Resident Evil 4 is an upcoming survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. It is a remake of the 2005 game Resident Evil 4, scheduled for release on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on March 24, 2023, 18 years after its original release.

Players control US agent Leon S. Kennedy on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, daughter of the President of the United States, from a Spanish village dominated by Los Illuminados, a violent cult worshipping an ancient parasite.



 
Still a while away, but I am looking forward to it. Hopefully they will stop being stubborn and remake Code Veronica next. We really do not need to Resident Evil 5 or 6 remake!
 
Really hoping we get CV. I loved that one to bits.

Yeah. I wonder if there is some kind of petition out there we can sign. I see why they went with RE4 for now as that will sell a lot more, but surely Code Veronica won’t sell any less than Resident Evil 3 Remake.

Come to think about it, I guess it would cost a lot more to remake Code Veronica as that was quite a big game relatively speaking. And considering how lazy they were with Resident Evil 3 remake where instead of adding they cut things out, it probably does not bode well for us.
 
Meh, I hardly notice the difference. No game which implements has made me go wow!

Unpopular opinion. RT makes a very noticeable difference and RE 4 as much a good game it turned out to be absolutely was the downfall of the series ;)
 

Yep. Those were relatively crap. I still remember forcing myself to complete RE6. What a terrible game that was.

RE7 was refreshing after those two games, but I have yet to fancy replaying it due to the last third of the game being crap. Also Ethan…

I however never get bored of visit the originals and even the original remakes.

I would love for CAPCOM to make a new engine for PS5 gen consoles and remake RE1 remake. I would certainly get more fun out of that then something new in the franchise. But before that, let’s get Code Veronica please :D
 
Resident Evil Showcase 2022 Full Conference



Resident Evil 4 Remake is 'about the same' length as original. Apparently CAPCOM listened to fans after the **** up Resident Evil 3 remake.
 
I hope they don't remove too much, because the original was quite a long game, and received well, quite a task to re imagine it, RE 3 remake although i enjoyed my time with it, it was still a dissapointment, 2 many cut scenes and removed content, although this RE 4 footage does look good so far, i hope it turns out good !!!

Yeah, as much as I enjoyed RE 3 Remakes, it was by far the worst remake of the lot. Super lazy effort. Was essentially a cash grab.

I said this before, but all they had to do was keep everything that was in the original, add a bit more to it and make Nemesis pop out randomly. That would have made it much better and encouraged more playthroughs. Instead we got on the rails cutscene rubbish.
 
My main worry at the moment is that it's too similar to the OG. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a new game from the ground up. But we haven't seen anything new yet... I hope there are at least a few surprises!

They just need to look at the original remake. That’s how you make a remake. Keep everything and add a few things to it. Still annoyed at what they did with Resident Evil 3 Remake. Even Resident Evil 2 Remake to be honest. Could have been so much better and offered more replayabilty had they got it right.
 
Haha well remembered! Yeah a GPU fail and life got in the way… but I did get there:



Give me the RE4 super limited “comes with Leon’s jacket” edition :D

I actually looked at buying a replica of that once. Then realised I’d just look like a fat, bald Leon that had really let go :o :D

Haha. Nice review. I agree with it for the most part. Definitely agree that the game is not as good on the second replay. That baby bit is so creepy and as you say a chore.

Where does the game fit in your RE game line up? :)
 
Here is my current ranking. I added in bold where I am expecting Resident Evil 4 Remake to slot in :)

1- Resident Evil Remake
2- Resident Evil 2
3- Resident Evil: Code Veronica
4- Resident Evil 3
5- Resident Evil 2 Remake
6- Resident Evil 4 Remake
7- Resident Evil 0
8- Resident Evil Village
9- Resident Evil 3 Remake
10- Resident Evil 4
11- Resident Evil 7
12- Resident Evil 5
13- Resident Evil: Revelations
14- Resident Evil: Revelations 2
15- Resident Evil 6
 
There were some disasters in the RE series like 6, outbreaks, racoon city and the movies not too bad until you get to welcome to racoon city which was utterly terrible. I wish they would remake CV but though rumours and talk of it, like silent hill 1 they lost some of the source code so why did not remake it yet.

If it is a remake, why do they need the source code of the original? Should be made from scratch I would imagine?

I still hold a small hope they do it eventually. I certainly would much rather Code Veronica remake than a RE5 remake which does not need a remake in my opinion.

