    Wow they did it, made another greatest game of all time. To spite the game urinalists this is a reminagining of the origional and dosent detract from th origional GC Masterpeice at all. Just now there is 2 legendary games named RE4. Game is perfect besides the dead zone on Xbox needs fixing .

    I thoughroughly enjoyed playing through this remake. In many ways the original game defined modern action adventure 3rd person gameplay so it was interesting to see what capcom would do here. Ultimately it plays better, looks better and has the same corny 90's vibe that gives the series it's identity. The performance felt great with my vrr display in resolution mode. For fans of the series this is a must buy. *Seems there has been some review bombing here - I have adjusted my score to compensate. Metacritic needs to sort this problem out!

    I love the resident evil franchise especially the original fourth part, the remaster of the first part but also the remake of the second part. the third part had weaknesses and was not much fun, but the remake of the fourth vind I only bad.....
    I'll make it short: too sluggish control, in contrast to the movement speed of the enemies, bullet sponges everywhere (and so exaggerated),

    I just finished this game on xbox on normal difficulty and i can say this game is a super fun ride and an experience every gamer - who appreciates quality video games - should make. The graphics, the sound design, enemy design, atmosphere, characters, music, sandbox, the combat, the horror, the overall presentation, everything is top notch. Why do i give it "only" a 9 out of 10 rating?

Why do i give it "only" a 9 out of 10 rating? In my opinion most bossfights seem a bit uninspired and the controls on the xbox are worthy of improvement (dead zones for left stick). But all in all a fantastic game and the fact that we can unlock a new game plus and costumes and much more while playing the game without paying for stupid microtransactions shows that Capcom really cares.
    I will go now and start a new playthrough on hardcore.

    Es fiel al original con mecánicas y enemigos nuevos. No digo que el juego sea de 10 porque eso es subjetivo pero objetivamente menos de 7 no puedes ponerle porque lo único que podrías quejarte es que faltara U-3 y los DLCS (que llegaran mas adelante).
    Porque si lo comparamos con el original, el remake es mejor tanto en mecánicas, jugabilidad, desarrollo de personajes y ambientación.

Foi feito com muito carinho e a Capcom merece os parabéns por esse Remake que finalmente está fiel a sua obra original, diferente do Resident Evil 3 remake, o residente Evil 4 remake está excelente e muito fiel então vale muito a pena você comprar o jogo porque tenho certeza que você não vai se arrepender. Para ficar perfeito só tá faltando lançarem o separate ways espero que venha logo mais porque é a única coisa que está faltando nesse remake a visão da Ada nesse jogo. Para quem está sentindo falta do inimigo u3 fique tranquilo porque ele deve aparecer na campanha da Ada, o inimigo u3 não fazia muito sentido na campanha principal, ele era um inimigo muito aleatório na campanha original e agora na campanha do remake faz muito mais sentido a linha do tempo que criada pela Capcom onde os inimigos tem um lote maior e mais detalhado e bem explicado e u3 não fazia parte disso então ele foi um excelente corte um acerto da Capcom.

    На последок хотелось бы сказать, что ремейк превосходит оригинал практически во всём абсолютно. Теперь эту игру не стыдно назвать Resident Evil !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been looking forward to the Resident Evil 4 remake for a long time since its announcement, I had high expectations from the game, as the developers from Resident Evil 2 started the project. I had no doubts that they will make the game as high quality as the second part, but I don't know how wrong I was. To begin with, it does not have the spirit of the original, to my regret they could not feel the thing that, it seems to me, not many understood why they love her, and why she is so catchy. The feeling of loneliness, hopelessness, well-executed action component, great design, great soundtrack (and not the composition playing in the island, stolen from Wonder Woman, to say that I was shocked, to say nothing, am I playing a **** DC comic?), stylistically the original is great, the font and inventory menu is a pleasure to look at, that Japanese game (in a good way) that happens on the screen is what we all love so much for the 4th part. The remake, with its very strong marketing campaign, with huge credibility, did nothing to make me feel at home in it. So: disgusting optimization on Xbox series x in all modes, texture loading, cows getting stuck in textures, zombies lagging, disgusting aiming controls (sensitivity settings do not help here either), terrible camera, if the enemy is close to Leon, it also gives miss if you are pushed or grabbed. The soundtrack in connection with Wonder Woman is just terrible, the water looks like a carpet, and this is on a nextgen. Oh yes, when the original came out, it was a real nextgen, where is all this, Capcom? The lighting is terrible in places, this primarily concerns Leon's face, which looks WORSE than in the second part of the remake. There are no additions during the passage, the fight with Krauser is just a joke, and the biggest problem is that, apart from optimization, nothing can fix this. Capcom jumped above its head when the Resident evil 2 remake came out. Unfortunately, I don’t look forward to their next project, although I bought everything that is possible from this series and not on one platform. I'm a big fan of this series and I was sad when rez6 came out (then the game was made by a big team that made different chapters, and you can really feel it). The same thing happened with 4. It has no integrity, it's an expensive project, but it's anything but resident evil 4. It has a lot of problems, too many. The maximum that I can give her is 3 points, since 0 is not an assessment, but 3 threw for the efforts to bring something of their own, but instead of making their own, or just a copy, they did not succeed either another.

