Aside from a more presidential wardrobe change that reflects ther colder climate, there are also new changes to how she can act. The daughter of the President of the United States and your main rescue objective, Ashley Graham has undergone a few changes from the classic RE4 experience. Similarly, little charms can be equipped that also provide their own passive perks to let you customize your playstyle.

Different case types seem to have their own passive bonuses, like increasing certain ammo drop rates. Resident Evil 4 Remake seems to be taking things a step further, by letting you purchase additional styles and charms for your case. Leon's main method of inventory management in Resident Evil 4 comes from the Attache Case, letting you move items around to create more space, and buy size upgrades from the Merchant. These requests can be turned into the Merchant for rewards, which seem to make them a worthwhile endeavour. These come in the form of shiny blue notes posted in certain areas that will task you with everything from destroying blue medallions (a twist on the classic game's collectibles), to defeating certain enemies in places you may have already visited. While the ability to back-track through Resident Evil 4's village and castles was significantly improved over previous game, the Remake is taking things a step further by introducing optional requests you can undertake while exploring. New weather and more distinct times of day have also been seen, making the night time chapters harder to see, and also including torrential downpours of rain (though a certain obfuscating weather sequences seen in previews is getting dialed back in a Day 1 Patch.) In these areas, Leon may take out his flashlight to slowly explore darkened woods or abandoned homes, and change the pace up from the more traditional action sequences of RE4. In an effort to make Resident Evil 4 connect with its survival horror roots, the remake includes new scenarios and areas not present in the classic version of the game to heighten tension, exploration, and set the mood.

This seems to have largely been done away with, and while there are still prompts to mash buttons in some circumstances (like getting grabbed by an enemy), it appears purely cutscene-specific QTEs have been replaced with different events or scenarios, like the fight against Krauser. In addition, it seems that you can also find generic Kitchen Knives to use as a backup when your Combat Knife has been broken, though it's likely they have much less durability and cannot be repaired when broken.Ī recurring theme in Resident Evil 4 was in the inclusion of certain quick time events that would prompt you to react quickly in a cutscene and press prompted button to avoid death.

Stabbing unaware enemies from behind (reduces durability a bit).

Stabbing down enemies to stop them from getting up (reduces durability moderately).Stabbing enemies to get out of being grabbed (reduces durability greatly).Blocking attacks (reduces durability a bit).Certain new actions that you can take that we've seen so far include: If broken, you ll likely have to speak to the Merchant to get it repaired. The Combat Knife now has its own durability meter, and certain actions will cause it to lose durability (some more than others).

In addition to being able to slash at enemies, you can now ready the knife in your hand to parry incoming attacks - which seem to include blocking melee weapon attacks from enemies like the Villagers, tossed weapons, and even a chainsaw! For many of these attacks, you can wait until the last moment to ready your knife and parry to stagger the attacker, opening them up for a melee strike from Leon when prompted. While Leon could use his trusty combat knife at will in the classic Resident Evil 4 to slice at enemies and boxes alike, the knife has several new features in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
