RE4 remake is the most fun I’ve had playing a game in recent memory, maybe ever. One of the most well directed and paced games ever. An absolute masterpiece
Its not a masterpiece lol. Capcom hasn't released a masterpiece in nearly 2 generations now. This is coming from a RE die hard. They removed so much without thinking how it would tip the Jenga tower. Blood and gore but no recognizable outfits. Why is this a trend with their games?
Yup. Only thing I have left to complete is a few gallery challenges before I complete everything. I almost don't want to finish it because that means I'm done with it. It was a wild 155 hour ride for me.
that gained 110 LBS and walks with a oxygen tank. somehow taking a uncomplicated game with good gunplay and action sets was made into a long beaten horse of an experience.
The knife durability thing may be controversial, but I actually much prefer it. It was a great way to shake up veterans and force them to not rely on it so much. Yet, the great thing is that the knife still ends up being one of the most frequently used and important weapons in your arsenal! As much as I like how Silent Hill let's you Melee enemies to death even if you deplete your ammo, which does make things easier, I actually prefer the trouble you can find yourself in within the Resident Evil games should you run out. Yeah, there's always been the knife even in the class games, but it's never been as easy to use as Silent Hill's melee weapons. With RE4 REmake, they made it possible to run out of both ammo and have no knife at your disposal! Granted, the player should NEVER allow this to happen...but it still can. I think that sort of penalty is very much in the spirit of survival horror. You wanna play this game like you're playing Doom? Let's see how you do when your only option is to run and hide!
agreed. while the knife durability thing threw me off in RE2R (because i was scared at the beginning and wanted an infinite knife lol), i think it really worked for RE4R. it wasn't too OP (unless you made it that way), or you unlocked the primal knife. and i definitely took advantage of every knife i found, whether that was to parry/stealth kill/melee or to craft bolts.
Resident Evil 4 is for all times... simply one of the greatest games ever (both original and remake). I have played & finish the original over 50 times, while having done so for the remake around 16 times... both on PC.
Not only is the remake great, but they also changed some things that add to the experience. One of my favorites is changing the old cheese spots from the original so you can’t use them anymore, sadistic but very funny
@@KennyMaximumThey mean the way they actively sabotage old cheese spots to punish players that try to use them like the floor collapsing when you climb up the ladder in the village, or the way the ogre can rip the roofs off of the sheds and chuck them at you.
@@mcanning1087true but also if dont move at the top of the tower in the village you can still aim down and shoot them off the ladder and the floor wont break lol
@mcanning1087 I could swear if you camped at the top of the tower in the original, the villagers started chucking molotovs at you. Also the gigante broke the sheds in the original if you tried hiding in them as well (though he couldn't throw them)
Too 3 things I adored in the remake: 1: They made a reference to the striker glitch and made it a charm that gives you faster speed!. 2:I was genuinely scared in some moments especially during the island, because, well everyone should know why it’s so terrifying. 3: *”Now that’s a Knife!.”*
We do not. And we don't need a remake of RE5 either, or even a remake of the remake of RE1. I'm so tired of this recent trend of people clamoring for remakes. Ask for new games ffs
Just like the original, this game is my favorite in the whole series and is without a doubt my favorite remake so far. I think it's truly groundbreaking for the series. The writing, motion capture, cinematography, and attention to detail is the best I've seen in any Resident Evil game.
The best thing about the remake is that it doesn’t invalidate the original. I have things I prefer in one over the other but they complement each other so well that but only can I not pick a favorite, but I can easily see myself returning to both equally as much
One of the most fun games I’ve ever played. Just wrapped up 100%ing the new DLC, I think I’m at 128 hours. This, and the original RE4 are some of the few games I’ve ever felt motivated to complete totally. What a pleasure it has been.
1:55-2:04 yippie ki yay to Salazar, Saddler, Krauser, and everyone and everything in the village, castle, and island. Absolutely love that part. That was just perfect.
