    After the chief spares Leon, the next scene is not Leon entering the room again. In fact, that second scene is 100% optional and it serves more as another surprise in the game. Kinda like “oh you wanna go back in here do you? Well this is what happens…”

    @@medranodiego8641that’s because it IS a secret. The game sets you up to miss it; you start in a new chapter right after leaving the room, with your back turned to the door, facing down the hall so the player is influenced to continue forward and not try going back. RE4 is filled with moments like that. If you want to get technical, the GC version of the game still has that scene but not separate ways, meaning it was always optional. Which is my point.

  • @toonbat
    @toonbat Жыл бұрын

    I think RE4 took a cue from Aliens and Terminator 2. When people are familiar with your monster, and thus not so easily frightened by it, make the sequel lean more towards action. That way both the characters and the audience can experience the catharsis of feeling like they're facing their old fears head-on. But don't forget to also up the stakes and make the monsters more powerful, so that the tension remains.

    My mother, a deaf woman, played this game for years. Over and over and over again… she always hoarded her money, yelled when being chased, and took the same paths each playthrough and had to have beat it well over a dozen times, but always had a good time. Especially when we were watching her play. She didn’t understand the story, or any of the background lore - she just loved this game. It’ll forever be a masterpiece to her and myself. Tried to get her to play RE5 and RE6 with me, but the mechanics were a little different and she wasn’t having it! Lmao RIP Mom.

    You know what I like about this game's story? It's like one of those funnily cheesy 80s action movies without trying too hard to be seen as such. Whereas the other games tried way too hard to be Michael Bay films. This and Persona 4 are the only two games to this day that make me feel melancholy after finishing because of how likeable the characters are.

    Words can barely describe how much I love this game. Back in middle school, I had exactly one friend. That one friend introduced me to this game. It was my first "shooter", my first and only horror game ( as I'm usually too scared to enjoy horror game) and we played this game like there was no tomorrow. On one safe file, I beat the game around 20 times becuase I was so addicted, my friend and I spent days at my place to grind the mercenaries mode or to upgrade every single weapon there was. Few games bring me as much nostalgia as RE4 does, which is why I was so excited for the remake and I am so amazed by how amazing it turned out.

Now you're lucky if your game even works without a day 1 patch or if it doesn't have like hundreds of dollars worth of DLC that could've been on the base game if only they weren't as greedy.

    Technically speaking, Code Veronica isn't actually fully 3D (whereas RE4 was). Instead it uses a psuedo-3D system wherein the environment is indeed fully rendered in 3D, but the camera only pans on a fixed plane that the player cannot control - much less view objects within it from all angles - thereby giving the illusion of 3D without truly achieving it. This was used a lot at the time (think early God of War and DMC titles for examples of this) in order to maintain a higher fidelity than - due to hardware limitations - was possible with true 3D. So he's essentially correct in saying this.

    One thing They did explain in the game that Luis Sera had taken medication to resist the Plagas infection. There is a note that says they tried to infect him, but to no avail because he took that medicine to kill the plagas before it hatched. They had to wait till the medicine ran through his system completely before they can infect him again. As for the executioner. I just assumed that the infection was taking too long and decided to just end him. I guess they had a plan to have Leon save Ashley, pretend to be the hero, and then help Saddler take over America, but later figured "Hey, why bother? Kill him and make a better plan."

    Y'know I'm actually gonna back up Acting Mail Man in defense of Ashley, because there are times where having her stand behind you while you're slaying Ganados can really stroke your ego. If you land a headshot with a sniper rifle from long distance, there's an animation where she does like a little fist pump. Don't even tell me that ain't satisfying lol.

    RE4 is quite possibly the best marriage of mechanics, enemy design, and level design in a game to date. The core "stagger-melee" combat loop is consistently satisfying, providing mechanical (i-frames, crowd control, massive damage) and kinetic (cinematic presentation, momentary lull in tension) rewards every single time. Enemies are always visually reactive to what the player does. Adversaries change over the course of the game, and things like shields, invisible foes, helmets, and crossbows force the player to mix up their tactics, and push them to discover every element of the game's rich toolset. RE4 also rewards experimentation with a variety of weapons and a rich upgrade system. It's an absolute masterpiece of design, which makes it delightful to play.

    @@abc-ug5ym I like that little insight at the end there. Not just the mine cart, but the whole combat system seems like they took the emotional experience of gun combat in something from the arcades like Lethal Enforcers, House of the Dead, or Time Crisis and adapted it to RE...Specifically, Time Crisis (With the pedal)...Leave cover...Check targets and distance...Prioritize threats...Line up reticle...Fire...Evade when pressured... But in terms of bagging on consoles, IMHO it's a matter of precision...it's the reason why almost every FPS on console MUST include at least some aim assist, especially if it mixes console and PC players competitively...Man, I remember trying to play Counter-Strike on PC with a controller against keyboard...no contest...but the same does NOT apply however to something like Fighting games where all you are looking for is a single input command rather than a precision selection of pixel under your cross-hair....(Controllers CAN actually be better in the FGC due to ergonomics and the shorter distance your fingers need to travel for input...) so control choice is pretty situational... One last bit, I would partially disagree with the slowness complaint about RE4. The speed of the aiming and enemy movement is balanced with the fact that there is no strafing, dodging, or moving at all while aiming. It's doesn't make the game worse, just different in terms of player priorities...Think of it this way...In an FPS' you can circle-strafe or if you position your cross-hair at head level and aim just to the left of a corner that turns to the right, you can literally almost do nothing but press the fire button as enemies round the corner and backpedal as they advance down the hall...Y'know how they made it more difficult in RE4? Now your gun has natural sway since it's impossible for an actual human to remain perfectly still while aiming and you can't move...thus making it more complicated...motion and combat are just separated in RE4's system...

