    So far, second best game of 2023, first place is Final Fantasy XVI. Overall very good remake, i tried to go back to original and it was just way too outdated, this remake is perfect way to play RE4 from now on. Sad to see those worthless losers, who are trying to review bomb this great game, but ultimately it doesn't matter, game is great and most people like it.

    Capcom has made the effort to offer us a solid remake for this RE4. But not everything is perfect.

    On the technical side, I played the game on PS5 equipped with a VRR-enabled screen while switching between resolution without ray-tracing and Performance modes with RT. In both cases 60 fps stable (50fps for the resolution mode with RT), with a preference for the resolution mode because
    Capcom has made the effort to offer us a solid remake for this RE4. But not everything is perfect.

    On the technical side, I played the game on PS5 equipped with a VRR-enabled screen while switching between resolution without ray-tracing and Performance modes with RT. In both cases 60 fps stable (50fps for the resolution mode with RT), with a preference for the resolution mode because honestly the RT does not bring much and the performance mode creates a slight blurring effect.
    I always find it difficult to form an opinion on the RE Engine, it still impresses me so much in the interiors, the modeling of the characters is correct but still this wax doll effect and I think it's a shame that a game like Uncharted 4 who is already 7 years old does much better. Outdoors the overall rendering remains good but some textures are bad. The rain is hideous and makes visibility complicated, moreover if you look towards the sky the rain simply disappears, average...

    RE4 remains a game with generous content, passages have been removed, others have been created, it suits me perfectly, the rhythm is very good despite a somewhat repetitive corridor/arena structure but difficult to do otherwise in the genre.

    I really liked the gameplay, I didn't find Leon too heavy, perhaps a possible slowness in aiming but which can be adjusted to suit its convenience in the options which are numerous. Small disappointment on certain phases such as the fight against Del Lago which allows itself to be less good, less epic than in the original. On PS5 excellent use of triggers and haptic feedback which offer very good sensations in exploration as in combat.

    In conclusion, very satisfied with this remake, which is at least a real game worthy of the name, with a real playful interest and its press ratings are quite understandable unlike a certain Hogwarts Legacy. A greatly improved visual and gameplay, a scenario also made less kitsch, it's a real pleasure to explore this universe, solve the puzzles, find all the treasures, do the side quests. It's been a long time since I said that, thanks Capcom.

    Generally the game-play is good but to be honest, it is harder than the original RE4. One shot is not enough to kill a normal target zombie under standard. It will be harsh for some players.
    If the level can be adjust or super easy (compare to original maybe somehow standard level?) can be added, it would be better.
    Overall to say, I love this game and I don't think it deserves 0 in some reviews.
    Different people may have different expectations but in my opinion, capcom did do a great job thank you for providing this remake.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I have to say that I consider the Original RE4 a masterpiece and for me it is the best game of all times. When I heard about the remake I had certain expectations for it. Mostly it had to get rid of the few negative aspects of the game, cut the bad sections and add better ones instead and update the game to modern standards in terms of graphic and gameplay. The remake does a lot of good things in this regard but also misses a lot of good opportunities.
    The biggest flaw of the OG game was the island section for me (and a lot of others) where the game shifts a little too much to an action game. The pacing was just not right as there were too many action orientated segments and too few atmospheric and creepy ones. Especially because of the genius village and castle areas that come before it, the Salazar fight was always a turning point for me playing the OG. After the fight I always get the feeling that the most fun parts are over and that the game goes downhill from now one except for a few nice moments left like the regenerators or the U3 fight. My main expectation for this game was that the game will see the biggest changes here. Although there are some changes the remake unfortunately does not enough in my opinion. Not only is the U3 fight cut (maybe it will be in Ada's story though) but there was also not enough NEW things here. I would have loved to see another section where you play as Ashley here for example to lower the pace and build more atmosphere again. Big missed opportunity!
    In general there were a lot of things cut in the game but if you do that then you have to add something new at the same time or it is just lazy.
    Overall the remake stays close to the OG and accomplishes to improve the game in a lot of ways and especially for people that missed this masterpiece back in 2005 it is the best chance to experience it.

    Some other things I liked about the remake:

    - parry system with the knife. Also that the knife has durability. Really nice choice to add that.
    - moving while aiming, shooting and reloading obviously
    - more dialogue and storytelling in general is improved
    - new weapons (also knifes! I found that super cool)
    - the mine thrower is a really nice weapon now as you can use it as a bolt thrower too
    - you can store your weapons (at any time) in the storage which means that you can actually collect and switch between them in one run
    - the merchant tasks and his dialogue
    - enemy designs
    - the new treasure system
    - the shooting range looks awesome!
    - crafting system
    - character design

    and some negatives:

    - no healing items on short cuts and therefore no healing animations like in RE5. You still have to pause the game to go into the item menu to heal. That takes the player out of the moment (most likely a fight)
    - I don't like to criticize specific people so much but the voice actor of Ada did a really bad job in this game and the performance is not worthy a game of this reputation.
    - the "You are dead" screen is just worse than the OG one. Why did they not keep that?
    - some death animations are either censored or poorly made. Some examples are: The Dr. Salvador kill from the front. The acid kill by Novistadors. The "fingers in the eye" animation (Leon's expression and the scream do not fit at all).
    - some reload animations do no feel so stylish and cool like in the OG
    - Although the OG soundtrack is still remixed in the game at some points, the new one can't reach this level of uneasiness that the OG one achieved

It makes smart changes that better allow the story and characters to breathe while keeping the pace fluid. Gameplay is unbelievably smooth, crafting a viscerally satisfying punch to both gunplay and melee that showcases Capcom’s sharper focus on horror. Social

    This game is truly fantastic, it fixes nearly all the problems from the other remake titles from the past and improves on a lot of the outdated stuff from the original game (especially the castle sections pacing).

