    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t leave reviews but with the overwhelming amount of brain dead discord moderator **** virgins who want to leave fake reviews and complain they can’t see pixilated panties in this new remake of RE4.
    The game is honestly an almost well polished faithful reimagining of the classic 2005 release of Resident Evil 4. The atmosphere and tone to the game leaves me feeling suspense and dread from the dungeons of the castle when you fight your first Garrador all the way to the laboratory filled with grotesque terrifying Regeneradors. With heart racing action packed set pieces that are way more balanced than the over abundance of enemies in the original. The island section of the game definitely got toned down from the OG which is something I’m so happy for because the original island section was the worst part of the game with nothing but filler and randomness that left a sour taste in my mouth. With the remake only really keeping two sections from the OG with heavy action and I’m 100% okay with that. Yes I am disappointed that they cut U3 in favor of renaming other enemies as UII & UIII. U3 was the most terrifying boss in the classic but he did serve as filler in the original so I can see why they would cut him from the game but I am holding out hope maybe he will make a return in the DLC for Separate Ways. Which brings me to my next gripe about the game and that is the cut side content (Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, Mercenaries). I know mercenaries will be in the game as free DLC on April 7th but it honestly should have been in the game on launch day but I can live without it for a couple weeks. Now with Separate Ways/Assignment Ada, these were completely cut from the game and as of right now Capcom has yet to confirm these as future DLC but with the help of data miners they have uncovered the files for Separate Ways so at least we know as of right now it’s about a 99% chance we will be getting that. Unfortunately it will probably be behind a paywall probably $20-$40. That is honestly a major L for capcom to release a RE4 Remake without all of the added content at launch. But the game alone makes up for it with how replayable the game is. The added challenges to the bonus shop and character customizations and a bunch of different challenge runs to really test your skills as a player. I’m not one to really use costumes in my Resident Evil games and I really don’t like that they added animal parts with special abilities (infinite ammo, extra knife damage, increase kick damage) I really don’t want to add cat ears and fox tails to Leon because it’s too goofy and makes you look like a furry. The game faithfully remade RE4 by keeping about 90% of the main campaign but expanding those areas to reach that 100% potential. The way they fleshed out Luis in the game and made him more involved in the story. You fighting Krauser in two separate knife only hand to hand combats and then fighting him in his mutated form. Ashley getting an overhaul where she isn’t as annoying as the original and she actually has amazing character development and grows as a person. I would love to see her return in a future title as an agent as she mentioned in the ending of the game. Now we get to Ada as a character… yes I wasn’t a fan of the VA, Capcom has an issue of not using the same VAs for their games. It’s like using the VA for Chris Redfield in Village, it’s the same VA as Carlos in RE3R. I don’t like how they manage their VAs for characters. Ada sounds too nasally with a clump in her throat. But she isn’t in the game for very much so it’s not going to hinder my review score for this. The combat feeling amazing with every gun sounding and feeling incredible. The parry mechanic being such an amazing addition to the game. Making you feel like a badass once you get the hang of it and being able to deflect anything in half a second making it muscle memory. I see people complaining that the aiming is too hard or the game is too difficult and for that, honestly it’s a skill issue. You need to practice it, you’re not going to be good at the game as soon as you pick up the controller. You have to adapt to the new play style of this REMAKE. if you want the original then go play the original and stop crying over stupid fake reasons. I only ran into one graphical error where the floor was not rendered in the courtyard and in the beginning of chapter 13 of the island. Restarted the game and they were back in and never saw that happen again. Only one frame drop issue in the area where Leon drops down in the underground spike trap area but that never happened to me again. The game runs fine and phenomenally on new gen systems and PC. If you’re having issues on your PS4 then honestly that’s the hardware you’re playing on
    Oh and if you’re mad you can’t see Ashley’s panties in the remake, go touch some grass and just go watch Ashley on Rule34 or wait for the nude mods you basement dwellers

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just beat the game, really enjoyed it. Some of the acting could have been better. I will admit there were a few things the original did better then the remake. My favorite part of the game so far though, the stealth mechanic. Being able to sneak around the blind berserkers and knife um in the back, so satisfying. The changes to the boss fights were very interesting. They felt similar enough for me to understand what I needed to do and yet, at the same time. It was different enough to throw me off. Except for the fight with Salazar... That was very different, a little disappointed that we didn't get the transformation sequence for him but mehh. Honestly, my biggest complaint really, was the voice of Wesker. They've literally gotten a new voice for wesker every game Can we have DC Douglas back when they do RE5 Expand

    I don't understand why there's a sea of trolls here hating on the game. The aiming is not easy. I hate playing shooters on PS5 because I always played on PC, but i was able to finish this game on PS5 in around 11 hrs. That is proof that the controls are not difficult!