Awesome timing for this coming out today... i literally finished the final in-game challenge this afternoon 😂 (it was the perfect game at the shooting range - i am terrible at precise shooting with a controller) I'm stoked to watch this - but I already agree, based on the title! I loved this game 😊
Within a week of remake’s release I 100% the achievements and in game challenge list. And I still play it. I’m itching for separate ways. Parts of original I liked better and parts of remake I liked better. That’s the beauty of it, we have both. 2 masterpieces.
This game definitely lived up to the hype. The same great, story and humor with a self aware, B-movie edge that I love, and the controls have been improved dramatically. And I love all the little things they added to seperate it from the original. I do miss the Giant Robot Ramon fight and the few lines they cut out, but it's definitely an improvement overall.
controls have been improved dramatically???? the game tries to have a "realism" feel so the controls are way less responsive compare to the original that it was immediate.
@@rafresendenrafresenden.1644 Yeah, they have been improved considerably. There's a reason they made the enemies far more aggressive because it would be too easy if they acted identical to the original.
Was stoked to be a part of this game and burned through the platinum in a couple weeks. My goal was to get it before the cast livestream but was happy to learn that the opening title screen switched to the village after a first time through. 🤘😎🤘
Yooo this game is incredible! I’m in the middle of doing my S+ Professional run and it is toughhh! But i’ve got like 88/101 challenges done so far 💪 *Update: Got all the achievements and am now doing the separate ways achievements!
This game is absolutley my game of the year, and i dont think anything will change that. It just feels like an instant classic, and so much damn fun to play. I have no faith in it actually winning GOTY but in my opinion, its the best this year, and deserves all the recognition its getting.
Jirard: "Maybe I'm getting worse at videogames" Also Jirard: goes onto to describe how to do the most difficulty things in the game while showing off footage of him doing it
I'm still a real big fan of this new format of opening with all the completion/achievement counts and your rating. It really sets up how grueling an experience the game might've been.
I'm so glad this game came out the way it did. It nailed everything the original did, but cranked it up to 11. I was super happy that Luis had more screen time and that Ashley isn't a whiny college kid like she is in the original. This year has had a lot of good stuff, but this is definitely my top favorite so far.
hold the phone.. hold the phone... ur telling me after all that grinding the ada dress is NOT in the game.. so it really has been completely yeeted? Dude that is unacceptable. i have a mini poster of that outfit in storage somewhere. why did they cut it?? I thought they did like a Dead or Alive 6 and made you grind for weeks if not months to unlock it since it may be considered a bit riskay. ngl, not cool capcom.
I watched a friend play the original and thought it was good. The Remake is the first time I actually played it and I 100%understand why it's considered one of the best games of all time. I've only in the last 2 years been getting into RE but I've finished almost all the main ones and a couple side games. What a journey.
Perhaps my expectations were high but this game was a drawn out boring affair. You can clearly see where they attempted effort but the game itself was over-hyped and under delivered. It also seems like they don't really understand or what they want to do with the game series. Either its too dark and paint by numbers with its story or gameplay or its just dry. It felt a good deal like RE8: busy work and not the zaniness that was the OG game was known for. They couldn't even get Ada Wong right (proving all those unisex guidelines true they follow). But ty for showing how its done.
L take from someone who just wants to be hardheaded on a remake like every other remake, there is always those people. Yes, the game wasnt an exact 1 to 1 copy of everything. But man was it amazingly fun and really well made. Not everything is in it and it does suck but its still really good. Only thing I missed from the original is "Where is the satisfying sound of one's impalement?" Other than that, extremely happy with everything.
You can really tell what completing games have done to our old pal Jirard over the years... man i hope you keep your health in check... especially your mental one... its so draining and.... man i just hate it. Wish ya the best man. Love you.