    I am confident that Resident Evil 4 Remake will forever be the absolute peak of the Survival Horror genre. This title delivers on cutting-edge visuals, atmospheric exploration, tense encounters, tight combat design, engrossing puzzles and impeccable writing. I love how they managed to balance nostalgia with freshness so that people both new to the series as well as fans of the iconic original entry will be fully immersed.

    It's heartening to witness that the development team behind this remake completely understood how and why the original RE4 became such a beloved game and as a result, carried across all the significant details while enhancing them with a modernized flair. The witty one-liners, tactical depth, occult themes, top-notch gunplay, nonsensically rambling Spaniards, it's all there!

    As a hardcore fan of the Resident Evil series I couldn't be any happier. This is a dream game come to life. Make sure to dive in without knowing anything about it cause it has abundant surprises in store. I wholeheartedly recommend REmake 4 to any and every gamer out there. CAPCOM has gifted us with a masterpiece that is as essential to experience as 2005's RE4 was. Dare i say it, perhaps even more so...

The game did not subtract from the original experience, but only increased the joy and intense moments that you will feel throughout Leon’s adventure. Introducing the Perry system with a knife and modern day gameplay, this is one of the best remix available on the market today. With mercenary mode coming April 7 this game has even more potential than ever. Combining the elements of the resident evil 2 remake into the resident evil four remake was the perfect decision made by Capcom. This is a must play game for any salmon new to the resident evil series or an existing fan. Expand

    Graphics and optimization could be better, but keep in mind that the game comes out on the old generation of consoles too. However, the gameplay, redesigned locations and plot, character models, music, voice acting - a strong nine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Other companies should take notes. THIS is how you are supposed to "modernize" a product. Modern controls, modern mechanics, modern graphics... NOT modern real life politics.

    The game is obviously different. Yet... it feels familiar. The spirit of the original is still there! Boss fights are improved (although one was cut out). Ashley finally resembles a human, is actually useful and is significantly less annoying to a point I wanted to rescue her. Luis got more screen time and the game's better for it.
    Remake even improved on what was seriously lacking in the OG - horror. It's still not a horror game (far cry from it's predecessors) but there are more scary parts, albeit not that scary.

    Well done Capcom!

    I think it's a great game. It's just as great and as flawed as the original in different ways. The graphics are great and the questionable elements of the story have been improved. However, the controls are clunky and Leon is extremely slow.

This remake brings significant gameplay improvements and a less whacky tone making it a better companion piece to the excellent Resi 2 remake. Characters are more likeable and well-rounded. People seem to be bothered by the fact Ashley is no longer completely pathetic and there are a lack of upskirt shots and less sexist dialogue. Hers and Leon’s relationship is much better handled, and while a good deal of the cheese is cut, the trade off is better atmosphere and horror elements. Sure, some cut content over the course of the game but in my opinion it helps the pacing, there are some great new additions too and almost all changes are for the better. Game is still a 20+ hour campaign without any bloat or filler. I played on Ps5 and found performance and visuals good overall. This is how a remake should be handled. Ignore the petulant downvoting, game of the year for me so far, had a blast. Expand

Pros: Game has even more complex mechanics, especially parry mechanic is very usuful, knife durability constantly puts you to decide when to use it or which knife to use or craft bolts instead basically theres far more tactical decisions to make from player than in the original, So if you just start shooting, never approach anything with a plan and then complain at lack of resources you are playing the game wrong(As I saw many reviews). So to compensate player advantages enemies are faster and a little bit stronger. There's much to tell(crafting, stealth which puts you at advantage at the start of the combat, different cases and charms etc...) but you get the idea. You will find out by yourself.

    Cons: I'll start with a more subjective problem which is enemy stagger. In the original 1 headshot would immidiately stagger enemy so you could melee it here It needs several shots(Maybe It happens only for hardcore mode which I played first time) which I had problem getting used to it but that issue slowly became less problematic. Second there is no much content after finishing the game, Capcom is planning to release mercenary mode later as a free dlc but I hate this behaviour from modern companies not delivering the full package.

    I recommend to buy it even now. If you have not played RE 4 before play original first and then remake both will worth your time.

Professional S+ is too easy, parries trivialized the difficulty in this game. The tank controls and stiffness of OG adds a layer of depth and frustration that can only be replicated in 2005. And don't get me started on Ashley. Why can't I look up her skirt, Capcom? What have you done to yourselves? That alone is why this game deserves a 5/10.

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.
