@@Gruntvc I saw videos of Resident Evil village and it feels over the top on many aspects. However, certain scenes if it does give me that Resident Evil 4 vibe. In particular, the chase scene when you're running away from the Lady D. Not too crazy about the camera angles.
The flow of this game is just unmatched. It stays thrilling from front to back and you find yourself going “ah yes. this part” on just about every chapter of the game. I adore coming back to this game.
*Ashley:* Hides behind Leon when there are enemies around and tries to keep out the way. *Sheva on ATTACK mode:* Runs *exactly* where a rocket launcher shot is going to land.
I miss the gruesome deaths you had to watch Leon suffer through in RE4. One could say that’s only been brought back in spirit in RE8 but nothing quite can match it. I think Dead Space takes the award for being the one game to outdo this one aspect of RE4. (That and walking/strafing while shooting is COOL)
It is one of those little things that turns down the campiness of the game. A massive wake up call that Leon is only as badass as you allow or play him to be and nothing is gonna save you from dumb decision making.
I have no nostalgia blindness for this game; played it for the first time a few years ago as an adult, and have beaten it 3 times since. Definitely one of the few 10/10 games I've ever played
I’ve beaten this game probably 30 times at this point across almost every platform. It’s just so well put together, I love it. I love the OG resident evils too, it really just depends on what mood I’m in.
Yeah the boat areas, the fishing, merchant, treasures, and inventory all inspired by re4. Really made the game a lot more fun than re7 (not saying it was bad)
@@kikohogod5704 I enjoyed resident evil 7 but felt a little to slow for me considering i have played every resident evil game this one felt a little out of place with the franchise
Probably the best word to describe this game. I remember my dad didn’t like how many shooters I was playing when I was little, so to try to scare me away from them he bought me RE4 for PS2 and unfortunately for him it had the complete opposite effect.
@@mrbig4514 that's what a game series is. A story based on the same characters, or in the same setting or place, they might change characters every game and then. Before you say, jill has had little games I know, but she has MANY movies, maybe too many.
I remember playing the game as a kid, I thought the dialogue was badass and super serious. I'd beaten the game at least 5 times back in the day, yet when I replayed the game a couple years ago from an adult perspective, I finally realized just how campy and goofy this game's script really was. The dialogue is still badass regardless. 10/10 game.
Leon is a genius. He often jokes to keep his cool and sanity throughout his mission instead of taking them too seriously and let the crazy sh*t he is facing overwhelm him like it happened to Chris in RE 6.
I played this game 10+ years ago and the one very distinct thing I remember is that “LEON..HEEEEELLLP” I don’t know if I’ve exaggerated it but that is burned into my mind, me and my brother still joke about it to this day. Thought she was so annoying 😂😂
It’s insane how well this game holds up. Like divorcing myself completely of nostalgia, I still believe that this is one of the greatest games of all time.
Nah, it's not nostalgia, I've played it for the first time a few years back and had a blast, I even spent a whole week getting 5 stars with every character and stage in Mercenaries
@@ayrtonjoga i played the game for the first time ever recently (finished it today) and i completely agree! i was genuinely amazed by how well a game so old still holds up to this day.
There is no reason to use that shit in the first place unless you want to make it a boring experience or if you are a 10 year old kid that finds everything hard.
@@thousandyoung I mean you only get it after completing Professional mode. Why make your professional mode unlock a shit tier weapon that’s not worth the effort. *Cough* ROCKET PISTOL FROM RE8.
@@carljohan9265 for real. my first play through i remember the water room being easy then the second i preserved all my ammo almost never got touched and dominated until i got to the water room... i couldnt for the life of me figure out how i did it just fine my first playthrough but struggled on my second when i was clearly much much better at the game.
12:55 the Giggity caught me off guard and I'll admit, I laughed out loud in real life. So happy you've reached 100k, last I was here you were 90k :P Keep it up Critical!
The REmake better have Mike bringing Leon to a good bar. And a secret "overtime" ending. EDIT: Also, myself and my friends created a points system for "REathons" where we'd speedrun through RE 4 together with three TVs side by side beating it in one sitting. We did about 10 of those.
I’ve played this game countless times, I probably go through it once a year at this point. Classic asf. Also the Matilda is a nod to “Leon the Professional” some girl named Matilda in that movie, and that’s why there’s a difficulty called professional.
I have completed it probably over 30 times in different devices and over the course of almost 8 years Yes. I got the game in 2014, kinda. My brother got the GC game since idk probably 2008, but I just never played the game because I was still a kid and never felt interested in it. All I liked was Spiderman 3 and Sonic Adventure. But then in 2014, my brother bought Re4 for the ps3 and hell yeah I played it. I still play it, in the wii. My ps3 broke. And I have also played it In PC, the crappy iOS and Android version.
I think the puzzles were genius tbh. Not the puzzles themselves but the warioware-esque abundance of them to pace the gameplay in such a fluid way. The game is rarely frustrating and we have the 3rd grade level puzzles to thank for it
@@LonghornsLegend re4 and re5 arent much in the way of survival horror. sure there are survival horror aspects but those two games alone prove that resident evil isnt strictly survival horror in the same way re1 or 2 or really every other re aside from 4 and 5 are. personally i never liked re 1 or 2 for the same reason i still havent cared to play re7. re5 was pretty boring and only playable with coop but re4, for me, is an amazing game that i still play to this day.
