I finally finished watching it

Question

I finally finished watching it

Here's the major points he makes (sans gameplay criticism because they require video evidence):

Backstory

Luis' grandfather died when bitten by a Plaga Colmillos... decades before the Plagas were unearthed.

Luis worked for Umbrella in the division that created Nemesis... years after the development of Nemesis took place

Ramon is cured of his disease by the Plagas... years before the Plagas were unearthed

In the OG the only dominant Plaga was for Saddler, but here they add the Superior Species which is mass produced for every boss that transforms, which contradicts Damnation which says it's the first time someone managed to mass duplicate Plagas.

The file that explains the creation of the Superior Species Plaga says they just got Ashley and are going to use it on her, so it would seem that all the bosses in the game had 1-2 days to learn how to use their virus? Especially if Ashley had to drink the liquid and be in a coma for several hours for the Plaga to develop, and they all had to do the same thing.

Wesker is already commanding Tricell, so this timeline doesn't include the Rival Organization and creates continuity errors with RE1 and Umbrella Chronicles.

Krauser never met Wesker and works for Saddler unironically, so it isn't explained how he found out about a secret cult in Spain or why he is angry with Leon if Operation Javier had Krauser as the sole survivor, i.e. Leon did not participate. That Krauser was the sole survivor and became a fugitive from the government also makes it unclear how he escaped from South America to begin with.

The new Operation Javier didn't involve BOWs, which makes it impossible for the The Family in RE6 to get the Veronica Virus after Operation Javier.

1/13

Krauser's motivations are that he wants to break the cycle of “soldiers being pawns”, and he does this by becoming a pawn of Saddler (in the Remake he has no plans to betray him) and by taking the Superior Species Plaga which according to files, causes scientists like Anabelle to remain intelligent but without a will of their own, with all their desires originating from what Saddler would want.

Wesker already attempting to create Uroboros in the final cutscene creates a continuity error because he doesn't come up with the Uroboros plan until he finds Spencer, which is why the OG RE4 mentions Wesker and Krauser are working to create a new Umbrella PMC. If they aren't doing this in 2004, the appearance of Umbrella Blue and the Albert-01 gun in Resident Evil VII comes out of nowhere

Village

The girl sacrificed in the opening cutscene is never identified and the reason for her sacrifice is never explained. The file Iluminados 4:3 speaks of a vague "judgement" given to outsiders, and there's also mention of regular animal sacrifices to keep the crops fruitful, but that only mentions animals. This gets no elaboration or clarification and ends up as unexplainable as the scene from the OG RE4 where Ganados attempt to sacrifice Ada (and that game had three weeks to be written). The addition of extra people who disappeared around the time of Ashley's kidnapping also raises the question of why local police didn't investigate the cases before Leon's arrival; also, it makes Leon look incompetent when he needs to be briefed about the extra disappearances on the intro's car ride, versus the OG which had Leon inform the police that the disappeared girl was the President's daughter back at the station or Darkside Chronicles where Leon was well aware that many girls had gone missing at the time of Operation Javier and took that into account when he descendend into South America.

2/12

In RE4 OG, Leon learns of Ashley's wereabouts in Spain because Ada leaked the info to the government, as the Rival Organization had ordered her to betray Wesker. In the Remake, National Security finds Ashley on their own and Ada is surprised to bump into Leon, an implausible coincidence.

In the OG, Leon is the sole agent sent into the field because the Government is trying to find who betrayed them from inside and kidnapped Ashley, but this gets no explanation one way or another in the "more realistic" Remake.

The environmental storytelling in the intro walk to the Village makes no sense, as the road is blocked by a fallen tree and the only available path leads to an individual Villalobo house, which makes it impossible for the Ganado to have hired any outside help to carry out their complicated constructions in the game if a car couldn't make it to the village, and also makes it nonsensical that the Cop who stayed in the car could be taken to the Village and burned alive before Leon gets there.

In the OG, Leon kills the first Ganado in self defense and then is distraught enough about the possibility that he killed a human being that he immediately briefs Hunnigan, a scene that also sells the deception of the Ganados. In the Remake, Leon walks through bloody barbs, walls filled with painted messages, and a cultist talisman, only to then find the first Ganado, who acts inhuman, has red eyes and disheveled hair, and doesn't acknowledge Leon's presence, defeating the point. Despite all these telltales signs, Leon seems none the wiser and when the Ganado gets closer he panics and breaks his neck from a kick without attempting to put distance between them or ordering him to freeze like in the OG, which makes Leon look incompetent, especially since he doesn't call Hunnigan afterwards.

