      Hence why 90% of Reddit hate him when he's brought in the conversation: either you're too extreme or not following conventions, and with the latter, it's usually a good thing. I mean, even Mauler feels threatened enough to attack the guy for taking the "reviewer with long, detailed anti-mainstream thinking" spot.
      While sometimes I feel like he's overreaching, he's not wrong on almost every things he points out. He helped me broaden my perspective on certain games on almost every of his videos. It's still his own review and opinion, but at least it's not preaching blindly because it's a franchise he loves or mainstream expectations of "good", which is a low bar these days.
      And he's not taking any shit with woke stuff so that's already 10/10 in my book.

    Ashley is never as bad as everyone says she is. Besides her solo part she stayed out of my way the whole time. I never get why people made such a big deal out of her. The regenerators too. People made them out to be the scariest things alive but you can easily kill them all. Also some areas drag on a bit like the island area

      100 percent agree I'd even say her solo section isn't anything, as all the enemies can be easily outmaneuvered. The rest of the game she can be either put in a dumpster, is kidnapped or can be put on wait as you fight off enemies....WITH EXCEPTION to two sections in the game being the water hall and the wrecking ball rooms those two rooms are the bane of my existence but I mean come on in a 20 hour game, 20 minutes of annoyance does not equal OMG worst character ever I really dont get all the hate.

      Regenerators can be killed easily but still their design is quite creepy, along with the sounds they make. It just catch you off guard after a lot of the previous parts of the game that were kind of a walk in the park. You just don't expect them to show up, especially on Island.

    The shills and consoomers are gonna be out for your head on this one. But I agree. RE4 didn't need a Remake, the Remake sacrificed style for realism. The character designs and voice acting are a huge downgrade in the Remake. Krauser and Merchant sound awful. The OG dialogue was goofy fun, the new stuff feels like Netflix, tries too hard to be serious. Don't get me started on how much better faces looked in the original.

      But RE4 wasnt a serious games and making it serious and so netflix-y just gonna make this game unfitting and very weird to have it.

      This is why it always annoyed me when the fans frothed at the mouth when it deviated from horror sometimes. I dare say I didn’t even think the originals were all that scary. They never needed to be it was always about fun and characterization more so than getting people scared, people who just wanted to pee. Their pants could have just went to silent hill . A thing a lot of people don’t seem to remember is that resident evil four was pretty hated when it first came out for this reason, I wonder if those people to this day are feeling like morons as more and more people feel the game was a masterpiece that was ahead of its time.

    Why I think RE4 works so well is because it has perfect pacing. There isn't a section in this game that is dull or too frustrating. Pretty much ever other videogame that I know has those sections. Of course that doesn't make it my favorite game in the series, it used to be so until I played the RE1 and 2 remakes which I started to like better because I that's the gameplay style that I want from Resident Evil.

    I hate what they did with cinematography in the re4 remake, not only they do take the story more seriously and it doesn't works, but also they ruined the original 80s action movie script and replaced it with a mediocre voice acting lacking charisma in every way possible; somehow, despite having better graphics, they made everything more claustrophobic and less iconic in composition and visual design, and the camera is obnoxiously close to the player like every goddamn sony-movie game. Yet people call this remake a "masterpiece" that's better than the original.

      It doesn't take a genius to figure out how cluttered the level design is, that the voice acting is a downgrade for every character in the game and the script, and camera angles and anything related to cinematic presentation, is amateurish in visual composition and direction.
      Its pretty common that modern gaming doesn't understand what visual clarity is, and with that said, no wonder why many people gets lost when comes to what direction to take in the levels (despite being really simple like in the original game). Also the over textured environment and zoomed-in camera makes every damn bear trap blend and really hard to see. The original game didn't had those issues; even the Re 2 Remake had this principle of 'clarity' really fleshed out.

    It definitely didn’t need to be remade, but at the same time it’s not even the same game.

I really enjoyed my time with the remake, and even if you don’t like it, you have to admit there is quality behind it.

      Remake is a masterpiece of its own. Sure, it lost a lot of charm from the original since the remake is a more serious game but still I really liked how they made certain levels more entertaining and cohesive, the level design is top notch and Island doesn't drag so much like in the OG, where there's just too much going on. There is only one problem with the remake for me, it tried to be TOO serious while RE4 was always praised for its campiness. Salazar is no longer as funny as he was in the OG, he's quite forgettable to be honest because not only he doesn't show up as often, his interactions with Leon aren't as comedic as they used to be. Making him a more serious villain unfortunately took away everything that he was known and liked for. Saddler also is a huge downgrade, we meet him in person only on the Island and he's now very generic bad, religious guy. He hasn't got this mystical aura about him and his face seems kinda generic too, his old look was much more memorable. Yeah, the remake is great but it's also an example that sometimes giving a game more serious tone doesn't really work with certain aspects of it.

    Ashley is actually a good addition to RE4 because it makes you go out of your powerhouse zone and look after someone else, not only continuing RE tradition with companions but also biting your empathy, especially if you're a guy (not simping, just basic protection skills lol). Gameplay wise she works perfectly even without dumpsters, making you watch your back and be alert. I'm surprised you think it's a bad addition to the game, since it really does add a new situation for you to play through, and not a bad one at all if you think about it.

