*_Thee OG Ashley_* 💯💯💯 *_Nostalgia hits like bricks, first time experience being the white knight in shining armor treatment_* . *_Damn Resident Evil 4 was addictive to me; as much as Angels snorting up pride; my masculinity was on overdrive_* . *_I mastered that game completely on 3-hours of sleep, playing it straight through for weeks at a time every secret and upgrades you name it_* . *_Bloody hell the thought alone of being a knight in shining armor, fuels me to bench press relentlessly_* .
One change I liked was her reasoning for running away. OG Ashley coughs up blood and then pushes Leon away when he tries to comfort her. Remake Ashley runs because she’s afraid of hurting Leon and that ya know- ACTUAL MAKES SENSE
How do you know the reason she did it wasn't literally the same, but that it simply wasnt as obvious in the og due to... y'know, technical limitations.
@@raielle I get what you’re saying but honestly I can’t see how technical limitations played a factor because the animation and style of the original still holds up. Like I watched a comparison a while back and while obviously everything is improved in the remake, the animation of the original was still top tier. Nah for me, it just comes down to the writing. While I feel it is intentional for OG Ashley being a lot more bratty and helpless, even saying to Luis “I’m the president’s daughter💅🏽” in a way that feels like she’s playing up that status, it just didn’t receive well with most audiences at the time of release. Like I felt the frustration that anyone would have when OG Ashley ran away when Leon was just looking out for her. I like how remake Ashley just had a better set up as to why she would take off. It just works better and I end up feeling more sorry for her in her condition.
@@AMCSymbiote What i meant more of was the limitations in tech insofar as what they could or could not fit within the disc. I.E. Final Fantasy 7 taking place across 3-4 discs. I'm sure the writing also effected things, as I do remember being frustrated at specifically 'how' she kept getting caught, but sort of like in a movie where they have to cut scense, or games where some plot points get abandoned, it may simply have been due to something as banal as 'not enough disc space'
@@raielle We also have to take into account that the plot for OG RE4 was done in 2-3 weeks. Basically rushed thereby some moments can be kinda goofy and nonsense lol
@@eltemplariodetierrasanta7234if I remember correctly after trying to make this game three times already, Shinji Mikami just wrote something in a rush and told the team to make a fun, not scary game to go along with it. Honestly the development of the original RE4 is crazy, how it seemed like a game that was destined to never be released but it came out and became a cultural phenomenon
I like how that they address Luis death, especially Ashley reaction to it, in Og she just walk past his dead body and they was no acknowledgement of his death at all.
Absolutely this. They turned OG Ashley from a whiny bratty snobby, albeit scared girl, to a still scared but brave and growing-in-confidence young woman. I love that you don't need to help her jump down from every jump anymore, that her only option of protection is hiding in a dumpster, or that she is callous about Luis. I have to mention that they turned Luis into someone spectacular too. OG Luis, the only times you saw him were near beginning, at cabin, at castle entrance, and his death. He had seriously barely any impact, and when he died he was easily forgotten, easily seen in how Ashley doesn't even acknowledge it really. New Luis fits well alongside Ashley, he's more interactive, and when he dies, Ashley actually feels sad about it. Then, when they get cured, Ashley hails Luis's post-mortem ingenuity. It's like thank you, for taking two of the most forgettable or unlikeable characters in the game, and really building them sky-high and making them a joy to have around.
@@rhysiare New Ashley just runs around like an idiot getting hurt or captured, it was so useful in the old one to tell her to hide. She's more vulnerable now and can't defend herself, she still relies on Leon so I don't know what you mean.
I really like how Capcom shows affection of parasite in Remake. In OG Leon and Ashley almost didn't suffer from Plaga whereas in remake they are actually suffering from it.
Aside from Leon passing out and coughing blood? Leon choking Ada? Ashley also coughing up blood? The black veins on Leon? The original did show the symptoms very well, you're talking like they were just fine all the time, the remake did put a bit more of emphasis on it but let's not act like the OG didn't show anything.
I loved how in the remake, Ashley was gradually growing more used and composed about the situation she found herself in. At the church, she was freaking out and once we get spotted, she cries out in fear. As the game progresses, Ashley, much like Leon, begins to cope with the situation. Either putting up a strong front, like telling a Regenerator to “bring it” or using humor like Leon. I liked how instead of freaking out all the time, she instead adapted, wanting to become more useful to Leon, and even cracking some jokes about Leon needing her help and how good she became at helping him.
Yeah. Some people say OG Ashley is better because she's the president's daughter and damsel in distress so her being panicky and useless for the most part, if not all the time, fits as if she couldn't--or _shouldn't_--cope and adapt to the situation.
RE4: it’s my job and this bratty child is bratty because she was kidnapped against her will. RE4REMAKE: she sure seems fine about being t. So fine in fact that she’s barely scared about anything going on.
@@harvestercommander3250 And how that explains how a girl feels more than valiant while being surrounded by monsters, having one inside her body and being filled with some black liquid? Leon went through unfathomable nightmare, his composure is justified. If Ashley would be like Sherry, a girl with difficult past, it would be understandable, but for a girl raised under parent's umbrella, she accomodated to the situation unbelievably fast or maybe it is parasite's influence.
@@sanjyuu2298 anyone who thinks that doesn’t know what they are talking about. One can be pretty calm in a situation, as frightening as it is. You are not entirely correct.
@@sanjyuu2298 its weirder to be bratty about being captured. you should be scared not bratty, and she isnt valiant at all the entire time, she shows fear and terror some of which original ashley didnt display that much
Not gonna lie it was that scene that really sold me on her. I could just tell how brave and yet scared she was. I won't lie I miss the campy ashley but new ashley is wayyy smexier
Yeah agreed lol I made the mistake of playing and finishing re4 Re on hardcore difficulty. 😅 so my ashley got screamed at in a lot of scenes. Wasn't until afterward I did an assisted run 2nd playthrough. I had ZERO stress and could just enjoy everything way more. Plus, ashley, no jacket is soooo much cooler. You can actually see the plaga progress through her right from the church scene
Saddler: We want to send the President's daughter back to the US so she can infect the President Also Saddler: orders his Zealots to fire arrows at her Also Saddler: Could of just kept quiet about his plans and let Leon take Ashley home so she can infect everyone there without them ever finding out about it.
lol Thank you, I have been saying this since the original game, why the hell didn't they just let Leon rescue her if the plan was to have her be a sleeper agent in the white house and infect her father?
That’s one thing the remake actually fixed. Saddler doesn’t reveal his plans and he’s kept secret the whole game. They don’t even see him until the end. The remake made the story much better.
And some sort of superhuman given she managed to put Leon on that chair even know he had like 10 weapons on him, she’s the fuckin she hulk or something ha ha
Really? Insufferable Little Brat? Original Ashley actually did what you told her to do. Come to a new area, see a dumpster, be like "Bitch, dumpster", and she gets in it and stays there until you call her back out after finishing the area's enemies. You can tell her to stay put in another part of the map while you go and deal with enemies and they most likely won't even bother her. Enemies can't mess with her while she's in the dumpster too. Remake Ashley will actually come out of a locker sometimes while combat is still going on even though you told her not to, you also cannot tell her to stay put, it's either follow close or follow far, and during the latter she will get close to enemies and get grabbed very quickly. Bravery? Original Ashley stood up to Luis when he commented about her ballistics, and literally told Leon that she is not becoming one of those things at one point, while remake Ashley was more rude towards Luis than brave and had to be ensured of her own survival by Leon. Resilient? Original Ashley had her own health bar (Which could be extended) and could tank a few hits from enemies before dying, we're talking crossbow bolts, axes, flails and maces, and will still follow Leon if still alive. Remake Ashley will fall down and stay down from a single hit from a Ganado and will die from another hit if incapacitated, which makes managing her in the remake more frustrating. Confident? Original Ashley not once had complained about the situation she was in, even during her playable section. Remake Ashley on the other hand complains a lot (Not that I blame her). Genuinely Caring Young Woman? Did you miss the parts in original RE4 after Ashley hugged Leon after being reuniting with him and even asking if Leon was ok after the boss fight against Mendez? Or how about the scene when Ashley says to Leon "I thought you were gonna die!" after Leon goes through tremendous pain having the parasite removed from him. Yes, that's in the original game too.
The thing that nobody mentions is the little interactions during the gameplay and how they check if they’re ok or how Ashley get scared. I played the original right after finishing the remake and there was a lot of long awkward silent moments during gameplay, which made her feel like more of an NPC rather than an actual human.
