It really does seem like RE4 Remake will have more horror than its original. The atmosphere seems very eerie and they might have even decided to try and bring back elements for the original version of RE4, like that hallucination that chased Leon.
seriously, that'd be a huge bonus personally, the only section that I really wanted them to redesign is the military section near the end of the game, everything else is fine
@@Codex_0613 I kind of hated Salazar's giant robot thingy. There were a few sections I'd like to see changed. I really do hope It's more horror focused.
@@charliechow7853 haha ferreal. Now that they’re probably done with remakes, I’m excited to see where they take the 3rd person games in the next ten years.. Unless we get a Code Veronica remake, which seems just as likely as getting a RE5 remake. Personally I just want a 3rd person game back in Raccoon City, doesn’t have to be Leon or Chris
everytime i think of re4, i think about my dad. i remember him playing this game on the ps2 when i was a kid with my mother on the side telling him everytime he missed an object or watching out for enemies for him lmao. this eventually birthed my interest for the franchise as a whole, and now it is something i hold very near and dear to my heart. my dad passed away in 2009, and one of the few memories i have of him is his playthrough of the first few re games, mainly 4. the fact that i get to see the remake is both surreal, exciting and emotional, cause i genuinely wish my dad could be here to share my sentiment. nevertheless, this game in particular holds a special place in my heart and is something that connects me to my dad. i will always be thankful for that, and i cannot wait to see the remake in full ❤️
I really hope that they introduce Krauser in a better way. In the original RE4 he just turns up and we don't have a clue who he is but Leon just knows him from the past. Now we know about Operation Javier it would be cool to have a flashback or something included. Not everybody has played Darkside Chronicles so it would be an excellent way to introduce Krauser properly.
@@weskershades i doubt they do it too but it would be nice if they did that. either as a bonus mission or like a DLC hinting at perhaps a darkside chronicles/code veronica remake
It should play when Leon passes out for the first time by the lake. We wake up in a flashback of his missions before the events of re4 and each flashback shows what happened in that “saga” ending with krausers infection
killer insight and observations - nobody does it better! would love to see the Leon parasite thing expanded. more stressful and anxiety inducing also - the zealots look insanely creepy!
I hope that, while the horror elements are certain in this game, it at least keeps *some* of the campiness from the original Leon: Saddler, you're small time! Ashley: YEAH, GET HIM LEON!
The original RE4 is such a classic. It’s a total black sheep of the series for a few reasons - the campiness and reduced horror being the main Reasons - but it just works in its favour. You can totally tell that Devil May Cry is the game’s long lost brother
It is insane to think that it's been more than 17 years since the original release. I still remember how graphically impressive it was back then and especially how revolutionary it was, daring to change the classic RE formula. I hope that this remake is up to its legacy, the legacy of being one of the best games of all time.
This is quite possibly the best analysis of the game's trailer on TH-cam. It was a smart decision to wait and gather your thoughts unlike a lot of other channels who rushed out a video as fast as possible. Great work!
Yess, that's what I love about this channel. She always puts out very detailed explanation & analysis videos which are always worth watching and listening to.
Was thinking the same thing. When it came to FFXVI, for example, as soon as State of Play was done, I saw one youtuber put out an analysis like 10-20 mins later. Kinda seemed like it might've been rushed out there. I definitely think it's better take your time and put out a proper video like this than push one out sooner than everybody. Good on you, Suzy.
@@TheSphereHunterI found your channel from going through random Bayonetta videos all you're content in entertaining interesting well thought and I'm happy you make content more good luck in the future I knew the moment I saw the new resident evil remake you'd have some thoughts and great as always
I honestly hope hunnigan has more of presence here. She'd balance the more intense horror focus out and act as a sort of comfort for the player hearing a friendly voice. I also liked she got more depth in 6, willing to risk her neck for Leon and Helena.
I wouldn't mind giving her more involvement just shy of the mgs codec. Scripted portions as usual with optional calls at different locations of interest.
A Luis playable section would be nice. Like when he dropped the sample and has to go get it in the castle. But he runs into saddler and has to run from some new enemy type....or something.
Or, even better, a post-game mini campaign about him, starting before the arriving of Leon and ending with a mini boss fight with a mid-trasformation Saddler. Just spitballing here, but man I'm so pumped for this announcement 😍
oh yeah, this is gonna be the first "remake" of a Resident evil game that will have the new type of enemies and not the usual zombies wonder how they will handle em gameplay wise
The thing I look forward to the most about this remake is the use of lighting. The shot with the cult members in what looks to be the castle got me excited, imaging exploring the castle, but it’s dark and you can only see with the flashlight, just like Ashley’s section, and you hear the chants from the cult members in the dark. Love it.
Yeah maybe. It’s been done already though in several hallways in RE2R and in RE Village when you’re in the bowels of the castle. How could they make that experience more unique or interesting? 🤔
I like the angle they're going for here with Leon, he has survivors guilt which is a very common thing to develop when you end up being one of the few survivors or only survivor of a traumatic event, and he probably believes that if he can bring Ashley back safely it will absolve him in some way of his guilt and the past "failure" as he deems it. Emotional depth to a character like Leon is oh so good, i cannot wait to see more of this game!
I DON'T like that angle. Leon in the original RE4 was a complete badass because he trained for 6 straight years due what happened to him in Raccoon City. He never wanted to be that unprepared again, but what's THIS Leon's backstory? Seems like he CRIED for 6 straight years, cuz this Leon seems like a soft little emo puss to me...
Yeah, let's turn what used to be a cheeky fun romp into a dreary, po-faced slog. Goofy shit like Leon's cheesy one liners and being chased by a giant Napoleon statue was what made the game so damn memorable.
I think the potential for them to elaborate on Krauser is really huge here. I'm super excited to see him be consequential beyond just being a random nemesis archetype
I hope Ashley also gets her own little inventory like she did when you played as her in RE4 but instead now she can heal you and hold onto any extra ammo you may have. I think the idea of her healing you up if your hurt in a fight would make her more useful as well.
By the way on Ada’s outfit, she’s wearing a tactical turtleneck. And given the weather, that makes sense. But this change is also not bad because she still retains the same color to the dress seen in the original RE4.
@@LovePotion_ I'd presume there is no difference and they're just calling it tactical because it sounds cool only other thing I could maybe think is if there really is some sorta difference it might be the term they use for the turtlenecks with a tight fitting neckline compared to the turtlenecks with those loose floppy necklines (since tight fitting means more tactical?) but I dunno sounds dumb to call a sweater (or any piece of clothing for that matter) tactical.
@@ZSleepingDragonZ If they do actually do that they'll probably add unnecessary shorts like how Jill got a skort or they'll do something dumb like instead of it being a dress they turn it into a romper with a skirt covering the bottom.
I hope they incorporate a lot more of the laboratory setting into the island section of the game. Less of the annoying gun fights and more of the terrifying monstrosities causing you complete panic in tight, dingy hallways. The thought of the updated regenerators is so exiting, especially with the new engine used.
@@captainjaber5610 NO. Not Nest all over again. The island is actually pretty unique. A military base that's degraded into a garbage dump because the mind-controlled soldiers don't bother with the upkeep anymore. The lab parts feel more organically integrated into the environment. I'm still irked they completely replaced the Dead Factory in RE3 with Nest 2. I mean, really.
I think it’s interesting that for Leon and Ashley they’re using designs closer to 3.5. I think it goes to show that they figured if they’re making it more horror focused, why not dig into cut content from the original that was also more horror focused than the final game. I’ll admit I’m still kinda in the camp of “RE4 doesn’t need a remake”, but if they’re going to anyways, I’m glad they’re doing some interesting things with it while still trying to keep a lot of what made it great to begin with. One final thing is, there’s a very real chance that this game fixes the BIGGEST problem with the original: Leon losing his jacket after the first level. If it’s anything like RE2R we’ll get to unlock it on replay files. Since they already have the RE2R models lying around too I imagine we’ll probably also get the RPD costume for Leon again too which would be cool.
Couldn't agree more with this. I don't think RE4 needs a remake either (especially with that HD mod being completed recently), but if they're bringing it, it'll be cool to see what they do. Just hope it's more good than bad, to put it simply. And that they don't change too much. And yeah, I hope we get to keep the jacket too. Lol.
I'm still in the camp of “RE4 doesn’t need a remake” however i know it's going to come no matter what so i just hope that's at least as good as RE 2 remake. (I want to be wrong and i'm ok with being wrong :)
Nahh I actually want the jacket to be stolen by some ganado again. But this time, leon kills the ganado and can choose b/w wearing it again or letting it stay on the poor ganado's corpse
Unlike certain older games, the original RE4 is far more accessible compared to Silent Hill 1-3, and original RE 1-3. So, in this case were if one doesn't like the RE4 Remake, "the original is ALWAYS there for you to enjoy" angle perfectly applies. While, I also feel original RE4 still holds up very well in comparison to modern 3rd person shooters, I also welcome the remake, because hey, it's absolutely wonderful having 2 versions of one of the greatest games ever made. ;-)
RE4's entire village section and the first 3/4ths of the castle were really tense and gave a sense of dread. I hope they can find a way to carry that through the rest of the game in this remake. RE4 is my favorite game of all time and I'm really impressed with what they've shown so far. 2023 is going to be a great year for video games.
I'm really hoping we get to play as Luis when he goes looking for the medicine. It would make his ultimate demise all the more heart wrenching being attached to him as we play him.
One thing that concerns me, the whole plot of RE4 was that sadlers plan was to use ashley to infiltrate the whitehouse and infect more people with the plaga...but in this game those infected with the plaga look downright too monstrous for that plan to make sensed
Mabye he could make a type of plaga that's more low-key like a control plaga but without the control. Or you know go the other route give the daughter back they'll know she's infected and will put her in quarantine where before they even come up with a plan to cure her she will mutate into some kind of monster and just break out
Much of the horror in Re4 was how many enemies they threw at you. You're constantly fighting for your life and I hope they keep that same design philosophy while also expanding on the much needed moments like the regenerators and change the way the parasites sprout from the ganados. like instead of completely exploding their head make it to where they sprout from their neck and their head is jagged and still visible.
