Anyone played this yet? If so, how does it hold up? Worth it?

All the reviews have been outstanding, but PS5 players on Reddit say to wait for a patch to fix some graphics/performance issues.

ETA:

I feel like I am crazy, but tbh, I think the remake has worse art direction than the o riginal.

Imo the remake was an 8.5/9 out of 10. Slightly better than RE 2 remake and way better than RE3. They did ground it way more in a game mostly taking itself much more seriously, but a fair amount of the 2005 charm is there. It’s much more of a horror game than the original which I actually liked but it kept most of the action play style. Also introduced new guns and almost every boss was tuned to surprise returning players and make them better fights.

The side quest can range from lameish-to finding completely new content no in OG including mini bosses and lore.

On a run on Normal difficulty most players will find the game on the easy side but repeat runs will m harder modes truly make you become of master of the games combat and systems.

It also didn’t truly cut much from the game and as I stated it did add on some hinge in turn. It’s definitely worth buying an playing and imo likely a close toss up between 4 and Hogwarts legacy for best game of the year so far.!

Just my experience but I had no performance issues on ps5 nor any graphical issues outside a few instances draw distances was bad but it’s rare to see too much of that in the game anyway. Not saying it isn’t happening just my anecdote

Played a little yesterday doing the NZ trick on the series x.

Plays great and I like the change in tone so far. Having fun with it so far.

The only serious misstep capcom has made with the re engine remakes thus far is the hatchet job they did on 3.

I’m loving it and the only thing I can complain about is when you upgrade capacity you don’t get a free clip which means no free magnum bullets unfortunately.

I did not want to drop $60 on this but i think i may pull the trigger. Its the only RE i ever liked enough to finish. I actually played the Wii version and loved it.

ETA: Well, just purchased in Steam.

I was seriously about a 9.5 of 10 until i got to the crystal ball puzzle which is probably in like chapter 3 if i was guessing where youre supposed to line it up with what which likes an angel on in inside. You use left analog to rotate and l and r 1 to spin. someone help i refuse to continue until it is done for me

Maybe it is chapter 4 I already have Ashely pistols rifles shotguns and cross bow with extended case, you will know what i mean immediately. Please come share

You have to line the bubbles inside the crystal up to match the pattern. There’s a pretty obvious pattern but it can be tricky to line it up just right.

I mean no mean to be a dick downvoter. I just couldnt get it to work and asked if anyone had detailed help as i understand the basic concept. I am sure someone will have a youtube video soon going step by step so its all good. Game is amazing. As much as loved hogwarts I think RE4 was even better, but in the right context. IT was a better game as a remake of a top 10 of all time, possibly topping og for some, and Hogwarts was right place right brand, better open world non from game we have had in like 5 years.

Gotta say..hardcore is fricking hard. Couldnt get past the village. I remember when it first came out there was a path you had to take but shite that was a long time ago. Getting smoked.

I'm not ashamed to admit I had 25 deaths and 5 hours to complete Chapter 1.

First 15 I forgot I could just run away for 4 minutes. Use the ladders on the second house to the left and the next house (with the door-barring cutscene) has ammo and a shotgun on the wall.

RE4 remake is my game of the year so far easily. I love hogwarts but it’s just better. I am absolutely amazed capcom took an already arguably top 10 or 20 all time game and made it so much better. The story is darker and not as jokey, it actually serves as a follow to Re2 with Leon and his ptsd. It’s just great.

I beat it 3 times so far twice on standard to get my shite right and find as much as I could then 1 on hardcore. Going professional run I will start in about 20 min.

What’s everyone’s favorite guns I’ve had a bunch to play with on 3 runs. First run I used the red9 pistol which is good but there’s better later. The TMP is a top gun in the game even though you can find a MP5 type “assault weapon” that uses sub magine gun ammo later in a small key chest. Rifles I like the white one you get from the merchant although I understand there’s better snipes I haven’t found. Shotguns again the semi auto is best I’ve found that you buy from merchant. The bow gun is so good but hard to get the purpose of it and hang of it.

If you have a sniper you can skip the open village scene on a second run if you shoot the church bell. Just lettting y’all know lol

Aside from that I ran it through about 6 times on hardcore to get the best route I could find down. Assuming you’re on ng+ and your knifes (your starter and one you get from a boss right before the game ends plus if you get each little bobble head in the chapters you’ll get the best knife in game so have all 3) are both max in durability and power which should be first thing anyone does,

Sneak left like most prob do, stealth the lady by herb, then go around and alrert here are some tips for my best run I did without damage but it’s the first time I ever did it

- don’t immediately run into shotgun room especially on hardcore it drags out the timer, wait for chainsaw to come on his own

- become a parry master if you haven’t yet you’ll never get past like chapter 6 on hardcore let alone 1 on professional. Perfect
Parry’s give you melee kicks.

- become a master at gettig melee with your pistol to clear groups. Figure which zombie gets melee open ups where not all are head shots ( the woman spears for example are hard to open up) but yes you can knife parry their charge just like 95% of attacks in the game

- when the cutscene and guy shows run into the shotgun room. If you’re on ng+ you can shuff the shelf and grab first aid from back but don’t need the shotgun. Run up stairs and let the ladders guys come up and knife off as they get to window until door downstairs is chainsawed down. Kick ladder down and frick around jn here as long as possible. Flash chainsaw for melee + anyone around him. Magnum maxed damage might 2 shot him. But when you can’t remain jump out the window.

From here you can figure it out not much longer should be needed. Idk if it’s common knowledge but killing chainsaw has no effect on the bell ringing and it’s like 40 seconds longer on hardcore and 90 on professional. Watched a vid of a guy do this set piece in professional without a single shot or grenade used so it’s doable

Also never stop to pick shite up until the fight is down. Drops don’t disappear and it does slow you

One more neat thing that can help people having issues on hardcore although it’s kinda rng. The shooting ranges where you get tokens to customize your case. There are 30 and you get them random based on tier of coin used. One of them (the best imo) makes running 15% faster

I dropped the $60 for it. I played the other two remakes and loved them. I never played the originally RE4, so this is a brand new game for me. On Chapter 2 and loving it so far. The weapons vendor is dope.
