    The port really shows it's age. It needed the RE4 Remake style gun play to modernize the game.
    The tank controls are absolutely awful and people's nostalgia of the game really doesn't show how bad the game play really was.

    While people complain of the remake being "woke?" none of it is woke, at all, even Solidrev on Youtube thinks you don't know what you're talking about. They removed maybe some cringe lines yes, like the famous ballistics but Leon still has some solid 1 liners in this game too. I guess they didn't want to make Luis look like a perv, Ashley is 16 after all.
    While I'm not bashing the original game for what it brought in terms of evolution to the series where RE5 really took full advantage of the twin stick method of shooting, while basing on what RE4 brought in terms of full camera control, the fact they didn't implement these type of gun control at the very least in this port of a PS4 game after the evolution of RE5 and RE6 is a pure cash grab with no efforts at all to improve the game what-so-ever.
    People could have enjoyed the original dialog and graphics with a modern twist in shooting mechanics but sadly this brings nothing new to the table where the Wii gun control did, so very low effort cash grab.
    It's a very lazy port of the game.    … Expand

I'm especially a big fan of Resident Evil 2 Remake. When Resident Evil 4's remake was announced, I was very happy. I had played a little bit of Resident Evil 4 and thought it being remade would be great, but when the remake actually came out, it was too expensive for me to buy so I decided to play the original which I already owned. I played it on my PS4 and really enjoyed it!

    First of all, Resident Evil 4 differs from the previous entries in that it goes into a more action focused direction. This is a very risky thing to do for long-running game franchises but Resident Evil 4 still manages to be creepy. The horror of Resident Evil 4 comes from it's action oriented gameplay. Enemies take a pretty long time to kill with early weapons and ammo for better weapons are rare. Being in moments when you have to think outside the box to survive a tough encounter is thrilling and scary. The weapons of the game are very fun to use. Throughout the game, you upgrade and get better versions of weapons which provides that satisfying feeling of progress. The enemies are also very well designed. When you start the game, the first enemies you encounter are pretty tough but aren't too hard to deal with, but they can easily overwhelm you with their numbers if you aren't careful. Enemies get harder and harder as the game progresses, with some enemies having special phases you have to deal with. This adds both variety and challenge to the game which makes playing through it a satisfying experience.

    The story feels like it exists to drive the gameplay along and I'm totally fine with that for this game. I think it works well as a thing you keep in the back of your mind while you play through the game. The settings you move through in the story are very pleasing to look at. I always felt like exploring around to find any valuables or supplies. There are documents you can read to get an idea of what's going on but they're not as engaging as the previous games which featured interesting little stories and expanded upon the lore. The characters are very humorous in my opinion. I love them to bits. I love how silly they are. I enjoyed every character interaction, which isn't common.

    Overall, Resident Evil 4 is a great game and definitely deserved the remake but the original still holds up to this day, even after the remake's release.    … Expand

    9.8/10.

    Resident Evil 4 is pretty much as good as gaming gets. It is the pinnacle of action-horror. It was an absolute revolution for 3rd person shooters, action games and gaming in general. The gameplay is near perfect. The controls are excellent because the whole game is designed around them. The over the shoulder camera keeps the action at the perfect distance. The weapons using    9.8/10.

    Resident Evil 4 is pretty much as good as gaming gets. It is the pinnacle of action-horror. It was an absolute revolution for 3rd person shooters, action games and gaming in general.

    The gameplay is near perfect. The controls are excellent because the whole game is designed around them. The over the shoulder camera keeps the action at the perfect distance. The weapons using laser sights and having so much punch to them. Fast, accurate aiming with just enough weapon sway, inaccuracy and enemy threat to keep you on your toes and trying to hit your shots. The way enemies consistently react to getting shot and the incredibly satisfying head shots. Following up with a kick or suplex. The game just constantly rewards you for playing well. Taking on enemies with just a knife whether it's for fun or to save ammo or to slash projectiles out the air. Watching enemies fall off edges after being shot. Pushing the ladders while enemies try to climb it. Shooting through doors. kicking doors open to damage enemies on the other side. Getting enemies to group together and throwing an incendiary grenade into them. Leaping out windows. The set pieces and bosses. Crowd control. Repositioning when needed and not knowing exactly what's behind you while doing so. Using the environment to your advantage. Getting your head taken off in one horrific hit. The enemy variety. The weapon variety. They somehow made you not hate escorting another character. The list goes on and on and god damn it's all so good. The pacing is so well done as well with the game constantly throwing cool new things at you but also knowing when to slow things down a bit. The developers didn't even stop after creating a brilliant, lengthy, highly re-playable main story, they went and did more. The Mercenaries mode is really addictive. Then there's Separate Ways and unlockables too.