"change the way the parasites sprout from the ganados. like instead of completely exploding their head make it to where they sprout from their neck and their head is jagged and still visible." Maybe have a few pop from their stomachs.
I really wonder how they'll handle the Merchant, especially since they're going for a more realistic tone. I doubt he'll be able to die or seemingly teleport anymore lol. He'll probably be a bit more like the Duke from RE8, unkillable and only found in more sparce designated zones. Assuming they'll be making him more like the Duke, it would be cool if we could interact with him a bit more, he was always a fun character.
@@yakthekuza7296 I would like to see him expanded on but I feel you can do that while still keeping his character a mystery. And when I say expanded on I solely mean just a bit more interaction. Original Merchant was just there to buy and sell stuff, that is all. They managed to do the Duke and still keep his character mysterious and feel they can do the same with the merchant.
I believe the merchant from RE4 is from a merchant family and uses under ground tunnels and such to get around so fast might be why the Duke knows him if he came from a prestigious family of merchants and his skills of being in the right place at the right time
The Duke totally teleports, since he can enter rooms with doors way too small for him... maybe it's a special power of merchants. If they expand the merchant with a minigame like the cooking stuff, I wonder what it will be.
I remember hearing that it was supposed to come out this year originally, so that they pushed it back and broke the yearly release they had kept since 2019 gives me hope that they really want this to be good.
I got RE4 on steam cause it was on sale and I never played it before. The same exact day the trailer for the remake comes out and I could not be more excited. I beat the game last night and I loved it. Thanks for the amazing content. Without this channel I'm not sure I would've ever given the original RE, RE0, and RE4 a chance. All of which were great experiences.
I've been saying Hasta luego in Leon's voice for 17 years, I'm going to need that in the remake lol. On a more feature based note though, I would die if they added photomode to this: I wanted it so bad for the other remakes and we finally got it in 8 but it's not the best, I need to zoom in on every epic suplex when this game releases.
I am so excited for this remake; I feel like a 6yr old who's excited about a potential Christmas present, except I'm buying the present myself. This game will be such a terrifying trip down memory lane.
We need the merchant as a playable character in Mercenaries. His loadout should be the most OP of all. Including Rocket Launcher, Chicago Typewriter and other OP weapons.
I’ve played RE4 more than I care to admit, and I’m sure other have played it even more- so this is why I’m a little surprised so many content creators didn’t think of RE4 when the Spanish ??ukulele?? kicked in. I heard “is this the last of us?” from multiple videos lmao. That opening driving scene is just hella iconic, because the tone is so strikingly different. It was an immediate “Yep, that’s resident evil 4” for me, even though I was in denial that it would be at state of play.
At first, I wasn't too excited about RE4 remake because RE4 is a game that doesn't necessarily need a remake in my opinion. However, I'm excited to see how they will take the story this time around. Really want to see Leon's reunion with the presumed dead Ada from RE 2 remake have a greater impact and of course how they're going to tie in RE8 within the greater RE universe.
If it's being made by the team that made re2r, re7, and re8 I have total faith in their abilities. They have made all of my favorite RE games, with the exception of RER and the original 4.
I beat this game last month for the millionth time, this time on my Nintendo Switch and man… How? How is it possible that this game, to this day, is so fun to play from start to finish? If the remake is disappointing (Which I doubt) we will always have the classic RE4 for us
This is the "a team" release like re2 was 3 was made by a sister "b squad" group and obviously they aren't the a team for a reason. This SHOULD be of the quality of 2 though it's hard to say story / gameplay wise how it will compare to the original.
Watching this when Suzi streamed it was pretty funny. The way she got all excited about it and then just like crashed. It was funny to see someone just talk about it so passionately.
I love that they are retelling the story with more continuity. I expect RE4-R to have nods to Village/RE7 and RE2-R. Let’s hope for a Code Veronica remake next because we have to know what happens to Claire after RE2-R.
kinda wish they’d gone for Code Veronica first tbh. vastly overhauling a game a lot of people found unplayable woulda been pretty neat, RE4 is still playable and could’ve waited a little longer
I’m honestly highly hopeful that RE4 remake will live up to its hype. It really appears to take itself a lot more seriously than the original game. Plus it really reminds me of what I’m doing in my personal life outside of gaming. Years ago, I wrote this book and published it. It was known as “Road Ranger’s Rise.” It’s a story about betrayal and brutal justice. However I wrote it in a way that doesn’t take itself seriously enough. For example the beginning of the story shows the main character participate in a huge battle which doesn’t actually have much to do with the main story. The main character in question, who is an Army Ranger, was to be shown as the sole survivor of that battle. In this new rewrite of the book, there is no big battle in the beginning. Instead it shows the main character contemplating in his car. He goes over his memories of his deployments as an Army Ranger, his tragedy of his mother dying from a gunshot wound, and him being told that the law won’t do anything about what he suffered. He even talks to himself (without actually talking I should say) about taking matters into his own hands. He takes a gun out of his glove compartment, loads it, and you just know he’s about to do something nasty. This part of the story that acts as the opening is also chronologically in the middle of the story. Though it’s shown through the perspective of the protagonist. However after the opening first chapter, the second chapter goes back 48 hours before this event. The midpoint of the story, the same area that takes place in the opening first chapter, has a perspective switch of an important person to the main character who is revealed to be the traitor in his life. This is what RE4 original and RE4 remake really reminds me of. And honestly, I’m extremely excited. Edit: The new rewrite of the book is not called “Road Ranger’s Rise.” It’s simply titled as “The Road Ranger.”
Definitely happy as hell they're going with his 3.5 design. Always preferred the poofy bomber jacket over what we got in the final version of RE4 lol. And the best part is, if this game's anything like the RE2 Remake and RE3 Remake, we should be able to change his outfit at any point in the game, being able to FINALLY wear the jacket through the whole game lol.
My dream scenario involves an extended Ashley section as a primer but I would also love to see Separate Ways incorporated into the main game as well as a playable Luis chapter sort of like Carlos' mission through the hospital in RE3R.
If it means beefing this up to 30+ hours, I will be there for all 30+ because this is sounding more and more epic. I don't want things being cut this time either.
@@ZenMonkeyGod as awesome as that sounds and I want it to be true, let's remember to be realistic in our expectations. we should expect the game to be at least minimum the same length as the original version, so around 15 hours. But if it is as cut down as 3's remake (as much as I like that game) it would be a tragic waste. 30 hours might be on the too extreme side because remember, the original game has some of the best pacing out there with it's only real lag moment being on the final Island, and 30 hours could be stretching it even for a remake.
@@4eyeT While I absolutely loved both Re2 and 3's remakes, they both had quite a bit missing so if RE4 got the same treatment, I wouldn't be surprised. In their now deleted comment, 30h seems highly optimistic and far too long if I'm honest. LoU2 clocked in around 25h in my first run and that was with essentially two full campaigns. I can't think of other Action Horror games that even come close to that time. I think Evil Within 2 is a closer comparison to RE4 and even that one only passed 15h due to some backtracking side quests which I can't see them putting into this remake.
Nobody I've seen has mentioned so i wanted to point it out: the outfit Ada is wearing is reminiscent of her Mercenaries outfit, wich is in itself an "updated" version of her RE2 look.
Honestly, I really liked the fact that most enemies in OG RE4 looked very human, made it really creepy at the time to fight human faces with dialog even, instead of mindless zombies.
I always enjoy hearing Sphere’s analysis about anything Capcom. But this is RE4, Capcom’s holy grail of games. Please don’t mess it up. ( I swear they better keep The Merchant in the game) Edit: and they did, yay
As a long time re fan going back to 96.... 4 is probably my least favorite (well next to 6) but I always like the promise of 4 just couldn't get down with the humor / gameplay changes (5 did the same but to me did it "right") so being able to finally experience 4 story but through a lense that looks much more in line with the other games in the series so far has me pumped. I know you're probably younger and played this game during a very nostalgia driven time frame in your life so its easy to look past / enjoy the low bar humor and action stuff but to me RE was always a very serious kind of game very intense and something that had you spooked and sweating not laughing your ass off. With the remakes leaning HEAVILY into what got me into the series to begin with (and being huge success in doing so) I'm really hoping they can do 4 but the proper way this time. Even Makami has said how they rushed the original and didn't put much thought into it so nows the chance to do it right.... Let's hope it delivers.
@@predetor911 The remake of RE3 was originally intended to be DLC for RE2. The game director for RE3 remake, I believe, said that if he knew going in it was going to be released as a full game, he would have added more content.
No way they would remove one of the most iconic parts of the original game. I bet he's gonna be revealed in a later trailer in a dramatic fan service shot.
I'm loving the darker tone of the game with the moonlight in the background and the fog. Capcom outdid themselves with RE2 Remake visuals and details. No doubt this'll be awesome!
Completely agree with you, RE4 is my absolute favourite with RE2 remake being a close second. One thing I hope is left in is the chicken eggs 🥚 especially the gold ones lol Another that would be awesome would be translated subtitles for the Ganados, cause they had some funny lines when you know what they are saying. Other things I'm looking forward to are Nick's performance as this Leon, so happy they kept his gorgeous face model from RE2. Also our good friend, Merchant, the giants (bet they are gonna be terrifying), Salazar boss fight, the chainsaw sisters... So much to list lol bring on March!
This year has been so good for me when it comes to gaming, and especially towards remakes. With Sega's House of the Dead 1&2 getting remakes with the first one being pretty good, and Max Payne 1 and 2 getting remakes by their ORIGINAL studio and not Rockstar and now this? This year just keeps getting better than ever.
What's funny it's that I was playing through the max payne trilogy when the remakes got annouced and now I'm playing through re4 and a remake is annouced
Amazing breakdown and theory’s! Makes me even more keen on the game. Love the idea of Leon becoming visually more infection as the game goes on and then overcomes the infection to fight Saddler
As much as I don't want anything cut, I'm all for limiting the island in favor for the village and castle. I've beaten RE4 like 10 times and it's always a dread playing through the island, the quality just isn't there compared to the other areas.
