Most of the library section in Chapter 9 of Resident Evil 4's remake can be skipped. However, the strategy comes with a bit of a catch.
The classic Resident Evil 4 GameCube release, the title that redfined the hugely popular series, debuted 20 years ago today.
Bought it the day it came out. Probably the most graphically impressive GameCube game.
It looks great but it's also pre-rendered backgrounds in tight, enclosed spaces. From a technical perspective RE4 is more impressive.
I'd say Resident Evil Zero which was canned on the Nintendo 64 and ported to the GameCube.
I still give it up to Factor 5 with Rogue Squadron 2 and 3. Those games look amazing still today. They squeezed a lot out of that box.
RE4 was no slouch either though.
I think I'd give it to Metroid Prime and Echoes. 60fps with all those particle effects, and Samus' reflections.
The Remaster on Switch and Trilogy version on Wii are actually missing certain graphical effects.
The most influential game of all time. Along with the movie Aliens, it has shaped the industry.
The gameplay and narrative influence on horror video games from Capcom's critically acclaimed Resident Evil 4 can still be felt 20 years later.
I'm hoping the updated version gets released on the next Switch, I'd love to have it portable.
I'm sure all the REmakes and newer entries will be on Switch 2. Looking forward to it!
Resident Evil 4 Remake has continued to sell like hotcakes, now surpassing the 9 million copies sold milestone worldwide.
Didnt enjoy this as much as I thought I would of seeing how the orginal 4 is my favorite entry in the series next to RE 2. That's the better remake imo.
I agree. I bought the original 4 for GameCube, PS2, Wii and PC, played it countless times, but something about the remake just didn't really click with me. I finished it once, tried playing it again, but didn't go far the second time.
Meanwhile, in the original 4 I couldn't wait to replay it after finishing it.
I bought it over a year and half ago and still didn’t bother to play it.. I will wait until there is nothing to play to try it.
RE2 is a great game! Gave me the oldschool vibes
RE4 remake is amazing, however, I feel Shooting is a little more difficult compared to the original... Like there's a delay I can't seem to get use too which frustrates me because I can't get consistent head shots.
I like some aspects of the design in RE2R but the sewer level is a big drag on repeat playthroughs for me. RE4 doesn’t have a dull moment imo. It’s super fun to replay.
Interesting. I loved the original like crazy and loved the remake also. Haven't played RE2 remake. It's on my crazy long list of games to play.
I liked both of them the same
Resident Evil 4 Remake was fantastic to the point the only nitpick I can give it when comparing it to the original is Ada's new voice actor who was so bad. The original might have had some cheesy voice acting and dialogue but Sally Cahill was a better Ada 20 years ago.
Just got done playing a session on PSVR 2. Its a lot of fun and a worthy remake of the original Mikami masterpiece. I'll play more tomorrow! 😁
TLOU2 sold 10m in less time and on PS4 only. Many Druckmann haters like to pretend it's a flop and that Japanese games like this are what the people want.
What's that got to do with Resident Evil?
I'll bite though. TLOU2 got 4 million at launch and yet it then suddenly took them 2 years to get to that 10 million despite the great momentum at the start. Also unlike other games released around the same time frame like Doom Eternal, FFVII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima etc it was discounted a lot earlier and more discounted in comparison. I remember seeing it online that following December at GAME for like £19.99 and when it came to the PSN it was also reduced more compared to some others.
God of War 2018 resulted in 3.1 million at launch (a figure lower that TLOU2 at launch), however in ONE year it was revealed to have reached 10 million copies sold.
Ghost of Tsushima, a brand new IP, managed to get 9.73 million sales within 2 years and that only released a month after TLOU2. That's super close to 10 million and with the game being brand new it had no fanbase already backing it in terms of hype and anticipation.
Yeah 10 million is a great number but lets not kid ourselves, with the hype and love for that franchise I bet you any money Sony were anticipating it to have done a lot bigger with how much was going for it. It's not a failure in the traditional sense but Sony were clearly hoping to get a lot more sales within that time frame.
Apologies for the long delay, I was away. Anyway, Doom/Ghost/FFVIIR etc didn't have to deal with a massive, malicious leak that spread a 4chan false narrative about the game and spoiled huge key moments in a game that was mostly anticipated for its story. To still hit 10m despite all of that going against it in 1.5 years and on PS4 only, was a triumph. God of War 2018 was brought down to $40 within 6 months of launch permanently (Oct 2018), but this fact is never brought up when TLOU2 price cuts are for some reason.
Meanwhile the remake for the greatest horror of all time (allegedly), Silent Hill 2, just now hits 2 million after 3 months on 3 platforms and this is a celebration.
Nah, I noticed as the game goes on she starts to open up a bit and even makes some jokes. I think it was around the time she hops on the crane and starts going to work with that wrecking ball that I even started liking her a little bit.
In the original I didn't much care for her, but in the remake she's not so bad. By the end of the game, I even missed her a little bit, felt like her and Leon were developing some chemistry. Maybe that's going too far, but it made me wish the story could continue and maybe Leon was serious about training her to be his partner.
You Can Skip 100% Of Ashley's Section In The Resident Evil 4 Remake, But There's A Catch
…the catch is not playing the game
I did this on my second play through. I just figured the time would work. And I hate the iron sights on the assault rifle so wasn’t a big deal to me, to miss it.
I've been utilizing all the chances to skip segments on the game on subsequent runs. Well placed rrenades or mines play a big part in blowing threw parts of the village and castle. I'm shocked they haven't patched out some of the things you can do. I avoid the glitches people use for fear of it corrupting my save or some other nasty bug but laying out traps ahead of a cutscene and watching the enemies get KO'd before they can react is fair game to me.Even works on boss fights. As for the Ashley part one full playthrough of it is enough for me. I intended to utilize the shortcut every time now. I don't even use the assault rifle. I'd rather save the rounds for my sniper rifle.
For a zombie game/movie fan re4 is the worst in series. Re 1-3 were scary with og zombies and mr.X and nemesis. Re4 spannish talking villagers aint scary at all. Its more like action game than horror. But re4 og was good for the Wii motion controlls and the chainsaw. Im waiting if re4 remake get proper psvr2 support before i buy this one. Re2 and 3 remakes were superb but im holding on re4.