    The story, characters, dialogue and cut scenes are ridiculously entertaining and well directed. It's so goofy and fun. God damn it's all so fun, remember FUN. It's like the only questions asked when making this game were - Is it fun? Is it entertaining? Does it play well? Does it fit in? If Yes then put it in the game. It's like they had no fear of risks and were just totally confident in what they were making, which is surprising if you know the story of this games development. The tone and atmosphere is handled perfectly. Seriously how did they do this. The game can be silly and/or over the top one minute and then have no problem being more serious the next. It also can be genuinely creepy at times. Or surreal or bleak. It definitely delivers on the body horror and gore too.

    The game looks and sounds top notch as well. It was one of the best looking games available when it came out. The art direction is fantastic. The village is cold, bleak, isolated and hostile with something gruesome around every turn. The castle is surreal, sinister and uncomfortable. It's so opulent and ornate but something is very off about it and there are traps everywhere. It kind of reminds me of the mansion from the RE 1 remake. The Island is grimy, dirty and industrial and does have some great creepy sections but it's visually more generic and forgettable unfortunately. They nailed the character and enemy designs too. The voice acting is exactly what was needed. The enemies sound harsh and scary. The guns hit hard and all the gross noises are spot on. The soundtrack is superb and so are the ambient sounds.

    However no game is perfect and Resident Evil 4 is no exception. The worst thing about this game is that it wasn't survival horror and it put an end to Resident Evil being a survival horror franchise as they went down the action-horror path from here on wards. The puzzles are also not the best but I guess really good puzzles would have bogged down this games action focus and pace. The Island is also not as good as the first two locations. I think this is mostly due to the first two areas setting such a high bar, the industrial setting feeling more generic and maybe being a little too action heavy at times. Looking back at the game now I think it did overuse the quick time events as well. As cool and well done as they are it gets a bit much, especially when your on like the 20th play through.

    If you have never played it before do yourself a favour and play it now. I highly, highly recommend Resident Evil 4. I still remember buying my collector's edition just after launch, which is still on my shelf, and playing it all day. Then I bought the Wii version and played it to death again. Then the PS3 and then the PS4. I think I am going to be playing this once every five years or so until I die. Some people try to dismiss this game's high praise with statements like "It's just nostalgia" or "You just think old good, new bad." But they are wrong Resident Evil 4 really is just that good. This is what lightning in a bottle looks like. I just wish they put more love into this port.    … Expand

    Pretty tame for a horror game which I’m all for because I’m a baby. The atmosphere and music is very good, but they forgot to upscale the cutscenes for the Separate Ways campaign, they’re still low quality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Normal Mode - 8/10
    Resident Evil 4 is an outstanding game with a solid game loop, tense inventory management, and a derelict atmosphere that drew me in. The world is captivating to explore, with five giant landmarks to discover. However, the game dragged near the end due to the sheer amount of content.

    One of the downsides of the game is the QTE segments, which can be frustrating. Additionally, the cutscene dialogue and voice acting can be corny and it does detract from the immersion of the game. Another issue is Leon's plot armour. For example, when Sadler kills Luis but Leon is spared for no apparent reason, or when we are in the barn house with Luis and surrounded by zombies but they simply leave us alone. It can break immersion and appear forced.

    Separate Ways - 9/10
    Some plot points go unresolved in the main game but are explained in the "Separate Ways" mode, which adds depth to the story. It recontextualized the main game's events, addressed plot points, and teased the next instalment in the series, Resident Evil 5. It was short and sweet.

    Pro Mode - 8.5/10
    I skipped all cutscenes and concentrated solely on the gameplay, I ended up pushing both myself and the game mechanics to their breaking point. This is when RE4 felt like a true arcade game and I had a blast!

    Overall - 8/10
    Resident Evil 4 is a great game with its fun gameplay loops, tense atmosphere, and captivating world. While it has some flaws such as QTEs, corny dialogue, and plot armour, the overall experience is highly enjoyable and left me wanting more!    … Expand

Kennedy, players can more smoothly traverse a richer, more open world while taking on the hordes of smarter enemies with a mix of layered gunplay and satisfying roundhouse kicks. Quirky puzzles provide balance and unlockable content increases replayability in a game that paved the way for many of the biggest hitters to follow.

