Resident Evil 4 Remake vs The Last of us Part 1 - Which is better game?

2 many remakes 4 sure

They’re not really alike.

It would've been better to compare Dead Space remake with RE4 remake.

RE 4 inspired Dead Space gameplay, vice versa Dead Space inspired RE 4 to ditch tank controls.

Resident Evil is fun.

It's a Bond movie, with zombies. With hot looking chicks with guns, and 9 foot titty vampires and stuff.

Last Of Us is left-wing propaganda where all the zombies are basically Donald Trump. Never playing it.

RE4 is the better game.

TLOU is the better movie.

@R4gn4r0k: Resident Evil ditched the stop-and-shoot mechanics because of backlash against RE5, so they ditched it in RE6 and every subsequent mainline RE game and remake. I doubt Dead Space had anything to do with that.

And was nothing wrong with it to begin with.

Just nubbywubs.

Yeah, throw this thread in the "WTF" bin

Ghost, I really like it better when you didn't post much and here you are starting to post more. What happened to you being less active?

Ez-Pz Resident Evil 4 Remake hands down.

Anything over 10% for The Last of Us should be a victory for The Last of Us due the nature of this anti-Sony subforum.

RE4 is one of the 15 greatest games of all time and the GOTY of 2005.

TLOU is the #1 greatest game of all time.

RE4 is a far better game.

elaborate pls

TLOU

Bashing the keyboard and typing shit as the general realization as to the futility of life gradually sets in.

RE4, it's just more of a game period.

If you asked me this question before the remake of RE4 came out, i would've told you that RE4 was a better game for its time than TLOU was in 2013 or now. But after RE4R, i find TLOU to be better, and TLOU2 is even better than the original.

Nostalgia did a lot of the heavy lifting with RE4 for me. I remembered it being pretty open with a lot of exploration, lots of difficult and well designed puzzles, a pretty long title with great level design, and so on. But after RE4R, that's mostly not true. Its very linear just like all RE titles (which is a shame. proper exploration with little side stories would add a lot to this franchise), there's barely any puzzles, and only 1 or 2 that i would even consider as "good", the game felt very short, and only the village portion of the game was good when it comes to the level design, and even then, not all of it was great. So while the game is still great, and absolutely worth playing, it is nowhere near god tier status like i used to think this game was for all these years. Used to call this as the best remake to date, nah, Demon's Remake is still the superior remake.

@uninspiredcup: lol i feel you man.

@hardwenzen: feel the same, apart from i didn't play it first time round. so i didn't have nostalgia goggles on when i played the remake. and it's good and a lot of fun no doubt but nothing close to the god tier status a lot on here claim. and yeah as a remake, demon's is top dog, now that for me is god tier, and that's another i didnt play first time round so nostalgia again not in the equation

If RE4-R was sony or naughty dog game.

the entire village prolouge would be scripted where loen doesnot have guns and walking and walking escaping zombies. you wouldnot get into combat for atleast 1 and half hour. once you get combat than again interrupt by walking segments ala doing nothing.

but Thank God its capcom game thus its pure gamey game instead of trying to be shitty movie.

If it was a sony game, it would have better level design.

LOL. better design. theres no design in sony games.

scripted with walk talk walk talk. trash.

Did you knew that TLOU2 has at least as much "gameplay" as RE4 has? But why i am even bothering, you're a Sony Lover since you've played TLOU remake.

Re4 has better combat mechanic but i enjoyed tlou more. Tbh i dont think its fair to compare both games as they are completely different.

Since you don't game, that should be right up your alley, sniper4321

I consider the OG GCN RE4 (not the remake, which, while excellent, does nowhere near best the original) to be the better game, but I’m preferential to TLoU.

The original RE4 is a masterclass in game design, but I’m more taken by TLoU‘s characterization, exhilarating encounter design, pacing and story. It’s just an overall more fulfilling experience for me. But in terms of it being, objectively, a better “game”, RE4 takes the cake.

Remake is better than original RE4.

better shooting, better controlling, even better story (which is subjective), more PC friendly and can be play with KB/M unlike original, no more tank control and stop while shoot.

Hard disagree.

The original had the benefit of being conceptualized and executed within its own parameters. Everything in that game is perfectly considered, balanced, and executed flawlessly to compliment everything else. The interplay of game systems, pacing, enemy and encounter design, weapon balance, resource allocation, all of it. If you take a real close examination of it, it’s remarkable how well executed and considered it is. I can barely see fault with it, and yes, that includes your favorite part: no movement when shooting. As great as the remake is, it takes liberties to the formula, and some of its design extrapolations are detrimental to the overall experience because they were not conceived and integrated at inception. They were overlayed and imposed on top of it. Pacing, for one example, suffers, given the inclusion of superfluous side quests, which water down and slow the impeccable flow of the original.

It’s in no way a bad game and there are improvements, but taken as a whole, the r4make is, IMO, the inferior version.

my friends you are just blinded by nastolgia. play both side by side. Remake is clearly better. original was very overrated game.

the game barely playable on PC with KB/M up until 2012 HD mod and even for that time it become outdated.

original also have QTE segments especially QTE knife fight replace with proper knife fight.

RE4, obviously. You play it more.

@ghosts4ever: You should probably read his post instead of just dismiss it as nostalgia. Many others prefer original RE4 over the remake, myself included, for the reasons Mirko mentioned.

Regurgitate "move while shoot" is just dumb as ****.

@Litchie: because you were kid when original release and blown way by it. Cant see how much remake imporve upon original.

beside RE4 remake is probably best Third person action game since Mafia 1 original.

The OG RE4 is brilliant in every respect, and the game doesn't need the benefit of nostalgia even if I hold fond memories of it.

I'm not focused on specifics, my argument is for the collective. There are things in the remake I prefer (such as weapon swapping without opening inventory), but anything that is taken from the past and built upon risks upsetting delicate balance and design considerations that were carefully thought out and tested during the original's creation. You're slapping shit onto a formula that was as close to perfect as we're going to get. There are specifics in the remake I could note such as again, the pacing and side quest designs muddle the flow, I don't think the crafting adds anything needed, removing the laser on all weapons was utter stupidity, some voice acting and boss battles are inferior...(cough, Del Lago, cough).

OG RE4 is the whole package, and it lands everything it sets out to do flawlessly, or IMO, as best as could have been achieved given its goals. When I play the remake, I find myself asking numerous times, "why fix something that wasn't broke?"

Nice to see that there are others who feel the same, I don't think mine is a majority opinion. I like the remake, it's excellent, but in contrast, there's no way I could ever give it the nod over the original.

My point is. Original RE4 was not PC friendly. it didnot work with KB/M. Remake is more PC friendly.

@ghosts4ever: we’re discussing which game is better, not the specific features per platform. OG RE4 was designed for the GCN, it should be judged on those merits.

Outside of the fact of the person you are discussion this issue with, wouldn't that be futile since it just opinions?🤔

A discussion is not pointless because we’re expressing opinions. I do it as I enjoy the exchange, not to win or achieve any other goal.

RE4 has always been better than Last of Us in general. RE4's campaign is way more fun and replayable

@MirkoS77: 👍🏽

TLOU was basically Naughty Dog taking the Uncharted formula and instead of climbing and guns blazing, it's more stealth and crouching. Instead of a goofy comedic tone, they pulled a 180 and created a more serious and somber tone with TLOU.

Nothing like RE4 at all. Both are in my top 10 games of all time, however.
