In the original Resident Evil 4, the orientation was largely towards action and movement in exchange for clearly abandoning the horror and survival element. Perhaps this issue contributed to the series abandoning for the first time what characterized its first three installments, which were described as games of gameplay and survival.

But in Resident Evil 4 Remake, there was a great effort to return the game to the circle of horror and survival by making some elements more difficult. In this report, we will discuss with you the 5 most modified elements to bring the game back to the circle of horror and leave, even slightly, the circle of action and speed.

1- Getting ammunition has become more difficult in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Unlike the original game, a more terrifying path was taken in the remake version, dealing with some different elements such as making the game darker, making the enemies more brutal and powerful, and also changing the forms of some characters such as Salazar and Luis. precise and their appearance more mysterious.

But there have also been clear changes to the availability of ammunition and how it is obtained. Resident Evil 4 Remake no longer showers Lyon with various ammunition, instead obtaining them is a rarity, while sometimes you will have to collect basic components with which different ammunition can be crafted in a similar way to the classic parts.

This will make the game lean more towards survival and horror than the original version, which tends to be action and movement.

2- The Ganados became smarter and faster

In Resident Evil 4, the zombies were replaced by villagers called ganados, who are smarter and faster than the zombies. In addition, they have different abilities. In the remake, they became more powerful and intelligent when facing Leon, as they began to follow methods that could make his passage much more difficult.

Ganados can now surround Leon from all directions, while some of them can use claws, axes and other sharp farming tools that can cause great damage to Leon. But the matter will not end there, as some of them resort to the use of explosives and incendiary bombs, which they intelligently and at the right time throw at Leon, who will try to save his life by various means.

3- The knife in the Resident Evil 4 remake became important

One of the weapons that has been gaining prominence in the new game is the knife, which has become of great importance and plays an effective role in saving Leon's life and getting him out of trouble.

In the original game, the knife didn't play any significant role in combat, other than delivering simple blows to enemies. But here in Resident Evil 4 Remake, it's become an effective weapon, as it can block deadly blows from Ganados' weapons, block a brutal attack with Salvador's chainsaw, eliminate mutants with one blow, and even use it to sneak up behind some enemies.

Furthermore, the knife can break frequently and you will have to repair it or even upgrade it to make it more powerful and last for longer periods. In short, the knife will become an important part of the survival elements that you will resort to again and again.

4- You will need to do more to satisfy the retailer

The merchant's debut in Resident Evil 4 Remake made many people happy, being the main source for obtaining and upgrading weapons and even repairing Leon's knife. But perhaps his return won't be as easy as we were used to in the original game, as there are more challenges and tasks that he can assign you to complete them in exchange for rewards.

The merchant will now offer you a trade that helps you exchange some valuable collectibles that you have obtained with some tools, such as healing resources, for example. Additionally, the merchant may assign you a side quest to reward you with something special that can make you stand out in the confrontation with some enemies.

There are some side games that the merchant may allow you to enter and complete in record time in exchange for rewarding rewards.

5- Confrontations with leaders have become more difficult and complex

Resident Evil 4 Remake not only introduced changes to the enemies' forms, which became more terrifying through additional details that made their sizes perhaps frightening or made their claws more powerful and effective than before. But it also made them smarter, faster and stronger than before.

We will witness the return of many monsters and giants that were present in the original game, but now they are more powerful and terrifying than ever. Yes, Leon will suffer a lot in the confrontation with them, for example, the player cannot climb up and down the scaffolding in the battle with Mendez. While he will have to face him on ground level, which is more challenging with his attacks and fire hazards.

Also, QTE moves can't save Leon from Verdugo or Krauser now, as the battles with them are now real-time and you have to attack directly. Not to mention the Krauser fight in the labyrinth, or the Salazar battle, dealing with them will be more complicated and difficult than before.

Those, my friends, are the top 5 items that have become more difficult in Resident Evil 4 Remake compared to the original game. And that has made the game a great return to the survival horror circle.

We note that the game is now available on PlayStation 5, 4 and Xbox Series devices, in addition to PC.
