Already have the deluxe edition installed and ready to go when I get home later tonight. I must admit I wasnt the biggest fan of original RE4 (I felt it strayed too far from survival horror and into action) hopefully they add more horror elements in the remake.
I own probably around 75% of the guns in the game (I purchased an SL8 because its in the game even though I'm not a fan) and will likely bust a few of them out tonight while playing. Haven't seen anything about it here today...anyone else here planning on getting it? If so whats your favorite gun?

I have a hard time paying full price for a remake of a game I paid full price for 14 years ago.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a hard time paying full price for a remake of a game I paid full price for 14 years ago. I think its more of a reimagining of it kind of like RE2 Remake....they change enough around to where it feels like a difference game. Also, from what I remember RE4 was one of the longer games in the series so it might be worth the price. |

No, but I just downloaded village. I haven't played games in 15 years, but got an Xbox Sunday so I could play forza. Then I realized everybody has games on big sales right now.

Hopefully they keep all the same shotguns, I loved the Benelli

Not sure what the price on it is but you really should play RE7 first as RE8 is a continuation of it...both follow the same protagonists story. RE7 is also a far better survival horror game and was the title that breathed life back into the RE series. |

I never really played RE games when they first came out but knew of them. I was already on PC by then and gave up on consoles.
I ended up buying the RE2 and RE3 remakes on PC for pennies a few years ago and really enjoyed them. I may have to check out the RE4 remake when it comes down to a few bucks. |

I like zombies. Regular, bioweapons-grade zombies. The ear slug cultists or whatever in 4 were not my bag.
They've done a great job of the remakes, though. I thought I wouldn't like something that wasn't a 1-to-1 remake (just with new graphics), but they kept the spirit and feel of the originals with gameplay that's actually more fun. |

RE4 is just an easy linear action shooter where every enemy is predictable and constantly drops ammo and health, not to ention a merchant follows you around and sells you anything youre low on (wtf?), there is never a point of desperation or rationing, etc. Leon basically rolls over everything like hes a super hero that cant be touched lol. Original Re4 wasnt a bad game, it was an awesome and entertaining game....but it was a bad Resident evil game. It should have been a side title imo Can I take a stab in the dark and guess that it was your first RE game? |

I played the original RE up through 5, then kind of lost interest in the series. I liked 4 the best, thought it had a great story. I’ll agree, it was a 3rd person shooter more than survival horror but IMHO it retained enough of the RE-style exploratory elements to keep me interested. I mastered the original game on GameCube, had the handcannon, infinite launcher, etc.
I bought the original version for PS4, the controls translated poorly to the PlayStation 4. Got motion sick almost immediately from jostling the camera too much and I gave up trying to adapt the controls. I did preorder the remake and will give it a few hours tomorrow after work. |

I'm probably going to hate play it, I'll be honest. I don't like a lot of the changes I've seen, but this is one of those cases where I've just got to know how it holds up to the original.
Maybe hate play is a little too strong to say. This was the first remake announcement out of all of them though that I'm lukewarm on (well, also 3 but I'm not even counting that, that was a lame cashgrab). The original holds up so well that I don't know that it needed a remake, and the creative changes that I have seen so far kind of feel like an eraser being taken to my memories. |

I wonder if you will be able to avoid the chainsaw wielding guy in the first village you come to by not going into the house which triggers the cut scene. That guy was pissing me off big time in the original before before I figured that out.

They've knocked it out of the park with graphics settings again. Every game should have Capcom level of settings.
The advanced hair and fur settings are the best I've ever seen in a game to date. I can't overstate both how good this game looks and how optimized it is. I don't even have a bleeding edge PC anymore. |

IDK I use a controller on PC The laser sight is no longer standard and is an unlockable that I haven't gotten yet, so I can't comment on how that works, but in lieu of that standard aiming lets you shoot and move, but standing still increases accuracy. Although it's not too inaccurate even while moving, I assume to balance out the frantic nature of the combat. It's certainly harder until you get your bearings at least. Click To View SpoilerThey added +1 reloads to handguns, which is a cool attention to detail, and he's got a very dynamic shooting animations (Pulling his handgun in close when enemies are in your face, for example). It's just neat. This is the third game they put out recently that ended up being way better than I was going in expecting. I've only just made it to the shopkeeper so it's probably premature to say it, but at this point it is not only way better than the original, but maybe the best in the series, if in nothing else, at least polish wise. |

I didn't get my Steam key from Green Man until early this morning, so I'm not able to play until later tonight.
GMG did what they always do though, which is send a 5% off coupon as a "sorry" for not getting the key out faster. That said, two things I noticed playing the Chainsaw Man demo were: - Your knife is made of glass - The game feels like the RE2/3 remakes in how you move and attack, with minor tweaks to keep it RE4 (stun kick, etc.) |

Quote HistoryI was only able to play the demo so far, and my playstyle in the demo was very knife heavy to the point the knife broke in the first few minutes of the village battle. I've always been "that guy" in the RE games that will use the knife as much as possible to conserve ammo... to the point that I'll walk into the boss fights with enough ammo to kill them three times over usually. If what you say is true, then I'll most likely follow what you are saying in the real game. |
