    разработчики умудрились испортить все, что было хорошего в предыдущих версиях. Вместо того, чтобы сделать игру интереснее и увлекательнее, они представили нам полное разочарование.

    Прежде всего, графика в игре стала отвратительной. Раньше она была красочной и детализированной, а сейчас выглядит словно откровенный мусор.

    Do NOT buy this remake. When you hit Chapter 9, boneheaded developers completely maul the game so badly that you are going to hate Resident Evil 4 forever because of it. They have over a dozen puzzles in this chapter, have you shift to playing as Ashley in stealth for God sakes, and then when you get past all that, they throw MORE PUZZLES AT YOU.

They have over a dozen puzzles in this chapter, have you shift to playing as Ashley in stealth for God sakes, and then when you get past all that, they throw MORE PUZZLES AT YOU. It's the single worst level of game design I've ever seen and completely destroys this game.

    Chapter 9,destroyed the mystique and intelligent design of the first game, and the game just gets more awful from there. If you want to play the best Resident Evil 4 game ever, play the original Resident Evil 4. These new developers don't understand storytelling, pacing, action, excitement, or the joy of mastering anything.

    PLAY THE ORIGINAL. Graphics don't help mechanics and game design as bad as Chapter 9 and 14. There is a crystal clear, pure, perfect version of this game, and you can buy it remastered for your PS5. Don't bother with this horrific remake. They also don't understand the ammo scarcity of the first game and simply thought "don't put much ammo" was the mechanic. It wasn't. The original Resident Evil 4 game knew how to pace that so that it didn't become so frustrating you turned the game off.

    If this had been the original Resident Evil 4, no one would have heard of it. I'm starting to think modern game designers got their degrees from an unaccredited internet university. You can see the scam this game is by the "critical reviews" and user reviews. When you're starting with a pure 9.3 ranked game, you'd think there's no way to mess that up. But yeah, they did. They took one of the closest-to-perfect games in history and turned it into a mindless 7.8 slog. I hated every minute from chapter 9 on. To the people ranking this slog-fest a "10." Even the original isn't a 10. It's close but not there, so barf and laugh to your reviews. How much did PS pay you?

    Sincerely,

    Man the voice work is horrible on the ears. Still missing a really good boss from the OG. Game feels all over the place and doesn't feel great. Laser aiming is gone. Humor is gone. Voice acting is bad all the way across the board. It's even woke in areas. It's a pretty sad little remake.

    There are countless great set pieces that are balanced to perfection in the original, but when replicated in the remake, most of those set pieces don't even come close. Set pieces were crucial to strength of Resi 4, and when the 1st Village encounter was far worse here in the Remake, I was deeply worried.
    Just the basic combat encounter design alone is no way near as strong as the original.
    It's take skill, vision, balancing & tuning to make fun shooter combat, but Capcom has often failed in that regard.
    You also get enemies who appear & grab you from behind with no indication, frequent generic combat, and some bosses that will exploit that the player doesn't have an always availble dodge move.

    The Music is far worse, and most of the new characters are bad ( except for the Merchant who is still good.)

    There's long periods of down time just traversing, which shows problems with pacing. This game is about 10 hours longer than the original, and they filled that extended length with padding, bad puzzles, long boring traversal and general filler.

    I played Resi 4 - 3 times just 2 months ago to prepare and be able to make a comparison. I'm now half way though my 2nd playthrough of the Remake and I'm sort of bored allready.

    Score is a 4, but I’m giving it a 0 - as a tactical counter to the lying cultists who give this unworthy game anything above an 7.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is very bad. The Original 2005 version is much better than the remade game now in 2023. They removed the Separate Ways mode with Ada, Assigment Ada as well. The game is very bad the crosshairs are no longer laser and the recoil of the weapons are exaggerated the crosshairs go up to the sky nothing to see this does not exist in real life. Resident Evil 2 3 and 4 remake follow the same pattern, right? It's the same bad pattern, the same bad gameplay sometimes terrible and annoying. These games now are not like the ones they used to be. Resident Evil 1 remake remains the best in the series as well as as good as the original Resident Evil 4 is so much so that the original's world score is now at 96 worldwide considering the current remake's score is lowering players' scores worldwide . The gameplay is boring, they took a lot of locations and monsters from the original game. The game is terrible, very bad unfortunately I don't recommend it... Congratulations Shinji Mikami for the Resident Evil classics until Resident Evil 4 original version of 2005 after that only failure of Capcom. I prefer Dead Space!… Expand