@@FIREDAN075 i agree, it is a very nice blend. probably why its the most popular because it satisfies both styles to some degree but neither perfectly but also perfect in its own right.
People bring it up and I try to think about a time in the game she is legitimately annoying. I guess that one time she being taken away in the castle and you need to snip a bit. Been a while could be misremembering.
I’ve personally not mad at the president’s daughter, I’ve willing to admit in some way she managed to eased the tension of playing in professional difficulty.
@@thefakebanette3483 Agreed, she has never been difficult to care for or annoying to me. As long as you’re taking care of yourself and keeping enemies away like normal, then then there is nothing to worry about. I guess the only time she is really annoying is the cutscene that was mentioned in the video lol
I prefer the enemy feedback in resi 4 over resi 8. In 4 your bullets stagger the humanoid enemies with each hit, so even a shot to the head with a pistol can knock them off balance. But in resi 8 the enemies soak up bullets before being staggered, making them feel more bullet spongy.
@@barackhusseinobama9593 had like 90000 remasters and ports BUT NONE OF THEM ARE WORTH IT! check out re4 wii. Not even widescreen mode. and ps2 has it. It's just a zoomed in 4:3 and stretched, looks blurry as heck. What about ultimate hd? Awesome 60fps, gamebreaking update. This game needs a real remaster. They did a good job at remastering textures, but it still has a lot of flaws. Not worth the money.
RE4 and RE6 have very different design philosophies. Saying they are the same because they are both over the shoulder action games is like saying Halo and Half Life are the same because they are both first person shooters which is absurd. RE6 doesn't put any emphasis on positioning which is basically the foundation of RE4's design. When Leon aims, he has to ground himself, this is key to everything in RE4's combat loop. Your only real way of dispatching threats forces you to be immobile while using it, and given that space is such a powerful dynamic in video games, the effect on gameplay is enormous. It forces the player to be mindful of their position and of where they choose to stop and fire. It creates meaningful decision-making because the wrong choice can have dire consequences on your ammo and/or your health. Say there're three enemies getting really close and you only have 3 rounds left in your pistol, what do you do? In any other TPS you could just back up and reload and then keep shooting, all in one motion. But in RE4, you can only do one at a time, so which action is the priority? and where should you execute them? You're constantly making decisions and plans. RE4 forces your to commit to your action because you can only do one thing at a time, that's precisely why you can't move while aiming. It forces you to think about when or where to do what. it creates a tug of war over the ground between Leon and the enemies (spatial dynamic). The player wants Leon to keep his distance, while the enemies attempt to close in on him. This push-pull relationship contributes to the inhale-exhale flow of the shoot-outs. The closer the enemies are to Leon, the easier they are to shoot, but the more likely they are to attack him (spatial dynamic and risk/reward). Leon can gain ground by stunning and then fly-kicking enemies, but they need to be close to him/he needs to run over to them to execute the attack (risk/reward). The cool down after the fly-kick, where the player has no control over Leon, balances the mechanic and extends the risk/reward. Even if we talk about two games that have similar design, that doesn't mean they are both of the same quality. We still need to decide which game is better designed overall. Just Look at RE1 remake and RE0. RE1 remake is way, WAY better designed than RE0. So you can still love RE1 remake and not enjoy RE0 even though both games are similar. Saying that you should love RE6 just because you love RE4 (or vice versa) is nonsensical.
@@ArabianFreedom they are but it doesnt change how it feels for certain individuals. even if they are different, a person would still feel like its the same thing
@@itsjustvin7630 it depend on the person. I think re4 has so much better quality than re5 or re6. People who understand about quality will know about this. There's so much meaningful shit in re4, compared to re5 or re6 which just a plain action game. Re5 and re6 don't even added to the GOTY list.
When this game first came out on PS2 I picked up the collectors edition in the metal case with the collector card and bonus DVD. Still have it in mint condition and I’m currently playing this masterpiece on PS4 about 5 times a month. You were right...some of the new games can’t hold a candle to this badass work of art.
Damm after watching this video I ummm... I never thought I’d say this but I appreciate Ashley a lot more. You actually made a really good point as to why she’s far better than other AI character that get themselves killed left right and centre.
It never gets old! So true! As a lover of RE6, RE4 is nothing like RE6. Yes both have a more action focus but that is an extreme simplification of them!
RE4 stays in an odd middle ground between a modern action game and its survival horror heritage. That's the main reason I consider it to be rather bland. I started playing RE4 after I had completed original trilogy and RE6 (not mentioning RE5 but that one I had played as a child). Sorry, I tried to like it, maybe my expectations were too high, maybe my experience gathered in RE6 make the game too easy, but I was bored playing it. Maybe if fanboys were not trashing RE6 so much then I would enjoy it more. Yeah, lovers of RE4 are hypocrites, RE6 is the natural evolution of that game. After all The Evil Within by Shinji Mikami chooses the same direction.
