So I have seen people on forums and YouTube saying that RE4 "doesn't need stealth mechanics" because the original (2005) release was primarily a shooter. While I generally agree, I also don't know what to say, because RE4 was never really a game I looked upon all that favourably anyway.
Basically, RE4 slaughtered everything that was good about RE games of the past. Essentially everything Capcom had put out up to the end of the PS2 era. To me, that's what defined the series overall. Period.
But RE4? My goodness. People just sing the praises of this title like it's nobody's business. The game had absolutely bugger all to do with Umbrella, zombies, Raccoon City and all that jazz. It was about you killing a lot of Spanish speaking villagers in Europe infected with parasites. Then they had these mutations you had to fight, and they didn't look indicative of RE style enemies any longer.
The adventure was a doddle to survive. All you had to do was mash buttons, and shoot everything. Sometimes, you had to outrun boulders or jump over platforms. For literally hours upon hours. Even people carrying farm tools without having any guns had the ability to drop ammo. It was also full of ridiculous mini bosses, like this little dude in a castle who has these two bug like bodyguards wearing suits, and they chase you around. It looked dumb, and nothing like old RE games.
It was a great game for what it was, sure. But it certainly wasn't much of a survival horror game. Put it that way.
But yeah. The remake looks great. One thing I have to squawk on about a bit is the RE Engine having these black spots where you can barely see anything. Old RE games had better lighting, yet some of those games are now well over 20 years old, to be honest.
LMAO. It's hilarious.
