@adamkeasey655 no it's not, it's very descriptive. A remaster is the same game but with technical improvements. A remake is a brand new game but that follows the original source material very closely. A reimagining is a brand new game but with medium to massive changes like completely overhauling level design, story, characters, etc.
Man, I don't want to disagree with you, but you said the wrong thing about Leon's pistol. In fact, the creators weakened all the pistols in the game, especially Red 9 and Blacktail, to force gamers to use Silver Ghost. Why? Because in the original game Silver Ghost was used very little and gamers usually changed it to a more powerful pistol like Black Tail after reaching the castle, which was logical apart from the fact that Silver Ghost had a better final upgrade that was accurate shooting. That's why they made this feature even better in the remake, where one out of every 5 shots would cause instant death, and the laser multiplies the accuracy of the pistol, which is very enjoyable. I have to say about the knife, I was also against the breakable knife at first, because it was very annoying, but after playing for a while, I realized the goal of the developers, they wanted the knife to become a part of the gamer's strategy to advance the game and not just A dry and empty mechanic, don't lie. In all the 20 years that I played this game, I rarely used a knife and only against kruser. After doing this remake, I went back to the original and used the knife mechanic more, which was an interesting experience. I have to say that I don't disagree with any of what you said and it was a good video, I just wanted to share it with you. Continue and good luck.
the capacity upgrades refilling your ammo were deffo intentional; RE5 keeps it btw, the reticule from 4make is even more ridiculous when you consider that in 2make where Leon is on his 1st day on the job, the reticule shrinks at a way faster rate and has less sway and bloom. hes literally more accurate as a rookie cop than as an elite government agent
Very interesting video. Not what i expected and the direction seemed to go in different places at times, leaving me wondering where this is leading, but it followed through with some very good points. 👍
@@pauloricardo-wn6ps it doesn’t ‘replace’ it bevause nothing can. People are being insanely unfair towards the remake though. It’s better than any resident evil remake.
When I watch the skill ceiling ( world record speed runners and challenge players) for shooting and in re4 remake It’s definitely skill based. People aren’t rng missing. I’m not trying to défend the game but I’m Just saying what I saw. That said lots of people hate the 4 reticle and people maybe succeeding in spite of it Another thing i found was the knife is actually the most useful weapon in the game. , that’s why it’s breakable for balance . You can head stab kill a downed plaga but you need good resource management skills to decide ammo vs knife. There’s also it’s defense n the huge emphasis on sneak kills When people run the game or do no damage challenges etc the knife lets you stealth play and it’s a massive chunk of what your doing… actually the reboot doesn’t play like re4 at all if you take this combat system to the max - which some people don’t like
Then why even remake re4 in the first place if you're going to change so much that it might as well be it's own separate game? The original game gave you plenty of ammo and made the knife have no durability and yet still had some tense and horrific moments. The remake barely gives you any ammo, still expects you to gun ganados down who are now more aggressive and utilizing the knife with limited durability means you're SOL when it breaks mid fight. Every action/design choice feels counterintuitive with the core philosophy, you can't have horrifically limited resources (even with crafting) and still demand the player kill 10-20 enemies in a single go (castle water room anybody?)!
most speedrunners do pause-aiming because of the sway IMO the knife is really useless outside of dealing damage to bosses or minibosses like chainsaws/garradors. the dropped knives are sufficient for parrying & plaga kills bolt thrower is better for saving ammo and dealing with said minibosses and it actually has some general combat use (its god tier on cabin)
1: Being able to move while aiming is NOT a bad thing, sure it may have added to the survival horror element in the original but you make it sound like something bigger than it is, if anything RE4 remake and OG had more action than horror. 2: Yes, The laser dot sight is more accurate than the crosshair, but while using guns in the OG you had to be directly aiming at an enemy to see the dot, the crosshair is always on screen making it less confusing to navigate your aim, it's more or less a preference thing but jesus you can just buy the laser dot sight if you REALLY hate the crosshair. 3: The knife being breakable makes sense, in the original the knife gets treated as a way to safe money and bullets since it's unbreakable, but in the remake it's treated more like its own thing, I mean you can parry enemies and silenty kill enemies which one shots them, making it infinite would theoretically mean you are pretty much invincible. its good the way it is, its not supposed to be a penny pincher and you can upgrade its durability too, and if it breaks its not taking up space in your case since you can just send it to storage. 25:46 that makes the game more balanced, having one gun exceed than all the others would just make make the game feel broken, I know some weapons are better than others but not to the extent of making the game unbalanced. You are completely wrong about the remake small changes that you mention here are not only wrong but its painfully obvious you're a nostalgia boomer, god you are so fucking biased.
