Yeah, the (lack of) transformation sequences in the remake is the only real area where it totally drops the ball, in my opinion. I wonder if it was an engine limitation?

On the other hand, the Ganado’s taunts change based on whether they’re talking to Leon alone, Leon with Ashley/Luis, or Ada. It was a really cool moment when I heard “detras de vosotros” or “una forestera” the first time!

In conclusion, RE4Make is a land of contrasts.

Yes. Absolutely yes.

Thanks for the LP, even if I'm premature and you end up doing the DLC. Either way, I had a blast!

That's pretty cool! Looks like the game was going to be something completely different than what we got.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sad we didn't get the laser hallway or any reference to it in RE4make. If they leave the boulder punching out of a theoretical remake of 5, I don't know what they're doing anymore.

Ah, but consider: they can't leave out the boulder punching sequence. It gets a direct callout in Village, when Heisenberg refers to Chris as "that boulder punching rear end in a top hat"

They may have made a funny joke, but they joked themselves into a corner. If RE5make happens, they gotta have Chris punching a boulder or they're gonna make Heisenberg look insane (y'know, aside from the, uh, you know)

I want to believe, but they did intend to leave out the "Where's everyone going....bingo?" line originally so who knows :ohdear:

Also, good call on the hallucinations calling back to that Hookman stuff. I hadn't thought about that when I played through this one, but I think that makes sense. I also liked the throughline of that enemy, it felt like it gave a bit more direction to just following Ada around on the fringes of the main campaign. And good new ending music too, all in all a good start to the DLC.

Adler was completely intentional, like his name is House instead of Ho(l)mes and his best friend is Wilson not Watson.

edit: Also I really liked RE5, my best friend and I played that coop and had a blast except for that final boss fight...just, gently caress that battle

"Complete local saturation" is instantly on the all-time great RE lines list, and I completely missed it in my own playthrough :negative:

In my defense, that's because my audio setup decided to break in a way that mutes all the codec audio, so I just tuned out those conversations, so I'm really glad it got brought up here. Yeah, right up there with "that boulder-punching rear end in a top hat" for great RE5 callbacks.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
I'm not going to say that Ada's voice actress is overall bad, but her delivery for this entire video is lifeless. I think a lot of that falls on the shoulders of poor writing but so much of the delivery is flat as hell. For someone who is generally portrayed as a femme fatale, delivering lines like :effort: "So. He wants me to deliver the Amber. An Ill omen. *yawn* Who will pay it's dark cost?" It's such a waste.

Again, I think that's bad writing though.

Okay, I'm getting confused by the timeline here. Shouldn't more time have passed between Ada ringing the bell and the scene at the end of the video? Or am I just thinking about it too hard?

"Go though Leon's setpieces, but backwards!" is all right for a postgame unlockable that comes with the game, but I really don't think it was worth the :10bux: to actually buy the DLC.

Eh, I had fun, there are also a few gameplay differences that I miss in the main game now, which helps this stand apart. Ten bucks for a couple four hour playthroughs plus however much I'll revisit it in the future seems perfectly fine to me.

They always have been, even in the Original RE4, that's why the old game had the option to flip your items over, so you could point your gun to the left without flipping it upside down.

You two are trying to put a dangerous idea in my head, but luckily I'm fully aware the amount of care a Control LP deserves is currently beyond my means
