A Closer Look At Resident Evil 4 Remake

everytime i think of re4, i think about my dad. i remember him playing this game on the ps2 when i was a kid with my mother on the side telling him everytime he missed an object or watching out for enemies for him lmao. this eventually birthed my interest for the franchise as a whole, and now it is something i hold very near and dear to my heart. my dad passed away in 2009, and one of the few memories i have of him is his playthrough of the first few re games, mainly 4. the fact that i get to see the remake is both surreal, exciting and emotional, cause i genuinely wish my dad could be here to share my sentiment. nevertheless, this game in particular holds a special place in my heart and is something that connects me to my dad. i will always be thankful for that, and i cannot wait to see the remake in full ❤️

I hope that, while the horror elements are certain in this game, it at least keeps some of the campiness from the original Leon: Saddler, you're small time! Ashley: YEAH, GET HIM LEON!

The Sphere Hunter: "No more endless up skirts for this poor girl." Modders: "We'll see about that."

It is insane to think that it's been more than 17 years since the original release. I still remember how graphically impressive it was back then and especially how revolutionary it was, daring to change the classic RE formula. I hope that this remake is up to its legacy, the legacy of being one of the best games of all time.

It really does seem like RE4 Remake will have more horror than its original. The atmosphere seems very eerie and they might have even decided to try and bring back elements for the original version of RE4, like that hallucination that chased Leon.

killer insight and observations - nobody does it better! would love to see the Leon parasite thing expanded. more stressful and anxiety inducing also - the zealots look insanely creepy!

I really hope that they introduce Krauser in a better way. In the original RE4 he just turns up and we don't have a clue who he is but Leon just knows him from the past. Now we know about Operation Javier it would be cool to have a flashback or something included. Not everybody has played Darkside Chronicles so it would be an excellent way to introduce Krauser properly.

The thing I look forward to the most about this remake is the use of lighting. The shot with the cult members in what looks to be the castle got me excited, imaging exploring the castle, but it’s dark and you can only see with the flashlight, just like Ashley’s section, and you hear the chants from the cult members in the dark. Love it.

I honestly hope hunnigan has more of presence here. She'd balance the more intense horror focus out and act as a sort of comfort for the player hearing a friendly voice. I also liked she got more depth in 6, willing to risk her neck for Leon and Helena.

This is quite possibly the best analysis of the game's trailer on Youtube. It was a smart decision to wait and gather your thoughts unlike a lot of other channels who rushed out a video as fast as possible. Great work!

I think the potential for them to elaborate on Krauser is really huge here. I'm super excited to see him be consequential beyond just being a random nemesis archetype

By the way on Ada’s outfit, she’s wearing a tactical turtleneck. And given the weather, that makes sense. But this change is also not bad because she still retains the same color to the dress seen in the original RE4.

oh yeah, this is gonna be the first "remake" of a Resident evil game that will have the new type of enemies and not the usual zombies wonder how they will handle em gameplay wise

A Luis playable section would be nice. Like when he dropped the sample and has to go get it in the castle. But he runs into saddler and has to run from some new enemy type....or something.

RE4's entire village section and the first 3/4ths of the castle were really tense and gave a sense of dread. I hope they can find a way to carry that through the rest of the game in this remake. RE4 is my favorite game of all time and I'm really impressed with what they've shown so far. 2023 is going to be a great year for video games.

Hope we get some more characterization from Leon and Ashley. I wanna hear Leon talking about his past and how he ended up where he is now.

I like the angle they're going for here with Leon, he has survivors guilt which is a very common thing to develop when you end up being one of the few survivors or only survivor of a traumatic event, and he probably believes that if he can bring Ashley back safely it will absolve him in some way of his guilt and the past "failure" as he deems it. Emotional depth to a character like Leon is oh so good, i cannot wait to see more of this game!

Gotta admit, when I first heard they were doing a remake of RE4, I was skeptical. But now, after seeing that teaser, I’m very intrigued.

I remember hearing that it was supposed to come out this year originally, so that they pushed it back and broke the yearly release they had kept since 2019 gives me hope that they really want this to be good.

I am so excited for this remake; I feel like a 6yr old who's excited about a potential Christmas present, except I'm buying the present myself. This game will be such a terrifying trip down memory lane.
