And if so, why are you denying yourself to play through one of the best Action/Horror games ever made? Did people not play this classic, or have they forgotten about how good it actually is?

Not only does the game hold up, the remake is top notch at rebuilding the game from the ground up and is still an instant classic.

With a 93 ranking on Metacritic for the PS5 version, I can't help but wonder if people don't realize this is one of the greatest games ever made.

 

[F0rneus]

Because I am drunk and I need all my reflexes to be on point while playing it.

 

[R6Rider]

Sorry, enjoying PSVR2 too much.

Now if RE4 Remake was fully playable in VR, then that's another story.

 

[Generic]

Because the demo sucked. Damn RNG hit reaction, the original game didn't have such bullshit.

 

[adamsapple]

I am.

 

[Soltype]

Bought it on the series x, the controls feel funny, waiting for patch.

Like every other game I’m in no hurry. Playing some of my backlog games, and there’s never a need to drop $60-$70 on a game, when I’ve got a couple hundred others I’ve been wanting to play that cost far less.

Resident Evil 4 Remake isn’t going anywhere. It’ll be there when I’m ready.

 

[killatopak]

I do have it. Preordered the Deluxe edition even.

I really want to experience it the best way I can with proper headset or surround sound.

Have to take care of my infirm grandma. Monitor her all day until she’s asleep. I play in her room. I have to play with either no sound or just enough not to bother her. I can’t use headsets since I have to hear if she needs something or feeling something.

Best environment to play Elden Ring though. 100% calm. I would not want to shout with her around. She laughs when I fall down heights.

 

[kanjobazooie]

Already played the original a million times.

And I haven't played RE8 either.

 

[onnextflix5]

because the console ports suck ass, ps5 looks blurry as hell and the Xbox controls are fucked,

 

[megatronium]

I’m playing Elden Ring on PC and beat RE4 on GameCube already when it released. Next game for me is Starfield. I have kids and a demanding job so I have to be selective. Love that others are enjoying it!

 

[ViolentP]

Because I already played it years ago.

 

[touchfuzzy]

I don't really like games anymore whose primary way of engaging the player is through gun violence

 

[Azurro]

Because I was at work and my boss would be like "wtf?!" if I went home to play on my PS5.

 

[F31 Leopard]

Not a "must play right now" for me. I played RE4 GameCube to death. I did everything you could do in that game. I did 20+ rounds of new game plus on hardest difficulty, unlocked everything that you could e.g. weapons, costumes etc, 5 every character in Mercenaries mode, maxed out all weapons. I also have RE4 original on Wii, PS4, Switch. I'm working on a massive backlog. I'll pick up REm4ke after a price drop or an eventual "gold" super ultra hyper edition comes out Also Atelier Ryza 3 is more important.

 

[Dick Jones]

I'm making use of the PSVR2 and also tapping away at Syphon Filter Dark Mirror. Busy the last while so prioritising my playtime. Slightly thinking of waiting for RE4 in VR. Village in VR2 is chef's kiss.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Because I got it and am in the "why those damns zombies don't die in 1 or 2 headshots in hardcore mode? It wasn't like that in my memories!" phase. Will try again now to see if it is still there.
Edit: it is.

 

[AV]

Because I beat it last night.

 

[GametimeUK]

Because I beat it last night.

Keep that information to yourself, you sick fuck.

 

[ReBurn]

I don't really care for survival horror games.

 

[Evolved1]

Controls were abysmal in the demo.

 

[Punished Miku]

It's one of my favorite games of all time (the original). But honestly the demo didn't sell me on it at all.

• Demo: Controls felt off, but I'm sure you get used to it. I didn't like some of the graphical changes, but again, I'm sure it's fine when you play more.
• I loved REmake 2. I bought REmake 3 day 1 and actually still haven't played it. Bought RE8 day 1 and still haven't played it. In the meantime, I think every RE game has dropped to $10 or so, so I'm just going to wait for a price cut on this one.
• My backlog right now is morbidly obese, and I want to prioritize new games over remakes. If I played RE4 and Dead Space, I wouldn't have played Bayonetta 0 or Wanted: Dead. I'm happy with my choices.

I'll definitely play RE4 later this year, or next year when some time opens up.

