After years of waiting and waiting, Capcom's masterpiece that changed the concept of horror and survival games in the past has returned to us, and it has finally been released this time in the form of an incredible remake titled Resident Evil Remake... was it worth all those years of waiting?

Welcome to the Resident Evil Remake Review and Rating

Resident Evil Remake Game Overview

In general, the fourth part of this famous series is the cornerstone of a new, completely different direction from the parts of the Resident Evil series released before it, and here we are talking about the original game released in January 2005, and is one of the most powerful games of the veteran Japanese director. Shinji Mikami.

The new direction the game took at the time was the change from a fixed camera system to a third-person camera system. This particular part was a turning point in the history of the series because of its willingness and ambition for change, and it came back to us again in the form of a remake with the same style and general direction.

The story of the game

Unfortunately, there have been no major or significant changes to the story of the remastered game. Of course, we don't want to spoil the events of the game or the new scenes that have been added to the game's story, but trust us, don't expect any major changes that will affect the events and progress of the game.

What we can officially confirm is that the developer has worked to improve the narrative and add some modifications to many of the game's events, as a large number of dialogues have been changed and new cinematics have been added. The events are generally familiar to most players and are centered around a specific point. Six years after the events of Resident Evil 2, Leon, a survivor of the Raccoon City crash, is sent to an isolated village in Europe to investigate the disappearance of the daughter of the President of the United States. What he finds there is unlike anything he has encountered before.

Graphics, physics and sounds

The first thing you'll notice in the game is the power of the incredible detail that made me wander through that miserable village full of blood and dead animals, and the smell of mold everywhere. Soft, and the wonderful filter that was used to support the colors of the game.

Leon can interact more with the environment around the game this time, that's not all, the physics of the game have become significantly better than the parts of the previous remake, you will hear many rich ambient sounds that will make you deeply immersed in the game world, for example, the sounds of birds, suspicious crows, and the creaking of the wind passing between the branches of the trees and the holes of the houses. Yes, that's what you will hear. The sounds of gunshots have also been significantly improved, the voices of the characters and the movement of the lips are better.

Unfortunately, all that battery life you read about above will gradually disappear as you progress and reach the mid-game. I mean, the developer has put a lot of emphasis on developing the game world into the village and lake area, which is full of secrets and exploration elements. This gradual decline that you will witness also includes a variety of details and many frustrating things, such as distant “background” views that have become devoid of detail.

Capcom used its own RE Engine in the development of the game, which has proven successful in many of the company's hit titles, including Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5, as well as Resident Evil 7, and is indeed well suited to accommodate more current-gen titles to explore its technical capabilities. Provided the developer cares about it.

Game style and system

As we mentioned above, the game did not differ much in style and gameplay mechanics from the original part, as it maintained its original general orientation and violated the recent remake versions by adopting a control camera and portraying a third-person perspective, which tired me a bit of suspicious slow motion at first, but I soon got used to the controls, unfortunately it is not possible to play in first person.

The beauty is that many players will be fully aware of the basic story lines and events of the game, which will make them more immersed in the combat and gameplay and will try to explore the environment despite its limitations.

The developer tried to make the game world more spacious by adding more roads and some areas, as well as making the village larger than the original version. It added some unique exploration elements that we saw in God of War, which you'll feel in the Lake District.

The most prominent things in the gameplay mechanics that Capcom introduced in Remake Part IV are the elements of stealth and assassination, and the freedom to choose confrontations in many cases, in addition to the apparent diversity in gameplay in terms of performing attacks, performing assassinations, defending, and confronting the knife, which is one of the rich additions to the Play mechanic, in addition to exploring the surrounding environment in front of enemies.

To focus more on the rest of the important and miscellaneous notes related to the game, we will now discuss the most important advantages and disadvantages that we have seen in our long experience with it, which are as follows.