Cutting things out should NEVER happen. Shinji did it right. Have everything a ADD to it, if something wasn't that good (island) than leave it all in but do it BETTER. Keep it all and ADD to it. I fear capcom will screw this up.
I'm one of those newbie RE players who only got into the games with the remakes, and let me tell you, your breakdowns of these trailers and the games gives me so much more appreciation for them. I didn't experience the originals, but hearing how much they mean to you and your takes on how they should influence the remakes is always amazing. You help me feel hype for a game I know very little about. Thank you so much for helping this newbie enjoy the series so much more.
I honestly hope they take as many liberties with this remake as possible. The OG RE4 is so good and has held up so well that I’d rather have a new experience with this remake instead of being extremely faithful to the original.
Not only that but its quite possibly the best opportunity to reimagine such a game, considering how accessible the original is. It'll be on ps5, Xbox Series X and PC as well alongside the remake.
These are exactly the kinds of videos I’ve been looking for. The hype of this game is absolutely unreal for me. This has been my favorite game since I was like 7, I’m 23 now and this is the first time I get to experience a *remake* of a game that I actually know really, really well. The fact that there is a fanbase like this makes it so much more exciting because I get to watch things like this and talk about it. I absolutely cannot wait for the next trailer or screenshots or a demo or anything. I can’t wait.
Funny thing about the Village Chief, When RE4 was first coming out back in the day, given his look I thought he was going to be an actual Mr. X Tyrant, but left for years without Umbrella's control or instructions and was able to develop his own mind. Was kind of disappointed that it was just coincidence that he looked similar.
I'm very excited at the possibility of having a playable section as each of the main side characters, Like Ashley as a prologue of sorts which ends in her getting captured and taken to the village church, Ada is pretty much a given at some point but I'm most excited about playing as Luis inside the castle before he gets killed, I hope he gets a bigger role in the game since I've always liked his character a lot.
I sure hope this all comes to fruition. I never understood why we had to play as Ashley rather than Luis. Her section is the only part of the original I didn't like.
@@ZenMonkeyGod I liked Ashley's section in the Gamecube release due to the suplex bug, after they took that out in subsequent re-releases, it made that part way less enjoyable.
@@GFMarine I had to check and see. That's hilarious. I never owned it on Ganecube, only PS2. I hope playing as her is more user friendly this time around!
I really think it’s possible this game is reimagined in a similar way to RE6 (different campaigns, different styles). If nothing else, we’re likely getting 3 different perspectives and play styles (Leon, Ashley, Ada). It’s not much of a reach to think each character could tackle a different gameplay style (action, hide & seek, stealth). Village also did this with the houses being different stylistically, on top of Chris leaning way more in to the action FPS.
That first image you displayed saying it was quite hard to tell where it came from, is most definitely the path you take to initially get to the village. ✌️
Love this vid you put into words how I feel about this game it’s what started the love of resident evil games for me and my favorite character Leon! I’m way hyped and hope the remake does the original proud!
First of all: NEEEEERRRRRD!!! 😆 But secondly, that's what I seriously love about you and this channel. I wish I had that kind of love and passion for... well... ANYTHING! Thank you, for putting out these videos and can't wait for your deep-dive once it releases!
Having played 7 and 4 in VR, I feel like Resident Evil is the perfect franchise for it! Really excited, though I’m mostly just impatient for that Village DLC 😭
I have this sneaking suspicion that the island is going to be redesigned the most unlike the village and castle that will probably just get higher details and more design added and Im completely fine with that especially if it means less crossbow enemy's lol.
@@strepsillover9112 I wouldn't say it was horrible but the part that really sucked was when the chopper came in for backup, that and everything after was just not enjoyable. The regenerators were fun because it felt more horror based and they were an actual threat unlike the crossbows which are just annoying threats, and the part were Ashley drove the vehicle wasn't great either.
If I were Capcom I'd just cut the island entirely, replace it with 2-3x more village/castle. Maybe put in a new section in the surrounding woods, since Leon doesn't have to be stuck on a footpath now like the original. There's simply nothing redeeming about the island, no good reason to include it over simply having more of the definitely good areas. And we saw what Dev 1 did with Heisenberg's factory... they've done good work on everything else, but I don't trust them to make the island fun.
@@aceflibble Well, the island is the only part of the remake that's up in the air and I think it would be weird to have the content from island shoehorned into village or castle. I don't think they'd remove the regenerators, and they still need some lore path to removing the plagas from Ashley and Leon in the 3rd act of the game. The island or something akin to a research base that the cult operates is probably how they'll handle it.
I actually like slowly knifing enemies on the ground rather than insta stomping them. It's better if there's a chance for them to come up so you're always pressured to continue knifing.
Kinda sucks when there's a group of them and you're trying to knife one before the others gang up on you. Or maybe some people enjoy that tension as it's kind of a horror-game thing? I dono
@@jmarra07 To each their own I guess. But yeah, it's all about the pressure which makes it better. The player is supposed to find a way to counter the ganging up. Although too much pressure isn't good but with the knives, it's a must for horror games, I'd say. Personally I'm not so fond of stalker type of enemies. Like, okay, Mr X can appear and hunt you, and I'm fine with that and it's a good thing but he hunts for too long that it's interfering with exploration because I always end up scared lol. Then again, that isn't bad and it could be avoided if I knew the map properly but usually I end up at the same place because I'm not sure where to run and in turn I constantly meet Mr X and end up even more confused and tense. For me I'd add the option to add notice stickers on our in game map to help us in our escape. I doubt they will ever implement it though.
@@projectfear22 You might want to give the original versions a try, cause the stalker types can't follow you through doors or up ladders, and the layout is mostly the same, so when you go back to the remakes, you know where to run and hide?
Realistically he should just stomp them to finish it quickly, or one quick knife attack, but can you imagine finding Leon just slicing up a person on the ground until they die lol
@@MrLachapell Yeah I get it, but often times gameplay beats realism. That's why we love Crash and Medievil so the tension created during repetitive slices as you watch other enemies approach is a good thing for survival horror.
One thing that would be really awesome is if they have an unlockable costume where you play as Leon and Ashley with their mutated plaga forms. I've always wondered what they'd look like, and pondered how different it'd be than Krauser's. Also, give those forms some awesome moves like Krauser's re4 ability in mercenaries mode. That would be so awesome.
I hated the island so I'm hoping they make huge changes to that. One of my questions is whether it will have new game plus like the original. The remakes of 2 and 3 didn't but they never did in the originals either.
Resident Evil 5 does need a remake, especially in the story. They need to make it so that Jill is defeated earlier and joins Chris in takin down Wesker instead of Sheva. Jill most of all is the one that deserves to stick it to Wesker for all those years of using her as a guinea pig.
@@LOKITYZ Jill needs a heck of a lot more love. But i dont want them bringing back the Remake 3 design. Her Remake 1 and RE5 look is perfect. She also needs her own post RE5 game. She's the only MC that has no history whatsoever in the 2010's in-universe.
Great video!! I really hope that the game is a tad longer with more of the story incorporation, and i hope they do Mr. Merchy justice. That NPC is one of the most exciting bits for me, and I hope Leon says at the end of the game to Ashley "Hold on tight sweetheart". That would be everything.
You’re the only person that’s covered this trailer that has seen all of these details and actually thought of plausible things that might be added we had a lot of opinions in common and I’ll be subbing to keep up with your content it’s hard to find people this passionate about RE4
I still can't believe this is real... It feels like yesterday when i was a kid and played RE4 for the first time. My god this is just too good... Also we will have the next gen patches for RE2R, RE3R and RE7 to make the wait less painful. Such a good time to be a Resident Evil fan.
Unlike certain older games, the original RE4 is far more accessible compared to Silent Hill 1-3, and original RE 1-3. So, in this case were if one doesn't like the RE4 Remake, "the original is ALWAYS there for you to enjoy" angle perfectly applies. While, I also feel original RE4 still holds up very well in comparison to modern 3rd person shooters, I also welcome the remake, because hey, it's absolutely wonderful having 2 versions of one of the greatest games ever made. ;-)
As a massive RE fan who happens to be from Spain, one of my hopes for this remake would be Capcom using actual Spanish actors for the classic villagers line, in the original they all sound more Latin American which always bugged me. Can any native English speaker confirm if Luis' accent sounds more Latin American or Spanish?
This video showed me so much that I missed from the trailer. I'm so excited for this. I never aged the original games but I've watched so many videos from you and others that I feel like I had to chance to experience them too.
After playing RE1, 2 and 3, plus CV… back in the day… I have to say I never got quite warm with RE4, despite seeing what it did / contributed gaming wise, or on a technical level. But I have to admit I’m very excited to give it another chance. 😁 More Reeeeeesi… 😍
In Spanish, r's are only rolled when it is a double r, or the r is at the start of the word. For "Sera", you'd just want a 'tapped' r. Anyway I loved this video, it got me so hyped!
RE4 is my favorite game of all time, beat it on most versions of it's releases, well over a million points in all Mercenary modes, 100% completion with all secret scenes/deaths etc... and everything I've seen so far of the remake makes me so excited, I don't really want a 1-1 perfect remake with updated graphics, I want enough to make it feel the same but with new content, a retelling of the story.
I do hope Mendez serves as a more chasing and hunting type enemy to be honest. Not much as Mr. X on RE2 but let's say you have to meet him in specific parts where you sneak but if you get spotted, he chases you until you lose him.
No I hated that. Forced stalker enemies are boring and often-times just invulnerable globs that follow you and it destroys exploration for those sections.
@@keloing923 I mean, we already know his time in the story comes to an end. So, being able to return to those sections would be entirely possible later on.
@@ZenMonkeyGod it literally wouldn't add anything at all. You meet him twice and you get KO'd the first and run off the second time. Then he ambushes you the third and final time. You literally have no time to even run from him as there are chapter changes between. People are forgetting all the chapters and saved there are in Re4. You would literally have to break the game up into 5 sections THEN there's about 5 Sub sections within the 5 chapters. It's not gonna work like that unless they take out plot points, areas, meet up points with Ashley's and Luis sections.
