After playing this for the first time with the definitive edition, I'm so glad to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed this throughout. First of all, the graphics in this game still hold up to this day. The opening to this game is by far one of the best ways to draw you into this adventure. The gameplay is really fun and engaging (controls take awhile on getting used to, but once you get the swing of things it's enjoyable). Most of the boss fights are terrifying even though they've made this game more action oriented. One thing that was annoying in the game which made me take one point out was how most of the second half of the game is focused on escorting Ashley out of the village. Having her with you was a bit of a nuisance since you always have to be aware of where she is and restoring her health if you don't want to lose. This was the only problem I had with the game, but overall I had a blast.… Expand

    This game is one of the best resident evil games for its time and the controls have aged very well. It is very easy to pick up and play. Even on older systems like PS3 and Xbox 360. I would recommend it over and over again to every one interesting in learning about how Leon defeated evil this time.

Its essential to play this game for gamers so that they can understand the bar of gaming at this time. It's one of the best games ever made. I think the port quality is just fine.

    Resident Evil 4 is an enjoyable game. At first I struggled with the controls, but once I got a handle on it, it was fine. The graphics weren't amazing, being an older game, even though they were enhanced. Despite all that, it was still a fun experience.

    Don't get me wrong this USED to be my go to game on PS2, Wii and PC, but sadly the dated clunky controls and limited combat mechanics have not aged well on the PS4. Just not fun to play any more and gaming has moved on from this outmoded style a play a long time ago. Visuals don't hold up to well either sad to say.

    Resident Evil 4 for the PS4 is a great game, it manages to maintain the charm the original GameCube version has. It's got a decent story and set of characters, the gameplay at the time was ground breaking but today it feels just like any other third person action game. But it's still a really good game especially with the updated graphics.

    Oh my God...
    The choice not to play these games It was a very good choice.
    My whole world collapse instantly just i started all the games.
    It was a terrible experience.
    From RES 4 to RES 5 and finally RES 6 it is unfair to say that there were not differences and improvements on graphics and animations but the plot and the games general become worst and worst.
    I was very lucky to stop playing video games these years.

    A list of things that i hated on RES 4.
    1. The change of the gaming style
    2. The luck of puzzles
    3. The bad voice overs
    4. The personalities of the characters

    Back in 2007, I did not appreciate the game and considered it a bad continuation of the franchise. However, after a squalid RE 7, this reinterpretation doesn't seem bad. Everything is fine in the game. Great atmosphere, environment, enemies, weapons, etc. Special thanks for fixing bugs of the original game.

    The only thing annoying is the inconvenient for 2018 game controls

    This game may be (very) good storywise but the controls lack by todays standard in a way that it hurts the gameplay. I don't want to fight the camera nor the movement abilities to enjoy a game. Because this is an updated version I not only have expected prettier graphics but original flaws to be adressed aswell.

    Gameplay:
    This is the game's most appealing aspect. it does take an hour or so to get used to the camera controls, but as the player gets used to the controls, gets better weapons and discovers new tricks on how to dispatch enemies more effectively, the game keeps up with the player by keeping things fresh and challenging throughout the 16hour campaign. The pace of the game and the variety of enemies along with the interesting situations the player finds himself in plays a key part in keeping the player engaged throughout the experience.
    The weapons are another key element that makes this game excellent. There are plenty of weapons and weapon upgrades, and it's up to the player to choose which weapons to buy and upgrade. None of the weapons are really necessary to beat the game but the player will likely end up buying one of every type(a handgun, a shotgun etc.)
    By beating the game the player unlocks a new mode and a new gun (will keep this a secret!) with infinite ammo.
    There are also 2 extra campaigns that come along with this version that tell the story from a different character's perspective.
    Needless to say, this is a lot of value for $20 if you haven't played this game yet.

    Story:
    Cheesy fun with creepiness and humor, not the highlight of the game but adds positively to the experience.

    Graphics:
    it's what you expect from a game from the gamecube/ps2 era, however, the art and character models hold up very well.    … Expand

Graphically the game still looks great today, with mostly great textures, framerates and impressive draw-distances.

