By fixing the camera over the player character’s shoulder and emphasizing quick reflexes and precision aiming in its gameplay, Resident Evil 4 completely redefined the genre and was quickly embraced by both critics and players, many of which were completely new to the series and had never played a previous title. Departing from the fixed camera angles and strong survival horror of the originals, Resident Evil 4 was a third-person shooter unlike any other at the time. Upon its release in 2005, Resident Evil 4 was unlike any other title in the series.
Leon fights off mutated villagers, gigantic beasts, and even sinister cults, eventually reuniting with mysterious spy and one time fling Ada Wong along the way. Kennedy, one of two protagonists from Resident Evil 2, who has been promoted through the ranks and is now on a mission to rescue the President of the United States’ kidnapped daughter in totally-not-bizarro-Spain rural Europe. So imagine how I felt when I heard that the latest Resident Evil entry to get the HD treatment would be Resident Evil 4. I’ve played nearly every game, despite the original being released when I was only four, and my profile image on this site is a shot of my Jill Valentine cosplay so it’s fair to guess that when I hear one of the games is getting an HD re-release I get a little excited. If there is a series that I can claim near encyclopedic knowledge of, it’s Resident Evil.