Technical limitations that time, compared to the RE Engine era ofc it has a long gap. But of course it doesn’t justify Ashley’s “poor” written character in the OG (which actually understandable since Mikami only wrote the story 2-3 weeks).
There's a ton of little details in the game. After you get rid of the parasite you go into the amber colored ritual cave and if you're a bit ahead of Ashely she'll climb up the little platforms on her own but if you stay near her for that part Leon will help her up.
Remake Ashley is far superior. She's competent, sweet, and sympathetic, whereas the original Ashley came off as rather bratty and unlikable at times. Although, having Carolyn Lawrence voice her was a nice plus back then.
Yeah she is far superior in Remake in every aspect, she is truly gorgeous and I really loved her personality, the way she care for Leon even during her own critical moment actually moved me quite much Though I not hated her much in Original, just like another little brat to me
I like that we’re seeing Leon kinda move away from his reliance on Ada. It makes both him and Ada have more depth and quite frankly makes more sense for their characters given they’ve only interacted a few times
That he'd be angry at her for making him like her and then playing him the whole time is also very reasonable. His parents must have taught him right, that once someone forfeits your trust, you make them earn it back.
@@aronsiklosi3386 oh boy, "best pairing" if thats the best pairing Resident Evil has to offer considering how disfunctionnal it is lol, the rest must truly only be Stockholm syndrom
@@abigbutterstick1780 Absolutely. Love it for what it is, just like anything else. I prefer the remake, but the original is itself, and its value and charm are undeniable.
The way that Ashley herself asked Luis what he dropped and wanted to help him find it was so little but meant so much . She saw that Luis was trustworthy and helpfull . She has great Observation skills and can notice danger from behind even during gameplay . Maybe she could have prevented his death .
And THEN Ashley puts an unconscious Leon who's probably really heavy in the chair and operates the machine to remove the parasite. Sure, that seems small by comparison to Leon's feats and accomplishments, but that's still a heroic act on her part
Fun fact: the laser surgery Luis created is essentially just like getting shot with the P.R.L 412 considering the weapons name is literally “Plaga Removal Laser”
They did Ashley right for the remake. The voice acting is on point. I just did a shooting range challenge and she was cheering me on the whole time, I turned around to see her sitting on a barrel with a smile on her face, and the way she sat there looking at Leon - well, I never crushed on a video game character before, but kinda am right now lol
@@carllipsey1497 Plagus? Don’t worry, I’m not the grammar police, I just find the thought of a mod replacing the plaga with little among us characters, called Plagus, very funny..! 😂
I can't believe the original Scene 4. The AUDACITY to literally show the holes on the wall as she's running up to it. I thought to myself, "Surely, metal restraints aren't going to come out of those holes in the wall. They wouldn't..."
the sheer pointless specificity of having a contraption meant to trap someone who stands in front of that exact spot on the wall. like someone designed that. they were like "I'll catch someone with this elaborate trap" when it could have been so much less stupidly contrived
Remake Ashley is wonderful! I like how for the big majority of the game, she doesn't need help jumping from ledges and how she cheers for Leon during the shooting range game. No need for a clunky suit of armor anymore, though it's hilarious in the OG version.
I can imagine remake Ashley about to scream : "This sucks! " but original Ashley holds her mouth and says " Can you be quiet for five minutes, they are gonna hear us. "
Seems like in the remake timeline Leon held a bit of a grudge after Ada's betrayal. He's being more cautious around her, and Ada herself seems more apathetic until the remake's ending.
@@pm138 Yeah, they have good chemistry, but I couldn't like Ada after she did him so wrong. Not to mention putting millions of lives at risk for money she clearly doesn't need. The end of RE4 remake did redeem her a tiny bit, though. She's starting to look more human.
@@aronsiklosi3386 meh attracted maybe yea if you can even call it attraction at this point, "love" is a big word however, you dont just "love" someone after they betray you in the manner that Ada betrayed Leon. Like ik shippers would love it, but distrust is more natural than love in a life or death situation, even for a femme fatale like Ada.
I didn't think she was terrible before, though somewhat grating at times. The remake did make her much more of a whole person with a more generally likeable personality.
Agreed, she wasn't a bad character before, the Capcom team just wasn't as good as writing characters that fit a wider array of characteristics. This time around they were able to give her more complexity.
Tbh i actually like OG Ashley. Poor girl was kidnapped and likely lived a pretty sheltered life prior. I don't blame her for acting the way she did. Remake Ashley is much more fleshed out though, which I appreciate. Both Ashleys are great!
The og Ashley is way too overhated the way she acts is honestly understandable for someone who’s terrified and essentially royalty while I do like the new Ashley better because of how likeable she is she’s arguably harder to keep safe than og Ashley
Being the president's daughter doesn't necessarily mean she has to act like a 14 year old child though. The current Ashley is still scared of the situation that she is in, but she is still mature and actually acts like a 20 year old. The dislike to her character was understandable because Capcom fucked up her writing so much. The subtlety in her character also was way well done in this one.
Ashley was the presidents daughter for at most 4 years, meaning at minimum she was 16 when she became actually relevant, that doesn't excuse acting like a brat lmao
Ashley is amazing in the remake. They didn't keep her annoying like she used to be, but instead of uno reversing her into some sort of unexplained badass she's still a scared young woman. But over the course of the game she finds her courage despite that understandable fear. Huge character development.
You're right, you can tell the writers had more time to write the story, unlike Resident Evil 4(2005) where, for what I found out, writers had to write the story in less than a month.
@@lolsnez7542 Yeah, but if you compare, Ashley from Resident Evil 4(2005) isn't as fleshed out and a character as Ashley from Resident Evil 4(2023), but it's understable considering the writers from Resident Evil 4(2005) had to write the story in less than a month.
I find Ashley to be a bit more helpful in this game unlike the original where she is totally useless. 1. You can tell her to stick close or keep her distance during combat. 2. She helps Leon escape the burning barn after the boss fight with mendez by breaking a window for Leon and helps him escape the trap later on. 3. She can jump by herself or free herself from a trap without Leon. 4. She helps Leon fight the armoured knights and manning a crane with a wrecking ball to smash a wall. And killing a monster by dropping a bridge causing it to fall 5. She resist Ramone and saddler especially when saddler tries to control her mind and make her kill Leon. 6. She is more brave in this game and found herself to have courage and she is more mature and intelligent. 7. She heals Leon 8. She is a great companion
1. You can literally stick her in a trash bin or tell her to wait in one place while you handle everything. When running away she’s the most annoying 2. Leon didn’t need help in the barn scene… is Leon so incompetent he doesn’t know how to escape a burning building through the window? 3. I don’t even know how to free myself from a bear trap. And why would her freeing herself from a bear trap make her any better? Also, was catching her such a problem? 4. Is Leon so incompetent he couldn’t fight the knights himself. I mean it’s fine that she did but Leon didn’t need the help. Also? She has a similar scene in the OG where she drove the car while Leon killed those on the back. So she’s literally doing the same thing lmfao 5. In the original the only thing she resisted was shooting him, but even then the OG never had that so that can’t even be something against the original when it was never in the game to begin with. That’s like saying Leon is much better in the remake because he was able to resist. 6. more brave in what way? Because again, OG ashley does pretty ouch the same exact things the remake ashley 7. Leon didn’t need someone to heal him 8. OG Ashley was a great companion as well.
What many people do not understand is that in the Beta version of the game, Ashley was only 16 years old when she was kidnapped but they chose to say that she was 22. Even so, she retains the personality of a 16-year-old girl.
I Love what they did to ashley, she has potential to come back as Lead character because she experienced alot alongside Leon I mean if she really was paying attention to Leon she could do the same if she wanted to since she kept on hinting that him and Leon are like partners, that sounds interesting.
Nah, Resident Evil got enough skilled badass female characters. It's a breath of fresh air just to see a female character who is pretty and feminine enough to support but doesn't fight like a supersoldier. It's something that's missing in Hollywood. Instead, they try to turn women into men.
@@mysteryace2129 ??? Huh??? Bro, just because a woman can fight does NOT make her a man lmao. Sure, Claire, Ada, Jill, Sheva, and a lot more Resi women might not be little dainty submissive flowers who need to be saved by a big strong man, but they can still be very feminine as well. Who knows what they do in their off time whenever they're not currently saving the world? Maybe Jill likes to doll herself up in makeup and get her hair done? Maybe Claire is a great cook, Maybe Ada likes to watch dramatic and sappy romance movies? Maybe Sheva likes to wear frilly and breezy dresses. Or, maybe they don't do any of that stuff. Doesn't matter, they're still gorgeous and can be women without adhering to awful stereotypes. They're women. They're inherently feminine. regardless of whatever skills they may or may not have.