@@Bodzio2M do you play on PC? If so, try the RE4 Tweaks 1.8 mod. It makes aiming and movement a lot more fluid, precise and intuitive. With it, there is no reason to play the garbage RE6, besides coop.
@@Bodzio2M I do not disagree. I don't like it (hence I calling it garbage). But thats a matter of opinion. You like it, thats why you say it does not deserve the hate. Many people hate it (specially RE purists) for many reasons, so it gets the hate. Some of these purists hate 4, the one I love, and its fine. But there is a reason it has a 96 score in metacritic. Some people say 6 deserves the hate, others like you say it does not. Its ok, we all have our taste and opinions, and I get you are sharing yours.
Bro I’m trying not have high expectations the developers was trying make it close to original but the changed the developers to make it more like 2 and 3 remake which suck ass
@@thevoidcorrupted7848 hope they make it like re1 remake. Remove nothing just add to it and improve it really hope they bring matt Mercer for voice of leon and have the original re4 face model
I'm more interested to play RE4 VR, but I'm not buying a Facebook VR to do it. Bring it to other VR headsets, especially PSVR. I could actually afford that 1 as they had a great bundle sale.
This game was ground breaking when released, was so different to the previous resident evils. Played it with my brother and cousin back in 2004 on my game cube and was totally blown away by the graphics and gameplay. After the 3rd game I didn’t think they could take the resi series anywhere else and honestly thought it was finished. How wrong was I!
I feel like i need to play this game before i die cause like.. this is the perfect example of a game that seen as "YOU HAVE TO PLAY ONCE IN YOUR LIFE" kind of game
Play it. Beat it for the first time 6 months ago and have since beaten pro, and unlocked the hand cannon by 5 starring mercenaries. Then beat the game another time, getting the exclusive for the hand cannon. Then again for a victory lap. 0 regrets
Same, but at 10 years old. I used to lay under my bed (perks of being a kid) and watch my dad play RE4, and whenever the chainsaw guy showed up I'd hide my eyes afraid of him. Wasn't long tho till I played the game the first time myself so apparently I wasn't too scared.
I randomly decided to play this game again after a long time the same night that this video was uploaded. It’s like the universe is telling me to do another playthrough, which is inevitable since I do the same thing you described at 2:00 where I wind up blasting through the whole thing without even realizing it. This game never gets old. Edit: God the save room theme is so eerie yet comforting and all-around nostalgic, brings me right back to the mid-2000s.
I love Resident Evil 6, I can replay that game any day of the week. Same goes for 4... and 5... and 7.... and now 8. I think I just really like playing Resident Evil games
Same. Granted, I can see why people would dislike some of the other games, but everyone enjoys games differently. As for me, I've loved every one I've played up to now.
I’ve got a game over due to her in only one situation. In a n island chapter, i’ve beheaded some dudes with a shotgun. One of then had the plagas head. But somehow ashley stayed down as if i was still aiming at the enemies. The plaga hitkilled her then 🙄
@19:24 Also if you equip Costume 2 (Knight Ashley) when Leon tries to catch Ashley (from Jump Down prompts), Leon will bend to his knees whilst catching Ashley and waking up touching his back (probably Leon's back is hurt). A very subtle detail that is easy to miss too.
Last summer I got my friend to buy this game on the switch when it was on sale, he's seen me play it a few times before and wasn't very impressed, but once he got used to the controls and finished the game in a couple weeks he told me RE4 was now one of his favorite games of all time, I'm sure you can imagine that made me really happy to hear
Only problem RE3 Remake had was length, I was kinda shocked how short it was. I had a great time playing it but I felt like Nemesis encounters were rushed through.
They could have done to RE3 what they did to RE4 considering how damn linear it was. Unfortunately, RE3 was both linear and short that it stripped the game and ruined a potential masterpiece; had it had three or four more explorable areas, it probably would have a more respectable ranking.
It is a pretty fun game. I really like collecting a bunch of treasure and sharing resources but I remember one bit that I was not a fan of. Whoever is playing Sheva has to mash a button nonstop for like a minute at the end of the game, Whoever is Chris has to mash buttons too, but he doesn't have to be worried about falling in lava or Wesker slowly creeping up on you while you're mashing the buttons
This could not be stated any better. You absolutely captured my feelings on this game perfectly. Not one word or feeling or even video clip of the game shown was out of place. I absolutely, unequivocally agree with this assessment.
Any time you are beneath Ashley and use the aiming to try to look up her skirt this happens. If she’s standing on a platform she crouches and pulls the front of her skirt down as she calls you a pervert.
Love the "Crow" movie reference at 8:23 lol legit made me laugh harder than I know in my heart I should have. RE4 will forever be my favorite game and at 24 years old and having played it first when I was 11 I find myself crying like a little bitch longing to he 12 again locked in my room playing re4 with a coke and bag of hot cheetos without a care in the world. The nostalgia is so heavy and heartbreaking yet I'm thankful I got to experience this game like I did.
I've literally purchased this game on every console known to man, and beat it on every single one of those versions, and you know what, I can't wait for the remake as well as the VR version, this game is prolly my fave of all time!!!...