    Resident Evil 4 has aged in ways, but what it did to modernise third-person action is undeniably timeless.

    This game was perfection when it first came out. If you haven't played it, the remake is coming out soon and it MUST be completed and experienced. Although, I know it's old and sometimes harder to get into older games because old games are old. But if you love gaming and game's history this is one you can not afford to miss.

    Ashley wasn’t the worst escort mission I have came across she never assisted although I was able to defend and protect her well enough from the enemies so I never had a problem with her at all.

    The game drags on way too long in my opinion it should have stopped at the castle part but it continued to the island which is my least favorite part of the game.

    The story was mediocre it was alright although saving the president’s daughter All by yourself without any assistance expect for the few occasions and the cliché antagonist make it not great although the extra story mode separate ways was great The replay value is astounding I have never seen a game where I enjoyed it to it’s absolute fullest till I played this absolutely great

    I know this one is irrelevant but the inventory management system in my opinion was better than the other titles and it was satisfying cleaning up and organizing it if anything I spent more time organizing than playing the game Overall 9/10 Good game with some minor downsides story not being survival horror but action focused horror the qtes although it revolutionized the world and holds up for anybody interested in action video games this is a must buy.    … Expand

    The Resident Evil games are one of my favourites since their creepy, have great atmosphere, horrifying monsters, great weapons, challenging puzzles and a great plot. Resident Evil 4 is just has good has the previous games, one thing I like is that Capcom have gone in a new direction for this game by getting rid of the camera change style and instead having the game camera right behind Leon, the aiming has changed so that you can now aim in any direction. The locations are just as atmospheric as the previous games and the cut scenes are fantastic to look at. Another new thing about this game is that you are no longer fighting Zombies and Mutants crated by the T-Virus but instead people that have been taken over by Parasites called the Las Plagas.

    The game is set some years after the Racoon City incident and Leon S Kennedy is no longer a rookie cop but a agent working for the government, his assignment is to go to Europe and enter a small village near by where the President's kidnapped daughter Ashley may be, when Leon encounters one of the villagers he tries to kill him so after killing the villager more show up wanting to kill Leon, going through the village Leon discovers that something is not right with these people and after find a man named Luis and being knocked by the head of the village he wakes up tied up to Luis then after breaking out Leon continues searching for Ashley and once he finds Ashley in their church he discovers that they are both carriers, since they injected the Parasites eggs into them so then they not only do they have to escape from here but need a way to stop the Parasites before they take control of them and they become like the villagers.

    I'm not going to give out anymore of the games plot over wise it will ruin the fun. Resident Evil 4 is a great entry to the franchise and is definitely worth playing. 10/10    … Expand

    Dear reader,

    I liked the plot and the action. It has suspense, too. The drawback, in my opinion, is the camera: when you try to look around, it will automatically turn back to the forward view in a matter of seconds, not giving you the time to observe the surroundings. Another issue is the graphics, which reminds of games at least a decade or even more before RE 4 was made.    Dear reader,

    After finishing Resident Evil Village i can say that Resident Evil 4 still remains as The King. But that doesn't mean that i didn't like Village. Village was actually very good and it was really cool to see that they very clearly took inspiration from RE4.

    You would think they would at least upgrade a few textures in this edition, but nope. Resident Evil 4 is still a gem though.

    I don't know how but the PS2 game in 2021 still much better than almost all new games. The plot, gameplay and atmosphere are awesome. Of course graphics is not that good but it's not the main aspect of the game.

    After beating it I'm afraid of Spanish language :)

    Damn the work Capcom did for the PS3 version of this game was good but the PS4 version is absolutely perfect. It still looks and feels and has the atmosphere of re4. But now it's in a beautiful 60fps and looks crisper and nicer than ever.

    Even though the game definitely shows its age in regards to graphics, controls and puzzles. Getting used to those controls definitely takes some time, but the gunplay is STILL fantastic, satisfying and addicting. I've been playing for hours on end.

    Resident evil 4 is a truly special game. The game blends action with survival so well that it effortlessly shifts you from feeling a badass to being vary of every bullet used.

