Topic: Resident Evil 4 Remake (PS5 / PS4)

Right so first I was not so interested in this game but after having seen some footage I have become way more interested. That said I feel like I should play more games then Resident Evil hehe.

It feels like I will probably get it at some point in time (if not on the release day).

This RE4 demo makes my PRO sound like a jet taking off. The noise started while in settings and is intermittent through the demo, sometimes not too loud and sometimes jet engine again. RE2 and RE3 demos and games played quiet.

I only played once, death by chainsaw, because I was fearful of damaging my PRO. Maybe it needs a disassembled deep cleaning.

The demo, however noisy, looks and plays smooth in performance mode through my old 1080p tv. The amount of settings options is very welcome.

Got the game installed and ready to go and I’m not back at work until Monday!

This is the first Resident Evil game i have played and i am loving every minute, I am around 70% finished and will be gutted when its finally over.

@Max_Headroom Earlier in the year, I did a marathon remake run through 2, 3 and then 4. Its was a great time. Glad to hear you’re having a good time!

@Max_Headroom
Well I've not yet gotten around to starting it yet but if it's like any of the other RE games I've played it actually gets better (in my opinion) when you can start your second run with upgraded weapons and unlimited ammo... So it may not quite be over when it's over.

I am going to get RE Village next as the reviewers said it plays more like RE4 than the original games and its better for it.

I just found out that Resident Evil 4 has been released on iPhone, so I might have to give that a try on my 15 Pro Max.

@Jimmer-jammer How can you have a remake marathon without playing the remake of the first game?! I still consider it to be the best game in the series.

@Bentleyma Ha! I really do need to get around that. At one point I was looking at it and remember being somewhat confused by which version to buy and just never went back to figure it out.

@Jimmer-jammer Here! Now you have no excuse not to play the best Resident Evil game ever made!

@Bentleyma Thanks!!

I’m curious if I’ll like RE4 Remake if I didn’t care for the original. (Well, actually the PS4 remaster). I was surprised that I couldn’t stick with it and jumped off about 5 hours in. The controls were too frustrating and the gameplay didn’t quite click. I really loved RE1-RE3 remakes.

Is there anyone else who didn’t care for the original RE4 but played RE4 Remake anyways? How did it go for you?

@Th3solution I think there’s a good chance you’ll like it. If one of your issues were the controls then obviously they’ve been updated to be more inline with the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, which improves the gameplay. Being able to move and shoot also improves things.

Chances are slim, but if you happen to have an iPhone 15 then you can try the game for free.

@Th3solution There is also a demo available on PS5 I believe.

I did not like the original, tried the demo and still didn't like it. 🤷

@Bentleyma @JohnnyShoulder Can’t take advantage of the iPhone option, but I might look for that PS5 demo.

I think if the movement is more fluid, I can move and shoot at that same time, and switch weapons on the fly without going into a menus, then that’s a good start. Also, having difficulty options would have made a huge difference for me on the first game, as that could have negated some of my struggles. So, having all of the above might work out for me.

I’ll give it a whirl when time opens up. I’m not looking anytime soon, but it being on sale had me thinking about it. Thanks, compadres.

Now playing Resident Evil Village and loving it.
