We always knew it would get good reviews. Hyped AAA games have to really suck to get less than 9s and 10s.

Yup. The difference is Naughty Dog could've and should've been able to do more with it based off their talents as well as having the jump from ps4 pro to ps5 to work with. Taken solely on each games merits like you said they're each doing things roughly as good as one another imo. It comes down to preference probably because the art styles are very different anyway. I'd personally say LoU1 is the better looking game, when both games are at their best ...on console anyway. LoU1 can look unbelievably stunning at times especially in its fidelity mode. Graphics scale a lot with resolution.

RE3R and RE8 both got sub 85 on MC. If RE4R was legit not good, it would've been scored appropriately.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Looks like Capcom are asking some of the video reviews which showed later areas to be taken down. Sphere Hunter's review is down.
They have a ridiculously strict policy for what can be shown for some reason.

The only thing Part 1 does better is the in-game animations and detail on the character model. Leon's kinda stiff during the animations in the game play, other than that RE4 remake looks better, IMO of course.

Someone needs to snitch already and tell us which areas they removed, just thinking about it is killing me inside, I can't believe Capcom did that shit again after the RE3 Remake.
I have 4 guesses, the garden labyrinth in the castle, the giant salazar statue room, the laser room on the island or the U3 boss fight.
The fact that Capcom told reviewers not to show late game is telling.

They removed these sections:
Trailer sequences of Ashley running through the Village alone at night.
- The U-3 Bossfight and area.
- No running from boulder sequences
- The Cable Cars are now merely scenery and not accessible
- Incendiary Grenades
- Island Laser Room
- Island Throne Room
- Verdugo #2 does not combine with Salazar and but is alive and absent for the rest of the game
- Separate Ways Campaign
- Assignment Ada Mode
- The U-3 Bossfight and area.
- No running from boulder sequences
- The Cable Cars are now merely scenery and not accessible
- Incendiary Grenades
- Island Laser Room
- Island Throne Room
- Verdugo #2 does not combine with Salazar and but is alive and absent for the rest of the game
- Separate Ways Campaign
- Assignment Ada Mode
Everything else is in the game, Salazar statue is altered slightly but still there, same with labyrinth.

Separate Ways is coming via paid DLC, sucks but better than nothing, I imagine all the cut content will be moved to her campaign.
I've seen a lot of reviews mention how outdated the og 4 is mainly because of its controls but I honestly have to disagree. I played the game for the first time last year and the control 'restrictions' are what actually made the game feel really fresh imo. The combat encounters were designed around the control limitations, and encouraged a strategic playstyle instead of a run and gun one. It also added a lot of tension and I think was actually part of why that game was so good, and still feels unique to this day. Pretty ironic since I really hate how the Ps1 RE games control and camera angles work, considering those things are widely known to be why those games were scary, popular, unique, as well, but yeah.

Neither one was as hyped and RE3R is half the length of the original.
10/10 remake, clearly. The new gold standard they say.

Have they added anything substantial to call it a remake besides the graphics
and UI?

The remake will be my first play through for the RE4 story. Very excited for it.

RE Village was hyped, but your argument is that it wasn't AS hyped as RE4R, so it doesn't count?
Ok how about Death Stranding, No Man's Sky, Final Fantasy XIII, Watch Dogs or Duke Nukem Forever, just to name a few? Especially Death Stranding and NMS. Very hyped games, scored below 85 on MC.
Now does that meet your criteria, or do you want to continue looking like a fool?

I tried the demo on my SD and I had artifacts and missing graphics around Leon. I had to adjust my settings. I’m looking forward to playing the final version on there.

for some reason I thought Lou part 1 was kinda a rush job and not done by like the core naughty dog team fully? That’s why I didn’t consider it to be a real next gen naughty dog game debut

I love RE4 to death but I usually lose steam around the Island. “More” is a vastly different metric from “better” and I’m 100% okay with them cutting some stuff. (RE3 was a different matter, since that was a much smaller game to begin with and they cut a much larger percentage of the game.)

RE3 had way more missing content.
RE3R is barely a Remake imo. When you look at REmake and RE2R, they basically took the areas and enemies and modernized them. Whereas RE3R, other than Jill and Nemesis, nothing about the areas are recognizable from the Original. It's like they made a completely different game, made it far shorter than the original, and called it a remake of RE3. It was 4 hours long and they charged $60. It was so shameful.

Just this? Amazing. Man, haven’t been this pumped for a game in years.
They meet my criteria. Those games are hyped and also heavily flawed. NMS was a total scam, for starters.
Really?
For once in this postmodern hellhole we all live in today a Remake that does it as it should, not only improving but adding a hole bunch of complex systems giving new depth to it's gameplay while making smart overhaul to it's narrative n this one you choose to shit on?
Out of all of it...this?
There are actually people who like latest Guardians of the Galaxy "game". Go there.

You gotta play Part 1 in 4K, not on some youtube video.
The colors, textures, density comes alive a lot more. Pristine image quality.
RE4R looked like a muddy mess to me, which I hope gets patched. Certainly felt like a PS4 game in comparison.

I did and my post even says I think it looks better than re4. Easily better when the game is really popping off. I also see subtle improvements over part 2

Those are some crazy scores! Demo had me lukewarm despite the original being one of my all-time faves, maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind. Not a fan of CAPCOM releasing these piece meal packages though, I want content for my money. It's nice that Mercs will be free in an upcoming update but by then I would have longed moved on from the game with very little chance of jumping back in. Ada should have been included from the start too.
I bought RE8 day 1 and overall finished it feeling kind of disappointed. LOVED RE7 and consider it one of the best in the series so it was all the more surprising that it's sequel didn't click in the same way. RE2R was fantastic but again, felt like a just should have waited for a sale, wanted more content, replaying to speed run etc has never really appealed to me. As for RE3R when I heard it was a 5 hour game I didn't even bother (yes, it can still be an *outstanding* 5 hours but it's not worth buying day 1, $60 is what I mean), if it's $10 on sale I'll check it out.
On the fence here. Still knee deep in Wo Long, Jedi Survivor looks tasty and another zombie slaying fest is just a month away with Dead Island 2, decisions decisions.

