Do you think Capcom can improve on RE4 significantly?



As we all know, RE4 is a highly acclaimed game that got ported to every console but the Wonderswan. Its fun gameplay mechanics, well-paced action, and GOAT-tier writing ("You're right hand comes off?") make it a beloved classic to this day.

Yet it's been 15 years since its release. And Capcom has been releasing remakes of the RE games, in case you missed them.

Do you think the inevitable RE4 remake would be a big improvement over the original? Or do you think the original game is close to perfect as is and they would only do minute updates, especially to the visuals?

What do you want to see in the remake?

I fall into the RE4 is pretty much perfect as it is camp.

You could do an aesthetic remake of some kind but otherwise the game holds up pretty much exactly as it did back then.

It still holds up tbh like pj said

I don't see a need for it to be remade, but I'd still play it

Code Veronica remake I would play to death though

RE4 does not need remaking at all. The only game left that could get the remake treatment is CV.

I honestly do not think they can majorly improve it. RE4 is such a once-in-a-lifetime, flash-in-the-pan conglomerate mess of ideas that somehow all came together to create one of the best campaigns in all of gaming. If they were to do it I would want a visual RE engine upgrade and basically nothing else.

Yeah man that village part at the start of the game absolutely blew me away at the time. I still remember sitting there thinking this is the best game ever made.

I started playing it on Switch in mid-March and it still holds up very well. About the only thing it needs besides a texture overhaul is for Ashley to be able to survive friendly fire without requiring a costume tbh. And I'd personally like QTEs removed or significantly reduced, but that would require overhauling a lot of segments in the game, so I wouldn't see that being done.

Can they? Sure. Do they need to? Not so much. I think they should get to 4, but first remake Code Veronica, then revamp 1 and 0 with new controls and various improvements.

As laughable as the idea seems, I think a remake of something like Survivor or even Gaiden could have potential in it. It's extremely unlikely for obvious reasons but there's some decent ideas, locations, and mechanics that could be expanded on in a survival horror-oriented direction.

IIRC, the Water Room in 3-1 is the only part where Ashley is truly under threat. At any other point, there are places to hide her or safe strategies you can use through a bit of trial and error. The Water Room is the one part where the game takes the gloves off and challenges you to get good or get rekt.

based on the way they changed 3, im concerned a remake of 4 would cut stuff and not significantly improve on the stuff they keep because its already so good

There's also that room near the end with the wrecking ball you have to control 3 times.

Oh yeah, very true. By that point though, I usually have a stockpile of flash grenades to more or less trivialize it.

I really don't think RE4 can be improved on - like others have said, it's such a miracle of stuff falling together just right that I'd be super wary of a remake failing to interpret why it worked so brilliantly. Honestly even its visuals hold up really well outside of its textures, which are being addressed through a ridiculously dedicated and passionate fan project.

The controls on PC are still a bit wonky, but other than making it handle more like a standard keyboard+mouselook title, there's nothing that really needs improving.

Besides, if they want to carry on doing remakes, then Code Veronica is the next obvious one.

RE1 or Code Veronica.

Why would they remake RE1, which already has a remake?

Code Veronica is the more clear choice.

I'd expect Code Veronica next. RE4 may get more visual touch-ups and more content added, but I don't think it'll get a true remake -- at least not without some true inspiration behind it.

RE4 will never be truly remade. There's almost zero demand for it and that should tell you something - fans recognize it as a timeless masterpiece, so there's no reason for Capcom to invest tons of time and money to create a bastardized remake which will only get crapped on and flop.

Bring it inline with what REmake 2 and 3 did with the franchise.

Yes, by getting rid of Ashley. Leon will instead have to rescue the President's puppy.
