This game is a remaster, not a remake
So i bought this game on console and played it a bit, i even watched some gameplays before buying it, im now in the 10th hour of my playthrough and i still havent found any of the significant ''new'' things they reportedly added. I mean, there are some new features here and there but they arent significant enough to make this game remake in my opinion.

Lets be real, im sorry to break this out to you but this game is a remaster at best. The upgraded visuals and animations look really cool but thats literally all there is to it. All mechanics still feel similar to the original RE4, they are still clunky and Leon still feels too slow, which usually causes me to die without getting a chance to escape enemies.

Not to mention the knife breaks too fast, literally whenever i craft one i dont feel like i will get good use out of it because of how fast it breaks. So the gameplay is still old and stale, just like it was in the original RE4. I honestly dont think this game is worth its price, i might try to refund it if my playthrough keeps being stale.

More of a remake than the last of us.

A remaster simply upscales the textures. This isnt that.

If chapter 4 wasnt different enough for you then i dont know what you were expecting

Obvious liar if the op genuinely even is playing the game to call it a remaster...

Don't be sorry for saying stuff that is straight up wrong.

By the very definition this game is a remake. Everything has been remade in a new engine. Animations, models, sounds, textures, level design etc.
Adding new stuff is not required but they did anyway including new weapons, new areas, new mechanics and a new boss battle.

I never refused that they added new stuff, im just saying that the things they added arent big enough for us to call this game a remake.

It's in the word, remasters "remasters". Remake "remakes". Not that hard to understand.

Just the ability to move and shoot at the same time would've been enough to call it a remake, lol.
Don't get why changing fundamental things of the game shouldn't be considered worthy of calling it remake.

You not understanding the difference between remaster and remake doesnt mean a game suddenly is a remaster and not a remake. The original already had a hd remaster btw if you want to understand what a remaster is

And you clearly do not understand what a remake is supposed to be.
The fact that they changed stuff at all is already more than they had to do.
The original game still has to be in here, otherwise why not just straight up make a new game?

The fact that they added this much is more than anyone could have ever asked for.

Moving while shooting is so slow, almost makes no difference.

Exactly. There is almost no difference and thats exactly my point. No need to act like features that are insignificant are significant.

All of the level design is still different, among many other things. I never said you were right about anything.

Anyone who has played this game at all knows this guy is full of BS. The game is completely rebuild from scratch which by very definition makes it a remake, many of the areas are also remixed.