I LOVE your videos! I’m very excited for this release and hope it’s on par (or better than) with RE2 Remake. I’m crossing my fingers for Ada’s story to be retained and expanded on too!
I really like the redesigns so far. Wonder how they will handle the Merchant and his iconic lines. I'm all favor to get rid of Qtes in the cutscenes and the boulder. For me, is really anonying/frustrating to die because you pressed the wrong button or didnt mashed your soul out hard enough. Great video and analysis as always Suzi.
I have a hunch that there will be some additions to the story/lore to tie the events of RE4 to Village. Having played both in quick succession, I was really surprised at just how much the Cadou has in common with Las Plagas, and there are a lot of visual similarities in late game enemies, like when Chris faces Urias with all the tentacles coming out of his back. Or even Miranda's Spider Form looks shockingly similar to Saddler's final form. I strongly suspect that Las Plagas will be re-jigged to be some kind of off-shoot of the Megamycete. The mysterious emblem looks shockingly similar to the emblems seem throughout Village, too!
I'm just hoping nothing gets cut this time. Because Half of RE2 was missing in RE2R, so y'know... That complaint about RE3 is valid but it can also be levelled at 2.
Made me luagh when she said no more endless up-skirts for Ashley. Like we don't all know modders will lewd her the moment the game drops. Regardless of that I'm very exited for this remake.
I wonder if Ethan and Leon will ever meet in a future original RE game. There's no connection between them besides Umbrella, but there are similarities in their story and journey. It would be interesting if Capcom tied their story arcs together somehow, but RE9 is meant to be Ethan's finale so it would have to be in that one.
Definitely looking forward to this game, I actually kind of hope it’s not just a 1 to 1 recreation but instead go the RE2 Remake route, where they take the blueprint of the original and build upon it and improve it, but does enough to differentiate itself from the original, allowing it to still feel like it’s own thing, you know what I mean? All in all I just hope it’s a good game, then we all win, cause we’ll have 2 good games. The OG and the Remake.
Excellent analysis! An "infection timer" would definitely call back to the original design doc for RE4 and add extra tension. My curiosity, however, is moreso aimed towards whether or not Mercenaries will return as an extra game mode. Considering Village has it -- and considering that game was big on homaging RE4 -- I would also be more than a little disappointed if this remake didn't include it. Your "melting pot of concepts" idea has my brain going at a mile-a-minute pace; I've been seeing so many callbacks to the hookman demo I camera angles, colour pallet and atmosphere, that I can't help but wonder if there will be some RE3.5 elements in the game as well? March 2023 can't get here soon enough!
RE4 is probably my favourite game of all time, next to MGS3 and DS1. Yet I absolutely agree on pretty much all of your suggestions for the remake. A different (less goofy) tone would actually be exactly what I hoped the original would be back in the day.
I love the beta look of Leon and Ashley from 3.5 or the hookman demos. I'm hoping we get some of the same weapons like the Sig P226 with laser. The Deagle Leon one handed. And the Ruger P95 that was his original starting handgun for the trial discs
@Good Hunter Your are spamming to bring out hate for a remake nobody has played yet. The chances of being great and RE3R levels are equally high, complaining won´t do much, only waiting.
@Good Hunter it's not healthy to obsessively spam toxic stuff in a desperate attempt for arguments. Take a break from social media. Like ,seriously. I got sucked into toxic bs online a few years ago and finally realized I was addicted to the adrenaline rush you feel from it. So take a break ,you'll feel better
@ashy Agreed, RE3R is just a somewhat incomplete RE3, it´s not even terrible, just a little bit trimmed down, shame about Nemesis´s behaviour getting watered down as well, but still, the original is still there and Code Veronica was a better game than 3 imo
I really really REALLY want them to make a faithful remake for RE3 in the near future, this is exciting and all and i'm sure this one gonna end up being faithful to the core, but please don't don't leave RE3 to us like this, RE3 deserves better remake
It's not gunna happen, as annoying as it is (RE3 is my favourite one) we've got to accept the game got royally shafted and they've already said they have no intention of going back to it. And truth be told i refuse to give them more money for content that should've already been in the game, if they do decide to release an updated edition. I hope RE4R is a good game for its fans but the salty RE3 fan in me is really hoping they given it the same treatment as RE3 and see if people are as dismissive as they were about RE3's missing content when it happens to RE4. But i also really hope its a good game for the people that enjoy it too.
I am curious to see what the parasite forms for the villagers and the Zealots are gonna look like, as well as the mutations for the bosses, like Mendez, Salazar, The U-3, (if It’s in the game.) Krauser, and of course Saddler. Also I have a theory about Ashley’s part in the story. I think that when Ashley is running through the village all by herself, that might be a chance for her to contact her father so he can send help to go get her. Because how else would the President know that his kid is in a remote part of Spain? That little plot hole in RE4’s story being unanswered, always bothered me.
I hope there's a playable section of Louise in this remake as well, on top of that I'd be happy if expanded Ashley sections either emphasized getting away from the monsters better, or just let her use a few improvised weapons.
It's really understandable how Leon would know Ada is involved with Wesker and know who he is. This takes place years after 2 and Code Veronica. Claire has also been feeding information to Leon the whole time part of this confirmed in Code Veronica. It's also not completely out of the way for him to join the secret service (not that hard to apply and no degree needed lol) and then from that point do extensive research on Umbrella between Claire and Chris
It really does seem like RE4 Remake will have more horror than its original. The atmosphere seems very eerie and they might have even decided to try and bring back elements for the original version of RE4, like that hallucination that chased Leon.
seriously, that'd be a huge bonus
personally, the only section that I really wanted them to redesign is the military section near the end of the game, everything else is fine
@@Codex_0613 the military section is still really good though.
@@Codex_0613 I kind of hated Salazar's giant robot thingy. There were a few sections I'd like to see changed. I really do hope It's more horror focused.
I find it interesting that RE2 and 3 were remade to have RE4’s gameplay, and now RE4 is getting remastered to have their atmosphere
@@charliechow7853 haha ferreal. Now that they’re probably done with remakes, I’m excited to see where they take the 3rd person games in the next ten years.. Unless we get a Code Veronica remake, which seems just as likely as getting a RE5 remake. Personally I just want a 3rd person game back in Raccoon City, doesn’t have to be Leon or Chris
everytime i think of re4, i think about my dad. i remember him playing this game on the ps2 when i was a kid with my mother on the side telling him everytime he missed an object or watching out for enemies for him lmao. this eventually birthed my interest for the franchise as a whole, and now it is something i hold very near and dear to my heart.
my dad passed away in 2009, and one of the few memories i have of him is his playthrough of the first few re games, mainly 4. the fact that i get to see the remake is both surreal, exciting and emotional, cause i genuinely wish my dad could be here to share my sentiment.
nevertheless, this game in particular holds a special place in my heart and is something that connects me to my dad. i will always be thankful for that, and i cannot wait to see the remake in full ❤️
😔 I'm very sorry for your loss!
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's great that you have those precious memories of him. I can imagine this remake will have a lot of emotions for you.
my dad also introduced to me RE4 to me i couldn’t imagine losing him i’m sorry for your loss
Maybe if you have kids you could pass this on them. Much like you and your father. The original as well.
he'll be sitting with you when you play :)
I really hope that they introduce Krauser in a better way. In the original RE4 he just turns up and we don't have a clue who he is but Leon just knows him from the past. Now we know about Operation Javier it would be cool to have a flashback or something included. Not everybody has played Darkside Chronicles so it would be an excellent way to introduce Krauser properly.
they could add like a sort of mission that is a remake of operation javier that is unlockable after beating krauser or something
@@ScoutTrooperMan I would love that, I doubt they would be it would be awesome
@@fruitymonkey8641 I heard that as well but I don't believe it, why would they remove Krauser it just doesn't make sense.
@@weskershades i doubt they do it too but it would be nice if they did that. either as a bonus mission or like a DLC hinting at perhaps a darkside chronicles/code veronica remake
It should play when Leon passes out for the first time by the lake. We wake up in a flashback of his missions before the events of re4 and each flashback shows what happened in that “saga” ending with krausers infection
killer insight and observations - nobody does it better!
would love to see the Leon parasite thing expanded. more stressful and anxiety inducing
also - the zealots look insanely creepy!
Eyyy Jake! How you doing? Did you get back healthy? I remember you were sick a few days ago
Hi big booty Baldino I still like dat big boot and Peter Coffin's socialised pet bird.
hey all its jake baldino
love your stuff jake
Cann not wait love re4
I hope that, while the horror elements are certain in this game, it at least keeps *some* of the campiness from the original
Leon: Saddler, you're small time!
Ashley: YEAH, GET HIM LEON!
Yeah.
whoweee, i hope they keep that mad tension and horror like in 7, and 8
The original RE4 is such a classic. It’s a total black sheep of the series for a few reasons - the campiness and reduced horror being the main Reasons - but it just works in its favour. You can totally tell that Devil May Cry is the game’s long lost brother
Don't forget the bingo line
I hope they fix the tank controls. That's what killed it for me originally.
It is insane to think that it's been more than 17 years since the original release. I still remember how graphically impressive it was back then and especially how revolutionary it was, daring to change the classic RE formula. I hope that this remake is up to its legacy, the legacy of being one of the best games of all time.
*looks at champagne bottle*
It's really been 17 years?
Yeah the graphics till this day is so good
@@spider-man5544 The graphics were fine for the time. The thing that makes it hold up so well is the art design.
@@Fedorevsky As a TH-camr by the name of "Bricky" once said, "Graphics are temporary, but art direction is forever."
Wow, 17 years? How strange.
This is quite possibly the best analysis of the game's trailer on TH-cam. It was a smart decision to wait and gather your thoughts unlike a lot of other channels who rushed out a video as fast as possible. Great work!
Thanks a lot!
Yess, that's what I love about this channel. She always puts out very detailed explanation & analysis videos which are always worth watching and listening to.
Was thinking the same thing. When it came to FFXVI, for example, as soon as State of Play was done, I saw one youtuber put out an analysis like 10-20 mins later. Kinda seemed like it might've been rushed out there. I definitely think it's better take your time and put out a proper video like this than push one out sooner than everybody. Good on you, Suzy.
