatest remakes i have ever played.

    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

    As someone that never played the original game but have enjoyed all Resi games since 5 (yes I even enjoyed that) I found Resi 4 Remake to be an excellent game, at no point did it feel like an old game and to be honest it felt so current that many of the systems that it revolutionised I simply took for granted.

    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

    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

    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.    … Expand

    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.    Not worth it.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    The most important aspect of any game is how it controls.

    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.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

This is not even up for debate, this is objective fact! I could debate with RE4R haters for hours and they would still lose, because they have NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to back up their hate. Even U-3 is coming in DLC, so he will be part of the RE4R anyway. There's absolutely no way i could ever go back to that old Ashley, tank controls and brown graphics. OG was my favorite game for over 15 years, but it's time to move on to the better version and i'm glad that Capcom actually managed to improve this game, cut out useless stuff and make everything better than before.

    Masterpiece and very clear GOTY!!!    … Expand

    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.
