Reminder that if you played any other version other then the original, NA GameCube release, you literally Did Not Beat The Game.

Got one of my zoomer former co-workers to play OG RE4, and he absolutely loved it. More than the remake as well. Sorry OP, but good games don't age.

>>737088203
>Games are not timeless.
They are. RE4 inspired several games that are nowadays considered great, and its dna will live forever in vidya. Unlike demake, which most likely won't influence anything since it did nothing new or unique. RE4 is one of the most important games of all time, regardless of how much you zoomies try to rewrite history.

>Games are not timeless
They literally are. The issue is that game design trends over time converge around patterns that are proven to have mass appeal, in order to target the widest possible audience. This usually entails 1) streamlining/dumbing down gameplay systems 2) targeting realism both graphically and in gameplay feel. It's an algorithm that is continually being refined. What it means for the consumer is that games are largely homogenised and the last 5 shooters you played all feel pretty much the same. It feels unnatural to you to play something that is designed differently, it takes an effort you're not used to, and your brain explains that effort threshold away as "datedness" or "clunkiness" when really it's just...different.

Just because it has cinematic styling and lavish production and detail doesn't mean it's a movie. The gameplay density of encounters in the original is far higher than the remake which has way more cutscenes and way less interactivity during them

>>737108535

It isn't survival horror at all.
There is almost no resource management because you'll almost always have more than you need, and the avatar is much stronger than most mob enemies you fight.
There are probably more enemies to kill in the first area of RE4 than like all of RE1, lol.

It is a cinematic action game that looks and plays like a movie, and is usually credited as the game that kickstarted the whole trend across the medium.

You can't see behind Leon, because YOU CAN'T SEE BEHIND YOU.

Can you look behind you, right now? Or do you have to turn around to do that? Then after you've turned around, can you still look behind you again? Or would you have to turn around again to do it?

This is what children don't understand about Resident Evil 4. Not being able to see behind Leon was a fundamental design choice, not a limitation. IT CREATES TENSION. That's why everything is the way it is. There's a reason most horror games are all first person now. Wanna take a wild guess as to why?

They can cry about the sea of pretenders and slop all they want to, that's fine, most TPS games are indeed homogenized

That isn't Resident Evil 4's fault though, it's THAT good as a concept and simply hasn't been fundamentally improved. I mean just look at the remake. The official clone of RE4 that lacks half the soul was considered so good, zoomers shat their pants and think it's the greatest game of all time.

>>737108762
>though obviously the demake is like that because they saw it in RDR2, they didn't put any thought into game design when making that shit
Exactly. It's just a bunch of trend chasing decisions with no actual thought put into them.

>>737108962
>and helped push the entire industry into the rut of homogenized over-the-shoulder movie slop
The people making homogenized slop wouldn't be making good games if RE4 hadn't existed. They have no ideas or vision of their own, or are unable to pursue them if they do. They just copy whatever is popular at the time without thought and without passion or soul.
RE4 is a great game. You can't blame pioneers for all the brainless idiots that trail along in their wake.
But I agree that RE4 killed the series. It was a great entry that should have been a one-off before they went back to their roots, but unfortunately corporations are always going to chase the rising line on the chart.

RE always used mashing buttons or wiggling the stick to escape from danger so I have always viewed RE QTEs as the extension of that fundamental mechanic. It's not "good", but it does what it does. It's in everything and basically always has been. Putting a prompt on screen communicates what to do instantly. Nobody cares about the QTEs in RE9 or RE4R, despite them being almost identical to the QTEs in RE4, just because they don't happen in a cutscene. You do the wiggle the stick to escape grabs/mash the button, press buttons to parry/dodge the contextual attacks. It's the same shit

I think it's hilarious that the QTE parry and dodging is excused as not being a QTE in RE4 remake whenever there's an indicator that flashes on screen and in the bottom corner on the knife UI every single time. Just like kicking Novistadors out of the sky or dodging the Verdugo tail. Contextual actions are cool, and let you do great/dynamic things that can't be simply mapped onto the normal control scheme, and provide distinct rewards for the player. Rather than just spamming dodge, you can only dodge in the exact context with proper timing. You are rewarded with a cool flip animation. That's a QTE, just like the original

tldr; having an indicator to tell you when to press/mash a button to do a thing, in the right context, even during a cutscene, can be completely fine and in fact add to the experience (MGS4 microwave hallway)

>>737110365
The funniest part is, there is an invincibility dodge in Resident Evil 4 and you use it to dodge the Gigantes tree branch in the original, and your parry in the original was proper spacing/timing/hitstun registration that would interrupt the attack and send the enemy backwards or things like contextual kicks

The yellow paint was just the items glowing or having a blue/red/green handle. Everything the zoomers need was already always there.

RE4 (2005) has awful controls. I tried playing it years ago because everyone was saying what a masterpiece of a game it is. I booted it up and holy fuck this game is unplayable on keyboard. This wouldn't be too bad but it is unplayable on gamepad as well. You can not move while aiming, you can not even look around you while aiming. Normal games allow you to look pretty much full 360 around you but this game chose to have tiny window right in front of them where players can aim their gun. Long story short I got filtered within 1 hour.
While playing RE4 (which apparently has even worse controls according to you) I never had this issue. Yes there is pointless input delay when switching between forward and backward and it's altogether a downgrade from RE2 and RE3 but it's nowhere near as bad as RE4 (2005).

That game filtered me so fuckin hard. Might legit be the most challenging puzzle game on earth, barring some kaizo meme shit.

massive 'do i /v/it in yet?' vibes from these top9 lists

How are you so retarded that you grew up with Crash Bandicoot on PS1 but somehow didn't know that tank controls existed for over 20 years?

Why are broccoliheads so obsessed with games that came out before they were even born? When I was playing NES/SNES as a kid I didn't give two shits about Atari/Pong consoles.

I am 36 and think that the gameplay is a huge improvement in re4make.

Yeah no. If you're post is riddled with "uncs" you're baiting, and if you aren't it should be treated the same anyways.

What's confusing about it? No Crash game has tank controls and since then I played games exclusively on PC

That's my impression as well. The game may have been good for its time but the die hard fans who insist it's better than remake seem to be exclusively people who played it in their childhood either with friends or siblings and have fond memories associated with it. I'm convinced that a person who never played any RE title before, whether an unc or zoomie, tries RE4 og and RE4 remake back to back will prefer the remake. When you remove the childhood nostalgia glasses and judge the games purely on their merits the remake wins for 9 people out of 10

Someone should mod the Fortnite controls to the original RE4, I wonder how many zoomers would prefer it over the remake.
