To this day, it's about the closest thing I've experienced to a perfect video game.

From its tense, thrilling action to its rich atmosphere, from its glorious B-movie camp to its pitch-perfect pacing, it's just a masterclass in pure entertainment, delivering a constant stream of dopamine and adrenaline.

I've played through it 11 times, and each time it blew me away all over again. There may come a day when I find something capable of dethroning it, but after almost twenty years, so far, nothing else has.

The remake is better in everyway. Honeslty was the best game ever when it was released, but the combat is just too simple now, as we gamers have gotten way more skilled from playing games for 15 more years, the shoot in the head and kick is way too OP, then the shot gun just oblitrates enemies it's way to easy for something that's suppose to be a survival horror game these days. Play the remake in hardcore.

This where things to get confusing for me cause for mario 64, OOT, and resident evil 4 were goats for there time but they been surpassed in almost every way.

I played RE4 ps4 remaster in 2019 for the first time and I bought the remake a few months ago. I progressed the remake enough to know that it's not better in every way, they slowed down the pace of the game and there is something to be said about overcluttered graphics for this game. I felt like reducing difficulty just so I could get a better flow and pacing, before I put it in my backlof folder. I don't think RE4 was supposed to be pure horror nor was it supposed to follow RE in puzzles or level design. Just build as an action thrill ride from start to finish while keeping the vibe of the series. It was perfect. Even the VR game on Quest, as cool as it was, didn't feel like RE4 although they changed little but the key word is pacing. That game is built around the pacing. It needs to have progression get up and go and no down time. The remakes tennsenss is cool but to avoid getting gangbanged it slows it all down. To much I say.
