So between these three games, which one is your favourite and why? Myself, I've finished AW2 and about halfway through RE4 with Dead Space saved for last.
Just curious, haven’t played original in ages, but what parts do you think are better about original re4?Haven’t played Dead Space Remake because imo 360 era games definitely don’t need remakes and I would’ve just preferred an HD remaster trilogy.
Haven’t played AW2 yet because it’s digital only and I ain’t buying digital full price; gonna wait for a “Complete” Edition Physical version or, sans that, or a sale on digital.
RE4R isn’t as good as the original, but a slightly worse version of one the best games of all time is still better than most so I voted that.
I think the Island is better in the OG, the remake condenses it too much. The remake condenses a bunch of sections from the OG, but I feel the Island is the most egregious example.Just curious, haven’t played original in ages, but what parts do you think are better about original re4?
DS and RE4 wouldn't need remakes, and RE4R is worse than the original. So by far, Alan Wake 2.
I have no real issue with there being a DS remake, other than it gives false hope they'll remake the 2nd and 3rd game.
I don't doubt it's within the realm of possibility, but if it doesn't happen it's going to be jarring going back and replaying the 2nd and 3rd game, due to the difference in graphics. That is the sucky thing with remakes though in and of themselves.
A good game is a good game. Doesn't matter if it's a remake or original IP but I hear where you're coming from.What a shame that so many people are voting RE4R.
No wonder we keep getting remakes or rotten concepts and so few new original ideas.
Also, many games age way better than people pretend. RE4 og is built around the slow aiming, it was never supposed to control like a run off the mill military shooter. People are just too stubborn to embrace different game systems these days and then cry "bad". Look, I wouldn't recommend decades old games to casuals, just like I wouldn't recommend subtitled black and white movies to an average Marvel movie goer. But when I see supposed game enthusiasts trash old RE4, I say get outta here.I think majority of remakes are uncecessary. Games like Shadow of the Colossus (that had awful fps) are cool and justified, or a real old game they want to revive. Other than that it's a waste imo.
Wow, you are my exact opposite in many regards. I love RE3make more than any other installment and I thanked the heavens that the Island in RE4make was streamlined as it made the final chapters of Resident Evil 4 on Professional mode very frustrating (Fuck you for being no help at all Mike!). I also abhor Luis in the remake while really liking the new Krauser. I will agree that the new Ada is absolute gutter trash but Novistador sections are equally annoying (the Novistador cave after the mines is even slightly worse than the castle section with them). I have found that with the right cases you can actually get the crafting materials you need to use the weapon you prefer more consistently than the original. With the critical bonuses on various weapons setting up staggers outside of the highest difficulty is not much different from the original. I still prefer the original with mods for various reasons, but the remake was relatively competent. At the very least you received the best Mercenaries mode in the whole franchise.I think the Island is better in the OG, the remake condenses it too much. The remake condenses a bunch of sections from the OG, but I feel the Island is the most egregious example.
I also think the pacing is better overall in the OG. The level design really pushes you from one section to the next with minimal backtracking. The remake has more looping around areas. It makes sense because with the higher fidelity graphics reusing areas in a smart way was probably the best option development wise. Backtracking is fun in classic RE games, but is less fun in the more Action oriented RE4, which is why I still like the pacing in the OG more.
The sewer section where the Novistadors first show up in the OG is not in the remake, and I really like that section. The Novistador sections in the remake are more annoying than OG in general too.
I don’t like how higher difficulties in the remake makes it harder to stagger enemies. By the time you get to the island in it headshotting with a pistol is almost worthless. The original threw a bunch of enemies at you but still rewarded your good aim with headshot/kneeshot staggers consistently. The knife parries are a great addition and some people say the lowered enemy gun staggers are supposed to make you rely on the parry system more. The thing is the mercenaries mini game has consistent gun staggers and knife parries and is arguably where the combat shines the most, and is the most fun.
The crafting system didn’t need to be added. OG’s ammo drop system was fine and fit the faster pacing better. Stopping to craft stuff is, again, better suited to classic style RE, 2 Remake or 7. But all the new RE games have it so they probably just put it in by default.
Leon had better lines in the original. His new voice actor is fine though. The remake gives more character to Louis and Ashley, which is good and arguably better than OG. The voice actors for new Krauser and Ada are just bad, especially Ada. Krauser’s new motivation of being crazy ptsd guy is underwhelming.
These are just my complaints. The game is still really good it just doesn’t replace the original. It definitely isn’t RE3make disappointing.
Oh no don’t get me wrong the 4 remake still slaps it’s just for those reasons I stated I don’t think it’s as good as the original. RE3make was fun to Speedrun, but I wish it didn’t cut so much from the original. That being said I never liked 3 as much as 1,2, and 4 anyways. But at least RE is still going strong in current year; I’m thankful for that.Wow, you are my exact opposite in many regards.