    There are countless great set pieces that are balanced to perfection in the original, but when replicated in the remake, most of those set pieces don't even come close. Set pieces were crucial to strength of Resi 4, and when the 1st Village encounter was far worse here in the Remake, I was deeply worried.
    Just the basic combat encounter design alone is no way near as strong as the original.
    It's take skill, vision, balancing & tuning to make fun shooter combat, but Capcom has often failed in that regard.
    You also get enemies who appear behind you with no indication, frequent genetic combat, and some bosses that will exploit that the player doesn't have an always availble dodge move.

    The Music is far worse, and most of the new characters are bad ( except for the Merchant who is still good.)

    There's long periods of down time just traversing, which shows problems with pacing. This game is about 10 hours longer than the original, and they filled that extended length with padding, bad puzzles, long boring traversal and general filler.

    I played Resi 4 - 3 times just 2 months ago to prepare and be able to make a comparison. I'm now half way though my 2nd playthrough of the Remake and I'm sort of bored allready.

    Obviously no game is perfect, i could always complain about something, anything (that goes for any game btw). But i almost don't want to, it's just as close to perfection as modern remake could be. Dead Space Remake was solid, very good. But this one is next level compared to that one.

    To bring out some negatives, as a die hard RE4 fan, i was obviously disappointed that U-3 was cut. U-3 had very interesting design and fight was fun and scary and would have worked perfectly in this new remake. I'm not really sure why the cut it, but i'm hopeful that maybe they are holding it for dlc.

    BUT that didn't break the game for me at all, everything else was great, most boss fights were amazing and expanded content helped as well. Atmosphere was absolutely flawless on all three locations (village,castle,island). Voice acting (for the most part) was great. My biggest surprise was Ashley, she was perfect! I was never huge Ashley fan, in the original she was extremely annoying, but in the remake she almost felt like new character (in a good way). Leon's voice acting was solid, as expected. Overall script/dialogue was also nice, i especially liked moments between Leon and Ashley.

    At the end of the day, i don't even care if it wins any awards, all i can say is, that it's very good game and that's the most important thing. But when development team puts so much passion into a project like this, i think it should be rewarded.

Unfortunately the hype surrounding this game being good and very popular has meant that many reviewers are glossing over or simply not mentioning the numerous technical problems in every version of the game, whether its poor quality lo res textures, frame rate issues or the worst of the bunch, the awful controller deadzone issues present in the Series X version, which in my opinion makes the game almost unplayble. The fact that ther are so many 10 out 10, so called professsional reviews, shows how bad games journalism has become. Go and watch Digital Foundrys tech break down to get an accurate picture of what this game delivers. And in my opinion, avoid the Series X version completely until capcom has fixed the controller issues (which they have yet to even acknowledge!) Expand

It remains unknown whether Capcom will fix this. The game overall is a downgrade from the original. The voice acting is distinctly inferior, apparently because Capcom doesn't want to pay better quality actors the going rate. Leon is no longer charismatic, so his attempts at wisecracks fall flat because he doesn't have the personality to pull them off like the original voice actor did back in 2004. Ada is terrible, Sally Cahill gave Ada an incredible charm and sexiness which is completely missing in this remake. The graphics are grainy, dark and depressing unlike the original game which was often colourful and vibrant. Overall this is a major disappointment and the hype is unwarranted. Expand

    The remake is no doubt a successful hit that fixes the issues the original game had, however the original version of res 4 still remains as the highest rated res game, that won the most game awards, which is the main reason why the game is still renown, even as a remake.

    Resident Evil 4 Remake is an absolute delight. Veterans of the original will love the changes and newcomers can now appreciate just how good this game actually is. Capcom continues the trend of keeping the series fresh in our minds. I cannot wait for the next new entry as well as what remake they do next. Almost guaranteed we will see RE5 next, but Capcom please listen to your fans and give us that Code Veronica remake we so rightly desire. Regardless, fans of the series are eating so good right now.
