Remake so good the video itself got a remake
Except with better graphics.
Lmao
More of a remaster, really
😂😂😂
👏👏
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.
@@ThatSamoanGuy Stupid Comment.
youtube, let this man upload something without getting demonitized for once
But then how would they pad their profit margins to hide flagging performance due to systemic mismanagement?
F A I R U S E
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 💀💀💀💀
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
The fact that you finished the video with the RE4 theme song and not the usual fighting game tune made me smile 😊❤️
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.
@@حسنحيدرحازم 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.
@@حسنحيدرحازم man, you're soooo cool
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
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.
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 🙏
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.
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.
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
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
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
The Krauser fight was soooooo good and the added backstory made me feel for him.
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 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.
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.
Bro I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 10/10 on your channel. Def a must have
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
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!
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.
Watching this made me feel joy, I'm so glad this game didn't fail but rather exceeded expectations.
The knife was useless in the original?!? What are you smoking and please share with the class.
The remake making it clear that Saddler is actually controlling anyone with the Las Plagas in them make so much sense.
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.
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
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.
“The knife in the original game is fucking useless”
Bro what? That thing was broken
amazing and considerate of you to create a vod channel! you seem like a chill streamer!!
I’d like to know what his favorite games are like a top 10-15 list for a video
This is great to hear because the way 3 got treated after the masterpiece that was 2, I was really worried about 4 lol
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. ♥️
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
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
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.
10:26 Ramon's theme goes so hard I genuinely had to pause the game and go to spotify to listen it
It makes me really happy to see things like this. I love people loving things!
Dude the bonus round song is such a frigging banger its insane
The greatest cosmonaut variety hour video- again
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!
Bruh the knife in the OG is still one of the most OP knifes in resident evil, period.
Calling the knife "useless" in the original is where I tapped out of this review
"This is as good as remakes get."
"For the rest of time, I will be comparing every single video game remake to this one."
It's kind of amazing to me that we ( _or at least I_ ) used to feel this way about the first Resident Evil Remake on Gamecube.
Holy butts! There's a 6-hour VoD on that stream channel of a first run through New Vegas?! Well, good thing I'm a loser who doesn't need to do anything today, lol.
Capcom do Resident Evil 5 remake please.
Capcom do Resident Evil 5 remake please.
My heart starts racing just hearing that music at 10:00.
To say the knife in the original RE4 was useless was wild I had to rewind it to make sure I heard it right lmao. The knife was your best tool to conserve ammo lol. Prob used it as much as my guns lol
speaking of the music, jacob geller has a very good video on horror game music called “why do horror games sound so beautiful?”
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
It's such a perfect remake. Like I didn't really know what exactly to expect when they announced it and I was blown away playing it. It's one of the most fun I've had in a single player game ever.
"The knife in the original game is fucking useless, like literally useless."
Oh, my sweet summer child.
I'm glad I was there for the streams they were fire
I'm playing the original RE4 (because I'm a student and cant afford a new game), and I gotta say, despite the obvious aged mechanics this game is a ton of fun. The areas, the enemies, the characters, it's impressive. The gameplay aged well enough, you only take a couple of minutes to get used to not moving and shooting. You can see all the love and effort put in the original. It's been a while since a game captures me like this. I'm considering whether if I should spend the 15$ on RE2 next Steam Sale. But this game is truly a classic.
i watched this video earlier today, i will now be watching it again.
2:52
Ashley: *Gets ripped to shreds by a grenade exploding two feet away from her*
Leon: "You alright there, sport?"
Glad someone pointed out the music, I was really impressed by some of the area themes in the game. And of course the Bonus Round music is a bop.
I can't recall a single theme.
I haven't even played a single RE game in my life, but after watching so many playthroughs of the Biohazard, Village, the remakes of the classics, and now one gets a PERFECT 10/10 from Marcus? Yeah, i think it's time i dove head first into this series
I snorted out loud when he said the game makes you feel like a real resident evil
2:11 I hope you upload that Resident Evil 4 randomizer.
I knew this remake was something special when I reached the village swarm segment… and promptly got killed by a chicken.
Like, I guess I moved in just such a way as to anger this random chicken, and it charged me… it didn’t hurt, but it did force me into a recovery animation. The Dr. Salvador behind me really appreciated the assistance.
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.
9:34 About the music...
Remember this is the same company that made PROOF OF A HERO
6:25 I was screaming , Marcus just absolutely being a unit, that was tight af
There's no Resident Evil 4 (2005) without Winback: Covert Operations (N64). I will die on that hill.
Saying the OG RE4 knife is useless is an actual crackhead take, Marcus 💀💀💀
"This game makes you feel like an Evil Resident" As someone who never played the original, that alone sold me to the idea of giving this a try.
