I mean, the game is good. I wouldn't call it the greatest remake ever. I wish they had actually changed something around with this one over RE2/3, but of course this is the one they didn't change a whole lot about!

You don't mess with perfection. You just update it and add new mechanics. Goddamn I can't wait for Mercs tomorrow. Hunk neck snaps and Wesker combos from across the map. Also Ada in her dress hmmmm. Can't wait to see her loadout. And Luis! With dynamite.

 

[Represent.]

Preferred TLOU Part 1 more, and on PS5 its a way more polished and consistent game. So Im going with that.

 

[VeganElduderino]

whatever! RERemake,Re2Remake and Re4Remake are top tier games, i don't see why we have to debate which one is the best

 

[OCASM]

The chainsaw man doesn't kill you in one hit.

Inferior.

He does ...

 

[MMaRsu]

Its miles ahead of the Dead Space remake but thats just because the game is so much better

True.

But not to say that Dead Space remake was a bad game either. That game was also fan-fucking-tastic.

RE4 is just better.

 

[Mozzarella]

It's a masterpiece and i loved it more than the original, but NO.

1) Resident Evil Remake (2002)
2) Black Mesa
3) Resident Evil 4 Remake
4) Resident Evil 2 Remake
5) Binding of Issac Rebirth
6) Dead Space remake
7) Link's Awakening
8) Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver
9) Demon's Souls
10) Zero Mission

 

[OCASM]

Aiming is done through a very primitive cross fixed on the center of the screen vs an in-world laser sight that can move around the screen allowing fast motions without inducing motion sickness.

Inferior.

 

[Rush2112]

Nah it’s Demons Souls and Shadow of colossus. Prove me wrong.

 

[DonJimbo]

Will play it when im back home from vacation on series x how is the Performance on the X ?

 

[Outlier]

I don't know why FF7R is on the list.
It's not a remake. It's a sequel made to appear like a remake.

 

[OCASM]

No mercenaries mode. Inferior.

 

[adamsapple]

No mercenaries mode. Inferior.

It goes live in a few hours.

It's already like if you're in new zealand.

 

[Captain Toad]

It's incredibubble, but I don't knows if I like it better than the old RE4 yet.

I will give my review when I have finished it so the people can decide if they want to buy.

Yeah, because we're all waiting on you to make our decision.

 

[Field]

No mercenaries mode. Inferior.

No ballistics either.

 

[MMaRsu]

No ballistics either.

Noone cares

You can buy a laser from the merchant.

All of your complaints in this thread so far are pretty petty lol.

 

[OCASM]

No Ada, no Wesker.

The laser sight you can buy works completely different from the original's: it's just a raycast from the center of the screen that lags behind the camera. It's terrible.

All of your complaints in this thread so far are pretty petty lol.

Severe changes to fundamental gameplay mechanics = petty complaints.



A petty complaint would be calling out the fire effects with a godawful bloom implementation.

 

[Paltheos]

Ever? I'd be surprised. Metroid: Zero Mission is really good. ... AM2R's probably better too.

 

[adamsapple]

No Ada, no Wesker.

Both of them are datamined and have sprites and models in the game, they will be added.

Severe changes to fundamental gameplay mechanics = petty complaints.

Yes, it's a reimagined remake, not a remaster. Not sure why you're expecting it to have 1 : 1 game play mechanics.

 

[Badlucktroll]

By Bloober Team? Nah, I'll believe it when I see it. Bloober hasn't gotten close to what Capcom has been putting out recently.

(Fyi: a friend of mine does the writing for the Silent Hill 2 remake, and still.. I'm sceptical.)

Lord willing, Silent Hill 2 shall reign supreme

We had all characters day one in the original game.

The mechanics don't have to be 1:1, they just need to be good and retain the intent of the original. That's not the case here.

James emo face is not a good sign.

 

[Signal Rockets]

IGN is so wrong. RE GameCube 2002 tops all.

 

[adamsapple]

That is a very highly subjective opinion. Mine is different than yours.

 

[OCASM]

It's not opinion, it's a fact. Whether you like the new mechanics better or not, that's where the subjectivity comes in.

 

[Signal Rockets]

Well, some people think SH2 is overrated as well. So it's only natural companies will not be logically remaking games in order if they can just pump out those that are the most likely to sell.

