Without Shinji Mikami and Capcom’s influence, we would have never seen games such as Gears of War, or at least not to the degree it found success. While the story is just out of this world in many different ways, Resident Evil 4 has had an incredible influence on the industry, inspiring how most third person shooters are played today. It’s no longer the slow paced and mindless creatures we’ve become accustomed to these are smarter and more agile enemies that will quickly take Leon down. Crazed villagers infected with a new virus called Las Plagas, giving them supernatural abilities, including replacing their heads with some sort of parasite being, fill the void zombies left behind, making combat far more interesting. Kennedy, a survivor of Raccoon City and one of the protagonists of Resident Evil 2, is tasked with rescuing the President’s kidnapped daughter in some rural Spanish village. The plot, like any game in the series, is pretty ridiculous. The Japanese developer has gone back to the source material with the Ultimate HD Edition, adding a bevy of new additions and modern standards that should hopefully have diehard fans trekking Leon’s journey once more. While the title has been on PC in the past, it was a poorly optimized port that didn’t utilize the platform’s true potential.
It has been nearly ten years since the fourth iteration into the popular survival horror franchise has hit the market, but that isn’t stopping Capcom from re-releasing the game on every platform possible.
