Its as if two different teams were making RE$R and RE8.

I am aware, I am just saying that RE8 sort of set the standard and this is coming like more than a year after that.

I didn't even like RE2R or RE8 and I agree with you. This 4R looks somehow even worse. Where did the polish and quality go? This doesn't look very far from 3R quality wise.

I've been playing through Resident Evil for the first time via the remakes (beat RE3R a couple days ago, and a friend recommended playing the original). The original RE4 has a really nice atmosphere, and I like its color palette. I think that era of 3D games had a great look to them. Lots of newer games, RE3R included, overuse post-processing effects and sometimes create a visual mess of blurs, aberrations, and grain and sharpening filters. Of course the gameplay previews usually look great.
Gameplay previews often don't do much for me, so even if side-by-side there are aspects of the original I prefer, I imagine I might have more fun playing the remake. And then I can play RE5 with co-op!
Boat looks fun as fuck.

Bad fucking comparison. Why are these youtubers always so fucking clueless?
This guy uses the HD re-release of Re4 (pc, ps4, ps3, 360 etc) which is a mess in terms of graphics, with all post processing, motion blur and advanced particles effects removed (yeah, it was ported by monkeys). It is nothing close to how the original actually looked.
The only options available for playing RE4 with the complete graphics are either on GC/Wii consoles (or via emulation with proper settings), or the pc HD Project mod, with the post processing restore patch.

Made sense when that canon could only take out the gate. Now it auto reloads?

Capcom isn't the company to set the bar on, to make such an overall sweeping judgment.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Salazar needs to cool it with the indoors fog machine.
yeah, not sure why the castle is so foggy everywhere lol.
A cynical part of me feels like this is them masking the terrible RE engine SSR (cause I don't think they've confirmed that this game supports RT yet).

As long as Leon stays hot, really, nothing else matters.

How does that matter when RE4 Remake is coming out after RE8 and it should have a budget far greater than that of RE8 (based on it being a remake of the best selling RE game, and capcom wanting to make sure they don't fuck it up).

Because most YouTubers now are fucking lazy and just rip their footage from other people's videos and quickly churn out low effort videos like this rather than doing their own research and sourcing their own footage.

We are lucky they didn’t take his emo cut swoop and turn it into a shaved sided of the head with a boof on top thing.

Framing is half the battle.The haircut stops mattering as much depending on how good one looks.

Let's do a real original comparison. RE4 GCN vs Remake.

I said that it looks as it was made by two teams because the differences in graphic fidelity is jarring. Its probably the same team making it so I said I agree, that it looks way off than RE8 which it shouldnt.

Why is the *long gun magnetically attaches to the character back* still a thing in 2023!? It bugs me so fucking much.

I'm just glad RE:4 finally found a way to fully reinvent itself on current gen consoles. I'd call it a cockroach but it deserves more respect than that.

the push for raytracing acceleration should have come sooner... maybe we would have bigger differences now if hardware manufacturers tried to get that going earlier. well some did but all they announced was vapor ware.

I hope this doesn’t turn out to be a very appropriate typo.

Fidelity (tech graphics) aside I actally think the original game looks better, like if you stand 10 feet away from the monitor the original absolutely stands out compared to the remake.
It has a more cohesive art style with more pleasant colors & better contrast, the remake looks great but somehow feels ''bland'' to me like there's 50 other Unread Engine game that looks the same, even RE2 Remake had a better overall visual style.

Graphics look quite outdated, assets look generic and lost its dark feel with its JRPG look, deven though RE2 and RE3 looked great when released, its quickly starting to look outdated and boring.
I'll wait for this to be under 20$, just like a did RE2.

Yeah, this made me think about how good the original still looks more than anything. What a timeless game.

Say what now?
Yeah, geometry detail did a huge jump from PS1/N64 era to PS2/GC/XBOX. And an almost as big of a jump from that era to PS3/360. But after that diminishing returns kicked in. The difference became more and more subtle, to the point where now you can't even tell if a game is from last gen if you look at a medium res picture/video of it.

I know what you mean. Seems like just a few years ago, I was happily playing it in my teenage bedroom on a 13" CRT.
Now we're here complaining about how unimpressive the remake looks running at 2k+ resolution at solid frame rates

Lightning look glorious in castle, and Leon's hair are awesome and looks so "Because I'm worth it", I want to pet him furrever 
But WHY did they changed the little guy ?
I don't like at all the new character (even if technically outstanding).
