If the suspense doesn’t kill you, the amount of details in this video will.
The demo on the GameCube disc goes from the very start of the game, to the end of the village fight, basically from title screen to the bingo line. Which happens to be the exact same chunk of game as the RE4 Remake Chainsaw Demo that Capcom put out two weeks before the launch of RE4 Remake. So in a way Capcom remade the RE4 Demo too! Now this is Punching Weight, and you could watch another video about how the Remake compares to the original RE4, but Uncle Derek goes dumber around here and that’s not enough! I’m gonna walk you through the GC Demo, the Japanese only Biohazard 4 demo and the Remake Chainsaw Demo to see how they ALL compare to the original game! The Remake Demo shows just how far the series has come from the original release, and the GameCube demo shows how some of RE4’s iconic features, features that changed gaming forever, almost didn’t happen! You thought you knew everything about RE4? You thought wrong!

In this video, Derek takes a deep dive into the world of Resident Evil 4, comparing the recently released Chainsaw Demo for the upcoming RE4 Remake to the original Trial Version that was a pre-order bonus for the original Resident Evil 4. He explores the differences in graphics, gameplay mechanics, and enemy behavior between the two demos, highlighting the differences between them in terms of lighting, textures, and character models. He also uncovers some cut content and hidden secrets in the original trial version, and takes a look at the massive changes that take place in the Japanese Biohazard 4 demo.
Derek delves into some of the gameplay changes that were made between the demos and the final games, including the addition of a quick-turn and the removal of the tank controls. He also notes that even the inventory is different RE4 demos, with a grid system instead of the attache case. Throughout the video, Derek shares his thoughts and opinions on the various game quick looks, offering insights into how Capcom is updating the classic game for modern audiences.
With plenty of RE4 comparison footage, Biohazard 4 differences, and RE4 Remake details, Derek provides a comprehensive look at the game and what fans can expect from the new version. There's also plenty of secrets and tips to be shared!

Hope both your mom and launchpad are doing well Derek. Also, if she still reads the comments, Hi Derek's Mom!
Every once and a while, you see the rare wholesome comment about someone's mom on the internet. Bless
@@Absquatula your mom sees wholesome comments
@@Absquatula I made some wholesome comments with your mom last night, son.
If you put the classic soundtrack, you get the iconic “Resident Evil 4” voice when you hit start on the full game
Kinda shitty to lock such iconic voiceline behind a paid DLC.
16:03 Man, as a latino let me tell you, Leon trying to speak spanish is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in a Resident Evil game, especially the way he says "Policía"
His pronunciation is so bad it's unintelligible to me, a Spaniard. I can understand most American accents speaking Mexican Spanish just fine but this voice actor just does not have any idea what he's doing with the Spanish language.
@@lpnp9477I'm pretty sure you're not understanding that it must be intentional choice for Leon to speak/pronounce words that bad. And it's not the voice actor's decision.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he pronounced it super badly on purpose. Sounds like kinda an 'American thing to do'
Still better than the original just speaking English :)
Don’t forget how the remake finally hired native Spaniards to voice the enemies. No longer do we get enemies from Spain speaking in a combination of Mexican and broken Spanish!
Funny enough, he tries to say "Policia" in spanish but lands a pretty good "Polícia" in portuguese.
Funfact: A bunch of the assets from resident evil games since 7 up to now actually came from a online 3D photo scanned model library called Quixel Megascans. It's probably why you could see some trees resembling the ones from the house beneviento area of RE8.
That just makes sense, really. I can't imagine trying to make high quality assets at this scale by hand.
@@ZodiacEntertainment2 Thing is most people won't notice any way I sure as hell didn't.
@@TylerMBuller12 I only noticed the scans looking particularly bad in the secret village trash hole that houses the TMP, the other scanned things weren't very noticeable and worked well
It’s been kinda fun seeing all the little random reused assets between games. That big white liquid container with the red caps has been in every RE engine game I think.
Didn’t capcom get sued for it when village came out
Derek I love the idea of you grading this 20 year old demo and sending it back to Capcom with all your notes and a big C- in red on it
“Rated F for Fuckballs!” was my instant reaction…
ruclips.net/video/qF2snKCmqJo/видео.html
This felt like peak Derek, stopping skeletons from their belligerent tendencies while being infectiously passionate about the uniqueness of RE4 and its quirks!
