make it first person and i'd give it a go

 

[Nankatsu]

I honestly think it looks really good and I'm happy with the gameplay changes.

 

[Urban]

Maybe some of you should wait till there is new directfeed material?

Looks ok just like the original game

 

[GymWolf]

This one should have been nextgen only, it looks the same as remake 2/3.

 

[OZ9000]

Looks pretty damn good although Leon's face looks weird.

 

[GymWolf]

Ashley looks

 

[OZ9000]

Ashley looks

Looks fine to me. She's probably in her 20s here.

 

[Spaceman292]

So they made Ashley a grown woman instead of a kid, wasn't she the president's daughter? Always thought it was weird the president just didn't send in the entire us army to get her.

I guess he didn't want to start a war with generic rural europe

We apparently have "low standard" for liking it. We have to be obsessing over graphics just like everyone else in GAF, if you dont you are not true gamer.

 

[Skifi28]

Also, is Leon not wearing his Jacket at all in this? I don't think I've seen a single screenshot of him in it

Pretty sure he was wearing it in the gameplay reveal a few months ago.

Edit: Found it

 

[xrnzaaas]

Pretty funny how teams responsible for DS and RE4 remakes have both decided to add side missions. I'm okay with that if the content will be interesting (the ones in Dead Space lacked cool new locations or maybe a new boss fight).

 

[GymWolf]

Looks fine to me. She's probably in her 20s here.

She looked younger in the original game, it's not a big deal.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I don't get the hype. Seems like the same game but with modified stuff which could arguably make the game worse.
They changed the lighting, changed the atmosphere, made a new and soulless UI, put in gameplay changes just because... nah, not for me, although I might get it later at a discount to check it out since I guess the game will still be fun to play.

Imo, RE2 and RE3 remakes made sense, but this one doesn't.

 

[Spaceman292]

soulless UI

The fuck does this even mean

 

[TintoConCasera]

The fuck does this even mean

I just don't like how every UI nowadays looks the same. White and sterile icons and lines, no context, no personality.

Without any context, if you'd look at the image of the left, you'll immediately recognize it as the RE4 map screen. Do the same with the one on the right and I'll bet it'd took you some time to realize, since it looks just about the same as any other modern game.

It's the smallest of my concerns with this remake, but I don't like it.

No stamina meter maybe?

Oh gosh the map is a slightly different colour preorder cancelled

You are right, guess it's time to fire every art director in the industry and just make every game look the same.

Hold up.
I played through that game a dozen of times.. did it always have a map!?
Did I miss a whole map-section!?!?!

 

[Spaceman292]

The actual game is meant to have 'soul'. The UI is meant to impart information. If it's Persona 5 or Hifi Rush the UI can be all crazy, but this is a horror game.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Can't fucking wait. Capcom hasn't missed for me in years and Resi 4 is a classic.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Dead Space is an horror game too and it has one of the best UIs in all of gaming. It's not just about imparting information, it's about being cohesive and making sense. That's why Persona 5 and Hi-Fi Rush have such stylized UIs, because they fit in the game.
I mean, why change it in the RE4 remake? They could have remade the old look, or they could have made something completely new. Instead, they made the same lazy and boring UI as every other modern game seems to be doing. Feels uninspired.

But hey I don't want to make this look like a weird rant on modern UIs, so I'll repeat what I said earlier: among all the things that worry me about this remake, the UI is the lesser one.
I bet the game will be fun to play, it's just that I don't get the hype as much as I got it when RE2 remake was announced, as imo that remake made much more sense than this one.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Goodluck to anyone playing this game for the first time or replaying the game again

Me personally im not going through this anymore and done with RE4 so have fun enjoy the game

Minimalist UIs are just as good. I'd say the UI in the Last of Us games is fantastic, but that's because you barely see it.

Anyway I do agree this whole remake is pretty needless. RE2 and RE3 are old as fuck, but RE4 still looks good.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Why is it snowing in that video clip?

also, quite framey in some of those clips. Stuttering. Hmmmmmm

Original map is much nicer indeed. But nowadays you need to have that generic presentation everywhere.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Looks pretty good. Wonder if this will run on Steam Deck eventually? That would be fun on a portable.

