    This will always be the best game ever, there isn't really much else to say. The graphics are starting to show their age, but what do you expect for 8 years.

    Yahoo! I've been waiting for RE4 to come to the Xbox 360. I have it on the WI but that controller/numchuck combo is a pain to use. The level in RE4 where you fight the zombie with the white spots you have to shoot in the lab is still the scariest moment in gaming history, IMO.

    Arguably the best Resident Evil game made so far brought to Steam with Achievements, high defiition textures and the same ass-kicking factor as the game had on its release for only 20 god damn dollars? I say hell **** yes.

Lo demás es total satisfacción supera mis expectativas, gráficamente se ve superior a las versión de GC/Wii y mucho mas que la aberración del puerto original de PC que no quiero recordarlo jamás. Algunos dirán que con mods se arregla y se ve mejor que esta nueva edition, lastimosamente para mi sigue siendo una infamia, con mods y todo no deja de ser un insulto y fuera de que sigue con la ausencia del ratón y cuando una vez quería jugarlo otra vez era inestable con las nuevas versiones de Windows que en ese caso la comunidad no puede arreglar. Conclusión recomendado para aquellos que quieran revivir la experiencia inolvidable de Resident Evil 4 en HD o como quieran llamarlo se siente como un juego nuevo y es innegable la calidad que tiene este titulo en todos los aspecto, ha día de hoy sigue impresionándome lo bien que se ve gráficamente hablando.… Expand

HD release looks good as well and considering how bad the PC port of this game was it was pretty easy to top that. Whatever happens to the series we hope that it tries this once again and not the way they did with Resident Evil 6......

    I've purchased this game a total of 8 times across 6 different platforms(2xGameCube, 2xPS2, PS4, Xbox360, Wii and PC).
    This game is just simply amazing. I first played it back in 2005 on my brother's GameCube and I was immediately hooked(however, I was stuck at the same part up until about mid 2006).
    It is, without a doubt, my favorite game of all time. Nothing beats it. Pros: +    I've purchased this game a total of 8 times across 6 different platforms(2xGameCube, 2xPS2, PS4, Xbox360, Wii and PC).

    It is, without a doubt, my favorite game of all time. Nothing beats it.

    Pros:
    + Graphics hold up pretty well
    + A near perfect inventory system(personal opinion)
    + Some fun, challenging puzzles
    + Scary enemy introductions and encounters
    + Lovable characters(including some enemies)
    + Classic cheesy Resident Evil story, but pulled off really well
    + The Merchant(Buy weapons, health sprays, maps, armor, larger inventory cases, etc.)
    + Stylish costumes(Especially the "Special 2" costume)
    + Files, letters, and notes are all good reads that explain the plot
    + Beautiful soundtrack(that I still listen to)
    + Main campaign, Separate Ways(second campaign), Assignment Ada, Mercenaries

    Pro/Con:
    (some people will like, others will hate compared to other RE titles)
    +/- Over the shoulder camera
    +/- More action based
    +/- Unlimited saving(still uses a typewriter though)
    +/- The Merchant System
    +/- Can't move while aiming/shooting
    +/- Tank controls

    Cons:
    - The last third of the game isn't really scary, begins to overstay it's welcome

Absolutely no game from 2004 can compete with Resident Evil 4. It's fair, if someone's be all end all is "Half-Life 2" (2004), but for me personally Resident Evil 4 takes all the awards that could ever exist.
    I'm worried and extremely hyped for remake at same time. It's rumored to be shown summer 2021 and released early 2022, but nothing is confirmed. I just hope that after disappointing RE3 Remake they learn from mistakes. Overall, RE2 Remake was well done, so i know, if they really want, they can do it. My only wish is that they wouldn't remove ANY bosses. Every boss in RE4 matters. Overall it's one my favorite games of all time and i have finished it over 30 times, highly recommended.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 4 is absolute greatness in every way possible. Hopefully they don't mess up RE4 Remake, i don't want VR, i don't want first person camera, i want perfect remake of RE4!

    This game was insanely good, so many boss fights, but unlike Dark Souls where every boss is boring or similar, RE4 bosses were unique and cool. Movement is little bit outdated, hopefully remake fixes that. Everything else was perfect.