Its not that rough, the game is built for replayability, so just play it on lower difficulties and just up it on each new playthrough, once u understand the combat flow and strategies to get through areas quicker the game becomes a whole new level of fun
@@PIMPSTA951it's his own personal ranking. If it feels enjoyable for him to complete then he's gonna give it a complete it rank. At the end of the day this is just Jirard's opinion and not the objective measure of a game's completion quality.
@@SamsarasArt i think he enjoyed the first couple playthroughs but to play it 12 times and say you will never play it again means it was a chore. So games that a chore should not be completed
@@SamsarasArt i would like to think maybe he recommended completing the game (despite how he feels right now after finishing it) the same way someone talks about climbing mount everest, or describe going through bootcamp in the military: its tiring, challenging, and feels like its forever in the moment, and they'd *probably* never do it again. However, they still find value in doing those things, and they got something out of it at the end, and would recommend others to experience the same thing for themselves.
@@PIMPSTA951or they should be completed, just not consecutively. You gotta assume that he had to do each challenge in a row throughout a multitude of days at least, because it’s currently his job. So saying that he still believes it should be completed doesn’t mean “complete it all as fast as possible.” If you’re going to do that, it’s likely to give you an RE4 overdose that makes you not want to see it for a long time.
11:35 on my first playthrough i went to camp at the tower in the village and screamed the most girly scream ever when the floor collapsed. Felt like a gotcha moment from Capcom and i totally loved it.
Hey Jirard, loved the vid. Just wanted to throw out a tiny reminder. The menu screen change isn't just another unlockable, it's a nostalgic easter egg referencing the og, which also used a panning shot of the village as a menu screen that you unlock after beating the game once.
This remake was amazing, so fun to speedrun. I like the changes they did with Ashley, she really feels like a terrified young woman in a scary situation.
Just hearing 'Never speaking to the merchant' makes me feel unwell. I loved this game so much. It was like a huge cherry on top of a sundae I've been eating for over a decade. Bought the original RE4 for PS2, 360, PC, PS4, & SWTICH.
I 100% completed RE4R in about 68 hours and then put another 30 in because I couldn't put it down. I haven't gone back for mercenaries yet though, it having no new rewards or achievements means I'm saving it for a lull in new releases which hasn't happened yet. You can't currently achieve 100% achievements on Steam at the moment because Capcom has added placeholder achievements for future content. I'm very excited for more.
Hope you like thrill rides! Also I loved every second of this game if we ignore the whole harpoon section without missing 🫠 for some reason Leon would just hardly throw or absolutely chuck it way too far at what felt to be random
I think the best thing about RE4 Remake that nobody else has mentioned is its position as an amazing third-person, over-the-shoulder shooter that feels so natural to play, in 2023. We haven't gotten something like this since arguably MGSV in 2015 or Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy in 2016/2017.
RE4 remake attempted to appear wide as an ocean but was deep as a puddle. Wasted opportunity of a entry. They really need to stop focusing on remaking games and continue the franchise. Re4 was always insane, now its overly tame, dour and outright censored. Did they forget all the teenagers that brought the game or played as a kid are now adults working 9-5s?
@@ReizokoRyu ? You realize they removed that out of the game for later editions like a year after the original came out on the Gamecube right? That wasn't a thing since that doomed console. If they need low tier salesmen like you folks, well. That says alot about how well it really did. Lets see if i'm wrong by you not down voting comments to make them vanish lol.
was fun-ISH with a heavy handed *I S H* but it was overblown. they did remove things that they shouldn't have. The big statue is gone, Ada's dress is gone and I really didn't like what happened with Ashley. She looks like a 34 year old divorcee not a college freshman.
@@MicaiahBaron thats what you always say my good non English speaking salesmen - like the only trick in your bag. when you say "masterpiece" over a dozen times for this game, comments vanish and you get uppity when you dont get your way its a bit of a hallmark. How many accounts did you lose after practically do**ing&spamming whats his name video after he flipped on you? Crowbat? Microwbat? Changed the title and reported several of the logs? I wouldn't want your job.
