Sep 12, 2016Resident Evil 4 is, and will forever remain, a masterpiece. It says a lot when you can pop in a game over a decade old, and still get as engrossed into everything it has to offer like it was the first time ever experiencing it. If you have somehow still never played this game, put down whatever game(s) you are playing and make room for this survival horror smash. And if you've played it countless times on several platforms, it's still worth forking over a couple of bucks to revisit this legendary game.
-
Sep 8, 2016Resident Evil 4 is a stone-cold classic, a genre defining game that surpasses expectations even now.
-
Sep 1, 2016Out of the three Resident Evil rereleases, this is easily the best game of the three. At the same time, if you picked it up digitally on the PS3 or Xbox 360, there isn’t anything new other than being able to play on your current gen consoles.
-
Oct 11, 2016Resident Evil 4 is still a great experience. It still is one of the best entries of the whole Resident Evil franchise. 1080p and 60 FPS turns the game into a smooth thriller even if it is still not a full remake.
-
Sep 12, 2016Resident Evil 4 still feels good, and being able to have 60fps and 1080p on the PS4 makes it a beautiful display, even with the GameCube-era graphics. Still, I would liked more improves done to the title – the 30fps animations for reloading still remains – since it’s been 11 years from the original release. If you haven’t played Resident Evil 4, then go for it, because this is one adventure that you will most likely love.
-
Sep 6, 2016This is a very impressive port, which is bereft of notable issues and only experiences the odd hiccup, making it perhaps the best version of the phenomenal survival horror experience to date.
-
Sep 5, 2016Resident Evil 4 has lost none of its madcap tension, or its considerable charms. This is one of the finest single player campaigns ever, rendered in crisp 1080p on modern consoles.
-
Sep 5, 2016There’s nothing new for repeat players except another crack at an exceptional, if ever-so-slightly dated game. For those who haven’t picked up Resident Evil 4 in a while however, this is as good a time as any to remind yourself of what heights this series can reach.
-
Sep 6, 2016Resident Evil 4's PS4 launch is the best chance to play a classic the best way possible, although it has to be kept in mind that it has just been remastered and has an improved framerate. Same gameplay mechanics of eleven years ago, which can be the best for nostalgics or the worst for newcomers.

Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaOct 29, 2016Veterans should hold onto their hard-earned pesetas for a future budget buy. If you’re a newbie to the series it’s ok to buy it at a high price, stranger. [December 2016, p81]
-
Sep 23, 2016A classic survival-action-horror that redefined the franchise and scared the hell out of us.
-
Sep 7, 2016Resident Evil 4 was a great game and still is a solid experience today. This version has improved framerate, extra modes available and great boss battles.
-
Sep 7, 2016While the mechanics are stiff compared to modern games, it’s a blast from the past that will invoke nostalgia for those who haven’t played it since its initial release in 2005.
-
Sep 3, 2016Resident Evil 4 is still a great game, and this is the best way to enjoy it on consoles... At least until Capcom remasters it again.
-
Sep 1, 2016One of the best action games ever made and although this is a competent port it’s still not the definitive remaster fans will have wished for.
-
Sep 1, 2016Its impact can not be understated. With that said, the lack of tweaking and adaption with the controls made the 2016 experience on the PlayStation 4 a bit tough to love. It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s tough to recapture RE4’s magic when you’re fighting with the controls. In the end, a classic is still a classic, despite its flaws in this generation.
-
Sep 5, 201611 years feels like an eternity for a game that feels old in playability and graphical performance, but it's still great in showing a balance of action, puzzles and minigames. As charismatic as it always was.
-
Sep 6, 2016The legend is still in there, but the remaster is so lazy.
-
Sep 6, 2016Resident Evil 4 remains in a league of its own, but this port dampens the enjoyment with an unwelcome jump in resolution and some odd control issues.
-
Oct 21, 2016This version aims only for the one or two persons in the world that haven’t played the game yet. Besides the 1080p resolution and the 60 fps framerate, it is still a lazy port.