    Phenomenal masterpiece that was apparently over 15 years ahead of time, because it has still better boss designs/fights than games like Elden Ring.

    One of the best and most innovative games ever made. This game came out January 11, 2005, so that basically means it's actually 2004 game, because it was already finished in 2004 and could have easily released October-November 2004. Name any video game, ANY VIDEO GAME, from 2004, that can even come close to this masterpiece? None, that's right. Nothing comes even close.

    One of the best games ever!!! Anyone who has trouble with mouse and keyboard controls- there is mouse mod on steam, find it under "view discussions". It makes your mouse work like RE5, so basically when you turn mouse, Leon also turns that way, basically how it should have always been. This was my biggest issue with this game, but now it's literally perfect. Hopefully remake is good.

    I was debating getting this on Steam, and I am glad I did. Controls a little clunky at first, but got used to it pretty quickly - just a fun game, has to be one of my top ten favs. If you liked this game on other systems, you won't be disappointed - well worth $20.

    My favorite Resident Evil now in full HD and runs at 60fps! I loved it on GameCube and I love it even more on PC! Despite its minor issues and lack of Wii-like mouse support that some had expected it to have, it's well worth the price. Some of the textures have been redone and look as good as L4D2's textures at best, so not modern standard HD at all, but nonetheless, better than previousMy favorite Resident Evil now in full HD and runs at 60fps! I loved it on GameCube and I love it even more on PC! Despite its minor issues and lack of Wii-like mouse support that some had expected it to have, it's well worth the price. Some of the textures have been redone and look as good as L4D2's textures at best, so not modern standard HD at all, but nonetheless, better than previous ports. While aiming with the mouse is inferior to the Wii version, it's superior to the analog stick (depending on how much practice you put into it). Sniping heads is a breeze and the merchant's shooting ranges is laughably easy, though it's a lot more convenient to just plug in a 360 gamepad and be on your way.
    Most of the cut-scenes are in real-time, but some are low quality videos. If your PC is weak and struggles to run older games like HL2 or Portal, I don't recommend you play this, because its speed is actually tied to the frames-per-second, meaning if you use the game's locked 60fps setting and you're running 30fps, the game will run at half speed. Luckily it doesn't take a NASA computer to get 60fps. So... good port, runs great on mid hardware, looks the best, epic nostalgia, worth the 20 bucks, could use a patch for the minor issues though.

    EDIT: Mouse aiming has been patched to be responsive like other shooters. I actually prefer this over the Wii aiming. Nice! Mouse acceleration is on by default, but you can disable it via a config file.    … Expand

    Controls arent bad, but they take getting used to. Once you're used to them, it turns out to be a fantastic experience. i personally find this version to be the best, yet I've only play the GC version. Definitely check it out.

    El único problema que tengo es que tengo ralentizaciones muy seguido, no al punto de ser injugable, pero no lo comprendo ya que juegos como Resident Evil 5, 6 y los Revelations me corren mejor sin tener ese pequeño problema.

    I bought this game for $5 on Steam. It is one of the best if not the best Resident Evil game ever made. While it is a big change from previous RE games, This game is interesting as it is never boring, it is packed with action, you have a lot of ammo, the storyline is good. There are a few flaws but honestly, the good overshadows the bad so, 9 out of 10 from me.

    A simple story, but with a lot of background and a very good narrative. I'm glad to see Leon and Ada again.
    The bosses are defiant and some enemies give real terror.

    In the gameplay is the more than known shoulder camera that characterizes this video game. A bit complicated at first, but then it feels like a glove to the video game.

    Sadly the final score has to be lower than originally expected, at least until the developers can fix the issues. Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is essentially the great PC version we've been waiting for all these years, it is priced quite reasonably and, under normal conditions, I would recommend the game wholeheartedly to fans of the series and newcomers alike, but not until all the bugs have been squashed. Until then, keep your money in your pockets.

    If you haven’t played Resident Evil 4, it’s still absolutely worth playing. It’s a definite classic that stands along with the likes of Half Life 2 as one of the best games of its generation.

    Resident Evil 4 is still one of the best games ever made, but less-than-ideal mouse and keyboard controls and a barely noticeable texture upgrade keep this PC port from being the ultimate version of this masterpiece that it could have been.