    This classic stands as my all-time favourite game (narrowly beating Persona 5) and is definitely a must-buy for any PS4 owner!

    Resident Evil 4 is one of the best in the series. I remember playing it on ps2 and i loved it and it became one of my all time favorite games i then recently picked it op for ps4 and instantly remembered why i liked it so much in the first place. The game still has all its perks from the ps2 version but with better graphics. It's a classic game with better visuals what more could you wish for.

I can see why this game is highly regarded because it's full of surprises, hidden things and fairly deep gameplay; Although this is a "action" game the player will need to think about the best weapons and strategy to use for each situation if they are going to survive. I also understand RE4 is quite influential and introduced the "over the shoulder" camera angle.
    However, despite all of that RE4 has also aged badly in some ways. The tank like controls and inability to move while shooting just aren't fun in 2017. Also ther's far too many annoying quick time events and ill conceived difficulty spikes.
    Ultimately RE4 is a game that's as frustrating as it is fun but seems to get a free pass for it's faults from fan boys and critics. Anyone giving this a 10 or 9 in 2017 should be ashamed of themselves. It's good but far from the best action game ever.    … Expand

And I'm happy to say it's every bit as good, if not better than I remembered. I think I actually like it more now than I did when it was initially released. There's a reason it's been re-released on pretty much every console since its creation, and that's because it's an absolute masterpiece that revolutionized video games, specifically third-person shooters. I'll admit, it's not usually scary per say, but it's almost always eerie, and there is a persisting sense of danger outside of the save areas. The atmosphere is constantly dreary, and the game never keeps you in one location too long with needlessly complicated puzzles and backtracking that were prominent in the prior titles in the series. You're always moving from one awesomely designed location to another with varying enemies, which help keep things fresh on your very long, but enjoyable journey. Just when you think you've learned a certain enemy's pattern and begin to feel comfortable, the game throws a new foe at you that attacks you in a completely new way. The game is challenging without being outright frustrating, and the difficulty perfectly inclines as you progress. Mechanically, Resident Evil 4 moves at a slow, methodical pace. But that's part of its charm. Aiming is rather slow, you can't strafe, and the inventory must be opened to change your weapon. But I don't mind any of that at all. It's certainly the most dated part of the game, but it surprisingly works in Resident Evil 4's favor, On a technical level, the game was the pinnacle of it's time. Graphically, it was unmatched on consoles, and the sound and music was, and still is top notch. Although there are a lot of muddy textures, overall the game looks great on the PS4, considering nothing has been touched up, just ported to hi-def. The story, in classic Resident Evil fashion, has a thick narrative, punctuated with many twists and turns. But I find it less convoluted than most of the other entries in the franchise. Even after 12 years, there were some climactic, and iconic moments I hadn't forgotten that are still as amazing today as they were on the Gamecube. Resident Evil 4 has, and will forever stand the test of time. This is truly one of the best slices of gaming that has, and will ever exist. Resident Evil 4 is one of the few absolute must-have titles for anyone who considers themselves a gamer.… Expand

I can explain this by an example: You have 50 bullets in a shotgun but you can't wait for your enemies to come at you so you can mow them down one by one, This is because every enemy that you encounter can be a threat to you.It allows you to use a series of weapons and upgrade them as well as buy equipment from merchants scattered across the map. To combat enemies you need to pick a target and aim at them and use bullets carefully, It expects you to decide which enemy you should kill first (recommended the strongest) In order to succeed but combat is fun and in Resident Evil you'll need to be careful, stealthy and just plain lucky sometimes in order to avoid a tragic end. The story is a bit far-fetched but the game makes it that it works and the tone of horror and seriousness if never dropped even if they throw in some jokes and stereotypes time and time. The tone of the game is horror and the game does a good job into convincing me that I am in danger. Sometimes you will hear creepy noises like crowing birds or the sound of a chainsaw being cranked. The visuals are impressive as well such as dark stormy weather, unimaginable horrific mutant creatures and interactions with the environment that disturbs me; While steal hanging on to it's PS2-like feel and sound effects! In the end you have a solid PS2-port that not only satisfies but delivers more than the original. I can safely comepare Resident Evil 4 to the atmosphere of another great game: The Last of Us. Although the shooting may be a turn-off to some gamers and you occasionally encounter a glitch or an unattractively generated graphic. The game also does a poor job of explaining where you are supposed to go and how you are suppose to get there. However this does not take away from the games appeal and uniqueness that separates it from other games. I would say this is a must play experience because it delivers enjoyable game play for an 11 year old game and allows you to once again play this work of art and classic… Expand