    Nessuna opzione per avere i costumi originali (o sbloccabili che è anche piu grave) o i visi di tutti i personaggi che sembrano strani e scoraggianti, Luis e Ashley fra tutti mi hanno fatto prendere il gioco usato.
    Leon è pesante, lento e la sua mira è pesantemente inaccurata, se prima sembrava audace ora sembra soltanto un ombra di se stesso.
    Il gioco si basa su un sistema di parata che non funziona poiche i coltelli hanno un utilizo finito e si rompono fin troppo facilmente anche con nemici a terra.
    Non averne uno significa niente uccisioni stealth, avrà saltato l'addestramento corpo a corpo.
    Decide il gioco cosa puì schivare e non so perche non hanno voluto usare la meccanica di schivata RE3 remake.
    Ho cambiato il voice acting per la prima volta in un RE da inglese a giapponese è assolutamente ridicolo specialmente per Ada.
    Per chi sa lo spagnolo potra notare che per qualche ragione i nemici sono piu gentili e non ti insultano quanto prima, Leon evita tutti tipi di comenti che hanno reso famoso il gioco, Ada e Ashley sono molto coraggiose probabilmente per Capcom e piu importante essere politicaly correct che fare un buon gioco all faccia dei fan e consumatori che li hanno supportati per anni.

TheThis game is a steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers cut out content and still had the audacity to slap a $60 price tag on this poor excuse of a remake. Where is Assignment Ada? Where is Separate Ways? This is an incomplete game. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. The camera is too close to be fighting giant monsters. Lack of shoulder swap makes it even more tedious. The aiming is beyond horrible. Rather than improving the aiming, the lazy developers copied and paste it from previous RE remakes. When it comes to graphics, I am not some nerd that takes out my telescope. All I know is it has an awful grainy look to it.

    The physics in this game are trash. When you roundhouse kick a zombie, the physics are identical to Ubisoft's garbage physics. It's even worse when you kick them off ledges. It looks like I'm knocking off chess pieces and luggage. As always, Capcom fails to add attention to detail you would expect from a AAA $60 game. I couldn't take a rifle from a wall mount in real-time. The briefcases magically open themselves. When I kick a barrel, the one next to it magically breaks. Not to mention the destruction of the barrels and boxes are PS2 quality. There is barely any splash when shooting the water. The voice acting is lame. The merchant's and Ada's voice are much worse than the original. Side missions are terrible. The level design is a joke and so are the puzzles.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. Mercenaries is confirmed to come out next month, although there is no confirmation on multiplayer. Even if there is multiplayer for Mercenaries, that's not going to cut it. I'd rather play Raid mode or PvP. We used to get like half a dozen game modes, and now these developers are so greedy and lazy to give me just one at launch. This "New Game plus" trend is the most pathetic, cheapest and laziest attempt at replay value ever. 60 freaking dollars, I expect more at that ridiculous price. I only recommend this game at $10 or wait until it's free on PS Plus.    … Expand

    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

    The story of the game is a mediocre story, the gameplay is very enjoyable and attractive, in terms of visuals, it is equal to Cross Gen 2023 games and has a stunning visual, the main boss fights are very similar to each other. The sound design of the game is wonderful, the enemies have a good variety and only one new type of enemy has been added to the remake compared to the original version.

    Resident Evil 4 Remake not only does right by its original source of inspiration, but it also sets a high bar for what modern day remakes can be. All components of the story have been finetuned into a more well-thought out package, and that’s before mentioning the game’s full use of today’s graphical prowess to deliver a more terrifying interpretation of rural Spain. The core gameplay also retains what made it so great back in the day, but with modern amenities such as a parrying system, quick-select for weapons and the ability to run. And despite the new improvements, the increased aggressiveness of the enemies ensures that the game never feels like a cakewalk. I don’t know who still needs to be convinced at this point, but Resident Evil 4 is a masterpiece that I cannot recommend enough.