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 😂😂😂
Knife was really good in the RE4 OG, but the game shat out so much ammunition that you never really had to use it. Was pretty common to incapacitate an enemy then round house kick (knocking everything back) and then spamming your knife. Rinse and repeat, great for saving ammunition. Alternatively you could knee cap enemies, supplex them and basically do the same thing. I'd call it really OP if you knew what you were doing with it, but I won't fault people for not knowing how OP it is because like I said, the game gave you so much ammunition that you didn't really need to be close to do those cycles over/over again. Knife in the RM is way cooler, parrying feels awesome but it can break. Stealth kills are awesome and when you upgrade the knife with infinite durability it's even more OP. You essentially get the OG knife, with the RMs functionality and more power.
The modernization of the controls (walking, backtracking while having your gun out), barely any load screens on doors, no tank controls, and modernization of the inventory system is amazing. Having sidebars to quickly change weapons instead of going into your inventory every time you wanted to throw a grenade is amazing.
Marcus, this is the second time in a row you showed us this video
Thank you for the spoiler free review. I'm still midway of the game, and I can't stop thinking about this game when I'm not playing it. It just so good, and I just start my RE journey from last year even tho I know about this series almost my entire life. You are very right about starting with RE2, because thats what I did, and I'm hooked to this series. Since then, I have played 1, 3, 7, 8 and of course 4. I hope more people awakened to how good this game series is.
"The knife is useless"
This man has been playing his favorite game wrong all this years
The knife in the original resident evil 4 was very useful. If used right you could conserve ammo very well. You can slash a guy in the face and as he staggered you could then kick him and knock back him and all of his friends. And if you want to win the Krauser fight in less than a minute the knife was the way to do it.
Metroid learned about parrying and now everyone loves it
Didn’t he just upload this?

TH-cam HQ is Gay
When I first played this game I went on standard and died like 10 times in the village took me a few to get used to I knew to go in the cabin like the previous game and get the shotgun I just kept dying game is fire all 16 chapters
Video so good it got a remake
Knife in the OG RE4 absolutely DESTROYS Krauser, you should try it.
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)
If you don’t catch a Cosmonaut video before it gets a copyright claim, you’re not a true fan.
Replayed the original so much it's crazy and practically memorized the map. Played the new game and yes it's worth buying 100% was so taken aback to how beautiful an scary everything was. How so many things were changed and yet the same. What they did with Leon and Ashley and the rest of the character the fact we Louis can fight with us more then just that house part
“Every game should have a parry mechanic”
Man, this pulls how different tastes can run into sharp relief.
I would love it if no game I played ever had parry mechanics ever again.
Mechanics like parrying that “reward” you for recklessly allowing enemies to close distance and attack you are utterly antithetical to what I want from an action game (ESPECIALLY a shooter). I want the game to be about using strategy, terrain, and stunlocks to minimize how often a parry situation would even occur, and failing that I want to be able and incentivized to dodge however I can, not “do it at the last second!” like my character has some death-wish. It “rewards” a very specific sort of barely conscious twitch-reflex over approaching combat tactically. And I keep putting “rewards” in quotes, because the overwhelmingly majority of games with a focus on parry/last second Dodge mechanics don’t so much “incentivize” their use as they are utterly unbeatable without mastering and spamming them to cheese.
Like I am not out to throw shade if you like that sort of thing, enjoy what you enjoy… but in terms of what the industry ought to do, it’s have a variety of different types of defensive options to please different players… cause it’s not just this game that was “made for you” rather than fit to be loved by everyone, parrying is a mechanic for a specific sort of player and a lot of us are super not into it.
I can resolve to “git gud” at a party mechanic I’m not enjoying to get through a game I otherwise like once in awhile, and parry fanatics can play a game they otherwise like that has no such mechanic once in awhile… and that balance is prolly the best things are ever gonna get.
Bro I dead ass just never got the red 9 during chapter 4 for some reason then I watch a walk through after the fact and realize that I thought I sold by not buying it on sale😂
The Knife in the original RE4 is way better. You can beat the game with just the knife.
My earliest gaming memory is of me playing RE4 in a game parlour and paying extra to the shop owner so that he won't delete my save file back in 2006/07. As someone who couldn't afford a PS2 growing up, I spent so much time and pocket money just to play this game. When I was old enough to get my personal(but crappy) PC, I played the shit out of this game through emulators and enjoyed every single minute of it. I recently bought my own PS5 and I can't wait to spend my entire weekend playing the remake and reminisce those memories.
On a side note I have never seen you give 10/10 lol.
the saddler fight music is stupendously good
I am even more excited now. Never played RE4 because it's that old but when I play the RE2 remake my mind was set on RE4 and now it's here and I will play this game to the bone.
Resident Evil 4, the greatest game ever made, again video, again
I can't believe he praised the music in RE2 remake, of all things. The game where all of the iconic area themes were replaced by actual silence, and the original soundtrack was a paid extra.
To this day any discussion about phone problems ends up with me saying They Jacked The Line
My only complaint is, they took out Luis' line when Leon rescues him.
"Little rough don't you think?"
