RE4 is in my top ten and I've always been a little skeptical of the prospect of a remake because it still plays well.
This was a little disappointing because it doesn't seem to retain any of the B-movie cheesiness of the original, taking itself way too seriously for something so ridiculous. And Salazar has been turned into an old man when he was a funny little guy
who was "...only 20 years old." while making
weird post 9/11 commentary. I shouldn't be surprised considering Capcom seems to have no sense of humor when it comes to RE.
With that said, the gameplay looks fucking incredible and building upon what they've done with the previous remakes. I guess I'll buy it? It'll look beautiful and play great but it just won't have a soul which is just as bad if not worse than the graphics and gameplay being off the mark considering how wonderful the original is.
