Having played the game recently on PC/SteamDeck with the HD Texture Project and RE4 Framework, I agree. The atmosphere of the OG can still hold its own.
The RE4 Framework Mod is a godsend - adds a perfect balance of modern/classic controls esp if you're on a mouse/kb. Despite the Remake being pretty good overall, I'd still urge people new to the game to check it out on PC first.
