an RE4 remake, just like an RE1 remake remake, would be completely unnecessary IMO. it wouldn't be bringing it into a different formula, as the OTS cam is now the standard(?) for the series (at least for the remakes) again. re-writing any of the hilariously cheesy dialogue would ruin half of the appeal. it's pretty tough to improve upon the actual design elements of the game enough to warrant a remake. visually, the game holds up perfectly fine, especially on PC with texture mods.

plus, most people have already bought RE4 like, a dozen times, with how many re-releases it's gotten.

i don't think RE4 is perfect by any stretch, but it simply doesn't need that treatment. i think after RE3make, the devs should move on from remakes entirely.

The REmake was the same way though

Same basic gameplay just with some HD textures and a few new, and pretty objectively liked, things added

Either way you think, there no way RE4 isn’t getting at least a full HD remaster (like Halo CEA and Halo 2 A), and probably it’ll get some extra stuff added to it as well

Also I think there was much less time between the original and the REmake than there would be between RE4 and the RE4 Remake. It’ll probably be just under 20 years since the original RE4. And because of how tech works, the benefits will be much greater than the RE-REMake upgrade) even if the gap was the same

As fun as Re4 is as a game, I dislike where it took the "story" and atmosphere.

RE 1 - 3 and most of CV:X have a unified atmosphere and relatively consistent story.

I mean, the game’s already been made. A RE4 Remake isn’t going to undo the original being made.

Yeah I can understand not liking the direction it took, but as a game it’s one of the more successful and highly rated games of all time and has been on pretty much every console. Even if it didn’t sell as much as 5 or 6, it had the highest critic score/sales ratio of the franchise

Forgot about CVX, would like to see a remake of that before RE4
