    As someone who played the original RE4 at least 20 times this is definitely the way to remake a game. The only reason for the low rating is that Ashley is a huge downgrade. Her witty commentary and constant heavy breathing are annoying and I personally prefer her having a health bar as opposed to her getting hit and just sitting there asking to get hit again.

    this game is good, but I don't like it when they censor the characters, village the tall vampire lady looks good, but Ashly and Ada has a lot of clothes or wearing a sweater because stupid Americans would get easily offended, please release a patch to fix this stupid censorship, just mod the pc version of the original

    Another soulless cashgrab remake from capcom. Dumbed down difficulty, no extra modes, moving more towards an action/cod style gameplay than actual survival horror.

    The rendering delays are disappointing. The visual optimization through the menu is not helping much.
    Also, Ashley's behavioral changes from the original to the remake, have made the latter less enjoyable.
    Finally, there is cut content, and we are left with a promise that it will be part of the game in future updates. This makes this remake less than a whole experience. Unfortunately,

    Unfortunately, this is  a title which carries a certain legacy, and so the expectations are very high. The developers have done a decent job to re-imagine this title, but there is yet a lot to be done. Looking forward to the updates.

    too many things were changed, removed and censored compared to the original to be considered a mere enhancement, and not enough were changed to be seen as a distinct game in its own right. this remake did not need to exist

Have some consistency capcom. I’m shelling out 75 dollars for your game i expect for it to be Great. Not subpar and thats putting it lightly. Lily gao should never voice ada wong again. Who in the right mind decided she was the best VA to voice her? There was no need to replace Jolene Anderson! No need at all it’s an unwanted change. Not only that You guys cut content for seperate ways and assignment ada not to mention mercenaries isn’t even out on Day one. Is it because you guys know the Voice acting is Bad for Ada wong. Truly you guys do know deep down how bad lily gao is. At this point i don’t care to purchase the DLC you guys have planned unless she’s replaced. I’ll decide with my wallet what I’ll buy. It definetly wont be anything that’s attached to lily gao because she has no talent. None whatsoever. Id shell out money for a Voice pack of jolene anderson or sally cahill. Because that’s how bad the VA is. It’s horrible. That’s how upset I am that you at capcom don’t value your VA’s. Do better capcom!! We Ada fans are furious and disappointed. To spend 75 dollars on a game should be great in every aspect. Not just Gameplay. We know it’s not the Gameplay. Its why we all bought it. But that’s no excuse. But the fact of the matter is Everyone sounds like they are suppose to. EVERYONE EXCEPT ADA WONG. LILY GAO SHOULD NEVER VOICE ADA WONG AGAIN!!! PAY YOUR VOICE ACTORS WHAT THEY ARE WORTH UNION OR NOT!!! There’s no excuse for not bringing back Jolene Anderson who voiced Ada in Re2 Remake! NO EXCUSE Expand

Is it a third person shooting game? It has guns, but the pistol is weaker than a sling shot, and even shotgun couldn't kill anything efficiently, plus there never will be enough ammo for you. Is it a knife fighting game? Not really, there's isn't much short range attack moves for you to work with. Is it a stealth game? Again, not really. There're some enemies you can kill from behind, but that only makes up like 10% of them tops. So bottomline, I don't know what the **** is this. As a shooting game, it's not snappy and satisfying enough. It's a game you kinda shoot, kinda kick, kinda infiltrate, kinda fight boss, but at the end of day, you just got chased by a bunch of zombies and hope you can find a way to get to the next section.

    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.

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. 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,
    Someone who beat the original and knows this was a disgusting cash grab

Speaking of enemies, a lot of them are extremely frustrating to deal with. They all have tracking attacks and undodgeable grabs, headshots sometimes wont stagger even when they should. Playing on hardcore was the worse gaming experience I have ever had and Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 are my favorite games of all time. They tried to make the game hard but went the wrong way about it. The knife is a new major mechanic and it breaks extremely fast, the meele vest from the other has durabilty and after 4-5 hits it breaks and needs to be repaired. They added realism and ruined what makes gaming fun. Capcom is trash and there will probably never be another noteworthy RE game. 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 VA for Ada sounded like she was not interested in the game at all, i do not agree with people going into her social media accounts and insulting her, she was pretty bad at voice acting.
    They changed much of the dialogue and some of the outfits with some of the bonus outfits looking like trash and the censorship was bad. Please play the original if you want to experience the game.

    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.

    I love Resident Evil more than anything in the world, which is why it pains me to say this:

    REM4KE is terrible.

    I was too young to play the original RE4 when it came out, so my experience with the game is limited to a few scattered sections here and there across my later teenage years. I was nonplussed then, and I am certainly nonplussed now.

    This remake certainly captures the 'seriously? there's more?' feeling from the original, which is one of the pieces I wish they'd left behind. RE4 is always wanting to go bigger, go more outlandish, and get more ridiculous, almost to the detriment of the experience. RE4 is not scary, but, more offensively, it's not even fun.

    Leon turns like a bus and feels like he's on ice skates. Sprinting is infinitesimally faster than just walking. Ashley's pathing was coded in DOS in 1988. The setting sucks and the levels are usually a straight shot from entrance to exit. The battle arenas are obvious when you walk into them and are usually built around you training the enemies so you can eventually run right past them to the exit. There are bizarre vehicle sections that offer the player almost nothing aside from the headache of having to use the least navigable map of all time.

    Many people will like the illusion of open linearity and the opportunity to really fight instead of scavenge and survive, but I'm not many people. I don't go to RE for the action set pieces or the third person shooting galleries (which you can find in every other game now), I go to RE for the horror. The dark, cramped hallways with fakeout enemies. Crawling under floorboards while your captor walks above. Scavenging every last bit of ammo just to try to clear the next enemy and survive another few minutes.

    I don't come here for the backflips, the quips, the military arsenal, the bad lighting, the dull atmosphere, the nameless, faceless enemies, the stupid "plaga" that is somehow less interesting than the dumb fungus from the new trilogy, escort missions, catapults that make an entire section of the game unplayable, CoD zombies simulations, idle weapon sway (speaking of CoD), weapon bloom, low-res textures in/on the castle, and Leon's **** side part.

    Resident Evil 4, then and now, is not a good Resident Evil game. Its success seems more a remnant of the 2000s video game zeitgeist when it was cool to pack as much schlock into your games as possible. It was the game that ushered many of us from gaming nascency to adolescence so the nostalgia is fair...

    ...but that doesn't excuse the game for still being a boring, bloated, middling third-person shooter that wants to be Gears of War more than it wants to be a RE game.

    If there was one thing I liked, it was that Leon's hands shook in the early chapters of the game. That's it.

    Many see RE4 as the apex of the series, as a rebound from 3, and as a peak that was never reached until 7. For me, RE4 is the disappointment that proves that RE2 and RE7 are lightning in a bottle. It's the continuation of the downslide started by RE3.

    It's one of the worst games I've ever played.

    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.
