Resident Evil 4 – How Do You Remake One Of The Best Games Of All Time?



Resident Evil 4 is a fascinating reimagining of the original 2005 classic, which does raise the obvious question – how do you go about remaking what was already one of the best games ever made?

  1. Both in Village and in this one the devs really, really, seem to be nailing the idea that peasants and their built environments are astonishingly decrepit and just gratuitously layered in filth and squalor.

  2. I love how I think to myself that just stuffing any old gems into a necklace with no regard for aesthetics would hurt me, and literally right after that I find out that there's a system rewarding you for putting in gems in an aesthetically pleasing fashion.

  3. I feel you Jon, at the end there. There is something off about it. For me personally, I think it's the combat. The combat, somehow feels more clunky and awkward than the original. I think part of it is Leon's weirdly heavy and weighty movement, though on top of that I also think the aiming just feels awkward at times. And the greatest sin they committed with this remake was, absolutely, the fact that the shotgun no longer really works as the, 'I win against this mob' button. The fact the shotgun can't knock down 10+ Ganados with one blast anymore hurts my soul, deeply. It also hurts me that buying capacity upgrades for an empty weapon no longer gives you a full magazine of free ammo. I don't know why they removed that, it was a cool and neat trick. It makes me sad.

  4. Gameplay looks nice, but the dialogue… leon's voice actor is fine but not the same, needs to be deeper, the line deliveries dont hit the same way, and the chat with luis at the end of the video was..
    Not great.

  5. Having never played the original RE4, I was enjoying the atmosphere at the very beginning but as soon as I saw that first enemy encounter my interest in the game honestly just went through the floor. It's immediately obvious that the combat is clunky and that the enemies are annoying bullet sponges. The village fight later on really drives that home. Guess this'll be a pass for me.
