"Change the tone of RE4 in the upcoming remake," they said...
With a change in tone you wouldn't get Pulitzer prize-worthy lines of dialog like this
I'm trying to decide between this and "No thanks, bro" as the absolute best line in the game. Leon at his one-liner height of power
If the rumours are correct and they’re drastically changing things, I think the humour will be gone too. This just makes the HD Project even more valuable.
Unrelated to that, I’ve come up with a simple control change that makes life easier:
Use Steam Input to add an additional action to the unused button (default LB on Xinput layout). The action is turbo X. You’ll be able to pick up items, mash through text/prompts, and perform all but one QTE button mashes (Krauser) with no effort at all.
You can also get an additional benefit if you swapped your shoulder buttons like I did, because LT is the turbo button but it also retains QTE function so you can just hold that and press either A or RT as needed.
Now I’m going to go back to wishing for a seamlessly added ability to play as Mercenaries in the main story. Mainly for Krauser and his bow, but I’d happily play as Hunk and Wesker for those melee attacks.
