Resident Evil 4 Was The Game Changer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июл 2024
- Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest games ever made, and its impact on the industry at large can still be felt 15+ years after its release.
Depending on who you ask, Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games ever made and the peak of the series, or RE4 is when the series really started to go off the rails, and its influence hurt the gaming world as a whole.

In fact, I think that some of the backlash that Resident Evil 4 gets is less about the game itself, and how it changed the industry at large, for better or for worse.
I also haven't touched Resident Evil 4 for over a decade...my last playthrough was shortly before RE5 launched in 2009. Part of me kept it that way because of how I held it in my mind, but it was time to revisit Resident Evil 4. Depending on what day of the week you asked me, it was my favorite game.
Resident Evil 4 is still fantastic, although now I think I prefer the 2002 remake as the best Resident Evil game, I still hold it as one of the best games ever made. Often duplicated and imitated, but pretty much never topped. Even the Resident Evil 4 Remake couldn't touch it.

the intro is fucking golden
but fr amazing review and great predecessor to Boulder Punch: the game
j
Thank you for standing by Ashley. You can hate her if you hate escorting NPCs in general, but as far as escorting NPCs goes - she's a dream
Yeah, he was right about the whole Mandela Effect thing: the devs put a lot of effort into ensuring that she wouldn't be a pain in the ass like pretty much every "escort NPC" before the game. I hope whoever had the idea of making her automatically duck when you aimed in her direction got a raise.
If you hated Ashley, you’d probably throw the controller in rage playing SH2 &4.
I don’t like escort missions as much as the next guy,
but having her hide/wait/duck during a fight was a godsend back in 2004.
Her ai behavior is good but it's her voice that is absolutely grating
I normally dont mind escorting npcs, especially if theyre packing heat too, but i fucking hate ashley. I blew her up sooo many times with the rocket launcher, lol.
She makes good bait for enemies in her armor, but otherwise i wished she die early and let me play the game solo.
Agreed with all the replies to op's comment. I still have nightmares about some of the npc's in Dead Rising 😱
The reason nobody made fun of RE4 being rereleased was because new games were still being made.
Remasters are fine, I play RE4 right now on PS2 and goddamn the difference is extremely noticeable. A remake tho - this game doesn't need it
@@steelbear2063 For a PS2 game, RE4 holds up masterfully. It's very carefully cut down.
But it's an interesting experience nontheless.
@@steelbear2063 disagree
@@steelbear2063 Might not have needed it, but I'm damn sure glad they did.
@@steelbear2063
Yup! You were wrong. The remake is incredible. Only the stingiest most delusional fan boy could deny its merit.
WAIT

It's literally just occurred to me that Leon must have contacted Hunnigan whilst he's speedboating away from the Island. He's telling her he's just rescued the subject and is returning home. That means Leon just straight up asked for Hunnigan's number after just rejecting Ashley WHILST ASHLEY IS RIGHT THERE CLUTCHING ON TO HIS BACK. Straight savage.
He is better with the ladies - Luis
Well, technically... He could have reached land and THEN contacted Hunnigan
Dude I noticed that too
She's 16 and he has to be honorable, but that doesn't mean he can't do a little trolling
@@ItsNerfOrNathan Ashley was 20 at the time of RE4

@@grahamcarpenter5135 Piss off with that. You're so fucking vulgar.
Ashley and how she Ducks and Stays Out of Your Way made her one of the Best examples of an escort mission imo. Most are insufferable, but Ashley at least has big ballistics.
LEON? LEON!!! HELP ME LEONNN!!! LEON!!!!
Pick Palisticks Plox
I actually liked the challenge of protecting her while fighting off the Ganados, I felt it was well balanced. Plus it's funny when she hides in dumpsters
She was a terrible escort mission. Don’t let fanboys fool you.
@@synnamon_toast_crunch WHERE ARE YOU GOING LEOOONN!?
I don’t scare very easily but man I remember playing this game on the Cube way back in the day and pissing my pants every time I got to a new room and heard the staggered breathing of those regenerators
Anthony that and the chainsaw reving up. However, RE4 was more action oriented...which some people dig.