@Ria Again, you and the others miss the point entirely. Ashley Remake: garners attention because of her quips, cuteness, bubbly personality, expressive fear due to her vulnerable horrific situation but despite that she shows courage to help Leon however she can because she doesn't want to sulk or die. Making her standout from the usual Resident Evil female cast in a while. You guys: oh let's give/force her the motivation to be a trained agent who can handle a gun and be a 1 man army killing zombies. Like the 4 to 5 other female characters in Resident Evil.... Rose is also different but that's because she is literally a bioweapon. This is why I said it's a breath of fresh air because the genre is littered with this generic crap. No woman can be Vulnerable, they ALL must be capable in everything like the man in question.
In the remake, Ashley must have come to after having the Plaga removed, seen her procedure was successful, hauled Leon up onto the gurney, and operated the program. I questioned why they switched the order at first but it shows way more agency on her part and says a lot about Leon that he held out on falling unconscious until the second Ashley was cured.
It also reflects the amount of trust they had developed for Luis, who died to bring them to this moment when he could have fled. It's a really good moment for all three of them.
To be honest, the Ashley from the original was rather annoying. Capcom has had some hiccups in the gameplay of all the remakes, but the new story writting is where these remakes truly shine.
@@xanthiusdrake2775For sure, the original nailed a good story, bosses, and amazing gameplay mechanics but they fell a bit short with the details of the story and writing the characters in a complex manner. The remake tuned a few characters like Luis and Ashley while adding more intense and fun mechanics like parries and stealth attacks. I think the only character that actively got worse was Salazar, he's just much more bland. Also even though I loved Krausers VA I still prefer the original.
@@abigbutterstick1780 I don't know if "bland" is the right way to put it, they had Salazar go from phsyco energetic crazy, to disturbing crazy, that ritual scene being a good example of it.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 I don't know why I never got this notification but yeah, that ritual scene was so messed up, I felt genuine rage towards him like Leon did 😂
Love how much they form Ashley’s character in the remake rather than have her be the typical damsel in distress getting thrown into danger 24/7. The whole section with the infection controlling Ashley and having her be so scared of hurting Leon again was so sad, I felt so bad for her 😭
@skankhunt4215 sorry that I prefer more depth to characters than just stereotypical airheads, asshole. Istg people like you get like a power trip whenever a female character is made to be smarter than an actual doornail 💀
Og Ashley was one of the most annoying and unlikeable RE character, while Remake Ashley is one of the best female RE character right now. Hope we'll see more Ashley in the future, also I must say her relationship with Leon is way better in remake; especially making her mature through the story and caring and supporting Leon as they spent more time was pretty neat. Also Leon not being a braindead simp for ada really helped to create a better bond between Ashley and Leon
People don’t know what a good female character is if they think OG Ashley was annoying and remake ashley is better. If anything, remake Ashley feels like a generic strong female character because in order to be a good character you have to want to help the agent that’s saving you from being kidnapped. Being scared and doing so out of survival makes you a bad character apparently.
@@BabyGirlTiny no, you don’t know what a good female character is. Especially since the Remake makes her look and sound much older and much more at the right age. According to the lore, Ashley was around 20 years old during the events of RE4. In the original, she didn’t look or sound like that at all, she was more like a whiny teenager. In the remake, not only does she look like the proper age and sound like it, she even behaves like it too. Don’t go on about how female characters should be when you clearly have no idea what yourself. If you are trying to argue that the original is superior, in this regard, you are failing.
@@harvestercommander3250 wtf is that argument?!?!?!out of nowhere . you heard it here first guys, a good character is above all the one that fits their average age bracket , thats some shakespeare level writing right there. Very insightful.
@@electropelotudo1774 it’s more realistic realistic. Not all female characters have to be full on damsel in distresses and not help at all. Also with that crap you sprouted out, you obviously don’t care for the RE lore.
I think both versions are fine. OG seems more innocent and scared, which is perfectly normal and acceptable. Remake Ashley feels more mature and doesn't seem to panic as much, for example from already watching plenty of horrors and such, which is also ok.
@@fazelfarrokhi1998 th-cam.com/video/DCe8sfQPxzE/w-d-xo.html Yes so good imagine doing this to the only man willing to save you and risking his life and running in the most obvious trap, that's perfectly normal and acceptable
@@TheNateRule she’s literally the definition of a dumb bitch, why would she scream at Leon to leave her alone when all he did was care for her and put HIS own life in danger for HER, she’s entitled and spoiled I mean that bitch can’t even use a ladder then calls Leon a pervert for putting up a ladder or looking up, she’s so useless and ber voice is so annoying it made me wanna stop playing all together, Leon would tell her to go run and hide and she’d just stand there clueless like the dumb bitch she is waiting for him to save her (yet again)
Damn, I was one of very few who didn’t have a huge problem with Ashley in the original, but seeing her side by side with the Remake version is night and day. I’m in love in every way with the new Ashley.
@@pickledidiot4569 she is the presidents daughter…do you have any concept of the real world. In what world can the daughter of the president being an agent. And what if anything qualifies her? She literally did nothing in the game. In the original she drives a bulldozer and this one she operates a crane pretty much the same level of unbelievability. But whenever she does something that actually is possible in the real world in te game it’s just turning a fuckng crank or some crap and Leon’s like “oh man wow you really proved yourself out there” like how can you not see how ridiculous that is. It’s almost patronizing.
@@DrStabkill first hand experience of surviving zombies. you can rarely have that kind of people, just like the Main protagonists. thats why they sent Leon cause hes the one who knows how these things work
I also prefer the remake Ashley but also love the OG, both have their own charms. I think it would have helped OG Ashley better if they added these little bits of dialogue and interactions during the gameplay like the in the remake, instead of just "LEON HALP!"
I don’t hate OG Ashley anywhere near as much as others (I actually like her personality wise, she’s silly) but Remake Ashley is my sweetiepie baby wonderful butter muffin I ADORE her
The scene were they get rid of the plagas in them shows it to, Ashley tells him to do it first, but he refuses and helps her first, showing that he is dead set on getting her home safely even if he had to suffer from the plagas longer.
Ashley is losing consciousness in the remake, and to interpret it as he prioritized to save her first is also proper though considering its his “mission”
@@abigbutterstick1780 I feel like letting Luis die in remake is a mistake. This is their chance to re-write the story/timeline. At least they should leave it in the players' hands. He's a great character. He doesn't come off as annoying. Whenever we see Luis in the cutscene, we know there are going to be some good times ahead. Hell they could release a Luis DLC where you'll be taking control of him and do his "Luis" only missions -- like Ada's separate way. Capcom can then add an extra scenario where you react to the attack by Krauser and save Luis in some way. Capcom can make more money this way, and they can save Luis for more future game plots. Killing off a great character like Luis is just so wasteful. Considering how hard it is to create likable and unique characters in video games nowadays.
@@acosilicon You are experiencing quality writing. You really are sorry he's dead, because they made him likable. A character death done right has exactly this effect, and you will not soon forget the heroism of Luis Serra Navarro.
Legit was surprised when Ashley Remake looks so...mature. I don't exactly know how old she was when I first play this game, but the original character design made her look like a kid. So, her being bratty was kind of make sense to me before, because I really thought she WAS a little girl 😅😅😅
Remake Ashley was definitely one of the biggest improvements. In the OG she’s a lot more like a teenager but here she actually looks and acts like a young woman, and even if re4 wasn’t a particularly long game they managed to make her develop as a character. She started off afraid and dependent on Leon but as time went on she could actually help him and fend for herself too, even saving Leon at a point. She’s just really sweet and her dialogue in the shooting range is super cute too. Has to be the perfect remake
The scene where they kill the parasites works equally in both games. Leon going first to make sure it works and if it kills him, it kills him. But Ashley going first is Leon making sure that if anyone is getting saved first, it's Ashley since she is the mission
OG Ashley was annoying and kinda snobby, as i'm sure most people will agree. But that doesn't necessarily make her a bad character. It makes her memorable. The new Ashley is less of a caricature and comes off more as a mature woman, rather than a helpless spoiled school girl. Not saying that's a bad thing and that OG Ashley is better. I appreciate both takes on Ashley and don't really see a reason to compare them. 😊
Exactly. Making her more caring, compassionate, nice, and friendly in the remake doesn't make her a better character! You can be bratty and snobbish and still be a fantastic character. A character can be disliked by all or have bad qualities and traits, yet can still be an interesting and entertaining character. Liked? Perhaps. But being just liked doesn't make a character great. It's something these people don't understand.