@@rafresendenrafresenden.1644I hope they never remake that classic remake again. It's already perfect, and that mansion wouldn't work with OTS perspective.
i wanted to like re4 remake, but between them donating Ada's dress, Mecha salazar, and ashley and leon's personalities, i can't say it hold's a candle to the original. i'd bet 650K on it.
@@gunnyhighway4422 not every way. The original has more satisfying gunplay due to the weapons feeling more powerful + enemy feedback + laser sight for all weapons + more precise aiming. Even with tank controls, Leon in the original was more comfortable to control due to how snappy and responsive he was, in the remake he feels heavy and clumsy to control due to the “realistic” animations. The remake improved some aspects but it also created problems that didn’t exist in the original. On higher difficulties, the staggering is inconsistent and a lot of times it takes forever to stagger an enemy. Some would argue that it makes the game more challenging, but I would argue that it makes the game dull and annoying. There’s also a higher chance to get stun-locked in the remake (in the original, it was rare to get stun-locked except for a very few boss attacks). Lack of invincibility frames, imprecise aiming, enemies grabbing you every two seconds, combined with Leon’s clumsy movement and him getting staggered by anything just makes the game not fun to play on higher difficulties IMO. I also think Ashley’s Ai was better in the original because you can tell her to wait in a spot and she sticks to your back like a glue. Her character is better in the remake, but her Ai is worse. Then there’s the other stuff like the art direction, sound design, cutscenes, voice acting of some of the characters, etc. I prefer the original when it comes to these aspects. The remake is great but it doesn’t replace the original, both games have their strengths and weaknesses and excel in different areas.
@@gunnyhighway4422 Chill. It's a matter of personal preference. Nothing wrong with it. I have more of an issue with the people who are blinded by nostalgia to the point where they can't acknowledge the fact that the remake is still a fantastic game even if they prefer the original, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
The game was empty and quite disappointing. Its a bit of a red flag when you need to see 'best yet' and 'masterpiece' every video where the game is mentioned. Fun? Sure slamming rocks together can be fun. "Best thing ever since Jesus Christ walking on water"? Pffft lol. SMH.
ah yes, that video where he edited the audio to make the remake seem like it's pratically mute while the original feels like you are hearing the best quality a game from the gamecube/ps2 era could ever have? yeah i saw that one aswell, it's also pretty great how he made one of the negatives points the fact that ashley doesn't react if you try to look at her panties ( and that's actually incorrect, she does in fact reacts if you try to look, so even that stupid comparion is false information, like the whole video). But hey, big youtuber said game bad so that's my opinion now.
@@lucasfranca2041 The watered down cutscenes. The lack of personality between character encounters. No Aida story upon release (still yet to see if there will be). Castle flamethrower section completely cut. RE4 REMAKE had some things going for it but definitely pulled on the heartstrings of many, including myself.
@@AlexanderMartinez-kr3ndWatered down cutscenes? Nah...the cutscenes just weren't directed as great as the original. That's not a big deal. The characters were just as bad and good as the characters in the original. Separate Ways is coming Sept 21 so you're wrong there. Castle flamethrower? That was corny. Especially the lava rooms. That didn't even make any sense. Why was there lava inside of a castle?
RE4 remake is the most fun I’ve had playing a game in recent memory, maybe ever. One of the most well directed and paced games ever. An absolute masterpiece

@@yobro6053Agreed 100% the parry is a game changer.
After 100 hours I've gotten everything to complete the game. And I want to do it all over again

Yeah I want what you're smoking.. must be some good shit. L take Indeed.
They absolutely did attempt effort.
@@stevenrodan5160 Debatable.
It's their best game yet.
One of the best remakes
You can really tell what completing games have done to our old pal Jirard over the years... man i hope you keep your health in check... especially your mental one... its so draining and.... man i just hate it. Wish ya the best man. Love you.