Funny timing; I was playing this game on GameCube this Thursday. Yes, it absolutely is still one of the best games ever made. Also, I love the GameCube controller layout for this game.
I played this game when it came out in 2005 on Gamecube and absolutely loved it. I didnt play it again until last year and I enjoyed it just as much as when I was 15, or even more. Complete masterpiece.
my brother played this literally nonstop and he is the reason why i even know about resident evil. although I couldn't play it as a child because i was scared out of my mind, the game still holds a special place in my heart along with re5 (hate me, I know) but re5 was the first game he bought me for my xbox 360 and the first one i could actually play through. Also I feel like we all have this love hate relationship with Ashley’s ai lol
i was always unsure about res 4 however after watching this i have now bought and downloaed it and added the new hd graphics . im a little late to the party but im enjoying my first playthrough
This game is something that I always find something new Last year, I had my kicks whiff and this year I dodge Krauser, but since I did the QTE too early, he actually hit me after I did the backflip This didn't bother me, I thought it was funny af
for inventory system, it's something i like the most out of resident evil 4 it feels real and natural to have this kind of inventory and you can't just pick everything without consequences you have to manage ur inventory space in the most efficient way as possible and it did feel satisfying i kinda want this system back in remake
I finally played this in 2022 because I'm a huge RE fan but I could never get into 4-6 cause I felt it went too far into action. But I finally played and beat 4 and its now my favorite, it's such a good game and it still holds up great after all these years. Excited for the remake but I'm not sure that it even needed one.
Or you can just cheese the room by running back and opening the door you came from and vaulting over the windows on your left. They can't get you while you're over there giving you free shots to shoot them while they are airborne for an instant kill.
Blows my mind that the game restarted development in only 2003 and was released in early 2005 considering the level of creativity going on. Either they reused buttloads of scrapped content from earlier iterations, or Mikami and his team are just that good.
Third person shooter games since RE4 still fall short of RE4's glory one way or another. Whether it be the encounter design, level design, gameplay loop, pacing, enemy variety, boss fights, replayability, etc. Some games may have surpassed it in certain aspects, but none of them deliver such a fun and complete package as RE4. I feel confident in saying that this game will continue to go unchallenged in its genre as modern design trends and the rigors of modern development put a ceiling on what's realistically possible. It's a special game from a special team.
One huge fault with the argument that RE4 caused the decline in the series is that it overlooks the fact that a lot of the old guard left Studio 4 for clover, including series lead Shinji Mikami. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the remake, because at this point not a single reviewer has had the gumption to point out the gameplay deficiencies.
If You try to say something bad about the remake, a lot of people will start to insult you and say that you should thank Capcom for selling you a "new" game that cut things
God I really don’t want them to remake this. It’s perfect the way it is and it’s my go to whenever I’m bored and run out of games to play. I know every secret like the back of my hand. Just fucking perfect.
I played the game on release when I was 23. I honestly still think the game is scarier than it gets credit for. Not as much so as the first few games, but much more unsettling and creepy than people would have everyone believe. When it gets dark and it's raining, the only time you see things is when the lightning strikes and you see a demon dog's eyes right on front of you. That got me the first time
Played it for the first time after so many years, and I guess younger me didn't even pick up on how silly Leon's one liners are, but adult me absolutely appreciates them haha. And Ashley's AI holds up really, really well for an older game. Hearing you break down the more technical parts of the game makes me appreciate and love it all the more--I didn't even really notice a lot of those things until I saw this video (like balance and the enemy movement). My only two big gripes about the game are lack of subtitle options and I can't adjust the audio for separate things.
My all time favorite game. Played through it over 100 times. I'm a big re4 collector. Have over 150 re4 pieces between clothes, games, collectable, etc.
RE4 was a very radical change for the series. It was great then and it's great now. The game walks that fine line between silly and cool. It's got just the right amount of both to always keep you engaged. I still laugh at the cheesy lines and still get into the action. It's a game that you can't just play for a bit, you just have to finish it.
After almost ten years of saving the pup trapped in the woods I told myself, "you know I just RPG El Gigante anyways....I never even see the dog...". and I've been saving him till this day.
Its a timeless classic. In my opinion, this game does not need a remake. Its like the godfather or back to the future of movies that does not need remakes.
6:10 "there's no enemies sprinting at you wildly swinging an axe". You're right, just a giant double bladed chainsaw in the case of super salvadore in mercenaries water world. And he's the hardest enemy in the game for it in my opinion lol. Also, that song you just barely snuck in at 24:15 made me laugh so hard, I wonder how many people noticed
Yes it is a masterpiece. Though I say the RE1 remake is the best RE game. And so far Village is also reminding me of RE4 like Biohazard (7) reminded me of RE1.
