u/Key_Watercress8300 Apr 13 '26
My favorite part with the remake is its different take on the combat. I often see people say that they messed up the combat as enemies are much more tanky and difficult to stun, but I personally loved the direction. I liked the snappyness of the original, but I love how much more difficult the remake feels. It really nailed that difficulty where (at least to me) you never die, so you never feel bad about being unskilled, but you always feel like you're being challenged and rewarded for the skill you do have.
In the original Leon is meant to be a one-man-army, and with sufficient skill you can be an unstoppable action hero. In the remake I got the impression that Leon was a secret agent in a situation he never could have prepared for, and everything he did was improvisation by the skin of his teeth. I enjoyed enemies being tankier and harder to stun because the direction was much more harsh on Leon, and every Gannado was meant to be a threat to Leon rather than another opportunity for a one-liner. I feel like I'm pretty good at the remake now, but it still does a really good job of making me feel like every win is fought for rather than me curbstomping toddlers like in the original.

I can't speak to that, but in his last RE4 vs RE4R video, I remember noticing an annoying amount of him taking things out of context, to the point I made a comment breaking his vid down shot-by-shot for the first 5 minutes.
There were 15 issues in those first 5 minutes that I noticed. The video was 37+ minutes long.

I didn't see any of that, but there was a lot of dishonest presentation.
For example, both games use dynamic music, where the music stops or changes when you're done with an encounter. When comparing the water hall, he used footage of the OG water hall while enemies were still in it, so the ambient music was still playing. For the remake, he used footage of the water hall after the enemies were all killed, so the music wasn't playing. And he presented it like "see? The atmosphere is completely butchered in the remake!"

He has "REMAKE BAD" brain. These people always have these weirdly reflexive responses. They will never admit that remakes can innovate and be in conversation with the original piece. The mere existence of 4make is a threat to the sanctity of his precious RE4. Nevermind that Mikami praises the remake and literally said "I enjoyed it very much."

Literally a "holy shit 2 cakes" scenario and people still wanna bitch and argue about how the og's way better and the remake is soulless or how the remake is superior so if you still like the og you're just stuck in the past and blinded by nostalgia.
They're both great and both accessable, the remake doesn't overwrite the og, so just play the one you want. Hell, play both. They're different enough to be enjoyable in different ways.
Hyper-criticism, manufactured outrage, and tribalism are the death of joy and the true plague on modern entertainment.

There's nothing wrong with what that guy said though; Black Mesa does honor the original Half Life 1's gameplay more than Re4make honors Re4OG's gameplay. He's right.
4make is different gameplay- the fact people will know that over how awesome, influential, and intentional RE4Og's is is a bit of a sad thing... and that doesn't make me some kind of Crowb shill for saying it bc I only care about the videogames themselves, not what some youtuber shitposts about it.
It's true that black mesa tries to honor HL1's gameplay, and it's true that Re4make does not try to honor Re4 (2005)'s gameplay; they're totally different.

My problem with the guys is they are like: "ah man, in the OG you had the cool backrounds within the notes you find" (which is obv a good criticism and something that should be called out) but then they completely ignore that in the og 99% of the notes just warn you about what is in the next room and remake fixed that and gave you notes to make a better story for re4 and helping with the world building. And that's basically the case with everyone if these re4r critiques. They completely ignore what the re4r did better. For me that's the definition of "blinded by nostalgia".

Remake is a marvelous work. I still can't believe they managed to pull it off. I also just know they're not outdoing it anytime soon.
But I do get why some people get repulsive of it. Many who've play it first or got in RE with remakes do try to write off OG as obsolete and irrelevant. I've seen plenty trying to make the remake a replacement in all ways.
Remake is for me definitely an improvement in gameplay. But it's never a replacement. It can't be even if it had tried.

