RE2 Remake or RE4 Remake? What do you prefer?

[Hugobossman]

Didn't include RE3 as it felt more like a dlc for RE2. For me personally I prefer RE2. Both great remakes that I had a lot of fun with. So interested to see what RE Fans prefer out of the two.

The highs of 2 are higher, but 4 is way more consistent (and longer)

I liked the tension of 2. I liked having limited saves and tiny inventory and needing to decide whether or not a zombie was worth spending ammo on. I liked all the backtracking and constant feeling of danger. But most of that disappeared once you left the police station (~3-4 hours in), at which point it became a decent-but-not-stellar action game.

4 is just good from start to finish, and it's a lot better value for money. It's not really a survival horror game, just a third-person shooter with horror themes. It's not nearly as unique and innovative as RE1/2 were (and the remake managed to recapture that magic). But if you're looking for a Gears of War/Uncharted style game you can't go wrong there.

Honestly it felt like more care went into re2s remake. It could be rose tinted glasses but I felt the visuals in re2 were better as well.

I never did original RE2, so I can't compare it to its remake, but original RE4 was by far the best entry I've played.

With that said, RE2 remake felt more polished visually. It's been a while so maybe I just forgot or maybe standards weren't as high at the time, but I feel like RE4 remake is visually inferior. It's still the better game though. The combat and management are the best in the series, and while the police station part in RE2 is fine, the game dips afterwards. Most resident evil games actually follow this weird "let's just have the last part of the game in some kind of research center for no reason" and it's almost always the weakest section, I don't know why they stick with the formula

Thats a good point RE2 was the first use of RE Engine so its not as shiny these days but come on look at the village and number of enemies and varied levels and the hair oh my god its like everyone is wearing a fashionable couture hollywood wig, looks completely ridiculous and i absolutely love it! So cool.

Overall I would say RE4R.

RE2R is great, loved it and I would say I prefer my Resident Evil games to fit more alongside that one, give me more survival horror than action horror. That being said, RE4R just has a lot going on, a lot of variety, a lot of good gameplay and action, good, fun, story, and we'll be getting Mercenaries soon, so it's just a damn good game I want to keep coming back to play.

RE2 remake. The RE4 remake is solid but the game was recent enough that it didn't really need to be remade and I'm really not liking the writing in RE4R.

I also feel like RE4R is reeeeally demanding for the quality I've seen from it.

Resident Evil 4 is a 18 years old game buddy. You call that recent?

4 by far.

I really dislike stalker enemies in games, and I kinda hated Mr. X. The sewers were annoying. Not looking to replay 2 anytime soon, I think. Maybe to finally complete Claire B, but that's it.

4 though ? I finished it yesterday and I'm itching to replay it with me being used to the combat now, with a completely different set of weapons, on a higher difficulty, with costumes on and the OG soundtrack. There aren't any parts of it that are so annoying I dread replaying them.

I'd have to say it depends. I played Leon A, Leon B, Claire A, and Claire B on RE2R and had a blast. Obviously enough so to do all four back to back and then moved on to the 4th Survivor. However RE up until RE4 was just a running simulator with puzzles, something they kept in the remakes where fighting anything was pretty pointless and running simulator gameplay well... It gets old fast.

That's where it kind of depends because the enemies tanking a ton of damage in the RE2R and RE3R was shoe horned into RE4R for some reason. RE4R was the first game where we played a character who had prior experience with what was going on. He was in multiple outbreaks in both RE2 and Darkside Chronicles. Shooting some random villager in Spain with an entire clip of pistol bullets and them sometimes still surviving is like... Why? Why are they trying so hard to turn RE4R into another running simulator with puzzles?

So I'd have to say... In terms of the plot and nostalgia RE4R is great. HOWEVER... Since the remake is trying to make the RE4R into the RE2R I'd say RE2R is better. If the RE4R wants to be a running simulator like RE2R then they obviously didn't have anything new to bring to the table and thus the RE2R is the foundation that the RE4R is trying to stay afloat with.

If they embraced the fact this game was meant to be action based and not "run from every fight or die looking like an idiot with no ammo" it would easily be the best of the remakes.

4make, and it's not even close really. 2make was quite good though, but 4make did a better job at representing 4og than 2make did at representing 2og. and that's not* really surprising since obviously 4make went through a much lesser style change than 2make... but even considering that, capcom cut corners with 2make, even more corners with 3make, and almost none with 4make

RE5 cause these two are mid

RE2R didn't feel like the original to me. I think RE4R is better because it implements the source material from the original much better.

I loved RE2 remake but RE4 remake is even better imo. The gameplay is even more fun in RE4 and I like the setting and enemies more.

[iqspedition]

RE2 was better than RE4 by far, but RE4R is better than RE2R sadly
