Players label Resident Evil 4 Remake negative, why?
While the evaluations of the specialized press are very high and range between 91 and 93, the user reviews are radically different. The next-gen and PC versions have scores ranging from 52 to 71 from the audience, while the PlayStation 4 port fares the worst with a score of 45. What happened?
The PS4 version’s extremely low ratings come as no surprise. We must remember that this port debuted with many performance problems such as frame drops, poor quality textures and very long loading times. It is normal for the audience to be disappointed by the technical drawbacks.
Now, why did the versions for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC receive low scores from the audience? It seems that many fans took a dim view of some of the changes that Capcom made.
Yes ok Resident Evil 4 Remake is very faithful to the original title, it did change some key elements that naturally alter the overall pacing of the main campaign. For example, Quick Times Events are conspicuous by their absence, and a boss battle has also been removed. Some of the reviews also point to the alleged censorship suffered by Ashley and other characters.
Despite the review bombing, the action horror video game has already proven to be a success. In just 2 days, he was able to sell 3 million units worldwide.
