re4make redesigns make no sense because they took concepts that went full retard and tried to make them sensible. the original characters wore clothes and used gear that were so impractical that it becomes clear that they were making a game entirely based on cool factor. it's a very typical aesthetic for 2000s japanese games.

the remake is weird because they tried to tone it down. it's not really camp anymore, or cool for the sake of cool, but instead it's a weird half-retard practical interpretation of the old "cool" stuff. even leon's pretty boy haircut makes a lot less sense when he's presented as a serious military guy using serious military gear. it made more sense for him to have it in the original, when he wore a skintight surfer's rashguard and had his own custom made stylish knife and pistol