@@Stanzbey69 I think the parrying was a pretty good addition, but the knife durability is so annoying and unnecessary. They should've just removed the ability to kill stunned enemies instantly and made the game fun
This is a complete misread of the games changes. Now reticle aiming is obviously worse than the laser sight bur the other points exist to make the game functional. The knife had a single use in the original where as the remake allows it to be infinitely stronger with more uses such as surviving 1 hit kill enemies along with parrying which you didnt showcase once. Ammo crafting is added so you can create what ammo you need most at the time because due to the knife acting as an escape tool for defense which is a simple trade off. If you tried applying re4 gameplay in the remake youd have a miserable time of wasting knife on enemies who dont stagger to a basic slash every time because the game was made to be faster, more aggressive and far more resource heavy than the original where most enemies could be staggered with a fuckin single tmp shot into kick into knife. Its far more dynamic and deep
REMAKE! For the love of god man it isn’t a remaster. This is an important distinction. A remaster involves releasing the same game with higher quality which is what you expected. A remake involves significant change to story, characters and or gameplay, which is what the game is and was advertised as. Re 4 remake is not flawless, but there are common talking points in this video that I can counter. First bloom. The comparison to hunt showdown is irrelevant as bloom is implemented in entirely different ways in both games, but let’s counter your claim on hunt anyway. The skill factor of those perks is when to deploy them. If you get rushed and surprised it gives you the option to use a high damage, high fire rate, low accuracy option if you aren’t confident you will win the traditional fire rate but if you use it at range you will get nothing out of it and will likely be killed by a more accurate player, this is a skillful decision making process. As for RE 4 remake, bloom works differently. For one it only affects pistols. Shotguns are shingle shot and close range and the semi out variety has less spread to compensate for fire rate. Snipers don’t have bloom at all and machine guns are fully auto so bullet spread as you hold the trigger is just how that type of gun works. With handguns bloom is designed to balance the fact you can move while shooting and can be removed by either buying the laser sight or STANDING STILL. If you stand still and lock in your shot, there is no bloom but if you run around or spam ammo down range there is. This is to balance the fact that you can move while shooting, encouraging you not to, while still giving the player the choice to do so if the need arises given the increased enemy speed and aggression, allowing you to put some damage out while repositioning. This means any time you are missing because of bloom, you are making a mistake and not playing skillfully, or are making the active decision to take a hit to accuracy in order to move. Both of these are based on skill. This is the best way shooters have found to balance the greater control the player has over the character because if you gave Leon the exact same laser system from the original with the advanced movement and the ability to move and shoot, the game would be too easy for most people. The way bloom is used in this game does not lessen the amount of skill needed to be good at it because rather than just copy paste the system from COD and Halo like you claim it does, the devs put actual thought and ingenuity behind the system. You can prefer the original more, there is nothing wrong with that, however it is completely personal taste and not a testament to one’s quality over the other. It is not the games fault you lack the skill to use it effectively, and to be fair I lack the skill to use tank controls as effectively given they were outdated by the time I got into gaming. The knife in the original is bland and basic. Not bad mind you, it does what it needs to do. The knife in the remake is much more powerful, upgradable, and you can have more than one. This is to balance the more aggressive enemies. In order to keep the knife from being over powered they gave it durability. This gives the player much more engagement on how to use their money and inventory. Do I repair the knife or upgrade it. Do I focus durability so I don’t need extra knives in my inventory, do I focused damage so every use is more affective, do I upgrade a gun instead. Not only are knives usefully enough to warrant these questions, but the cost is balanced so that you can reliably make