@@royery nah, it's sounds just you are trying to cope, many people disagree with you. You purits are so damn petty. Ashley barely had interactions with Leon in the OG and she was a pretty forgettable character. Being what she was in the OG didn't make her a great character either
the way that they made her react to the pain in RE4 makes me so uncomfy, like i was obvious they were like "make her in some pain but not to much to make her not hot!" but then in RE4R you can see they went FULL IN with the realism
Never played or saw any gameplay of the original Resident Evil 4, BUT!!! Seeing the difference in reaction when they purged the plaga from Ashley, the way you can FEEL that THAT procedure must have been so painful that her screams were almost guttural?? THAT was a good job on the remake!
Idk, the remake feels more believable to me in that regard. In the original she cowered in fear after the attack missed, Leon explained himself, then she immediately trusted him. In the remake she attempted to escape due to instinct, not even willing to hear Leon out. It took the situation to get worsen first before she finally put a bit of trust to him.
Remake's def make sense when she's basically a young adult who likely has a bit of experience defending herself OG makes sense if she's a teen who's kinda the spoilt child
I really hope since we’ve all been waiting for a new Leon game for years to see what he’s been up to this whole time, and now that they know how much we all love new Ashley and their chemistry, we could actually get an RE9 or 10 about that line she says about them becoming partners. An RE4-2 basically, but this time both of them as equals after everything she endured on this and some years of training when they got back. It’d be so great.
I get everyone’s argument about the new Ashley being likable but to be honest I feel like if I had to go save the presidents daughter she would be annoying and extremely useless.
I will refrain from making a current-year political joke. Instead, I will suggest that people can find inner wellsprings of strength regardless of who their parents are.
Hi, I'm the guy who shared his failed Leon MoCap audition story some time ago. Just wanted to say thank you for the feedback and comments. It really helped putting things into perspective. Some sort of closure.
@@FIREDAN075 I really enjoyed talking to people and sharing stories and experiences. It helped getting it off my chest. I'm sorry that it made you upset. Don't worry living with this regret is punishement enough for me.
I love the dialog in remake more when it comes to dealing with Ashley. The silly one liners with the villains are sorely missed but the remake definitely feels more mature.
I actually liked OG Ashley better. Yeah, she was annoying, but her personality felt fitting for someone her age (18-19yo, I suppose), and having to deal with someone who's not only not mature enough yet, but also overwhelmed by the situation for obvious reasons, her behaviour made sense. Not to mention the feeling of added difficulty due to having to take care of someone so young. On the other hand New Ashley was just too cooperative. Yeah, that might sound dumb, but it just felt easier that way.
Not really OG Ashley acts like a 5 year old kid both her voice and personality are annoying you clearly don't go outside 20 year old girl don't act like that your just blinded by nostalgia
As much as how likeable she is from the start in the remake, I really like that in OG she went from a bratty princess into a charming character at the end.
I don't see why people hated OG Ashley so much. Her being annoying was intentional, she's a young woman during a zombie outbreak, she's the presidents daughter so she's spoiled, but it isn't over the top either, it's also way more realistic than remake Ashley who acts as a fanfiction perfect princess can do no wrong character. If you wanted them to do something different thats fine, but OG Ashley is realistically written. I'm so over this "we can't portray women in a bad light whatsoever" era, it's getting corny
I love remake Ashley, but I wish they made her hair more like the og cut. I prefer it over the rounded bob - it’s still cute, but at times it feels like she’s got too much hair not proportional to her head
I was looking for this comment. Totally one of the reasons i don't like her remake too. Her face is too long and that horrible hair style make it looks even longer. Her chin/jaw is also bolder and more to the masculine side compared to Ella freya more graceful traits.
@@Buddy-Love i don't think her face is too long, but the translation of models from motion capture to in game always makes the faces stockier/wider -- detroit become human had this issue too (it was most prominent w/ connor IMO). i really just liked the straight cut as opposed to the wispy rounded bob more; it looks more period accurate and i think it's cuter
@@holyfool5605 while is true that the translation between real life and cg model is almost never 100% accurate, i think they definitely did a better job with claire and jill. Despite not a fan of Jill. Ashley (imo ofc) is barely watchable under certain lights and cutscenes. And the hairstyle chosen doesn't help to fix a head model that is already a bit masculine.(Usually there are specific suggested hair styles irl for each face shape to obtain a balance in the geometry). Here they went full bean. If u compare her cg with real ella freyia u will see they are 2 'similar' but different worlds.
Looks like am the only one who liked original Ashley than Remake Ashley. She is supposed to be Young. Of course she is going to act bratty. I liked her better because she at least has a personality rather than being "Nice Woman" in the Remake. Don't bother commenting because I don't care about anyone else's opinions on the matter LOL
Another big change, the OG Ashley is clearly younger (both in appearance, and mindset), like a typical beverly hills teenager, while the Remake Ashley has a more mature personality (in comparison). They both still have 20 years old, the OG Ashley just didn't acted like it, she acted like she was 15/16.
Okay hear me out..the parasite purging scene..the OG kinda like they want to get hurt but be pretty🤣🤣and ashley be like "ungghh ngghh urghh" she is um so um...controlling like no after effect after getting surgery 😭😭. where i like the part about the remake where they are so dramatic. We can see the pain like how ashley scream like how human should be in pain like "ARGHHHHARGHHHH WAARGHHH" while crying which is more sense to me..if me im gonna try to kick leon like telling him how hurt it js..but then here it is..the OG..not saying its bad just umm..U KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN!!🤣🤣🤣and also if realized Ashley so concerning and keep asking leon if they were a team or something..come on leon..
4:38 OG Leon and Ashley still got enough time before the plagas infected their bodies, so Leon offerred himself to try the Plaga Removal first because they didn't quite sure if the machine is working. Once Leon made it safe, he then let Ashley. 6:06 Remake Leon and Ashley are badly infected so Leon prioritized Ashley for the sake of his mission. There is no other better way. It also adds up more dramatic momment.
The OG Ashley reacts the way anyone in her place would react. And compared to OG Ashley, the remake Ashley is far too dπmb while fighting with the Ganados, coz OG Ashley would be always right behind us & listen to our commands. The remake Ashley is so hard to protect. She's either too slow or stands in the line of fire.
What? Remake Ashley reacts how anyone should also. That would then be an ai/mechanic issue and not a character issue. Which varies depending on the game because I had zero issues with her standing in the line of fire since I used the stand back mechanic during combat.
I think we have to understand here that ever since RE7 the franchise tent to shift back toward horror oriented style which were lost in with RE4 OG, 5 and 6. So it is understandable that Ashley would be more of a quiet character to suit the atmosphere.
The dialogue between OG and Remake is like the old-style tv commercials of actors talking awkwardly vs modern commercials where actors speak more fluidly.

The remake actually shows what the parasite could do to Ashley, she's start to aggro and primal, not just running away from Leon
Fr fr
it can controll her crazy! we already knew that
@@jeffj78 it's cool to actually display it though
@@jeffj78 dude thinks he’s being smart but he just looks stupid as hell
А ничего, что в ОРИГИНАЛЕ мы это уже у Леона видели, когда ТОТ Аду начал душить!
One change I liked was her reasoning for running away. OG Ashley coughs up blood and then pushes Leon away when he tries to comfort her. Remake Ashley runs because she’s afraid of hurting Leon and that ya know- ACTUAL MAKES SENSE
How do you know the reason she did it wasn't literally the same, but that it simply wasnt as obvious in the og due to... y'know, technical limitations.
@@raielle I get what you’re saying but honestly I can’t see how technical limitations played a factor because the animation and style of the original still holds up. Like I watched a comparison a while back and while obviously everything is improved in the remake, the animation of the original was still top tier.
Nah for me, it just comes down to the writing. While I feel it is intentional for OG Ashley being a lot more bratty and helpless, even saying to Luis “I’m the president’s daughter💅🏽” in a way that feels like she’s playing up that status, it just didn’t receive well with most audiences at the time of release. Like I felt the frustration that anyone would have when OG Ashley ran away when Leon was just looking out for her. I like how remake Ashley just had a better set up as to why she would take off. It just works better and I end up feeling more sorry for her in her condition.
@@AMCSymbiote What i meant more of was the limitations in tech insofar as what they could or could not fit within the disc.
I.E. Final Fantasy 7 taking place across 3-4 discs.
