    Fantastic Remake - Felt more like RE

    Resident Evil 4 for the PS5 Remake lived up to the hype I had for it, I was blown away by all of the story improvements done over the original with Ashley Graham and Luis Sera for instance. They had better character development than the original while having more compelling personalities. The RE Engine gameplay fit RE4 pretty well and expanded on the OG's gameplay amazingly by increasing the aggression of the enemies to match Leon's improved moves. Areas that were originally linear pathways were given a more explorable approach, feeling more akin to the gameplay of classic REs. The weapon selection was improved, and the Merchant now gave Leon more side tasks to do beyond the original 15 medallions mission in OG RE4. The first Krauser fight was reworked into a boss fight versus a QTE memory game. The main flaw of the game was Ada Wong's character direction in the Remake, the actress didn't seem to give it her all like with the other cast members. Either that or the director had odd ideas about Ada's portrayal. They cut a couple of areas in the game including a boss fight to save for later, which is annoying. Lastly, the bonus modes such as Mercenaries and Separate Ways weren't available at launch. While Separate Ways wasn't in the first launch of OG RE4 too, Mercenaries plus Assignment Ad, was, however. Mercs is in the game now via update, but it still doesn't have 2 characters that were in the original. There's also the fact Micro Transactions are included in the game, which hurts the score a bit. Overall, despite the flaws; it's still an excellent Remake that in my opinion matches the original in excellence. Just now it's more serious in many ways and overall has now an Action-Survival Horror vibe instead of being Action Horror. Fans of the silly action in the original RE4 will not like the more serious way, but the fans of RE being more horror-focus will more likely love this. I see it as a new, alternative way to play Resident Evil 4. and it perhaps will be my favorite way to play RE4 for years to come.

    Best ReMake yet!

    The Resident Evil Remake series has quickly climbed to the top of my favorite games ever list. 2, 3 and now 4 have taken fond teenaged memories and updated reality to match those impossibly nostalgic experiences. Remake 4 is the most bombastic yet! Ridiculous set pieces and absurd bosses with that RE Engine sheen. I dont think i can go back to the old games after this. Capcom is one of the only devs now releasing current Gen games at 60 bucks. That is a gamble for them when most devs have upped it to 70. Support this dev, they are doing a great job this Gen! I fully plan on buying all ReMakes and new entries into the Resident Evil franchise day one.

    The Game that still seems to Impress

    This game is what I’ve always wanted out of a HD remake. The graphics are stunning and everything seems fresh from the boss battles to the game play. I would highly recommend it to any RE4 fan. No reason i bought it 7 times, it still amazes me. If you are looking for a game to get this one is a winner. Takes me back to when i was 13 years old playing it on the gamecube, also I still have my PS2 RE4 controller. It’s probably my favorite game of all time. 11/10 if i could rate it that highly.

    Very good game, they slightly turned up the difficulty on normal mode vs the original, overall a very good remake, just didn't like that you have to pay if you want the original soundtrack.

    I’ve never played a Resident Evil game before, so this was a fun experience. I’m glad I finally have the series a chance because this game made me see why there are so many fans. Can’t wait to try out the rest of the series.

    After playing the original so many times I have to say this has been like a new fresh experience with a ton of familiarities & call backs to the original game. It feels modernized and improved yet nostalgic. It’s a whole lot more difficult and different so I would advise most to play the standard difficulty when playing the remake for the first time! If you love the original but want a different experience with nostalgia then you will love this game! ❤️

    Resident Evil 4 Is Back & Better Than Ever!

    The first Resident Evil game I truly played is now remade for next generation consoles! Everything seems familiar, but there are differences. You can now move and shoot, the knife can be used for parrying attacks! The graphics are beautiful on 4K, and the eerie sound effects coming from the DualShock 5 mic keep me jumping. The main reason I got this was for the Steelbook, luckily I was able to pre-order and still get it! Unfortunately, I had to wait a week, it wasn’t available for pickup, only shipping, I had concerns last time I got a Steelbook shipped to me. Even curbside pickup was not available. I thought this would be similar to when I got Village. Steelbook arrived yesterday in good condition, thankfully! Currently on chapter 6-7, having lots of fun playing a classic game again! I highly recommend it for horror fans, RE fans, even people who like adventure games.

    10/10!!! I'm w/the critics as well as most of the planet on this one. One of THE BEST remakes of all time and a ridiculously PHENOMENAL game in its own right. Capcom really has TWO Resident Evil 4s that are GOATED now. And I can't wait to NG+ this!

    Excellent remake of Resident Evil 4! Ashley, Luis, and other characters are more developed. Also, the overall story is more fleshed out than in the original. The gameplay is very enjoyable as well.

    A remake that somehow surpasses the orignal.

    A remake that had the near impossible feat of surpassing the original Resident evil 4 (considered to be arguably one of the best video games of all time) and it does so with flying colors (and blood). The game is spectacular from beginning to end. If you enjoyed the original RE4 you will have a blast. If you never played the original you will be in for a treat. Great modern controls, clever changes where they were needed or made an improvement upon (best way I can say it without spoiling anything). Just pick up the game and play it. You will not be disappointed.

    Very good game, although they omitted some details from the original game, it is still very good. I got it at a good price for Black Friday, so I'm going to play it and platinum it.

    A more streamlined version of Resident Evil 4 but it keeps most of the major beats of the original. Overall presentation is some of the best for a cross gen game but it is a bit disappointing enabling hair strands and ray tracing will drop you down below 60 fps at 4K. Using a pair of Sennheiser 800S headphones for fully immersive experience, I've little to no complaints with the sound mix. There are a few odd voice over choices here and there but the main three being Leon, Ashley and Luis offer a much more impactful performance over the original. Controls you'll definitely need to fine tune as the default presets are slow and will leave you feeling frustrated with how sluggish it all is out of the box. As of April 7th, mercenaries mode was added but the slow and unresponsive AI in this mode makes it feel like target practice more than a test of skill.

    In my youth Resident Evil 2 set the standard for survival horror zombie games. Now with this remake, it has revolutionized the genre once again. I highly recommend this game for a thrilling experience that pushes your current gen software to its limit in terms of visuals as well as gameplay. So “what are you waiting for?….Stranger”.

    Fantastic retelling of the classic Resident Evil 4, 100 hours in and still loved replaying it! Got the platinum trophy for it as well. If you love the recent resident evil games and or have nostalgia for the old resident evil, this game will impress. Totally worth the money! If you are considering another game over this, look at it and say NO THANKS, BRO!
