Resident Evil 4 the first modern Re game.
1 of 1 found this helpful Ah Resident Evil 4, the first new Re game.
I had heard a lot about it prior to release, mainly the videos, screenshots and Leon returning from Re2. Supposedly Leon had been infected by a virus whilst walking around an Umbrella esque mansion. Hmm intriguing.
However upon playing the game this was not the case, the developers had decided to drop this in favour of the retail version of the game... Was this a good idea, hmmm maybe maybe not, It sold and still continues to sell well so from that perspective the game succeeded. But I was and still am an old school Re gamer, as you can well imagine my first impression of playing the game was really disappointing.
The new shoulder camera was and still is something I despise, the aiming was and still is annoying and it seems like the game is designed more for action combat than actual survival horror. I suppose this is quite fun but it is one of the elements imo that makes it less of an Re game. Whilst it is true that Re3 started taking the series more in that direction, Re3 was still a lot more survival horror than this. This is supposed to be Resident Evil not Devil May Cry!
Capcom did the same thing to Dino Crisis ugh..
You see I used to own a Gamecube and naturally having a copy of The Re remake; at the time exclusive, I decided to buy and give the new Re4 a go.
As I mentioned before it was incredibly disappointing not to mention so frustrating to play, I feel like I constantly died not to mention, failed terribly every time the button pushing event occurred, it seemed like it never worked properly!
As you can imagine, having constantly died and feeling frustrated, I hated every minute of playing this game and the extras unlocked were not even worth my time! I vowed never to play this awful thing again and sold it.
Capcom did give me some hope with the likes of the Outbreak series and I found myself playing 1 and especially file 2 constantly, this was and still is the Re I miss. Sadly due to poor sales Outbreak was not continued with and the old style of Re was and still seems to be no more to this day..
A lot of people say Re4 is the best Re game ever, I don't agree with that at all, but is it the worst? well no..
I decided to re-buy it and give it another chance, this time for Ps2 since I had heard you unlock a lot more.
Having played Re4 again I have changed my opinion on it somewhat.
I played it with an open mind and found I enjoyed the experience more this time. For one thing the event buttons actually seemed to work a lot better in this version which helps!
Also Ada's seperate ways is a great addition and tells more about the story. One thing that annoyed me story wise on the GC version, was that you never got to find out what Ada was doing behind the scenes. Thankfully not the case here.
Some people have said and still say Re4 is not an Re game, well it is and it isn't.
I feel that far too much time is spent on action combat and not enough on puzzle solving, backtracking and exploration and of course the fixed camera angles.
Fixed camera angles make the game more challenging and you never know what you will find in the next area. The stupid overshoulder view takes that aspect of Re away, which is a shame.
There is an element of exploration in Re4 which was enjoyable, particularly the slower paced moments where you actually had some time alone to immerse yourself and explore the area, it felt like an Re game lol. Had there been more of this I would give the game a higher rating.
The sound in this game is really well done, the soundtrack is very ambient and suits the scenarios very well. The Regenerator breathing is downright creepy and the enemy itself is just as creepy as Nemesis.
Upon completing the apparently now definitive version of Re4, I will give this game a 6/10. Also I have given the ebay score a 4, because it is better than I remembered.
