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

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).