Great video! Wanted to point out another huge difference with the remake I’m not surprised Derek, a non Spanish speaker, didn’t pick up on: in the new game the enemies FINALLY speak with a Spaniard accent! In the original game they all inexplicably had a Mexican accent of sorts (some didn’t even sound like native Spanish speakers). For us this is as bad as it’d be for English speakers if you’d play a game set in London but every NPC there spoke in an American accent. They clearly paid attention and took care of the details (also probably the game being mocked by Spanish speakers for 18 years might’ve had something to do with it).
Not in the remake though! They finally speak like Spaniards, in very naturally sounding dialogue, and clearly hired native Spanish speakers. At last!
The barrels were lit up in the original. The paint was an alternative to make sure the player could still tell which elements of the scenery are breakable without making them feel unnatural.
The barrels being brighter than their surroundings is a good example of a technical limitation being beneficial. Older consoles couldn't handle fully dynamic lighting for complex scenes, so they'd pre-render all the shadows for the world and save that as a separate texture map that gets placed over the normal material textures.
The problem with this method is that, because none of it is happening in real time, it doesn't work for dynamic objects. There was still a lighting system affecting them but it was a much simpler dynamic solution that gave really flat results. The result is any dynamic object like a breakable box will stand out among the scenery.
Capcom would have had to intentionally break how RE Engine handles lighting to get the same effect in the remake. They probably could have done that but everyone would just call it a bug and criticize them for shipping with "broken lighting." So instead we get paint.
It's almost as if it's a game and people need ways to tell what is beneficial. So many "realism fidelity" folks who wouldn't know art direction if it came and bit them in the face.
I've noticed boxes actually still feel like they glow a bit, but only sometimes and it doesn't happen with barrels, probably a coincidence, also, haven't they been doing this since like RE 7 or 2 remake? why are people only noticing now?
@@pigaboyAKAthecoolestguyonearth that's more a biproduct of how the lighting in these games interacts with textures. the base textures are really reflective and seem like they *emit* light. this was probably so they are easier to see amongst a scene, but gamers can be really inattentive and now we have paint everywhere.
@@PowerArmorV113
*So many "realism fidelity" folks who wouldn't know art direction if it came and bit them in the face.*
That's what I've been saying for years now, I see so many "realistic graphics" mods for games that look like absolute and utter garbage because there's no consideration for art direction whatsoever.
They just mess with exposure, add shittons of reflections and bloom, add high res textures to objects without considering how well it will fit the game's artstyle and call it "good graphics"
I've seen waaaaay too many "Ocarina of time in UE5/UE4" videos that look like absolute trash and people love them just because the creator added all of the bells and whistles that come with modern engines, but without trying to actually translate Ocarina of Time's graphics to modern day.
Realism isn't good graphics, in fact, many "realistic" looking games are just bland and boring as hell visually, it's always the artstyle that carries a game's visuals, that's why something like Minecraft will always look more unique and iconic than fucking Far Cry or somethin (not commenting on how good any of these games are tho.) because realism comes as an excuse to lack of inspired artstyle more often than not.
Since you mentioned Leon's inability to move, I remembered how this was changed in the VR version. In the original, the zombies run to you, but stop and start walking instead when they're in front of you, giving you some time to aim. In the VR version, you CAN move and shoot at the same time, so the zombies just run all the way to you; they don't stop to walk anymore.
Purchasing the deluxe edition of the game actually gives you an option to change several BGMs and sound effects into those of the original game. I've just completed the game for the first time and the title screen changes to the village, but all of it is 3D rendered, and I just turned on the original sound option when I completed it. Imagine my surprise booting up the game again and hearing the classic "RESIDENT EVIL 4" on top of the classic title screen, really hits me with nostalgia :)))
I do wish this option is not locked behind a paywall though :(
I have heard what you are going through and ouch! Hope mom and Launchpad get better soon! I'm glad the RE4 remake demo was an outlet for you when you needed it!
Speaking of, thank you for revealing the bingo line before this video! I sent it to a friend not knowing she was having a rough time and it helped cheer her up, as the bingo line is a huge favorite for her! Also a favorite of mine too! So thank you!
We need more one-liners! It helps people.
@@nottoday9182 They really do!
I have been avoiding spoilers for changes in the remake like a madman, being very selective of what videos to watch. That being said the fate of the dog was something I needed to know. Thank you Derek
If you're interested in something mildly interesting about RE demos, The Mercenaries 3D has a demo of Revelations for the 3DS that differs quite a bit from the Revelations demo found on the eshop. This one is also one of the few demos from the 3DS you'll be able to replay indifinetely, as long as you have a copy of Mercenaries 3D of course.
