![]() Leon still feels nimble, has an appropriate run speed, and some seriously killer context-sensitive actions. ![]() The infamous tank controls remained intact, however this was clearly the smoothest the series controlled at the time. This was all-new territory for the series. Instead of pre-rendered environments (which always looked visually stunning), the developer rendered the environments entirely from scratch and provided much more interactivity: ladders placed against buildings could be interacted with and thrown back, boxes and crates were destructible for items, lamps and such could be shot at to ignite enemies in flames. This brought players closer into the Resident Evil universe than ever before. In RE4, the series saw a massive revamp from fixed camera angles and simple aiming to a brilliant over-the-shoulder camera with full-precision aiming. Throughout the game's 15 plus hour journey, you'll uncover the mystery that surrounds Leon. Unlike brain-dead zombies, the new virus known as Las Plagas has taken control of the civilians, and they have been assembled under the rule of a cult leader. Unlike what he's experienced in Raccoon City, the people here are ruthless and cunning. Sent alone, Leon has to investigate an area in rural Spain, where his subject's local whereabouts was spotted. Kennedy, a former Raccoon City Police Officer (only one day on the job, see Resident Evil 2) sent to Europe to rescue the President's missing daughter. That being said, though, does the title that revolutionised the industry still stand tall by today's standards? Seeing Capcom's reputation of porting – "remastering" – games this generation, it should come as no surprise that RE4 would get yet another release. The game has seen its way to virtually every platform since conception, starting off its life as a Nintendo GameCube exclusive. Over-the-shoulder camera, full precision-aiming that added strategic combat elements, quick-time events (which in their defence were used brilliantly here, unlike in countless other games or future instalments for that matter), and advanced AI that really had you on the edge of your seat. ![]() Resident Evil 4 is no stranger to many in the gaming world, as it set the precedent in numerous areas. There was a time when the Resident Evil name was practically untarnished, full of conspiracy, originality, atmosphere, and downright excellent gameplay. I'll never forget it." Well, more like 2005 in regards to when this game first released, but you get where we're going with it. ![]()
