The Resident Evil 4 remake goes above and beyond the call of duty, reimagining what a horror classic would look like through modern sensibilities.
Resident Evil 4 MSRP $59.99 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “Resident Evil 4 finally gets the remake it deserves: a total reimagining that's every bit as bold and unpredictable as the original.” Pros Cons Resident Evil 4 understands exactly what I want from a video game remake. When Dead Space got a redo earlier this year, I was left both impressed and underwhelmed in the same breath.
The more I played, the more I came to realize how modern games would not be where they are today without the original. In 2005, the action-heavy gameplay was a massive departure from the slow-paced survival horror of the Resident Evil series. Now, it’s almost become a template for what an action-adventure game looks and feels like. That’s made even clearer by a modernized remake that feels more like the games it would eventually inspire.
As with any game that has so many strong feelings attached to it, I imagine that the remake’s sometimes drastic changes will be a point of debate. Some may feel a little disappointed that it trades in a bit of its cartoon charm for more modern AAA sensibilities. It’s still delightfully weird, but it’s less Scooby-Doo and more Hollywood blockbuster this time around. Having played it all the way through, that instinct seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Just as the original did in 2005, the new version of Resident Evil 4 once again delivers top-of-the-line action relative to its era. That approach can fight against the original game’s ideas just a touch. While escort sections where Leon needs to protect Ashley have been improved thanks to better AI, they can still be a hassle. With faster gameplay, it’s even easier to accidentally shoot her as she gets stuck in the middle of a busy fight. I got a fair amount of Game Overs from a stray bullet grazing her leg or a villager walking off with her because I was too preoccupied with a wave of attacking enemies.