these decisions as long as you are responsible with your money. The stronger knife is also necessary for the much stronger enemies and it is now useful in more situations, increases the depth of the players decision making, and is a bigger part of resource management. This is objectively better than the OG knife in every way. Your argument for why it isn’t can essentially be boiled down to I like the other one better as there is no measurable way in which it is actually better. “You can sell it for a better version later on.” Yes, and it’s an excellent character moment for Leon, he has grown past who he was in raccoon city and bested his commanding officer in combat earning his knife and using it as a show of both his growth as a character and a show of solidarity to a man he respected who he had to put out of his misery. Again, this is better in every way to the original which shows how cool Leon is. Also, you don’t need to sell the combat knife, you get Krauzers anyway, it just makes it easier to upgrade. So both mechanically and story wise this knife is an improvement, you being bad at resource management with knife upgrades, durability, and inventory as well as a lack of combat proficiency with your inability to avoid grabs doesn’t represent the games quality. You also don’t mention parrying at all which is a massive fucking oversight. Also how you came to the conclusion that you should sell the knife is beyond me. This is one of the stupidest things you can possibly do as the knife becomes a great tool midway through the game and, much like holding off on ammo upgrades or selling the rocket launcher in the original, is a sacrifice of short term gains in favor of the long term. Essentially, you not understanding a games systems, doesn’t make the game or its systems bad. It’d be like me saying the OG is bad because I have to stand still and refusing to understand why the game is designed that way and working with the systems provided to get a better understanding of them. Organize your Cache, there are several items you can combine in that image and you can organize things by item type so it looks cleaner. This is obviously not an issue with the game and you do admit it’s a petty gripe, but you still clearly didn’t put any effort into working with the game and instead just claimed it was bad. This is the primary issue with the entire video. I’m not perfect, I do it to and would expect anyone to call me out on it. The crafting system does not mean you don’t have a meaningful ammo economy, it simply links the economy more with player choice, circumstance, and even money if you are just shy of an upgrade and have a spare small part. The comparison to dead space 3’s ammo system is just blatantly wrong. Different ammo requires different resources while sharing others, this means you have to make the decision of what ammo is more important while also doing the math to see what combinations of ammo you can create. This is an apples to Oranges comparison and is a terrible argument. The ammo exploit complaint is a complete skill issue and is just you complaining that the REMAKE did things even the slightest bit different. They are not the same game. If those are your most important criticisms I’m shocked. This was my game of the year and I recognize some actual flaws. Ada’s portrayal is boring and lifeless, Sadler is a non existent villain for 90% of the run time, Helicopter run wasn’t removed or changed for some reason. There are legitimate flaws in the game that you ignored for terribly thought out complaints. I’m glad you are passionate about the original and I’d love to hear more of your thoughts on dead space because you made some interesting comparisons. I know I was harsh on you but I don’t actually dislike you in anyway and I’m just tired of the same unsupported complaints being shared when there is so much actual good and bad in the game to talk about with the vast majority being good and you just kinda happened to be the straw that broke the camels back. Keep making videos and I hope to see a dead space three video soon. Especially because I think we can both agree that game is absolutely terrible.
@@led-0185 Or maybe, creativity has been rendered obsolete because people will just settle for ok/the same instead of looking for something better/new
Something about the low-energy, "idrgaf but here's what I think about this now f- off" drawl just makes these more interesting to listen to than if someone else were to read the script.
8:45 this take is so fucking based, as a fan of the souls games and the re series, this connection is perfect to the genius of both franchises contribution to gaming media and their revolutionary influence in the space.
