U doing okay there, buddy?
OT:
If they either allow me to turn off the shine or tone it down themselves, I'm all for it.
Could be a bit brighter, but one can always change the brightness settings.
Besides those little nitpicks, it looks great, and I cannot wait to re-play this.

The remake looks boring
The original still looks good, this remake might destroy everything we loved about the original

You didn't play the original

I did, and it was a bad RE game even if a good action game. It lost the survival horror atmosphere, took out the zombies, and added anime that continued in RE5 and then culminated into the abomination that is RE6. This remake looks like a proper RE game.

The anime stuff started in Code Veronica. RE4 is more like a playable 80's action movie.

Yep. It certainly moved the series away from the core appeal of survival horror, in order to comfortably ride the coattails of the more popular action genre. It's arguably thanks to 4, we got the abomination that was 8.
They are kind of similar, anyway.

Even if these things are true now, it is still a ridiculous comparison to make. When RE4 first came out it was bar none one of the best looking games in all of gaming, it had fantastic atmosphere and a revolutionary control system that shaped the way we play third person games even to this day. RE4R has none of that.

Yeah, the intro alone was pure anime action-fest. I remember watching the scene with Claire and the helicopter and I was like, 'what the fuck? This isn't what RE is supposed to be'.
Whether I like it or not, it has become part of the IP now. Thankfully they toned it down, but now that they've reached the RE4 era, it could very well come back - *shivers*

Just played through the original twice (normal and pro) - there is a lot they could do better in the remake. The original will always be a classic, and the remake will never top it, but the remake could be VERY good. Recall that when the original came out, doing things like climbing up and tossing down ladders and barricading doors was original and incredibly interesting. Nothing can take away that originality, and capcom wont be able to be that original this time.
What they can do is make a really good game that has bits of extra content and works out some of the rough edges of the original. If they give us more Luis in return for the ballistics they stole from us, all will be well.

Nah, the goal of this remake is to improve in the original. The same way Demon's Souls remake did. It looks like they accomplished that goal.
Which means that this thing can't be criticized for shitting on what made the original great to this day.

The new RE4 trailer looks cheesy. Luis riding in a coal cart with Leon, and shit.

So they're adding in the Mercenaries. I hope they don't forget about Separate Ways. But of course, it won't feel the same without Ada's iconic red dress. 
Capcom, why'd you change things up?

So ...there's no chance they'll fix the rain is there? How can they be so good at visuals but then both something like rain? I don't get it. R2r2 remake had the worst color grading ever in the RCPD building, yet otherwise had some of the best visuals at the time.
Stuff like this ruins those game segments for me. It's like..getting bronze medal at the Olympics. So close but not good enough.

True and ironically the original did most of these things better for the time period than the remake is doing today. Remake isn't even one of the best games graphically today. Not that it looks bad. It looks nice but Re4 at the time was the best looking console game. Hmm .. they should've probably aimed a little higher graphically with this considering we're 2.5 years into "next gen" and it's a remake. See Demon's Souls remake was amazing looking at the time. Re2/3 were pretty damn impressive. Re4 remake looks about the same as re2/3 when they came out except they released without the benefit of next gen consoles.
Last 3 remakes have been a little underwhelming graphically for being on next gen hardware imo - lou1 remake, Dead space and this. They're all really good looking tho but come on devs, you have so much more power to work with let's step it up!

I've seen a lot of RE stuff on there.
Don't worry, PC modders will save the day. Same with adding real ballistics. F-cup minimum.Damn about the skirt or ashley..
They censored it

Way too garish for me. A cross process crushed mannequin ride.
I'd want a remake of this remake.
It's a good job those guys did a faithful HD version of the original on PC.

What exactly from the original RE4 is being shat on here?

His design in the Remake is better. The fact that this fucker is 20 years old adds to the creepiness.

Oh no they turned the utterly ridiculous looking character into something utterly ridiculous.
What a dumb question. Changing everything people love about the original, from the art direction to gameplay mechanics to story and characters, while unnecessarily adding shit like stealth and parry. This is RE4 for people who hate RE4.

Good thing you can just play original RE4 thats available EVERYWHERE if you want exact same game.

Beethoven sure is looking good these days.
Why do people bring up this smartass shit every time people criticize this thing, like it's not allowed or something?

Because you bringing the same tired argument, Capcom or most devs for that matter not gonna put that much resource for Remake to make 1:1 exact game that’s already available everywhere, what would be the point of that?
ahem, Metroid Prime Remaster. Which everyone praises precisely because it's 1:1 to the orginal and doesn't change things for the sake of it. It respects the original vision. What's the point of a remake if you are not going to stick to the original vision that people loved while adding things no one wants? RE4 is a perfect game in the eyes of many, and fucking with it was never going to be well received by its actual fans. Especially because it's unnecessary and literally only exists for monetary reasons.

That game is remaster and not remake.
So basically from beginning you never going to be happy with remake no matter what they do because you think “unnecessary”.
Whatever, the point is Capcom could have done what Retro did with MPR and would be receiving praise instead of scorn.
Remaking a perfect game is pointless. Yes, I'm not happy with Capcom taking a classic like RE4 and "modernizing" it for money. It's tasteless. People don't like unecessary remakes. I'm sure you'll love the DLC they'll try to sell you.

Again remaster of the original game already exist almost everywhere, why would do that again?
Then it’s pointless for Capcom try to appeal to people like you because you never going to happy with it no matter what, so they figure you would just go play the original game that already available.

Yep here too. The OG version has this everything lit with white light look that makes it feel like just a regular location which serves to create an uncanny juxtaposition thats "creepy" considering whats happening in the game. Think Vader standing up in the regular looking dining room in cloud city creppy. Shits unique in feel.
Did you not get what I said? That RE4 doesn't NEED to get remade? That capcom could have simply left it alone instead?

In your opinion, not everyone is going agree with that. I personally LOVED original game and still highly looking forward to the remake.

It doesn't need to be remade , just like Re OG din't need a sequel, but people want it and will gladly buy it , just like i can't wait for Re4remake , looks fucking great! If it doesn't appeal to you don't buy and stop shitting on it.
That's great. If you don't like my opinions ignore them and don't quote me.

I beat RE4 two times in a row in the last month, and can confidently say that the remake will never beat it.
That being said, I am excited for it in it's own right, and think it is ridiculous to say it is destroying the original. The original still exists. This is not a physical object which can be modified irrevocably, nor will capcom be removing the original from storefronts. If anything, this may lead to more people playing the original, which is absolutely going to be better than the remake.
There is no way the remake can be as good. That doesnt mean it cant be good - I am sure it will be good in its own right - but nothing cranked out in the modern era can surpass one of the most influential games of all time.
Nu Ashely looks better, I will miss the ballistics and panty jokes, I am sad about less muscles. Tankier villagers, knife executions, and the weapon wheel is cool.

Haha, how rude.
The original RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time, as is REmake. This is basically RE4 getting the REmake treatment. Everything is in the game, but remixed and expanded as well as lots of new mechanics and surprises to keep the experience fresh.
To me, this is a pretty loyal remake. The art direction is new, but I'm fine with that since it looks so great so far. I think like the original RE1 and it's remake, RE4 and RE4R will compliment each other well.
I don't think fucking with an all time classic is nice or a required thing to do. It's especially jarring when you do it worse and add a dash of modern politics to it. If Hollywood tried remaking Back to the Future or Star Wars OT a lot of people would rake them over the coals for it and rightfully so. But I get that money is important to a business.
