I think the worst sin of the RE4 remake is coming out in the current year. Any faggot on youtube has the audacity to think their 3 hour "video essay" matters in the great scheme of things. That goes for all games really, like if Capcom is preocupied that the one little detail your autistic ass pointed out at 2:38:32 where a pixel was out of place is going to make a difference.
If the RE1 remake came out today there would still be people bitching about the smallest of things and how great the original was. The problem with 4 is that it had an uphill battle from the start trying to live up to the original. The RE1 remake blows the original out of the water so spectacularly its doesn't even matter discussion, the remake is pretty much accepted as the best way to play RE1 by far.
I don't think that was ever going to happen with 4, the gap between RE1 and the original is the Great Canyon but the one between 4 and the remake is more like the gap you have to keep in mind when boarding the subway or a train. The good thing with 4 is that the original with the HD reconstruction patch, the best way to play it imo, is still there on steam, right next to the remake.
And yes I played 1 when it came out (the ps1 version not the gc remake) and I pretty much erased it from my mind when 2 came out, I never thought about 1 or its plot until the remake, while 2 stayed as one of my favorites until its remake came out and blew it out of the water too. Even with 4, if you're old enough and read the Gamespot forums back in the day, you'll remember that even back then some people bitched about it saying that it strayed too far from the original. In fact, its funny to remember that people bitched about Silent Hill 2 when it came out too, even with Silent hill 3 saying the formula have gotten stale. People bitched about Majora's Mask saying it was too weird and different from Ocarina. This is to say that this "new game bad old game good" bandwagon shit from people who I'm pretty sure haven't played the originals themselves while saying everyone else hasn't is nothing new.
I know its almost inconceivable to the average zoomer but those game that are considered masterpieces now still had their share of retards criticizing pixels that were out of place in 2004, is just that the people doing it now are x10 times more embarrasing. I get it RE4 remake isn't perfect but its almost like if people attached their worth as a person to a fucking game of all things, be it to praise it or to shit on it.
