No, it's pretty common in here that most people feel it never needed a remake. The only real dated thing is not moving while aiming, but other than that it's still a solid experience with a fuck load of content. RE4 is available on fucking everything. It's not inaccessible. The HD project version of it may as well be a true remake of it with meticulous attention to every single pixel of the game being rerendered with new textures.Forgive me if this take has already been thrown out for the fifty billionth time, but RE4 remake might be the most unnecessary game remake of all time. I already in general hate that everything churned out by publishers now is a remake because the industry has been creatively bankrupt for a decade now; and while I didn't like the RE2 remake and still think the PS1 games are still perfectly playable (especially with the Sourcenext ports), I at least understand the logic behind remaking 2 and 3 because some people (plebs) can't into tank controls.
But RE4 is probably the closest any game I think has ever had to perfect gameplay. It's formula is so tight and had so much care put into it to make it fun that anything will pale in comparison. And even doing it to give a new coat of paint doesn't make sense because of the RE4 HD Project, which makes the game truly shine and show how strong the art direction was for it.
It just feels like a cashgrab, and it doesn't shock me that people are excited for it/will buy it, I accepted a long time ago that people that enjoy vidya (myself included) are fucking retarded, but c'mon, this is just too blatant I feel.
But yeah. It's a cash grab. They'll milk it for years and years just like the last one. RE has hit a creative deadend for at least a decade. Post Wesker's death they don't know what to do with the series anymore since they killed off their core villain and can't get anything to replace him, so they're going to retread 30 years of old ground again, but very poorly.
I can almost accept this remake for what it was but everything in the trailers is telling me it's going to be terrible EXCEPT for the gameplay, and RE4's charm was as much everything else as much as it was for gameplay. The voice acting in this is SSShit tier. Even the castle zealots sound very shit in the new trailer. The zealots in the original were creepy as fuck. They still hold up, as much as everything else in the original.
You just know they'll milk the fuck out of this for the next 3-4 consoles. "RE4R remastered for PS6"I have this goofy unironic theory that Capcom is trying to get RE4 to have more versions/ports than Dragon's Lair.