I know this doesn't take away from the critique, but there are plenty of mods out there that allow you to adjust the weapons and systems. I spent a good week adjusting the values so you now walk without annoying innertia and you aim with laser precision with all guns and every enemy stuns like the OG every time consistently. Yes these are mods so it doesn't count, yes it make the game insanely easy with free movement so I made the enemies a LOT harder to compensate and I still completely agree with you critique, in fact I'm WAY more disappointed than you seem to be so I feel you 1000% BUT I have to say, OG style modded remake is pretty damn good, I highly recommend it. ^^
Name a more nostalgia based review than this, I'm convinced this guy played the first chapter of the remake then just left it, so he could go back to the original, there are so many things he gets wrong, this is such a half baked review man.
Anyone remember needing to get the other space suit (fur coat) in Dead Space 3. So you could surive on a planet that couldn't be colder than the vaccum of space, which you'd think your beginning "space" suit would suffice for. Edit: Also, good video. I was fairly disappointed with this remake. And when I critisized it, people would lose there minds, like good fanboys. The original is easily in the top 10 games ever. I'd keep going back to it over the years, and it's still super fun, despite the tank controls.
Devil's Advocate here, pretty sure the suit was visibly torn to shreds after the crash. But I get where you're coming from. Edit: Just rewatched some footage, yeah his suit got busted up bad.
The vacuum of space isn't cold. If anything, you run the risk of overheating because there's literally NOTHING to absorb the heat radiated into you by the sun.
TL;DR - All I heard can be condensed to "Skill issue, no exploits, game bad.", while every argument voiced is personal taste but presented as unnmovable truth whith which I must agree because "hands down" was said by Frank Fontaine II. Horrible arguments and horrible attempt to appeal with "Hands down X". RE4R is Hands down better survival because it has better resource managment without ammo exploit, harder to stagger enemies and much more active enemies as a whole. RE4 enemies balanced around low character mobility and cluncky controlls, which is seen perfectly in Bella Sisters footage from Your video. I'll take RE4R knife over RE4 (Which is different blade than Krauser) because of how much more usefull it is than RE4 knife is (Barrel breaker and feet slicer). You can parry, prevent instant kill, stab or slice legs like in Re4, break barrels, instant kill in stealth, instant kill to prevent parasite popping off. And ofc all this powerful option drain currency. RE4R Crosshair gives higher stopping power when it turns small (From not moving) so You get benefit from playing RE4R like RE4, it also becomes pinpoint accurate. RE4 sway is more random than crosshairs in RE4R, I waste same amount of ammo in both games, but feel I can land more consecutive shots in RE4R. I love RE4, my first PS2 game I'll never part with. But holy cow, arguments in this video hands down is worst compare I had to listen.
@@Yeshua_is-Cooltrue, but I’m pretty sure this guys talking about the modern remakes and has never played that game since it’s stuck on a dead platform.
uh. krauser and leon don't have the same knife? your own video literally showed two different knives as you said that. Different ridges, different size, and Krauser's has a design near the cross guard that leon's doesn't. Also, resource management is at its height in the village, i.e. the first 15-20% of the game, which is sensible because it's when the game as its most horror-ness, but once you get to the castle, and for the remaining 80% or so of the game, you will never have to worry about ammo if you simply have moderately competent aim, and especially if you utilize melee. Which is sensible because that's when the game really comes into its most cartoonish action movie-ness, what with the whole saving the president's daughter, fighting commandos, and goofy villains. Your analysis of RE4 is poor at best. LOL at selling the rocket lawn chair immediately being a pro-level strat. Sure bud. Play how you want. Love all the salt towards RE4 remake as if it wasn't the best action game of 2023, maybe tied with Armored Core 6. RE4 OG is amazing and I love it, but it's been remastered and ported to every possible platform. If you want to play RE4 HD, it is so easy to do so. RE4make should not have just been a carbon copy of the OG, for the same reason it's good that Silent Hill 2 Remake wasn't a carbon copy of that game. Cry more, nerds.
