Resident Evil 4 Remake Is Absolutely Ridiculous

Hey guys this video does contain MINOR spoilers, but very little is shown after you reach the castle.

Leon's one-liners and humor no longer feels like arrogance, but more of him trying his best to cope with how screwed he is. *one year later edit: Man why did I call him arrogant, I think overconfidence would be nicer sorry love

The length of the game being increased is absolutely not a negative. I spent 37 hours on my first play through and really felt i got my money's worth

Minor correction, you actually CAN parry dynamite. Regular parries will blow up the dynamite in your face. But if you got balls of steel and perfect parry a stick of dynamite, Leon straight up cuts the wick off before the fuse reaches the stick, leaving you safe. You can also parry torches.

Most of the enemies werent very scary but i legit was screaming as I was making Leon run around trying to avoid the regeneradors in hardcore mode. The devs did a good job making them horrifying to to battle against.

I like that when you miss a couple of shots, Leon would say, "Seriously?" As if he's talking to us, the players. It's the small details that make this remake more fun when playing through it.

I love how despite areas being so different, you are still able to pinpoint where you'd be in the original game

I know a lot of people don't notice this but I really freaking appreciate that the ganados are actually speaking European Spanish. I was never offended or anything like that from the first game, in fact, it just added to the b-movie camp factor, but if this game really wanted to be more serious I'm glad they actually took the time to find Spanish voice actors instead of just casting whoever spoke Spanish near capcom hq. An equivalent scenario would be if leon was sent to some random English town where everyone spoke as if they were in trailer park boys

Ashley is the best hype woman for the shooting gallery. I actually really enjoy her rework

Frankly the game is so nice that it's not even possible to complain that it's "too long", we can only salute capcom for the good work and wishing all remakes would be as good as this one

I saw that the knife duel between Jack and Leon is now fully interactive with no QTEs at all. For once, that's VERY impressive.

I love how Leon always keeps his cool no matter how fucked up the situation is

The only “issue” I had with this game was that the merchant repeats lines too frequently and it takes me out a little bit. Other than that this remake stands right by the original as one of the best games of all time.

I love how Ashley praises Leon when you do well at the merchants shooting gallery. So freakin cute.

Ashley responding to Leon’s ridiculous actions is perfect

Another thing I love about this remake is that I played through on hardcore mode the first time and I liked how literally any enemy can wreck your shit if you let them especially with how scarce the ammo can be at times most combat encounters I was clutching it but man it's rewarding when you finally overcome it and you get out with like 2 handgun bullets left with no healing items

What I love most is how little they changed the regenerators. Sure, they changed the surroundings and updated the graphics, but if you played the 2005 re4, you’ll realize the regenerators sound and look practically the same. They were just that amazing!

The attention to detail in this game is what really impressed me the most. In the first village fight you can actually shoot the bell which will trigger the cutscene and you can just skip the whole fight. Edit: You can actually do this with a pistol, but it's much harder to do than with a sniper because physics exists.

I've never seen anyone complain about his goofy side in the original. It's what gave RE4 its soul.

I never thought the OG or the remake were too long. I loved that the remake felt longer, it made it feel like Leon was really fighting for his life rather than just blowing through the cult like they were nothing. I don’t think either game is too long, I mean i did a speed run of the original RE4 in 2.5 hours and the remake in a bit under 5 hours.