I'm sure the writing also effected things, as I do remember being frustrated at specifically 'how' she kept getting caught, but sort of like in a movie where they have to cut scense, or games where some plot points get abandoned, it may simply have been due to something as banal as 'not enough disc space'
@@raielle We also have to take into account that the plot for OG RE4 was done in 2-3 weeks. Basically rushed thereby some moments can be kinda goofy and nonsense lol
@@eltemplariodetierrasanta7234if I remember correctly after trying to make this game three times already, Shinji Mikami just wrote something in a rush and told the team to make a fun, not scary game to go along with it.
Honestly the development of the original RE4 is crazy, how it seemed like a game that was destined to never be released but it came out and became a cultural phenomenon
Leon holding her hand through the procedure thing was so sweet 😭😭 He’s such a big bro
Well he also had to keep her there, otherwise things could have gone from bad to worse if she had fallen off the chair.
FR FR
He's a good boyfriend
Why say big bro, just say he's being gentle
I want him
I like how that they address Luis death, especially Ashley reaction to it, in Og she just walk past his dead body and they was no acknowledgement of his death at all.
Absolutely this. They turned OG Ashley from a whiny bratty snobby, albeit scared girl, to a still scared but brave and growing-in-confidence young woman. I love that you don't need to help her jump down from every jump anymore, that her only option of protection is hiding in a dumpster, or that she is callous about Luis.
I have to mention that they turned Luis into someone spectacular too. OG Luis, the only times you saw him were near beginning, at cabin, at castle entrance, and his death. He had seriously barely any impact, and when he died he was easily forgotten, easily seen in how Ashley doesn't even acknowledge it really. New Luis fits well alongside Ashley, he's more interactive, and when he dies, Ashley actually feels sad about it. Then, when they get cured, Ashley hails Luis's post-mortem ingenuity.
It's like thank you, for taking two of the most forgettable or unlikeable characters in the game, and really building them sky-high and making them a joy to have around.
Remake Ashley : "Oh no..."
Og Ashley : "Anyway..."
Spoiled brat
@@rhysiare New Ashley just runs around like an idiot getting hurt or captured, it was so useful in the old one to tell her to hide. She's more vulnerable now and can't defend herself, she still relies on Leon so I don't know what you mean.

Aside from Leon passing out and coughing blood? Leon choking Ada? Ashley also coughing up blood? The black veins on Leon?
The original did show the symptoms very well, you're talking like they were just fine all the time, the remake did put a bit more of emphasis on it but let's not act like the OG didn't show anything.
I loved how in the remake, Ashley was gradually growing more used and composed about the situation she found herself in. At the church, she was freaking out and once we get spotted, she cries out in fear. As the game progresses, Ashley, much like Leon, begins to cope with the situation. Either putting up a strong front, like telling a Regenerator to “bring it” or using humor like Leon. I liked how instead of freaking out all the time, she instead adapted, wanting to become more useful to Leon, and even cracking some jokes about Leon needing her help and how good she became at helping him.
Remake ashley is a perfect example of how to write strong female character
Yeah. Some people say OG Ashley is better because she's the president's daughter and damsel in distress so her being panicky and useless for the most part, if not all the time, fits as if she couldn't--or _shouldn't_--cope and adapt to the situation.
she even kills the Regenerator in the waste disposal area if you don't kill it yourself with the bridge :D
@@synbiostaelshit, really? I gotta try that next time I replay

@@BabyGirlTiny ever heard of maturity?
@@harvestercommander3250 And how that explains how a girl feels more than valiant while being surrounded by monsters, having one inside her body and being filled with some black liquid? Leon went through unfathomable nightmare, his composure is justified. If Ashley would be like Sherry, a girl with difficult past, it would be understandable, but for a girl raised under parent's umbrella, she accomodated to the situation unbelievably fast or maybe it is parasite's influence.

Not gonna lie it was that scene that really sold me on her. I could just tell how brave and yet scared she was. I won't lie I miss the campy ashley but new ashley is wayyy smexier
@Bourne007 that Senorita scene sold me on her too. I really like this Ashley over the og Ashley. Even though OG Ashley was easier to give orders to
Yeah agreed lol I made the mistake of playing and finishing re4 Re on hardcore difficulty. 😅 so my ashley got screamed at in a lot of scenes. Wasn't until afterward I did an assisted run 2nd playthrough. I had ZERO stress and could just enjoy everything way more. Plus, ashley, no jacket is soooo much cooler. You can actually see the plaga progress through her right from the church scene
Neither did the original, she never acted superior to Leon or Luis, did you played the original?

Also Saddler: Could of just kept quiet about his plans and let Leon take Ashley home so she can infect everyone there without them ever finding out about it.
Lmao, good point
lol Thank you, I have been saying this since the original game, why the hell didn't they just let Leon rescue her if the plan was to have her be a sleeper agent in the white house and infect her father?
Agree the most about keep quiet part, Saddler sure very dumb about this
My thoughts exactly #SaddlerTeam
That’s one thing the remake actually fixed. Saddler doesn’t reveal his plans and he’s kept secret the whole game. They don’t even see him until the end.
The remake made the story much better.
OG Ashley: Insufferable little brat
Remake Ashley: Brave, resilient, confident and genuinely caring young woman
And some sort of superhuman given she managed to put Leon on that chair even know he had like 10 weapons on him, she’s the fuckin she hulk or something ha ha
@@RIPandTEARB1TCHESpower of video game
Really?
Insufferable Little Brat? Original Ashley actually did what you told her to do. Come to a new area, see a dumpster, be like "Bitch, dumpster", and she gets in it and stays there until you call her back out after finishing the area's enemies. You can tell her to stay put in another part of the map while you go and deal with enemies and they most likely won't even bother her. Enemies can't mess with her while she's in the dumpster too. Remake Ashley will actually come out of a locker sometimes while combat is still going on even though you told her not to, you also cannot tell her to stay put, it's either follow close or follow far, and during the latter she will get close to enemies and get grabbed very quickly.
Bravery? Original Ashley stood up to Luis when he commented about her ballistics, and literally told Leon that she is not becoming one of those things at one point, while remake Ashley was more rude towards Luis than brave and had to be ensured of her own survival by Leon.
Resilient? Original Ashley had her own health bar (Which could be extended) and could tank a few hits from enemies before dying, we're talking crossbow bolts, axes, flails and maces, and will still follow Leon if still alive. Remake Ashley will fall down and stay down from a single hit from a Ganado and will die from another hit if incapacitated, which makes managing her in the remake more frustrating.
Confident? Original Ashley not once had complained about the situation she was in, even during her playable section. Remake Ashley on the other hand complains a lot (Not that I blame her).
Genuinely Caring Young Woman? Did you miss the parts in original RE4 after Ashley hugged Leon after being reuniting with him and even asking if Leon was ok after the boss fight against Mendez? Or how about the scene when Ashley says to Leon "I thought you were gonna die!" after Leon goes through tremendous pain having the parasite removed from him. Yes, that's in the original game too.
Also, she had ENOUGH of armor, that until you make her wear one
@@TheCyclicGamer always that one annoying purist 🙄, go back to the original then.
The thing that nobody mentions is the little interactions during the gameplay and how they check if they’re ok or how Ashley get scared. I played the original right after finishing the remake and there was a lot of long awkward silent moments during gameplay, which made her feel like more of an NPC rather than an actual human.
I really wish the original had little pieces of dialogue like that for sure.
It is technical limitations of the OG.The original came out in 2004/2005,maybe they cannot do a lot of animation outside the cutscenes
@@jarrygarry5316 pretty sure the og re4 came out in 2003 then got a graphics upgrade in '05, probably wrong though so you can correct me on that
Technical limitations that time, compared to the RE Engine era ofc it has a long gap. But of course it doesn’t justify Ashley’s “poor” written character in the OG (which actually understandable since Mikami only wrote the story 2-3 weeks).
There's a ton of little details in the game. After you get rid of the parasite you go into the amber colored ritual cave and if you're a bit ahead of Ashely she'll climb up the little platforms on her own but if you stay near her for that part Leon will help her up.
Remake Ashley is far superior. She's competent, sweet, and sympathetic, whereas the original Ashley came off as rather bratty and unlikable at times. Although, having Carolyn Lawrence voice her was a nice plus back then.
Agree
new ashley good but felts like material gworl
Yeah she is far superior in Remake in every aspect, she is truly gorgeous and I really loved her personality, the way she care for Leon even during her own critical moment actually moved me quite much
Though I not hated her much in Original, just like another little brat to me
Remake is too Political Correct.
Just not nuanced.
Humans have range of behaviour both likeable traits and unlikable traits.
The original has merit.
@@SchwarzSchwertkampfer The remake is not 'politically correct', and it's story is far more nuanced than the original.
