Saw a bit of the RE4 remake and I went from having zero interest in the game cause I played the original to death to having some interest because they specifically have a difficulty that's like "hey if you played the original to death you should just do this one", I'm a fan of when remakes acknowledge that they're remakes, whether it's mechanically like REmake moving around ambushes to specifically surprise veteran players, or narratively like whatever weird stuff they're doing with the FF7 remake(s).
Most of the other stuff grates on me though, like making Leon and Luis way less hot, making the Merchant a sidequest-giving chatterbox, and all the crafting/attache case mechanics they added.
