    The PC ports were all garbage, you have to play it modded. One of the first over the shoulder third person shooters and still one of the best, this was an instant classic game that feels timeless.

    Sobre a gameplay trata-se de RE4 né.
    Texturas, Gráficos, Lindeza?
    Meia boca, ,so baixando o mod msm pra ficar legal.
    Não ta tão remaster assim.
    Vale a pena o investimento?
    Comprei por 4 conto na green gaming, acho que menos de 10 real vale.

    One of my favorite games of all time, basically masterpiece. I'm still optimistic towards the remake, even tho RE3Remake failed. Hopefully they have bigger and more dedicated team for RE4Remake. If they mess up RE4remake i will never support Capcom again.

    To me Resident Evil 4 belongs into Top 3 Best Video Games Ever Made list. I like this game for many reasons. It holds up in time and still beats many modern video games. People need to keep in mind that it came out January 2005, so basically it was actually 2004 game. It was made in 2003-2004 and finished in 2004.

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

    I am on the fence about this game. When this game first came out, it was 5 stars, ten out of ten, the best and a must play. I spent a lot of time fumbling with controls, feeling like I was micromanaging the movement and skills of Leon, and playing Tetris with the inventory.

    I also was thinking of stating the superfluous amount of ammunition that I was finding in my first playthrough was a bit much, when I found that you use everything and more in the 'Professional' difficulty. Leon is apparently sponsoring Nerf in this mode of the game.

    I am not a fan of Ada, but I see how many are. I found Claire to be the stronger of the two in Resident Evil 2, where Ada was just a flirt and a tease that would scamper about, and Claire was more about getting it done and facing whatever odds that came before her. That and I would like an explanation of how Ada survived, which seems to not be in this. In fact, a lot of loose ends are throughout Resident Evil 4 about Ada and Leon, but I think that they are attempting to make Ada mysterious.

    While this game was the pinnacle of gaming excellence when it first came out, in my opinion of course, it has not aged well is the best way that I can describe it.

    This game is still a must play for those that want to enjoy the full lore of Resident evil, and it is good to get Leon back in the saddle, However, this game is tedious and might try your patience, even with the assistance of mods for the controls. On a side note, oh how I miss Claire. Maybe she is caring for the little girl.    … Expand

It seems that they are all connected together, but there is a strong smack that they all live their own lives due to the excessive difference in the situation and enemies that do not intersect with each other, although they play out a single group-sect.. These stories are not bad, even to some extent interesting, especially for their time, but the problem is that by combining them all into "one long sausage", this game begins to tire you very much. Moreover, there are other problems in it that add to the level of this fatigue.
    Now it's 2020, the game was made in 2014 ... well-known bugs with QTE have not been resolved yet (fu*ng trolley in mines... fu*ng statue in castle). To solve these problems, you need to perform "shamanic dances with a tambourine" like fps manipulations or beginning to play ONLY with eng. language.
    Wildly slow turns. Due to the inability to move sideways, there are often situations when you fail to react to the enemy from the side(the enemy has time to stuff you with arrows or bullets while you turn and aim. Turning button on 180 does not always help). And for the dessert: In boss fights this is very annoying, because while you turn and shoot, the boss will have time to drive you into the ground, because you need 100500 shots to win, but 3 hits are enough for him. This is certainly not critical and completely surmountable, you just waste more time for that, but in general, from game to game, this turtle speed is just infuriating.
    Didn't find how to rotate items in the inventory. The inability to combine ammo with weapons - minor but uncomfortable.
    However, I liked the game in the majority. The story, although filled with pathos and various clichés, is interesting.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ну вот я и прошел RE4. Прям вот только что. Что сказать, доволен. У игры почти нету минусов, но они все же есть. Отметим же плюсы.

    +

    Продолжительность игры - Обычно RE игры небольшие, но RE4 порадовала своим внушающим объемом. Игру я прошел за 18 часов на среднем уровен сложности. Прошел бы и на специалисте, если бы он сразу был доступен.

    Загадки - Их хоть немного, но над ними надо попотеть.

    Хардкор - Даже на среднем уровне сложности, было сложно. Постоянно 24/7 везде есть мобы.

    Противники - Разнообразие врагов в RE4 огромно. Начиная с обычного деревенщина и окончивая хренью, которая регениться и её нельзя убить без спец. прицела.

    Локации - Все локации в RE4 выглядят хорошо, но были бы еще красивее, если бы не графа 2005 года.

    Графика - Для 2005 года графика пойдет, но как по мне, за 6 лет можно было сделать чутка получше.

    Сюжет - Сюжет в игре нормальный, но и не супер как по мне.

    Атмосфера - Она в игре есть, особенно начиная с Замка как по мне.

    -

    Боссы - Ну боссы слишком легкие, возможно из-за моей сложности, но все равно они не какие. Единственный над кем я потел это была рыба в деревне.

