Whatever happens, for the ps system, it needs move controls. The aiming is terrible otherwise. Just copy re5golds scheme.
While they are at it, just make it VR.

Resident Evil 4 will appear on future systems. How should Capcom go about it: simple port, remaster or remake?
- Thread starter AuthenticM
- Start date
And that's when you start asking too much of people who probably don't have the vision Mikami has. The core mechanics is why the encounter design is so perfect. You start running and gunning and it starts to become every other game. Can a game be done as masterfully as RE4 with running and gunning, yes, has it ever been done, nope. Do I trust some new team at capcom to do it, not exactly.
This
If they're going to remake it, they need to come up with combat and movement mechanics that feel modern, but are somehow better than RE4's. Good luck with that.
It's the least in need of a remake. Updated textures and maybe some limited new content would be a welcome addition, but I don't see the need for the game to start over from the beginning. It's the best that it can be.
I've bought this game several times for different platforms already. If it's being released on future platforms I expect them to make a proper remake, like RE2. But I think it's a bit early for that. I'd prefer they do Code: Veronica first.
Why do people keep saying this?
It's not gonna happen
RE4 is still modern
If anything those fan made HD textures is all it really needs.

Came here to say this. Love the atmosphere of this game but it could definitely do with modernising the graphics and gameplay.
Is this a wish thread or a realistic thread?
In a fantasy world I'd prefer a REengine remake, maybe make the enemies actually challenging like just have them NOT stand 5 feet away and ask politely to be shot. I want actual sprinting towards you and burrying a hatchet into your head if you don't shoot first. Also the gore engine in RE2 would be excellent.
However realistically Capcom are just going to port the same game over and over and not do as good of job as some people doing an HD mod...

Well I'm betting on next gen being backwards compatible with this gen so I guess a remake it is.
It holds up very well, and the ports are nice, so I think RE4 is fine as is. It's in a sweet spot like say Mario 64, where mechanically and aesthetically it's as good today as ever. I say no need for further RE remakes after 2 (which also holds up, but in a different style).
Remake it.
I've play it until 100% trophy & port it over & over again to other systems without something new are boring.
Make it option-able improvements; so could choose either original game or new modes.
360 degree camera, aiming while shooting, customizable button layouts, instant weapon select via d-pad, make Ada Wong, Krauser, etc playable in single player, new costumes, anything.
Just do something new for it. : /

Remake that retains the overall feel of the game while adding in modern QOL improvements like slo-mo aim assist, HUD waypoints and path finding, and unlimited ammo laser guns.
Tbh, a port of the Gamecube original is what I want. No "remastering", no remaking...actually, the only way I'd accept a RE4 remake if the Man himself, Shinji Mikami, directs himself, which is probably not gonna happen :/
Yeah I think this is the right way to go. I'd rather see new RE releases post-REmake 2, I want to see the current Capcom take a crack at the horror tps.
RE4 is my favorite game and I play through it once a year, but I'd be happy to take on new adventures of old Leon.
I completely trust current developers at Capcom so I want a full blown REmake. I firmly believe RE4 can be a much better game remade by current standarts.
Tho I defintelly want RE3 and Code Veronica remakes first!

If the Remake will be treated as an " alternate vision " to RE4 , then sure why not , Different visions and viewpoints for old projects is always interesting and refreshing
If it will be treated as " A Remake that will surpass/Replace the original " ........ Then I fear that it will be a huge pressure on whoever works on the Remake at that time . Nothing is immortal of course , but Surpassing the original RE4 is at least isn't an easy Job , But Of course I hope it happens and If current Capcom is still there at that time then I trust them

A perfect game needs no remake. A simple port or remaster like the one that one guy is doing for PC is enough.
If we really need more RE remakes, RE3 and Code Veronica should be prioritized. Especially Code Veronica.
Game is ugly as sin and has terrible pacing issues IMO.

just remaster it with better graphics, doesn't need much else. Focus on making Resident Evil 8 another good one. Or if you want the same style as this, make Resident Evil 4-2 or somesort of sidestory.
The original isn't going anywhere so go crazy with a remake if you want. It doesn't really "need" it though.
It won't need to? It'll already be on PS5/XB2/SuperSwitch. They release the game on multiple systems not because they love re releases, but because they want to get their games on as many devices as possible. It's the same things SE do.
I feel like any remake would miss the point of what made RE4 so perfect, and I don't want to run the risk of them only using the remake going forward and not porting forward the original anymore like what's happened with the PS1 trilogy.
I think they should just stop after the RE2 remake. RE4 is already pretty much perfect and any significant gameplay changes will most likely just ruin the game.
Capcom should collaborate with the peeps from the RE4HD project and make it official. Those people made an excellent job with the game so far.
