I have it preordered. What have you heard that you don't like?

For me I don't like the fact that I've heard that the tone of the Game is darker, I honestly miss the days when Resident Evil was more like a B-Movie and a bit campy.

And I feel like Ashley being made to be capable means that some iconic levels from the original Game are either going to be edited or omitted entirely.

Don't get me wrong, I know that I'm probably letting my own nostalgia for the original version cloud my judgment, hopefully it is a great Game for you and other people that play it.

And tbh even despite me making this thread, I'll probably be open to giving the Game a go as long as the original RE4 is always available.

That's fair. Code Veronica is one of my favourite RE games and I'd be disappointed if they ever remade and toned back the crazy campness of that game from footage I've seen of this remake (without trying to spoil too much) it seems decently faithful to the original though, whilst modernising some parts. I can't say Ashley being a bit more competent will be a complaint for me tbh.

Code Veronica is a great Game, it's also the only mainline Resi Game that I've failed to beat when I gave it a go, good times.

Tbf I reckon that the Game will be well made, I just am unsure if it's gonna be my type of Game.

And with Ashley I would normally agree with you that making her more competent would make for a better character and Game, I do however though feel that Ashley served an important function to some of the levels in the original Game, and there I say it but even by Resi standards it does come off as unrealistic (by their own standards imo) that the President's Daughter is going to be capable of taking on a cult and all sorts of stuff that were in the original RE4, personally I'd have preferred more levels on Ada if there were going to be changes to the levels personally.

Well yeah, while making her a "Damsel in Distress" might have been a bit of a stereotype, but not every female character can be competent, especially daughters of presidents

Well like TS has said, the Game was to some extent borrowing the Princess Peach trope with Ashley, which I think actually worked for the character given that she is not meant to be trained in any way to handle situations like this.
