Capcom Resident Evil 4 Remake - out now for PC/Playstation/Xbox

[†††]

Novistadores removed

I wonder why they would remove the Novistadores. I hope they're replacing them with something else and not just reducing the enemy variety.

I hope this is bullshit, because otherwise wtf are these devs thinking

Given the precedent with Resident Evil 3, you fellas should expect the worst in regards to cut content.

The richness of content and the ability of the game to regularly throw new shit at you were one of RE4's main strengths. In this case removing content isn't just something bad, it's a complete lack of understanding of what made original game great.

I bet they're taking to heart the redditors' usual complaining about "LE ISLAND IS LE BAD" and scrapping it or changing it altogether.

but Ashley will certainly not be as defenseless as in the original game.

I really hope not
Protecting her is part of the challenge
Not to mention it doesn't even make sense from a character standpoint - she's some Ivy League brat

Given the precedent with Resident Evil 3, you fellas should expect the worst in regards to cut content.

REmake 3 cut content can be somewhat understood given that the game started development shortly before REmake 2 launch, with the intention to be a smaller, cheaper project meant to ride on the success of the previous remake
REmake 2 unpolished B run is also understandable, given the scope and technical demands of a project they weren't sure of
This is one, on the other hand is clearly meant to be a very big and important project for both the IP and Capcom
They can't be so liberal with scrapping notable segments from the original game

 

[Valestein]

REmake 2 also had cut enemy variety.

Resident Evil 4 without the camp is like a burger with no ketchup and onions.

Sad and gay.

I don't like the idea of a first person Dino Crisis. It has to be fixed camera or wtf is the point?

Would love fixed cams in fully 3D rendered environments that allow shadow and light to move over the objects more realistically, over flat pictures. But I'm not kidding myself. In the slim chance that we ever get another Dino Crisis it will certainly be over the shoulder.

Luis boss fight, Ashley will use a gun, Novistadores removed, dual chainsaw enemies? On one hand it sounds like BS he came up with but you never know with Capcom.

Some of this stuff, like a Luis boss fight, just sounds like a previous leak that wasn't real. Said previous "leak" was also some old thing that for whatever reason popped back up around the end of June...it said shit like Krauser was out and being replaced by Luks boss fights; but that's not true.

Usually when I start seeing some RE rumors going around I'll go check AestheticGamer's Twitter to see if he says something about them, since he's the one that's been leaking RE stuff since like the RE2 remake or something. He has a post from July 30th, so the rumors in that video might fall under that, where he says none of the RE4 and RE9 leaks he sees going around at the moment are true as far as he knows.

 

[Wunderbar]

Why aren't there more of these type of games being made?

there's a new Alone in the Dark game is being developed in one of Embracer's internal studios

This guy is supposedly some big shot insider who leaks stuff that's going to be announced soon. The quote is from Uwe Boll movie with Christian Slater.

PS4 version confirmed and an official gameplay showcase in October.

PS5 is selling so poorly in Japan that it basically forced their hand. We'll see if they gimp the next gen versions to make it run on PS4.

Do you know why Playstation 5 sell poorly in Japan?

Do you know why Playstation 5 sell poorly in Japan?

They've been trying to piss off their Japanese consumer base for a while, they can't produce enough PS5s, they've scrapped their Japanese studios, so on so on...

As well as """ethics""" boards vying for censorship in fanservice games defeating the purpose of said games in Japan. Moving the headquarters to california was a mistake.

Woah, didn't know that. If highly nationalist people like Japans refuse to support their own brand; you know that corporate fucked up big time.

Okay, that explains.

Saying the PS5 has no games is beating a dead horse, but its interesting to me that there are still a considerable number of titles that aren't next-gen exclusive, when the PS3 generation started drying up a year or two into the new generation.

Spoiler alert: 100% guaranteed to be inferior to the original. Genuine game design is almost a lost art at this point. Even if it is somehow decent there will be many catches, caveats, downfalls, decline.

 

[ZidaneZireael]

Can’t wait for all the cut content, just like REimagining 2 and 3.

My main problem is; they will probably elimate all the camp & B movie feeling and go for an taking itselfs too seriously grimdark route.

Y tho

PS4 version confirmed

I'm risking looking like some sort of graphic whore but the large part of the appeal here was precisely in getting a RE game that was developed from the grounds up for next gen.

Did you play the other remakes? The setting is the same as always, just higher res and minus "so bad it's good" voice acting.

My main problem is, they will probably remove the arcadish TPS gameplay and replace it with le scary survival horror, because RE2 Remake sold a lot.

I haven't replayed any remakes other than Resident Evil 1, my PC was too weak to run REMake 2. I told my concern based on what they showed on their "reveal trailer" and in current year every triple AAA game takes itself too serious. "No, no, gaming is not about simple gameplay and enjoyment. It is serious business with Hollywood budget and new generation kids love movies disguised as games!" (- Probably any random AAA publisher)

Except this remake never was. They just slapped some useless raytracing effects on it that cuts the framerate in half, and voila, call it Next-Gen. Except now they decided to backtrack, after all.

I don't really expect true Next-gen titles that have been developed from the ground-up until Fall 2024.
