This is the best video game remake since the 2002 Resident Evil.

It's not perfect. I got the infamous D3D crashes and had to turn off raytracing to fix and I also despise the generic crosshairs introduced with the RE2 Remake but I simply disable the HUD to remedy that. The laser aim was clearly not a design priority with the RE Engine because it just doesn't work the same way it did with the old MT Framework games.

In addition to turning off the HUD, as part of the graphics cleanup, you will want to turn off bloom, motion blur, lens lens distortion, anddepth of field. You want to also turn the FOV up to max and disable the camera wobble.

Those things aside, this remake is just so damn good. I can't stop playing it. I wasn't a huge fan of the RE2 Remake because it was too radically different but this remake is just different enough for it tomfeel completely fresh and still evoke the epicness that the original did.

Eh it's close but if we talking pure form remakes it's not touching Demon's Soul's remake now that is a true to form remake keep everything as close as possible while only just updating the engine.

Imo Re2r and this is more of a reimagining but that's does market as well as remake.

I just beat Del Lago and I'm loving this remake! I hated the demo as well!

I love old school tank controls and fixed camera resi and hated the 2 and 3 remakes because they turned them into third person shooters.

However, RE4 was always a third person shooter. I had my doubts after the demo but the full game has blown me away so far!

While Demons Souls looked amazing it didn’t change anything else, which is bad. The game itself still feels VERY outdated from a gameplay perspective.

Yes exactly that is what a remake is suppose to be you remake the original content...

You don't change it to fit the current times.

But why even remake it then if you can just remaster it instead? A remake is supposed to remake it, especially outdated mechanics.
Demons souls lacks in that regard. Visuals are amazing but the rest ain’t.

Good god, thank you! I have been saying this ever since it was released. Demon's Souls plays exactly like it did, making it extremely outdated compared to today.

And? What is your point?

I feel it has a few flaws, but so far I'm enjoying it... Just got done with the Verdugo boss fight.

Nah bro look at RE2r, it's called a remake but is it really? When you start to change the story the characters it is no longer a remake it is and I am talking in a literal sense a reimagining.

A true to form remake my examples are DSr and Shadow of the Colossus remake.

It's a remake just with modern standards in mind. Sure, they changed some things here and there but the overal game and story still are the same. Just with modern gameplay and all of that stuff.
Seriously, I love Demons Souls (and all the souls game) but the remake was very disappointing in that regard.

[Star Taker]

Its not a direct remake which is why i dont think its a good remake but its a good game on its own that coexists with the OG.

It can be disappointing or not maybe it's not what you wanted personally but you can't deny in it's truest form it is the purest form of a remake.

No. A remake, again, is a game entirely being remade. Demons Souls was not that. It was more of a remaster where they just updated the visuals and animations.
The pure gameplay aspect, everything of it, stayed the exact same and you can easily tell by how utterly clunky, slow and unresponsive it is.
You can play both side to side and will have the EXACT same experience.

RE4 has been re-released to death over the years and wouldn't be very appealing if it was just another re-release with just newer graphics

Even the remake of re1 changed quite abit, so did the MGS remake

I would agree that RE2R could be called a reimagining because they took it too far. Any gamer who really enjoyed RE2 would have prefered it to be remade like the 2002 RE1 Remake. Playing RE2 in 3rd person was fine but it wasn't RE2. There was no connection at all. It was RE2 in name only.

But with RE4, the connection is real. This remake even with the completely streamlined level design and the removal of the shakey laser aim still feels very much like RE4.
