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.

Ashely has been censored and aged up. That's enough of a reason to never touch it.
She still seems fine and even a bit of a cheerleader type.
Yeah. This is really a non-issue.
It really doesn't lend any credibility to the overall consensus of a game when incels can only focus on the fact they can't jerk off to a character anymore. Being able to look up Ashley's skirt isn't a personality.
Kill yourself redditor
Useless rightoids sure do get angry when their invalid opinions aren't respected.
I just simply don't engage with bad faith strawmen anymore. Anyone that does this on here still should be shot. Kill yourself waste of space. But also funny you outed yourself as a lefty subhuman voluntarily.
Translation: "I get blown out whenever I engage with anything outside my deluded echo chamber, so I don't, except I do because it makes me seethe. Now here's a half-assed 'insult' that shows I don't pay attention."
You'd really have to have the coom brain to think I'm a leftist.
Who said anything about looking up skirts?
Spoken like a true concern troll. Why don't you fuck off back to reddit? They love censorship and strawman arguments there.
I'll pass, clown shoes.
I usually like remakes as long as they're fairly faithful to the original, but with one major prerequisite: the game has to have aged poorly. RE2 aged very poorly due to its clunky controls and static backgrounds, so the remake was due. RE4, on the other hand, aged just fine. A remake doesn't really seem necessary to me.
Controls wise not really, aiming is a pain, I will never use stick aim, and the only good version (Wii) is quite dated now
The new version supports gyro very nicely so I'm happy with that
I'm enjoying it, aside from some aiming issues. Just beat del Lago.
Turn up your aiming sensitivity, its a separate slider from your camera one. Seems to be a common problem people have starting out.
GYRO
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.
To the fire. Same with most of the other so called remakes lately.
I dunno, considering how many platforms the original was on, I just don't see the need to, it wasn't a horrifically hard to control mess in need of a reboot like RE2 was. It'd make sense a little if it got genlocked up to the GameCube and was laughably expensive
Pointless for me, I own the original. Never had a desire for any changes in it, so the promise of changes only serves to repulse me. Played through it like 10 times, good game. I hated the QTE stuff at first, but I quickly realized it made the game funnier.
This isn't nostalgia though. Nostalgia is a feeling and the only feeling informing me here is satisfaction based on existing media and its identifiable merits. I do wish "nostalgia" wasn't thrown around so much. If you only like something because of nostalgia, it implies you are focusing on past memories when you enjoy it, rather than it having any qualities you can enjoy on their own.
I’ve been playing it and even thought about making a post about it but so far it’s Solid. Definitely more Survival Horror than action but it does pay homage to the OG while changing things up a bit. I’m up to the Salazar Boss fight but one oft he things I’ve noticed is some of the plot definitely breaks the show don’t tell aspect that the original did.. it’s never going to be as groundbreaking Or possibly memorable as the OG was but it makes for an interesting side grade on the original game. Also Ashley screaming for Leon whence gets rekt is still enjoyable