Oh the regenerators are excusable to be scared of.
@@alanlee67 it's what got me into the series. If I would gotten into a RE game pre RE4 then it would have been RE3.
Scariest part for me was being stuck in the cage with the garridor
I'm playing RE4 for the first time now (GameCube build, on Dolphin, 5K). It's tense AF.
Everyone: We want more horror games.
Konami: Got it! More pachinko machines!
EA: Dead Space!? How about more online only focused soulless corporate crap!
At least Village is getting dlc unlike RE3 Remake. Although, we don't know when they'll release and how much they cost too.
@@Gruntvc I mean considering how well re7 dlc did, there would be public outcry if they didn’t plan on releasing any for its sequel
Blame Kojima for making Konami almost go bankrupt during his 2 years as VP, greenlighting insane budgets for games that flopped (most of them, his own).
Konami literally CANT make a AAA game.
@@Jose-se9pu you mean like Death Stranding?
@@Jose-se9pu name one
The Village at night was one of the best and immersive levels. I wish that atmosphere was retained across the game. Still it was a good experience.
Definitely the scariest part of the game. Glad Capcom is getting better at balancing good gameplay with good horror as well.
Lol, I’ve seen that Asian face before. Is that some famous model ?
specially once you hear that chainsaw
The part with the Bella Sisters, that part scared the crap out of me as a kid.
They are doing that for the Remake. I kind liked it starting off in the day and then the weather getting worse later. that's just me
For me the most gruesome death was the one you get when the novistador bugs throw acid on Leon's face. It's a kinda rare death, I only discovered it years after I first played the game, back in 2005 :D
i saw that death when i was very young.. and it just got stuck in my head 😣
Not the most gruesome per se but the one where a plaga head bites off your head always unsettled me. I always thought since you blew off the other head they take yours in retaliation and Leon becomes the ganado.
Iron maiden hugs were pretty fucked too
The one where the U-3’s plaga bites your legs off and dangles them.
One thing I love about Dead Space 1 and 2 especially, is that as a new player, playing on harder difficulties will result in enemies getting up and close to you, so you will see the quick time attacks and often the unique deaths per enemy.
Inspired clearly by RE4, but a great design choice nonetheless.
"You'd think that they might send a little more firepower and manpower on such a mission"
Yeah, I thought that was why they sent Leon 🤔
@Emo Gamer R I mean technically they sent two whole teams on that mission, which the mansion wasn't even part of initially anyway lol
@@brendangibson8200 correct me if I'm wrong but weren't those teams actually kinda new at the time?
@@elgordobondiola he said manpower, not experience
It is almost shocking how well this has held up; re-played it myself a few months back and it truly is one of the greatest games ever made. I get the argument that it took RE in a different direction, but just by itself, it’s just so amazingly well-made and so friggen fun
EDIT: also, best inventory system of all time
As Yahtzee said:
In RE4, an egg was the size of an egg
In RE5, an egg takes as much space as an AK74
The thing that made me so willing to accept this game (and give it a chance early on) was specifically because of the inventory system. With a bad inventory system this game might have gone the other way.
yeah even playing it again (after the 20th time) on PC before the big remake comes out. Second playthrough on professional now, will always stay in my personal fav top 10
Honestly, I'd argue that a game's impact on the rest of the franchise isn't relevant in a review of the game itself. That says more about the games following this than this game, imo.
My favorite game of all-time. No matter how many times I play it, I will never get tired of it.
Bro…. Since 2005 and 4 remasters, 30+ play through and I still love it. Always hop on again playing new game professional. Too good of a game that the remake better not fuck up on. Don’t let it be like RE3. Don’t cut shit it and keep to its roots like RE2 remake
@@FunkkyPanda69 i read that there is 0 cut content, that makes me very happy!
The second fight with Krauser was the big troll for me i ran out of ammo twice before i realised i could just knife him to death lol
30:01 holy sh** Ashley takes a zealot to Suplex City! Hot dang, a winner is you
I've played this game so many times... Watched so many reviews/retrospectives... And yet, when a creator I like posts a review about it? You bet your ass I'm going to join to reminisce. At the end of the day, probably my personal GOAT.