3/12

The opening house having a handy conspiracy board showing information about the kidnapping of Ashley makes no sense considering it belonged to a random Ganado, although more Ganados spawn in after killing the first one for some reason

When you jump out of the house you cross a bridge with a blood trail, but it makes no sense because the only way to get to it is by jumping from a window and the Ganados dragging the cop to the Village Square wouldn't have done that

Leon speaks Spanish when talking to the first Ganado. For everything else in the game, from Salazar or Saddler communicating with their men to the keycard computer's speakers, which should use Spanish, the game defaults to English.

The Church Bell pacifying all the villagers is still as unexplained as the original game written in just three weeks

When Leon finds Luis captured in a basement at the end of Chapter 1, there's no explanation for Mendez suddenly showing up down there. Leon then yells at him to stop, something he couldn't do to the shorter and less intimidating initial Ganado and which he's attempting after he's learned he can't reason with any of the villagers. There's also no justification for Mendez infecting Leon with the Plaga, an act that was originally carried out by Saddler in the OG and Mendez couldn't understand. In the OG, Saddler hid Luis and Leon together to draw out Ada. It also makes Mendez's attack on Leon in Mendez's house nonsensical in the Remake, since he'd already know Leon shares their blood.

Leon begins seeing visions of Saddler minutes after being injected by the Plagas while unconscious. However, the Foreman's Log shows Plagas' infections require at least a week before psychological signs begin showing up.

4/12

The Remake removes Luis' backstory/cover story of being a police officer, which helped explain why he'd start working for Los Iluminados since he felt heroes were unappreciated and acted as a foil to Leon's efforts as an officer in the OG RE2 were reduced to nothing when Raccoon City was destroyed. This is replaced by nothing in terms of Luis's motivations, with him joining Umbrella for some reason, quitting for some reason, and then going back to Villalobos and helping The Iluminados develop BOWs for some reason even though the Iluminados were responsible for killing his grandfather and casting him out. How he even managed to survive at five-years-old, go overseas and afford college goes unexplained as well.

Luis calls Leon a "quiet guy" unprompted, even though Remake Leon can't keep his mouth quiet for two minutes in the Remake, even when he's only speaking to himself

Leon hears Mendez's footsteps before Mendez appears in front of him at his house, yet when he ambushes Ada at the same location his approaching makes no footstep sounds.

Ada rescues Leon from Mendez's chokehold by shooting at him through a window and then leaving. Since she doesn't wait for Mendez to jump after her like in the OG, there's no justifiable reason for Mendez to leave Leon in the floor instead of finishing the job. Ada's shots not making Mendez flinch also established he was an uncommon and intimidating Plaga specimen, but in the Remake every single regular enemy takes five shots without flinching.

5/12

The files regarding El Gigante simultaneously state he was born 17 months before Leon's arrival, but also depict Gigantes being worshipped in ancient Iluminados religious texts. If these files even refer to the same El Gigante, it's not explained why the first one you encounter is of particular religious importance and not any of the Gigantes in the Castle or the one Ada fights in Separate Ways. Also, they state it grew into a giant since it was a baby, contradicting lore from media released after RE4 OG such as Incubation, where it's stated that babies cannot survive being infected by Las Plagas.

The Cabin sequence ends when Ashley opens the upstairs door after ~10 minutes, despite the fact that outside of the Cabin you can see a simple ladder that she could have climbed in seconds. For that matter, the trio could have left from the hole that's covered by a shelf that they use to let Ashley out at the very beginning

Luis reveals he extracted his Plaga by showing a chest scar, despite the special radiation device leaving no scars in Leon or Ashley, or even damaging their clothes

Hunnigan justifies taking refuge in the Castle because the rain is too intense for a rescue chopper to come close - despite the fact that rescue choppers fly while it rains in the real world, and the RE4 Remake shows little more than a light rain shower. In the OG, the chopper was taken down by Los Iluminados.

Mendez gets to his final boss location before Leon, despite Leon being ahead of Mendez. The location of the fight also has no lore or stated purpose, versus the OG where a file explains it was used to enlighten betrayers.

Castle

Luis calls you when you first arrive to the castle, and the little screen showing his face shows fountains of black liquid behind him. When we see the conversation again from his perspective in Separate Ways, he's inside a tower with no black liquid anywhere near.

6/12

The first time we see a Plaga Type Mandibula occurs when a cultist kills himself to trigger his transformation. This effective method is never used again, the transformations depending on random Leon damage or the Lantern Ganados triggering them

Ada infiltrates the Castle to rescue Luis by disguising herself as a religious Ganado, even though Saddler can see through the eyes of his Ganado and could notice that he can't see through Ada. We know Saddler can see through his Ganado because he alerted everyone to capture Leon and Ashley the second they left her cell in the Church.

Upon first meeting Leon, Ramon sends regular Ganados to kill him instead of the Verdugo and U-3. In the OG, this was explained by him saying "the time for games is over" when he sends Verdugo after Leon, meaning he was playing with his food. In the Remake, it's unexplainable since he sends U-3 against Ada in the first fight of Separate Ways.

