finished the Resident Evil 4 remake. Really enjoyed it, I thought they did a great job preserving the original while freshing things up and implementing changes that make sense. Ashley was more useful than in the original, Luis' story arc was more interesting and some of the boss battles were relatively tough too, especially Salazar. All in all, I'd say it's a blueprint for how to do a great remake. Like I've said before, I'd have loved for them to tackle other old RE games before doing 4, but it's hard to be unsatisfied with this. Capcom did a really good job.
sadly, I've read that Lily Gao, the voice actress for Ada Wong, has been harrassed online by "fans" who were unhappy because I guess they didn't like that it was a different voice than in the RE2 remake. Can't say I'm surprised, unfortunately. It just seems to me that a small portion of the gaming community consists of toxic #######s, and as always, that group is the loudest. Sad stuff.
