None of those games are younger than 20 years old
And? What does that have to do with anything?
one of them isn't even Resident Evil.
That's Resident Evil Outbreak, which is a Resident Evil game last I checked.
And I don't give a shit about RE clones.
Yeah, because if you did I could just post every other single fucking game in existence with an over-the-shoulder camera and claim it's "literally the exact same game" which is the dumbfuck argument you just made.

Every over-the-shoulder action shooter game is the same thing. A shooting gallery where you shoot dozens of enemies on your screen then pick up all the loot they dropped, then watch the pre-rendered cutscene that triggers once you've killed enough enemies ---> Repeat over again in the next area. That's the entire game from start to finish.

I'm arguing with retards in here that I assume also love Marvel movies. The same slop every single year but it still sells movie tickets.

Or how about another Batman franchise reboot? Another new spider man?

I bet you get hyped for that shit too.

You have never played RE2 remake. Or shooters in general.

Typical fanboy. Believes that if I don't love something as much as he does, then I must have not played it at all! "How could somebody not love this masterpiece like I do?!?"

Get a clue.

Not counting Dino Crisis, Haunting Grounds, and the dozens (hundreds?) of other RE clones that were churned out over the years
I would pay good money to play Haunting Grounds and Rule of Rose!
Not for what they sell for on ebay but I missed out on them back in the day :(

You are such a dumbfuck. I don't even think the RE2 remake is as good as the original but it's not a game where you shoot dozens of enemies and pick up loot. If you describe it in such a manner then you're proving you're a butthurt retard going on about shit without any knowledge.

Why are you such a crying bitch? Was over six fixed camera angle Resident Evil games not good enough for you? Let alone all the contemporary survival horror games, AND modern revivals like Alisa and Tormented Souls. But no, that's not enough for you. The brand you used to like isn't producing the exact thing you want so you're gonna cry. And you accuse me of wanting the same slop every year. If you ask me, the original PS1 trilogy is enough for Resident Evil to be a classic series. I don't need a bunch of clones of the same garbage. In fact, RE4 was made how it was because the director thought the typical RE format was getting stale; the RE game immediately preceding RE4 was RE0, so you can see why he thought that. But you apparently needed them to keep making RE1 over and over again to be satisfied. More, more, more!

RE4 is a great game and you are a butthurt old faggot.

Too bad about the stupid Censorship/changed dialogue and cut content that seems to only have been exacerbated since what they did with the recent VR version. Will probably play the Original version of RE4 if/whenever I get there to preserve more of the intended mood/atmosphere of the game. Maybe Mods can fix it.

They made one concession for RE2 remake. That doesn't make it any less of an action shooter just because they did one or two nods to the original RE2 (puzzles and loot). They already ruined that game from the offset when they decided to rip out the entire beginning segment from the game (kendo's gun shop, the basketball courts, entire mood and atmosphere gone etc) and made the gameplay more reminiscent of RE4 by doing it in 3rd person. That game did a lot more to appease RE4 fans overall because once again, the RE4 fans have dictated the direction the franchise should go.

What are you smoking?

You say the original PS1 trilogy is enough and that you don't need a bunch of clones of that same "garbage", but then you defend 3rd person action RE games? What type of RE game in your mind have we gotten for the past 20 years?

I don't want RE1 over and over again. RE1 Remake was perfect. Don't need another one. But RE2 Remake was a disgrace. Because it tried to appease RE4 fans more than it did RE2 fans. If you don't agree, then guess which one you are, buddy?

RE4 is a great game and you are a butthurt old faggot.
RE4 Fanboy confirmed. Just as I thought.

A recurring problem I had with REmake 2 was the feeling that it was just a little too much like Vanquish.
RE2 Remake is not a faithful remake. Not even close.

It's a shitstain you just can't get out, on top of the shitstain called RE4 that you've been trying to get out for 20 years.

The entire design of the game is one concession?

The game was ruined because the beginning segment was different?

I'm defending RE4. Not any other game. And besides, there aren't even more RE4-style RE games than there are RE1-style RE games. In fact, let's tally them up:

RE1-style games:
RE1
RE2
RE3
RE0
RE1 Remake
Code Veronica
Outbreak
Outbreak File 2

RE4-style games:
RE4
RE5
RE6
Revelations
Revelations 2
RE4 remake (?)
RE3 remake (?)
RE2 remake (EXTREMELY dubious to call this an "RE4-style game" btw)

Looks like the score's equal! And this isn't taking into considering the first-person games, which is the direction the mainline series has gone since RE7. Is RE7 also for RE4 fanboys? Despite sharing more in common with Amnesia or Outlast than RE4?
But RE2 Remake was a disgrace. Because it tried to appease RE4 fans more than it did RE2 fans.
Listen, man, I prefer the original and I don't even like the remake much. It was just alright. But RE2 Remake has nothing, fucking NOTHING whatsoever in common with RE4 besides the camera angle. And so what if it tries to appeal to RE4's audience? RE4 is one of the most influential games ever and by far the most popular game in the series. So why wouldn't Capcom take cues from RE4 for other games? Again, you're just crying because the series went in a direction you didn't like, despite the fact that you've already got a shitload of classic-style RE games, AND other 90s survival horror games, AND modern revivals.

What the fuck is with the difficulty in this game, I chose medium and it feels like very hard. The zombies run after me like they're on crack and take off half my health with one punch.

the early village segments were the hardest parts (i'm currently finishing the castle, so it may become harder again).

1 Bullet to the face + a kick to the face = instakill for me. I'm playing on medium
Not sure what's going on in my case, but they don't get stunned when I shoot them in the head. They don't even flinch. I tried again just now and one guy completely ignored being shot in the face as he rushed and grabbed me. I'm going to restart the game in case I accidentally enabled hard mode.

The difficulty is way higher than it was in the original game, but mostly because the combat feels very inconsistent (which is by design, but I'm not a fan of that).

The original game had very tight and predictable mechanics - you always knew what animations/moves Leon and enemies will perform, the movement was very solid and gamey, and all of the enemies had predictable behaviors. The remake, on the other hand, is very "loose" - just like in RE2Remake, enemies tend to have inconsistent hit reactions (sometimes a headshot makes them flinch, sometimes it makes them to fall on the ground, sometimes it sets them up for a melee attack, and sometimes they just tank the damage and keep going).

Overly realistic and sluggish movement is partly to blame as well, along with a very low accuracy on your starting pistol. I suggest you to spend spinels on a laser sight ASAP, since it removes the need to wait for the aiming reticle to shrink down (yes, the game has the same mechanic as RE2 where your pistol has a higher crit/stagger chance with a shrunk down reticle).

What planet are you posting from?

RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake play exactly the fucking same right down to the movement animations and shooting mechanics.

Does RE4 Remake have anything in common, gameplay wise, with the original Resident Evil 2? Because by your logic, it would be EXTREMELY dubious to say otherwise.