@@TheSphereHunter Suze, have you played the RE4HD repack? It's like playing through a museum
@@TheSphereHunterI found your channel from going through random Bayonetta videos all you're content in entertaining interesting well thought and I'm happy you make content more good luck in the future I knew the moment I saw the new resident evil remake you'd have some thoughts and great as always
I honestly hope hunnigan has more of presence here. She'd balance the more intense horror focus out and act as a sort of comfort for the player hearing a friendly voice. I also liked she got more depth in 6, willing to risk her neck for Leon and Helena.
She'd be a good tension breaker for leon by bringing humor like the old re4
I wouldn't mind giving her more involvement just shy of the mgs codec. Scripted portions as usual with optional calls at different locations of interest.
@@krakenmckraken9128 that would be swell
And then the tension would spike significantly when Salazar jacks the comms.

A Luis playable section would be nice. Like when he dropped the sample and has to go get it in the castle. But he runs into saddler and has to run from some new enemy type....or something.
We fight Luis
Or, even better, a post-game mini campaign about him, starting before the arriving of Leon and ending with a mini boss fight with a mid-trasformation Saddler.
Just spitballing here, but man I'm so pumped for this announcement 😍
@@Zephyr_Weiss
What do you mean?
@@Zephyr_Weiss i have doubt that we have to fight him cause its not only leon who get the las plagas, maybe they planted that into luis body's too...
Luis is DLC material. I rather they focus more on improving Ashley's section and add the things originally intended for it in the original.
oh yeah, this is gonna be the first "remake" of a Resident evil game that will have the new type of enemies and not the usual zombies
wonder how they will handle em gameplay wise
I think it'll be good, given how RE8 did a good job with non-zombie like enemies
Village had plenty
the point is how the remake will differentiate it from the og, the other remakes are already RE4 style
Oh no... The regenerators... oh no.
I'm actually curious about the gore, these are not zombies, there are actual people.
The thing I look forward to the most about this remake is the use of lighting. The shot with the cult members in what looks to be the castle got me excited, imaging exploring the castle, but it’s dark and you can only see with the flashlight, just like Ashley’s section, and you hear the chants from the cult members in the dark. Love it.
Yeah maybe. It’s been done already though in several hallways in RE2R and in RE Village when you’re in the bowels of the castle.
How could they make that experience more unique or interesting? 🤔
I like the angle they're going for here with Leon, he has survivors guilt which is a very common thing to develop when you end up being one of the few survivors or only survivor of a traumatic event, and he probably believes that if he can bring Ashley back safely it will absolve him in some way of his guilt and the past "failure" as he deems it.
Emotional depth to a character like Leon is oh so good, i cannot wait to see more of this game!
I DON'T like that angle. Leon in the original RE4 was a complete badass because he trained for 6 straight years due what happened to him in Raccoon City. He never wanted to be that unprepared again, but what's THIS Leon's backstory? Seems like he CRIED for 6 straight years, cuz this Leon seems like a soft little emo puss to me...
I like that. Leon doesn't really go through a character arc in the original. The only struggle he goes through is removing the plaga in his body.
Well said, i do like the way they're handling this aspect of his character
Yeah, let's turn what used to be a cheeky fun romp into a dreary, po-faced slog. Goofy shit like Leon's cheesy one liners and being chased by a giant Napoleon statue was what made the game so damn memorable.
@@JustFun-ho6qy its really a shame that the remake will remove those elements from all the releases of the original game
Gotta admit, when I first heard they were doing a remake of RE4, I was skeptical. But now, after seeing that teaser, I’m very intrigued.
Same, I hope this will make Re4 good finally
@@NoNonsenseSpider amen
@@NoNonsenseSpider 😂
@@Lin_Eileen 😹
Looks like beneviento + dimitrescu x10 XD
I think the potential for them to elaborate on Krauser is really huge here. I'm super excited to see him be consequential beyond just being a random nemesis archetype
I hope Ashley also gets her own little inventory like she did when you played as her in RE4 but instead now she can heal you and hold onto any extra ammo you may have. I think the idea of her healing you up if your hurt in a fight would make her more useful as well.
Like Elizabeth in bioshock infinite?
Yeah, something like Revelations 2, where Natalia and Moira had a smaller inventory, but they could heal you from Bleeding, and stuff
@@sosaalexis48 Pretty much exactly like that!
@@Manbat440 yeah, that would be cool
good i dea i like it 👍
By the way on Ada’s outfit, she’s wearing a tactical turtleneck. And given the weather, that makes sense. But this change is also not bad because she still retains the same color to the dress seen in the original RE4.
We'll then have the red Chinese dress as an unlockable or pre-order costume, just like the RE2R Claire and RE3R Jill classic costumes.
TACTLENECK
What in the name of all fuck is the difference between a god damned common turtleneck sweater and a "tactical" one -
@@LovePotion_ I'd presume there is no difference and they're just calling it tactical because it sounds cool only other thing I could maybe think is if there really is some sorta difference it might be the term they use for the turtlenecks with a tight fitting neckline compared to the turtlenecks with those loose floppy necklines (since tight fitting means more tactical?) but I dunno sounds dumb to call a sweater (or any piece of clothing for that matter) tactical.
@@ZSleepingDragonZ If they do actually do that they'll probably add unnecessary shorts like how Jill got a skort or they'll do something dumb like instead of it being a dress they turn it into a romper with a skirt covering the bottom.
I hope they incorporate a lot more of the laboratory setting into the island section of the game. Less of the annoying gun fights and more of the terrifying monstrosities causing you complete panic in tight, dingy hallways. The thought of the updated regenerators is so exiting, especially with the new engine used.
I think the Island will be cut and replaced. A Lab would be fitting but perhaps a gothic lab
Wow, a lab. So original, never seen that before.
@@blackbastardofthewall8647 better than the island
@@captainjaber5610 NO. Not Nest all over again. The island is actually pretty unique. A military base that's degraded into a garbage dump because the mind-controlled soldiers don't bother with the upkeep anymore. The lab parts feel more organically integrated into the environment.
I'm still irked they completely replaced the Dead Factory in RE3 with Nest 2. I mean, really.
The island served as military base for Saddler to make war with whole world, i don't think replacing it is a good idea.
I think it’s interesting that for Leon and Ashley they’re using designs closer to 3.5. I think it goes to show that they figured if they’re making it more horror focused, why not dig into cut content from the original that was also more horror focused than the final game.
I’ll admit I’m still kinda in the camp of “RE4 doesn’t need a remake”, but if they’re going to anyways, I’m glad they’re doing some interesting things with it while still trying to keep a lot of what made it great to begin with.
One final thing is, there’s a very real chance that this game fixes the BIGGEST problem with the original: Leon losing his jacket after the first level. If it’s anything like RE2R we’ll get to unlock it on replay files. Since they already have the RE2R models lying around too I imagine we’ll probably also get the RPD costume for Leon again too which would be cool.
Couldn't agree more with this. I don't think RE4 needs a remake either (especially with that HD mod being completed recently), but if they're bringing it, it'll be cool to see what they do. Just hope it's more good than bad, to put it simply. And that they don't change too much.
And yeah, I hope we get to keep the jacket too. Lol.
I'm still in the camp of “RE4 doesn’t need a remake” however i know it's going to come no matter what so i just hope that's at least as good as RE 2 remake.
(I want to be wrong and i'm ok with being wrong :)
Nahh I actually want the jacket to be stolen by some ganado again. But this time, leon kills the ganado and can choose b/w wearing it again or letting it stay on the poor ganado's corpse

Since when are remakes supposed to be based off “need”? Other than original commercial success, better modern hardware, and profits?
RE4's entire village section and the first 3/4ths of the castle were really tense and gave a sense of dread. I hope they can find a way to carry that through the rest of the game in this remake. RE4 is my favorite game of all time and I'm really impressed with what they've shown so far. 2023 is going to be a great year for video games.
I'm really hoping we get to play as Luis when he goes looking for the medicine. It would make his ultimate demise all the more heart wrenching being attached to him as we play him.
Always kind of funny to me because Louis reminded me of my friend a lot. When Louis died I was saying my friends name.
At least a bonus mode with luis
One thing that concerns me, the whole plot of RE4 was that sadlers plan was to use ashley to infiltrate the whitehouse and infect more people with the plaga...but in this game those infected with the plaga look downright too monstrous for that plan to make sensed
Facts!
Mabye he could make a type of plaga that's more low-key like a control plaga but without the control. Or you know go the other route give the daughter back they'll know she's infected and will put her in quarantine where before they even come up with a plan to cure her she will mutate into some kind of monster and just break out

Much of the horror in Re4 was how many enemies they threw at you. You're constantly fighting for your life and I hope they keep that same design philosophy while also expanding on the much needed moments like the regenerators and change the way the parasites sprout from the ganados. like instead of completely exploding their head make it to where they sprout from their neck and their head is jagged and still visible.
i like that it was enuf to make you feel like o shit but not enuf to annoi you like it did in res 6
"change the way the parasites sprout from the ganados. like instead of completely exploding their head make it to where they sprout from their neck and their head is jagged and still visible." Maybe have a few pop from their stomachs.
@@Armendicus they already do, the zealot plagas sprout from the mouth and you could see the heads loosely move around

Bro just hearing chainsaws revving was horror enough 😆
I really wonder how they'll handle the Merchant, especially since they're going for a more realistic tone. I doubt he'll be able to die or seemingly teleport anymore lol. He'll probably be a bit more like the Duke from RE8, unkillable and only found in more sparce designated zones. Assuming they'll be making him more like the Duke, it would be cool if we could interact with him a bit more, he was always a fun character.
Part of the fun is that he's always in the oddest of places and has a lot of mystery surrounding him.
@@tcrpgfan yeah i don’t understand why people want him expanded. He fills his role just fine and expanding would only serve to make him worse
@@yakthekuza7296 I would like to see him expanded on but I feel you can do that while still keeping his character a mystery. And when I say expanded on I solely mean just a bit more interaction. Original Merchant was just there to buy and sell stuff, that is all. They managed to do the Duke and still keep his character mysterious and feel they can do the same with the merchant.
