I wish I could agree, but as someone that only played the original for a first time a few years before the remake…I just can’t. Even for the solid improvements of its time, it still feels so janky and dated in a bunch of ways.
It’s funny, every time I play OG RE4 I find myself missing the remake and every time I play the remake I find myself missing the OG. Remake’s gameplay is perfect and so addicting with the addition of the parry mechanic. If I could put all of remake’s mechanics into OG RE4, along with the remake’s version of Ashley, it would be the ultimate game for me. The style story and tone of OG is still superior.

The remake is great but over time I’m still going to return to the original. It’s perfection.
