"The Shield" is absolute garbage compared to The Wire.

It's the truth. The Wire is a show for grown ups and The Shield is edgy kids crap.

Both The Wire and The Shield are essential viewing, imo. I watched them both around the same time. Those were good days for television.

The Shield gets kinda repetitive after a while -- only so many times you can watch Vic get nearly busted by IAD (or similar) but then slip free at the last moment... until the next season when it happens again before it starts to get a bit dull. I was much more into Dutch and Claudette's plots by the end.

It's the reason i bought a steam deck.
Also fuck The Shield. They did my boy Shane dirty at the end.

The remake actually looks good i guess i will stop being so pessimistic.

Now the Ganados speak Spanish in the correct accent.
Cautiously optimistic; though I wonder what sort of changes they’ll be making. I was in my teens when RE4 came out so while I think back fondly on the pass-the-controller sessions with bros, even with my rose-tinted glasses I barely recall or remember enjoying much of anything after the castle area.. in my head that’s like half the game left after

>knife has durability
>enemy grabs last longer, yet are easier to break free and do less damage
>no tank controls, movement similar to RE6
>enemies overall move faster (but not as fast as RE6) and their animations are less telegraphed, yet do considerably less damage
>RE6 counter mechanic but only against instant kill attacks, also its timing window is far more lenient
>melee moves seem less useful for crowd control as their hitbox is not as wide (plus enemies don't seem to cluster as much)
>new insta kill move for downed enemies using knife (this might be a neat idea, considering the knife is now an expendable resource)
Honestly, this reminds me of a term from TES modding comunities - modder's megalomania
Where everything is bigger, lengthier and dumber than it needs to be
This Remake is essentially just bloating one of the tightest Action games of all time

Breakable knife replaces a stamina bar, othewise you would be able to counter everything.>far more cutscenes, even during the middle of combat encounters

As far as unnecessary remakes go, not bad. I guess. I have no reason to ever play RE4 again in any form, but curious to see what how much present day bullshit or lack thereof are in there.

The counter prompt only appeared for Dr Salvador's one shot attack though...

WTF they're saying almost all the right things in this video and I just can't bring myself to believe it after nearly 2 decades of straight shameless decline. It can only be further

Ash's RE4 Remaster. thought of in 20 minutes or so, because I'm a natural. Is this really so hard devs?
-The very first thing to do is to add goddamn weapon hotkeys/quick switch. It only adds tedium having to go to the inventory every time. Sure it's nice the devs don't have to make weapon swap anims and have them disappearing into thin air when put away, but did you even notice that shit in RE5 at all, for instance?
-THIS IS IN: Upgradeable knife, and more knife moves. Providing it is balanced (knife was underpowered and clunky asf to use).
-Make the Matilda and the Typewriter legitimate unlocks, that aren't infinite ammo, and aren't ridiculously powerful. Just normal alternatives. So that they're actually fun, improve replayability, and are no longer cheat codes.
-More weapon attachments, adding additional depth to wep cust. e.g a red dot sight (1x1 inventory slot), adds slight zoom when aiming and reduces sway. Different scope types.
-Introduce recoil. If we don't even have to manage movement and aim simultaneously like any other game, then we definitely need recoil. The game has weapon sway which is nice, but recoil is non-existant. Once introduced, base sway should be reduced very slightly (say -15%) to compensate.
-Untie weapon upgrades from story progress, so you can max out a weapon early if you wanted, but then your other weapons would lag behind. Would provide more build choice with not really any downsides to note. Edit: one possible downside is it could encourage saving that maxxed out weapon only for the bosses. Most weapons it'd be fine but others would make short work of earlier bosses, like the Red9 maxxed out. So we should aim for more upgrade freedom but be very weary of this pitfall.
-with the introduction of recoil, it can also be reduced (but not eliminated) from the mechant upgrades.
-Take a look at the true inner workings of the dynamic difficulty system (which I am certain is overplayed how significant this even is), and nerf it if necessary.
-A difficulty level above professional added, mainly centered around AI intelligence upgrades. Maybe even real time inventory and ink-ribbons only (no checkpoints) for true terror.
-Adjustable aim sensitivity, or some alternative and more reliable way to aim faster than is current.
-MEME: scrap ze island! Just kidding of course, though a few level expansions here would be nice. While still great, it is the weakest of the three locations, and the most on-rails.
Generally, would love more level design additions, expanding away from the linearity at times, serving as alt pathways from the vanilla ones sometimes, other times simply extending the fun and the playtime, but not going overboard of course.
-Mercenaries expansion. More levels and game types.
-Online stats - rankings, mercs scoreboards, perhaps even certain challenges (e.g pistol and knife-only run).