He even trashed the goofiness despite the fact that it's meant to be a dumb B movie and the campiness is what gives Resident Evil its charm. And of course, like most modern game reviewers, he mocked fans that criticized the female designs and not being able to look up Ashley's skirt; it's like he's becoming another Angry Joe.

      Finding trustworthy one-man-show RUclipsrs, that get review codes, is hard, if they exist. Unlike a website which has separate departments, a solo RUclipsr -the person reviewing the game- is the same one that has to play buddy-buddy with PR to get early copies in the first place. There’s an obvious conflict of interest, which is why “access journalism” is an oxymoron. There’s a threat of accidentally biting the hand that feeds you.
      So these big RUclips reviewers are much more likely to downplay criticisms or that issues are “personal, but won’t affect other people”. They don’t want to pi$$ off those companies (or the people in charge of hanging out review copies, which could partly be why some reviewers are more political, because the people in charge of review codes are). And because they only make reviews, and nothing else, if they don’t get early access, no one will watch them.
      Their “audience” isn’t really there for the RUclipsr. It’s just that RUclipsrs are more personable than watching an IGN or GameSpot review, but most RUclips early access reviewers are more or less interchangeable still. So if these RUclipsrs were a week or even a few days late with a review, most people would skip because they only watched them for early access, and already watched someone else by that point. So the largest RUclips review channels will also have the softest reviews, because they only got so big by getting early access. Not because they grew organically from people wanting to hear their opinion.

    Only part of the game she can be unbearable is the water room in the beginning of the castle, where the shield guys will kill her with no attempt to just pick her up.
    Her only purpose is just to have more convenient sequences that wouldn’t make sense if you were by yourself.

      When it comes to Ashley I have had no issue in the remake. The one time I felt she was annoying (and I’m trying to avoid spoilers here for those that haven’t played the remake yet) I didn’t realize that I could keep her from getting caught or hit by just trying a different strategy. I actually like the new lines of dialogue her and Leon have adding a bit more to her personality. I did end of shooting her once though I was using the pistol that shot through the ganado that was carrying her (sorry drawing a brain fart on the exact pistol and immediately realized it lol. I do understand some things were cut here and it’s not as campy as the og release but I’m enjoying it for what it is. Honestly I like the changes as more grounded tone of the remake. Without it being a 1-1 remake it leaves reason to still go play the og release for those few cuts and campy tone. I can’t say I like the remake more than the og because the og version is special to me for nostalgic reasons but I am glad the remake was made for a new generation and hopefully some who may not have played the og version will go give it a chances to see the differences many have talked about but I’m loving taking my time with the remake. A lot of the changes and tweaks and new sections have me on my toes with the tension just like the og version. Both the og and the remake deserve a place today in my opinion and maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I wouldn’t mind seeing an re5 remake with this treatment if capcom decides to. The remake may not ever be considered as good as the og but to me re4 from 2005 is lightning in a bottle that can’t be replicated but the remake here comes as close as you can get in my opinion and as far as remakes one of the best remakes of an older game I have ever played.

    I was cautiously optimistic about the remake before I played the demo, but came away unsatisfied. On the surface it seems like a fairly faithful remake but there are lots of little things that felt off to me. The aesthetic is overly grimdark, I don't like the character designs, and every environment is cluttered with pointless detail, necessitating the obnoxious yellow tape over everything you can interact with. The intro is slowed down, the first enemy encounter is a cutscene and not gameplay. Making the knife breakable was a stupid change. The guns don't feel as good to use as in the original and Leon controls like he's in a swimming pool; yes the original had clunky controls but nothing like this. I also experienced bad performance on my PS4 and technically the game is quite ugly, with blurry textures and enemies flickering when more than a few feet away.

    No it did not need a remake and the remake won't replace it. On the other hand I don't mind them, they're like crazy experiments that help keep my interest in the survival horror genre. I'm sure I'll be annoyed at some of the changes but if they don't sour my enjoyment then the game will be good. Not like Twin Snakes.🤢 Also if we get an option to keep that sweet, sweet jacket I'll be happy. 😁

    Modern AAA/AA studios don't realize that we don't always want full remakes of classic games. Graphical facelifts are what we truly want, because remaking a PS2 title on a modern engine won't give it the same feel.
    For example, I would love a graphical facelift of Burnout 3 and Hot Pursuit 2, but I know that those games are so old that they would HAVE to be remade on a newer engine, but A) I don't trust EA to tie their own shoe muchtheless make a working video game, and B) like I said modern engines can't recapture the feel of older engines.
    The time to remaster classic PS2 game was in that 7th generation lineup. But now the time has passed and game studios are doing everything they can to hop back on the trend, but each "remake" flops like never before seen.
    But that's just the core problems. I could go on for hours about how the useless censorship and forceful Wokeism are the icing on the cake that ruin the whole experience, but you all know the gist. Blah blah subversive Marxism blah blah Yuri Bezmenov, etc etc.
    I just want good games again, man.

      Feel like this with the remake of FF7. A massive part of the appeal of the OG game were the amazing pre-rendered backdrops and the remake doesn't have them. The remake is hardly ugly (except in a few obvious places) but it fails to capture the same magic the original had. I would have preferred the remake just update the game into HD with widescreen support, with maybe new character models and a few QOL changes, not the subversive fever dream that actually came out.

      @xid I put the blame for the changes solely on Nomura. He openly said he makes decisions based on how surprising they are, not how much they make sense or how good the surprises actually are.
