Remake so good the video itself got a remake
Except with better graphics.
Lmao
More of a remaster, really
😂😂😂
👏👏
To anyone who saw this before it got taken down, I salute you.
Do we know the reason why it was taken down? I saw it the first time around and didn't think there was anything in it that would get claimed
Thanks :)
🫡
So that's why I couldn't find it..
Yessir I believe it was removed when I had like 4 seconds left on the vid lmao
Such a good game he had to upload a second time
Hopefully he won't have to re-upload it four times in a row.
@@somerandoladhuh
That means marcus loved the game so much he uploaded it 4 times
No
My favourite part of continuity between this and the re2 remake is after a fight sometimes Leon will shrug or rub his right shoulder the same shoulder he was shot in during re2
That’s actually not a reference to re 2. It’s a reference to the pain he feels from the plagas. He starts doing that after he’s injected.
One of my favorite little details that they kept from the original is the fact that after you help Ashley up something or catch her when she drops down Leon will rub his back slightly it's hilarious
@@SH1NK1R01 yeah I thought that’s what it was
@@calijack2006 that's only when she is wearing the knight suit right? cuz that is heavy
@@theamazingspooderman2697no, that’s a different one
One of my favorite little details is when you go to the shooting range with Ashley, and she sits on a barrel cheering you on, it's just adorable.
Luis also stands on the side and comments on your game too :)
Someone made a mod where Ashley's model is replaced with Leon, he also sits on the barrel and its so funny. I rlly recommend it
"This game truly makes you feel like an evil resident." I fucking love you marcus
As a long time resident evil fan I can safely say; this game is the video game equivalent to that scene in Ratatouille where the jaded tired and annoyed food critic eats the food and flashes back to his childhood and is happy.
That's how this game made me feel for both my playthroughs thus far and I'm so hyped to start playthrough 3 after work tonight lol
Agreed. After not a bunch of AAA games I couldn't even finish bc eventually all the flaws and lackluster padding bored me, playing this reminds me that they can still be fantastic.
And it's not because it had a cheat sheet (though that helped), the way they updated it for modern sensibilities worked mostly perfectly while maintaining the greatness (I do still prefer the original but I get why they did this).
The issue is not us getting old, budgets, gamer expectations, etc. It's that they stopped trying to make fun games but clearly they're still able to if they wanted to and also not be predatory.
The original game takes me back to my childhood and makes me happy. The remake is what makes me into the jaded and annoyed critic.
Yeah I love using the Ratatouille analogy of Resident Evil 4 vs our own Egos. The early 2000s was a time where video games were made as a form of entertainment before there was a certain standard and quality control expected nowadays. Now every game tries to be innovative or new while forgetting about the true essence of enjoyment. Not that new = bad… but RE4 Remake held the perfect balance of feeling new and original, yet staying true to the old routes of previous. There was not a single dull moment or time where I felt “the original did this better” (other than probably some of the characters) because most of the enjoyment was directed to having fun first
This remake reminded me of how fun video games can be. Havent had this much fun since dishonored 2.

Cosmonaut Marky - The Best Resident Evil 4 Remake Review Ever, Again.
Knife in the original is definitely not useless. If you knock them down you can knife them to death to save ammo. Krauser boss fight is easiest with the knife. And the regenerators are the easiest to deal with if you use the knife.
When he said that I thought the exact same thing it's arguably more useful than in the remake
@@neiloconnor7776 It IS more useful than the remake, because it doesn't fucking break in the original.
@@ThatSamoanGuy Its not more useful. Id rather have a knife that can parry attacks and projectiles then one used for opening fucking boxes and hitting down enemies 1000 times
I'm with you on that fact. The knife in the original is one of the best weapons in the game, regardless of your skill level.
If you're a beginning player, it's still useful for dealing extra damage to enemies that get downed after a melee attack as well as enemies that mantle or climb up ladders.
And at a high skill ceiling when you completely understand how the combat works, you can use the knife to overcome even the most overwhelming of encounters thanks to how consistent the stun areas are. Walk back when an enemy attacks, run forward to them on recovery and knife their head to earn that context sensitive kick for crowd control. Even works Salvador if you're brave enough.
@@nolanlehman6392 I’d say the knife in both games is as useful as each other for different reasons. But for the video to say it’s useless in the original is just 100% false.
4:47 holy shit! I just finished playing this and didn't even realise that's Marvin's knife! Just shows the developers actually gave a shit when they made this!
If you went the whole game's stort and didn't know, than it wasn't very important.
