![]() The Resident Evil 4 remake is a fantastic game as was the original game it was based on. The first run through took me just over 20 hours. Lifespan -8- After finishing my first playthrough I do intend to go back to play it again at some point. Gameplay -9- It's still super fun to play with all the running around and combat which is easy to pull off with no barrier. The music is just fine and nothing extraordinary besides visiting the trader and at the end of a chapter. That's not to say it is bad at all though. ![]() Sound -8- Good voice acting but I do miss some of the previous actors. Graphics -9- Very good generally with nice lighting and is only spoiled by pop in which features in certain areas and I noticed it in the island section particularly. I don't think that there is anything new in terms of weapons and the Killer 7 from the original is in the remake and the actual title of the gun is a reference to another Capcom game that was part of the four games that Capcom was originally making exclusive for the Gamecube back in the day. The treasure system has been updated and now allows more customisation in terms of what gems you match up with the trinkets that you have found within the game and I like the system. ![]() Some of the weapons feels punchier such as the shotgun which if an enemy gets close enough will blow limbs off in addition to exploding heads. Almost everything has been faithfully recreated from the chainsaw madman to the ordinary ganados whether they're throwing dynamite or an axe at you. There are not quick time events here but there are still button prompts that can catch you off guard with certain enemies. The remake plays like the other remakes and so doesn't really deviate from that. Lastly there is the villains such as Krauser, Sadler and Ramon where I think Krauser of the three has a little more depth in terms of his backstory. That's not say that it is bad and Ada still uses her sex appeal in a way that I would associate with her but it is toned down by comparison. Ada in the remake by contrast has been toned down and I miss Sally Cahill's voice in addition to how she looked in the original game. I think on the whole that there is much more depth here within some characters and I'd point out Ashley and Luis specifically where Ashley has gone from a ditsy ineffective girl to a stronger, useful, likeable and much more interesting character. This leads me into the story and how the characters are portrayed within the remake. The character models look great, although I don't like some of the models as much as previously such as Ada's example but it's not a complaint either. The village and the island look great also but it was the castle that particularly impressed with the graphical jump which makes it come to life all the more. The castle section of the game in particular is exquisitely and finely detailed from interiors to paintings and everything in between. The obvious jump between the two versions is in graphical quality and it really is quite impressive. Before playing the remake I did go back and play through the remaster and I will start the review by saying that for me this 2023 remake is not as good as the original but it is very good and I will go onto explain as to why. In the years since I have played the original Resident Evil 4 on various consoles including the Wii and on the Xbox One which is the 360 remaster. The original Resident Evil 4 from 2005 and its glorious Gamecube release is not only my favourite in the series but it is also in my top ten in terms of my favourite games that I have ever played.