I find it very strange that a few people in this thread are making it their life's mission to go after this remake with everything in their power and use it as their main argument point as to why the game industry is in a bad place.
I mean you're telling me that out of all the terrible shit that goes on in this industry, the biggest problem right now is a very faithful, high effort remake that has been unanimously praised and even longtime fans who were skeptical of a remake like TheSphereHunter have praised the game as an IMPROVEMENT over the original game.
Just seems strange and all you're doing is showing your true colours of the fact that you were always gonna throw dirt on this game regardless of the outcome.

I love it when they say it's a 'soulless cash-grab' when you absolutely see how much care and love they put in the game and to the little details. Leon's handgun has 'Kendo' written on it. You don't do that when your game has no 'soul'.
I literally don't know why they do it. If RE4 was my favorite game I would be ECSTATIC to see it becoming prettier, more tense, with more options, more everything. I wouldn't be opposed to it at every second, every moment, nor would I insult its existence at every chance I get. Why are you opposed to better graphics? Better animations? Better character design? Better sound? Better gameplay? Better characterization? Why are you content with X/10 when you can have X+5/10? Why?
I can fully accept you saying that the original holds up even today. I can accept it's still playable and enjoyable. Why can't you accept your favorite game in an even better version? Why are you so opposed to it being improved? Why do you NOT want it to be even better?
Even if you think the remake may not look as good as other modern games (which I disagree, but it's your opinion), how can you think it doesn't look better than the original at least? Why this religious denial? Why do you refuse to accept that tank controls were made for a fixed camera gameplay (due to the constant camera angle changes) and they don't work as well in a shoulder-view shooter?
I mean, if I love the game, WHY on Earth wouldn't I want it to be even better? It's literally insane to me.
I love Demon's Souls and Dead Space. So their remakes improved upon the original in every way imaginable and now they're even BETTER games for me.
Honestly, I don't get it. I mean, sure, you do you, but ... I don't get it. At all.

I kinda like remakes
I mean, if we’re gonna get constant remakes of Hollywood movies (Total Recall, Cabin Fever, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Psycho, Planet of the Apes, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Fantastic Four, Footloose…etc), then I see no problem with game-remakes because in most cases the game remakes are better, and it’s pretty consistent that the movie-remakes are worse than the original

Anyone know if the game's Ultrawide support was improved in the full version? It looked great during gameplay but anytime control was taken away from Leon and a cutscene played out the game would plop big black bars on the sides of the screen. Its really unfortunate that I spent over a grand on a monitor and still have to deal with this kind of thing even in Triple A games.

Saw a lot of RE4 fanboys complaining. The whole castle area should have been remade. That was the most ridiculous part of the original game. But it looks like it has better atmosphere in the remake.

I will always stand beside the fact that true survival horror let's you run away from most fights. Games that lock you in rooms with enemies most of the time are survival action at best... Nevertheless, I enjoyed what I played in the demo and will buy it. As someone else said: knowing what to expect from the jump helps me accept the game for what it is.

Not to mention the release schedule for Resident Evil in the past few years has been objectively better than it used to be.
RE4 - 2005
RE5 - 2009
RE6 - 2012
As oppose to:
RE7 - 2017
RE2R - 2019
RE3R - 2020
RE8 - 2021
RE4R - 2023
People whining about Remakes for the franchise instead of a new game really need to stfu.

If you believe Sphere Hunter wouldn't say this shit is amazing regardless you're not very smart. She gave RE3 remake an 8/10 because she's sexually attracted to Jill Valentine when in reality that game was a 5/10 at most. The core mechanics were there but everything else... Wasn't. She regrets it now but I bought that game day one because she over sold it. Do not listen to her under any circumstance.
Also I'm buying this game day one even if I am shitting on it cuz if I don't you'll get "DID YOU EVEN PLAY THE GAME? XD" Gotta take the L and finish it to get my opinion validated, if it's good it's good if not? Wouldn't be the first time I've paid full price for a not great game.
You being a paladin for this game is kinda weird though also if you wanna take that stance.

I didn't declare TSH as the definitive source of whether RE4 Remake was great, I simply stated that she was someone who was going into this remake skeptical and came back glowing with praise, if she was the only one praising the game and everyone else was hating it sure you could claim a bias, but the praise is unanimous, with even the most negative reviews still being of the 7/10 variety. And for you to water down her opinion on RE3 remake to "huh duh she only likes it because she's got the hots for the female protagonist" is reductive at best and insulting at worst.
Pointing out that certain people are being childishly critical of a game they HAVEN'T played and in some cases being outright wrong with points like "the game has more cut content than RE3" doesn't make me anything other than someone stating an opinion on a gaming forum, I'm highly excited for the game don't get me wrong but if I end up not enjoying the game upon playing it I'll be honest and upfront about that just like I've always been.

I thought that RE3 remake was bunk. I think the same thing will happen if they remake Code Veronica (cut down Steve, ect). The real treasure and grand finale of this series will be Re Remake

Sharing a piece of fanart from someone in her community as part of an outro to her video is not what defines her opinion on a video game.
You were saying?