I believe the merchant from RE4 is from a merchant family and uses under ground tunnels and such to get around so fast might be why the Duke knows him if he came from a prestigious family of merchants and his skills of being in the right place at the right time
The Duke totally teleports, since he can enter rooms with doors way too small for him... maybe it's a special power of merchants.
If they expand the merchant with a minigame like the cooking stuff, I wonder what it will be.
I remember hearing that it was supposed to come out this year originally, so that they pushed it back and broke the yearly release they had kept since 2019 gives me hope that they really want this to be good.
I got RE4 on steam cause it was on sale and I never played it before. The same exact day the trailer for the remake comes out and I could not be more excited.
I beat the game last night and I loved it. Thanks for the amazing content. Without this channel I'm not sure I would've ever given the original RE, RE0, and RE4 a chance. All of which were great experiences.
I've been saying Hasta luego in Leon's voice for 17 years, I'm going to need that in the remake lol. On a more feature based note though, I would die if they added photomode to this: I wanted it so bad for the other remakes and we finally got it in 8 but it's not the best, I need to zoom in on every epic suplex when this game releases.
I am so excited for this remake; I feel like a 6yr old who's excited about a potential Christmas present, except I'm buying the present myself. This game will be such a terrifying trip down memory lane.
I can’t shake the image of Santa Claus delivering a rocket launcher down the chimney, as though it’s a climactic boss battle.
“Here! Use THIS!”
I feel exactly the same way. I haven't been this excited for a game in awhile.
We need the merchant as a playable character in Mercenaries. His loadout should be the most OP of all. Including Rocket Launcher, Chicago Typewriter and other OP weapons.
I'm all for that. Kinda like Wesker, we have to beat it with all the other characters first and get those STARS to unlock him.
100%

I’ve played RE4 more than I care to admit, and I’m sure other have played it even more- so this is why I’m a little surprised so many content creators didn’t think of RE4 when the Spanish ??ukulele?? kicked in. I heard “is this the last of us?” from multiple videos lmao. That opening driving scene is just hella iconic, because the tone is so strikingly different. It was an immediate “Yep, that’s resident evil 4” for me, even though I was in denial that it would be at state of play.
YES! I'm glad someone point this out. The ukulele with "uhe uhe" sound is so iconic!
Same
tbh I didn't know it was a Spanish instrument.
Awesome video. You got me a lot more excited about it. You spot all those little things I don't see, like gun models and costumes and all that.
Let's hope it's not RE3 remake right lol. Love that video.
“Whenever a new RE game is announced it’s like Christmas for me”

@@raidengoodman8754 Though I'm still waiting for a new Mega Man...
I don't even play RE games and I still get excited for them because I know youtubers and friends that do play them
At first, I wasn't too excited about RE4 remake because RE4 is a game that doesn't necessarily need a remake in my opinion. However, I'm excited to see how they will take the story this time around. Really want to see Leon's reunion with the presumed dead Ada from RE 2 remake have a greater impact and of course how they're going to tie in RE8 within the greater RE universe.
If it's being made by the team that made re2r, re7, and re8 I have total faith in their abilities. They have made all of my favorite RE games, with the exception of RER and the original 4.
I agree this game doesnt need a remake
@@ACM1PT95 neither did 1. I remember clearly back in the day people complaining they remade re1 until they played it.
@@farmsalot1233 well I'm sure this remake wont disappoint but I think a remake of RE1 and RE0 would be much better than re4
@@ACM1PT95 what re1 literally got a remake and zero also doesn't need one
I beat this game last month for the millionth time, this time on my Nintendo Switch and man… How? How is it possible that this game, to this day, is so fun to play from start to finish? If the remake is disappointing (Which I doubt) we will always have the classic RE4 for us
There's no way they would rush this game like that did with re3. This one was way more important to them and fans so they know to work on it more
This is the "a team" release like re2 was 3 was made by a sister "b squad" group and obviously they aren't the a team for a reason.
This SHOULD be of the quality of 2 though it's hard to say story / gameplay wise how it will compare to the original.
The way that Louis raises his gun in the shot of him in the trailer makes me think he might be a playable character in a segment
All I want is Adas playable story to be in the remake I love Ada she’s easily my favourite resident evil character
SAME I was thinking I really really want her story to be in it and not a dlc
Same i really want seperate ways to be exploring as ada in this dark and grounded re4 would be awsome
Watching this when Suzi streamed it was pretty funny. The way she got all excited about it and then just like crashed. It was funny to see someone just talk about it so passionately.
She streams??
@@phantomxx8384 yup, TheSphereHunter on twitch.
I love that they are retelling the story with more continuity. I expect RE4-R to have nods to Village/RE7 and RE2-R. Let’s hope for a Code Veronica remake next because we have to know what happens to Claire after RE2-R.
kinda wish they’d gone for Code Veronica first tbh. vastly overhauling a game a lot of people found unplayable woulda been pretty neat, RE4 is still playable and could’ve waited a little longer
They have to. They can't just do Leon's game and forget about Claire's.
What we really need next is a new game with Jill, she's been so underutilized
I’m honestly highly hopeful that RE4 remake will live up to its hype. It really appears to take itself a lot more seriously than the original game. Plus it really reminds me of what I’m doing in my personal life outside of gaming.
Years ago, I wrote this book and published it. It was known as “Road Ranger’s Rise.” It’s a story about betrayal and brutal justice. However I wrote it in a way that doesn’t take itself seriously enough. For example the beginning of the story shows the main character participate in a huge battle which doesn’t actually have much to do with the main story. The main character in question, who is an Army Ranger, was to be shown as the sole survivor of that battle.
In this new rewrite of the book, there is no big battle in the beginning. Instead it shows the main character contemplating in his car. He goes over his memories of his deployments as an Army Ranger, his tragedy of his mother dying from a gunshot wound, and him being told that the law won’t do anything about what he suffered. He even talks to himself (without actually talking I should say) about taking matters into his own hands. He takes a gun out of his glove compartment, loads it, and you just know he’s about to do something nasty. This part of the story that acts as the opening is also chronologically in the middle of the story. Though it’s shown through the perspective of the protagonist. However after the opening first chapter, the second chapter goes back 48 hours before this event. The midpoint of the story, the same area that takes place in the opening first chapter, has a perspective switch of an important person to the main character who is revealed to be the traitor in his life.
This is what RE4 original and RE4 remake really reminds me of. And honestly, I’m extremely excited.
Edit: The new rewrite of the book is not called “Road Ranger’s Rise.” It’s simply titled as “The Road Ranger.”
There are so many elements im excited to see in this game especially Character Design.
Definitely happy as hell they're going with his 3.5 design. Always preferred the poofy bomber jacket over what we got in the final version of RE4 lol. And the best part is, if this game's anything like the RE2 Remake and RE3 Remake, we should be able to change his outfit at any point in the game, being able to FINALLY wear the jacket through the whole game lol.
There is no RE2 and RE3 remake.

My dream scenario involves an extended Ashley section as a primer but I would also love to see Separate Ways incorporated into the main game as well as a playable Luis chapter sort of like Carlos' mission through the hospital in RE3R.
If it means beefing this up to 30+ hours, I will be there for all 30+ because this is sounding more and more epic. I don't want things being cut this time either.
In the OG re4 its mentioned in some documents that Luis knows shortcuts to and from the Village..would love to see those in the remake.
@@ZenMonkeyGod as awesome as that sounds and I want it to be true, let's remember to be realistic in our expectations. we should expect the game to be at least minimum the same length as the original version, so around 15 hours. But if it is as cut down as 3's remake (as much as I like that game) it would be a tragic waste. 30 hours might be on the too extreme side because remember, the original game has some of the best pacing out there with it's only real lag moment being on the final Island, and 30 hours could be stretching it even for a remake.
I hate to say it, but I expect the game to be more polished but alot shorter.
We'll be getting less content, not more.. unfortunately.
@@4eyeT While I absolutely loved both Re2 and 3's remakes, they both had quite a bit missing so if RE4 got the same treatment, I wouldn't be surprised. In their now deleted comment, 30h seems highly optimistic and far too long if I'm honest. LoU2 clocked in around 25h in my first run and that was with essentially two full campaigns. I can't think of other Action Horror games that even come close to that time. I think Evil Within 2 is a closer comparison to RE4 and even that one only passed 15h due to some backtracking side quests which I can't see them putting into this remake.
Nobody I've seen has mentioned so i wanted to point it out: the outfit Ada is wearing is reminiscent of her Mercenaries outfit, wich is in itself an "updated" version of her RE2 look.
Looks like sniper Claire from revelations 2 too
Very good observation
Honestly, I really liked the fact that most enemies in OG RE4 looked very human, made it really creepy at the time to fight human faces with dialog even, instead of mindless zombies.
I always enjoy hearing Sphere’s analysis about anything Capcom. But this is RE4, Capcom’s holy grail of games. Please don’t mess it up. ( I swear they better keep The Merchant in the game)
Edit: and they did, yay
Considering the Duke in RE8 apparently mentions the Merchant from RE4, I think it’s very likely the Merchant will be present in the Remake.
@@xySuperManxy after the changes in RE3, I get nervous.
As a long time re fan going back to 96.... 4 is probably my least favorite (well next to 6) but I always like the promise of 4 just couldn't get down with the humor / gameplay changes (5 did the same but to me did it "right") so being able to finally experience 4 story but through a lense that looks much more in line with the other games in the series so far has me pumped.
I know you're probably younger and played this game during a very nostalgia driven time frame in your life so its easy to look past / enjoy the low bar humor and action stuff but to me RE was always a very serious kind of game very intense and something that had you spooked and sweating not laughing your ass off. With the remakes leaning HEAVILY into what got me into the series to begin with (and being huge success in doing so) I'm really hoping they can do 4 but the proper way this time. Even Makami has said how they rushed the original and didn't put much thought into it so nows the chance to do it right.... Let's hope it delivers.
