Capcom Resident Evil 4 Remake - out now for PC/Playstation/Xbox

[Derringer]

Uncharted popularity always came off like a bad marketing meme to me since I've never seen people mention liking any of them in real life unlike say shit like FFXIII.

Synthetic Man defends Crowbcat's RE remake video, even though he doesn't agree with everything about his comparisons.

Really puts into perspective how rabid some of these companies' fanboys can be...

I swear I'm not trying to be off-topic, but on that note the reason for this happening is due to social media and the rise of discord safe spaces. Nuance is being lost these days. People today do not want to struggle to think, to examine and be aware, they want to shut their brains off and listen to what's easy. Here's a good video that hits the nail in the head when it comes to modern "critics" and video makers as well as a somewhat balanced review of MGS. Skip to 23:00 if you don't want to watch the whole thing.


As for the "new" "fans" of RE4R, they are this weird conglomeration of trannies that love that freak Sphere Hunter on top of decline enablers that just love graphics and modern controls.

Modern video game critique (and this is happening with movies too now) has a big bandwagon problem. And these things can have nothing to do with the actual game itself. Resident Evil 6 and Metal Gear Survive are two big examples of this. The jury was out on MGS before it was even out because of the drama around Konami with Kojima. Is Survive perfect? No. But it is still a game build on the back of Metal Gear Solid 5’s fantastic gameplay, so it is still pretty good. But the reaction was it was the worst thing ever, worst game of the year. And people would latch onto stupid shit just because Kojima said it. Like the zombies in MGS. Kojima said something about it as a negative, people wanted to be on Kojima’s side, so they just started repeating it without thinking...and you’d have to not think about it to just roll with that since MGSV had its own form of zombies in it. At a certain point it also seemed to become pretty clear some version of Survive (maybe as Silent Hills) likely started development under Kojima given the similarities between it and Death Stranding.

Resident Evil 6 is like that too. Does it have problems? Yes. It’s got lots of problems. It’s also got the best third person shooter gameplay since Vanquish, the best action gameplay of the whole Resident Evil series, (even after a decade and 9 new games of some type) and some of the best boss fights of the series. But people were bitching about it before it every came out because a vocal portion of fans on forums like NeoGAF wanted it to go back to what it was before RE4. And then a producer on the game said something about Call of Duty, and since Call of Duty is the worst thing ever that was used as cudgel to beat the game despite the game not even kind of being functionally similar to CoD outside of characters having guns they use to shoot things. It didn’t help that Capcom was in the middle of their “Appeal to America” thing, which helped form a narrative around RE6. Hell, people still use that, and Keiji Inafune, to try and form this narrative that the Inafune years of Capcom are the worst period of Capcom despite being the time Dead Rising, Lost Planet 1 & 2, and Dragon’s Dogma come out, Inafune being the one that had them build the MT Framework engine, and Capcom get back into fighting games under him.

I didn't know anything about RE6 prior to playing it, I didn't watch any reviews, and I thought it was shit.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

RE6 is unredeemable. The game has a lot of options during gameplay, but everything else is poorly done. The campaigns have terrible pacing, atrocious parts, filled with QTEs. Graphics and tech are even worse than RE5. Is the longest game of all the franchise with a total of four campaigns, but the best way of enjoying this game is playing the mercenaries mode, which by itself says a lot. The only positive thing I can say is it has a lot of variety in terms of enemy mutations, but that's all.

Nobody in here is really even saying the game is bad, beside the one guy that was bitching about the original Resident Evil 4. It is possible to still enjoy a thing, and also point out there are aspects that are weaker than they should be. Fuck, I’d be surprised if there was anyone that loves Arcanum that also didn’t think the combat (and lack of descriptions like Fallout and Wasteland had) was a step down from what the team had done in Fallout. You can like a thing, while also thinking the thing before it that it’s building off of did things better. I’d agree with basically everything in the Crowbcat video, and even say there’s stuff he didn’t even cover, and I’d still say this is a good game. There’s stuff this remake does worse, there’s stuff this remake does differently, and there’s stuff it does better. The Ramon boss fight in this is a huge improvement over the original. This remake takes one of the weaker boss fights from the original, and replaces it with one of the best boss fights in the series.

