I regret my life choices Sony's plan worked. OT: The game is so good.
CosTaSsSs Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Ugh! I need to get this ASAP. The game looks fantastic.

The way I held out for Village, Hogwarts legacy, the Dead Space remake, TLOU remake, etc but not for a game I’ve essentially played already on GameCube, Wii, ps3, ps4, and switch What’s more pathetic? That I bought a console to play this game on current gen or that I bought the original version 5(!!!) times over the years???

Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices in order to be able to fully appreciate Leon's HD hair. 33 minutes ago, youreyesgocold said: What’s more pathetic?

Can't wait to read what you think about the remake once you get it.
Brunette Ambition Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) We’re on chapter 4 or 5 already. I’m not really impressed it’s way too campy/silly and barely horror. Like, Leon’s spartan kick and close combat makes it look like a cheesy action film. same with the dialogue, and some of the enemies - the mutated wolves look like venom.

But besides that, every single character interacts with Leon (who still makes corny jokes- charm of the original) in a far more believable manner. The writing on this is great. They literally remade the game with some minor changes and it was advertised as such, I don't know what you were expecting

If you came in expecting a horror game in the same vein as the other remakes, that was an incorrect assumption unfortunately. I actually thought they maybe made the game too serious after playing the demo, but it seems they struck the right balance in being faithful to the original but also basing it in more realism (ie the rockslide trap replacing a giant boulder chasing you in chapter 1)
ninasayers Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 RE4R sold 3 million units in the first 2 days of release.
CosTaSsSs Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 I'm almost at the final chapter! The game is AMAAAZING!
Edibles. Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 I wanted to hold off on saying anything about this remake until it sat with me for a few days. The longer I think about it, the more disappointed I am, unfortunately. Is the game great on paper? Sure. It’s a good game. Now is it a great remake? Not necessarily. The Wii version of this game remains unmatched, idc. Argue with the IRS, not me!
WildAmerican Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) not me starting a new playthrough on NG+/Hardcore difficulty the second I finished the game. Totally diff experience, I screamed when Dr. Salvador CHARGED at me with the chainsaw Edited April 16, 2023 by WildAmerican
Tylerbv Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 I never played the OG and I do like this so far, but I think I preferred the style and simplicity of the 2-3 Remakes.
youreyesgocold Posted September 22, 2023 Author Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) I let the base flop into oblivion because I moved the week RE4 launched and got distracted by life. It took me two months to finally play the game Anyways the DLC is out today and I finished the first two chapters! Ada doing acrobatics with that damn zip line will always be my fave. Her voice actress is still stumbling through mud though Edited September 22, 2023 by youreyesgocold 1
Hook Up Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Ok so the DLC was...fine. Ada's character seems disjointed between how she acts when she's alone (has emotions) compared to when she talks to others (cold). I found the boss fights to be extremely frustrating at times. If you're already injured and mid animation of recovering, I found it was really hard to press O to evade the following attack, resulting in either a lot of health lost or instant death with very little of that being player's choice. Don't give me the prompt if I don't have a choice. The length of this annoyed me given RE3R is basically shorter than a $10 DLC...not this particular game's fault but Jill's arc remains such an underdeveloped portion of the remake timeline. RE2R remains the blueprint imo. Would prefer a Code Veronica remake instead of 5 but we'll see what happens. 5 is such an ugly game imo Edited September 23, 2023 by Hook Up 2
Tylerbv Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Just bought the DLC.. I died almost instantly because I don't know where the catapults are coming from and I kept running in circles Not sure if it was just because I hadn't played in a few months, but I was finding Evading/Melee attacks harder to consistently hit. 1
noonbob Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 I played the first two chapters last night, awesome overall except for the voice, my god it's frustrating to listen to her. 1
Lord Gaga Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 We need revelations 3 focused on Carlos and ada. Hunk and Rebecca can make cameos. 2

Wow a HIT game when you cut the fluff No but really I have never understood everyone’s fascination with faceless Hunk Like I am always serving no1curr but everyone else wants to see more of him

She deserved better.