@@predetor911 The remake of RE3 was originally intended to be DLC for RE2. The game director for RE3 remake, I believe, said that if he knew going in it was going to be released as a full game, he would have added more content.
No way they would remove one of the most iconic parts of the original game. I bet he's gonna be revealed in a later trailer in a dramatic fan service shot.
I'm loving the darker tone of the game with the moonlight in the background and the fog. Capcom outdid themselves with RE2 Remake visuals and details. No doubt this'll be awesome!
That game was ok nothing special and it wasn't a remake.
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 It was a remake. A remake is when you take an older game, and remake. It's a remake by definition.
Completely agree with you, RE4 is my absolute favourite with RE2 remake being a close second.
One thing I hope is left in is the chicken eggs 🥚 especially the gold ones lol
Another that would be awesome would be translated subtitles for the Ganados, cause they had some funny lines when you know what they are saying. Other things I'm looking forward to are Nick's performance as this Leon, so happy they kept his gorgeous face model from RE2.
Also our good friend, Merchant, the giants (bet they are gonna be terrifying), Salazar boss fight, the chainsaw sisters... So much to list lol bring on March!
I like re2 remake a little bit more but i understand and respect your opinion.
This year has been so good for me when it comes to gaming, and especially towards remakes. With Sega's House of the Dead 1&2 getting remakes with the first one being pretty good, and Max Payne 1 and 2 getting remakes by their ORIGINAL studio and not Rockstar and now this? This year just keeps getting better than ever.
High five on Max Payne 1-2 remake.
"This keeps getting better and better" - Dante DMC 3
Max Payne was really good games
What's funny it's that I was playing through the max payne trilogy when the remakes got annouced and now I'm playing through re4 and a remake is annouced
I can’t wait to see what they do with Luis, the remakes have been really good at making side characters memorable and good, like Marvin and Carlos.
Amazing breakdown and theory’s!
Makes me even more keen on the game.
Love the idea of Leon becoming visually more infection as the game goes on and then overcomes the infection to fight Saddler
As much as I don't want anything cut, I'm all for limiting the island in favor for the village and castle. I've beaten RE4 like 10 times and it's always a dread playing through the island, the quality just isn't there compared to the other areas.
Agreed. The Island section is just tedious and it goes on for too long.
Only good thing there are the regenerators
@@waksteraltboiii and oven man
They should add Hookman in the island too
I am actually fine with them cutting the island. Just a drag of an area
Cutting things out should NEVER happen. Shinji did it right. Have everything a ADD to it, if something wasn't that good (island) than leave it all in but do it BETTER. Keep it all and ADD to it. I fear capcom will screw this up.
I'm one of those newbie RE players who only got into the games with the remakes, and let me tell you, your breakdowns of these trailers and the games gives me so much more appreciation for them. I didn't experience the originals, but hearing how much they mean to you and your takes on how they should influence the remakes is always amazing. You help me feel hype for a game I know very little about. Thank you so much for helping this newbie enjoy the series so much more.
I hope you one day get to experience the unadulterated joy of RE5 & 6 the crazy 2-player co-op shenanigans.
I honestly hope they take as many liberties with this remake as possible. The OG RE4 is so good and has held up so well that I’d rather have a new experience with this remake instead of being extremely faithful to the original.
Lmao imagine this one is the one they choose to remain faithful though?
Not only that but its quite possibly the best opportunity to reimagine such a game, considering how accessible the original is. It'll be on ps5, Xbox Series X and PC as well alongside the remake.
I just replayed it with the high res mod and it was just as great as ever.
People didn't like the liberties they took with RE3R so I think this one will probably be toned back quite a bit
They can't simply cut Krauser though like a leak suggested.
These are exactly the kinds of videos I’ve been looking for. The hype of this game is absolutely unreal for me. This has been my favorite game since I was like 7, I’m 23 now and this is the first time I get to experience a *remake* of a game that I actually know really, really well. The fact that there is a fanbase like this makes it so much more exciting because I get to watch things like this and talk about it. I absolutely cannot wait for the next trailer or screenshots or a demo or anything. I can’t wait.
Funny thing about the Village Chief, When RE4 was first coming out back in the day, given his look I thought he was going to be an actual Mr. X Tyrant, but left for years without Umbrella's control or instructions and was able to develop his own mind. Was kind of disappointed that it was just coincidence that he looked similar.
I thought the same agree with what u say there being a connection between them was a missed opportunity
I'm very excited at the possibility of having a playable section as each of the main side characters, Like Ashley as a prologue of sorts which ends in her getting captured and taken to the village church, Ada is pretty much a given at some point but I'm most excited about playing as Luis inside the castle before he gets killed, I hope he gets a bigger role in the game since I've always liked his character a lot.
I sure hope this all comes to fruition. I never understood why we had to play as Ashley rather than Luis. Her section is the only part of the original I didn't like.
@@ZenMonkeyGod I liked Ashley's section in the Gamecube release due to the suplex bug, after they took that out in subsequent re-releases, it made that part way less enjoyable.
@@GFMarine I had to check and see. That's hilarious. I never owned it on Ganecube, only PS2. I hope playing as her is more user friendly this time around!
@@ZenMonkeyGod Same here.
I really think it’s possible this game is reimagined in a similar way to RE6 (different campaigns, different styles). If nothing else, we’re likely getting 3 different perspectives and play styles (Leon, Ashley, Ada). It’s not much of a reach to think each character could tackle a different gameplay style (action, hide & seek, stealth). Village also did this with the houses being different stylistically, on top of Chris leaning way more in to the action FPS.
I love exploring RE storylines. Can't wait to see Nicole Tompkins play it. Her current playthroughs don't have enough screams and panic in them 😁
That first image you displayed saying it was quite hard to tell where it came from, is most definitely the path you take to initially get to the village. ✌️
Love this vid you put into words how I feel about this game it’s what started the love of resident evil games for me and my favorite character Leon! I’m way hyped and hope the remake does the original proud!
I feel like we’re going to get the chance to play Ashley when Leon gets knocked out by the Big Cheese after meeting Luis.
First of all: NEEEEERRRRRD!!! 😆
But secondly, that's what I seriously love about you and this channel. I wish I had that kind of love and passion for... well... ANYTHING! Thank you, for putting out these videos and can't wait for your deep-dive once it releases!
Having played 7 and 4 in VR, I feel like Resident Evil is the perfect franchise for it! Really excited, though I’m mostly just impatient for that Village DLC 😭
I have this sneaking suspicion that the island is going to be redesigned the most unlike the village and castle that will probably just get higher details and more design added and Im completely fine with that especially if it means less crossbow enemy's lol.
The original island section was horrible
@@strepsillover9112 I wouldn't say it was horrible but the part that really sucked was when the chopper came in for backup, that and everything after was just not enjoyable. The regenerators were fun because it felt more horror based and they were an actual threat unlike the crossbows which are just annoying threats, and the part were Ashley drove the vehicle wasn't great either.
If I were Capcom I'd just cut the island entirely, replace it with 2-3x more village/castle. Maybe put in a new section in the surrounding woods, since Leon doesn't have to be stuck on a footpath now like the original. There's simply nothing redeeming about the island, no good reason to include it over simply having more of the definitely good areas. And we saw what Dev 1 did with Heisenberg's factory... they've done good work on everything else, but I don't trust them to make the island fun.
@@aceflibble Well, the island is the only part of the remake that's up in the air and I think it would be weird to have the content from island shoehorned into village or castle. I don't think they'd remove the regenerators, and they still need some lore path to removing the plagas from Ashley and Leon in the 3rd act of the game. The island or something akin to a research base that the cult operates is probably how they'll handle it.
@@avengedknot3698 The only part I liked was the regenerators, the rest was horrible and that's my opinion.
It's literally my favorite game being remade into something (hopefully) better and a perfect review with my favorite voice in all TH-cam. Great!
I actually like slowly knifing enemies on the ground rather than insta stomping them. It's better if there's a chance for them to come up so you're always pressured to continue knifing.
Kinda sucks when there's a group of them and you're trying to knife one before the others gang up on you. Or maybe some people enjoy that tension as it's kind of a horror-game thing? I dono
@@jmarra07 To each their own I guess. But yeah, it's all about the pressure which makes it better. The player is supposed to find a way to counter the ganging up. Although too much pressure isn't good but with the knives, it's a must for horror games, I'd say. Personally I'm not so fond of stalker type of enemies. Like, okay, Mr X can appear and hunt you, and I'm fine with that and it's a good thing but he hunts for too long that it's interfering with exploration because I always end up scared lol. Then again, that isn't bad and it could be avoided if I knew the map properly but usually I end up at the same place because I'm not sure where to run and in turn I constantly meet Mr X and end up even more confused and tense. For me I'd add the option to add notice stickers on our in game map to help us in our escape. I doubt they will ever implement it though.
@@projectfear22 You might want to give the original versions a try, cause the stalker types can't follow you through doors or up ladders, and the layout is mostly the same, so when you go back to the remakes, you know where to run and hide?
Realistically he should just stomp them to finish it quickly, or one quick knife attack, but can you imagine finding Leon just slicing up a person on the ground until they die lol
@@MrLachapell Yeah I get it, but often times gameplay beats realism. That's why we love Crash and Medievil so the tension created during repetitive slices as you watch other enemies approach is a good thing for survival horror.
One thing that would be really awesome is if they have an unlockable costume where you play as Leon and Ashley with their mutated plaga forms. I've always wondered what they'd look like, and pondered how different it'd be than Krauser's. Also, give those forms some awesome moves like Krauser's re4 ability in mercenaries mode. That would be so awesome.
well krauser is a different story, since he is probably infected with the veronica virus as well
I hated the island so I'm hoping they make huge changes to that. One of my questions is whether it will have new game plus like the original. The remakes of 2 and 3 didn't but they never did in the originals either.
Resident Evil 5 does need a remake, especially in the story. They need to make it so that Jill is defeated earlier and joins Chris in takin down Wesker instead of Sheva. Jill most of all is the one that deserves to stick it to Wesker for all those years of using her as a guinea pig.
Or hell, give Jill her own separate campaign in the vein of Separate Ways instead of that short-ass game mode with Josh.