"Erm, achtually the knives aren't the same because they're slightly different"-☝️🤓 Bruh, the point he's trying to make is that they look similar enough to be connected, just like Leon and Krauser
I don't think that makes you seem old, it's perfectly logical that a game that popular would have cheap imitations that completely missed the point and mess everything up
@@JacktheStripper-tc5pnim saying RE4 fucked up the RE formula. Not saying RE4 isn't good it's just so different from the other games that it changed the series going forward

It’d be like me saying the OG is bad because I have to stand still and refusing to understand why the game is designed that way and working with the systems provided to get a better understanding of them. Organize your Cache, there are several items you can combine in that image and you can organize things by item type so it looks cleaner. This is obviously not an issue with the game and you do admit it’s a petty gripe, but you still clearly didn’t put any effort into working with the game and instead just claimed it was bad. This is the primary issue with the entire video. I’m not perfect, I do it to and would expect anyone to call me out on it. The crafting system does not mean you don’t have a meaningful ammo economy, it simply links the economy more with player choice, circumstance, and even money if you are just shy of an upgrade and have a spare small part. The comparison to dead space 3’s ammo system is just blatantly wrong. Different ammo requires different resources while sharing others, this means you have to make the decision of what ammo is more important while also doing the math to see what combinations of ammo you can create. This is an apples to Oranges comparison and is a terrible argument. The ammo exploit complaint is a complete skill issue and is just you complaining that the REMAKE did things even the slightest bit different. They are not the same game. If those are your most important criticisms I’m shocked. This was my game of the year and I recognize some actual flaws. Ada’s portrayal is boring and lifeless, Sadler is a non existent villain for 90% of the run time, Helicopter run wasn’t removed or changed for some reason. There are legitimate flaws in the game that you ignored for terribly thought out complaints. I’m glad you are passionate about the original and I’d love to hear more of your thoughts on dead space because you made some interesting comparisons. I know I was harsh on you but I don’t actually dislike you in anyway and I’m just tired of the same unsupported complaints being shared when there is so much actual good and bad in the game to talk about with the vast majority being good and you just kinda happened to be the straw that broke the camels back. Keep making videos and I hope to see a dead space three video soon. Especially because I think we can both agree that game is absolutely terrible.
fire video
old thing good,new thing bad
tl;dw
new thing not as good*
to be accurate
He explains in detail why, but I guess zoomers can't understand anything that lasts longer than 30 seconds.
@@led-0185 i basically summarized the video lmao keep coping you dunce
@@led-0185 Or maybe, creativity has been rendered obsolete because people will just settle for ok/the same instead of looking for something better/new
"I didn't hear your argument but it's bad"
okay bozo
Too bad Veilguard didn't come out in time for an Halloween video... that would have been a horror themed video.
I was disappointed with this game, the RE remake is still the gold standard.
Something about the low-energy, "idrgaf but here's what I think about this now f- off" drawl just makes these more interesting to listen to than if someone else were to read the script.
8:45 this take is so fucking based, as a fan of the souls games and the re series, this connection is perfect to the genius of both franchises contribution to gaming media and their revolutionary influence in the space.
Good video
I know this doesn't take away from the critique, but there are plenty of mods out there that allow you to adjust the weapons and systems. I spent a good week adjusting the values so you now walk without annoying innertia and you aim with laser precision with all guns and every enemy stuns like the OG every time consistently. Yes these are mods so it doesn't count, yes it make the game insanely easy with free movement so I made the enemies a LOT harder to compensate and I still completely agree with you critique, in fact I'm WAY more disappointed than you seem to be so I feel you 1000% BUT I have to say, OG style modded remake is pretty damn good, I highly recommend it. ^^
Impressively wrong.
Name a more nostalgia based review than this, I'm convinced this guy played the first chapter of the remake then just left it, so he could go back to the original, there are so many things he gets wrong, this is such a half baked review man.
Anyone remember needing to get the other space suit (fur coat) in Dead Space 3. So you could surive on a planet that couldn't be colder than the vaccum of space, which you'd think your beginning "space" suit would suffice for.
Edit: Also, good video. I was fairly disappointed with this remake. And when I critisized it, people would lose there minds, like good fanboys. The original is easily in the top 10 games ever. I'd keep going back to it over the years, and it's still super fun, despite the tank controls.
Devil's Advocate here, pretty sure the suit was visibly torn to shreds after the crash. But I get where you're coming from.
