Shing!

Easily among the best of the best was the Remake’s introduction of a proper parrying system to RE4’s existing knife melee combat, allowing Leon to knock crossbow bolts and lobbed axes out of the air, as well as deflecting swipes of blades and even chainsaws close-up.

As demonstrated inthis videofrom modder qingsheng, the Remake counterattack mod works just like it does in this year’s remake, allowing mid-noughties Leon to bat incoming projectiles out of the air like his twenties-something descendant.

The parry change is part of a wider-ranging mod tool for OG RE4, which released earlier this year and was spotted recently byPC Gamer. TheRE4 UHD Trainerincludes a bevy of features from an unlocked camera during cutscenes to alternate costumes for Leon and Ashley, god mode options such as unlocks, infinite ammo and invincibility, a permanently expanded inventory, and the ability to use weapons that were previously exclusive to the Mercenaries mode in the normal campaign.

Of course, if you’re happy sticking with the Remake for now, there’s plenty of modding fun to be had in the new game, too - frombanana gunsto a terrifyingchainsaw-wielding Shrek