Too bad Leon only has his iconic bomber jacket at the start of the game, I would've liked it as some bonus costume, it looks cool as hell
Yuu can use it in mercenaries I think they removed it because it clipped through his model too much in the cutscenes and made it awkward to animate the action sequences, also you probably already know but you can see one of the villager zombie guys wearing it in seperate ways
Boy are you gonna love the remake
Ashley is the OG example when people talk about escort missions, but it's because the game was so important. Ashley is probably one of the best examples of how to do it right.
Osmund Saddler's voice actor also voiced Ralof. 😂
As well as half of the population of Skyrim haha
His voice is ingrained in my head, along with the entire intro of Skyrim.
Meeting Saddler in that church… incredibly atmospheric.
And Gopher in Winnie the Pooh.
@@superplayerex2431 hey u ur Finally awake
This was perfect timing because I just completed this game yesterday I love it
20:15 Judging from how they changed Carlos in 3make (Charming but slightly sleazy puerto rican who shamelessly hits on Jill the minute he meets her to simping nice guy who showers Jill with praise endlessly) I seriously doubt Luis's persona will make it into 4make unmolested.
I agree. :(
"sUp3r c0p." -carlos the siiimp
Yeah, Carlos had to babysit Jill in re3 remake and was simping like that, the guy saves her like 3 times
remake 3 was garbage, destroyed a lot of characters.
@@medalgear654 bruh shut up
Anybody notice when Leon sits in the throne, he sits in a position that makes the shape of the number 4. That's actually genius if intentional.
Leon and the merchant are THE SAME voice actor?!
Crazy right
I was actually the one who told him that on stream and I thiught it would be cool for him to know
Lol nice. Love em both.
So if u kill the merchant u kill ur self reminds me of the doctor strange ending
I originally played this on GameCube after purchasing a used game console from a local GameStop my last year in high school. As an N64 fan, I still have no idea why I waited so long to get in on GameCube (PS2 mainly), but GameCube had a treasure trove of games available with Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, etc. What a time to be alive. RE4 is a classic always and forever. Please Capcom don’t mess up the remake.
M celus912 ps2 and xbox were amazing as well. The last generation that had true killer app exclusives on all consoles. There's really no point in owning all 3 consoles nowadays but back then you had the likes of tekken, final fantasy, morrowind, halo, REmake, metroid prime 1 and 2...all on the list of best games of all time for people exclusive to a certain console.
@@alanlee67 absolutely. That really was a golden age for video games. I never had an Xbox, but PS2…FFX, GTA, God of War, Metal Gear Solid 2 and especially 3…absolute classics! I feel like game development has changed so much nowadays with the primary focus being commercial appeal. Which, it is what it is, at the end of the day, it’s a business. While I did enjoy RE8, I don’t think it will generate the same nostalgic feeling as RE4 several years from now.
Back in the day I bought the GameCube specifically because Capcom said that RE4 was going to be exclusive to that console. That's the only reason I bought. But it really was a great system. Ended up playing alot of games on it.
I have 5 GameCube games and you just mentioned three of them hah! The other two are LOTR:ROTK and Eternal Darkness
Re8 feels like a mixture of every version of re4. Can't wait for the vr and remake.
great review, RE4 is still one of the best RE games of all time, it’s a masterpiece with out a doubt…
It is the best game of all time.
No you fake RE fan
@@captainjaber5610 Fake RE fan you too
@@captainjaber5610 Gta sa is tons of better than this game
@@White927 Ok.
Still holds up even today. I also like how RE4 isn’t super melodramatic like RE5 and especially RE6.
re5 isnt even really melodramatic it just doesnt know when to put on the comedy until youre fighting wesker, and thats at the very end of the game
I just played this game for the first time the other week and it was fucking incredible. Little frustrating at times but it holds up well
I think I like the developer idea of put a challenge at the very beginning of a game and if you can pass it, you can beat the whole game. Bloodborne was my first experience with that idea fighting father Gascoigne. But other games do it too. Much better than spending 20 or so hours to hit a brick wall making you give up.