For me as a long time gamer; I have to say I don't come across many masterpieces, however what I do consider a masterpiece is a game you can play them watch another do the same. Therefore re4 and hl2 are the only true gaming masterpieces for me. There are many great games out there,but those to are the peak. Unfortunately these type of games do not exist in game culture these days
Re4 also actually explains, within the plot, why they let him go. At least with the choking guy shown in the clip. He got injected with las plagas and would be a powerful ally once he turned
28:16 It translated flawlessly, I have never had as much fun in VR as I did with RE4, being able to move and shoot breaks the game, but in a good way, that and you can akimbo any weapons of your choice which makes it very equilibrium to play

for the ashley section, i have to say *THANK YOU*
I felt like ashley was unfairly hated, didnt even annoy me that much in when i first played it
Same and I started playing and finished it a week ago
Same, she's a girl, we need to protect her. She even help you in the dark room, opening doors, etc. I don't understand why so many people hated her.
I think most people hate her because they were either bad or trying to follow a trend thinking it makes them cool re fans

I played this game 10+ years ago and the one very distinct thing I remember is that “LEON..HEEEEELLLP” I don’t know if I’ve exaggerated it but that is burned into my mind, me and my brother still joke about it to this day. Thought she was so annoying 😂😂
It’s insane how well this game holds up. Like divorcing myself completely of nostalgia, I still believe that this is one of the greatest games of all time.
I'm excited for the remake
Nah, it's not nostalgia, I've played it for the first time a few years back and had a blast, I even spent a whole week getting 5 stars with every character and stage in Mercenaries
@@ayrtonjoga i played the game for the first time ever recently (finished it today) and i completely agree! i was genuinely amazed by how well a game so old still holds up to this day.
@@ayrtonjoga deadass. Never played it when I was younger only re5 played it 2018 and about once a year since and it’s fucking amazing
As someone who just played and finished re4 today for the first time, I can confirm it's not nostalgia.
WTH?! i dont remember the P.R.L being soo overpowered in the ps2 version
guess they buffed it for later incarnations of the game?
Quicker charge and multithreaded homing lasers at full charge, introduced in the wii version of the game.
IMO it makes it less fun to use. Just clears the room without aiming and that is that just boring.
Yeah they did, it made it more boring tho, the "Super weapon" that is really fun to use is the handcannon
There is no reason to use that shit in the first place unless you want to make it a boring experience or if you are a 10 year old kid that finds everything hard.
@@thousandyoung I mean you only get it after completing Professional mode. Why make your professional mode unlock a shit tier weapon that’s not worth the effort. *Cough* ROCKET PISTOL FROM RE8.
The way it does adaptive difficulty is still one of my favourite things about RE4! The skill ceiling is crazy high but so enjoyable to reach.
some rooms are eternally memorable, like Water Hall on Pro difficulty.
@@carljohan9265 for real. my first play through i remember the water room being easy then the second i preserved all my ammo almost never got touched and dominated until i got to the water room... i couldnt for the life of me figure out how i did it just fine my first playthrough but struggled on my second when i was clearly much much better at the game.
Resident Evil 4 has something that most games fail at. And that's REPLAY VALUE! That what's makes it great
Absolutely. It's probably the only game that I start to replay directly after I finish the game.
RE4 may be the only game I can play through literally 100 times and never remotely get bored of it xD
12:55 the Giggity caught me off guard and I'll admit, I laughed out loud in real life. So happy you've reached 100k, last I was here you were 90k :P Keep it up Critical!
The REmake better have Mike bringing Leon to a good bar. And a secret "overtime" ending. EDIT: Also, myself and my friends created a points system for "REathons" where we'd speedrun through RE 4 together with three TVs side by side beating it in one sitting. We did about 10 of those.
That's a righteous amount of nerdism my good sir
@Dusty late but you were wrong
RE4 is just the perfect balance of action horror and campiness!
I’ve played this game countless times, I probably go through it once a year at this point. Classic asf. Also the Matilda is a nod to “Leon the Professional” some girl named Matilda in that movie, and that’s why there’s a difficulty called professional.
I have completed it probably over 30 times in different devices and over the course of almost 8 years
Yes. I got the game in 2014, kinda.
My brother got the GC game since idk probably 2008, but I just never played the game because I was still a kid and never felt interested in it. All I liked was Spiderman 3 and Sonic Adventure.
But then in 2014, my brother bought Re4 for the ps3 and hell yeah I played it.
I still play it, in the wii. My ps3 broke. And I have also played it In PC, the crappy iOS and Android version.
Oh shit wtf
I think the puzzles were genius tbh. Not the puzzles themselves but the warioware-esque abundance of them to pace the gameplay in such a fluid way. The game is rarely frustrating and we have the 3rd grade level puzzles to thank for it
This is the best game ever. Ive beaten it nearly 200 times. I own it on 5 consoles. It holds up incredibly well

Resident Evil Villages inventory and Duke merchant system made me very happy and the line duke said when going into the shop was priceless
I prefer the enemy feedback in resi 4 over resi 8. In 4 your bullets stagger the humanoid enemies with each hit, so even a shot to the head with a pistol can knock them off balance. But in resi 8 the enemies soak up bullets before being staggered, making them feel more bullet spongy.
That's because RE4 was an over the top action game so you have to be able to kill more enemies
@@vctoothpick1455 ironic seeing current action games go for the bullet sponge motif
RE8 has terrible game design and the RE developers truly don't know where to take the series. They should have stayed on the action path.
