Any other Resident Evil games like this?

[Mr. Mac with the cheese]

I think this is the best gameplay style from a RE game i've played, the only problems with this game is it isn't that scary (besides some cheap jumpscare enemy placements). any other RE game that improves on the horror but keeps the similar gameplay?

[los_tomatos]

Sorry to tell you, but the answer is no. The only 2 RE games that iterate on this style of gameplay are even less scary than this one, and from there it's an entirely different style of gameplay.

EDIT: To add, if we're talking about spinoffs like the Revelations games, their gameplay suffers compared to the mainline titles and they also aren't much scarier. If you really, really like RE4 your best bet is to try RE5 and RE6 without any pretence of horror and see if you can just enjoy the action.

I would say the closest you'll get would be the Revelations and Resident Evil 5.
I loved The Revelations, mostly 2 over 1. Could always refund any you try before you reach 2 hours!

I despise RE6 and it'll go down as the worst RE in my opinion.
However, that's just my opinion. I'd recommend watching trailers or even some gameplay and see which you may enjoy most.

RE2 Original, RE3 Original, Code Veronica X, 0.

All of them play like this. Although none of them go for the same tone as 1R, or even each other.

wouldn't those play similar to RE1? However i might try the original RE3 since it has uncut content, and it isn't really that long. (also heard nemesis is better)

What is it that makes you consider it "the best gameplay"?

Do you love the camera and controls? the action set pieces with tons of enemies to kill? the kind of enemies you fight? the weapon shop/upgrading system? the way you manage items, collect treasures, etc.?

Depending on that, you'll have different options. Each RE game does some things differently and would be more or less suitable depending on what features you enjoy or are looking for. Closest to RE4 would be either RE5, Revelations, or Village, for different reasons.

I like everything else in the game but the reason i think its the best is because the camera and controls. also leon flirting is funny

RE4 is a turning point in the style of the series so the first several games are all going to be similar, but different. The closest game that I think you might be looking for will be Dead Aim. Dead Aim is VERY short and tried to do a mix of third person and first person. It isn't as bad as some people say it is. I actually liked it and played through it about three or four times. Give it a shot. You might like it.

Probably Revelations then. 4, 5 and Revelations have the same camera and very similar controls. 5 is closer in its gunplay and enemies, but it's even less horror-focused than 4. Rev is a bit more spooky and less actiony (except for the side-chapters you play as other characters) and controls like 4 and 5, but you can walk while aiming.

First time I played re 4 at age of 15 I remember all the encounters with chainsaw heart popping all the time.One day I go with my father cut some wood and when I didn’t look at him he run a chainsaw and I just jump and start laughing to myself:) Regenerators was my nemesis too I always play just a one hour and take a break coz it was stressful. I think It’s just at some moment hard to be scare in video games when you finish many of them and when you older you just look on everything different.I recommend to play Soma great story and good horror :) You should love Dead Space and The Evil Within trust me :)

TEW is a lot of fun, but the PC port is pretty bad and to top it off the Steam version is easily the worst one.
You might want to look into the other stores' versions. It's on both Game Pass and the Win Store I believe. Get the Win Store version if you want all content, the enhanced features and have a better out-of-box experience.
Also, you might want to avoid higher frame rates. At 60fps it's still playable, but 120+ the game will be very buggy and unfair. I am not sure if the frame rate issues were fixed in the re-releases.

I was playing steam version and ps4 didn’t notice nothing bad with both back in the days, if I remember correctly they patch many things like turning of black bars and some minor issues.

Not to argue, but everyone (who played) knows the Steam version is pretty bad. The patch we got after launch barely did anything.
The game still has tons of issues from an unstable/laggy feeling frame rate to basic issues like launching with the screen zoomed into one of the corners. Mouse sensitivity is also horrible (for menus), which idk if that was ever fixed for the other versions.
You'll have to at least fix 1-2 things yourself, like setting a couple of console commands to try to improve the performance/stability and you might want to disable the rather ugly AO via the console too, which'll boost performance by quite a lot from what I've heard. I personally never disabled AO/whatever post-processing effect it is, can't quite remember the details. All I know is that there's an effect which hampers performance by quite a bit.

Then, the Steam version's not only missing the re-releases' new features like first person mode and the previously mentioned out-of-box experience issues, but you'll also miss several weapons unless you have a pre-order code lying around (online they're anywhere from 20 to 50+ bucks now). The pre-order bonus gave you a small survival set, which isn't needed at all, but it also gave you a double barrel shotgun (way better than the other shotgun, out of the gate anyway) and 2 special bolt types, both of which are actually very good. The shotgun and the bolts are only obtainable via that pre-order bonus. There's no alternative way of unlocking them.

The Steam version is the worst version for PC, and that sucks. Bethesda never bothered to bring the QoL fixes and new features to Steam. Not Tango, not Bethesda, not M$.
I own the Steam version too and I'll never re-purchase the game on another store, hence I am also stuck with this version and lacking a bunch of features. I own the pre-order bonus, but only because I bought it separately back in the day, for like $2.

If you believe I lied about anything, feel free to check the discussions for TEW, you'll see the same sentiments there. As a matter of fact, there's at least 1-2 posts per week that complain about the things mentioned above, the game launching with the screen zoomed in and such. The re-releases are way better and are mostly free of these issues. Even the EGS version has the bonus content, given you use your Bethesda login (isn't that defunct now?), which'll grant stuff like the first person mode. And the GOG version also, supposedly, has it. Idk if a login is required.

I really wanted to like this game back in the day, but the controls are so bad.
