Added fog and darker lighting give the game more of a straight-up horror feel. The remake is substantially bigger, stitching together a world that feels more connected and organic. When the original Resident Evil 4 released, games didn't feel anywhere near as padded as they do today. I worried the remake would dilute that delicate alchemy. The game bursts with inventive ideas, enemies, and scenarios, and rolls them out relentlessly over roughly 15 hours. The magic of the original Resident Evil 4 lies in its pacing. Despite his new emo look, Leon certainly feels more like an outrageous action hero than ever before. Using a knife to deflect the same chainsaw that lopped my head off in 2005 looks and feels ridiculous, just as it should. Leon does get a new parry mechanic to even the odds, which allows you to block almost any attack with a well-timed button press. There are brand new enemies this time around, while some others get a complete makeover. While that limitation never bothered me, it's become a sticking point for new players. But unlike those games, Leon can't move while aiming. Back in 2005, it popularized the over-the-shoulder perspective later seen in classics like Gears of War and Dead Space. It was clear a Resident Evil 4 remake would modernize the original game's revolutionary (but now dated) control scheme. They've succeeded not by playing it safe, but by taking big design swings that make it feel like a brand new game. Resident Evil 4 is a victory lap for what has been called the new "golden age" of Capcom. So this remake had to do the impossible: please fans of one of the most celebrated games of all time, while standing on its own merits.įor the most part, it does just that. How? And more importantly, why? Resident Evil 4 still plays like a dream, has many good ports, and even recently got an HD makeover by way of a brilliantly realized fan project. But when it was announced last year, I was skeptical. We all knew a Resident Evil 4 remake was on the table. In the last few years, Capcom remade both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, the former to great acclaim.