The Garradores need to be chained in order to be controlled, even though the Remake established that El Gigante is pacified with an incantation from the Ganados with lanterns which would also apply to Garradores. The same applies to the Regeneradores, especially when one escaping during their development resulted in 20 dead.

Why does the red lanterns trigger the ganados's Plagas but not Leon's or Ashley's?

Leon isn't surprised to see Ada is still alive, despite the fact that he doesn't get to see who throws the rocket launcher at him in 2 Remake nor when Ada shoots at Mendez through the window.

Why does Ada tell Leon to forget about Ashley if he wants to survive and get a proper greeting if she tells Wesker Leon is being useful as a distraction?

When Leon gets trapped inside a cage, a group of Ganados flood the room. Later, when Ashley makes her way to the top floor, the key to the room turns out to be in the pocket of the Ganado upstairs, so how did the group of Ganados get in downstairs?

7/12

Will never understand this video essays that are longer than an hour, much less two or three. SIXTEEN FUCKING HOURS? I wouldn't watch a hardcore, uncensored porno featuring Kate Beckinsale and ScarJo in their prime for sixteen hours, much less a video game essay. These fucking retards need to get it through their skulls that their opinions, as right as they may be, aren't that interest or worth listening to. Even the most intelligent editorial, article, essay, poem, novel, film, journal entry, etc, needs to be edited down for the reader, audience, what have you.

In the Ashley chapter, she can freeze Armaduras by casting the blue light at them, despite the fact that during Leon's fight in the Armaduras's room they only froze upon touching the flame, regardless of how close they were to its light.

If the Armaduras are part of Saddler's hivemind, why are they trying to kill Ashley instead of capture her?

After escaping from the Armaduras, Ashley is captured by Ganados because she wastes time trying to jump off her ledge to be caught by Leon. When you played as Leon in the previous Chapter, you could clearly see a ladder on the side of the ledge.

When Leon shoots the Verdugo while he's taking away Ashley, it makes him bleed. When you shoot him during his boss fight, he doesn't bleed.

U-3 had to be infected since she was a baby in her mother's womb for the insects to hatch successfully. Seeing U3's success, the Verdugo proceeded to infect himself, an adult, successfully.

How is U3 so powerful and can extend her limbs and tentacles like Saddler if she doesn't have the Dominant Species Plaga?

How did Ada call Leon when she was Ashley being taken by the Verdugo if she never got Leon's frequency? Why doesn't Leon ask her how she hacked his line?

Ramon sends the Verdugo to kill Leon even though in the remake Leon doesn't shoot Ramon's speaker so he has no way of knowing that Leon survived the fall or a reason to think so.

Luis tells Leon that they have to use the dynamite to reveal the path he used to infiltrate the Castle. When you use the dynamite, the only thing the path leads to is a small hatch that leads to the lava room with the two Gigantes. Where is Luis's access?

When Ashley is mind-controlled by Saddler and stabs Leon, she backs away until a trap separates her from Leon. When the cutscene ends Leon magically retrieves his knife even though Ashley threw it away on her side of the trap.

There are 38 Novistadores in the castle's Dance Hall, but only a couple in the Novistadores' nest.

8/12

Garradores can't hear if you do knife executions on regular Ganados, but they hear if you knife the air for some reason. They also ignore the sounds made by Ganados and know not to attack them, for some reason.

Luis walks with Leon for many hours, tells him nothing about the radiation treatment to remove the Plagas, then one moment before he dies he sends the radiation treatment file to Ada to send to Leon?

Why is Krauser the only Ganado to have gained super-speed?

Ramon transforms into his boss form after receiving the trauma of three pistol shots. Mendez doesn't transform until his final fight despite having two cutscenes where Leon shoots him several times and a whole gameplay section where you can shoot him as much as you want.

The chalice used to feed Ashley the black liquid is the same asset as Berengario's Chalice in Resident Evil Village, creating a connection that the writers refused to acknowledge or develop

Since Ramon never merges with the Verdugo in the Remake, it's never explained what he turns into or where he falls into that has black tentacles that look like the Megamycete. It also renders Glenn Arias merging with his bodyguard at the end of Vendetta unexplained. The ridiculous amount of mass gained by Ramon also violates the Hayflick limit established in Resident Evil VII.

Island

When Leon finds Ashley sleeping on the Island he injects her with a proper Suppressor that Luis put together with all the ingredients and several hours, and it takes several hours to take effect until Ashley wakes up. Ada uses a Suppressor made in half a minute by Luis leaning against the castle wall with spare ingredients and is cured in a couple of seconds.