Been loving SSFF for years, this is such a great follow up to a video from 2 years ago, I remember seeing the re4 ports video and wondering about this disk
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@StopSkeletonsFromFighting omg, I'm so happy that you responded
This had made my day 😊
This was so great. I think I exclaimed "WHAT?" like 6 times. I never knew about the headshots and just assumed I was a bad shot until I got the shotgun.
I love all of this RE4 coverage because of the remake! Glad to have seen your cameo in the What Happened video!
It's really funny, I was watching Digital Foundry's timecapsule review of RE4 (and the horrendous PC port from 2007), and John was mentioning how there were major differences within the Gamecube demo of the game in terms of gameplay. And along comes Grunkle Derek to pull the demo disk out and show off what those differences actually are. I love it when things line up.
Kinda funny you point out Leon’s alleged Canadian inflection in the REmake 4 intro, since his voice actor, Nick Apostolides, is practically the only American on the voice cast.
I wonder if he sounds slightly Canadian because he grew up with RE2 and Paul Haddad's original performance? I'm sure I've heard that he based his Leon on his...?
15:11 - I was wondering why they changed Ashley's picture in the final game, but putting them side by side it's clear that the one shown in the demo has a less detailed model. Though I think the one seen in the demo looks like it has a more natural pose for the camera.
Hoping things continue to get better for you and your loved ones! Your always so cheerful and it does rub off on me whenever I watch your videos and helps me to have a better day.
I got a notification for this video while I was watching your video about the original RE4 demo, how crazy!
The whole idea of shooting through easily breakable scenery is a nice touch. Kinda reminds me of the helicopter boss fight from the first Soldier Of Fortune on PC. I thought that there was no way of taking it down while its gatling gun was turning me into swiss cheese. Then, it hit me: get the sniper rifle, take out the pilot and the gunner, don't even try to take out the helicopter itself. Ended that boss in about 30 seconds.
Oh man, seeing that dead dog in the beginning was a heartbreaking swerve...
But in the end, Huey is still a good boi. Best boi.
I was so worried about that dog in the Chainsaw Demo... I am glad they did not keep it like that in the final game. My sister started playing the remake before me and she made it a point to let me know the dog does indeed live in the actual game because she knew how distraught I was over the dead dog in the demo.
A its pixels and not a real animal.....B maybe that is why people shouldn't ASSume things, because the WOLF not dog is in a different location......C maybe people should stop getting distraught over pixels and not being able to "befriend, pet, touch etc." pixel animals, which places like woketaku felt the need to have their bloggers write entire articles about not being able to befriend pixels.
They also obviously didn't "change it' and it was just something in a demo, the game would have gone gold by the time the demo was released and you cannot just add, subtract or change things once a game has gone gold without going to certification again.
@@lutherheggs451 "how dare you be invested in story events in a work of fiction. I am superior because I experience all art with emotionless contempt"
Yeah dude shut up. If they're invested in the dog, then the game does it's job as art.
@@lutherheggs451 You wrote a whole paragraph about my opinion... my opinion on a fake animal in a fake video game... but yet you talk about what others should and shouldn't get distraught over... sounds like you got more distraught then anyone else.
Ok, that Resident Evil GBC soundbyte got me good. Great video man!
16:25 LOL this had me rolling! Hope all goes well for you man!
Awesome video as always! I was excited for the RE4 remake not only because of the game itself but also because I knew Uncle Derek would have some new good content for us! Side note...I love how the remake follows the original but also puts its own spin on things... keeps the game play really fresh for a game that's been ported to everything under the sun.
It’s incredible that how much you’ve analysed the differences of every demo of RE4. You truly are an awesome video game wizard.
You are my GO TO for RE4 content no question and I'd reeeeeaally love to see you do this for the whole game.
Love you Derek. I will still always throw on one of your videos when I’m having a bad day. Stay powerful
I watched your SH2 Prison level love letter video and loved it. BUT NOW YOU WENT AND GOT ALL BUFF AND HUGE DOOD. You look great man.
Nice video Derek.
Hope everyone is recovering well and you are doing alright.
We appreciate you mate!
the asset reuse is honestly really cool. you can tell a huge amount of re8's aesthetic and design is in active conservation with and calling back to re4. it means these assets don't feel out of place and if anything adds a bit to the new vibe of some areas.
i will say, certain sections do feel a little *too* re8. it is also annoying to have to relearn what drawer models are interact-able, since a lot of re7/8 stuff is downgraded to static scenery.
Watched this video playing the final version of RE4R, hope everything is going well with you and Grace, Derek, you're sucha cool guy and your videos indeed took me away from bad moments.
Sorry to hear that things have been tough. You are awesome Derek! One of my favorite memories was meeting you at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo years ago. You are a genuinely nice guy and I wish you the best.
