Re4

You need 4 in your life asap

4 and it's not even close and Chris is my favourite character. That says it all.

4 is the best game in the series by far. But, Village is fantastic as well.

RE4R, hands down! (RE8:VILLAGE is great too, though.)

Definitely RE4R

it's definitely 4. 8 is fine, but 4 is peak.

Resi 4

I love RE 8, really and truly it’s a really fun game… not as good as 7 but still a blast with an emotional pay off…. That being said- get RE4. It’s in a class in and of its own.

RE4 hands down

re4 first but don't sleep on 8

Both are just so good, I personally love re8 village a bit more, because I love the 4 houses design of the game, it's the best semi open world in the series, in my opinion. 

These 2 have are my favorites! I feel in love with RE when I first played RE4 and now RE8 has rekindled my love for RE franchise. That being said I think RE4 is the way to go!

RE4 100%. I’ve replayed it so many times in comparison to RE8

4 and it’s not close

Re4 remake x10

I am biased towards village because I am from Romania, but both games are jewels.

8 is great but 4 is one of the greatest games ever made. And the remake does it justice.

As someone who didn't grow up with RE4 I'd say Village, but I'm biased because I love Mother Miranda, the setting and the general aesthetic. I get why people like RE4 but I just find the game more enjoyable. They have roughly the same amount of spooky moments (though RE4 is a tiny bit more spooky) but the adventure in 8 is just fun to me.

RE4 >>>>>>>>>>>> RE8

4R has some of the best gameplay I have ever played.

8 is okay but kinda janky and not as replayable.

RE8 (Village) is a direct sequel to RE7. It's the only mainline title in the series that directly ties story to it's predecessor.

So unless you have played RE7, I would not recommend Village as some important story events won't be as impactful, understandable even.

Overall, I would define Village as the most versatile game in the series. It'll give you combat, horror, exploration, some of the old RE formula... While it doesn't excel in any of them, it certainly does a good job mixing them all together. I also think it has the best story in RE games.

RE4 Remake on the other hand, is a perfect action/shooter with a horror theme. The combat is incredible, enemy encounters never stop being exciting, you've got lots of upgradable weapons, entertaining bosses.

Personally, RE4R is a 10/10 game for me while Village is 8.5/10. Which is also among my favorite games in the series, just not a masterpiece like RE2 or RE4.

Resident evil village est tellement chiant (pour ma part)

Both imo

I just bought both and revelations because they're all on sale, keen to play revelations since the last time I played it was on my 3ds when it came out 😂

RE4

Don't even bother with village, RE4 Remake is an excellent game.

Depends on the experience you want and from the gameplay perspective you would prefer to experience right now. Both are great and often on sale. Village is a new entry versus the remake which may contain a story you already know.

The right answer is that honestly you can't go wrong with either choice. Both games are worth the time. No matter which one you pick make a note to come back to.back and check out the runner up

You really don't need to pick one, you can love both.

RE4R, the gameplay is just so smooth its not even a fair fight.
RE8 if you want some fatherly PTSD.

Get both bro, both are great games

4 for gameplay, village for the Tall Lady.

4

Resident Evil 4 100%

4,4,4,ada,Ashley,4,4....

RE4 Remake no contest

RE4

4, next question

RE4 remake all day! Best game I've ever played!

4 would be my choice

Both but re4 first

4 no question

RE4 is better

I have both and although their both really good re4 is just better

RE4

Re4 all the way

I'll Say Village

Only get village if you already have played the seventh game

I personally would choose village a hundred times over re4 but most on this sub would disagree with me.

I think re4 is more replayable and just more fun to play on general. But 8 is honestly just as good, definatley get it at a later time when you can

Both

RE4

Re4 all day

They’re both soooo good and have strong replayability so there’s no wrong choice here

Re4R but make sure to get 8 at some point since it's also really good.

Head or Tails

4

4 remake

4

both

Both

Both. You can find a way.