@@ThatSamoanGuy of course it isn‘t important. It‘s just a knife. But the fact that they went through the effort to think about this/add this little detail is just so… perfect. Not every detail needs to be super impactful or stuff like that. They can just be what they are… details. That doesn’t diminish their presence or the game overall. It’s just a neat addition
that's not possible, I buried that knife into a zombie's neck 3 minutes after he gave it to me and never went back for it
@@nouh3053 canon leon is not as stupid as you
@@nouh3053 Just goes to show that, canonically, Leon took care of the knife
"the knife is useless in the original" lmao it's the best weapon in the game if you know how to use it
Low-key, I want Marcus to review the sopranos
Sopranos is having another spike in popularity like Breaking Bad did in 2021. .
Gabagool!
@@aexcezz9573 best thing to come out of the admittedly mid movie. It did make me a fan tho🤷🏿♂️
@@telophasemusic whoever invented that shit definitely had the makings of a varsity athlete
@@aexcezz9573 nah the breaking bad spike started in 2019 with el camino
Not only did the original RE4 set the bar for third person shooters and the VR version set the bar for VR versions of games, but the remake set the bar for remakes.
This game is just magic and brings the best out of devs.
No, RE1 remake set the bar for remakes.
It did not censor or remove content like RE 2-4 remakes, it only added more content.
@@RyuSaarvado you mean the cut boss that was the weakest boss of the original? This game is as long or even longer. This is the best remake ever made. You get more out of each character as well.
@@bcanimacoes6280 There is a lot of cut content, not just one boss.
I’d still argue Alyx set the bar for VR games, but I agree with the other two points.
@@RyuSaarva I think a good remake reimagines something imo. Not saying the RE remake wasn't great but it didn't really update the formula for new audiences so it undersold.
Which is fine bc it was making a PS1 game a bit more palatable but it still played like a PS1 game. As opposed to RE2 and RE4 remakes.
I am not a fan of all the changes made but I completely get why. Otherwise you can just play the originals
If you shoot the church bell in the opening village/chainsaw sequence you can trigger the bell cutscene immediately and end the sequence. Really excited to find out what other emergent gameplay things can be done.
You really said the knife in RE4 is useless, dafaq? That shit is over powered, get an enemy down and it’s an instant kill.
Yeah that sounded like a scrub take for me, you don't even need a gun to kill most ganados
For real, the blocking looks great but the knife in the original RE4 was indestructible, you could honestly kill most of the town with just the knife, except for the chainsaw guy of course.
@@CaminoalInti you can btw, Dr Salvador was easy as fuck, you just needed to learn how to dodge his one very slow attack and he was toast
Yeah, that had me do a double-take, too. Kneecapping a ganado, kicking them to the ground, and then wiggling my knife at them was how I killed like 60% of the dudes in the original RE4.
Agreed, knife is ridiculous in the OG, only people who didn’t learn to use it would say it’s bad.
Absolutely agree. When this was first announced I was also in the boat of “it doesn’t need a remake”. I slowly became more excited and within day 1 I was absolutely floored. How do you remake one of the greatest games ever? Make it even better!
Ashley is so much better in this game. For one she looks and acts more like her actual age, 20. Besides that her character and gameplay are just better all around and I was actually kinda missing her in the sections without her. One of the best improvements to a weaker aspect of the original, this remake is so good.
How is a 20 year old supposed to act while kidnapped? Or do we forget that she was kidnapped and believe that she was there because she wanted to be
I absolutely disagree in terms of gameplay lol shes awful in the remake 😂
@@ItsOceanOfficial Agreed, shes just as bad now as she was back then, but at least back the. you could tell her to sit wherever you wanted, and she actually DID IT.
@@ThatSamoanGuy Ashley’s way better in the original. It “feels” a bit better in remake because they made her AI almost invincible. In the original her AI was almost perfect for what it was and only people who couldn’t manage her complain. If you’ve done more than a single play through you know she’s extremely easy to work with, while in this one, you don’t even have to worry about her except for scripted events
@@hotnessgaming1396 calm down I was mainly talking about her presentation she's just a better character. But I still think gameplay wise she's still fine and now there's even some strategy with her like stabbing kidnappers in the back for a quick kill
Loved this game so much, glad Marcus did too. It'd be fun to see him play, review, and rank every RE game like his LoTR/MCU/Harry Potter Videos.
honestly great idea
Marc please do this 🙏
I have not been able to stop listening to Krauser and Salazar's boss themes since my first playthrough. The composer seriously popped off.