    Tons of fun, surprises and twists. Ashley is less annoying. Ada is hot as always and Leon is a legend.
    Can't wait for the Ada DLC, which definitely will happen, given the storyline of Leon's story

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just Platinumed the Game and I have to say it is a masterpiece. Having played the original I did miss some parts and lines, but the amount of content and work put into this game is amazing. You can parry incoming axes, arrows, you can roundhouse kick or suplex following the prompt after a nice head shot. The sound is amazing, you can hear flashbangs echo through the room, the soundtrack and they even bring back parts of the original soundtrack. Theres so many things you can do like side quests or even challenges that will definitely leave you frustrated but with satisfaction after completing. This game requires multiple playthroughs especially on hardest difficulties to get the true experience. Highly recommend. P-S this game is hard until you get the hang of it. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Can't believe the petty people review bombing such a wonderful game. This game is a remake of the beloved classic from 2004, it takes what re4 did and replicates it in many ways, making it familiar but different. Like all games it won't be for everyone, and like all remakes we could persist with the debate of if the game even needed the remake treatment in the first place. But from the terrifying regenerators turning into iron maidens or the tower in the village collapsing in a surprising moment. This remake has twists and turns I never expected, and yes it has cuts but in their place are other things. This game is not a replacement for the game we loved or hated back in 2004 its a game to stand alongside it and be an alternative for those who want an updated or different experience. We shouldn't be throwing shade at capcom for one decision or another so early in the games launch, with mercenaries on the way, and separate ways still just speculation and rumors, there's so much more to put these bad reviews to shame, or even prove myself wrong. But I'm here for it, what's important to me is this game is a ton of fun and occupies my free time with carnage, horror, one liners, and a 80's b movie style story that I love to bits. Resident evil 4 is a game that deserves more than what it's being given. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's everything a remake should aspire for! the story is much better; they deepened some of the side characters's stories and interactions with Leon (Ashley's being my favourite). If you aren't familiar with the franchise, Shinji Mikami (RE4 creator), even said that he wanted the devs in charge of the remake to change the story and make it better. (spoiler: they did)

    Additionally, the boss fights have improved a lot and are way more epic than in the OG game (Krauser and Saddler's are undoubtedly the best boss fights in the remake and surpass the ones in the OG). People complain a lot regarding some parts being removed and believe me, as a hardcore resi fan that has played the OG games plenty of times, I can assure you that you won't feel that something's missing. Capcom did an amazing job by replacing certain parts that didn't make it to the remake (laser hall, Salazar's statue, U3 fight) with others that make more sense and feel more cohesive in terms of design and environment. The aspect that I absolutely adore about this remake is how they explored Leon's trauma after all that happened in Raccoon City. He's still that playful guy from the OG game, but way more human and professional. You can see how he struggles with the fact that he couldn't do much to save people in RC, so that's why he wants things to be different this time. I thought nothing could ever top RE2 Remake, but I was wrong. If you're more of an action-oriented game person, definitely give it a try!

There are some notable changes to some parts to the story, but nothing that takes away from the game or effects it in a negative way. The controls are now modern just like resident evil 2 remake, which is a good thing in my opinion.

    Such changes are the exclusion of the U - 3 boss fight, the run a away truck section right before the castle. The PRLS has been removed as well.

    New additions to the game are the charms, that add buffs like 8% faster walk speed, that can be earned in the shooting range mini games. There is also a new weapon called the bolt thrower which has retrievable ammo. Resident Evil 4 remake has no lack of unlockable content either. over a dozen accessories and Ashley's iconic armor set. The hand cannon makes a return, this time by being unlocked by beating pro mode on a new save, much easier unlock this time around.

    Mercenaries comes out in about a week, so there will be no lack of content for RE4 fans. Luis is being added to the mode. Seperate Ways DLC has been datamined so it will be released at a later date.

    My only real complaint about the game is Ada Wong's lack luster voice actor. but that is a small complaint.

    Ive read other reviews and I don't see how people think the game is so hard, it is considerably easier then the original game. I had no issues on normal mode, actually the game felt to easy. But I guess some people just can't handle a good game.

