I absolutely love the tons of world building they did in such surprisingly subtle ways. - Blue light stuns the Plagas --> That's why the merchant has blue lanterns and doesn't get attacked - If you look at a Ganado with the Biosensor scope you can see that the Plaga itself is located in the neck --> That's why a stab to the neck instantly kills any infected - A note mentions that Plagas can even infect birds --> That's why flashbangs kill crows - There are both an old and a new version of Las Plagas, the old one damaging the brain and being the one administered to the villagers and castle inhibitants, the new one being the one given to a few scientists and Krauser. The old versions pop out of every wound (e.g. after blowing off a Ganado's arm) and are the head-exploding variant seen in villagers, soldiers, etc, the new one giving Krauser a bit more control over his transformation. --> This implies that the old Plagas either entirely hollow out their victim and wear it like a skin suit or take over the nervous system with their tentacles, the Plaga's "main body" (the little bug thing in the injections) residing in the neck, which is also why the suits of armor are so wobbly in their movements. Las Plagas try to control the armor like a human skin suit, but they lack any pre existing joints and muscles, so the Plaga has trouble walking and attacking.

Krauser was like the definition of a textbook one-note character in the original, like he literally just shows up, banters with Leon a bit, then dies while the game pretends like there's some deep history between them without actually fleshing any of it out until after the fact with a side-game. He was just a Wesker goon who took the Plaga pill because it would make him stronger, but now he has his own motivations that actually addresses his history with Leon, even if he is copying some of his homework from Vergil.

The only major thing I disagree with here is krauser, his role in the remake is way more interesting than "triple agent" like in the original, since we already had ada. Here he's Leon's darker reflection. Both of them went through a b.o.w. encounter ending in disaster, while Leon saw the terror of this, krauser saw the absolute power of it all, but this is where he no longer becomes one note. During his boss fight he explicitly says "without power you can't protect anything" not only that he still has all the dog tags of the men he lost in operation javier. While he not might admit outright, he still deeply cared about losing his men, and the betrayal of the u.s government. Also his insistent rookie calling of Leon stops the moment Leon finally deals the killing blow. Almost as if he was imparting a final lesson with his own death. Krauser most likely understood he was wrong in the end. Now you can call all this cliché, but I don't think you could ever call it one note. Especially compared to the original of "all for umbrellas sake" Krauser

I think Krauser was actually an improvement. Instead of being just a thug with no agency that was working with Wesker, we now have a character that makes his own decision to join the Los Illuminados because of what he saw during Operation Javier. The fact that he's now Leon's superior instead of comrade in arms was also a nice change. It now gives them a Master & Apprentice connection. And since Krauser is the one who taught Leon, he knows his true potential. With that in mind, it makes their fight in the ruins not only a battle of ideals, Krauser, wanting power for the sake of self preservation, and Leon gaining power for the sake of protecting others., but also almost a final graduation ceremony for Krauser. He dies knowing that he'll live through the lessons Leon carries onward. There's a respect there that we don't typically see with other RE villains.

Darkside Chronicles was released 4 years after RE4 was released. And judging from the dialogue and the notes found around the checkpoint we’ll be getting a Darkside Chronicles remake, that’ll probably do better in the story writing and give more backstory between leon and krauser and from the sounds of it we’ll actually see how Leon came to join the President and train with Krauser.

During his fight he keeps taunting you almost like a drill instructor, and his death is almost of a proud teacher. Makes me wonder what was under the plagas' control and what was his own volition.

Speaking as someone who absolutely *adores* the original like so many others, I have to say that the remake is so good in its own right. It takes everything established in the 2005 game and expands upon it in a way that makes the experience feel different yet familiar for newcomers and veterans alike. That's not to say it completely overshadows the original as there are a few key things, namely the radio banter between Leon and the villains and some small gameplay things like the reload animations not being as cool (I know, I'm a wierdo) and a better Ada voice actor that the 2005 game still does better. In conclusion, Resident Evil 4 (2023) is a tremendous accomplishment in filling the shoes of a game as big as the original. While the original still has its place and is still fun to play, the remake has plenty of changes that make it just as, if not more enjoyable experience. This is an instance where I am more than happy to have eaten the crow in regards to my doubts about this game when it was first announced. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Krauser’s voice in the original was really great. That knife fight in the first meeting is fantastic. His actual introduction and relationship to Leon is awful in the original. The man just immediately starts spewing exposition and we are not given any idea of who he is and how he knows Leon. He is getting treated like another Ada but we simply did not have any background knowledge or familiarity with him which makes it fall flat. The aspect of playing multiple sides and being unsure with loyalties is done much better by Ada. Umbrella Chronicles does some good in explaining these issues but you shouldn't have to play a side game just to get a basic explanation on who is he. Bad writing is not always meant to be ambiguous. Remake Krauser serves well as a obstacle for Leon to overcome in regards to dealing with the past and trauma.

