RE:4 Impressions Thread

I'm not a big RE4 fan in general, because RE4 basically zapped away a lot of the reasons I like RE to begin with. But all the same, I feel like this remake was splendidly done.

Sure, it had a degree of omitted content like the other remakes, but this was way more enjoyable than 2 and 3.

My opinion of 2 has become a bit more lukewarm than it had been. I guess my disappointment really lay with the game not being a 'proper remake' like the first remake in 2002 is. As in, you know? How things were mostly the same as the original, but with great new additions. I think a lot of people preferred the thought of that as opposed to the plot being reimagined.
 
Can't say I came off satisfied with RE4R, it was a huge disappointment especially considering it was the exact same team that did RE2R, which was a near masterpiece.

-Way too faithful to the original source material, which was never that good outside of revolutionary action gameplay...in 2005
-Boss battles sucked
-Shooting gallery gave random rewards which put a curb on planned builds
-Bad music
-Game was poorly coded and ran into several performance hits on PC
-They really screwed up Ada's voice
-Pay to Win features.

The only positives in this were the crafting system, the expanded castle scenarios, the visuals were great, and some of the puzzles were challenging. Other than that I consider this an overall negative experience.

What was your opinion of the original RE4? Because RE4Remake is 1:1 remake of RE4 with some control refinements, and "poorly" coded? Do you understand why they used the engine? RE4R is basically using the SAME engine as RE2 Remake. Every game released at that point, is using the RE Engine.

It's your opinion, but it's a poor opinion. RE2 Remake was so good that even DMC5 uses it.

*facepalm*