I’m sure everyone that loves the game even noticed a lot of the stuff in the Crowbcat video, and probably also liked this or that thing less in the remake than the original...which makes the Twitter backlash to the Crowbcat video so funny and odd. I doubt anyone playing this remake thinks the first encounter being the game’s new “Crimson Head” Plagas was better than having you face a normal enemy that can teach the player how regular enemies function and that it’s possible to do melee attacks on enemies. It’s not in the video, but I’m sure everyone playing the game found it odd the game drops a stealth and knife tutorial on you after the opening Village section where both those things can be used. Apparently the game originally had an opening stealth tutorial with Ashley where she sees the missing hikers. And outside of like the new cutscene where Leon and Luis kill the guy with the chain, I’m sure most everything that played the original RE4 and remembers the cutscenes prefer the original cutscenes to the remake cutscenes.

I mean you seem to be a gud boi who actually played the game, and as I can see it you have a right to deliver a considered critique. Most of the people hurling shit in this thread haven't, and have no intention of doing so, and simply want to push bullshit narratives (while accusing the game of pushing narratives; lol the fucking irony) cause MUH BALLISTICS or MUH HUNNIGAN NO GLASSES, with a healthy dollop of Old Game Good/New Game Bad thrown in (most overly romanticising the original, some choice individuals marking the original as decline).

Personally, I haven't played the game yet (hasn't been cracked) so I'm reserving judgement on it until then; I'm just sick of seeing dickheads rush to judgement over a game they haven't played and won't ever play.

"NEW GOOD, OLD BAD!

HOW DARE YOU point out cEnSoRsHiP and changes made in the Remake, this hurts my feelings!

HOW DARE YouTube man pour over Original & Remake and put a video together pointing out better cinematography, ambience, sound design, dialogue, encounters etc. showing OLD GOOD, NEW BAD, FUCKING eDgElOrDs!!!

I'm SICK of waking up every morning and seeing the eDgElOrDs pointing out INCONSEQUENTIAL THINGS, I'm being OPPRESSED!

I haven't actually played this gayme yet, but I have to defend its honor against the iNtErNeT eDgElOrDs"

Btw.

Ashley has shit ballistics, therefore it's a pass from me.

Alright smartass if you think Ashley's ballistics are so fucking important to the plot go listen to this on repeat while you sleep.

I'm starting to think Drakortha might have been right about a few things at least through all that tism. Why aren't you on Reddit or Discord or wherever with all the other trannies slurping off new product again? Your soul seems to be yearning for such a place and the only things you seem to be doing here is complaining about edgelords and repeating the word "inconsequential" while going on about your love for crack.

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

Have you played it?

 

[430am]

Why won't this game hurry up and be cracked

Hypothetically, if one would want to, I'm sure there may exist a very easy way to play this right now just like any other Denuvo DRM game, but I can't really explain my theory due to rules. I'm sure you can find out yourself for purely informational purposes.

 

[pqt]

The easy way to play a denuvo game is buy it.

 

[lightbane]

Jeez, so much autism in these last pages. For extra hilarity that video demonstrated what I expected about the Remake: An overpriced, Denuvo-infested, woke-friendly re-imagining that may have some good things compared to the OG game, but it does NOT justify its insane price (nor Denuvo). Also, incoming paid DLCs with stuff that was included in the original, but of course, they no longer bother hiding such cheeky attitude.

At least they kept the enemies as insane Spaniards who behave like murderous psychos. I used to think that was over-the-top and exaggerated, but after seeing the relentless attacks against Catalonia this last decade, I'm not so sure, but that's another topic.


In short, it's better than nothing if you're desperate for more RE games and you have nothing else, I suppose. And don't mind paying a fuckton for the same decades-old game.

The demo has been out for over a month, just play that to see what you think of it.

i don't think its gone woke yet....but signs are there. Just because its not as blantant as Hollywood with race swap gay characters lol. look at the promoters for capcom, dialogue friendly and yes the removal of sexual humour. its a warning sign imo.

Separate Ways wasn’t in the original game. Separate Ways was only added into Resident Evil 4 when it came to the PS2 months after the original GameCube version. It was a little extra mode they added in to counter balance the downgrades they had to make when porting the game over to the PS2.

Yep, that's the one I played, so my point still stands. Dunno about the Gamecube version, I was talking about the PS2.
Man, the PS2 was quite an amazing console, many devs squeezed it for all that was worth. Nowadays, you have 100+ GB modern games that struggle to reach 60 FPS at times.