The game blends action with survival so well that it effortlessly shifts you from feeling a badass to being vary of every bullet used. At first not being able to move and shoot felt archaic but if you can get over it the feeling of tension created when deciding to move or shoot adds to the atmosphere. While the game mainly consists of exploring solving basic puzzles and dealing with the many creatures that get in your way, the game avoids tedium by giving you many different scenarios, set pieces and boss fights keeps the game feeling fresh throughout its entirety. The mystery and intrique is a mainstay of the resident evil series and resident evil 4 continues this trend by giving you many questions to answer near the beginning and by the end all of these questions will be answered in a satisfying way. The campaign is far longer than the other RE games I've played, but it never gets stale through the variety mentioned above as well as the traditional resie experience. The campaign consists of five chapters that are broken into stage sections. The game takes the RE3 approach of having multiple areas instead of one big area like RE1 and RE2 but unlike in RE3 you spend such a long time in each area that they all create their own identity and are at least half as big as previous games main areas. This allows the game to give you variety in setting but also supply enough depth in each area to make them memorable. The story and characters are also a highlight as wise cracking Leon bounces off every other character brilliantly with smartass quips and other characters enrich the world and returning characters make us wonder what is really going down here. At times you have to escort the president's daughter which sounds like it would be an horrible escort mission. But it's actually not. you have enough control over her to keep her out of trouble and her inclusion allows for unique set pieces to occur making her inclusion a beneficial one. The game also has side content including a side campaign that shows one recurring characters perspective throughout the game as well as a arcade like mode where the objective is to get as many points as possible by killing enemies. This game definitely leans into the action genre but does not forget it's roots and brings them along for the ride creating for me the tied best RE experience so far and one of the greatest games of all time.… Expand

    Very entertaining and well paced RE title. It’s not as scary as the previous games and RE 7 forward but it still maintains the feeling of isolation and overwhelming odds that works so well for the series. Unfortunately, RE 5 and 6 copied this game without understanding why it worked so well.

    The game definitely doesn't meet expectations, the controls are confusing and the levels require gameplay techniques and a lot of attention that turn the game into something exhausting. Moreover, the character Ashley gets in the way of the story, since she always gets caught by zombies. The plot could be much more developed. Anyway, the game is very frustrating.

    Just a heads up. I'm reviewing the current version of the game for the ps4. I never played the first release for the ps2.

    Graphics / Sound / Atmosphere.: I can only imagine that the graphics were really good on the ps2. The atmosphere was still fine even though the graphics aren't up to date at all. I won't rate the technical side however as the game is already way to old and it would not be fair.

    Gameplay.: This is the part were I truly was disappointed. I really like the boss fights. Most of them are still fun to play but those endless enemy waves. This is just another level. It sometimes is mixed up with puzzles but all in all there are way to many parts of the game were you just have to shoot one enemy wave after another. I was really anoyed after some time, especially during the last bits of the game and I just wanted to get it over with (the checkpoint system and clunky controls didn't help either). Don't get me wrong. As a whole it was still enjoyable but I just expected more out of it.

    Conclusion.: I really needed to push myself through this game after a while. The gameplay is fine as a whole but those million enemy waves were frustrating. The cutscenes were fun to watch and the atmosphere is still OK. I don't think you will miss out much though if you don't pick up the remaster. I would rather wait for a remake if capcom should release one.

    In terms of puzzles, I only needed once to check on the Web for help. Also, the camera, brought me a feeling of claustrophobia since it limits your point of view (you turn left or right and, after barely a second, it forces you looking ahead).

    Another important aspect, for me, is that there are no sexy female heroines with sexy clothes and the like. I prefer when I play a video game to actually play a video game rather than watching something else.

    Eventually, I would recommend it.

    On PS Store, when ON OFFER, much cheaper than retail.

    - Somewhat good story line - Cool main Character Now for the cons: - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE GAME PLAY MECHANICS. for example: - rotating screen is non-functional - head shots only work 40% of the time - can't move when wielding A KNIFE - Aiming is also non-functional - Movement is only about half-functional Now back to the rest of the cons -    First, Lets start with the pros

    - Movement is only about half-functional

    - Basic enemies are dumb and extremely repetitive
    - You die at completely unrealistic times
    - Shooting enemies from afar DOES NOT WORK
    - Middle of combat random cut scenes
    Oh, and did I mention that you CAN'T move with a KNIFE in hand
    and that rotating the camera with the right stick is HORRIBLE and USELESS

    Come on guys. If you reviewed this with anything higher than a 4 you are lying to yourself.
    Don't let nostalgia cover your mind up of it being a next to unplayable ported game.    … Expand

    Con este juego, la saga cambia su modo de vista a una cámara por encima del hombro y con un control total de apuntado. Pasa de ser un survival a quizás tener algo mas que acción, aunque todavía tiene esencia de Resident Evil, las ambientaciones están muy conseguidas y la acción es bastante buena.

