Play RE4 after Rev2 and tell me the controls don't need an update.

shaun mcwayne2275d ago

Yep controls need an update. Unless your still rockin the wii version.

bishup252275d ago (Edited 2275d ago )

the content is much different in Re4.
no longer sporting zombies and the introduction of grenades and faster weapons.
Re4 was not the inspiration to the horror genre but mostly to many action titles.
If anything a Re4 remake will feel a whole lot more familiar to the games we're already been playing the past 2 generations.

nix2275d ago

Yeah... The controls. It felt like driving a tank.

roadkillers2275d ago

Yeah, we need an remake in 5-10 years. RE4 took around 5 years to develop after RE3.

SyntheticForm2275d ago

The controls in RE4 feel like you're driving a tank in reverse while missing three wheels and the tracks missing.

bouzebbal2275d ago

Just play re5 if you want.. The downfall of this series started with this one.. I absolutely hated it when it came out. It was highly overhyped after great 1 and zero on gamecube but it had nothing of re

JonTheGod2275d ago

You can fix that with a patch.

Army_of_Darkness2275d ago

I'd love to reply re4 with upgraded graphics and controls! I'm sure it would look f#@king amazing! Just look at re2 remake.

Segata2275d ago

Just add motion aiming and fixed. Wii version had the best controls.

the game that inspired many shooters. love Re4 or hate Re4 it became the industry standard.
I definitely would pick up the remake. but i'm expecting it to play like most 3rd person games.

neutralgamer19922275d ago

Yes a complete remake on RE engine for current and next Gen consoles. RE4 remake with up to date controls and other improvements

D__RAiL2275d ago

Resident evil 4 needs a total reboot ....aka just keep the protagonist (Leon), the 3rd person view and the europe setting and change everything else -->the fast action , the QTE, the melee moves, the presidents daughter, the cult , the las plaguas , the BS atmosphere, the colors, the lighting , the BS giants, the childish uniinspired bosses , the goonies kid , etcetce almost everyhting and make it from the start..... at least to resemble a Resident Evil game like RE 2 Remake ....RE4 was the downfall of RE series that led indirectly to the absolute garbage sht RE7

ocelot072275d ago

Agreed if they they where to remake resident evil 4. Change the story up so it lines up with what happened with Resident Evil 1-3. Resident Evil 4 was the start that changed Resident Evil for the worst.

I agree RE4 led to shit but RE7 brought it back to survival horror. Been playing RE games since 96 and I thought RE7 was amazing!

Lon3wolf2275d ago

Agreed 7 was great (also played since the original days), I was not keen on 4 and above until 7.

NukeDaHippies2275d ago (Edited 2275d ago )

Everything you said about RE 4 is great, not bad. And I thought RE 7 was pretty good. Judging how RE 2 came out, I'd say it's in large part to 7.

Uninspired boss fights? Compared to what? a big snake?? RE 4 had the best boss fights in there series period.

AdmGenAladeen2275d ago

Wiser words have never been spoken! RE4 was the start of the RE series demise. If you wanna play RE4 updated, just got watch any Expendables movie and pretend the enemies are that stupid cult.

froy4022275d ago

Agreed on everything you said except for

(...RE4 was the downfall of RE series that led indirectly to the absolute garbage sht RE7)

Resident evil 7 was great and a fresh return to its survival horror roots unlike resident 4 which was more action based, more like resident evil 4 led to re5 re6 survival action games

Nope

Just remake Code Veronica and call it Resident Evil 4 with Leon instead of Chris

Another Leon and Claire game in an even numbered Resident Evil game. Job done.

If they have a chance to change things so the plagas don't appear in it then I want them to take it, no plagas means no infected with guns, no Uroboros, no Wesker dying in a Volcano with steroid Chris punching a boulder along with the lack of Jill or the rest of STARS to take him down and Resident Evil 6 doesn't happen at all.

I love Resident Evil 4 but the plagas started a chain of events in future games, and I don't want them to repeat it.

KaaF2275d ago

What the hell are you blathering about?!

-Foxtrot2275d ago

Really? You picked me to say this to

You did see naruga’s comment above right...

Hardiman2275d ago

I'm with ya Fox. Been a RE fan since 96 and have played every mainline title and RE4 was awesome the thing is it led to 5&6. It did more for action titles than horror.

What I and many want is Code Veronica being remade. It was incredible in 2000. After playing RE games on PS1 it was mind blowing!

Remake 4 later if they must but make it more scary than action.

nucky642275d ago

you really make sense with that - it'll never happen but it makes sense.

Chard2275d ago

Or just remake Code Veronica and call it Code Veronica. Jesus

xxShadow-Shockxx2275d ago

I agree with you, I don't think they should change up Code Veronica though, remake it but leave the game how it is and then remake and make the necessary changes to RE4. Capcom has a good opportunity to fix the mess they created, I've been playing RE since the 1st and the story and gameplay of the future RE's became something that was no longer RE starting with RE4, RE4 was a great game but it just wasn't Resident Evil. I just want Capcom to see how well RE2 remake was, and to see how well received RE2 and RE3 have been and use that going forward and fix the remainder of this series and get it back on track.

Hardiman2275d ago

Like how you think and I don't think RECV should be called RE4. It should be RECV.

The only way I want RE4 remade if it is tweeked more towards survival horror. It wouldn't be difficult to do this. They have the template they used for RE2 and the upcoming RE3.

I think RE4 has aged well enough. Just continuing to port it to systems is fine. CVX could use a remake though.

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken730d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS30d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS30d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis30d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.

You know I would have liked this if it was added on for free. A nice substitute for Assignment Ada.
