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

[Ezekiel]

On the last boss in Separate Ways, after so long that I didn't remember any of the new content. What little there is... Yeah, crappy campaign, nothing of value lost by omitting it. If the remake will feature it as a DLC, then they must rethink the whole thing. If it doesn't have mostly new content, don't bother. It ends with the same Krauser fight, only in much more cramped areas. You can't even backflip away from his high jumps a lot of the time because there is nothing behind you. Half your guns/crossbow also take too long to aim. Leon's fight against Krauser is broken up by pathways, dialogue, robots and checkpoints. Without any of that and with so little room to navigate, he's just tedious.

 

[Wunderbar]

Remake's Krauser had a very personal connection towards Leon. No way Capcom would reuse him for Ada's campaign, that'd be lame.

My hunch is that Ada is going to fight the other Verdugo (it appears during Salazar's introductory cutscene only to be never seen again), U3 (it wasn't cut for good, there are readables in the game that mention U3's existence) and Saddler's humanoid form. Maybe she even gets to use the cable car.

I wake up every morning to come to this thread to see a bunch or retards whinging about cEnSoRsHiP because muh reasons. I find it hilarious that codexers (especially pro-censorship vata like Benzem) have the gall to whine so long about inconsequential; it really is quite amusing.

It's a shame that game hasn't been cracked yet

 

[Skinwalker]

Against my better judgement, started a New Game+ on Professional difficulty. So far, with all the best and fully-upgraded weapons, it feels easier than the original game on Normal. Maybe it's because, after 35 hours, I finally sort of learned how to aim with the controller.

Also, what censorship? Was someone naked in the original?

what site do you use to check? lotta games i want to play but not forking out 109 bucks for still aint cracked.

The empty headed contrarianism of this place (and that video) is a sight to behold. Old = good, new = bad is virtually the entire extent of any and all criticisms made by the Codex.

I'm not even a fan of Resident Evil and haven't played RE4 yet, and even for me it was immediately recognizable due to the Censorship, dialogue changes and a bunch of choice changes that were obvious around release that they're going for an entirely different mood and atmosphere and that the Original is the one to go for when I get to play RE4.

It's the equivalent of say Remaking "From Dusk Till Dawn", while removing all the iconic lines about "pussy shopping" and most of the other dialogue that could "offend" anyone, replacing the table dance scene and remaking all the action scenes to turn them into blockbuster shit. Then claiming that "it's just the same, bro. lol, what's the issue?"

It must require a lot of cognitive bias for actual fans to persuade themselves that the Remake is "better". Deep down they seem to know though and are in denial about it. There's no other explanation to reconcile the overreaction to a simple YouTube video not actually making any statements, but simply comparing the Original and Remake side by side. He didn't even say which one has the "soul" and now he even changed the title to "Resident Evil 4 Remake is a masterpiece". Yet somehow everyone, including the "haters" immediately knew what he was referring to and the footage seems to speak for itself.

The 'censorship' and dialogue changes that has the Codex up in arms is minor stuff to everyone who aren't trapped in the edgelord bubble that this place has turned into.
So the game doesn't have Luis' "Ballistics" line or Leon getting sawed in half by a chainsaw or some other 'essential' thing from the original. Okay. At best, these are minor gripes. But then everyone here turns them into major issues and acts like the rest of the world is 'blind' for not giving a fuck about them. All the while completely ignoring how genuinely well crafted and impressive the rest of the game is.

And it's the same with every fucking thread about a new video game here. It's just a bunch of angry people honing in on anything they can find that justifies being mad at the new popular thing. You can guess exactly what goes on in each thread without even clicking it.
It's not cool, it's not counter culture, it's not cutting edge criticism. It's just one sided and predictable.

So, are they remaking RE5 next, and if so, do they have any intention of making it not shit this time around?

probably. RE fans also want everything remade lmfao yet not asking for a new game. nostalgia is a drug.

Remakes don't impact the mainline sequel production at Capcom anyway. They have multiple RE teams.

The team that made 7 and Village has had nothing to do with the remakes.

People who don't mind all the various small changes to the dialog and cutscenes, would be far more worthy of respect if they just came clean and admitted that the real reason they don't mind them is because they support the liberal/progressive/feminist agenda to rewrite older content to suit their taste, even if they themselves aren't too bothered with it. Instead, they keep up the charade and pretend that the real reason they don't mind it is because they aren't "edgelords" or "contrarians".