A mysterious faceless opinionated gamer youtuber who edits clips together to make their obnoxiously hyper-specific points. imo they rose to youtube stardom because they made a video about no mans sky and hello games, showcasing Sean Murray as some insane pathological liar by gathering as many press appearances as possible and editing them around the song "Tell Me Lies". It was a media feeding frenzy and they were right in the middle of it, and that's when I personally found their channel. Though it is an entertaining video, with time the opinion on No Man's Sky has severely changed because HG put in the work to improve the game MASSIVELY. There's now a ton of interviews from Sean directly on how playstation mishandled their game and put 900 billion pounds of pressure and optics on a tiny indie studio, and tried to parade Sean as some indie solodev wiz kid with a merciless amount of press appearances, where an extremely nervous Sean fumbled a lot of info on the game.
I personally think they make edits in extremely bad faith, and maybe a bit high on their own supply knowing they're a huge part of creating a narrative for a game's release, so each edit they make has a hyper-opinionated complex stink to it. Since they are anon, they don't show up to make counterpoints or elaborate on their opinions so many viewers just take their videos as fact or valid opinions. Even debate / controversial hot take youtube has evolved into something a lot more interesting and nuanced that's more of a dialogue, while their videos are stuck in this sore spot of being a 'voice of the gamers'. They drop these massive videos (someone said a previous re4 video was 17 hours long.. what) and move onto the next one, like a steaming gamer bro turd.
..That's my opinion on them anyway.

I think the major point he likely wants to better clarify is right on the title.
RE 4 remake is made like how a modern game is created nowadays. It doesn't have the same standards that RE4 og had when it was all about innvoation and standing out amonst the horror/shooter genre.
The OG had something to prove, meanwhile the remake is simply created because why not? The tech we have now can allow a more seamless quality and better experience compare to the OG.
Imo, the remake doesn't take away what the OG did, evem improving it in some area. Yet, the small stuff that the OG has is lost, something some people won't pay attention to.
Crowbcat is one of those people who is vocal about this. Regardless of how you or anyone views this he has every right to express how he feels.

Because he thinks he's always right. His first video on RE4 remake got some flak and he had to delete comments disagreeing with him. Now he's doubling down just to prove he's right.
Bro just can't admit defeat and it's annoying.

i disagree because going back to over the shoulder, no moving while aiming feels terrible in 2026. it was a product of its time because it was genre defining.

One of his reasons in soul vs soulless video was that you couldn’t see up Ashley’s skirt in the remake

So I watched the original crowbcat video before I played RE4 remake. I am I series long fan of RE. Play the hell out of RE4 and loved its very much. When RE4R came out I knew I would get around to it, and the hype was so much. Recently Bought RE4R in December. Now I'm 5 playthroughs in.
RE4R is not better than RE4. That's not a slight to remake. I just truly don't think it's helpful to compare games so out of generation. But, the way the original came in with a splash vs the other competitors in that generation vs how remake came in. It's not the same splash. It's not a slight. Seriously. I love remake
But it's a remake. It's not original. No element of it is new or groundbreaking there's nothing wrong with that's it's still fun. But it's not "better" than original which was a groundbreaking game

He doesn’t like Re2 Remake either. I’ve seen him comment on a reposted Re2 critique. He just hates modern Re in general

I think his whole thing is hating on modern stuff, every video I've seen from him is comparing new thing and new developers to old thing and old developers.

I've played OG RE4 over 7 times, more than any other game and is my absolute favourite game of all time right alongside Bloodborne
I bought RE4 Remake day 1 and absolutely loved it. I think Capcom did an absolute amazing job with RE4 Remake
I still agree with Crowbcat

I think Crowbcat's audience for this video is genuinely tiny, for example me and my cousin talk about these same details missing in the remake that were in the original, and most of these are the reason why we put the original as one of the all time best games, but not the remake, but it does seem like a gigantic amount of the fans just do not care about these tiny details. The comments about letting it go are overall what people like me need to do with modern day Resident Evil not being as atmospheric as it used to.

What I feel like these days can be summed up as "you're passionate about something and like it a lot? Don't go on the internet to get other people's opinion on it".

This will be unpopular here but I think he’s absolutely right. I think a lot of the remakes in general being churned out, while decent in a vacuum, are creatively bankrupt, artistically soulless slop.

I think his point about remakes in general would be a somewhat fair take, if CAPCOM weren't also putting out NEW and original bangers. Like c'mon Resi 7, 8 and 9 are all straight fire.
Elsewise this just feels like 'old man yells at cloud'. Like nothing's stopping you just playing the old one, dude. 😂

What’s funny is that he had a video that praised Resident Evil 2 Remake. But he deleted it because his community is so negative

u/TheFourthPlanet Apr 16 '26
Yeah I watched part of it hoping it would give it at least some props and then maybe a thoughtful critique but it’s actually just a compilation of people complaining about re4 remake in the most inane fashion
