Resident Evil 4 Remake - Del Lago Lake Monster Boss Fight (4K)

Del lago in the original feels more intimidating than the remake, I miss the moment where leon gets his leg roped up or have frantically mash your button just to swim back into your boat.

Really wish they didn’t remove the swimming back to the boat and cutting the rope at the end. Just played it now and realize how cool that was.

the original shot from top view where del lago swims underneath is iconic. quite disappointed that they omit it in this remake.😢

I miss the QTE for this one battle. The fear you have for being knocked into the water and swimming up to your boat is better than just throwing harpoons at the creature.

Lake monster: dissapears Leon: Going to Bingo?

1:05 Wow, missing important detail here. In the original, it showed the hook go into the water and clipping the giant salamander. Here, it just goes right to it.

Original boss fight was much more scarier with the overview scene of the 60ft monster following the boat from underneath, and the button mashing to get back into the boat while it chases you

I'm only on chapter 4 but goddamn I'm blown away by how great this is. Capcom did phenomenal work on this.

Honestly kinda wish they'd kept in the boss knocking you outta the boat and having to frantically mash square to swim back

I wonder if they kept it where if u shoot the water u get eaten by it

That's a mutant giant salamander!!!

I have to say this boss fight was a lot easier than I thought.

1:05 Del Lago trying to reenact the ending of Free Willy

i get they wanted to do away with qte's but leaving out the part where the sinking monster's harpoon snag's leon's leg just added to the element of always staying on your toes. The new colors for this fight are beautiful but I wish they kinda kept the old grays in this lake. It made it feel isolating. like you and the monster were the only ones. But I love how much more imposing the monster feels.

This is a mixed bag. Del Lago itself looks better, and the graphics of the arena are beautiful. But I’m missing the shot at the beginning of the fight when it swims under the boat. I’m missing the huge amount of close call moments there were. And I think the music is lackluster here too. The music in the original fight was so simple and so scary

oof yeah if you compare the og RE4 with the remake, the removal of qte for Del lago deff makes its boss fight somewhat worse. not as much tension since Leon presumably can't get knocked off the boat+swim back before he gets eaten. and especially the ending where leon's supposed to be dragged down due to the rope getting tied around his leg by accident where he has to cut the rope off fast as possible. the removal of these 2 things makes del lago not as dangerous or as intense which is somewhat disappointing. but its understandable why they removed some qtes. yet.. del lago's the one they shouldve at least kept it in since it made sense thematically for this boss, especially the ending part. I deff admit the graphics however, the graphics are gorgeous for this boss fight with the pink sunset in the background, I really like that

I love the castle on the cliff over looking the lake, great detail

I discovered the lake monster secret death by accident on the original RE4 and it scared the hell out of me🤣. I just randomly decided to shoot out in the distance in NG+ with my infinite rocket launcher before going to the boss fight

Kinda remind me of harpooning in assassin's creed

I was hoping they changed the fight where we controlled the boat and shoot del Lago. It's not bad, but I'm still a little disappointed.