My greatest memories are me and my dad playing re4 on the ps2 back in 2006... hard to believe that was 15 years ago🥲
People always seem to neglect to mention Dead Space being a result of Resident Evil 4, which is consider an all time horror classic
Resident evil 4 is just plain fun and never gets old.
Yeah. Never.
Needs a remaster.
@@barackhusseinobama9593 had like 90000 remasters and ports
BUT NONE OF THEM ARE WORTH IT!
check out re4 wii. Not even widescreen mode. and ps2 has it. It's just a zoomed in 4:3 and stretched, looks blurry as heck.
What about ultimate hd? Awesome 60fps, gamebreaking update.
This game needs a real remaster. They did a good job at remastering textures, but it still has a lot of flaws. Not worth the money.
RE4 and RE6 have very different design philosophies. Saying they are the same because they are both over the shoulder action games is like saying Halo and Half Life are the same because they are both first person shooters which is absurd. RE6 doesn't put any emphasis on positioning which is basically the foundation of RE4's design.
When Leon aims, he has to ground himself, this is key to everything in RE4's combat loop. Your only real way of dispatching threats forces you to be immobile while using it, and given that space is such a powerful dynamic in video games, the effect on gameplay is enormous. It forces the player to be mindful of their position and of where they choose to stop and fire. It creates meaningful decision-making because the wrong choice can have dire consequences on your ammo and/or your health.
Say there're three enemies getting really close and you only have 3 rounds left in your pistol, what do you do? In any other TPS you could just back up and reload and then keep shooting, all in one motion. But in RE4, you can only do one at a time, so which action is the priority? and where should you execute them? You're constantly making decisions and plans. RE4 forces your to commit to your action because you can only do one thing at a time, that's precisely why you can't move while aiming. It forces you to think about when or where to do what.
it creates a tug of war over the ground between Leon and the enemies (spatial dynamic). The player wants Leon to keep his distance, while the enemies attempt to close in on him. This push-pull relationship contributes to the inhale-exhale flow of the shoot-outs. The closer the enemies are to Leon, the easier they are to shoot, but the more likely they are to attack him (spatial dynamic and risk/reward). Leon can gain ground by stunning and then fly-kicking enemies, but they need to be close to him/he needs to run over to them to execute the attack (risk/reward). The cool down after the fly-kick, where the player has no control over Leon, balances the mechanic and extends the risk/reward.
Even if we talk about two games that have similar design, that doesn't mean they are both of the same quality. We still need to decide which game is better designed overall. Just Look at RE1 remake and RE0. RE1 remake is way, WAY better designed than RE0. So you can still love RE1 remake and not enjoy RE0 even though both games are similar. Saying that you should love RE6 just because you love RE4 (or vice versa) is nonsensical.
This comment is straight facts.

Couldn't agree more.
When this game first came out on PS2 I picked up the collectors edition in the metal case with the collector card and bonus DVD. Still have it in mint condition and I’m currently playing this masterpiece on PS4 about 5 times a month. You were right...some of the new games can’t hold a candle to this badass work of art.
Damm after watching this video I ummm... I never thought I’d say this but I appreciate Ashley a lot more.
You actually made a really good point as to why she’s far better than other AI character that get themselves killed left right and centre.
24:05
Leon has the legs, but Chris would’ve just punched through those lasers.
It never gets old! So true!
As a lover of RE6, RE4 is nothing like RE6. Yes both have a more action focus but that is an extreme simplification of them!
RE4 stays in an odd middle ground between a modern action game and its survival horror heritage. That's the main reason I consider it to be rather bland. I started playing RE4 after I had completed original trilogy and RE6 (not mentioning RE5 but that one I had played as a child). Sorry, I tried to like it, maybe my expectations were too high, maybe my experience gathered in RE6 make the game too easy, but I was bored playing it.
Maybe if fanboys were not trashing RE6 so much then I would enjoy it more. Yeah, lovers of RE4 are hypocrites, RE6 is the natural evolution of that game. After all The Evil Within by Shinji Mikami chooses the same direction.
@@Bodzio2M do you play on PC? If so, try the RE4 Tweaks 1.8 mod. It makes aiming and movement a lot more fluid, precise and intuitive. With it, there is no reason to play the garbage RE6, besides coop.
@@binho2224 As I've written I do consider RE6 to be a good game not deserving the hate it received.
@@Bodzio2M I do not disagree. I don't like it (hence I calling it garbage). But thats a matter of opinion. You like it, thats why you say it does not deserve the hate. Many people hate it (specially RE purists) for many reasons, so it gets the hate. Some of these purists hate 4, the one I love, and its fine. But there is a reason it has a 96 score in metacritic. Some people say 6 deserves the hate, others like you say it does not. Its ok, we all have our taste and opinions, and I get you are sharing yours.

Bring it to other VR headsets, especially PSVR. I could actually afford that 1 as they had a great bundle sale.
No matter how good the remake is (if there even is a remake), it will be inferior.
This game was ground breaking when released, was so different to the previous resident evils. Played it with my brother and cousin back in 2004 on my game cube and was totally blown away by the graphics and gameplay. After the 3rd game I didn’t think they could take the resi series anywhere else and honestly thought it was finished. How wrong was I!
