I think it will compliment original RE4 rather than surpass or retire it. The campiness will be toned down and some of the more, er, 'dodgy' lines in the game might be cleaned up (" I see the President's equipped his daughter with ballistics, too " :lol: ) but i think it will stay pretty close to the OG in other ways.

Original is one my favourite games of all time (Wii version absolutely rules), so I'm hoping this keeps the chunky feel of the combat from the original while updating the pretty dated graphics.

Wonder how it will compare to the HD fan made remake which kept it as close to the original as possible

Am I right in just saying this is mainly just texture updates? So essentially an unofficial remaster.

The new game is going to be a fully rebuilt game, I imagine using the same engine as 2/3 with RE4 specific some tweaks.

Damn this looks good. I get the feeling it will complement the original rather than replace it.

Looks fantastic. I hope you can still suplex ganados on their heads and make them explode like watermelons :D

I dread to think how scary they’ll make regenerators in this game :nervous:

Original RE4 is like the only game I know where the escort section isn’t painful (would have been more fun if Ashley’s voice wasn’t so grating), so I hope the remake does the same.

Can’t wait to hear all kinds of variations of ‘LEON’ and ‘HELP’ all over again :annoyed:

She was a cnut and I thought it was easily the most annoying part of the game.

Looking forward to this. The Wii version was quality.

Looking forward to this. RE2 remake was one of my favourites on the ps4, though Nemesis had its moments it was, unfortunately, rather a tad underwhelming.
Graphically this looks superb, gameplay looks encouraging and hopefully the sound design, which will give the games texture, is just as impressive.

She was a ass, agree.
Hopefully they don't expand those moments in this remake, though I think they will.

I‘m sure that new knife parry mechanic is going to build towards Krauser in some way. Hopefully he can parry you too just to make more interesting.

I pre-ordered the deluxe edition as I wanted the original soundtrack. Really looking forward to this.

New trailer with Krauser, Mercenaries and Luis seemingly getting more screen time than the original :D

Well, I simply need to play this (looks too good not to). Which means I finally have to buy a feckin' PS5, I guess.

The original is one of the greatest games ever, in my opinion. Top 10 for me, easily.

And, for the record, I never understood the moaning about the escort parts: Ashley wasn't that annoying (and you could just stash her in a bin somewhere for the more difficult parts).

Agreed. Ironically it's probably what's keeping me from grabbing a PSVR2 now as I know I'll just be mainlining this when it's released. Pre-ordered from Base/Hit.

You can play it on a PS4 if you have one as it's not a PS5/current gen exclusive.