I like that we’re seeing Leon kinda move away from his reliance on Ada. It makes both him and Ada have more depth and quite frankly makes more sense for their characters given they’ve only interacted a few times
That he'd be angry at her for making him like her and then playing him the whole time is also very reasonable. His parents must have taught him right, that once someone forfeits your trust, you make them earn it back.

I didn't think she was terrible before, though somewhat grating at times. The remake did make her much more of a whole person with a more generally likeable personality.
Very true she is more mature
Agreed, she wasn't a bad character before, the Capcom team just wasn't as good as writing characters that fit a wider array of characteristics. This time around they were able to give her more complexity.
Tbh i actually like OG Ashley. Poor girl was kidnapped and likely lived a pretty sheltered life prior. I don't blame her for acting the way she did. Remake Ashley is much more fleshed out though, which I appreciate. Both Ashleys are great!
The og Ashley is way too overhated the way she acts is honestly understandable for someone who’s terrified and essentially royalty while I do like the new Ashley better because of how likeable she is she’s arguably harder to keep safe than og Ashley
royalty? lmfao
@Charlo Rivard not quite but being the presidents daughter it's safe to assume she'd be well looked after her whole life
Being the president's daughter doesn't necessarily mean she has to act like a 14 year old child though. The current Ashley is still scared of the situation that she is in, but she is still mature and actually acts like a 20 year old. The dislike to her character was understandable because Capcom fucked up her writing so much. The subtlety in her character also was way well done in this one.
Ashley was the presidents daughter for at most 4 years, meaning at minimum she was 16 when she became actually relevant, that doesn't excuse acting like a brat lmao

But over the course of the game she finds her courage despite that understandable fear. Huge character development.

2. She helps Leon escape the burning barn after the boss fight with mendez by breaking a window for Leon and helps him escape the trap later on.
3. She can jump by herself or free herself from a trap without Leon.
4. She helps Leon fight the armoured knights and manning a crane with a wrecking ball to smash a wall. And killing a monster by dropping a bridge causing it to fall
5. She resist Ramone and saddler especially when saddler tries to control her mind and make her kill Leon.
6. She is more brave in this game and found herself to have courage and she is more mature and intelligent.
7. She heals Leon
8. She is a great companion
1. You can literally stick her in a trash bin or tell her to wait in one place while you handle everything. When running away she’s the most annoying
2. Leon didn’t need help in the barn scene… is Leon so incompetent he doesn’t know how to escape a burning building through the window?
3. I don’t even know how to free myself from a bear trap. And why would her freeing herself from a bear trap make her any better? Also, was catching her such a problem?
4. Is Leon so incompetent he couldn’t fight the knights himself. I mean it’s fine that she did but Leon didn’t need the help. Also? She has a similar scene in the OG where she drove the car while Leon killed those on the back. So she’s literally doing the same thing lmfao
5. In the original the only thing she resisted was shooting him, but even then the OG never had that so that can’t even be something against the original when it was never in the game to begin with. That’s like saying Leon is much better in the remake because he was able to resist.
6. more brave in what way? Because again, OG ashley does pretty ouch the same exact things the remake ashley
7. Leon didn’t need someone to heal him
8. OG Ashley was a great companion as well.
@@BabyGirlTiny you’re delusional. The remake is superior.
@@BabyGirlTiny mmmmm stay mad
@@BabyGirlTiny "Leon didn't need someone to heal him". Yeah, you're mad.
First point this guy makes and you know he is full of shit lol.
What many people do not understand is that in the Beta version of the game, Ashley was only 16 years old when she was kidnapped but they chose to say that she was 22. Even so, she retains the personality of a 16-year-old girl.
She wasn't 16 in the OG she was 18 or 22
@@Sugmatoe”In the beta version” aka she was planned to be 16
so that's why she looks like she's barely into highschool in og. glad they adjusted her design and personality in the remake
Remake Ashley is also smarter. Rather than believing Leon off the bat she's rightfully wary of him and even tries to swing at him
Ehhh that happened as well in the original
@@lolsnez7542 The video says otherwise.
nah she is dumber i tell her wait and she dosent wait she goes in from of the monsters and gets killed
I Love what they did to ashley, she has potential to come back as Lead character because she experienced alot alongside Leon I mean if she really was paying attention to Leon she could do the same if she wanted to since she kept on hinting that him and Leon are like partners, that sounds interesting.
Nah, Resident Evil got enough skilled badass female characters. It's a breath of fresh air just to see a female character who is pretty and feminine enough to support but doesn't fight like a supersoldier. It's something that's missing in Hollywood. Instead, they try to turn women into men.
@@mysteryace2129 ??? Huh??? Bro, just because a woman can fight does NOT make her a man lmao. Sure, Claire, Ada, Jill, Sheva, and a lot more Resi women might not be little dainty submissive flowers who need to be saved by a big strong man, but they can still be very feminine as well. Who knows what they do in their off time whenever they're not currently saving the world? Maybe Jill likes to doll herself up in makeup and get her hair done? Maybe Claire is a great cook, Maybe Ada likes to watch dramatic and sappy romance movies? Maybe Sheva likes to wear frilly and breezy dresses.
Or, maybe they don't do any of that stuff. Doesn't matter, they're still gorgeous and can be women without adhering to awful stereotypes. They're women. They're inherently feminine. regardless of whatever skills they may or may not have.
@@mysteryace2129 this whole comment reeks of musty basement and brown stain around your tub
@@mysteryace2129lol what kind of nonsense is this.... 😂
@Ria Again, you and the others miss the point entirely.
Ashley Remake: garners attention because of her quips, cuteness, bubbly personality, expressive fear due to her vulnerable horrific situation but despite that she shows courage to help Leon however she can because she doesn't want to sulk or die. Making her standout from the usual Resident Evil female cast in a while.
You guys: oh let's give/force her the motivation to be a trained agent who can handle a gun and be a 1 man army killing zombies. Like the 4 to 5 other female characters in Resident Evil.... Rose is also different but that's because she is literally a bioweapon.
This is why I said it's a breath of fresh air because the genre is littered with this generic crap. No woman can be Vulnerable, they ALL must be capable in everything like the man in question.
In the remake, Ashley must have come to after having the Plaga removed, seen her procedure was successful, hauled Leon up onto the gurney, and operated the program. I questioned why they switched the order at first but it shows way more agency on her part and says a lot about Leon that he held out on falling unconscious until the second Ashley was cured.
It also reflects the amount of trust they had developed for Luis, who died to bring them to this moment when he could have fled. It's a really good moment for all three of them.
I love her in the remake. They really did her justice. She's so much more compassionate and lovely
To be honest, the Ashley from the original was rather annoying. Capcom has had some hiccups in the gameplay of all the remakes, but the new story writting is where these remakes truly shine.
@@xanthiusdrake2775For sure, the original nailed a good story, bosses, and amazing gameplay mechanics but they fell a bit short with the details of the story and writing the characters in a complex manner. The remake tuned a few characters like Luis and Ashley while adding more intense and fun mechanics like parries and stealth attacks. I think the only character that actively got worse was Salazar, he's just much more bland. Also even though I loved Krausers VA I still prefer the original.
@@abigbutterstick1780 I don't know if "bland" is the right way to put it, they had Salazar go from phsyco energetic crazy, to disturbing crazy, that ritual scene being a good example of it.
But look what they did to my boy Leon.
@@xanthiusdrake2775 I don't know why I never got this notification but yeah, that ritual scene was so messed up, I felt genuine rage towards him like Leon did 😂

You can actually feel her pain in the remake
While the OG looks like smth from a p@rn scene :P
@@beccAurora statistically speaking someone got off to that…
I feel her pain
@@MrMoistIITheRevengeOfTheMoist lmao. That's awful
@@MrMoistIITheRevengeOfTheMoist stop giving people ideas
Love how much they form Ashley’s character in the remake rather than have her be the typical damsel in distress getting thrown into danger 24/7. The whole section with the infection controlling Ashley and having her be so scared of hurting Leon again was so sad, I felt so bad for her 😭
@skankhunt4215 sorry that I prefer more depth to characters than just stereotypical airheads, asshole. Istg people like you get like a power trip whenever a female character is made to be smarter than an actual doornail 💀
4:36 im glad that they change this too, in the org they dont even look suffer or anything and Ashley jus give me panic with that sus voice.