The fact that you finished the video with the RE4 theme song and not the usual fighting game tune made me smile 😊❤️
One thing I really appreciate about this game is how it doesn’t actually invalidate the original game, I’ve heard many lament the loss of certain set pieces and while I do sympathise on some I think it’s cool that they chose to do things not exactly the same, when re4’s original version is available on virtually any platform and will seemingly continue to be until the End of time it makes it nice that we have 2 versions of the game which both take their own directions in certain areas to give two worthwhile experiences
ure not wrong, the remake has made me appreciate the old game, whats bothering most OG fans is how the hype train tries to invalidate the OG game, the remake is a good AAA game no doubt, but it lacks the soul of the original which is what some people wanted, i know many didnt even play re4 in order to wait for the remake and now are here to defend their 60 dollar spend without even having experienced the original game and will just say its bad or that the remake is the actual masterpiece because they cant ge their head around 2004 controllers which btw are much better than the clunky movement leon has in the remake except for the parry (i guess) anyway im not gonna buy this bullshit remake which slaughtered all the characters that made the original re4 so charming.
I started playing the original and I had the exact same thoughts. “Why can’t I move and shoot” but now I know how it works and I love it
i think it was actually a decision to make it like that. people back then knew about gaming mechanics and frame data, these new millenial developers just care about the glossier graphic effect they can make and it fucking sucks
Cosmonaut spoke with such love about this game, that I just had to watch the video again, so freaking cute see him talk about something he actually likes
🙄
bro the meatriding 💀💀💀💀
Calling the knife from the original game useless is the most insulting part of this whole video. Stunning and Brave sir
It's almost like he played the original completely wrong
@@DS3Enjoyer the only use of the knife is for slashing enemies when you kick them and if your kick doesn't stun all the enemies you can't really slash them,and breaking boxes.
@@user-ku2hr8bo7d you missed two important uses. Killing Kruaser as He takes very high damage from the knife, enough that knifing kruaser is the current strat used in most RE4 speedruns, and killing the regenerators if you don’t pick up the scope, a knocked down regenerator gets infinitely stunlocked by the knife
@@s-boy4613 I don't see the krauser strategy as playing the game I see it as I don't want to fight this annoying boss regularly so I am going to stun lock him to death every time he comes close to me and regenerator method removes all the tension and fear from fighting them because you don't need a good aim to do it and it is not very hard.
@@user-ku2hr8bo7d man, you're soooo cool
Even after I've beaten the game through twice now, I just can't stop thinking about it. I don't think I've been this in love with a game in almost 20 years.
Personally, I think Leon knows Spanish in the OG game. How else was he reading those documents where some were obviously the villains' private diaries or confidential information? He deliberately kept that skill a secret so that they'd let their guards down and leave such info lying around
video game magic. that’s why.
The Krauser fight was soooooo good and the added backstory made me feel for him.
My favorite new bit of lore is the blue flame. After you use it as Ashley, you realize that's how the merchant gets around unharmed.
PSA: Don't just skip ahead to where you left off when the video got demonetized and taken down, because the new video won't know that you've already watched those first 4 and a half minutes. Help Marky with the algorithm and watch it again for that sweet sweet retention tracking
I know it's dumb, but just the fact that thw characters have spanish accents (the original have mexican accents) made me really happy
No wonder when I was a kid I thought they were In Mexico lol especially with the orange ish tint the old one slightly had
the knife is actually useful in the original fight with krauser. he goes down much faster in every fight with him when you use the knife instead of guns
Glad this game is more of a Resident Evil 2 type remake instead of a Resident Evil 3 type remake
Imagine thinking Re 3 is an important game to remake to begin with.
@@jackjax7921 it’s not even a bad remake though
I still liked the RE3make, but the biggest problem with it is that it felt about as underwhelming as the original RE3 felt, imo. The original RE3 was criticized at launch for feeling like it should've just been an expansion to RE2, and the RE3make felt like it should've just been a DLC story for RE2make, so I guess it's about as good as it always was lol.
@@beancheesedip8337this might be the most insightful thing ive ever heard somebody say about the re3 remake
@@beancheesedip8337 It's super real but also kind of unfortunate since y'know the whole best thing about remakes is the idea of taking bad games and making them good
speaking of the music, i really hope they wont dissapoint with the remixes of the 5 characters from mercenaries
ada's theme is amazing in that mode!