9/12

In the OG Saddler asked Luis to create a way to extract the Plagas in case an important scientist was accidentally infected and they needed them to become intelligent again, but in the Remake there's no explanation why there's a special radiation device that extracts the virus and Saddler allows it. The file about the special radiation device also says that the operation would kill someone who attempts to extract a fully matured virus, which doesn't happen to Leon nor Ashley.

Saddler preaches that all of his hosts are the "Holy Body" he worships and speaks for; he also says this while pointing at the Amber. Later, a file from Luis states the Amber could be more powerful than Saddler's power, implying that it's the real object of worship of The Iluminados, and something separate from Las Plagas, or perhaps a new species of Plaga. This confusion is never clarified.

After Ada is kidnapped by Saddler, Ashley asks where she went, despite the fact that she was unconscious when Ada was arround. Leon responds that Ada isn't the type to roll over easily, despite Ada falling to the garbage disposal and waiting for Leon to rescue her in RE2 Remake, and then asking him to complete her mission for her.

Krauser tells Leon that the fortress for their final confrontation is perfect because the place has seen the “blood of generations” even though the island is the refuge to which the Iluminados went to escape persecution by the first Salazar Counts and be safe.

When Leon and Ashley arrive at the Amber repository in the Island, Saddler controls Ashley and tries to get her to shoot Leon. When Ashley resists, she and Saddler leave, leaving Leon alive for no reason, while removing the OG's explanation that Saddler wants Leon as his bodyguard. Saddler later spares Leon's life for a second time when he commands Novistadors to take down Mike, stares at Leon, then walks away.

10/12

Ashley's arc makes no sense: She's terrified -> She has her chapter where you play as her and says she's going to rescue Leon, but fails and is kidnapped -> Leon tries to rescue her from Ramon but fails, he's thrown down the hole and Ashley is forced to drink the black liquid that knocks her out -> Leon finds her on the island half a day later and heals her -> She wakes up and learns that Luis died -> Now she is cheerful, independent and makes jokes about being the Master of Unlocking?

The location of the Novidastores's nest makes the presence of Novistadores in the Island unexplainable. Furthermore, the Amber repository is on the Island, even though it the Plagas are unearthed below the Castle. Finally, the Island's ritual room includes a Monolith with an inscription saying the Plagas are below the writer in the Castle, even though the Monolith is placed miles away.

Luis contacted Ada because he believed if she and Wesker got their hands on the Amber, it would be the only weapon capable of defeating Saddler. However, Wesker simply orders a red rocket launcher and Leon uses it to kill Saddler, leaving the initial thrust of the story nonsensical

The remake claims that the Ganados lose the cognitive functions to do complex tasks, but there is an entire mining operation that uses explosives and a minecart track, and on the Island they use computers and monitor security cameras.

Saddler controls the Novistatores in the final fight, even though they are the fruit of combining humans + black liquid + insects, without using Plagas. The black liquid is never addressed by characters or explained.

How can the final boat ride be supposed to be Leon retracing Ada's path to enter the Island if Leon keeps doing sudden drops that would be impossible for Ada to have climbed upward?

Separate Ways

Why do the ghost Pesantas's swings degrade Ada's knife durability if they aren't real?

11/12

How does Ada continue communicating with Wesker after the communications are jammed?

When Ada returns to the Village, there's messages written in paint. Why do the Ganados need to write stuff down if they have a hivemind?

When Ada sees the Gigante's Plaga, she says "What the hell is that?" Considering El Gigante is Villalobo's oldest BOW, why wouldn't Luis have informed Ada and Wesker about it when he invited them to the country?

Why did Luis meet Ada in the Village if he left the Ambar in the Castle? Why does he say "I didn't expect to come back here" when him and Ada return to the Castle if he left the Ambar there?

When Ada fights the Garradors, they somehow ignore the sound of explosive arrows exploding and go towards her when she attacks with the crossbow.

When Luis hands the Amber over to Ada, touching it causes Ada's Plaga to react and causes her to flinch. When Krauser picks up the Amber by himself, his Plaga shows no reaction.

Before Ada fights Pesanta, she follows Luis through a huge set of broken ladders she has to traverse using her hook, so how did Luis make his way through?

Ada makes Pesanta transform into her Boss appearance by launching a broken stair railing at her with her hook, something that doesn't make sense unless Ada has super strength. If she can launch a huge piece of metal that fast from that far away, she could pull any enemy towards her using the hook during normal gameplay.

When Ada takes the elevator to Ramon's Throne Room, she sees Krauser landing on the building in front of her and then jumping down on his way to the room, but this is impossible since Krauser couldn't have taken the elevator Ada is occupying and examining the floor during gameplay shows there's nowhere Krauser could have jumped from and that he jumped towards an abyss.

