I’m completely against a RE4 Remake. The game still holds up, it’ll look prettier and maybe some changed story elements, but it ain’t a whole lot more they can do
Time would’ve been better spent updating titles that actually need it. And I’m kind remake’d out anyway, new IPs or games, please
They better not remove WHAT ARE YA BUYIN’ and WHAT ARE YA SELLIN’ from the remake or we riot
Havent gotten to play it yet, but RE3 not having it’s Mercs Mode is a pretty big disappointment.
Looks at REmake.
What.
Looks at RE4.
What.
Bruh, ok, first things first.
Besides graphics, and we know you can make RE4 hella crispy as evidenced below, what is there to update in RE4?
Now look back at REmake and those bullshit fixed camera nonsense. That is not a modern look.
Like, you can only remake games a couple times before they turn into REEEEEmakes, but RE1 definitely would benefit more from a RE Engine Remake than RE4 and Code Veronica, while needing a whole ass Extreme Makeover, also would benefit more from it.
Hell, RE0 was on the line too. RE4 just big dicked its way through it because we all know it’ll sell like hotcakes, but that game does not need a remake.
TL;DR: Dude, you’re fuckin’ trippin. 
Never got SRK’s fascination with RE3 as opposed to CV. 3 was a consolation prize, CV actually moved the narrative forward. Im not buying RE3 til its like $15, it’s glorified DLC🤷🏾♂️
See, this is something I don’t agree with.
Sure, it doesn’t hold up compared to RE2, but a lot of stuff in that game was new. It’s just not fair to relegate it to DLC status.
Edit:
Code Veronica was booty butt cheeks. That’s probably why.
Like, shiiiiiet, that game had so much against it. Mainly Steve. Incest kids ain’t as cool as Nemesis either.
It added a random dodge mechanic, and a couple chances to choose a different routes, that’s all it did.
RE3 did almost nothing for the series, sayin CV is ass is personal preference, but shit actually happened in that game.
Sony bitched to Capcom so they gave them Nemesis to shut them up, only reason why it exists
Riiiight. So Raccoon City getting nuked (kind of a big deal when you consider the political consequences) and directly leading to Umbrella’s end was “nothing.”
What exactly am I tripping about…?
RE1 Remake will always be a good looking game, I really don’t care how you feel about the fixed camera angles. It’s a phenomenal remake and I have no desire to see it in the third person angle personally. The camera angles in the first game are done so well, especially with the Mansion setting, that I really can’t fathom anyone arguing it actually hurts the game considering it was a format that set standards for the franchise for years, and standards for video games to come after it, period.
I never implied Resident Evil 4 needed a Remake, so I’m really not sure why you’re trying to force this argument out of me. It’s getting remade though, so yeah, why not. I’m not gonna get all sad about it. I’m excited to see what they do with it, and I’m excited to have the first 4 games with more modernized graphics.
To imply RE1’s Remake doesn’t look good by modern standards just because you personally don’t like fixed camera angles is baffling logic to me.
To be fair, nothing of real canonical significance happens in Nemesis. Racoon City got blown up at the end of 2, so I’d hardly argue that makes RE3’s narrative important somehow in the grand scheme of the franchise.
Beat me to it. Yep, all we learned was that Jill was there too, that’s it. Could’ve had that info in a file during the next game
The key point here is the look. REmake may look good and even still be a fantastic game, but it doesn’t look modern.
Meanwhile, RE4, already looks and plays like a modern game. It doesn’t need a remake for that.
There’s a reason why I bolded this:
I’m not saying you said that RE4 needed a remake, I’m saying that RE4 already has a modern look.
Sorry for the confusion.
That shows up in the OG2?
My bad, guess RE3 really is more of a spinoff in the long run.
RE3 did a lot for the series in terms of gameplay. Introduced the 180 degree turn, not needing to press a button to move around stairs, crafting, Mercenaries. It did more than CV in that respect.
Raccoon didn’t blow up in 2. Raccoon being nuked was all 3.
Guess I’m wrong on the nuke being in RE2, still doesn’t change my stance on the narrative value of RE3 tho. So I’ll concede on the gameplay aspect
Eh, I think RE4 holds up graphically, but I wouldn’t exactly call it modern. I think the rough edges are easier to see and you can clearly tell it released in 2004. Whereas, with the RE1 Remake, it looks so stylized and consistent in its details that I think you could mistake it for a modern indie or something like that.
But, it’s really a matter of opinion. I love the camera angles in the first game simply as an artistic choice that gives the game a lot of style and individuality. We all know those camera angles were there mostly because of the limitations of the hardware, yes. But I find them especially endearing in the first game, and I will always argue the game has a very timeless look to it despite having a fixed perspective.
RE3 does have narrative value. Jill being injected with the t-virus vaccine is how Wesker developed Ouroboros.
Oh, you right, for some reason I remember the Nuke being a thing at the end of 2 as well but that game just ends with Leon and Claire escaping.
That’s really all the significance 3’s narrative has tho in the overall plot. Jill getting infected and tying that into 5’s story kind of seems like an afterthought on the writer’s part, but that is important as well I suppose.
I don’t think it’s an afterthought. It gives Wesker a reason to not kill her outright. Having value as a lab rat saved her life.