I feel like i need to play this game before i die cause like.. this is the perfect example of a game that seen as "YOU HAVE TO PLAY ONCE IN YOUR LIFE" kind of game
It def is.
So, did you play it? I'm on the fence
Play it. Beat it for the first time 6 months ago and have since beaten pro, and unlocked the hand cannon by 5 starring mercenaries. Then beat the game another time, getting the exclusive for the hand cannon. Then again for a victory lap. 0 regrets

lmao same
Same, but at 10 years old. I used to lay under my bed (perks of being a kid) and watch my dad play RE4, and whenever the chainsaw guy showed up I'd hide my eyes afraid of him. Wasn't long tho till I played the game the first time myself so apparently I wasn't too scared.
I randomly decided to play this game again after a long time the same night that this video was uploaded. It’s like the universe is telling me to do another playthrough, which is inevitable since I do the same thing you described at 2:00 where I wind up blasting through the whole thing without even realizing it. This game never gets old.
Edit: God the save room theme is so eerie yet comforting and all-around nostalgic, brings me right back to the mid-2000s.
I love Resident Evil 6, I can replay that game any day of the week. Same goes for 4... and 5... and 7.... and now 8. I think I just really like playing Resident Evil games
Same. Granted, I can see why people would dislike some of the other games, but everyone enjoys games differently. As for me, I've loved every one I've played up to now.
Glad you cleared up the Ashley issue. She's not bad at all
I’ve got a game over due to her in only one situation. In a n island chapter, i’ve beheaded some dudes with a shotgun. One of then had the plagas head. But somehow ashley stayed down as if i was still aiming at the enemies. The plaga hitkilled her then 🙄
@19:24 Also if you equip Costume 2 (Knight Ashley) when Leon tries to catch Ashley (from Jump Down prompts), Leon will bend to his knees whilst catching Ashley and waking up touching his back (probably Leon's back is hurt). A very subtle detail that is easy to miss too.
Thank you i thought i was the only who loved ashley
Last summer I got my friend to buy this game on the switch when it was on sale, he's seen me play it a few times before and wasn't very impressed, but once he got used to the controls and finished the game in a couple weeks he told me RE4 was now one of his favorite games of all time, I'm sure you can imagine that made me really happy to hear
Only problem RE3 Remake had was length, I was kinda shocked how short it was. I had a great time playing it but I felt like Nemesis encounters were rushed through.
They could have done to RE3 what they did to RE4 considering how damn linear it was. Unfortunately, RE3 was both linear and short that it stripped the game and ruined a potential masterpiece; had it had three or four more explorable areas, it probably would have a more respectable ranking.
Played it through probably 20 times. Will forever be my favorite game of all time!
Makes me cry on how important this game was to me growing up.
Also resident evil 5 is actually pretty good when played in co op mode
True. Sheeva is a lowkey awful partner
It is a pretty fun game. I really like collecting a bunch of treasure and sharing resources but I remember one bit that I was not a fan of.
Whoever is playing Sheva has to mash a button nonstop for like a minute at the end of the game,
Whoever is Chris has to mash buttons too, but he doesn't have to be worried about falling in lava or Wesker slowly creeping up on you while you're mashing the buttons
Yes it holds up and yes its a masterpiece
No arguments from me, RE4 is one of the finest if not the finest in the Resi series... 💯🎮🤩
Totally
Couldn't agree more
THE finest
This could not be stated any better. You absolutely captured my feelings on this game perfectly. Not one word or feeling or even video clip of the game shown was out of place. I absolutely, unequivocally agree with this assessment.

8:07 Bro I knew it was coming and I've played this game for over a decade and I still got scared by the goddamn Regenerators
There's a scene in the game where Ashley is climbing down a ladder and if you look up her skirt she will call you a pervert, hee hee
What scene is it?
@@mf_nano She does it every time you drop down a ladder and then aim up while she's standing at the top waiting for you to catch her.
She's climbing UP the ladder. She doesn't climb down ladders. Leon has to catch her when she jumps.
Tee hee
Any time you are beneath Ashley and use the aiming to try to look up her skirt this happens. If she’s standing on a platform she crouches and pulls the front of her skirt down as she calls you a pervert.
2:40 Not to mention it made the system shock team develop the first Dead Space!
Love those quiet moments in resi 4, oddly meditative
Love the "Crow" movie reference at 8:23 lol legit made me laugh harder than I know in my heart I should have. RE4 will forever be my favorite game and at 24 years old and having played it first when I was 11 I find myself crying like a little bitch longing to he 12 again locked in my room playing re4 with a coke and bag of hot cheetos without a care in the world. The nostalgia is so heavy and heartbreaking yet I'm thankful I got to experience this game like I did.
I've literally purchased this game on every console known to man, and beat it on every single one of those versions, and you know what, I can't wait for the remake as well as the VR version, this game is prolly my fave of all time!!!...
Funny timing; I was playing this game on GameCube this Thursday. Yes, it absolutely is still one of the best games ever made. Also, I love the GameCube controller layout for this game.