12/12

It's gonna blow your mind to learn about books

You should unironically kill yourself for comparing video game essays to books, if you're not trolling. If you are trolling, lol actually a good one

You said nothing should take over 16 hours, including " the most intelligent editorial, article, essay, poem, novel, film, journal entry, etc." That makes me think you've never read a book with over 300 pages

Based because it's shitting on the remake
i haven't read 1 word

Tl;dr

You literally typed out all of this about a YT video that I've never even heard of
Get a hobby or something ffs

link to the video?
I'm flying from Europe to the US in a week and I need a long ass video

The chalice used to feed Ashley the black liquid is the same asset as Berengario's Chalice in Resident Evil Village, creating a connection that the writers refused to acknowledge or develop

"What are recycled assets?"
I skipped Re4R because it looked like they reused a lot from Resident Evil 2, 7 and 8. The way their ruined the atmosphere and color grading told me it was a rushed game but at least it got more development time than RE3R. Instead of more remakes, I would like it better if Capcom could go back at finishing RE3R with a Director's Cut or something.

"What are recycled assets?"

Something that wasn't an issue in RE4 OG

You're not arguing with the same person. But he's right, regardless. Novels aren't exactly the same thing as video-game essays.

How is this different from a non fiction audiobook?

I don't recall seeing anything reused from RE1 in RE4, I am not saying it did not happen just that I did not notice.
Meanwhile in RE4R, it is much too obvious.
By then, the same crate objects and minor props had been around since REVII so they are more noticeable. Especially the yellow painted planks.

Pubert Jenkins

Remaking an old game that is pre-written for you only to end up with less original assets because you run out of money is crazy

she didn't read the part that says anyone who agrees with him is trans

An audio book is someone reading to you out loud directly from a novel, or something non fiction. Let's cut out the middle man for a moment. Books are different from video essays primarily due to three reasons:

Them being ESSAYS, first and foremost, despite their video format

They are, for all intents and purposes, opinion pieces that are discussing pieces of media and not trying to weave an elaborate story or instruct/teach someone something in some given field/profession/subject (will elaborate further later on)

Lastly, anyone with even a modicum of sense can realize that, although he is right about REmake being inferior to OG, that fact can EASILY be explained, video-essay or no, in a much shorter time frame than SIXTEEN HOURS.

1. For the first point, let's look at what the word "essay" denotes. Oxford describes it as meaning

"a short piece of writing on a particular subject."

Notice the keywords there. Now, let's move all of these keywords and shift them to video format. Suddenly, a sixteen hour video essay becomes a bit jarring. If the dude wanted to make a video essay that long, he should have made a video dissertation, a video thesis paper, a video documentary, or a video college school book for pete's sake.
2.Now, for the second point...let me preface this with some questions. What do you suppose is the average runtime length of a film? An episode of a TV show? How about a song? A Poem? Do YOU recall any films in recent memory being 16 hours long?

b-but books

Yes, I'm getting to that.
Novels tell stories. Fantastical, historical, biopics, autobiographical, horror, science-fiction, etc. They are supposed to take a long time to get through. They are obviously not supposed to be read through in a single setting, nor two or three settings. Do you believe the same should be said of video essays? Especially video essays that are essentially just trying to tell the audience

Hey...this remake kind of sucks compared to the OG (1/2)

When did the video call itself an essay?

Because books have standards for being published and an infinitely harder pipeline to pop out of and be successful in before they ever even make it to an audiobook version, and the other is a platform anyone can freely and easily upload to with an internet connection and that anyone can randomly get popular in due to an algorithm that is mostly not understood. Idk why I'm even replying, explaining just this concept alone makes me pretty sure you're just trolling

Self-published audiobooks exist, and the question was clearly about format, not quality barriers, which do not actually exist with audiobooks who have vanity publishers.

93 meta score

On its way to become the best selling RE game ever

#28 best reviewed game on Steam out of every game ever released on the platform

It's over. RE4 Remake emphatically won. There's nothing you can do about it.

Burger here. Why the hell would anyone want to come here? Especially from Europe?

On its way to become the best selling RE game ever

It sold six million less than 2 remake thoughbeit

You know OP, not many people would have sat through this demented dribel, let alone for 16 hours. You could have beaten both games in that time. It is a meritorious effort on your part, not only did you watch the entire rant, but you did also manage to resume it eloquently.

Seems to me that the dev team wanted to change the story to hint at the events of Resident Evil 5 to promote the next remake.
Some other oversights can easily be explained by the small development window the team was given, and yes I am aware the original was developed with that much time but games now take longer to complete as they need a battalion's worth of talent. The larger the project, the more difficult it is to manage.

That is not a justification for the end product.
It did not have the same impact as Residentl Evil II which I liked very much as it was both a fresh take on the original without replacing it while also being a good game by its own worth. Simply put, I did not need a RE4 Remake and I doubt anybody truly wanted this since the original hasn't aged that badly to justify a remake, actually, this already looks like it aged worse than the original already.

