Speaking of the knife, it has had a massive revamp. It says to players “we respect your skill, so use your knife, run away, whatever: we’re not helping you out”. To mitigate frustration, it respawns ammo behind your back at set locations. For example, having recently played through A Plague Tale Requiem, that game realises you can run out of ammo during certain scenes that are, frankly, reminiscent of the Resi 4 village onrush. But one thing that I was left thinking about is how well it compares to modern third-person adventures. There’s a crouch button, pared back crafting like in the previous two remakes so you can make ammo if you fall short.

On that note, it feels like a modern game or like the remakes do. Resident Evil 4 remake is brutal, perhaps more so than I remember. The first I knew of it was a flaming cow hoofing me in the back, while multiple onrushing ganado aimed pitchforks at me. A cow that stands in a barn under a torch will be set upon the locals if you shoot the torch, but in my third play of the preview build someone else set fire to the barn, and apparently the cow.

More than that, these aren’t static assets.

Bottles of wine will smash, and you can start with a fairly full room and end in an almost empty box. Not just crates and killable chickens litter the village, but when it all kicks off, the homes can be decimated from inside through combat. Jumping ahead slightly, the destructibility of the environment is impressive.

It feels like people could be living here, instead of living in small sheds. The architecture here seems to matter, and even the opening interaction with a villager takes place in a larger home, rather than a small shack. Real, lived in homes with the Resident Evil staple of a meal someone has cooked and long left to rot on a stove. Branches that suggest life has found a way, and that nobody is particularly bothered about gardening. The creeping dread of the dark, foreboding scenery. The opening section I played (well, it’s the opening of the original game, but who knows if they will add a Resi 2-style prologue to Resi 4) introduces Leon, the Ganado, and that village.Īnd how special it looks. That said, I do want to take just a moment to talk about how incredible it looks. Not just a graphical overhaul for the 2005 classic, it’s a reimagining, with clever and subtle ideas that, despite being early days, suggests a development team that is handling things with kid gloves, while bringing it right into the modern era. The seminal survival horror title transformed the genre that, frankly, it helped create, but after playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake for a short while, I can say I think it’s in safe hands. Overall, the Resident Evil 4 Remake changes enhance gameplay and provide new challenges for players while remaining true to the original game's essence.It’s been a while since I’ve been so nervous to play a game, but Resident Evil 4 is a beloved title, and for good reason. It may not make much sense, but it certainly makes the game less frustrating. Lastly, bear traps no longer deal damage in the Remake, which is a relief for players who are in a hurry and may accidentally walk into one. Krauser's plot has also been fixed, and Leon's relationship with Krauser is established earlier in the game. The game fills plot holes from the original and provides extra details about the origin of the Plagas, the history of the region, and even Luis' backstory. Plot coherency has also been improved in the Remake. You'll still see Leon getting decapitated, chainsawed, or impaled, but the game's gore factor has been reduced. The Remake has toned down the graphic violence from the original, making the deaths less explicit. It's still not easy, but it's much more manageable than before. If Ashley takes damage, she falls to the ground, and if she takes damage again before Leon can help her up, she dies.

However, in the Remake, the cultists have a new strategy: one kidnaps Ashley while the others swarm Leon. In the original game, keeping Ashley alive was a real challenge because she would die instantly from a single shot from Leon. If you appreciate high-quality visuals, you'll definitely love the updated look.Īnother significant change in gameplay is the removal of Ashley's separate health bar. The original game was impressive for its time, but the Remake takes it to a whole new level with stunning details in every environment, character, and costume redesign. One of the most striking changes in the Remake is the graphics. Hey everyone, have you had a chance to play the Resident Evil 4 Remake yet? It's been quite a challenge for the developers to balance old and new content while keeping fans engaged, but Capcom has done a great job with their previous Resident Evil remakes, and this one is no exception.