Old Ashley is cute little mouse but new Ashley really is a “Señorita” as Luis says. She doesn’t actually lack “ballistics” either.
you are the mouse she is great
Og Ashley was one of the most annoying and unlikeable RE character, while Remake Ashley is one of the best female RE character right now. Hope we'll see more Ashley in the future, also I must say her relationship with Leon is way better in remake; especially making her mature through the story and caring and supporting Leon as they spent more time was pretty neat. Also Leon not being a braindead simp for ada really helped to create a better bond between Ashley and Leon
People don’t know what a good female character is if they think OG Ashley was annoying and remake ashley is better. If anything, remake Ashley feels like a generic strong female character because in order to be a good character you have to want to help the agent that’s saving you from being kidnapped. Being scared and doing so out of survival makes you a bad character apparently.
@@BabyGirlTiny no, you don’t know what a good female character is. Especially since the Remake makes her look and sound much older and much more at the right age. According to the lore, Ashley was around 20 years old during the events of RE4. In the original, she didn’t look or sound like that at all, she was more like a whiny teenager. In the remake, not only does she look like the proper age and sound like it, she even behaves like it too.
Don’t go on about how female characters should be when you clearly have no idea what yourself. If you are trying to argue that the original is superior, in this regard, you are failing.
@@harvestercommander3250 wtf is that argument?!?!?!out of nowhere . you heard it here first guys, a good character is above all the one that fits their average age bracket , thats some shakespeare level writing right there. Very insightful.
@@electropelotudo1774 it’s more realistic realistic. Not all female characters have to be full on damsel in distresses and not help at all. Also with that crap you sprouted out, you obviously don’t care for the RE lore.
@@BabyGirlTiny yes she think she Leon 😭💀
I think both versions are fine. OG seems more innocent and scared, which is perfectly normal and acceptable. Remake Ashley feels more mature and doesn't seem to panic as much, for example from already watching plenty of horrors and such, which is also ok.
Yes right OG is good
@@fazelfarrokhi1998 th-cam.com/video/DCe8sfQPxzE/w-d-xo.html Yes so good imagine doing this to the only man willing to save you and risking his life and running in the most obvious trap, that's perfectly normal and acceptable
@@Jfray252 😮 you wouldn't panic after coughing blood? Also it didn't look like an obvious trap.
@@TheNateRule she’s literally the definition of a dumb bitch, why would she scream at Leon to leave her alone when all he did was care for her and put HIS own life in danger for HER, she’s entitled and spoiled I mean that bitch can’t even use a ladder then calls Leon a pervert for putting up a ladder or looking up, she’s so useless and ber voice is so annoying it made me wanna stop playing all together, Leon would tell her to go run and hide and she’d just stand there clueless like the dumb bitch she is waiting for him to save her (yet again)
@@TheNateRule it was a long empty hallway with a dead end and holes on the floor witj big holes on the wall for jesus christ's sake☠️
Damn, I was one of very few who didn’t have a huge problem with Ashley in the original, but seeing her side by side with the Remake version is night and day.
I’m in love in every way with the new Ashley.
This Ashley can actually become an Agent, she has the same Claire experienced and way worse too
That would actually be a cool spinoff!
Why the hell would she be able to be an agent. She has literally zero training in anything.
@@DrStabkilli think agents generally GET trained lol
@@pickledidiot4569 she is the presidents daughter…do you have any concept of the real world. In what world can the daughter of the president being an agent. And what if anything qualifies her? She literally did nothing in the game. In the original she drives a bulldozer and this one she operates a crane pretty much the same level of unbelievability. But whenever she does something that actually is possible in the real world in te game it’s just turning a fuckng crank or some crap and Leon’s like “oh man wow you really proved yourself out there” like how can you not see how ridiculous that is. It’s almost patronizing.
@@DrStabkill first hand experience of surviving zombies. you can rarely have that kind of people, just like the Main protagonists. thats why they sent Leon cause hes the one who knows how these things work
I also prefer the remake Ashley but also love the OG, both have their own charms. I think it would have helped OG Ashley better if they added these little bits of dialogue and interactions during the gameplay like the in the remake, instead of just "LEON HALP!"
Ashley in original: Leon! Help!
Ashley in Remake: Leon! I'll help!
I love her already from the first sight. What a girl
I don’t hate OG Ashley anywhere near as much as others (I actually like her personality wise, she’s silly) but Remake Ashley is my sweetiepie baby wonderful butter muffin I ADORE her
One of the reason why people hated her was 2:38 . I have no problem with her before that, that scene was the literal “what the hell ?”
“For Luis” is my favourite line by Ashley😢
she's so sweet.❤️😭
Ella Freya who was the model for Ashley in the remake is lovely.
Also peackmilky, who is the body
3:20 Not only is Leon handsome, his facial expression here is so good. He looks worried and scared for Ashley and when she ran away from him
Why she escaped tho? (I don't play the game)
If capcom ever makes a remake of code veronica, I'd like to see what they do to Steve, considering how much better they made Ashley.
Many people loved OG Ashley despite her bratty nature. But Steve...he is someone only a mother could love. He definitely needs remake treatment.
@@ichigoeater hope they keep him the same
og ashely is a great girl and a great waifu but haters gonna hate@@ichigoeater
Making Ashley woke doesn't make her better.
In the OG he uses the machine first to see if its safe for her, in the remake he put her first to save her doesn't matter what, i like it
The scene were they get rid of the plagas in them shows it to, Ashley tells him to do it first, but he refuses and helps her first, showing that he is dead set on getting her home safely even if he had to suffer from the plagas longer.
Ashley is losing consciousness in the remake, and to interpret it as he prioritized to save her first is also proper though considering its his “mission”
It kind of makes sense in the remake because they trusted Luis more and he said his lab had the machine to save them.
@@abigbutterstick1780 I feel like letting Luis die in remake is a mistake. This is their chance to re-write the story/timeline. At least they should leave it in the players' hands. He's a great character. He doesn't come off as annoying. Whenever we see Luis in the cutscene, we know there are going to be some good times ahead. Hell they could release a Luis DLC where you'll be taking control of him and do his "Luis" only missions -- like Ada's separate way.
Capcom can then add an extra scenario where you react to the attack by Krauser and save Luis in some way. Capcom can make more money this way, and they can save Luis for more future game plots. Killing off a great character like Luis is just so wasteful. Considering how hard it is to create likable and unique characters in video games nowadays.
@@acosilicon You are experiencing quality writing. You really are sorry he's dead, because they made him likable. A character death done right has exactly this effect, and you will not soon forget the heroism of Luis Serra Navarro.
The "I thought you were gonna die" makes so much more sense in the remake
OG was like "heh you sound like you're dying"
2:32
“The ‘señorita’ has a name, and it’s Ashley.”
That’s a good quote in the remake.
* You lose Ashley *
Remake:Noooo ;[
OG:FINALLY
Legit was surprised when Ashley Remake looks so...mature. I don't exactly know how old she was when I first play this game, but the original character design made her look like a kid. So, her being bratty was kind of make sense to me before, because I really thought she WAS a little girl 😅😅😅
Yeah I was surprised she's supposed to be 20 and not 14.
She was apparently supposed to be around 16 early in development/into beta
Remake Ashley was definitely one of the biggest improvements. In the OG she’s a lot more like a teenager but here she actually looks and acts like a young woman, and even if re4 wasn’t a particularly long game they managed to make her develop as a character. She started off afraid and dependent on Leon but as time went on she could actually help him and fend for herself too, even saving Leon at a point. She’s just really sweet and her dialogue in the shooting range is super cute too. Has to be the perfect remake
They both had their own charms
The scene where they kill the parasites works equally in both games. Leon going first to make sure it works and if it kills him, it kills him. But Ashley going first is Leon making sure that if anyone is getting saved first, it's Ashley since she is the mission
8:16 this has me cracking up why did she fall like that 😂
OG Ashley was annoying and kinda snobby, as i'm sure most people will agree. But that doesn't necessarily make her a bad character. It makes her memorable. The new Ashley is less of a caricature and comes off more as a mature woman, rather than a helpless spoiled school girl. Not saying that's a bad thing and that OG Ashley is better. I appreciate both takes on Ashley and don't really see a reason to compare them. 😊
Exactly. Making her more caring, compassionate, nice, and friendly in the remake doesn't make her a better character! You can be bratty and snobbish and still be a fantastic character. A character can be disliked by all or have bad qualities and traits, yet can still be an interesting and entertaining character. Liked? Perhaps. But being just liked doesn't make a character great. It's something these people don't understand.
@@royery nah, it's sounds just you are trying to cope, many people disagree with you. You purits are so damn petty. Ashley barely had interactions with Leon in the OG and she was a pretty forgettable character. Being what she was in the OG didn't make her a great character either
Fr bro
Yes right thank you
@@royery Yes right thank you
the way that they made her react to the pain in RE4 makes me so uncomfy, like i was obvious they were like "make her in some pain but not to much to make her not hot!" but then in RE4R you can see they went FULL IN with the realism
Never played or saw any gameplay of the original Resident Evil 4, BUT!!! Seeing the difference in reaction when they purged the plaga from Ashley, the way you can FEEL that THAT procedure must have been so painful that her screams were almost guttural?? THAT was a good job on the remake!