Will probably just buy for my xsx. Liking everything I am hearing about it so far. No qte's ? Yes please.

I bet whatever the hardest mode is for this game will be a worthy challenge.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Ah. Yes, the good ol' PS2 'everything's-brown-like-shit' era. How I've missed it.

Nostalgia goggles, am I right?

That's the Gamecube version, it didn't come to the PS2 until later.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Hell yeah. I am getting two copies.

I bet it will. The other two remakes play well on the Deck.

 

[Slicker than your average]

I guess he didn't want to start a war with generic rural europe

Leon is the equivalent to 50 f22, 100 m1s and 50,000 army battalion.

Will capcom finally reveal what the S stands for Leon s Kennedy.

 

[TonyK]

This is what rain looked like in games 7 years ago. I swear after Dead Space, Gotham knights and Forspoken, we are actually producing worse graphics than we did in 2015-2016.

That's not "gameS", in plural. That's Uncharted. We can't use Naughty Dog games as reference for a whole console generation. If that was the case, no one single PS5 game has better gameplay animations than PS4, because of Last of Us 2. But that was a gem, a single game, an exception not representative of the PS4 generation.

It was multiple games but then i decided not to spam the thread with gifs so i posted them in the graphics fidelity thread instead.

Lol at the rain effects in RE4.

This is what ND was doing last gen.

\

And Rocksteady in 2015.

This looks more like Days Gone's snow lol

2023 was supposed to save us from cross gen mediocrity but man Forspoken, Dead Space and now RE4?? we are in for another rough year.

 

[Needlecrash]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?!

The graphics dont look impressive at all. However will obviously still buy it lol.

It stands for Sreally big penis

I agree; there’s something just very off about most of the models in the RE Engine to me. Or whatever this engine is called

 

[GymWolf]

I think It's hit and miss.

Men look good but women looks creepy except for ada.

 

[Come On Tars]

Stoked, but I'm definitely just going to play it on the eventual praydog VR mod

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I already have my pre-order ready, along with Zelda ToK

 

[TintoConCasera]

Is it engine related? Faces look fine in other RE Engine games, like SF6 or MH:Rise.

I just hope they don't fuck faces up in Dragon's Dogma 2.

 

[Gambit2483]

I agree; there’s something just very off about most of the models in the RE Engine to me. Or whatever this engine is called

Meh, I don't really have an issue with the way the women of RE2/3/4 Remake look. Not everyone is supposed to look like a super model.

 

[oji-san]

Looks delicious.

 

[XXL]

Please let me play the entire thing in VR on day 1

I think it'll be added later. RE8 VR needs it's time to shine in VR, RE4 VR would be an issue in that regard for Capcom. It has to be coming though and if RE4 VR on Quest 2 is any indication, we are in for a real treat with this one.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Yes, that's the only difference.

No wonder you think the remake looks good

The fact that you don't is literally

Lemme guess, you also think that the PSX version of RE1 was a lot more atmospheric than the Gamecube remake? Cause that's what you sound like.

Hey guys, check it out - apparently this

is a LOT more atmospheric than this.

This

is a lot more atmospheric than this

Maybe you'd want them to go 'back to the roots' and do it like this?

 

[Jesb]

Looks good and very much looking forward to it. I do wish it was current gen only. RE4 was known for being one of top looking games when it came out and this is nowhere near that. That rain is pretty bad lmao.

atmosphere isn't just graphics, mate

 

[Nickolaidas]

Then tell me in what exact way is the original more atmospheric than the remake, based on what we've seen.

How exactly does the original ooze more atmosphere than the remake?

I never said it's better or worse, just different, which for a remake is a miss imo.

Kind of like what happened with the Demon's Souls remake: they focused on adding as much stuff to the environments as possible and as many lighting effects as possible to make it look technically better, losing the original atmosphere of the game in the process.

 

[Gorgyles]

Atmosphere isn't easily defined for the undiscerning FunkoPop Crunchyroll crowd.
They're going to love everything no matter what anyway.

I'd say atmosphere is a product of high level artistry applied in a way designed to immerse and elicit feeling.

It's easier to put your finger on elements that are atmosphere-breaking like that rain.