15:16 Yes he likes to smoke but it's his code word. He assumed when Leon found him he might be "Ada" or someone with Ada but wanted to be sure/safe. That's why he lets his guard down a bit and is relieved when "Ada"/Ada responds wih the code phrase they discussed in their emails. 21:00 Stuff like that and U3 is likely being saved for Seperate Ways.

Luis mentioning smokes constantly is partially because it's the codephrase he's supposed to use to identify Wesker's agent, so when Leon doesn't reply the way he's supposed to he just asks Leon to untie him instead. He then asks Ada and she responds as she's supposed to telling Luis she's the agent he's supposed to meet. Also one of the QTE failures made it into the remake as a death animation. If you fail the struggle with Krauser in the knife fight it recreates the death from the original if you failed the mash QTE at the end of the fight. Overall I like the tonal change in this game, it feels more in line with the modern games and also helps it stand out from the original. Like seeing an old cheesy horror classic get a surprisingly good modern remake which doesn't replace the original but they compliment each other (e.g original Evil Dead Vs 2013 Evil Dead)
@failurextreme7084

Hold up, you think Krauser actually making decisions for himself and being driven by his past is a character down grade to just being a pawn of a dude you don't even see in this game? I don't think I can agree with that one chief. They put a lot of work into fleshing Krauser out even changing his relationship with Leon to make the confrontations more poignant kinda like naked snake taking on the boss. You also kept referring to him as deranged but like he's the only one of the bosses who keeps control of himself when he transforms, he only goes as far as he thinks he needs to to beat Leon he is extremely in control. I mean to each their own, you can prefer whichever one you like best, but I really don't understand that point in particular.
@abluntuser940
Жыл бұрын
I'm with some of the other commenters here about how the Krauser stuff is new. But also I want to point out that Ashley and Leon have a much nicer bond, which I can get behind. I actually really disliked some of the sections you mentioned before, with U-3, the level dragon treasure room, the Salzar statue chase, etc. Those sections always felt like padding to me, and drew the game out too much. I like how much cleaner and more logical the new spaces are in this game while also keeping those references and nostalgic visuals for me as an RE4 veteran. Also, the charms are really fun. This time I actually have a reason to play that minigame (to get those charm perks with tokens) instead of just getting hard-to-collect bottle caps for money. I like the perks with the drop rates and discounts a lot more than direct bottle cap money. Overall I personally think the re4 remake overshadows the original, though that's just my preference since I felt the original game from 2005 had too much cheese for my liking. I've always been a bigger fan of surreal horror and darker themes, which this remake clearly has more than the original. Yeah the original was funny and the gameplay was awesome, but the storyline was kinda forgettable and on-offish in some aspects. And also, just being able to move while reloading is an amazing and welcome feature which made me feel so much less stale.

Yeah, for real. As a massive bloodborne fan, that track felt like it took inspirations from the same sources! Gives me vibes of those gothic, almost early tim burton era of film type scores and it was fantastic. I will say, I wasn't too surprised by the direction they took with his track though, considering that introduction to RE Village showed just how much the current RE Team seem to be a sucker for that Tim Burton aesthetic. Brilliant track overall! I'm also a bit upset he didn't bring up that many of the tracks (not just the Mendez one) are essentially remixes of their original counterparts. Some were done better than others though, but I think the soundtrack in the castle overall was the best in the game, with the island being the weakest. Then again, can't say I was a big fan of the original Island tracks either - threw the distinct tone RE4 was riding on completely out of the window (other than the Regenerator track, which is absolutely phenomenal)

I do like how this re4 is more grounded in realism and less cheesy, I do miss the old dialogue but as you stated this is a more moody/ darker remake so to have them in would be silly. I am happy they cut the u3 fight, it seemed redundant and like filler. The voice acting I feel like was perfect apart from Ada, the big cheese, saddler and Ramon having a more Spanish accent was a nice touch. I do agree that it was disappointing not seeing the bosses transform, that would of made the game more scary/ intense.