It's also not really a sequel. It's a game with a story separate from Harry Mason's ordeal. So it's also not fully required.

 

[Danjin44]

I don't know why FF7R is on the list.

I loved FFVIIR but this actually true....

 

[adamsapple]

Yes, your post says "they just need to be good"

I think they're beyond good. Hence, subjective.

 

[OCASM]

"need to be good AND retain the intent of the original"

 

[adamsapple]

"need to be good AND retain the intent of the original"

I think the new mechanics are better *and* they retain the intent of the original.

It does everything a good remake should.

 

[Shakka43]

It's a better remake than 2 and 3 but not better REmake. REmake does everything better than the og RE, I wouldn't say the same for RE4R.

 

[SegaManAU]

Nah, its good but RE2R is better.

 

[KillaJamm]

Honestly I would have to agree, with the Dead Space remake a close second, then RE2 and REmake.

 

[lostinblue]

Preferred TLOU Part 1 more, and on PS5 its a way more polished and consistent game. So Im going with that.

not a remake. enhanced port.

 

[DavidGzz]

Nah, REbirth is.

This cut and change too many things to be the perfect remake.

Still better than remake 2, r3make or final milking 7.

That's cause it's a remake not a remaster like the games that are unchanged.

 

[Gambit2483]

Can we all just agree that Capcom is the King of Videogame remakes?

 

[March Climber]

I hope they remake Resident Evil 1 again in RE Engine, so that I can see REmake fans in this thread be torn between the two versions.

 

[Strider Highwind]

It's a masterpiece and i loved it more than the original, but NO.

1) Resident Evil Remake (2002)
2) Black Mesa
3) Resident Evil 4 Remake
4) Resident Evil 2 Remake

6) Dead Space remake
7) Link's Awakening
8) Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver
9) Demon's Souls
10) Zero Mission

Hell of a list, hell of a list.

Has anyone commented about the sound design in Re 4Remake tho? I play on a really nice sound system and when I fire my gun indoors...my god it's insane.

 

[Azurro]

Nah. REmake is.

REmake needs a REmake at this point.

 

[Alexios]

Seems pretty par for the course with the likes of Mafia: Definitive Edition, Yakuza Kiwami, Fire Emblem Echoes and others of their ilk (basically any overhaul going beyond the visuals and 1:1 to the original gameplay like OoT3D, Demon's Souls and Metroid Prime Remastered).

Granted most of them weren't remakes of games as renowned as the original RE4 but I'd say they did as good a job as RE4's remake for their source material regardless.

 

[Edmund]

Is it me or is Remake 4 really tough? I'm playing on normal and have already died around 50 times (or even more) and I'm only at chapter 10.


I probably died only a handful of times in Remake 2 and 3, RE 7 and RE village.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Where are all these REmake shills coming from? I just thought it was me & brian0057 holding it down.

REmake is still king. Is RE4 remake good? Bro I'm on playthrough 6, it's good to play but I ain't watching the cutscenes again, it lacks the fun. It's too gritty, Leon wipes his ass with the knife he uses to parry the Chainsaw guy.

 

[brian0057]

REmake needs a REmake at this point.

No, it doesn't.

 

[Azurro]

No, it doesn't.

Yeah it does. The models look old, the pre rendered backgrounds are blurry, controls are archaic, everything is low res by today's standards, geometry, textures, everything.

That's a good thing.
It's called Challenge.

Oh and that's nothing compared to what we endured during the 80s/90s. Game Over screens were a matter of fact

 

[Badlucktroll]

After Silent Hill 2 dethrones this, i think a strong possibility exists that Re REmake will dethrone Silent Hill 2.

 

[OCASM]

I think the new mechanics are better *and* they retain the intent of the original.

It does everything a good remake should.

The intent: tactical shooting with a heavy emphasis on timing and positioning with strong movement restrictions to induce tension.
The remake: fast paced twitchy shooter with unlimited freedom of movement and parrying to defuse any and all tension.

"It's the same but better."

REmake needs a REmake at this point.

God no.

Yeah it does. The models look old, the pre rendered backgrounds are blurry, controls are archaic, everything is low res by today's standards, geometry, textures, everything.

"I want all my games to play exactly the same."

The only possible problem is the blurry backgrounds but that's been fixed via AI upscaling.