    Камера - Первое время бесила камера, просто невозможно, но ближе к середине игры привыкаешь к ней.

    Нелогичные моменты - Ну это просто клише по типу "Швырну его а не убью".

    Эшли - Здесь бесит даже не сам персонаж, а эти "Help me Leon!", "Leooon" и т.д её фразы от которых её наоборот хочется отдать Садлеру а не вернуть Отцу.

    В целом игры хорошая и стоит своего времени.    … Expand

    Excellent graphics.

    New features in gameplay compared to other previous games in the series: Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3.

    Engaging plot, the story takes place in a Spanish village. The enemies are zombies and people who are part of a hidden sect.

    New challenges and puzzles. Game difficult and requires training.

    For starters, Resident Evil 4 gets some things very right, and some things very wrong. I'll dive right into my breakdown.

    Gameplay (7.5 out of 10)
    When Resident Evil 4 was released before the HD Edition, the gameplay was truly revolutionary for the time. We hadn't seen the tight over the shoulder shots this clean before, and that tight camera angle helped build plenty of tension. As the game continues on, you'll be aiming your gun at some enemies and hear something behind you that might make you jump. In this respect, Resident Evil 4 changed the way they were achieving their scares from previous games. The QTE (Quick Time Events) were, if memory serves, a new idea for the generation. We hadn't seen the likes of them before, so it added to the stress level one would feel while encountering scenes. I sometimes put my controller down during cut scenes just to take a quick break from the game while enjoying what I'm seeing, but Resident Evil 4 doesn't allow that, and that's fine. QTE aren't my cup of tea to begin with.

    The inventory management system is expanded from previous games, giving you a case that you can expand over time. Without going into great detail, it fits well in the game but takes away from the stress you would expect in a Resident Evil game. Inventory works well within the game, though it's worth noting it's very different from the Resident Evil games that came out before RE4.

    Game saves are too often. I don't love games that are punishing, but the scary part of this franchise has always come from not knowing what's around the corner and if you'd die from it. If that were to happen, you'd have to go back in time quite a ways sometimes. In RE4, that's not a worry. Again, some might prefer to just experience the game this way, but overall I wanted that worry factor in my playthrough.

    Story (3-10)
    Awful, just awful. Almost everything about it is bad. Why would the President send 1 man to get his daughter? I'm not going to try to get into all the nuances of the story here and pick them apart, but that just had to be pointed out since it's what sets the story in motion. The lack of zombies isn't what I wanted, but it largely works. The las plagus virus is explained eventually and I can get on board with it.

    I do have to take some time to talk about one truly atrocious character...

    Of course, I'm talking about Ramon Salazar. This Napoleon-like character has the worst voice I have ever heard in a video game. He also has the worst lines ever given to a voice actor. Resident Evil games, to this point, didn't have a character that was so far over the top like Ramon Salazar. Was Wesker a bit much? Yes. Was Brian Irons goofy? Sure. Ramon Salazar simply disconnects you from the games immersion and makes you scratch your head. Due to the success of Resident Evil 4, largely because of the gameplay mechanics and not the story, Capcom now assumes that fans want these kinds of characters in their games with more action and more explosions. Ramon Salazar is the entire reason we get Ricardo Irving in Resident Evil 5.

    Until Resident Evil 4 was released, we had been working towards taking Umbrella down as the player behind the controller. Within the first few minutes of the game, we find out that Umbrella no longer exists. For me, the satisfaction of being there in the final moments before Umbrella went belly up was so dissatisfying. From the Mansion the the desecration of Raccoon City, Umbrella was always the target and now it's just gone with a new story to tell I guess. Not a fan of that choice, though I get that the story started to head in a new direction.

    At the heart of it all, that's the problem. While the story isn't even good, it dictates a direction for Capcom that is far off course from what I personally wanted. I don't want thousands of rounds at my disposal and tons of bosses with "this isn't even my final form" mottos. No! Give me tight corners to escape from, puzzles to solve, distances to travel wondering if I itemized the right essentials for my journey. Give me limited saves so I'm always second guessing myself. Don't give me waves upon waves of Genados to wipe out with my jump kicks!

    Did I have fun playing Resident Evil 4? Of course I did. It's a fun game with intense moments. It's a B movie when it should be an A movie though. If we've learned anything over time and from the success of Resident Evil 2 Remake is that fans want the franchise to take itself seriously because it deserves to be taken seriously! RE2 Remake was my GOTY in 2019.

    If you're a Resident Evil fan, you've already played this game. If you're looking to dive into the franchise from the start, I would highly suggest playing 1, 2 remake, 3 remake, then going back and playing the original releases for these games    … Expand

    Resident Evil 4 has had an impact on the entire gaming industry. I can 't even believe the game came out in 2005, it still looks modern and relevant. The plot is simple, but keeps in tension for the rest of the game. The gameplay itself is a little old, but the only drawback is Leon doesn 't know how to go and shoot.

    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.

    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.