I played this game when it came out in 2005 on Gamecube and absolutely loved it. I didnt play it again until last year and I enjoyed it just as much as when I was 15, or even more. Complete masterpiece.
my brother played this literally nonstop and he is the reason why i even know about resident evil. although I couldn't play it as a child because i was scared out of my mind, the game still holds a special place in my heart along with re5 (hate me, I know) but re5 was the first game he bought me for my xbox 360 and the first one i could actually play through. Also I feel like we all have this love hate relationship with Ashley’s ai lol
i was always unsure about res 4 however after watching this i have now bought and downloaed it and added the new hd graphics . im a little late to the party but im enjoying my first playthrough
This game is something that I always find something new
Last year, I had my kicks whiff and this year I dodge Krauser, but since I did the QTE too early, he actually hit me after I did the backflip
This didn't bother me, I thought it was funny af
its been 9 years since the last time, time to revisit it once again
for inventory system, it's something i like the most out of resident evil 4
it feels real and natural to have this kind of inventory and you can't just pick everything without consequences
you have to manage ur inventory space in the most efficient way as possible and it did feel satisfying
i kinda want this system back in remake
I finally played this in 2022 because I'm a huge RE fan but I could never get into 4-6 cause I felt it went too far into action. But I finally played and beat 4 and its now my favorite, it's such a good game and it still holds up great after all these years. Excited for the remake but I'm not sure that it even needed one.
9:39 Fun fact. You can kill those guys instantly with flashbang grenades
I believe that only applies if they are in the air. One hit from anything while airborne is an instant kill to them.
Or you can just cheese the room by running back and opening the door you came from and vaulting over the windows on your left. They can't get you while you're over there giving you free shots to shoot them while they are airborne for an instant kill.
Blows my mind that the game restarted development in only 2003 and was released in early 2005 considering the level of creativity going on. Either they reused buttloads of scrapped content from earlier iterations, or Mikami and his team are just that good.
Third person shooter games since RE4 still fall short of RE4's glory one way or another. Whether it be the encounter design, level design, gameplay loop, pacing, enemy variety, boss fights, replayability, etc. Some games may have surpassed it in certain aspects, but none of them deliver such a fun and complete package as RE4. I feel confident in saying that this game will continue to go unchallenged in its genre as modern design trends and the rigors of modern development put a ceiling on what's realistically possible. It's a special game from a special team.

One huge fault with the argument that RE4 caused the decline in the series is that it overlooks the fact that a lot of the old guard left Studio 4 for clover, including series lead Shinji Mikami.

@@TheJadedJames yeah because CV is kinda shit
U relies that when the game gets remade the original doesn’t disappear

I played the game on release when I was 23. I honestly still think the game is scarier than it gets credit for. Not as much so as the first few games, but much more unsettling and creepy than people would have everyone believe. When it gets dark and it's raining, the only time you see things is when the lightning strikes and you see a demon dog's eyes right on front of you. That got me the first time
Played it for the first time after so many years, and I guess younger me didn't even pick up on how silly Leon's one liners are, but adult me absolutely appreciates them haha. And Ashley's AI holds up really, really well for an older game.
Hearing you break down the more technical parts of the game makes me appreciate and love it all the more--I didn't even really notice a lot of those things until I saw this video (like balance and the enemy movement).
My only two big gripes about the game are lack of subtitle options and I can't adjust the audio for separate things.
I've finished this game like 15 times, definitely the best game of all time!
My all time favorite game. Played through it over 100 times. I'm a big re4 collector. Have over 150 re4 pieces between clothes, games, collectable, etc.
THATS SICK
@@Kestila I complete this game 50 times and never get boring lol
RE4 was a very radical change for the series. It was great then and it's great now. The game walks that fine line between silly and cool. It's got just the right amount of both to always keep you engaged. I still laugh at the cheesy lines and still get into the action. It's a game that you can't just play for a bit, you just have to finish it.

Youre very mature, realistic and passionate. I heavily fw this video🙏
6:10 "there's no enemies sprinting at you wildly swinging an axe". You're right, just a giant double bladed chainsaw in the case of super salvadore in mercenaries water world. And he's the hardest enemy in the game for it in my opinion lol.
Also, that song you just barely snuck in at 24:15 made me laugh so hard, I wonder how many people noticed
Yes it is a masterpiece. Though I say the RE1 remake is the best RE game. And so far Village is also reminding me of RE4 like Biohazard (7) reminded me of RE1.
RE8 has a lot of elements of RE4 and RE 3.5 in it
For me as a long time gamer; I have to say I don't come across many masterpieces, however what I do consider a masterpiece is a game you can play them watch another do the same. Therefore re4 and hl2 are the only true gaming masterpieces for me. There are many great games out there,but those to are the peak. Unfortunately these type of games do not exist in game culture these days
My favorite game for 17 years and counting
Re4 also actually explains, within the plot, why they let him go. At least with the choking guy shown in the clip. He got injected with las plagas and would be a powerful ally once he turned
28:16
It translated flawlessly, I have never had as much fun in VR as I did with RE4, being able to move and shoot breaks the game, but in a good way, that and you can akimbo any weapons of your choice which makes it very equilibrium to play