Bro I love OG RE4, that was my very first game as a kid and has also been my favourite for a really long time, but this remake makes the original one look like a CLOWN. It's better in any way and i love it, I can't believe it's real and we can play it
Incorrect. The knife in the og has *two* uses: it open boxes and it beats Krauser. Like... instantly.
It’s Also good for saving ammo. Shoot in the head, kick them, then slash at their downed body. Rinse wash repeat and it’s super satisfying
@@thebrokenpuppet2714 IYou can also just run pass most of them. That's more quicker.
@@thebrokenpuppet2714 and also u can deflect projectiles like asex or arrows with it too btw
@@thebrokenpuppet2714 Hell, if you’re good enough you don’t even need to shoot. Stabbing them in the knee or slashing the face is capable of stunning most enemies.
Bro I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 10/10 on your channel. Def a must have
This game and the Dead Space remake is exactly how a remake of a game should be fun engaging, fixing problems enhancing the game play but also keeping the story the same but also adding the new things and expanding upon what's already there
Watching this made me feel joy, I'm so glad this game didn't fail but rather exceeded expectations.
You did NOT just say the knife in Resident Evil 4 is useless..
Knifing downed enemies saves you tons of bullets
How TF is that useless?
@@HeavySandvichGuy1 you don't need to save ammo tho they give you plenty and even then it takes forever to kill them with the knife in the og, in the remake the parry alone makes the original knife lame af
@@Hypersense-gv2ve nah, in early game, especially on Pro, it’s smarter to knife the enemies or let them use dynamite on each other. It’s best to save pesatas to get the Striker and forget about the thermal scope cause you can easily knife the Regenerators and Iron Maidens. Krauser boss fight is also easier with the knife.
@@Hypersense-gv2ve It’s best to stop knifing enemies in the Castle cause the Zealots have more health
I'm pretty sure after RE7 Capcom developed a serious addiction to critical praise. Just about everything they've put out since then has either been good or fantastic. Having recently been converted to being a Dragon's Dogma fan I'm unbelievably excited to see that sequel in the next couple years. A new Dragon's Dogma made in the RE Engine with this current Capcom? Sounds phenomenal.
The knife was useless in the original?!? What are you smoking and please share with the class.
They actually do have a QTE in the Del Lago fight if you don’t hit him with a harpoon before he tries to devour your boat, Leon will stab him in the mouth with a harpoon, and it’s pretty sick.
as someone who only got into resi with 7 & 8, these remakes have made the earlier entries- specifically, 2 and 4- soo much more accessible
The knife was not useless in the original. I swore by this anytime I knocked enemies down.
Dude the bonus round song is such a frigging banger its insane
amazing and considerate of you to create a vod channel! you seem like a chill streamer!!
Never really played the first RE4 as a kid as my parents were mega-scared of their kids playing "evil" horror games. Just finished Remake for the first time and I can wholeheartedly say it is basically the best action horror game I've EVER played!
Awesome story! Amazing gameplay! The pacing between the highly intense moments and the casual exploring/treasure hunting was honestly perfect for me. I loved every single minute of this game's playthrough and have no doubt that I'm gonna dive right back in very soon!
I would totally watch a Resident Evil retrospective video if you decide to make one. Love the series.
You're the first person I've heard talk about the small details
That part with the ganados with the dynamite in the same room with the regeneradores had me screaming with you. Keep up the good work 😂😂😂
Damn that knife comment really pissed of alot of the og re4 fanboys lol. It's hilarious seeing their reactions to this game. There could have been the smallest changes in this remake and they would have thrown a fit and had a tantrum about it like they are now
I get the feeling that you're not playing RE4 and Dark Souls the same way.
You showed me something new today. I didn't know that, in the Mendes fight, you can activate the prompt to stab his weak point from the top level, and change the animation to a jumping stab. I'm willing to bet it does more damage from up there, too.
There’s actually a QTE in the fish fight if you don’t hit it when goes at you head on. And it’s a pretty cool/silly QTE
7:31 I’m going through my second playthough, and the fish boss actually has a button mash QTE, but only if you don’t land a your harpoon shot when it comes directly at you, still my least favorite boss, but the game is great, I loved every second of it,
when you said 'it's a good time to love resident evil, that made me so happy i love this franchise with my heart and makes me smile the love is receiving lately
The first four RE games are just so much damn fun. I'm a huge fan of George Romero's Dead series, so those games take escapism to a whole other level for me.
Spacemaker
Ah.. my daily fix of Cosmo
The remake making it clear that Saddler is actually controlling anyone with the Las Plagas in them make so much sense.
It makes me really happy to see things like this. I love people loving things!
