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.

Nerdmaster157d ago

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.

Cacabunga156d ago

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.

Concertoine157d ago

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.

Storm23157d ago

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.

gleepot157d ago

Don't worry, you can have a bad opinion.

-Foxtrot156d ago

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 finished this on Jan 1st. Intense final stretch! Game still holds up. 👍

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! 😁

Babadook7157d ago

I really really loved it on PSVR2. Personally RE8 is my favourite though.

legendkilla157d ago

I've been having a blast playing in VR too!

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.

-Foxtrot156d ago

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.

generic-user-name132d ago

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.

Ex-Naughty Dog Dev Says Resident Evil 4 Inspired Uncharted and Many More Action Games

Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.

CrimsonWing6925d ago

It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.

I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.

InUrFoxHole25d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske25d ago

I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games

italiangamer25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl348533d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9234d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil33d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