It reached 10 million faster than RE2 did.

This is mental illness and you should be banned. Fuck off.

stop talking about videogames!

Remake had 5 years of development, OG plot was written in 3 weeks

"developed with that much time"

editorial, article, essay

scholarly critiques with a scope comparable to a single videogame are not novel length.

Anyone who isn't a basic bitch is probably already well-aware the R4make is a censored, guttered, soulless cash grab compared to OG. Sure, it was a fun game. But was it as timeless and airtight as 4? No. Does anyone NEED someone lecturing them for SIXTEEN HOURS on WHY this is? Like a priest trying to convert the choir?
3. Last, but certainly not least, the third point. My dead grandmother never touched video games in her life, who couldn't tell the difference between a VGA and HDMI port, and who abhorred violence, and wouldn't have been to upload anything to the internet without me standing next to her doing all of it for her, would have been able to easily edit a SIXTEEN HOUR video essay into something much time manageable so it wasn't so bloody long-winded. Do you think actual journalists, with jobs (as pathetic as that is) aren't given time/length requirements in their "profession?" Do you believe PR reps, those in the social media industry are just given free rein to make 16-20 hour videos for their company willy nilly? Obviously not. Basically, making super long ass videos like this is not only asinine for practical reasons, it's asinine for real world job applications, it's nonsensical, it's overwrought, and basically, makes no damned sense. LEARN TO EDIT YOUR SHIT. It part and parcel of writing/uploading videos. You cannot be in the entertainment industry/creative writing process without learning how to do some form of editing.

novel

This discussion was about non fiction books, you seem to struggle with comprehension

If it isn't an essay, it's either a review, a retrospective, or video editorial. Regardless, my point stands. Don't get caught up in the semantics.

these are the same as books!

well i mean JUST audio books and i basically mean any self-published audio book really

lol ok i guess? i have no idea what the point of your comparison is at that point, it's more akin to just reading a really long essay on a blog, so maybe a self-published journal? but even at that, the topic being an analysis of a singular video game, is just so wasteful with its time. i don't need to even watch the video to feel assurred that you can discuss the flaws of RE4make in entirety in less than 3 hours, nonetheless 16.

don't get caught up in the semantics while I quote dictionary definitions!

Are you fucking retarded? You haven't explained how this video isn't a non fiction audiobook because you got fixated on it being an essay

This entire thread is just OP trying to affirm themselves that they didn't waste their time watching this

shorthand for saying that any comparable academic work would be drastically shorter than 16 hours.

pls respond type shit

I'm sorry you won't hire him Mr Schneider, the rest of us normal people understand the concept of podcasts/TV shows with more than 16 episodes/books with over 300 pages you can consume in sittings

you're talking about a 16 hour video that talks about video games writing literal essay tier responses to it, this isn't normal nor should it be accepted, and you should likely seek help

stop

talking

about

videogames

this isn't normal behavior on Anon Babble!

i can't respond to the game points of the video so let's derail the thread talking about youtube

your

thread

is

about

a

youtube

video

you wasted 25 hours of your life watching and then writing a response to and expected people to care i guess, im sorry anon, the regret must really be setting in now

TL;DR

contradicts Damnation

Bro, this guy is mad the CG GARBAGE got retconned? Fuck off.

He's shilling his video. This wall of text is an attempt to draw attention.

your thread is about youtube

Then your bumping it is against the rules

CG GARBAGE

But enough about R4make

This shit video is longer than my first REmake 4 playthrough

Worst REmake when 3 exist

Not even worth watching

i actually laughed out loud at this. if you're not trolling you're hilariously mentally ill, but again, if you are trolling, good bit. although i do doubt someone would go through all the effort writing out the keypoints of that video if they weren't trolling

its longer than a blood meridian audiobook

ye I doubt this nigger has 16 hours worth of content in there

Simply put, I did not need a RE4 Remake and I doubt anybody truly wanted this

You guys are so delusional its not funny anymore.

can't disprove any of the points

Eh...
The thing is that in REVII and Village it is less noticeable for all the new stuff and the tint used on the environments.
VII has the disgusting pus green tint, and VIII is more like chrome to convey a dry cold.

REIIR has its own ambience, which is a blue-purpleish tint.
In REIIIR the reused assets stick out, but it is justified... I guess.
That said, the outcome is unforgivable. RE3R is a disgrace.

For RE4R the dev team did not even bother to change the color grading to match the original games, it was the same as REIIR which makes the reused props stick out even more. RE4R was given 4 years in contrast to the 5 given to the original but it is a given that games simply require more time thanks to 4K.