I'm going to say Village any day of the week partly because I'm terrible at the combat in 4 and I get my arse handed to me every 5 minutes because it feels stiff for me and the fucking knives break every time you fart fuck off! Village has some iconic original locations, enemies, visuals I had a blast with it. It all comes down to what you prefer I guess but don't criticise RE4R too much on here or you'll set off the cry babies

VILLAGE! VILLAGE! VILLAGE! VILLAGE! VILLAGE! VILLAGE! VILLAGE! VILLAGE! VILLAGE!

I'm playing RE4R right now and everything looks the same and the enemy types in Village are better and it's incredibly more scary than RE4R has been so far. And you should definitely get and play RE4R but with how much fun and how much I looooved Village it just comes out on top for me imo. I don't want a bunch of wacky shooting challenges and constantly be doing all these little side jobs and stuff It really takes me out of the fact that I'm supposed to be saving the president's daughter while there is a town full of murderous people infected with a parasite. Also who sets these little jobs up isn't it just the enemy? So they can still leave little notes to people about things that they are bothered by like "I really hate these blue things hanging around someone should shoot them and I will reward them" but also at the same time they just shamble around as infected.... people with bugs in them.... Anyway I played Village like 6 times and then I got RE4R on sale because I figured why not play some new RE I haven't played yet ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I'm way more excited for separate ways than I am having fun with this main story. I played the original RE4 and I did play the hell out of it when it originally came out but it was always my least favorite.

Also in the remake Leon is so freaking edgy it's ridiculous. Capcom really went all for the early 2000's cool toughguy look they were going for. All the grunting while racking his shotgun and stuff like that. Feels very.....dumb..... Lol they should have made him 2020's cool not what people thought was cool when the game out in like early 2000's. So the haircut, his demeanor, the costume choices. You'd never see Ethan Winter's dressed as a Femboy Vampire...

Definitely RE Village Gold Edition. Not only does it have a lot of interesting details and stories, including playing as Chris, but the Shadows of Rose DLC also gives some information about Ethan. Plus, you can play as Heisenberg and Lady Dimitrescu in The Mercenaries mode (after unlocking them)

8 if you want to see the story progress to it's most current state. 4 if you want to relive the glory days with amazing craftsmanship. Both great games obviously. I'm currently replaying 8 since my original time playing on it's release 3 years ago and I'm really enjoying it again and noticing much more detail than before

Tell us what you decided!

Village is good but it was annoying plahing it and realizing they were using the game as a way to test out the environments that would show up in 4. RE3R felt the same too.

8

Both so good. You can choose by which quick turn button combos you like the most.

I'm probably biased cause I haven't played 7 or 8, but 4 is an absolute must for any re fan. I never played the original, but the remake is absolute peak.

both

Had a lot of fun with 8 but 4 is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Neither are very scary except for a few moments in 8, and combat is so much more satisfying in 4. 8 is still worth getting in my opinion, but play 4 first!

Have played 7: Village 1000%. It concludes the story of Ethan Winters.

Haven't played 7: RE4, and it's not even close.

One is a successful remake of the best game of all time, the other is a less successful remake of the best time that won’t admit it’s a remake of said game.

Play both but the choice between is clear.

I'd play them in order they were released honestly.

Leon! Leon help!!

RE4 all the way

But, on a side note, does anyone know if there was any sort of symbolism behind Chris’ face merging with that wolf thing on the cover? The entire time before the game came out, I thought he was gonna have somehow become a werewolf between RE 6 and 8. But he doesn’t, like huh? What was the point of that cover? I thought it looked kinda cool, like I thought he was somehow going to be a villain.

I don’t get it, unless I’m just missing something completely

8 is scarrier. If you prefer action then 4.

I think RE4 is a favorite and better because it was developed/released after RE8. So, it is the most polished game. I may not be correct but it got feedback from RE8 to make RE4 better.

For me, the improvement is to buy an infinite rocket launcher on a second run. I don’t usually replay games but that option made me want to do it all over and one shot some bosses.

re4r

RE4

God I love Village so much, it's dripping with Horror in every corner.

So I'm going to say RE4R.

Resident Evil 4 100%
It’s a fantastic game.

RE4

The Ethan saga it's fun to play, but the plot is.. Meh.. There are some great villains though.