@@LOKITYZ We also need more Josh.
@@LOKITYZ Jill needs a heck of a lot more love. But i dont want them bringing back the Remake 3 design. Her Remake 1 and RE5 look is perfect. She also needs her own post RE5 game. She's the only MC that has no history whatsoever in the 2010's in-universe.
We need more boulder punching glory
Great video!! I really hope that the game is a tad longer with more of the story incorporation, and i hope they do Mr. Merchy justice. That NPC is one of the most exciting bits for me, and I hope Leon says at the end of the game to Ashley "Hold on tight sweetheart". That would be everything.
You’re the only person that’s covered this trailer that has seen all of these details and actually thought of plausible things that might be added we had a lot of opinions in common and I’ll be subbing to keep up with your content it’s hard to find people this passionate about RE4
I still can't believe this is real... It feels like yesterday when i was a kid and played RE4 for the first time. My god this is just too good... Also we will have the next gen patches for RE2R, RE3R and RE7 to make the wait less painful. Such a good time to be a Resident Evil fan.
Unlike certain older games, the original RE4 is far more accessible compared to Silent Hill 1-3, and original RE 1-3. So, in this case were if one doesn't like the RE4 Remake, "the original is ALWAYS there for you to enjoy" angle perfectly applies. While, I also feel original RE4 still holds up very well in comparison to modern 3rd person shooters, I also welcome the remake, because hey, it's absolutely wonderful having 2 versions of one of the greatest games ever made. ;-)
As a massive RE fan who happens to be from Spain, one of my hopes for this remake would be Capcom using actual Spanish actors for the classic villagers line, in the original they all sound more Latin American which always bugged me. Can any native English speaker confirm if Luis' accent sounds more Latin American or Spanish?
In the old game, I immediately thought of Spain. In the new one could be it or.
Ya es hora de asplastar.
Mi amigo Español que vive en Barcelona me dice lo mismo. I hope they do hire Spaniard voice actors this time.
I hope they not!! It was part of the charm of the original, to be honest. Morir es vivir!!!
They definitely sound latin and not Spainard you're right
This video showed me so much that I missed from the trailer. I'm so excited for this. I never aged the original games but I've watched so many videos from you and others that I feel like I had to chance to experience them too.
Another fantastic analysis. I actually can’t wait for this game. Thanks for the video, Suz!
After playing RE1, 2 and 3, plus CV… back in the day… I have to say I never got quite warm with RE4, despite seeing what it did / contributed gaming wise, or on a technical level.
But I have to admit I’m very excited to give it another chance. 😁
More Reeeeeesi… 😍
In Spanish, r's are only rolled when it is a double r, or the r is at the start of the word. For "Sera", you'd just want a 'tapped' r. Anyway I loved this video, it got me so hyped!
RE4 is my favorite game of all time, beat it on most versions of it's releases, well over a million points in all Mercenary modes, 100% completion with all secret scenes/deaths etc... and everything I've seen so far of the remake makes me so excited, I don't really want a 1-1 perfect remake with updated graphics, I want enough to make it feel the same but with new content, a retelling of the story.
I do hope Mendez serves as a more chasing and hunting type enemy to be honest. Not much as Mr. X on RE2 but let's say you have to meet him in specific parts where you sneak but if you get spotted, he chases you until you lose him.
No I hated that. Forced stalker enemies are boring and often-times just invulnerable globs that follow you and it destroys exploration for those sections.
@@keloing923 I mean, we already know his time in the story comes to an end. So, being able to return to those sections would be entirely possible later on.
@@ZenMonkeyGod it literally wouldn't add anything at all. You meet him twice and you get KO'd the first and run off the second time. Then he ambushes you the third and final time. You literally have no time to even run from him as there are chapter changes between. People are forgetting all the chapters and saved there are in Re4. You would literally have to break the game up into 5 sections THEN there's about 5 Sub sections within the 5 chapters. It's not gonna work like that unless they take out plot points, areas, meet up points with Ashley's and Luis sections.
I LOVE your videos! I’m very excited for this release and hope it’s on par (or better than) with RE2 Remake. I’m crossing my fingers for Ada’s story to be retained and expanded on too!
I really like the redesigns so far. Wonder how they will handle the Merchant and his iconic lines.
I'm all favor to get rid of Qtes in the cutscenes and the boulder. For me, is really anonying/frustrating to die because you pressed the wrong button or didnt mashed your soul out hard enough.
Great video and analysis as always Suzi.
I have a hunch that there will be some additions to the story/lore to tie the events of RE4 to Village. Having played both in quick succession, I was really surprised at just how much the Cadou has in common with Las Plagas, and there are a lot of visual similarities in late game enemies, like when Chris faces Urias with all the tentacles coming out of his back. Or even Miranda's Spider Form looks shockingly similar to Saddler's final form. I strongly suspect that Las Plagas will be re-jigged to be some kind of off-shoot of the Megamycete. The mysterious emblem looks shockingly similar to the emblems seem throughout Village, too!
I think this will age very well
@@aristonaragao3171 I'm totally ready to be wrong and be totally surprised 😅
I'm just hoping nothing gets cut this time. Because Half of RE2 was missing in RE2R, so y'know... That complaint about RE3 is valid but it can also be levelled at 2.
I’m excited the most for what the Regenerator will look like. That was the scariest moment in the game for me.
Me too. That and the garrador. I'm hyped for those 4(3 if you count the iron maiden and armored variants respectively).
Iron Maiden version must be more intimidating
Also how about remake verdugo & U3 design getting updated too 👍
Oh my god 😈
Can't wait for El Gigante
Made me luagh when she said no more endless up-skirts for Ashley. Like we don't all know modders will lewd her the moment the game drops. Regardless of that I'm very exited for this remake.
I wonder if Ethan and Leon will ever meet in a future original RE game. There's no connection between them besides Umbrella, but there are similarities in their story and journey. It would be interesting if Capcom tied their story arcs together somehow, but RE9 is meant to be Ethan's finale so it would have to be in that one.
I still have Original Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube thankfully I hope the reimagining is scarier than original .
Definitely looking forward to this game, I actually kind of hope it’s not just a 1 to 1 recreation but instead go the RE2 Remake route, where they take the blueprint of the original and build upon it and improve it, but does enough to differentiate itself from the original, allowing it to still feel like it’s own thing, you know what I mean?
All in all I just hope it’s a good game, then we all win, cause we’ll have 2 good games. The OG and the Remake.
Excellent analysis! An "infection timer" would definitely call back to the original design doc for RE4 and add extra tension. My curiosity, however, is moreso aimed towards whether or not Mercenaries will return as an extra game mode. Considering Village has it -- and considering that game was big on homaging RE4 -- I would also be more than a little disappointed if this remake didn't include it. Your "melting pot of concepts" idea has my brain going at a mile-a-minute pace; I've been seeing so many callbacks to the hookman demo I camera angles, colour pallet and atmosphere, that I can't help but wonder if there will be some RE3.5 elements in the game as well? March 2023 can't get here soon enough!
Re3. 5 characters Hookman and super dynamite man should reappear
RE4 is probably my favourite game of all time, next to MGS3 and DS1. Yet I absolutely agree on pretty much all of your suggestions for the remake. A different (less goofy) tone would actually be exactly what I hoped the original would be back in the day.
I love the beta look of Leon and Ashley from 3.5 or the hookman demos. I'm hoping we get some of the same weapons like the Sig P226 with laser. The Deagle Leon one handed. And the Ruger P95 that was his original starting handgun for the trial discs
I'm very curious if they will keep the charm from the original or focus more on the horror aspect from what they've teased so far.
@Good Hunter Your are spamming to bring out hate for a remake nobody has played yet.
The chances of being great and RE3R levels are equally high, complaining won´t do much, only waiting.
@Good Hunter it's not healthy to obsessively spam toxic stuff in a desperate attempt for arguments. Take a break from social media. Like ,seriously. I got sucked into toxic bs online a few years ago and finally realized I was addicted to the adrenaline rush you feel from it. So take a break ,you'll feel better
@ashy Agreed, RE3R is just a somewhat incomplete RE3, it´s not even terrible, just a little bit trimmed down, shame about Nemesis´s behaviour getting watered down as well, but still, the original is still there and Code Veronica was a better game than 3 imo
I wish they'd tread both like in Village! Please RE god's! Please!
@Good Hunter god I hope not!
Some incredible predictions here!
I really really REALLY want them to make a faithful remake for RE3 in the near future, this is exciting and all and i'm sure this one gonna end up being faithful to the core, but please don't don't leave RE3 to us like this, RE3 deserves better remake
It's not gunna happen, as annoying as it is (RE3 is my favourite one) we've got to accept the game got royally shafted and they've already said they have no intention of going back to it. And truth be told i refuse to give them more money for content that should've already been in the game, if they do decide to release an updated edition.
I hope RE4R is a good game for its fans but the salty RE3 fan in me is really hoping they given it the same treatment as RE3 and see if people are as dismissive as they were about RE3's missing content when it happens to RE4. But i also really hope its a good game for the people that enjoy it too.
I am curious to see what the parasite forms for the villagers and the Zealots are gonna look like, as well as the mutations for the bosses, like Mendez, Salazar, The U-3, (if It’s in the game.) Krauser, and of course Saddler. Also I have a theory about Ashley’s part in the story. I think that when Ashley is running through the village all by herself, that might be a chance for her to contact her father so he can send help to go get her. Because how else would the President know that his kid is in a remote part of Spain? That little plot hole in RE4’s story being unanswered, always bothered me.
It’s kinda crazy how much you managed to predict from this, lol
I hope there's a playable section of Louise in this remake as well,
on top of that I'd be happy if expanded Ashley sections either emphasized getting away from the monsters better, or just let her use a few improvised weapons.
It's really understandable how Leon would know Ada is involved with Wesker and know who he is. This takes place years after 2 and Code Veronica. Claire has also been feeding information to Leon the whole time part of this confirmed in Code Veronica. It's also not completely out of the way for him to join the secret service (not that hard to apply and no degree needed lol) and then from that point do extensive research on Umbrella between Claire and Chris
