The original RE4 is one of my favorite games, but even with the Skyrim amount of ports that exist today it isn't something I'd go back and play. If all this remake did was let you move and shoot at the same time I would be in love, but it's so much more. The story and color palette are darker and more dynamic, the action is improved, it looks gorgeous (the RE Engine continues to impress), and characterization is better across the board. It's simply a better game in every way, and for me this is peak Resident Evil. It balances the survival horror elements of the prior titles with the action elements that would come in later titles.
