I am not terribly excited for the RE4 remake, as it's just a remake of that very overrated game called RE4.

To be honest, RE4 has no real ties to the previous games in the series, apart from a few forced in references and because Leon Kennedy returns. But besides that, it's an action shooter title. Even the creatures and the villagers leave things for you to pick up, which isn't what occurred in the other games, apart from with Mr. X and Nemesis.

It is a great game. But it's definitely not the best game in the series in terms of the atmosphere. That title probably goes to the original remake, that came out in 2002.
