Really you don't think it was better than 8? I didn't hold 8 to much high praise, I am re playing with the DLC 3rd person perspective though.Any initial thoughts? The graphics are great, as you'd perhaps expect, but I'm not loving the gameplay so far. It's good, but I think I prefer the original... dunno that might change, I'm ony about half-way through so far.
Definitely not better than 8.
The more I play it, the more I'm like "meh".
I'm really not enjoying it all that much. It's just too relentless for a Resi Evil game for me.
Initially 8 was annoying as when you start out for the first time I thought the difficulty of getting through the village until the lycans retreat was brutal. But once I over came that I really started to enjoy it, so much so I went back through the game about 5 times in a row.Really you don't think it was better than 8?

Thanks for the reply, will keep that In mind just played the demo.Initially 8 was annoying as when you start out for the first time I thought the difficulty of getting through the village until the lycans retreat was brutal.

I can't see myself doing that with this.
Like @ChuChu Flamingo says, it's really cheap, the hit detection is off (I'm playing on PS5 btw) and the action is far too relentless. Game feels more like a chore than anything. It's also annoying as fuck that you either use your ammo or you bin it - you can't save it in the storage area. WTF? I don't think I've played any Resi Evil game where you can't stockpile ammo in the storage areas, why change that now?
Sorry, don't see what the hype is around this at all. It's not that it's a bad game, it isn't, but it's definitely not the best of the bunch either. The original is a better game overall, and I prefer reMakes 2 & 3 over this.
Feels to me like Capcom tried too hard knowing how highly regarded the original RE:4 is held.
There doesn't appear to be that much ammo in the entire game. For the amount of enemies the game throws at you it's really miserly. Basically forcing you to learn the melee attack, which doesn't come off as well as it did in the original either.There's not much ammo in the castle, bloody water room got me a bit stuck
It's not though is it because the game still suffers from the same problems it did originally.That HD texture pack that was in the works for like a decade, where the guy found the real places in Spain where texture work was taken and redid it, THAT is the real remake.
If you're remaking a game whose entire combat system is bound by the idea that you can't move while aiming, and the first thing you do is let the player move while aiming, what are you remaking?It's not though is it because the game still suffers from the same problems it did originally.
