    Siento que Resident Evil Remake 4 ofrece una perspectiva más realista que su antesesora, tiene detalles soberbios que me enbriagan de felicidad y el como se maneja las mecanicas es fascinante.

    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!

    Original was one of the best games of 2000s and one of the best games ever made, but for obvious reasons it is very much outdated by modern standards in 2023. This great remake improves on pretty much all the shortcomings of the Original and is now the best version of RE4!

    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.

    Hi Capcom guys, I would really appreciate it if you would take my following recommendations into account to integrate them into the recent Re4 remake through an update.
    Ahsley without a doubt is one of my favorite characters and I would love to please remove the recovery frames she has, because when you throw a Grenade, when you throw a blinding she lasts stunned for many seconds, also    Hi Capcom guys, I would really appreciate it if you would take my following recommendations into account to integrate them into the recent Re4 remake through an update.
    Ahsley without a doubt is one of my favorite characters and I would love to please remove the recovery frames she has, because when you throw a Grenade, when you throw a blinding she lasts stunned for many seconds, also when an enemy charges her and you shoot the enemy, she falls to the ground and when she gets up she stands there for a few seconds without reacting, when you tell her to "follow you closely" she stays behind and really is not as close to you as she is supposed to be, when you tell her to move away she goes into a state called "alone" where the NPC seems to be lost and doesn't move, please guys developers remove that state, remove those recovery frames, make ahsley's AI faster and more efficient when reacting, when she is on the ground she should get up fast, run fast, crouch fast, she can move much further away when you give her the "move away" command, she can move away from end to end to make it more difficult for the cattle to abduct her.
    It would be great if ahsley could give you ammunition every so often when you are short of bullets, and when you have no more healing ahsley could give you a healing (yellow, red and green grass) so you can raise your health bar.
    One more mechanic that could be added, is that although ahsley doesn't help us in combat, she struggles to prevent them from taking her, it would be super cool if she could win the struggles, for example... while the cattle has her by the neck, she pushes him and runs away. I would like to thank you all for your attention, thank you very much for your attention, and I hope that we can all agree that you will implement all the above in ahsley through an update to make the game experience much more enjoyable. Thank you very much for your attention. I would love to see ahsley come back in a future game as an agent. it would be great to see her once again and know what happened to her and of course to play with her. If they make a remake of re6 they could remove helena and instead ahsley be the companion of leon, and that the merchant of re4 return and exchange dialogues of how he survived the island etc...    … Expand

Es un muy buen juego creo yo que tiene el premio al juego del año asegurado gracias a que su único punto malo es que no es cien por ciento fiel al juego original ya que faltan una arma extra y falta un jefe del juego original pero si pasas eso por alto es el mejor juego de este año 2023 mucho mejor que el zelda TOTK… Expand

    El juego mejora por completo todos los aspectos básicos del juego y complementa cosas secundarias, también expande el lore y le da más seriedad a la historia.

    The Perfect Remake of an Already Perfect Game

    Resident Evil 4 (2005) has been my favourite game ever since I was a child. I'd play it to completion at least once a year, usually around Christmas time, as that's when i first had it bought for me, and I've always enjoyed my playthrough. When Resident Evil 4 (Remake) was announced, I was both excited and anxious. My reasons for being    The Perfect Remake of an Already Perfect Game

    Resident Evil 4 (2005) has been my favourite game ever since I was a child. I'd play it to completion at least once a year, usually around Christmas time, as that's when i first had it bought for me, and I've always enjoyed my playthrough.

    When Resident Evil 4 (Remake) was announced, I was both excited and anxious. My reasons for being excited are obvious but my reasons for being anxious are simply due to the quality of the Resident Evil 3 remake, which was very underwhelming. Oh, how wrong I was.

    In actual review terms and not just me mindlessly complimenting the game, I'd like to go over a few things.