    I highly recommend this game

At first, I was a little blinded by my disdain towards RE4 (2005), and despite my hype, I was very skeptical of it — but rest assured, Resident Evil 4 Remake is. It’s literally gotten rid of everything that I didn’t like about the original RE4, and also update things that didn’t necessarily make sense in the OG (like the annoying bug enemies going invisble, now they’re only capable of camouflage.) The game has AWESOME combat that makes Leon & YOU feel badass. It still keeps the headshot into roundhouse kick gameplay loop, but with a fluid animation that seams perfectly back into fast & epic gameplay, it NEVER grows as repetitive as it does in OG RE4. And c’mon — parrying?! This mechanic alone accounts for 7/10 points for the game, it is literally perfect. I’ve had many cool moments with it. Shooting a ganado in the head, hearing the phrase “Detrás de ti, imbécil,” and quickly turning around into a parry has to be one of the coolest memories. Or when I perfect parried an attack, which grants a melee opportunity, kicked the ganado onto a wall, and then ran up and stabbed his neck. Every individual fight feels raw & intense, it’s such a **** FUN game. And the story? Hella great! Good guys like Luis, Ashley, Hunnigan, and Leon himself have seen major updates to their character. Leon’s story has become more believable, with him not being “the President’s most trusted friend,” but literally the ONLY option the president has — due to a major scandal, caused by Krauser. Despite this, Leon is really gentle. When he saves the dog, instead of going on about his day, he goes “Take care, buddy.” It’s such a gentle touch to his character, that it makes you recall that rookie cop in RE2, something that the OG RE4 fails to do, imo. The game really overhauled him. Ashley got a similar treatment, gradually learning to stand out on her own & fight to survive, with an overhauled section that doesn’t actually suck. Luis?! My god, I don’t know if I have enough characters left to explain HOW MUCH I LOVE LUIS IN THIS REMAKE. I couldn’t have cared less for his death in the OG, but as the game went on, and Leon & Luis team up, that feeling of knowing his fate came upon me … and I cared for him. This game made me actually care about what RE4’s story, its characters, and most of all — they gave the merchant a personality. 10/10. Expand

    Se apega muy bien al concepto del original, y si bien algunas partes han cambiado, sí que supieron cómo adaptarlas fielmente, haciendo incluso más coherente y "lógico" lo que en el original parecía sacado de una película de acción (como el hecho de correr de una piedra gigante).

    Disfruté a más no poder del gameplay, y estoy totalmente seguro que me jugaré muchísimas más veces este juegazo como lo hice con el original.

    Una maldita obra maestra.

    I understand that some people might prefer the original game over the ramake, as often occurs with this new versions of games that might be very nostalgic and important for us, but that doesn’t change the fact that capcom put a lot of effort in this game, making it already one of the best experience we’ll get this year.
    I thing is important for everyone that is getting into this game to avoid pointless criticism and the toxic fans that are harassing ada wong VO just because it didn’t fit their expectations or taste.
    I personally thing that every character was remade in a better way and most of the changes were necessary to fit modern times.
    Gameplay, sound design and graphics are fantastic but i think the performance can be improved to work properly in every console.
    PS5 and xbox series have a lot of issues.
    In my experience with the ps5 version, I found problems with textures and frames dropping often in every mode available.
    This problems are not big and the game is perfectly playable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely incredible and has so much replay value. As a fan who was introduced to the series from the og Resident evil 2 and has played just about every mainline and spinoff titles, this one may be one of my top 3 games out there, equal or slightly below the RE2 Remake. The game runs buttery smooth on my PS5 and the controls are pretty good, the voice acting from almost everyone is excellent although Ada had a pretty lacking performance. Ashley was way more of an enjoyable character than in the original and the games atmosphere felt a slight bit more eerie than in the original. Where i'd say the original Leon felt very A-lister action movie hero, this new Leon had shown a bit less of that and more of a survivor of traumatic events sort of demeanor, which is a nice change. They did cut some things but i feel they had been cut for good reason, and one i am glad they cut was the Quick Time Events. They were my least favorite part of the og RE4 and i was certainly hoping they would be cut. The re-vamped knife combat was refreshing and the gunplay was so crisp. Overall i think they went above and beyond with this game and i can only hope to see Leon's return in the next Resident Evil game with this new Leon because they have smashed it outta the park.

In other words, don't take this user score seriously, because it is, literally, manipulated and fake.

    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. Because Remake literally improves everything else. Also i'm pretty sure that U-3 will be in the DLC, so hopefully soon, even that problem is solved.

    Thank you Capcom for making 2023 such a great year!

    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.
