RE4 Official discussion thread

[Twinblade★ 3,892]

I know this forum is practically dead and all but damn, I didn't expect a RE4 remake to generate such little discussion.

 

Anyway I expect to finish the game later tonight so ill share some more thoughts then.

Goddamn the gem system seems too good at times. I just slotted 5 of the same colored ones into a crown and it increased its value from 19K to nearly 100k ptas  im also using the case that increases the drop rate for ptas so I’m pretty loaded right now.

well installing the gams was also the same in the original. I don't know if the item description hinted to you that the gem looks like it was once belong as part of a thing. And then eventually you gained the crown, or mask, and could start putting gems in them.

This one is all based on colors so its a bit different. depending on what color gems you insert you get a multiplier that increases the value of the item. The crown for example has 5 whole slots so If you can gather 5 gems of the same color and then slot them in the value of it increases by a huge amount.

People just found out that you can actually shoot the church bell from the village to end that encounter early. Pretty cool attention to detail.

It worked like this in the orginal.

RE4 is a game we all played a billion times over the last 18 years.  While the remake is excellent at its core its RE4... Not really a new experience but a new take on a old experience. 

 

So the only new things to really discuss gameplay wise would be the new additions to the remake. 

 

There have been several threads about the game's graphics and performance on PS5 vs Xbox.

I want to play this someday  

Is it still full of small details like the original or is it a soulless remake?

Those threads are just arguments about graphics. Nobody is actually discussing the game itself.

It appears to have a lot of added details. Watch some of the vids.  Pretty wild.

Just finished it after 15 hours with a B rank

 

Great game, i'd say for the average person it'll at least be as good as RE2 remake or better. For me personally I would just barely give the edge to RE2, mainly because its bigger focus on horror and puzzles was more my thing.

 

The game will definitely surprise with some of the additions and changes, so im interested in seeing how more people react to that stuff.

 

I will say I do wish they had done more to flesh out the characters and story. Maybe Im just spoiled by Sony's first party games, but it just seems odd how you spend sizeable chunks of the game with Ashley and outside of a one liner here and there she's just mute and you basically know nothing about her or her backstory.

 

Leon's one liners are phenomenal though. They're so campy and cheesy, I legitimately smiled at almost every single one of them.

 

Also they changed Ada's voice actor and her new voice takes A LOT of getting used to. It doesn't really fit the character if ill be honest.

 

But yeah I enjoyed myself quite a bit overall. I would have immediately jumped into New Game+ on a harder difficulty setting if I wasn't in the middle of Trails to Azure and Company of Heroes 3. I need to make more progress in those games first.

I was kinda upset when I saw a short 2 minute video that revealed a secret that immediately started getting people in the comments sections salivating about seeing speedruns.

 

this game definitely has some rewards for fucking around with stuff.

Really? I'm not getting this at all. I found RE2 to be more horror focused, mainly because of the tighter, more enclosed environments and arguably bigger emphasis on gore. RE4 absolutely has that but the first hour of RE2 features cops getting chewed in half and shit. Also the tyrant chasing you around when you can only stun him, and the fact he's relentless about it. I'll add the caveat that I played that game through like 4 times and the latter 3 I had a infinite ammo submachine gun which I used to light zombies up for fun which wasn't exactly creating a 'horror' style of gameplay but I'm finding RE4 more along those lines. RE4 is great so far (I'm only on chapter 4) but I find I can generally just run away and take people out from distance. Also, little touches like the merchants pirate themed gun range don't exactly build horror. Its great nonetheless but I'm intrigued as to why you think its more horror based than RE2.

Since you can't buy DLC in Russia I'm waiting for the disk version with Seperate Ways on it. RE4 Gold edition.

[Sabo 442]

In 2 days the game has apparently sold over 3 million already. That's insane.

Not high just tired, lmao. I read your post incorrectly as you giving the edge to RE4 because of the increased horror when you actually said RE2. I was like what the fuck do you mean.