    I remember when playing this game when it was new on the Gamecube back in 2005. I remember doing a 10 hours session almost non-stop I was hooked.

  • @BadAssMacmillan

    RE4 seemed like the perfect storm. It just nailed all the elements that make a great action-horror third person shooter title. I think it all just comes down to great design and amazing vision, not necessarily one particular aspect. The first thing is that the shooting feels psychologically satisfying. It was as if Mikami and his team decided to start making a game just based on the idea of making shooting as satisfying and fun as possible. And damn, how they succeeded. Everything from the laser reticle, to reloading animations, enemy hit reactions, poping sound of a headshot, even the intensity and moments of time at which the gamepad vibrates. Top that with the aspect of crowd control, which takes some time getting used to, and which makes you always be on your toes. Then there's the excellent level design, insane cinematography of all the action, fun campy story, and incredible sound design. Also, the game has masterful pacing. The ebb and flow of the game is superb. The high intensity action and big set-pieces are mixed with periods of exploration, treasure hunting, inventory management, light enemy encounters, light puzzle solving, It's all here. There's plenty of opportunity to really take in the experience and absorb the world that it creates. All of the explosive set-pieces were earned. For every cabin fight or military island attack, you had a half dozen 'catch your breath' and tension building areas, and these areas never outstayed their welcome. The other thing is that the enemies, and the enemy encounters are so well done. Every battle feels like a scenario that has been planned out meticulously, the way the enemies seem to hem you in and force you on the back foot, the way they escalate and have you on the edge of your seat, the way the environments are used to create a unique encounter each time. It perfectly utilizes each combat arena with specific gimmicks and creative hazards. The game is so good at creating this environment for player freedom and experimentation, while also making the enemies capable enough to push new combat experiences through their varied actions. And all of this is done with the same basic mechanics that you had since the beginning. Then of course the game has memorable boss battles as well. I still can't decide whether RE4 is the game of that generation or Metroid Prime. RE4 was also the game that basically graduated Mikami and his team into the hall of the game design gods.

    RE4 is in my top 10 greatest games of all time, I really think it is a perfect game. I can't think of any actual flaw in it, being perfectly honest. Maybe the Island section isn't as fun as the other parts? But even then I loved the fight with Krauser, the ruins, and, of course, the regenerators which were amazing. I REALLY cannot think of any flaw. Every section is satisfying, fun, atmospheric; the difficulty is perfectly balanced for the player, everything just works. It's a perfect game. I like how you mentioned Metroid Prime at the end. I remember when it was released for the GameCube back then - it was straight 10s everywhere. I never finished it because I was a kid and only got to play it for a while (my friend owned a copy) and all I can remember was thinking "this is one of the most amazing games I've ever seen. Why is this so good?". Even as a kid I was extremely impressed by the pacing and the quality of everything. I definitely need to actually play through Metroid Prime all the way.

    When he said "This is the story I wanted to see continued", I realized that we never really got a proper sequel to Leon's journey, he appears in RE6 but not as the protagonist, sharing the stage with another 7 or so main characters and we could say RE6 was more about Ada and Jake than everybody else. Then Leon leads the 3D movies which was cool but they arent a main entry. Then he gets RE2R which was amazing but takes his story backwards instead, and now we will get him in RE4R, which again its cool but takes his journey backwards. Capcom needs to give him his solo main entry game again, RE9 or RE10, but a solo game, not this all over the place 7 protags game like RE6 where there was so much going on to follow or care. Its crazy how he is the posterboy of the franchise, and yet in 17 years his story has hardly advanced, if at all. This is the story I want to see continued too.

    The developers of this game did a phenomenal job all around, but one touch in particular that's easy to miss is in the credits after the end of the game. The scenes they show there depict the villagers living decent lives before being infected with las plagas, and the town becoming a nightmarish place before Leon arrives there.

    I just re-played this a few months back; it is almost shocking how well it holds up. In fact, if it were released today as-is aside from some updated graphics, it would still be one of - if not THE - game(s) of the year

    The controls are dated now it feels awkward to play at first, it does get easier as you play but it’s still awkward and can’t compare to modern control scheme. As a game though yeh it’s great. Holds your really well. This game made a big impression on me, makes me feel a certain way, the music also helps with that. The save theme is as memorable as the previous game.
