With introductions out of the way, why do I think a RE4make would be detrimental to the namesake of, well, a legend?
Well, I already said it: context. Despite the fact that it's a very good game by itself, there is not a doubt in my mind that one of the major reasons it is held in such high regard is its status a pioneer of an entire generation of TPSs. And while it made sanse for RE2make and RE3make to get a technical makeover, RE4 literally invented the fucking wheel. Churning out yet another TPS strips this classic of context and makes it yet another shooter with zombies.

Also, and this may be subjective, RE4 worked because of its tone, I.e. fucking stupid.
The writing of the series has always been complete dogshit, but this game leaned into it. A LOT.
Leon is the stereotype of the action hero to a fault, jumping out of a 2nd floor window because ladders are for twats.
I get that some people like more of a serious atmosphere in a horror, but I'm honestly kinda fed up with most modern triple-As being completely humourless.
That, or the "Marvel quips" approach. Jesus Christ.

Rant done, reminder that this is not a doomsday order to not buy RE4make but an analysis with the explicit intent of giving you more appreciation of a classic game, kthxilybye
