The new version of ResidentEvil 4 works as well as it does because it isn't a perfectly faithful remake.

Back when Capcom announced its Resident Evil 2 remake, I was ecstatic. This was a game I had missed when it first came out, and it was an important part of a series I had grown to love. However, its outdated gameplay meant it was close to impossible to go back comfortably, and its age meant it was tough to play legally. If I wanted to play Resident Evil 2, I would either have to head towards emulation or rely on the remake. The latter, as it turned out, was ideal.

The Resident Evil 4 remake is changing the game The announcement that Resident Evil 4 was getting a remake was a foregone conclusion due to the success of Resident Evil 2 and, to a lesser extent, 3. At first, it felt unnecessary. It’s not the smoothest gaming experience these days, but Resident Evil 4 is still playable and is much easier to find digitally than others that get the remake treatment. It felt like more of a cynical money grab than an effort to create a great gaming experience.

The Resident Evil 4 remake is a cavalcade of moments from the original but done either better or with more self-awareness. It’s full of jokes for older players and callbacks. Sometimes they’re taken nearly beat for beat from the first one, but they’re often cleaned up or with new details. The faithful route The new version of Resident Evil 4 stands out because it charts a somewhat radical new direction for studios to consider. Before it, a lot of studios opted for faithful remakes . The original Dead Space came out in 2008, so it wasn’t necessarily due for any changes. It’s still easy to find for modern consoles thanks to Xbox Game Pass too. But it cleans up gameplay, upgrades the graphics, and makes small tweaks to dialogue and text logs to flesh out certain characters.

These games might play differently, but you’re still getting the same experience — and, in many ways, a better one — compared to the original. The developers understand that what makes a game iconic isn’t 1990s game mechanics. It’s the story, atmosphere, a certain level of difficulty, and a host of other undefinable traits that can make a piece of media feel unique.