I can't wait to play this remake but i'm scared of the difficulty
Its not that rough, the game is built for replayability, so just play it on lower difficulties and just up it on each new playthrough, once u understand the combat flow and strategies to get through areas quicker the game becomes a whole new level of fun
there's assisted mode and that is very easy.
Lol what? It's a really easy game why are you scared of the difficulty?
@@adamgriffin1860actually the game saus that hardcore is for those who played the original and I found it a nice difficulty
@@adamgriffin1860 it might hsve a learning curve, but one ypu get used to it snd that attacks are dangerous lol, you get a pretty Nice experience
Jirard: I Never Want to touch this game again, Respectfully
Also Jirard: I still recommend to complete it
😂😂😂
Love it bro, great video
This guy became a joke with his ratings. He bases the game of if he likes the game and not the utter BS you have to go through to complete it
@@PIMPSTA951it's his own personal ranking. If it feels enjoyable for him to complete then he's gonna give it a complete it rank. At the end of the day this is just Jirard's opinion and not the objective measure of a game's completion quality.
@@SamsarasArt i think he enjoyed the first couple playthroughs but to play it 12 times and say you will never play it again means it was a chore. So games that a chore should not be completed
@@SamsarasArt i would like to think maybe he recommended completing the game (despite how he feels right now after finishing it) the same way someone talks about climbing mount everest, or describe going through bootcamp in the military: its tiring, challenging, and feels like its forever in the moment, and they'd *probably* never do it again. However, they still find value in doing those things, and they got something out of it at the end, and would recommend others to experience the same thing for themselves.
@@PIMPSTA951or they should be completed, just not consecutively. You gotta assume that he had to do each challenge in a row throughout a multitude of days at least, because it’s currently his job. So saying that he still believes it should be completed doesn’t mean “complete it all as fast as possible.” If you’re going to do that, it’s likely to give you an RE4 overdose that makes you not want to see it for a long time.
A very fun game. Resident Evil 4 Remake really delivers
Really loving these double-meaning section titles.
Might just be one of the best remakes period
11:35 on my first playthrough i went to camp at the tower in the village and screamed the most girly scream ever when the floor collapsed. Felt like a gotcha moment from Capcom and i totally loved it.
Hey Jirard, loved the vid. Just wanted to throw out a tiny reminder. The menu screen change isn't just another unlockable, it's a nostalgic easter egg referencing the og, which also used a panning shot of the village as a menu screen that you unlock after beating the game once.
This remake was amazing, so fun to speedrun. I like the changes they did with Ashley, she really feels like a terrified young woman in a scary situation.
Hmm, I rate it the second best remake - the first belongs to the first REmake.
Nah, re4 the best
@@bubba418Nah, RE1 Remake.
I still love that intro.
The Thumbnail is SO busy, I was surprised it was yours!
Would love to see the two Outbreak games getting remade like this.
I’ve been waiting for this exact video since it came out and I played it to death! Wasn’t disappointed!
Just hearing 'Never speaking to the merchant' makes me feel unwell. I loved this game so much. It was like a huge cherry on top of a sundae I've been eating for over a decade. Bought the original RE4 for PS2, 360, PC, PS4, & SWTICH.
27:25
I think that’s the first Relient k reference I’ve heard on the internet I’ve heard in five scores seven years. My man!
It's an outstanding remake of a perfect game. Be it 0, Veronica or 5, I am excited to see what RE title is elevated next.
I never got into RE over the years, but the HD remakes got me hooked!
I’m excited if they remake RE5 cannot wait to see wesker again yelling CHRISSSSS!!! Or my all time favourite boulder punching Chris 👊🏻
I 100% completed RE4R in about 68 hours and then put another 30 in because I couldn't put it down. I haven't gone back for mercenaries yet though, it having no new rewards or achievements means I'm saving it for a lull in new releases which hasn't happened yet.
