I've checked some streams, the game looks nice, Ashly is not some insufferable girl boss, she is in fact feminine and likable - I still prefer the original do to nostalgia. Overall I like it and was planning on buying it.

They seemed to have realized that there was zero chance of topping the original, and nobody wanted them to even try, so they just went in a completely different direction. Which meant undoing the originals "actionization" of the game and making it much more survival horror, with it feeling closer to REmake2 than RE4 in most areas. Especially in terms of ammo/knives
Which, imo, was a tricky situation to be in. It would be odd to just "skip" 4 when they remade the first 3 and are clearly going to remake 5-6 (game's that really need it), even if people understood why. So going on what people liked about the REmakes instead of being super faithful was the right call if you could make it work, which it seems they did.
Also Luis is way hotter and more interesting, while Ada's voice actor turns her from also unbearably hot to "please just leave." Its genuinely shocking they let her performance pass.
I can see why people might not like the changes to Ashley but, imo, they seem more fitting with her entirely changed personality. A timid, quiet girl in her mid 20s looks exactly like she does, wherein the loud, annoying teen mouse looked exactly like that one did. If its over the line for you, I get it though.
From the little I've seen, I like the new Ashley. The old Ashley was fitting in RE4 because the game had a bit of 90s over the top action movie feel to it, at least to me. But the new Ashly fits very nice in how the new game feels.
Yeah, agreed. It feels like a progression of the way they decided to take the game rather than a deliberate decision to censor her. Though again, I can see arguments to the contrary and I won't say you are wrong to believe it.
It was both progression and censorship, look at Ada for that too
Right, like I said I can see where people's arguments come from. I just don't agree. Ada just looks generically Asian now, instead of "white girl they tell me is Asian." If they were trying to cover her up to be less titillating, they wouldn't have an entire cutscene devoted to slowly panning up her body showing how tight that sweater-dress and the tights are on her much larger "assets."
Like, if they were trying to remove sexualization they wouldn't have so many clear commitments to it. Which is why I think its just regular design choices instead of censorship.