It's starting to seem like the footage has been lost to the ether, but the RE4 trial version has a cool, dummied out function where you can enable slo-mo "F.E.A.R" style and the screen would be tinted slightly blue.
One of the surviving artifacts from the hookman version (until they removed it) , perhaps?
I like these "getting super nerdy" type videos. I can hear how passionate you are about these little details. It makes for a fun video!
Love these kinds of in depth videos about demos, beta's and prototypes 👍
8:40 I watch SSFF with my breakfast, and I hadn't laughed so loud in the morning in a while then when this flow began and that stinger got me. Thank you, Derek, for remembering.
Now this is top tier content. I love these types of videos that explore the finer details. Plus anything RE related grabs my attention instantly.
Love you guys over there. Keep on keeping on
Awesome video as usual. Loved that resident evil 1,2,3 start edit😂
Wishing you the best of luck and much love! I hope you all make it through this okay, I believe in y'all! Keep going strong Uncle Derek, and I'm hoping your mom and Launchpad are able to recover properly ^_^
The moment I booted up the Chainsaw Demo, I immediately thought about the Gamecube Demo. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! Great video, always love your Resident Evil content!
Be interesting to see you do a video on all the other Resident Evil demos. If anyone can make that an entertaining topic, Uncle Derek can!
Great Stuff, as always! Stay well!
uncle Derek talking about resident evil 4 is like asmr. it just soothes my mind.
Your Getting nerdy with it video on RE4 is my favorite from your channel! I love rewatching it from time to time so this kind of sequel to it is so nice to me! I decided to pass on RE4 Remake since I have the "original" on PS4 which I'm currently replaying on my PS5 and I don't want to soil my memories of the original with the remake but this is still super interesting! Also, although I am unaware of the details, I hope things get better for you in your personnal life soon
Thank you so much for making this while not playing the full version. I'm at work waiting to play. Because of you I have something to fill this resident evil 4 remake shaped void.
YES! The Ive been waiting for Uncle Dereks View of the RE4make!
i didnt know just how much more was in the remake i orrignally wasnt gonna pick it up simply cause i played resi 4 AND resi 4 VR fairly recently but seeing those slight differences has made me wishlist it thank you for the insight Derek!
Amazing work! I don't remember if this is accurate, but I think I've read that the Australian Resident Evil 4 GameCube demo had some differences as well, if that's true, I'd love to see an episode on that too.
Derek i have got to say your content is a gold mine i also love the videos you made about amazing gbc games
Hi there Derek & Grace, I was wondering about a PS2 game that was on a demo disc from back then. I think it may interest you guys. It uses the mic to control the character to do actions, although I heard it doesn't work so well. If I recall it was called Lifeline. Unfortunately I don't see many people talk about it, & it be really cool if maybe you check it out. I fear it may be a forgotten game. Other than that, keep up the amazing work on your videos, I always enjoy watching them. It was also a blast to see young Derek talk about old games too, that was a good video I recently watched.
Blessings to you and yours, Uncle Derek. Hang in there! Times get hard and they can hurt, and outlooks on things can suffer from those hard days, but there's always tomorrow. May you all get some peace after your bout with ER chaos
Great video, Derek! Loved the comparisons and wanted to comment that I too was disappointed by the bear trap part of the demo!
Great video UD!
I remember playing that RE4 gamecube demo many, many times. Alongside the old Armored Core demo on early PS1 discs, it's one of the most replayable and brilliantly constructed demos I've ever seen, alongside some others of note like MGS2, Xenogears, and Starcraft which each did something very neat or unexpected with their demos.
This feels like the best SSFF video on recent time. The jokes and editing is full of wholesome chuckles.
Amazing video!
Just you wait that I get the au/KDDI Biohazard 4 demo playable.
This is blowing my mind: in 2004 I lived in Japan, and a buddy of mine got that original RE4 demo. I specifically remember playing it with him and having an absolutely awful time to the point where we were laughing out loud over how bad the controls were and how it was impossible to hit anything. When the final game came out everyone was raving about it and I just assumed all those people were completely insane because that wasn't what I had played. It wasn't until Xbox 360 when I finally played it and realized it was a goddamn masterpiece.
I cannot stress how bad that initial GameCube demo was.
Something I only mentioned in my original video from 2012 is *because of this demo*, I canceled my preorder and didn’t pick up RE4 until after the PS2 version came out and the GC version dropped in price. But by the time the Wii version dropped I was all in and had all three versions by then
8:42 the ultimate highlight of this video. I love that comentator!
