    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.

    Resident Evil 3 Nemesis siempre fue mi Resident Evil favorito hasta que con el tiempo vi que Resident Evil 4 es una obra maestra de los juegos de acción

Esta nueva versión HD ultimate edition tiene mejoras sustanciales en las texturas y resolución a mas de 1080p, 60fps, desenfoque de movimiento, AA y unos filtros para cambiar las paletas de colores al juego, y lo mejor que finalmente tiene soporte para ratón aunque no es perfecto pero es jugable solo hay que acostumbrarse, en mi caso personal ya me lo paso de mantequilla con teclado y ratón pero si seria bueno una mejora, que estaré al tanto de nuevos parches para corregirlo un poco, que ha propósito de otros fallos este puerto tiene un problema de lag cuando se ejecuta a 60fps que es injugable pero poniéndolo a 30 ya es mucho mas jugable aunque a veces se le siente el lag pero es jugable. así que a la espera de que Capcom corrija la optimización del juego y ajustar un poco mejor el ratón. 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

    The best Resident Evil gets a Remake in a franchise that has since lost its way.

    Resident Evil has been trying many things but this is the first attempt away from the original games 1,2 and 3 where the camera and combat was all constrained and fixed. Resident Evil 4 is the best because combat is fluid and dynamic, characters and set pieces are worked well and story is well written.

Resident Evil 4 is the best because combat is fluid and dynamic, characters and set pieces are worked well and story is well written. 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......

    Please note this was done on a 1-5 cell processor at 3.1ghz with a 7k Radeon series video card if you have this spec or better it will run with no issues.    … Expand

    One of the greatest Resident Evil games ever made made even better. Although more love and attention could have been given to improving the textures and character models, the fundamental game still looks, and plays, great.

    Resident Evil 4 is a masterpiece that inspired other masterpieces such as Dead Space. It blends horror, action, and comedy more perfectly than any other game in existence.

    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
    - The camera isn't able to be freely moved    … Expand

    I could care less if Resident Evil 8 comes out or not. I don't like first-person resident evil. I want Remake of RE4. Re4 is (at least to me) one of the greatest video games ever made. I have finished it over 30 times and i continue to play it for the rest of my life.

    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.