I disagree with you about the music being forgettable. I think they're making the music phenomenal or even surpassing the original, both in the rearrangement and in the new score. In the original, most songs are more subtle, high-tension, creepy, and atmospheric than in the remake. In the remake, they added a lot of new songs that fit what they tried to present for the remake. What I like about the new take on Salaza's theme with the orchestra music reminds me of the Alexia theme from Code Veronica, with the arena that looks like a dancing hall combined with classical waltz music that really fits his royal characteristic in this version. El Gigante and Del Lago have their own themes now, or even the Shooting Gallery music was remixed from the intro, which is better than the original.

I love the remake tbh, compared to other remakes I think they totally killed it here. I love the expansions and some of the cuts. I love the new knife combat. The only downside, with risk to sounding like a bitch, is it’s difficulty. I feel like it tries to throw as many enemies as the original with 1/10th the ammo and health. I tried it at first on hardcore and had to quit halfway through cause I ran out of ammo completely and couldn’t continue, the first time I’ve ever had to restart an RE game cause of loss of resources. Even in standard, with fully upgraded weapons, on my third run, I was never good on ammo, it seemed like I was always on the brink of running out of some form of ammo. Only now that I have the infinite knife and rpg do I finally have surplus ammo for weapons I no longer have :| I love the new treasure mechanic. The OST is a bit lacking compared to the original.

Hard disagree when you said the combat in the original is better. OG pretty much goes "headshot,kick,knife enemy in the ground,headshot,kick,knife enemy in the ground" in this remake,combat is approachable in several different ways. You will never be just kicking everyone then stabbing them in the ground

ehhh... that is pretty much exactly what combat is now. Same as it ever was. Sometimes they twitch. You knife prompt finish them to stop transformation. But you're still going for a crit shot stagger, and following it with a kick or suplex... what other, more viable approach is there? That is literally the game.

@@phant0mdummy that's just not true at all, especially in higher difficulties. So many enemies in the game die without even needing to be kicked, and it's a terrible idea to knife or even shoot them while they're on the ground because you'll get fucked by other ganados for standing still. When a ganado is transforming, it's better to just let them transform and then blasting their plaga with the shotgun. The knife is as important as the original in the remake, but not for the same reason.

@@phant0mdummy total nonsense. You're surrounded,you quickly manage to shoot a ganado in the head,there's one beside him so the kick hits the two and kock them,killing one and stunning the other. You turn the camera just as another throws a pickaxe then BAM parry. Quickly switch to the shotgun,blast that one away. Another one comes closing in with a pitchfork,perfect parry,kick him away. He gets on the ground,starts to twitch,knife to the throath,dead. That is the remake experience. OG is pretty much headshot,kick,knife on the ground 80% of the time. And that is no exaggeration at all,Ive played OG to death and love it,but thats facts

Because the original was original, it marked a transition in the genre, and in the gaming landscape of the time. You remake babies, I get it, this was your first RE experience, and I dont mean RE game, but EXPERIENCE. Also you cannot speak about what TRADITIONAL fans wanted, because you dont even know what it is or what it means. Survival horror is not only OOOH SCARY HALLWAY OMG, let me give you one example you brain dead zoomer, the fact that in the originals your resources, ammo, hebs and gun powder were limited meant that you had to choose your fights, can i fight that guy? well should i fight that guy? wait no I can just go around him. When in RE4 it was about using said resources because enemies dropped them by the hundreds.

Something I absolutely loved about Saddler in the OG is how very different he is compared to other RE villains. Saddler is always calm, the way he speaks and carries his voice. Hell, he never directly insults Leon, hes honestly impressed at his skills. He never once loses his temper or even raises his voice. He does not think himself better then you, merely simply above you. I do like the more religious angle in the remake, however. He is the leader of the cult.

You said you were disappointed that they took the lava room with the moving dragon heads and the Salazar titan parts completely instead incorporating some of their aspects in the game, but they did …… they merged them just like they did with the recking ball room and with Ashley driving the truck. in the clock tower fight you can see a moving Salazar figure that launches fire at you that way they did exactly what you said you hoped they do 😅 they cut the parts but still incorporated their ideas so we don’t lose them completely

OMG hardly agree with the combat. it felt more engaging as facings odds became more claustrophobic, led to ducking, parrying, CQC, and shooting. further along the game became more systematical as you switch between pistol, shotgun, sniper, and explosives as you micromanage incoming enemy varieties as you see fit and utilizing the surrounding comes as leverage.

I think Wesker's new voice is great. His voice is really similar to Richard Waugh's, who did Code Veronica and RE4 (2005), and the way he delivers the line still has his cruel characteristics from Wesker and not too much super evil like in RE5. The only one I don't like is the new Ada voice acting; she is the most bland, with no characteristics at all. Even though some people may not like Krauser's new voice, he still has his own direction for the character.
