Yeah a lot of people would probably say RE2make would be better but they never did it. They teased at it by having copy paste rooms from 2 in Resident Evil Zero which IMO was underrated.
In terms of graphics, gameplay improvements, story, action and so on maybe, but in terms of the atmosphere, nothing triumphs the mansion, also better puzzles.
It’s pointless to compare, all the main pre-RE4 games are great, even CV imo.
This technically isn’t another remake, but as you said, just HD port of more than before a decade done remake lol, so remaking 2,3 and CV would actually be expensive and take lot of time. I bet this port will not have taken more than 3 months.
What do you think of 4 tho? It’s easily on my top 5 list of best games of all time.
A Jill sandwich!
Also yeah, 4 is like one of the best looking GCN games
It is a fucking amazing game. But its not as good as a “resident evil” game. Mind you it still is really nice and atmospheric and some parts still managed to be pretty damn scary.
On an unrelated note, I hate it for making QTE a popular thing to do.
What the guy above said. As a “resident evil” game, RE4 fails miserably, like seriously, the plot doesn’t have anything with the series in general, save few story details like las plagas and it isn’t a survival horror game anymore, despite what the box says.
But as a survival action (yes, it’s survival action, again disregarding what Capcom says) it’s phenomenal.
It’s a technological marvel and also a marvel from gameplay standpoint, since it basically started up what we now know as the modern third person shooter genre.
It has aged quite well imo, but it is dated to an extent of course. It’s not for everyone nowadays, because of its difficulty and controls may be frustrating to some, like there’s no strafing nor moving&shooting at the same time, among other things.
RE4 imo is a great example of a game that is result of the devs not having been afraid to experiment and it was an experiment gone right.
So yeah, I appreciate RE4 greatly for what it is, fantastic game, but a RE game in name-only. I prefer RE5 and even RE6.

Thanks god the remake fixed the script and voice acting, to an extent anyway.
Ouch.
And I’m pretty happy they don’t make fmv like for Resident Evil anymore as well.
Oh man, I’m in tears.
Is that some kind of prodedurally generated dialogue thing, or is it really just that bad?
No, the acting in the original RE was just that bad.
They hired Americans voice actors (if they were even that) living in Japan and coupled with Japanese developers who possibly couldn’t tell a good take from a bad take it was a recipe for disastrous acting.
Believe it or not, there are some even worse (unused) takes in the game files.
Why couldn’t they just make it with RE4’s shooting and movement mechanics? I really hated the static camera of the Gamecube REmake, it just made the game impossible to control.
Because that would require effort and building actual 3D environments.
I don’t get why people have problems with the old RE controls…
This remaster includes optional improved controls.
There was a reason RE always had tank controls. Trying to control a character with up down left right in relation ship to orientation of the screen is really hard when it keeps changing. Using non-tank controls is going to be really weird when you swap backgrounds. I imagine they’ll maintain the direction you where going but then once you have to turn its gonna get wonky.
It’s just bullshit is what it is. They are perfectly capable of building 3D environments for the game, they should just un-fuck the mechanics and make the game fun instead of trying to please the purists.