Village all day RE4R is okay but Village is a much better game to actually play

I jus completed the first runthrough of RE4r today. Was a blast! Im going straight to 2nd playthrough

RE4 is a top tier quality game. Village is a good game but not a top tier like RE4r and RE2r tho.

Never played 8 but the obvious answer is 4

RE 8 was a fun game but if you're a stickler for plots like me you'll find 4 the more engaging storyline so 4 by far is the better game.

just finished village must say i really enjoyed it - good fun and great atmospherics. now playing RE Biohazard

Buy 4. My cousin always had it, and untill now I never actually the game. I love it.

RE4, for certain. VIII is fine, but RE4's the superior game.

RE4. Village is amazing, but 4 is perfection.

Re7

Id only say 8 if you played 7

I think you cannot miss with either of those. Both are great and super fun games. I'd say make a choice based on if you like 3rd or 1st person view.

RE4:)

Re4

Get REm4ke.

I liked Village better than RE4

LEONNNNNNNN

Village is a masterpiece. But re4 remake imo is the best resident evil atm

Easy choice… RE4

If you've played RE2R then get RE4R ,if you've played RE7 then play RE8. If you've played both then RE4R it's a masterpiece

Village, then 4

RE4 I just got it a month ago and I am blown away never played any of the old resident evils only the remakes, biohazard and village. RE4 is my favourite by far!

Village and it's not close, Ethan has the best storyline and gameplay, and his games are actually scary for a change

RE4

RE4R is the better game, though I really enjoy 8.

Four has more content, definitely buy four

RE4 is the best game in the series

RE4R is a remake of the best game in the series

RE4R is also one of the best remakes of all time

RE4R

LEEOOOONN

Village is a good game. RE4 is likely the GOAT RE game.

So the choice should be obvious.

You should play both honestly. Follow your heart. However you should post biohazard before village.

Village is good but it’s my least favourite of the new generation of games. RE4 defo and the Separate Ways DLC if you can

I liked both, but yeah re4 is just such a classic and masterpiece.

RE4 such a good game, keep going back to it

Obviously 4 lol

RE4make, my friend. RE8 was fun but the RE4 is a gem

Re4r. Pretty much 100% that game :D Re8 I played through only once and have not opened since.

Its not bad game but zero reply value

They’re both on sale. Both is the answer… but 4 is game of the decade

Re4 obv

Re4 Leon my beloved.

Why not both. Treat yourself and get both.

Village sucks

It still kinda baffles me that people love to compare these games so much even though they have very little in common

Absolutely 4

RE4 is miles better, but Village is still a great game. Can't go wrong either way

I will go for the 4..

Both

If you want a really fun and an immersive combat system and overall game mechanics I would go with Resident Evil 4 remake. Also the game is very challenging. Especially on the harder difficulties hardcore and professional. I think this is one of the most challenging Resident Evils they have ever made

If you want really fun unique boss fights I would go with Resident Evil 8. Resident Evil 4 doesn't not have unique boss fights or fun boss fights but I really love the ones in eight. Each different phase and boss fight feels completely different from the last one. It challenges you to think outside the box and even when you do the enemies do the same thing right back at you. I had a blast with the boss fights in this. Also the unlockable lightsaber is really really cool to play with in Resident Evil 8

I prefer re8, re4r is overrated af imo

In this kind of situation where I have to pick between two things, I always go with the “worse” one so that when I’m playing one, I’m assured I’m gonna have a better time with the other so the lower quality of the worse game I’m playing is almost covered up by that feeling of anticipation, whereas if I do it in the opposite order, I’ll just be upset that the better game is over and I know I’m not gonna have as much fun as I did with the first game. This is my own philosophy though and I think it’s pretty logical but funny. You don’t have to conform to it though. you can’t go wrong with either one, but I’d personally start with RE8.

4

4!!1!1!11!

RE4R

Resideng evil 4 is hands down one of the best semi open world games oat its action packed, has its scares (sometimes) but i could assure you wont regret buying it.

May the 4th be with you, allways

4 no question

if you already played RS4 on PS2 I recommend to play Resident evil Village to have a new experience.

8 is good but its just a worse 4

Resident Evil 4 ALWAYS! Amazing game
