We've scoured trends to see what people are searching for and have compiled the top results in this guide. Is Resident Evil 4 remake hard? Is it scary? Is Ada coming back? how about the length? We will answer these questions and more right here.
Is Resident Evil 4 Remake Hard?
Compared to past Resident Evil games, like 2, for example, RE4 is pretty forgiving regarding difficulty. Ammo is all over the place, and it's pretty easy to come across healing herbs and other items that can bring Leon's health back up.
And since RE4 is more linear than other titles, players will be able to save as much as they want, as long as there is a typewriter nearby. There's also an easy mode to choose at the start for those that want to enjoy the story and take it slow. Of course, on the flip side, there's a really hard mode called Professional that'll give returning players a run for their money.
How Long Is It?
Most players will take about 10-12 hours to wrap up the main story of the Resident Evil 4 remake. Although, with there being side quests this time around, players might end up spending over 15 hours scouring different areas to find all collectibles and such.
Is Resident Evil 4 Remake Scary?
Resident Evil 4 is definitely more action-oriented than other games in the series, but don't think that that makes the game any less scary. There are plenty of jumpscares to be found, as well as tense enemy encounters that can frighten many people. Even those that have played RE4 before will find surprises here and there that are not for the faint of heart.
Is There Multiplayer?
The Resident Evil 4 remake is a single-player-only game. There are times when Ashley will need to be controlled, but players will never have to control two characters at once. Capcom also has not stated that multiplayer will arrive post-launch.
What's the Release Time for Resident Evil 4 Remake?
Capcom has not confirmed the release time for the Resident Evil 4 remake just yet, but if it's anything like past titles, players should be able to hop into their digital copy at 9 PM PT the night before the launch, which would be on Thursday, March 23.
Can I Play Resident Evil 4 Remake in VR?
Capcom has confirmed that a free post-launch update for the RE4 remake will make it compatible with PSVR2. However, for those that don't want to wait, the original RE4 is available in VR for the Meta Quest.
Is Resident Evil 4 Remake Good?
Game Rant's 4.5/5 review of the Resident Evil 4 remake closes with this statement:
Even without its extra game modes, the Resident Evil 4 remake is still phenomenal. It offers nonstop visceral combat and clever changes that help it feel both new and familiar at the same time. The fact that the Resident Evil 4 remake is not as content-complete as previous iterations of the game hurt it, but what's there is still so good that most will be able to forgive it.
On Opencritic, the Resident Evil 4 remake is currently sitting at a very positive overall score of 92, and that's aggregated from almost 100 critic reviews. The remake is now one of the best-reviewed games of 2023 so far. So yes, it's safe to say that the Resident Evil 4 remake is very good.
Is it Coming to Switch?
Sorry, Nintendo fans, but the Resident Evil 4 remake is not coming to the Switch. However, the HD remaster is available. There's also a collection on Switch that includes RE4, RE5, and RE6.
Is Ada and Separate Ways Coming Back?
Ada is indeed returning in the Resident Evil 4 remake, but her standalone campaign has unfortunately been cut.
What About The Mercenaries Mode?
The Mercenaries Mode is coming back, allowing players the chance to shoot a ton of infected monsters to rack up high scores, but it's not going to be available at launch.
Resident Evil 4 launches on March 24 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
