Resident Evil 4
Survival is just the beginning.

See how Resident Evil 4 is evolving ahead of its release on March 24th, 2023.

Resident Evil 4 joins Leon S. Kennedy six years after his hellish experiences in the biological disaster of Raccoon City. His unmatched resolve caused him to be recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States. With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is dispatched to rescue the president's recently kidnapped daughter. Leon tracks her to a secluded European village, however after making first contact he discovers a fervor beyond reason grips the local populace. As a title that set the standard for the later Resident Evil franchise, the original Resident Evil 4 introduced the third-person camera to the long-running series, which has shipped over 127 million units worldwide since the first title debuted in 1996.

Now, this reimagined tale of survival in the face of overwhelming terror returns to deliver a visually stunning modern gaming experience that is true to the promise of the original release. Many team members from the production of 2019's top-selling and critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 also make their return to delve deeper into the essence of Resident Evil 4. Fans and newcomers alike can revel in both the new and familiar, as RE Engine heightens the design and creative direction of the original game.

Some new info from Game Informer (via other non-paywalled sites);
  • No QTEs, at least not in the style of the original game i.e. button mashing to onscreen prompts
  • There will be optional mini-side quests
  • Ashley will be less vulnerable - they say she will now "feel more like a natural companion and less like a second health bar to babysit"
  • Knives can break, but spares can be carried in inventory
I'll be waiting for the reviews. I got burned on RE3 remake and I'm not making that mistake again. That said, no more QTEs can only be a good thing.

Wrapped it just now. Very enjoyable especially the back half. From the mines on was great.

I found I would enjoy big sections but it would all go to a head during one bad set piece that would have me switching the console off.

They could have ironed those out for the remake. But still, it's a great game.

I'm on chapter 7 now and really enjoying it.

I would say, much like with the 2 remake, due to the clunky controls and gunplay - the boss fights can be a real pain in the arse.

I've played a little of the "Chainsaw demo".

The graphics of camera panning are somewhat of a pain in the head (literally, it gives me a headache).

Viewing or turning around, etc is much slower than the original.

Beyond that, it seems like a "remaster", step-up in graphic quality but ultimately the same game, with more awkward controls.

Does it get better?

Like most modern day remakes, RE4 remake is a good game but not as good as the original.
