Resident Evil 4 DID NOT need a remake, but as far as remakes go, this is one of the best. It looks like Capcom actually listened to the criticisms that fans had about the Resident Evil 3 remake, because this game is simply incredible. It stayed incredibly faithful to the original, while adding new content to make it fresh and enjoyable. This is easily one of the best Resident Evil games, and I highly recommend you play both the original RE4 and the remake. I really hope Resident Evil 5 is the next to get remade! Probably my GOTY for 2023.
