I was kind of wondering what everyone was upset about. Now, I was never a big gamer. I’ve always been a sort of edge-of-the-field game player. In my adult life (I grew up with Nintendo, then N64, then Xbox 360, and in the past couple years got an Xbox…S? Apparently whichever is the cheaper/shittier one. Because I wanted to try the resident evil 4 remake and I couldn’t get it because I needed the OTHER X|S version. Dumb.), I’ve really only played GTA IV, fifa, and then rdr2. I love all of those games and still replay them when I want to game.

So, that’s where I’m coming from. But watching this trailer, I just thought it looked maybe a little stiff and the graphics just okay—but with all the remakes and everything, are they looking better than rdr2? That’s one of the—no, scratch that. That’s the best looking game I’ve ever played. When I first started playing it last year, I was literally playing for hours and hours because it felt like…I was actually out in nature. I got lost in that game. Loved it. Still love it. My favorite game, for sure. Even though I’ve been playing fifa for a long time with friends.

Where am I even going with this at this point. I guess the question is how much better have games gotten since rdr2? What is the standard of quality for these remakes? I really loved The Suffering back on 360. That would be a cool remake.

Do you think it’s worth upgrading to a PS5 or an Xbox…x…or s…whichever is the higher quality one that would allow me to play RE4. Or at this point should I just wait for the next gen so I can play the NEW gta when it comes out next year? I’m basically a n00b and the gaming world is so complex these days. I love horror games and stuff like that, so how worth it is the new RE4?

It really depends on what you're looking for. Is it worth upgrading for the new graphics? Maybe not, but if you have a lot of games you'd like to play on them then it's totally worth the upgrade. RE4 is really awesome, but I'd just suggest looking at reviews on youtube and seeing if it's worth getting.

If you do pick one up I suggest getting Alan Wake 2 as well, the horror atmosphere and graphics are amazing.

Yeah, Alan wake 2 was the other I really wanted to play. I hear it’s amazing