This is great to hear because the way 3 got treated after the masterpiece that was 2, I was really worried about 4 lol
The idea that this game feels exactly how it felt back then is just amazing. We always talk about how remakes or remasters make games look exactly how you remember them looking, but this is also updating gameplay while keeping its essence. Making it feel as smooth, dynamic and fun as it was back then.. except today it isn't at least 2 of those 3 things, because the gameplay feels quite dated (it's still really fun though). I really love what this remake did. The demo was enough to sell me on it. The village felt pretty much the same as it felt all the way back when I was a kid coming back from school and turning on my PS2 to cowardly get through the intro sequence once again.
You know how people say “you saved my life” to TH-camrs and it’s like “how? How is that content something that can solace someone’s life?” Well, I take channels like Cosmonaut and when I’m really really down, like losing it, I remind myself “well, you don’t want to miss the next Cosmonaut/Wisecrack/Dreading etc.” Having content that’s this solid reminds you there’s also a lot of little things that, when added together, make life a lot more awesome. So thank you Cosmonaut team. ♥️
I'm glad I was there for the streams they were fire
Knife useless in re4 og? No way dude, it's very usuable and almost op
6:25 I was screaming , Marcus just absolutely being a unit, that was tight af
Man I love the background music used for this video
its funny because i feel like you can easily get used to how the original controls after like.. 10 minutes. Thats how long it took me then i had a blast playing it, still holds up imo
It’s a nice in between the OG tank controls and the (eventual) third person controls.
You could say, RE4 walked so Third Person Shooters could run
The greatest cosmonaut variety hour video- again
10:26 Ramon's theme goes so hard I genuinely had to pause the game and go to spotify to listen it
1:40 video start
is how good the knife parry feels in the remake that you cant play the same way in the original like how good the dodge mechanic was in Part II that you cant play the same way initially when you get back to Part I?
edit: clarifying, i meant TLOU Part II and Part I
Fucking mood, this is exactly how it feels and it’s great
i watched this video earlier today, i will now be watching it again.
My heart starts racing just hearing that music at 10:00.
Really great experience for the video to be taken down while watching. Missed you cosmonaut!
i wish i could experience the shooting range bonus theme for the first time again, i had the goofiest grin on my face the whole time
I CANNOT stop playing this game either. Doing my last professional run to get the platinum now and its been one of the best gaming experiences in a long time ❤
the saddler fight music is stupendously good
It’s funny that you mention the “every game needs a grappling hook” rule, because this game might even have that too in the inevitable Separate Ways DLC
I'll watch cosmonaut a thousand times before I let this channel die! Demonitization won't stop me!
I wasn’t willing to try any Resident Evils until I played Alan Wake 2… and I learned some mechanics were take from RE4. Well that got me very interested.. and so I got RE4 remake. This game fucking rules. Thank you, Capcom. Thank you very much.
The soundtrack during mine cart sequence 🤌🏾
The shooting range song is such a bop
For me personally, the music in the original RE4 is good. They used a lot of stock sound effects but you can tell the people who made the songs were creative and were doing their best with what they had. I can cleanly hear a lot of the tunes of the original in my head, they're quite memorable to me.
I was gonna wait until this went down in price a bit because I've beaten RE4 OG like 100 times but after watching this I will be buying it immediately. Thank you for this!
Happy re-upload! How whatever issues with the previous video have been solved
Also love how your knife in the original game is Krausers knife now (I know he had an identical one but still cool how that knife design still in the game)
Happy to see Cosmo happily gushing about this game, again 🙂
Marcus, this is the second time in a row you showed us this video
Marcus got into the sopranos at the same time I did, and I'm very happy to see him reference it
That soundtrack that played when you fight against Ramon blew me away…. So hat was my favorite theme in the whole game.
The fact that we got this and dead space remake in the same year is just wonderful
Facts
I snorted out loud when he said the game makes you feel like a real resident evil
watching the vod is worth it alone to see marcus vs the lab puzzle
I really liked the 10 minute commercial at the beginning! We need more commercials because it really makes yt FUN.
It was so entertaining watching this stream
There are certainly Evil Residents in this game. 5 stars.
Probably a few more than 4 though
The Residents of the village are rather…
Evil
there are 4 evil residents im sure
@@playmygamelinkinbio I’m pretty sure there’s at least 4 evil residents in the game. I know I killed that many at least.
I also really like the intro to the game I can’t get over how cool that whole cutscene was.
awesome video, i liked your commentary and explainations! subbed!
