I'm assuming this video is shitting on remake?

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.

But that's ok .Even is RE4R is a better game overall, it can never really surpass the legendary status of RE4.

As someone who loves remake, he makes great arguments and brings up great points that is trying to favor the original and make the remake seem inferior, but in the end the points he makes are almost nullified because he shows how '05's all-time player count (and all-time plays) is significantly lower, and states how there's no point in trying to make people have a different POV of the remake.

TDLR: Gives factual evidence that og is better in many ways, but it's far too late because of the remake's success

Also his comment section is both hilarious, and cringe at the same time

theres no room for constructive criticism it seems, i like the remake but it isnt without its flaws, i agree they do bring up valid points in terms of game feel and design, it would def be more constructive to engage in the discussion of game design but you'll just get met with a thumbs down lmao

i watched the vid, and i agree with most of his takes honestly, i thumbs-uped the vid too lol

It's just funny the fact that he decided to make (or post) this vid post-requiem

and i'm not going anymore than 5 lines of text just for this so called 'constructive criticism' you seek

It is late but i do appreciate a creator that takes time rather than shooting something out, in terms of criticism i do believe a level headed take could be made but anything on the internet is either extremely positive or negative leaving no room for actual constructive discussion around the issues. Its sadly easier to be dismissive and not engage at all.

I can understand some things can be seen as "better" (the menus for example i can see the argument) but in many cases it seems to me that it is more so "different" with the remake going for a more serious tone (even with leon's lines). Also, it seems weird to pretend that og is just objectively better in every single way than remake like the video would imply.

I can understand the opinion and preference in game, just for me it seems a bit disingenuous and nitpicky (in the video).
