Resident Evil 4 Remake is LAME and Everyone Will LOVE It.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is LAME and Everyone Will LOVE It. Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest character action games of all time. Despite being branded as survival horror, or even a 3rd person shooter, the classic Resident Evil 4 we all know and love actually has much more in common with Shinji Mikami's other beat em' up classic, Godhand, than it does the other entries in the Resident Evil Franchise. When Resident Evil 4 Remake was announced two years ago, I was sure that the original gameplay of the game (the reason why the game has endured and been so compelling) will "updated" for modern gamers. I was right. After playing the Chainsaw demo for Resident Evil 4 Remake I cannot say I am surprised or even dissapointed, because I saw this train coming for years now. In this video, I do recognize that I am in a minority when it comes to Resident Evil Fans and that my views on the game probably will only apply to a small sliver of the audience, but I think it's imporant to discuss in depth, as I do, the combat and design changes that have taken place in this "update" because Resident Evil 4 Remake is another symptom in this trend of crushing unique combat and level design in favor of the bland and endlessly repeated standard action game model that we see today. Before even posting this video, I am sure I will read a pile of comments that will state that this game should be taken "on it's own terms" and that holding it against the high standard of the original release is unfair or closed minded. To that I do want to say that if Resident Evil 4 Remake's gameplay and design should be held on it's own terms, why doesn't it use it's own design, it's own marketing, and it's own fanbase rather than plugging into an existing fanbase and then releasing a watered down fanfiction of the original? It's a comprimise to begin with anyway as the Remake is trying to throw all these design ideas and mechanics into a blender and then hoping the final result turns out somehow better than the tightly designed original. Sure Capcom own the IP and copyright, but artistic merit is not bought and held in a legal department. All that being said, I do understand that this Remake world is the universe we exist in, so I can understand why people will be interested in the game and will play it. I personally will play the full version of the game at some point, I'm sure it has a lot of fun moments the same way a cover song can be enjoyable to listen to. But the point I'm trying to get across in this video is that we currently exist in a very stale, lame, predictable gaming enviroment where even all time classics like Resi 4 are now being chewed up and spit out into digestible retreds. This video is not intended as a negative review outright, but since everyone else will talk about how perfect the remake is (I'm predicting) this vid will probably come across that way in comparison ha. Resident Evil 4 Remake is going to come out on Steam (PC), PS4/PS5, and Xbox Series X. Apparently, the Xbox 1X owners, such as myself, are being left out in the cold because that console is cursed.
