After RE8 I thought "This is just Crapcom trying to do RE4 again. You can't just DO RE4 again." but it turns out you actually CAN do RE4 again if you just do it right. RE4make is super good.

The games are totally on opposite sides of the coin, RE4 was the start of an entire subgenre, while RE4make is the period at the end of route Capcom has been going since RE2make through RE7 and RE8. RE4 was imaginative and novel while RE4make is s summation of concepts already tested and iterated, and it does so marvelously. The parry in RE4make is obviously just a better iteration of Ethan's retarded looking block from RE7 and 8 and the gunplay is the same heavy stuff from RE2make with enemies that are fat and take a lot of shots and deny you space but tuned to RE4's action. This is honestly the best RE game Crapcom has made since the last time they made RE4 and, since it doesn't replace RE4 like REmake replaced RE1, you have TWO must play games named RE4.