I absolutely love how polite they're to each other, its so cute ❤
It's called "professionalism". Leon has set the tone for them and maintains it throughout.
I would like to see in Multiverse way when Ashley originally met Ashley remake lol and I'm gonna see who's the winner hahaha
Remake Ashley would body that brat in 1 second
The only thing I thought was worse was the scene where they met for the first time. It was just handled way more believable in the original.
Idk, the remake feels more believable to me in that regard. In the original she cowered in fear after the attack missed, Leon explained himself, then she immediately trusted him. In the remake she attempted to escape due to instinct, not even willing to hear Leon out. It took the situation to get worsen first before she finally put a bit of trust to him.
do you trust a stranger in a first encounter? think about it
Remake's def make sense when she's basically a young adult who likely has a bit of experience defending herself
OG makes sense if she's a teen who's kinda the spoilt child
Og one is relatable to me cuz im always complaining, but remake she's getting mature and maybe she'll be an agent or knife user in future RE
To this day I still don’t understand how Ashley manages to get caught in that trap in the original
From what fans of the OG have informed me, it's called "excellent writing, best ever, stop asking questions you hater."
The OG feels like an action movie while the Remake feels like an actual horror one.
You’ve clearly never seen a horror fipm
I really hope since we’ve all been waiting for a new Leon game for years to see what he’s been up to this whole time, and now that they know how much we all love new Ashley and their chemistry, we could actually get an RE9 or 10 about that line she says about them becoming partners. An RE4-2 basically, but this time both of them as equals after everything she endured on this and some years of training when they got back. It’d be so great.
I had no memory of Ashley falling off the jet-ski until this video. That's hilarious.
I get everyone’s argument about the new Ashley being likable but to be honest I feel like if I had to go save the presidents daughter she would be annoying and extremely useless.
I will refrain from making a current-year political joke. Instead, I will suggest that people can find inner wellsprings of strength regardless of who their parents are.
At 2:02 right before the scene switches camera angles Ashley disappears. The new Ashley may be great and all but can she go invisible?
💀
That one was good, My dude
The trophy for saving Ashley from being carried away should have been called "Saved the Ballistics"
You are indeed a man of profound taste , truly a Man of Culture
Drink to that motherfucker
That would have been amazing 😂

What audition? Voice actor for Leon?
I love this new version. She's much more realistic.
I love the dialog in remake more when it comes to dealing with Ashley. The silly one liners with the villains are sorely missed but the remake definitely feels more mature.
I actually liked OG Ashley better. Yeah, she was annoying, but her personality felt fitting for someone her age (18-19yo, I suppose), and having to deal with someone who's not only not mature enough yet, but also overwhelmed by the situation for obvious reasons, her behaviour made sense. Not to mention the feeling of added difficulty due to having to take care of someone so young.
On the other hand New Ashley was just too cooperative. Yeah, that might sound dumb, but it just felt easier that way.
Yeah, remake Ashley is just like a generic love-interest girl in a movie...
Not really OG Ashley acts like a 5 year old kid both her voice and personality are annoying you clearly don't go outside 20 year old girl don't act like that your just blinded by nostalgia
Original Ashley:
👂🏻🥺👂🏻
🍈🍈
🦵🏻🦵🏻 " -jinnianshibasui- Leon, help!"
re4 ashley: Leon do something
remake ashley: I wanna be like you Leon
As much as how likeable she is from the start in the remake, I really like that in OG she went from a bratty princess into a charming character at the end.
"Seems the president equipped his daughter, with ballistics too."
Luis, you did not 😭😭😭😭.
I don't see why people hated OG Ashley so much. Her being annoying was intentional, she's a young woman during a zombie outbreak, she's the presidents daughter so she's spoiled, but it isn't over the top either, it's also way more realistic than remake Ashley who acts as a fanfiction perfect princess can do no wrong character. If you wanted them to do something different thats fine, but OG Ashley is realistically written. I'm so over this "we can't portray women in a bad light whatsoever" era, it's getting corny
I prefer og Ashely, she makes more sense as a character... plus.. EARS
Moushley exists because of the og Ashley after all
@@ashe9696 "Arkancide" exists because of Hillary Clinton, but I don't think it's worth it

1:52 "See that the president's equipped his daughter with ballistics too." LMAO!!!
The best rre4 OG line
Cringe
I love remake Ashley, but I wish they made her hair more like the og cut. I prefer it over the rounded bob - it’s still cute, but at times it feels like she’s got too much hair not proportional to her head
I was looking for this comment. Totally one of the reasons i don't like her remake too. Her face is too long and that horrible hair style make it looks even longer.
Her chin/jaw is also bolder and more to the masculine side compared to Ella freya more graceful traits.
She looks great..? Interesting critique
@@Buddy-Love i don't think her face is too long, but the translation of models from motion capture to in game always makes the faces stockier/wider -- detroit become human had this issue too (it was most prominent w/ connor IMO). i really just liked the straight cut as opposed to the wispy rounded bob more; it looks more period accurate and i think it's cuter
@@holyfool5605 while is true that the translation between real life and cg model is almost never 100% accurate, i think they definitely did a better job with claire and jill. Despite not a fan of Jill.
Ashley (imo ofc) is barely watchable under certain lights and cutscenes. And the hairstyle chosen doesn't help to fix a head model that is already a bit masculine.(Usually there are specific suggested hair styles irl for each face shape to obtain a balance in the geometry). Here they went full bean.
If u compare her cg with real ella freyia u will see they are 2 'similar' but different worlds.
@@Buddy-Love You DO know that those RL anime-looking girls have their jaws surgically shaved to be more pointed, right? It's not natural.
Looks like am the only one who liked original Ashley than Remake Ashley.
She is supposed to be Young.
Of course she is going to act bratty.
I liked her better because she at least has a personality rather than being "Nice Woman" in the Remake.
Don't bother commenting because I don't care about anyone else's opinions on the matter LOL
I Agree
She have 20y at OG to.
You liked og Ashley because she sounded like she was getting plowed in her cutscenes. Dont lie.
I agree.
Ashley is just a girl
Not a woman.
And she is the President's daughter afterall...
Another big change, the OG Ashley is clearly younger (both in appearance, and mindset), like a typical beverly hills teenager, while the Remake Ashley has a more mature personality (in comparison).
They both still have 20 years old, the OG Ashley just didn't acted like it, she acted like she was 15/16.
Okay hear me out..the parasite purging scene..the OG kinda like they want to get hurt but be pretty🤣🤣and ashley be like "ungghh ngghh urghh" she is um so um...controlling like no after effect after getting surgery 😭😭. where i like the part about the remake where they are so dramatic. We can see the pain like how ashley scream like how human should be in pain like "ARGHHHHARGHHHH WAARGHHH" while crying which is more sense to me..if me im gonna try to kick leon like telling him how hurt it js..but then here it is..the OG..not saying its bad just umm..U KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN!!🤣🤣🤣and also if realized Ashley so concerning and keep asking leon if they were a team or something..come on leon..
4:38 OG Leon and Ashley still got enough time before the plagas infected their bodies, so Leon offerred himself to try the Plaga Removal first because they didn't quite sure if the machine is working. Once Leon made it safe, he then let Ashley.
6:06 Remake Leon and Ashley are badly infected so Leon prioritized Ashley for the sake of his mission. There is no other better way. It also adds up more dramatic momment.
The OG Ashley reacts the way anyone in her place would react. And compared to OG Ashley, the remake Ashley is far too dπmb while fighting with the Ganados, coz OG Ashley would be always right behind us & listen to our commands. The remake Ashley is so hard to protect. She's either too slow or stands in the line of fire.
Truth
What? Remake Ashley reacts how anyone should also. That would then be an ai/mechanic issue and not a character issue. Which varies depending on the game because I had zero issues with her standing in the line of fire since I used the stand back mechanic during combat.
I think we have to understand here that ever since RE7 the franchise tent to shift back toward horror oriented style which were lost in with RE4 OG, 5 and 6. So it is understandable that Ashley would be more of a quiet character to suit the atmosphere.
The dialogue between OG and Remake is like the old-style tv commercials of actors talking awkwardly vs modern commercials where actors speak more fluidly.
I like the old Ashley and I like the new Ashley. I miss her ears though.