 

[theStartupSound]

I’m not willing to pay full price for games, I will only play one or two times. This has nothing to do with RE’s quality, it’s just the genre. I give that much of money only to sandbox or racing games, which I will play endlessly.

Will be buying RE4 for sure, but not before next christmas or so (a good time for good sales) for 15 to 20 Euros.

 

[Mossybrew]

Can't right now, I'm at work.

Have been playing through since my daughter bought it I figure why not. It has its moments, but the genre is not my favorite.

 

[solidus12]

Waiting for it to arrive in l country. Was going to buy it digitally, but I prefer having the physical version instead.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

All of y'all trying to be cute by saying you already played it years ago, are fucking mental and not cute

 

[skyfall]

I don't pay for remakes

 

[STARSBarry]

Sorry I just really didn't like the remake, I felt like it was trying to be anti fun compared the original.

So many systems changed to be worse without being added to, why make the knife break? Why add insane sway and remove laser sights? As a few examples.

I thought Dead Space did a much better job, as did Metriod Prime.

 

[MMaRsu]

I don't really care for survival horror games.

To be honest this has barely no survival parts at all, and not so much horror either lol

 

[oji-san]

Price, I'll most definitely buy it but i'm in no rush, i think i will get it when it's $20 on PSN.

 

[jshackles]

Because I suck at this game. It never clicked with me - I bought and played it on the Gamecube and never made it far. I re-bought it on the PlayStation 2 because I thought maybe the 'cube's funky controller might have been the issue. Nope, still kicks my ass constantly.

I bought the "HD" version again on PC because I thought mouse+keyboard might be the answer. Turns out, I just really suck at this game. I die constantly, I'm always running out of ammo and save ribbons, and just in general get frustrated with my lack of progression. I played through (and loved) the first game, 5, 6, and both Revelations games and didn't have this same problem.

So I decided against the new version after playing the demo and experiencing that same frustration even in the demo. I don't know if it's an issue with my reflexes in general, or if I'm just not understanding the mechanics of the game at all - but everyone says this is a masterpiece while I meanwhile just struggle and don't have fun with it.

 

[H4ze]

How dare you! I am playing it right now!

 

[Ulysses 31]

Already played it on GameCube and Wii.

Will wait for sale on the gold version and buy it Village.

 

[Kacho]

Too busy with other games to play another remake. I’ll get around to it eventually.

 

[Mossybrew]

To be honest this has barely no survival parts at all, and not so much horror either lol

Yeah but it's definitely not a power fantasy action game either. Leon moves and aims slow, ammo is scarce, foes are plenty.

 

[Paltheos]

Same as allot of other people. I already played it. I my case, I've bought it twice - the Gamecube original and the Wii port with motion controls - and I've beaten it at least as many times. I have no desire to revisit it.

 

[Skifi28]

Waiting a couple of months for issues to be fixed, I want to enjoy it in all its glory.

 

[Kindela]

I'm scared of playing horror games. Is this scarier than TLOU? That's as scary as I can stomach.

 

[Robb]

I’m in no hurry, I’ll jump in when I have the time.

 

[Punished Miku]

I bought it on Gamecube, PS2, Wii, PS3, Switch. Seriously ....

 

[skyfall]

No. RE4 completely betrays the horror roots of the series, RE4 is an action game.

 

[Jesb]

Because I’m not spending almost $100 for one video game. This is 79.99 here.

 

[Impotaku]

Because I have a pile of games I recently bought that I want to play more. Already played the original on GameCube so I’m in no rush for this one but I will pick it up in a few months, will probably have halved in price by then.

 

[RoboFu]

It's old and I've played through it 3 times already.

 

[Rambone]

I played an hour or two of it but got distracted by other games like Shin Megami Tensei V that I've been playing non stop all week. I'm sure I'll get back to RE-RE-IV this weekend, we shall see.

 

[funkygunther]

I can wait for a sale

 

[Graciaus]

I've played it multiple times years ago. My backlog is massive and I don't care to rebuy or replay an old game.

 

[Spyxos]

I played it on the Wii and miss the aiming controls. I just liked that arcade aiming. I played the demo. I can wait until it's been heavily discounted.

 

[Topher]

I don't really care for survival horror games.

Same here

 

[MadchesterManc]

I was, but hasn't really clicked. To be fair it was the same with the previous Resi remakes