Please make a video comparing the entire re4 remake and the original I love how in depth you go with the details
Dude you are the most enthusiastic guy in gaming RUclips. Keep doing what you’re doing and I genuinely hope that your Mum and Dog are doing well. Keep doing what your doing.
Uncle Derek... When did you get this.... SWOLE
Aaaaay! It's Uncle D! Missed you bro. ♥️
I still watch that Preview Disc video every now and then. Still good stuff.
it's very cute and appropriate that this video is basically a remake of your 10 year old Getting Super Nerdy video on the RE4 demo. it's all coming full circle...
Hey Derek!~ I hope you are doing well. Hold on, we will get through this rough patch :)
Looks like we're Gettin' Super Nerdy...again!
sending love and good vibes to your family Derek
After that recent Did You Know Gaming? video on RE4, I hope that that EVEN EARLIER demo gets dumped and we all get to play it - complete with Mikami’s watch!
Wishing your mom and Launchpad the best!!
EDIT: Also, I have the PAL version of Code Veronica X with the Devil May Cry demo - sadly our demo disc is just PS2 blue with “DEVIL MAY CRY” in the standard font, no fancy art or anything.
"self-indulgent" videos from RUclipsrs are my favorite because you can tell that there's just passion driving them.
Have you tried RE4 VR on the Quest2? Recently played through that and it was absolutely amazing
As soon as the Chainsaw Demo came out, I was hoping Derek was going to make this video. And I am very happy
Thanks! I know it’s still a pretty long video but for me it was a pretty quick production
id just watched your beneviento house video so when i saw the trees in the RE4 remake i mentally did the leo dicaprio meme pointing at the tv
As someone who has worked on games, yes the game you play today often did not come together until the end. Its kind of like baking a cake but you are starting from growing the ingredients (at least back then it was). So the majority of the time you have nothing to eat, and the part where you put it in the oven to cook is a small amount of time compared to the whole project.
No joke,it's good too see sponsors in these videos now. Get ur muny boi!
I tapped the notification by accident while trying to do something else, but I ain't even mad.
What was you trying to do?
@@blacksunshine7485 Can't have been that important, I honestly don't remember.
You should do more videos for you. This was a fun watch. Hope everyone's ok now.
Thank you for backing RE4's controls! I have the same issue when people deride MGS 1,2 and 3's controls.
Uncle Derek is the best. I've been waiting for REmake 4 stuff.
Yo, Uncle Derek been working out? My man's biceps tryna Incredible Hulk their way through the sleeves, gat DAM
Wait, IGN said the original RE4 controls are bad? They really can't ever do anything right, can they?
Personally, I find them to be the best shooter controls I've ever experienced. Aiming with the left stick instead of awkwardly using the right stick like in other shooters just feels so perfect and gives you an exceptional degree of control that I've never seen from a shooter without mouse or gyro controls.
21:41 at the beginning of chapter 3 in the remake there is a dog trapped in a bear trap that plays the same special roll as the dog in the first game thankfully
A 30+ minute video about game demos. But wait! Not just game demos. Resident Evil game demos. But wait! Not just Resident Evil game demos, but game demos for the exact same game. What a time to be alive.
10:11
Finally! Some closure from the original Gettin' Super Nerdy! I've wondered about "get her out safe" vs "get her out safely" for close to ten years, and I can finally have some closure. 10/10
I'm looking forward to giving the game a go since I still have Game Cube Copy to Digital version of original on my Steam/PC and Nintendo Switch. Also favorite RE video from your content was Is it really that bad of Resident Evil Suvivor.
I don't even like horror games but I like you Derek. Your passion makes me interested!
Yay for a new video!
Damn, even got them trapezius going on, looking good! =)
Derek mah dude good to see you more often
Nice. I was just watching your video on all the Resident Evil 4 ports or should I call it 4 Resident Evil?
21:52 that's a wolf.
The punchline is that all these RE4 demos have less cut content than the Remake.
A video just focusing on the demos; god bless you, you beautiful bastard. ❤
@5:16 Jesus! The difference between the speedometers is like when I go the optometrist lol. “Better 1? Or 2?”
~ five seconds into the video
JEEZUS, Derek! Them arms are YOKE'D!
I just started and am loving it so far!
Uncle Derek is like the Andrew WK of Gaming Bros. Always ready to party and keep it real.
This is the highest compliment, I’ve been a huge fan of Andrew wk since the beginning
I had that Famitsu demo back then. I imported the magazine when it released cos we weren't getting RE4 in the UK for a while. Must have played through it 30 odd times.
Uncle Derek looking good! Keep it up, dude! You got this!