Not reading or watching this thought diarrhea. Remake is better because it has a much better camera. Tank controls have their place, and it is in games with a fixed camera, and nowhere else.

I dont care about your points or the points of the 16 hour video, if you say this

Simply put, I did not need a RE4 Remake and I doubt anybody truly wanted this

a discussion with you is not worth having.

Well, while you're busy taking 3 years to write your 90,000 word review of Bubsy 3D, our video game review company is going bankrupt. Apology accepted

same game but pretty is actually le worse?

ok dude whatever lmao just play the original then?
if it was soooo good you would have spent the time you spent making this video playing the game
you CANNOT refute this

With 16 hours you could have played both the original game and the remake to completion back to back. That's also about how long it took me to read Jane Eyre. Learn to respect your time

you're so wrong I can't explain why

300 pages

NTA and I'm just passing by, but you don't read a 300 page book for 16 fucking hours

kek and rekt

same game

where?

Imagine making a 16 hour video dissecting the plot of fucking Resident Evil 4, of all things.

it's worst resident evil

because the story and characters are bad

and there's inconsistencies

Jesus Christ who CARES? Resident Evil 4 already had a god awful story. I can't even imagine how much time it took to make a 17 hours video, and it's for the most useless shit ever. Inconsistencies are already a non-issue in books or movies, but in Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023) nobody gives a shit. This is the biggest waste of time someone ever had in human history.

OVER 300 pages

You don't read period, it seems

It's definitely possible depending on the complexity of the subject matter. Reading 300 pages of Derrida would probably take longer than that

It had 4 years to the original 5.

OG plot was written in 3 weeks

This bothers me as the plot did not need any changes.
Not only did they not simplify the story, but it was made worse and more convoluted.
Possibly the Remake was written as the dev team went along.

The art of storyboarding seems to be lost in modern media.

You're actually retarded and brainwashed by communists if you think that usa is actually bad, retard
You don't even realize how good you have it, faggot

oh le poo poo negroes

Fuck off, there are countries in the world where the crime rates are higher and the cops don't shoot violent criminals (WHICH THEY SHOULD DO AND AMERICA IS BASED BECAUSE COPS SHOOT FUCKING CRIMINALS THERE)

nooo the hecking casual shit babies first horror game made for degenerate millennials is NOT the same as the hecking casual shit babies first horror game made for degenerate millennials nostalgia fagging

I think it's strange to remake a pre-written game, take 5 years doing it and create so many holes that didn't exist previously, don't you?

One of these days, I am going to make a 20-hour video dissertation on how awful Nu-Jill was in R3Make. I will finally get my Ph.D Waifu-ology

this is one of the most pathetic threads i have ever seen

This faggot was shilling his shit video months ago.

so you dropped the pretense of them being the same game pretty quickly

If RE4 is The Evil Dead then RE4make is Evil Dead 2013. I enjoy both for different reasons

Schizo thread

Delete this shit janny

shut it down!

A-Anon... I...

I need to consume product, not doing so is bad for some reason.

See what I did there? I've just planted the seed of doubt in your mind.
Eventually, it will grow into the realization that remakes are completely unnecessary.

It becomes worse once you know that the original dev teams have nothing to do with the remakes. Most of the time, they are exactly like those Unreal Engine 5 fan projects people do for bragging rights on youtube, except you are paying money for them.

you cant understand a single fucking sentence 4channel post so I am DEFINITELY not watching your 16 hour retardation

All games are unnecessary. Remakes can be fun and I have definitely played remakes that were better than the original

It shows a lack of polish, sure. But again, nobody cares.

That was just the translation actually following the OG Japanese script instead of localized fanfic thoughbeit

What's the trainer for other than cheating?

who CARES?

I do.
Words enrage the zoomer.
You missed a few key parts by the way.

It is not only the core story that was altered, but many scenes do not work because the team was not paying attention. The example with Ashley and her teleporting knife, for example, or scenes that do not account for the immediate scenery, which is the result of poor directing. By Resident Evil 4, Capcom actually had scene directors just like in a real movie to create the scenes.
What it tells you is that dev team was inattentive and Resident Evil 4 is an immensely popular game, fans were going to notice any minor change.

In short; you are a retarded slop consuming faggot.
KYS.

I'm not a mindless consoom golem kek.

Eventually, it will grow into the realization that remakes are completely unnecessary.

This is a Anon Babble take, its not something popular outside of this place. People like remakes that arent obvious cash grabs and RE2make was a hit and well liked. RE3make was weaker but didnt destroy their image, and RE4 is incredibly popular so people were expecting a remake sooner or later. People didnt care about the gorillion HD editions and RE4 being on every console known to mankind, they saw the game was released in 2005 and deemed a remake 19 years later acceptable.

Increase the FOV and make the third person rifles work.