You can't currently achieve 100% achievements on Steam at the moment because Capcom has added placeholder achievements for future content. I'm very excited for more.
Hope you like thrill rides!
Also I loved every second of this game if we ignore the whole harpoon section without missing 🫠 for some reason Leon would just hardly throw or absolutely chuck it way too far at what felt to be random
Ya, that challenge was unpleasant. Took me 3 days of on-and-off playing to get that challenge 😅
Del Lago challenge was the worst... the shooting/aiming is wonky, and the "miss" detection is weird. I spent hours on that one 😒
Game’s incredible. Now we need that separate ways!!
I think the best thing about RE4 Remake that nobody else has mentioned is its position as an amazing third-person, over-the-shoulder shooter that feels so natural to play, in 2023. We haven't gotten something like this since arguably MGSV in 2015 or Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy in 2016/2017.
Krauser looks like Jake Busey. Gary Busey's son lol. Once you see it you will never be able to unsee it!
RE4 remake attempted to appear wide as an ocean but was deep as a puddle. Wasted opportunity of a entry. They really need to stop focusing on remaking games and continue the franchise. Re4 was always insane, now its overly tame, dour and outright censored. Did they forget all the teenagers that brought the game or played as a kid are now adults working 9-5s?
Someone's mad about the removal of upskirts 😂🤡
@@ReizokoRyu ? You realize they removed that out of the game for later editions like a year after the original came out on the Gamecube right? That wasn't a thing since that doomed console. If they need low tier salesmen like you folks, well. That says alot about how well it really did. Lets see if i'm wrong by you not down voting comments to make them vanish lol.
was fun-ISH with a heavy handed *I S H* but it was overblown. they did remove things that they shouldn't have. The big statue is gone, Ada's dress is gone and I really didn't like what happened with Ashley. She looks like a 34 year old divorcee not a college freshman.
I know it's overrated as a saying, but definitely deserved here: "Touch grass."
@@MicaiahBaron thats what you always say my good non English speaking salesmen - like the only trick in your bag. when you say "masterpiece" over a dozen times for this game, comments vanish and you get uppity when you dont get your way its a bit of a hallmark. How many accounts did you lose after practically do**ing&spamming whats his name video after he flipped on you? Crowbat? Microwbat? Changed the title and reported several of the logs? I wouldn't want your job.
Kinda been wanting to play this game again, think I will now. Thanks Completionist for the idea 💡😂
we didn't need a RE4 remake, but boy an i happy that we have
A must buy if I ever get a ps5
It's not exclusively on PS5.
the best capcom remake would be Residente Evil 1
Uhhh, yeah they did it already.
@@badacid7388 you and me Know Capcom the new Resident Evil 1 remake is coming probably after 5.
@@rafresendenrafresenden.1644I hope they never remake that classic remake again. It's already perfect, and that mansion wouldn't work with OTS perspective.
Can you make a video on how you go through games to make sure you've collected everything? Especially open worlds like TotK!
Just got my resi 4 platinum last night then this is on the feed, how is this my first time coming across this dude
i wanted to like re4 remake, but between them donating Ada's dress, Mecha salazar, and ashley and leon's personalities, i can't say it hold's a candle to the original. i'd bet 650K on it.
Loved this game. Definitely one of my games of the year
Fantastic job with this remake but I still perfer the original.
Remake is better than the original in every single way how can you prefer it
@gunnyhighway4422 I like writing, humor, and the overall tone of the original better.
@@gunnyhighway4422 not every way. The original has more satisfying gunplay due to the weapons feeling more powerful + enemy feedback + laser sight for all weapons + more precise aiming. Even with tank controls, Leon in the original was more comfortable to control due to how snappy and responsive he was, in the remake he feels heavy and clumsy to control due to the “realistic” animations.