    So far the best port of RE4 and the last canon RE game in the series. Everything after 4 is a cashgrab a joke of once legendary series.

    Resident evil 4 was a big departure from the series and while some elements such as tank controls exist it's otherwise its own game, with plenty of variety in gameplay, environment and while the story is a tad wild reading all of the files helps fill in the gaps you may wonder as the main story plays out, however this review is going to focus on the "remaster" aspects so I'll keep itResident evil 4 was a big departure from the series and while some elements such as tank controls exist it's otherwise its own game, with plenty of variety in gameplay, environment and while the story is a tad wild reading all of the files helps fill in the gaps you may wonder as the main story plays out, however this review is going to focus on the "remaster" aspects so I'll keep it brief.

    Graphics have taken a slight hit, cleaner but the jaggies have been highlighted due to the HD job so if you are picky on ps2 era graphics been highlighted this may be an issue, another problem is a glitch that despite all this time ALL versions of the HD remaster (even the recent switch version) is an aiming glitch which can be detrimental if not disabled right away (shoot an explosive and your hands go crazy making fine aiming difficult, only way to shut it off is to do the same action again and if nothing to pop is about it will affect fine aim).

    If you can get it cheap its worth it if you never played re4 and like your action games, but if you have the older versions (specifically, wii and ps2 which have all content) its a hard sell    … Expand

    Es un buen port, el problema es que no va a 60 fps al hacer ciertas acciones como recargar el arma y la ausencia de un modo multijugador la verdad es que es una vergüenza.

    Not sure how but this PS4 port is the first time I've ever played Resident Evil 4 and boy have I been missing a lot! The game is filled with memorable sequences, creepy locations, challenging action, and hilarious campy dialogue. The pacing of the game is nearly perfect. Granted, the castle and island parts of the game do not quite compare to the unforgettable village portion, but despiteNot sure how but this PS4 port is the first time I've ever played Resident Evil 4 and boy have I been missing a lot!

A masterpiece and definitely one of the best games ever made.… Expand

    Resident Evil 4 is one of the best and most influential action games of all time.

    This is the game that ended the classic survival horror era of the first Resident Evil entries. From RE4 onwards, no RE main entry would return to its survival horror roots until RE7, meanwhile Capcom released a bunch of spin-offs such as Revelations but still they never embraced survival horror.

    This is the game that ended the classic survival horror era of the first Resident Evil entries. From RE4 onwards, no RE main entry would return to its survival horror roots until RE7, meanwhile Capcom released a bunch of spin-offs such as Revelations but still they never embraced survival horror.

    RE4 isn't really a Resident Evil game. Horror gets tossed outta the window and it's more of an action shooter game with a focus on survival. Tank controls still exist in how you move and aim, it's a 3rd person perspective instead of fixed camera angles. There is even a merchant from whom you can buy upgrades and ammo. The enemies are not zombies but mutated humans, they are slow but also carry weapons and often transform into monstrosities. Even the (nonsensical) story has nothing to do with Resident Evil lore, RE4 could easily have been named something else and no one would complain.

    But RE4 is still a great game from 2005, even though its admittedly clunky controls and outdated gameplay haven't aged well compared to 2019 standards, it requires some getting to grips with. Enemies can be shot in different points and react differently. You escort Ashley and have to shield her. You survive countless challenging encounters (the introductory fight "welcomes" the players before they even get to grips with the game). The innovative over the shoulder camera later became a staple of games such as Gears of War and many other 3rd person action/shooter games. And the various boss fights are mostly good. Surely RE4 has plenty of "meat", it took me roughly 20 hours to beat it. Some of it was great, some of it was meh, but overall it was good.

    On PS4, RE4 runs at 60 fps, but there is some noticeable aliasing around ground textures. Thankfully it's no big problem, but I wish Capcom had worked a bit more on this port.

    RE4 is still one of the best games of its generation, but if you haven't played games from that era before you'll be instantly annoyed by the clunky controls and the lack of auto save. It's fine to play on PS4 and even other consoles and PC, but I wish someday Capcom release a true remake of RE4 instead of just another lazy port to the next generation PS5 console. Hopefully now that Capcom are on a good roll and released the RE2 remake, they will keep remaking the old games.    … Expand

    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.