What I would like at this point is a Code Veronica remake followed by a remake of the original, or should I say a remake of the original remake on a brand new engine with graphics set to 11 :D
 
Hmm good question, without thinking about it too much (from best to worst):

Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil (Remake)

Resident Evil 7

Resident Evil 8: Village

Resident Evil 2 (Remake)

Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil Zero

Code Veronica

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 3

Resident Evil 3 (Remake)

Resident Evil 6

It’s hard to rank them as they are good for different reasons, which can simply be ‘gameplay’, ‘story (serious or cheesy)’, ‘atmosphere’, ‘how unnerving it is’, ‘humour’ etc. Or for one off reasons - I had a great time playing RE5 on co-op with my wife.

Re:make has a great atmosphere, Re7 is terrifying. Re:8 blends Re7 with Re4 fairly well. The original RE2 and Code Veronica are fun in their own way but also very dated, if you go back and play them. RE2 original is really short.

Overall though - I would say that RE4 is the best as a whole. The settings, treasure hunting, action, variety of environments and creepy sections make it the best ‘overall game’.

I rate it in terms of how much fun I have playing them and how often I revisit and play them again. That is partly why even Resident Evil 3 Remake is rated higher than RE4. Also I simply just enjoy the setting and story of the originals a lot more. RE4 just lost the plot when it comes to that.

At least we both agree RE6 was trash. Never felt the need to replay that game. I remember even on my first playthrough it felt like a damn chore, not a resident evil game.



Anyone start REverse? I tried it and it was not worth the wait thats for sure.

Did not even know it was out… Not surprised it’s crap. Not sure why CAPCOM ever bother with multiplayer. Waste of resources. Rather that budget be spent on the main game. They did the same with RE3 Remake. Very disappointing.
 
I last played it about 1-2 years ago using this. It actually used to be my number 1 game on the list but slipped up as I realised the original remake was better. I still get more fun playing it vs RE2 Remake and certainly more than RE Village :D

That said, valid points. But as I say Resident Evil has not been Resident Evil since they introduced RE4 and I just get a lot more fun out of the original experiences as to me that’s what an RE game is.
 
I was going to post this haha. The seamless hd project is great. They also have it for re3.

Yup and working on the original one too. Not played the original since I don’t even remember when. Basically the remake is better in every single way so I don’t see the point.
 
Resident evil remake, the HD remaster is one of my favourite ever games, such a classic horror experience with the classic fixed cameras and excellent soundtrack, shame as i don't think we will ever see a game in the series in this vein again

I am hoping we get a remake of it on something like UE 5 or if they make a next gen RE engine or something. I would want graphics set to 11 if it ever happened :)

As long as they did not try and change it much and kept it the same and just added a little with up to date graphics I think it would be great.

I always imagined how a pre rendered background game made today would look. I think it would look awesome personally. Imagine all the pixels being left for the zombies. Would be awesome. But I k ow that will not be happening.
 
Thought I’d continue the endless ranking discussions with my latest antics :D

Keep it coming. Never gets old for me :D


REmake (for the millionth time) - I think I’m probably ‘done’ with this game now. The best sections are the sections within the main mansion and I don’t tend to enjoy the rest so much now… I’m ‘going through the motions’. It’s not bad, it’s just ‘done to death’ for me.

It will never get old for me. Just means one needs to leave a longer gap before playing. The gap for me is anywhere between 2-5 years.

I know what you mean, the mantion bits in resi games are usually the best. Goes down hill after. Though I am fine with it in REmake.


Code Veronica - some epic music in this one. Played with my wife, she decided where I would go, my ammo etc and I’d play :D was good fun, I’d bump this up above zero now. There are some unforgiving design choices (ridiculous bullet sponge Tyrant, wrecking many play throughs across the world) and the moth corridor, which are manageable when you’re a gaming warlord like me, and that Chris section in the base is soooo tedious with the blocked off routes. Has some of the best bits in the series but a little janky in those regards. Oh and that ‘cross dressing freak’ line drew a gasp from my wife :o

Haha. I did that with my partner like 15 years ago as she would penic and mess it up when playing so I would get her to tell me what to do.

Love Code Veronica. Really hope they do a remake, but not holding my breath. Maybe they afraid about the cross dressing dude. Bet that line would be gone for sure. Lol



Village: Shadows of Rose - Resident Evil meets The Evil Within! It did reuse lots of environments rather than add new ones, but I thought this was great. Rose was a brilliant character, well voice acted and the use of the special powers was neat. Some of it was extremely creepy. Well worth a play through if you are willing to be open with its ‘dream world’ like environment. @TNA you played this one?

Not a fan of Resident Evil DLC to be honest. I mean not a fan of Ethan or that story line anyway so was never going to buy it. Who knows maybe one day I get it for a few quid :p

Looking forward to RE4 Remake. Hoping to grab it sub £30. But so far no luck. I feel £25 would be fair as it is not my favourite Resi.

I would pay £50 for a Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake though :D