Oh...guess the Japanese are truly a bunch of fedora-tipping faggots

Every criticism of RE4 remake applies equally to reddit's favorite best remake ever of RE1

The video agrees with you actually

Nobody asked, schizo

DEMAKE4 is woke censored tranny slop btw

RE3make was weaker but didn't destroy their image

It was the exact reason I didn't get 4, and I don't plan on doing so.
Same with the Dead Space Remake.

These games do not need to be completely redone, not only because I distrust the industry as it is now, and because they get the atmosphere, tone, and events wrong, but also because these games only need something like an HD facelift and support for newer hardware. All Dead Rising ever needed was an increased draw distance and 60 FPS. The remake is fucking trash with worse pop-up issues than the original.

That is not to say I am a no-fun person. I did like the RE2 remake and that works because we had not see that game in a long time and the game is both completely different from the original gameplay-wise wise but stays true to what it made it work. This will sound corny but what REII Remake did right is that it stayed true to the SOVL of the game which is more important than just trying to make the game LOOK like the original.

But seriously, if you pardoned Capcom after REIIIR you are a slop eater.

I can beat the game in that time lmao it's true that Anon Babble would rather listen to their favorite sloptuber than playing games. Gottem.

Remakes can be fun and I have definitely played remakes that were better than the original

I only count Resident Evil 1 & 2.
Some HD ports and Remasters can be fine....can be.
Remakes? I guess System Shock?
Care to name some yourself?

stays true to what it made it work

If you pretend the original game didn't have synergy between the routes and that it had bullet sponge enemies and it took you ten seconds to aim, and that it couldn't keep track of whether Mr X is killed and reappears, sure, slop eater

but many scenes do not work because the team was not paying attention.

Nobody cares

By Resident Evil 4, Capcom actually had scene directors just like in a real movie to create the scenes.

And they're rdiculous.
Resident Evil 4 is a masterpiece of game design, not narration. Remake is inferior to the original on almost every point, but there's really nothing to gain from fixating on every single little detail. Everyone was already noticing the lack of polish and passion on Remake, everyone noticed most of the stuff mentionned in the video, even if unconsciously. Some people just don't care, it has nothing to do with some kind of "degeneracy" or "slop consuming".
You can make the argument Remake is inferior in a fraction of the time it takes to watch that video.

everyone noticed

There's cultists in this very thread arguing that you're trolling if you criticise the remake being perfect

They make money tho. Why else would they do this?

Oh great the RE2R schizo is here.
Everybody stop liking RE2R right fucking now or we are going to hurt his weelittle feelings boo hoo hoo.

By the way I did not say or imply any of that, you sack of shit.

You said it stayed true to the original and I asked you if the original was like that, don't get angry

You dont need a 13 hour video to realise playing re4 remake for 1 hour is a slog compared to the og

It's usually good background noise while I play vidya
This video wasn't though, and I've never actually listened to a video where the creator repeats himself every minute like a mantra.

What fucking garbage are you playing where you have the sound muted during the game

Seriously, how the hell do these schizo YouTube "essayists" is able to stretch a review/retrospective to be >6 hours long? What the fuck are they talking about for that long?

How did you miss the part where I said that the gameplay is different but the essence is the same?

Okay to be precise:
What I like about the Resident Evil II remake from the perspective of someone who played the original back in the day is that it captured the feeling of the game.
The game feels like a phenomenal action horror game and takes me back to when I played the original. For example, zoomies might not think much of the tank controls and jpeg pre-rendered backdrops but that was the shit back then. Pre-rendered stuff was cool and Resident Evil II was a great-looking game back then and the Remake captures that sensation that you are playing this large as life production.

All the ingredients are there:
The sense of peril, the survival horror elements, the mystery behind the outbreak, the scale of the conflict, the tone that pairs hope vs desperation, the escalating threats, the discovery of a larger conspiracy, the massive amount of content, how you are playing the game from two different perspectives and the remake accentuates these paths more and how these branching paths unite into one big story.

Birking design has not aged a day.
Most of all you can play either the original or the newer one and have a great time. The remake does not look to replace the original, simply brings out what made REII special to a newer generation.

I know super corny but I like that game.
I feel the same treatment should have been saved for REIII and 4 when there was newer technology to make those games shine.
Instead, I got a 2 hour movie and the type of soulless corporate remake the industry is known for. A remake should be more than just NEW graphics and it is worse for Resident Evil 4, that game already had an HD version. It is only made worse with all the unnecessary changes.

In the age of Unreal Engine 5 I am simply distrustful of remakes and I am not a fan of this fad.

Uh...I do not care for these games but good to know.

Ys

There are so many of them, I would not know if it is wise to even delve into this.

Dessert Bus.
The video lasts exactly the time it takes to finish the game. It adds to the immersion.
