Resident Evil 4 REmake - March 24th 2023 - real gamers play on Hardcore ;)

[stir fry]

I assume the other remake is Metroid. The thing with RE is its formula is just sort of timeless, it's the playability of the game's themselves that age like milk. So it's not super surprising that people still love these Resident Evil remakes (at least the ones that turned out well like 2 and 4)

Rocksteady spends most of a decade slaving away on a game encapsulating all modern trends and has to delay it half a year because everyone pre-emptively loathes it, meanwhile two consecutive GameCube remakes show up and everyone is in love with them. Can’t quite get over it.

Fucking yes!

The parry is pretty generous, though I keep pressing in the right stick to crouch instead of B when they lunge for a grab. Too many other games use that for crouch.

 

Great bit of fun is the parry winds up hacking off the arms of anyone who tries to punch you barehanded.

 

Also, I wish the damn Series X would stop dulling down HDR videos.

 

I swapped Run and Crouch to Circle/B and R3. It instantly made everything feel better.

and in a different direction, this does raise questions as to why there isnt an xbone version ...

 

Sony probs paid for it not to be on Xbox one.

Run toggle on B/O always

Had a go at the demo on PC. Tried controller and M&K and frankly mouse and keyboard is so much better, really nice control on it. I found it a lot easier when faced with multiple enemies although I still got mobbed as I get a bit spammy.

 

Not happy the knife isn't infinite though, that's my kick'n'slash routine fucked.

[Curtis]

Loving the changes they've made to this. The parry is a godsend. And his kick is OP as fuck!

 

I cleared the demo with no real issues. But I am the type who still plays RE5 and RE6 Mercs for fun. 

 

My tactic was to grab as many items as I could before killing anyone (stealth neck stabby is allowed). Then go to the Shotgun room to trigger the cutscene. From there you wait for a bunch to group together and kite them towards Flame Cow.  

 

After that its basically Benny Hill and ducking or parrying melee attempts until the timer runs out. I forget the set time before the bell, but it's only a couple of minutes.

 

I'm assuming everyone has changed the button mash to button hold in the options? Save your controller and fingers the stress.

 

Cannot believe it's out in 2 weeks. Oh happy days!

I’m shit at any scary games because I’m a complete pussy, but managed to beat the demo on my first try. Can’t stop thinking about it. Resident Evil 4 is one of my all time favourite games, but I can’t see me finishing it as I’ll find it way too tense.

 

Looks incredible though.

I can't wait to see how they handle the regenerators in this remake. Gonna be some wild shit i'd bet

[krenzler]

Glad they’ve saved them for release day. Knowing what they got. 

[robdood]

Bloody hell.  That was glorious.  I don't often day-one games these days.  But might have to try find the money / time haha.  This is going to be stupendous based on this  demo alone. 

 

I had one go, probably about 25 mins in all, creeping my way through.  Almost survived the mob, but at the last second got grabbed by a guy who just held me up for chainsaw dude to have a go. RIP Leon.  Was expecting slightly better gore on Leon's death tbh, but maaaaaan this is great in all aspects, I even like the vibe of how they're doing the story bits.  

 

But  no more demo needed.  Roll on the full thing.

Yeah I just pre-ordered off CDKeys for £35.99. Looking forward to giving this a go now.

My body is ready.

The crazy mode to trigger. Jesus Christ!

The control setting one up from the default called A-2 does exactly this, so they clearly knew it would be desirable. More important to have that on R3 than the Ashley toggle. 

[Alex W.]

It’s a little thing but I love that you walk through a shed in this and it immediately goes from night time to daylight. A lesser developer would’ve made a more naturalistic choice but it’s exactly right for the mood of the scene and a fun example of actual cinematic montage in a game.

[Steven]

Really want to play the demo but going to hold out for VR mode. For now.

[Alex W.]

I think they held that back because people are going to fucking die if the stress levels in the normal version are anything to go by.

Oh, shit. I'd totally forgotten about those in the game!

 

Not looking forward to that section. At all. Nope. Nah. Hell no!!

 

 

[SuperCapes]

I played 4 recently and the Regenerators are still frightening. I have completed it dozens of times and they still unnerve me. 

 

The developers wanted to make the game scarier... Well that bit is going to be absolutely horrific. 

[earlymodernsteve]

Replayed the HD version last week and that snuffling, shambling noise is etched into my fear memory.

[Kayin Amoh]

People found the regenerators scary? Hmm.

 

Anyway, been playing Mad Chainsaw mode and I'm becoming a little annoyed by the fact that Leon has to kick ladders over with the same button he uses to hop out windows. First time I was killed because someone popped up a ladder at the same time I was trying to jump out, second time I was on the roof and ran to the edge to jump down. I'm not sure you even need to use a button to jump off (while running from a chainsaw wielding psychopath muscle memory kicks in), but I was right beside a ladder I couldn't see and instead of jumping down I took a chainsaw in the back after knocking the ladder down.

 

Gah. it's a small and situational thing, but it's been the way two of my runs ended in a row.

[Haribokart]

Despite very much enjoying and finishing the OG Resi, Code Veronica & 7 I've somehow never played RE4.

Series X here, tried the eye Candy setting and it feels sluggish as hell. I’ll be changing that to performance mode when I dive back in.

 

I’ll also try the PC version later, I presume there’s DLSS for 60fps raytracing with my 3070?

No HDR or comfy couch though…

No HDR on PC? Do you mean because of your monitor/setup? And some said bad HDR earlier in the thread? Wut? 

 

PSA: The HDR is pretty damn good in this (on PC for me!), esp compared to 2 with the raised blacks

Oh man the TMP is so satisfying to use, the dual sense recoil just feels dialled in so right. 

[Kayin Amoh]

 

Guaranteed mad chainsaw mode.

Ditch all your stuff before opening the double doors into the village square, then head behind the cow shed and hop down the well.

Nice. I'll go and have a look for it on my next go.
