Resident Evil 4 remake

I won't judge the tone until I see how they portray Ramon Salazar!

Agree that the visuals aren't as impressive as I'd have thought, especially considering it's current gen only. I wonder by how much they'll actually deviate from the original. The storyline is being altered apparently, but nothing in the trailer looked "new" per sé.

I forgot a about it being developed outside and the turmoil they had. Would be very disappointing if this wasn't using re engine.

I did hear that most of the game will take place at night, which was the case anyway, but those early parts of the village will now be at night I think.

I just hope it's still got a goofy sense of humour with Leon's bad one liners and Ramon being cartoonish, although I'm excited to see how they mix it up.

I loved the two recent remakes, and never fully played RE4 (think I got as far as being attacked by a monster fish on a lake or something), so really looking forward to this. They missed the mark with RE3:Remake even though I still enjoyed it, but I think with the more tepid reaction to it and their recent multiplayer efforts, plus the reverence for RE4, I'd be really hopeful that this could be fantastic.

Haven't bought any of the remakes, but I'll get this one. My favourite RE. They'll have to remove that part anyway, wouldn't stand in todays world!

A certain Luis Serra line referencing "ballistics".

For some reason i thought Ashley was at most 16 so reading those lines that have been changed (which i have no recollection of anyway) seemed awful dodgy. Had to look it up and saw she is 20 in that game. Between the horny writing and the fact they definitely made her look, sound and act younger, jaysus Capcom.

Ashamed to say i never completed RE1 remake. I remember really enjoying it as they nailed the whole 'different enough yet keeping the nostalgia in place'. I only played a couple of hours and when i went back, my save was gone and i just played something else instead and never went back. Actually looking for something to play for the next week so gonna install it and give it another spin.

Also, the RE1 classic is still absolutely brilliant and with picking up on modern consoles.

You know what, I'm gonna do the same. I have 3 progress items lying around the place, including a key i can't pick up. And it's taking away from the game as instead of soaking in the atmosphere, I'm trying to remember where different items are to make trips back and forth to get them.

Tiny snippet from tonight's Capcom presentation. Maybe seven seconds of new footage... 😂 The only interesting bit really is that they're completely redesigning los ganados (apparently).

I absolutely love the old school inventory system as it required a little bit of thinking. In any case I barely ever ran out of space in the RE 2/3 remakes as you get plenty of hip pouches in the game. For me RE2 remake is one of the best games ever and by the time you complete RE2 remake you have 20 item slots.

RE1 and RE1 remake I didnt get frustrated because I always picked Jill over Chris who's much more manageable.

Can't wait for the RE4 remake, day 1 purchase for me

The gang's all here!

PS4 edition can be upgraded to PS5 edition at no extra cost.

Giggity

Can't say, they've given her a heavy coat and pants. Taking that feedback seriously! Gonna be a lot of disappointed weirdos out there.

This was the only RE I actually enjoyed. The first 3 were alright, but this one won me over and then made the following ones pale in comparison. I think it's because it leaned more into the action than the horror. But I'm not sure I want to spend €70 to replay a game that now looks like I remember it.

New info from Game Informer (via other non-paywalled sites);

• No QTEs, at least not in the style of the original game i.e. button mashing to onscreen prompts
• There will be optional mini-side quests
• Ashley will be less vulnerable - they say she will now "feel more like a natural companion and less like a second health bar to babysit"
• Knives can break, but spares can be carried in inventory
