While the Resident Evil 4 remake succeeds in making Leon more capable, doing so makes playing its predecessors feel clunky by comparison.
Resident Evil 3 Remake is one of the most debated games in Capcom’s survival horror series, but it’s just as good as the remake of Resident Evil and 2019’s RE2.
It’s a good game, but a terrible Remake.
I would choose the original over this Remake any day of the week. More areas, more enemies, more bosses, choice options, better unlockables, and I could go on and on.
If you go into this Remake as it’s own game and not compare it to what it’s, uh, Remaking, then yea it’s a solid game.
But I do not consider the Remake portion of this game to be “good,” like at all.
Sure it was scripted quite a bit but I enjoyed it. Really good replayability as well.
I can't comment on the "remake" aspect as I never played 3, didn't like tank controls even back then.
But as far as the remake goes as a game, I've got like 40 hours in it and played it far more then the 2 remake. I absolutely enjoyed the combat engine and dodge mechanic.
There is one thing I think the RE2 Remake does better and that’s movement speed
Even moving around enemies in the RE2 remake was better
If you try to run past enemies in RE4 and one is directly in your way, it’s harder to swerve around them and they’ll most likely grab you
Even running from enemies you seem slower. If I was running at Leon’s speed in RE4 in RE2 while being chased by Mr X I feel like he’d have been right on my ass constantly with no breathing room. Sometimes it feels like Leon is trying to run in tar.
Joke's on you, I'm playing with Control Type C1.