    The gameplay is rather similar to RE2, RE3 and RE7 (With Shadow of Rose 3rd person mode DLC). It's a third person over the shoulder action shooter survival horror game. Throughout the game you'll be exploring different settings whilst managing your inventory and currency and gunning down any enemy hostiles that get in your way.
    There are plenty of puzzles sprinkled around the place and what I found to be great, but different from the original, are the little Merchant Side Quests you get along the way.
    Everyone always jokes about how they hate "Escort Quests" in games, despite Resident Evil 4 being one giant escort quest, although it doesn't feel like one.
    The shooting is solid for what it is, recoil and precision aiming are pretty realistic, you'll find yourself needing to re-align your shots quite frequently. Most of the time, holding down aim and just shooting wildly will simply not work.

    Story. Effectively, the Presidents Daughter has been kidnapped and you, Leon Scott Kennedy, the protagonist, have been sent to a rural village in Europe (Specifically Spain) to find her. Naturally you begin to realise that things have gotten very out of control as you traverse through the region in different settings in order to complete your mission whilst dealing with some demons of the past along the way. That's all I'd like to say on the story as to not spoil anything.

    The game looks utterly gorgeous. For me the best part of the game was being in areas in which I knew -exactly- where I was in the original and how they've managed to really bring the game into modernity. It looks amazing and I'd always get so excited walking into an area like. "Oh my god, I know exactly where I am!" But seeing it in high resolution in 60fps, it's genuinely a real feel good moment.

    What I will say is, this version of Resident Evil 4 is a bit more serious that the original. The original's dialogue is definitely a product of its time. It's a bit campy, a bit goofy at times but that was all part of the charm. Resident Evil 4 (Remake) is a lot more serious, however I'd probably say that's better. It fits the tone of the world and game better. The game is harder than the original which is a blessing and as such it should be taken a bit more seriously.
    However! Some of the more iconic lines from the original Resident Evil 4 (2005) are sprinkled through the game. If you played the original like I did, you'll 100% be smiling when you hear them, those little call backs make the game so worthwhile.

    I'd like to just briefly talk about Ashley, specifically in comparison to how she is in the original. Ashley Graham, in the Remake, is 10x more likeable than in the original. The developers must have known this. She doesn't feel as completely useless like in the original. Her dialogue is sharper, she feels a lot more like a real young woman put into a dire situation. She doesn't come across as the "Spoiled President Daughter" type, instead she feels like a real girl. Unlike the original, having Ashley with me didn't feel like a problem and I love the constant back and forth between her and Leon. So I'm glad they changed her personality and her role a little in the game.

    Overall, Resident Evil 4 Remake, for me, is a phenomenal game. Even the last section of the game which I tended to dislike in the original is just so much better. I still think Resident Evil 4 (2005) is a solid game, even by today's standards and is worth playing, but if you have to pick one or the other, pick this one.

    10/10; I'll now be playing this version once every year at Christmas. Thank you, Capcom, for remaking my favourite game of all time and turning it into a total masterpiece.    … Expand

    Absolutely love this game. You can just tell how much love Capcom put into it and they stayed true to the original in so many ways. A lot of things did change, especially the castle, but they were all risks I really think paid off. They still gave Leon some funny lines, and many of them that weren't included they still referenced in the challenge names. The game was still very action-basedAbsolutely love this game.

    The best game I have ever played. Of course, I like the original version very much, but I haven't tried it yet, and I think this version can be just as good as the old version. Also, I'm sorry because my language is not English and I used a translator and I think it's not written very well.

    Capcom remakes are insanely good
    the gun mechanics have improved greatly
    the new way of telling the story is perfect

The gameplay is super fun and immersive, giving Leon the ability to know parry, and yes that means even parrying a Chainsaw. Only Leon am I right?

    The only issue I had was when the rain started pouring, it would drop frames for a bit (BTW I played on PC and then again some on PS5).

    Overall it's a fantastic game, a fantastic remake, and a fantastic RE game.    … Expand

    Almost perfect remake, most boss fights are equally good as OG, but mostly improved. I was missing U-3, but hopefully it's in DLC. Overall i'm very happy with the remake and wouldn't mind RE5 getting next remake, even tho i would love to have Dino Crisis remake. Dino Crisis has huge potential to be something great.

    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.
