History VideoGame / Medievil

** The pirate captain, in the PS4 remake, has a phase in which a rainstorm puts out the fires that Dan is using to fire the cannon. He then helpfully starts lobbing fire-bombs that Dan can guide into triggering the cannon.

* InvincibleBoogeymen: However, in Scarecrow Fields, there's something living in the cornfield that cannot be fought, cannot be killed and cannot even be seen. If you stray into the cornfield and don't leave immediately, you'll be rewarded with an ominous hissing noise as something large rushes through the corn towards you, and then you will instantly lose a life. That's it.

* TheLostWoods: The Encharted Earth, renamed The Enchanted Forest in the remake.

It was announced at [=PSX=] 2017 that Sir Daniel would be coming back from the dead once more, with a remake of the original ''[=MediEvil=]'' for the [=PS4=], similar to the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy'' earlier that year. The project was later revealed to be developed by Other Ocean Interactive, with more information and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19Dj520a3Og a teaser trailer.]] This [=PS4=] remake was released on October 24th 2019, just in time for Halloween. Unlike the more {{compressed|Adaptation}} PSP remake, this one is a very faithful recreation of the original, with a few features added, like a [[EncyclopediaExposita list of enemies, environments, etc.]], voice narration for the books, and a second weapon slot so you can change weapons on the fly.

* EncyclopediaExposita: The Book of Gallowmere, available from the start.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The game now features standard camera controls, a feature the original lacked, and also added in the weapon quick-switch mechanic that was introduced in ''VideoGame/MediEvil2''.

* SceneryPorn: The game was made as a 1:1 recreation of the original and has been brought up to date with modern technology. The levels are all lush and vibrant. However, it makes the same mistake ''VideoGame/MedievilResurrection'' made with Scarecrow Fields and Pumpkin Gorge: they're set in near daylight while Zarok's spell of perpetual night is in effect. Scarecrow Fields may have a small inkling of an excuse though, the level intro cutscene shows at least one windmill with its blades on fire.

!!This game provide examples of:

!!Tropes unique to the [=PS4=] Remake:

** Averted in the PS4 remake; the game's bonus content features a motion comic prequel that depicts Sir Dan while he was still alive. Even with his bottom jaw in place, his top teeth are just as prominent; combined with his dandy mustache, it makes him look rather goofy, keeping with his characterization as a boastful storyteller rather than a hardened warrior.

* AdaptationalBadass: At least in terms of design, the information gargoyles, as detailed under ArtEvolution.

* TookALevelInBadass: To mix things up for veterans of the series, most of the bosses get new attacks or use new tactics. For example, the Stained Glass Demon is slightly more aggressive and gains a new shockwave attack, the Graveyard Guardians can both attack at the same time, the Queen Ant summons more falling rocks, the Demonettes get a BulletHell attack, and the Ghost Ship Captain fights back by throwing stuff, and half way through the fight, it starts raining, putting out the club fires, forcing you to light the cannon by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard making the Captain throw flammable objects at you]], or by using the Dragon Armour.

* FakeUltimateHero: Sir Fortesque is an odd example, given that (as shown in-game), Fortesque actually is a more than decent fighter, and can be a true hero if you play your cards straight. The only reason he is one of these is because his reputation was propped up for propaganda purposes (he ended up getting shot in the eye by the very first arrow fired in the battle), not by any effort or fault of his own.
** He DID, however, make up his background in order to get in the King of Gallowmere's good graces. He was appointed as a knight because he was supposedly a great hero already, and given Gallowmere's peaceful history, he didn't expect to actually have to live up to the stories he made up. And he ''really'' had to be cajoled into fighting Zarok when he was alive.

* SilentSnarker: Sir Dan is far more animated.

* TookALevelInBadass: To mix things up for veterans of the series, most of the bosses get new attacks or use new tactics. For example, the Stained Glass Demon is slightly more aggressive and gains a new shockwave attack, the Graveyard Guardians can both attack at the same time, the Queen Ant summons more falling rocks, the Demonettes get a BulletHell attack, and the Ghost Ship Captain fights back by throwing stuff, and half way through the fight, it starts raining, putting out the club fires, forcing you to light the cannon by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard making the Captain throw flammable objects at you.]]

* BreakingTheFourthWall: The entry for the Corn Killer is basically the developers admitting that they wanted to railroad the player to the next destination and found that an instant-kill monster forcing the player along a set path was the best way to go. Doubly so under time constraints. What? TropesAreNotBad.

** That trailer also gave the inital impression it was using the voice cast from the 'Resurrection'', most notably Creator/TomBaker as TheNarrator and [[AdaptationNameChange Death]]. The game instead uses all the original voice recordings from the original, with the only exceptions being Jason Wilson rerecording his lines as Sir Dan and TheNarrator being recast with Creator/LaniMinella.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The initial announcement trailer for the remake featured voices and visuals from ''Resurrection'', including Al-Zalam's voice, who doesn't appear in this game apart from a cameo on a stained glass window.
