fuck this piece of shit game.

RE4 was always shit and it's the one RE game that didn't need a remake. It was already a 3rd person action shooter on Gamecube, and now it's remake is just another 3rd person action shooter once again. So what's even the fucking point?

Ah yes, right, Crapcom couldn't waste this opportunity to milk their favorite cow RE4. They were so eager to do so that they left RE3 remake basically unfinished and completely skipped over Code Veronica just so they could get to the money as fast as possible. And so many of you fuckwits are going to be buying this day one, just as they predicted you would. Then you wonder to yourselves why gaming is in the toilet.

It looks like a 3rd person action game, but IIRC someone made a mod that restored the original camera style from older REs and it plays just like those with it.

Is it me or facial animations only got worse since RE2 remake?

So much noise in the remake scene. The music, I mean.

I never played the RE2 remake with the new music. Tried a few times. Was disappointed there was no old OST for 3.

Theme when you came to the island reminded me of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Really wanna hear how melody-less the remake will be there.

Her response is so boring too. She became "strong woman."

Her response also makes no sense. The guy has no idea what her name is, why would she get mad he called her "señorita"? At least the original had an excuse, giving what he was talking about.

they all look like they're thinking about eating shit, and it just so happens to be their deepest desires. the music is also terrible, makes no fucking sense when the original had actual good music

Reminder to not get your games from these soulless high budget shit shovellers but to get the real games from indies and non-profits, at less cost to boot.

Constant music seems to be a trend in all audiovisual mediums, be it movies, television, or video games. Compare the constant stock music of a Law & Order episode to the quietness of a Columbo episode. Who knows why this became such a trend? Even an energetic, blockbuster-style action game like Resident Evil 4 seems thoughtful and contemplative compared to modern games. I haven't played RE4 in a long while but I still remember the thick atmosphere of the village at night after rescuing Ashley from the cathedral. You can bet a million bucks that the remake will fail to recreate such moments.

Basic montage rules say music tells the audience how they should feel, and it drives the general mood of a scene. It can also be a way to tell the person watching or playing how they should feel about certain things.
In the case of videogames, having no music can make people feel like they're playing a poorly made game. Capcom, working on a game like RE, probably don't want to be described as "poor".

I dont know maybe he does know because she is a daughter of ex president, maybe just modern shit writing. But her response was cringe non the less and the way she says it, all of the bratty cuteness of original character gone.

I haven't watched much RE4 gameplay. Was just informed the game has crouch stealth. After I said about Callisto Protocol only yesterday,

"I'm in that place where the Last of Us clicker-like enemies start to appear. This place looks so good. Funny there's that whole setup with him trying to be super quiet while hanging upside-down and then when I actually get to playing again, I give them an easy beating and later sneakily stab them in the back of the head one by one. This is horror? Game's rather easy. Glad Resident Evil never adopted the stupid crouch makes quiet shit. But I never played Village and barely played 7.

"Stealth is exceptionally bad. Just this very boring circle-crouching around the blind enemies, loudly one-shot killing their buddies within two feet of the other, and repeat, and repeat."

Getting so tiresome how everyone wants to make the same games. Crouch makes quiet sucks almost every time. Guess I can count on crouching behind raptors if Dino Crisis ever comes back.

RE Revelations 2 had crouch stealth mechanic.
Revelations 2 was also a Last of Us ripoff, so it makes sense. It had a pretty good story, though (sans Barry's annoying bitch daughter and Claire being an ugly plank of wood). Too bad the gigantic cliffhanger at the end will never ever be resolved and we'll all just have to assume that Barry got killed by Natasha.
