RE:4 Showcase Art, Images and Video

Some quick thoughts; Gameplay looks great for RE:4. There’s a part where Leon blocks a chainsaw with his pistol which reminded me of Ada doing pretty much the same thing during her fight with Ubistvo. There looks to be interactive environmental stuff going on as well, which will make utilizing your surroundings essential for those tight survival situations. Ada voice doesn’t sound right though and Salazar looks like a creepy Victorian granny. Hunnigan looks freakin’ great.
As for the RE8 stuff I really don’t care much, but I hope others can enjoy it. They spent like half the showcase talking about the Cloud and Mac versions which was weird and unnecessary. They are marketing RE8 way too hard when better titles deserved that much publicity.
They also previewed that interview with Mikami and how he praised RE7 but didn’t play RE8 which was funny to me.

Ramon and Luis are actually european, Leon is still a twink (not even a twunk), and Hunnigan looks like lantinx the person.
Better than the original by miles. 
Disagree or not. It's okay.

Ramon looks incredibly weird now. I thought it was actually a woman, until I seen the hair.
LOL.
LOL.
Had to gather my thoughts after this reveal, just wow. This brings levels of nostalgia I didn’t even know I had for that era. In a sense it’s a dream come true. While RE4 is a masterpiece of a video game, I always wanted its tone to be more in line with the titles before it and this is just that. The gameplay looks fluid, we’ll see how OP or not parry is with a knife but it looks incredibly fun. The atmosphere is much more grounded and gritty, I adore it. Characters look incredible, what a glow up for Hunnigan. I’m truly speechless, feel like a kid again. When rumored it sounded unnecessary, but this may just be HUGE for the series. Beyond excited, feel like I took a Time Machine.

Thanks for all the media @Yama! I was never head over heels for re4 like many… kind of like some of you I thought it was an amazing game but an ok BH at the time. I didn’t know how spoiled I was with that time of games. But now? This looks incredible!! I really love the darker look to the area, it’s like they triple downed on the horror and it’s something re4 always needed. It was weird but not scary, now it’s more like the other remakes. Haven’t been this excited since RE:2
I've been saying this for quite some time, the horror it had was stellar but was broken up quite a bit. This tonal shift is benefiting the game so much, it's like seeing it in an entirely new light that is less "gamey" and more atmospheric, ala the games prior to re4.
I wasn't quite at that low ever, though was a bit in the camp wondering if this game really needed this and if so how it would translate. I am with you though however in that after this showing my hype has risen extraordinarily.
It's been a while since I looked forward to a RE game
I liked almost everything I've seen so far... My only nitpicks are:
- Hit reactions seems lacking, especially with the Shotgun, the animation for the recoil also seems really weak compared to the original.
- Lack of laser sight is a bummer, it made the combat feel precise and as a result very satisfying, Remake's blooming crosshairs are a step down.
- There is something going on with the black levels, it seems crushed or something wrong with the contrast. Some spots are straight up pitch black.
Aside from that, it looks amazing
When Leon crouched in the cabin, I got major The Evil Within vibes

First off love seeing you around bud, hope all is well.
I'm in agreeance in regards to the hit reactions, very spongy. Hopefully some of that was placeholder as they fine tune.
The laser is in the game, but purchasable from the Merchant it seems. Odd that it isn't default, but happy to see it nonetheless.
RE Engine has always struggled in SDR to produce deep black levels, where as the games look phenomenal in HDR. It's like it is made for HDR. I think this video was adjusted to give off an HDR look in SDR and came out a bit off. That's my guess at least.
Likewise, brother. Miss you!
Makes sense that it may be something to do with the video being made for HDR, hopefully it looks good on SDR by release. Otherwise the visuals look crazy good. The castle in this shot looks amazing
Good find on that laser sight! I hope it's for all weapons, not just the pistol.