This is just pathetic, the graphics are worse in this game than they are in Resident Evil Remake and zero. The story is awful and this is the start of the series taking a whole new turn which it's still stuck in.
    Its your money but you couldn't give me this game for free, I wouldn't waste my time playing this nonsense, its pretty clear to me that people that like this game must be completely bored with the lack of choices of "next generation" games that are out now and allowing companies like capcom to sell them them washed up crap that was garbage to begin with. But hey, slap a remastered on anything this days and make a couple of million, but don't expect me to buy into it. Have fun playing nonsense.    … Expand

    Ahh nostalgia at it's best! Played this 10 years ago and now that it's been remastered on the current gen console I said to myself that I need to feel that "intense and satisfying gaming experience" again! And it's cheap too! Even after 10 years the game doesn't look that old. The game play is still solid, the graphics has been improved and of course, Leon is still a badass!

    O jogo funciona muito bem, roda a 1080p e 60fps quase que travados, acontece umas quedas de FPS por uns 2 segundos em algumas partes mas volta ao normal rapidamente. As texturas do jogo estão boas como na versão PC (ou talvez até melhor) e os controles também funcionam bem. A diversão é a mesma que conhecemos no GameCube/Playstation 2, mas agora com gráficos bem melhores.

    This francise needs to end already. This game is proof that resident evil is well past its expiration date. I got bored shooting zombies. That's how bad it is.

    Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games I have ever played in my life. The game features some of the best atmosphere and gameplay ever put into a game. In this entry they finally dropped the zombies and have replaced them with a new type of terrifying foe. I find these new enemies much more scarier than the previous zombies.

I find these new enemies much more scarier than the previous zombies. This game also ditched the 3rd person tank controls and replaced it with an over the shoulder shooter experience. Back in 2005 Resident Evil 4 was the first game to ever do this. Gunplay is amazing and you can really feel the impact from the guns you will be using from the classic pistol and shotgun to the explosive rocket launcher and grenades. The boss fights, a series staple, return here but better than ever and each fight is intense and memorable. The game is very well paced one minute you will be fighting for your life in a creepy village full of crazies to racing through a mine trying to keep balance as monsters attacked you from all sides. The game is also chock full of funny cheesy B movie dialogue that will be sure to bring a grin to your face. The graphics have also aged very well by keeping that stylish Resident Evil look. The only complaint I can make for this thrilling experience is the lackluster ending and slightly clunky controls compared to today's standards. Resident Evil 4 is an experience that cannot be missed! Resident Evil 4 gets a 10/10.… Expand

    I think this may be the most ported game ever... Dont get me wrong a fantastic game but definitely not worth buying again if you have already brought this game on a previous consoles. The graphics overhaul is nice but that's about all is added to this.

    It's great to have this game in all it's glory ported to the next gen. While the graphics from the GameCube port are still the victor the game is still the genuine classic as it always will be. It's a great honor to be returning to this pure action / horror title.

    I loved this game when it came out for ps2 I played through at least 5 times and it never felt old or repetitive.

    Great port of a great classic.
    Very well done port,textures looks very good in 1080p (unlike the **** PS3/360 720p port)and it runs at a fearly stable 60fps.At U$20,00,you got a pretty good deal.even better if you are one of the few people who have never played RE4 before.

    Surprisingly this is the best port by far of Resident Evil 4. I have played from chapter 1 to 3 and so far I have encountered no bugs and little to no fps drops. The textures look great in their 1080p format so you can expect a very smooth and pretty port from Capcom. Great Job Capcom!!

    Veterans 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]

    This 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.

    Resident 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.