The remake improved some aspects but it also created problems that didn’t exist in the original. On higher difficulties, the staggering is inconsistent and a lot of times it takes forever to stagger an enemy. Some would argue that it makes the game more challenging, but I would argue that it makes the game dull and annoying. There’s also a higher chance to get stun-locked in the remake (in the original, it was rare to get stun-locked except for a very few boss attacks). Lack of invincibility frames, imprecise aiming, enemies grabbing you every two seconds, combined with Leon’s clumsy movement and him getting staggered by anything just makes the game not fun to play on higher difficulties IMO. I also think Ashley’s Ai was better in the original because you can tell her to wait in a spot and she sticks to your back like a glue. Her character is better in the remake, but her Ai is worse. Then there’s the other stuff like the art direction, sound design, cutscenes, voice acting of some of the characters, etc. I prefer the original when it comes to these aspects. The remake is great but it doesn’t replace the original, both games have their strengths and weaknesses and excel in different areas.
For me it's about tied, but I am slightly more partial to the remake. I prefer how the story and characters were handled in the remake.
@@gunnyhighway4422 Chill. It's a matter of personal preference. Nothing wrong with it. I have more of an issue with the people who are blinded by nostalgia to the point where they can't acknowledge the fact that the remake is still a fantastic game even if they prefer the original, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
Before this video I didn’t know we needed a Beethoven mod for this game. Now I’m certain!
This remake and re2 remake are two sides of resident evil perfected, the action game and the horror game. Both are my top favourites
The only thing preventing this from being a perfect remake in my eyes is the removal of the U-3 boss fight. Hopefully that's rectified in DLC!
Also, no Ashley SUPLEX
I think the knife fight with Krauser makes up for it.
@@roxtechs That was definitely a highlight, but I still missed the U-3.
Yep, it’s in Separate Ways. RE4 remake is the superior overall package to the original, in my opinion.
@@matthewzang6688 I would now have to agree with you overall.
Nah, the original is still better.
This really didn't need a remake.
It actually did
It didn't, but I'm not mad they remade it.
Game of the year easily IMO. Might be close with Baldur's Gate but I haven't played that yet. Best remake of all time by a long shot.
Masterpiece game
If only you could Remake it up to all those people you scammed
The game was empty and quite disappointing. Its a bit of a red flag when you need to see 'best yet' and 'masterpiece' every video where the game is mentioned. Fun? Sure slamming rocks together can be fun. "Best thing ever since Jesus Christ walking on water"? Pffft lol. SMH.
Filled it with so much clutter yet ultimately is more empty. It's missing that charm and soul
After scrolling for 20 mins I saw this video and said out loud, "There it is. There's the content." ❤
Got the platinum for the remakes of 2, 3, and 4, and I'd still say I love RE2 remake the most.
Crowbat's video would disagree. RE4 REMAKE was kinda trash.
ah yes, that video where he edited the audio to make the remake seem like it's pratically mute while the original feels like you are hearing the best quality a game from the gamecube/ps2 era could ever have?
yeah i saw that one aswell, it's also pretty great how he made one of the negatives points the fact that ashley doesn't react if you try to look at her panties ( and that's actually incorrect, she does in fact reacts if you try to look, so even that stupid comparion is false information, like the whole video).
But hey, big youtuber said game bad so that's my opinion now.
@@lucasfranca2041 The watered down cutscenes. The lack of personality between character encounters. No Aida story upon release (still yet to see if there will be). Castle flamethrower section completely cut. RE4 REMAKE had some things going for it but definitely pulled on the heartstrings of many, including myself.
@@AlexanderMartinez-kr3ndWatered down cutscenes? Nah...the cutscenes just weren't directed as great as the original. That's not a big deal. The characters were just as bad and good as the characters in the original. Separate Ways is coming Sept 21 so you're wrong there. Castle flamethrower? That was corny. Especially the lava rooms. That didn't even make any sense. Why was there lava inside of a castle?
