> Games like the RE series get remade so that they earn money off of previous investments again. Seems a bit disingenuous. The RE2 remake was fantastic and significantly different from the original in terms of gameplay. Remaking a game seems very different from remaking a movie. I've got high hopes for RE4's upcoming remake. I can't imagine being excited for a remade movie barring some reason to think it will differ. The lion king is the weirdest remake of them all, being mostly shot for shot but with weird CGI.

Are there any details on how different re4 remake will be from the original? After hearing it announced I just kinda rolled my eyes since it's not all that old (maybe because playing it feels like yesterday) and a remake of an existing title. But then, to your point, remembered the re2 remake and thought, "eh they'll probably make re4 worthwhile/even better".

  RE4 will be 18 years and 3+ console generations old when the remake comes out. It just feels like less because it's been re-released a ton in the intervening time, and because it was such a high point for the series it was still the main point of comparison for 5-Village.

  Details are very light at this point. There was some noise about capcom moving heads around because they wanted to make sure it felt like it was doing things differently but who knows. There's a barebones teaser trailer that doesn't show anything unfamiliar at this point. I feel like they've been on a roll since revelations 2 / RE7 so I'm optimistic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5Ic2z3_xp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5Ic2z3_xp0

Yeah a better point would be all the times they have re-released RE4. Originally released for the gamecube and then ported to: PS2, PC, Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, Mobile, PC again, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, VR

The RE4 remake for Oculus is truly an amazing experience.