Edit: Just rewatched some footage, yeah his suit got busted up bad.
The vacuum of space isn't cold. If anything, you run the risk of overheating because there's literally NOTHING to absorb the heat radiated into you by the sun.
TL;DR - All I heard can be condensed to "Skill issue, no exploits, game bad.", while every argument voiced is personal taste but presented as unnmovable truth whith which I must agree because "hands down" was said by Frank Fontaine II.
Horrible arguments and horrible attempt to appeal with "Hands down X".
RE4R is Hands down better survival because it has better resource managment without ammo exploit, harder to stagger enemies and much more active enemies as a whole.
RE4 enemies balanced around low character mobility and cluncky controlls, which is seen perfectly in Bella Sisters footage from Your video.
I'll take RE4R knife over RE4 (Which is different blade than Krauser) because of how much more usefull it is than RE4 knife is (Barrel breaker and feet slicer). You can parry, prevent instant kill, stab or slice legs like in Re4, break barrels, instant kill in stealth, instant kill to prevent parasite popping off. And ofc all this powerful option drain currency.
RE4R Crosshair gives higher stopping power when it turns small (From not moving) so You get benefit from playing RE4R like RE4, it also becomes pinpoint accurate. RE4 sway is more random than crosshairs in RE4R, I waste same amount of ammo in both games, but feel I can land more consecutive shots in RE4R.
I love RE4, my first PS2 game I'll never part with.
But holy cow, arguments in this video hands down is worst compare I had to listen.
Glad someone agrees with me haha. I think resevil2make is the best of these remaky resident evils we been getting...
Yeah no the Resident evil 1 remake is the better remake than any of the other ones
@@Yeshua_is-Cooltrue, but I’m pretty sure this guys talking about the modern remakes and has never played that game since it’s stuck on a dead platform.
uh. krauser and leon don't have the same knife? your own video literally showed two different knives as you said that. Different ridges, different size, and Krauser's has a design near the cross guard that leon's doesn't.
Also, resource management is at its height in the village, i.e. the first 15-20% of the game, which is sensible because it's when the game as its most horror-ness, but once you get to the castle, and for the remaining 80% or so of the game, you will never have to worry about ammo if you simply have moderately competent aim, and especially if you utilize melee. Which is sensible because that's when the game really comes into its most cartoonish action movie-ness, what with the whole saving the president's daughter, fighting commandos, and goofy villains.
Your analysis of RE4 is poor at best. LOL at selling the rocket lawn chair immediately being a pro-level strat. Sure bud. Play how you want.
Love all the salt towards RE4 remake as if it wasn't the best action game of 2023, maybe tied with Armored Core 6. RE4 OG is amazing and I love it, but it's been remastered and ported to every possible platform. If you want to play RE4 HD, it is so easy to do so. RE4make should not have just been a carbon copy of the OG, for the same reason it's good that Silent Hill 2 Remake wasn't a carbon copy of that game.
Cry more, nerds.
"Erm, achtually the knives aren't the same because they're slightly different"-☝️🤓
Bruh, the point he's trying to make is that they look similar enough to be connected, just like Leon and Krauser
@@JacktheStripper-tc5pn i'd say more than slightly- again, different shape, different size, different design on the blade
@@jesseharper6669 Those are only slight differences, if someone were to duel wield them, nobody would ask why their knives look so different
@@JacktheStripper-tc5pn yeah okay bud, sure. you're right- they're the same.
I'm still one of them boomers who think RE4 fucked it all up. RE1 to 3 are PERFECT
I don't think that makes you seem old, it's perfectly logical that a game that popular would have cheap imitations that completely missed the point and mess everything up
@@JacktheStripper-tc5pnim saying RE4 fucked up the RE formula. Not saying RE4 isn't good it's just so different from the other games that it changed the series going forward
@@Fahrenheit38 I agree, Code Veronica should've been RE4 and RE4 should've been a spin off, either that or it should've stuck to the formula and been RE5
Re4make 🤮
You are objectively wrong lol