I support the agenda of having you shut the fuck up about inconsequential things

hurr durr video games don't matter therefore you can't criticize them!

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

Alright smartass if you think Ashley's ballistics are so fucking important to the plot go listen to this on repeat while you sleep.



This influx of "newfags" is really shitting up the place.

Leftoids and journalists don't give a shit about videogames. The remaster trend helps them justify their attempt to rewrite old classics and "modernize" them, aka making them as pozzed as possible and then some.

Nice e-peen bro. I'm sure the gals are begging on their knees to suck it. Your join date will surely mask your terrible gaming opinions.

 

[NecroLord]

GrafvonMoltke Why are you so butthurt about a bunch of "newfags", buddy? Have they stolen your sweetroll or something?

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

Jesus wept you actually just quoted George Orwell what a pretentious twat

 

[Tacgnol]

Jesus wept you actually just quoted George Orwell what a pretentious twat

This is the Codex after all.

 

[NecroLord]

Jesus wept you actually just quoted George Orwell what a pretentious twat

Oh, no, the horror!
What's the problem, nigga? Sure, Orwell is way overquoted, but many of his insights are applicable in the present.

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

Well it certainly explains a lot if the extent of your intellectual capabilities is that of a 15 year old GCSE politics students

 

[NecroLord]

Stay butthurt, fag.

Agreed. There' one cutscene where Ada seems to start going towards the direction of the verdugo who kidnaps Ashley. This is the red coat one, so she fights the black one probably (He's not present in the ritual scene). About playable areas, the cable car section seems it would be one of them. There's also the quarry that can be seen before going into the bella sisters trap that's not accesible by any means, but looks like a "gamey room".

Yeah, what is Hunk doing after breaking neck, saying "Vuala" to the audience? Super gay.

Yeah, the timer UI is a mess.

Spoiler

The butthurt is out of this the world. It's clear that while technically it's an okay remake, it does miss a lot of things. Obvious things as well, like the censored parts. It went from campy fun to something serious... and boring?

Edit:

And making Leon a simp is unforgivable.

The cinemafication of video games.

Said this in a Tomb Raider thread, but most developers/publishers don't understand movies and the original RE4 came closer than any modern AAA game of your choice. A good movie director would do everything they could to make some character's climb up a perilous mountain suspenseful, but in a "cinematic" modern game the developers keep the player from falling with magnetic walking and invisible walls and give them lots of automatic checkpoints, removing their fear. (How about sections where the rocks slide away under the player character's feet?) They also take them out of the experience by repeating the same canned "cinematic" animations over and over, like the character squeezing between walls or hanging on with one arm as they briefly turn their head at the long fall below. It all reminds them that it's orchestrated. Good movies try to avoid that.

Your post reminded me of that Rich Evan video where they talked about fake tension and how climbing is similar to a walking simulator. There is no skill involved.

They didn't play the multiplayer nor survival mode.

Modes so few people cared about that Naughty Dog didn't even push the developer to include them in the PlayStation 5 and Windows ports. (Then again, they didn't push for the first three games either, believing new players would want to skip straight to the new.) I've had my PS4 for five years and only paid for multiplayer for about a month. Remember the survival mode having a lot of bloated hit points and multiplayer being poorly balanced.

Survival mode only has bloated hit points when you're low level. Also these modes were popular, just like Factions in TLOU was popular (still is) but for some reason Sony didn't include it on Part 1 remake.

Character levels suck. Get them out of my shooters and multiplayer.

But RE4 has weapon levels, it isn't that different. Also it's fun to play earlier maps on max level and instakill everything.

It's boring to do that, and RE4 would have worked fine without a leveling system, rebalanced for fixed damage.

 

[Skinwalker]

Since in RE4 you can upgrade your weapons, does it mean that it's basically an RPG?

Synthetic Man defends Crowbcat's RE remake video, even though he doesn't agree with everything about his comparisons.

Really puts into perspective how rabid some of these companies' fanboys can be...

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

These "in defense of whatever" videos reminds me to that Dark souls 2 critique, and the response videos it got. That was like ten years ago.
