    Excelente game! Jogabilidade, história, e na minha opinião superou o RE4(2005)

    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    … Expand

    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

    Perfection has been reached with this remake, it stands to reason that some parts have been removed, but the game doesn't feel short at all. The new movement and knife mechanics are great, plus Leon's stealth.

    It has been a long time since I last got myself immersed into a incredible game like this! "How time fly!" this is the true feeling when I saw the clock after I played RE4 for a really long time~ Thanks Capcom, you didn't let us down this time! But I have to say, the ENG cv of Ada really sucks!!!!

    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    … Expand

    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

    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.