Will Claire ever get with Leon? Will Chris have Leon and Claire together, continuing the bloodline? World may never know.
Leon literally never ever ever getting Luis' name right is my favourite thing in the script so I'm glad you drew attention to it.
Funny you mentioned it, because Capcom just announced they’re removing the “ballistics” line,, “how bout we do some overtime?” as well as looking up Ashley’s skirt in VR.
That's fucking weak.
Capcom, what the f_ck
With the revelation that it was Facebook that was responsible for the censorship, I hope future re-releases of RE4 keep it in… especially since the Censorship makes Ashley look like a total asshole
@@davidwilson4446 How does it make her look like an asshole?
@@omniscension8967 the part where he talks about her ballistics was cut but not her negative reaction to it so in the VR version Luis shows up and she immediately just goes off on him for no reason
RE4 is probably the most well put-together game I have ever played. It's not even my personal favorite game (I have a couple of Mario, Metroid, Zelda, and Castelvania games over it) but I can't deny its quality.
The more time passes and I revisit RE4, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is a "once in a lifetime" type of experience. I hardly doubt any other game can recapture its harmony between the core gameplay systems available, supreme level design, masterful encounter design, excellent pacing, attention to detail and the complementary yet untouchable artistic vision behind its music tracks and visual fidelity. It's a mesh of accidental and very deliberate creative decisions that took form in such a balanced result, so hard to replicate that not even Mikami himself was able to with The Evil Within 1 and even the Resi team while creating RE5.
Not really about the way it holds hostage the very best of enemy encounters, surprisingly deep currency system, reliable and still open enough gameplay loop, crazy boss fights, the unapologetic bizarre world surrounding it, secrets and somehow infinitely replayable campaign. It's all about how everything mentioned previously blends so well together, because...?
It really shouldn't feel this good or even work this well, except it somehow does and it's mind-boggling to even consider how a creative vision held everything together in such an effective way.
There's nothing quite like it, and for me it's hard to believe that there will be again, which is insane to consider.
Beautifully put
Wow...well said 👏👏👏😉👍💯
I believe Nier Automata has that in common with RE4, there is just ALOT of gameplay there. And also different kinds of gameplay. It will hold up forever because it's FUN. For example, they did the opposite with the latest god of war Ragnarok. Man i hated that game because there virtually is no gameplay other than the thin combat.
I love the first fight in the village, just cause in one quick cinematic it tells fans of the old games: “Remember everything you’ve learned in past games? Yeah, none of that works here. Here’s twenty enemies at a time that can coordinate and go anywhere you do. Oh, and one of them has a chainsaw. Have fun!”
I compare RE4 to Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII, and Breath of the Wild. Where developers are given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do to something new with an established, successful franchise, and they go absolutely fucking nuts. They cut loose with their imagination and go way above and beyond what has gone before in terms of content, production values, structure, design, everything, and forge ahead with the kind of assured confidence and financial muscle that only a franchise with a substantial built-in fanbase can provide. They go the extra mile, because they're on an unprecedented, literally game-changing roll. It doesn't happen often, but it's almost always special.
RE4 is an all-time great that is required playing for anyone who loves game design.
For me, it's all about milking the mechanics as to why people who love game design should play RE4. Mainly because throughout the game if you're not interacting with something with the action button, you're shooting, knifing, or throwing a grenade at it. And it's in shooting, knifing, and grenading interactable objects that truly lend the game its depth.
Badass, you are Stjupid
@@White927 I think he's right
@@thelegendofthem6120 No.
@@thelegendofthem6120 Not so much, he has some right addictions but not all of them true, for example RE 4 ruined RE franchise, and it was not the game changer there was Gta and other games before THAT changed the game industry forever in a good way then it went bad with the 2017-2021's games but there are still good games at least.

The controls are perfect. What are you talking about? It’s very fluid.
@@neurohack9038 The controls are awkward for many people who try it for the first time nowadays because most 3rd person games in recent years don't control like RE4 does. In RE4 you can't strafe, you can't move while aiming, and the camera is more restricted than in many newer 3rd person games. Those differences can take some getting used to.

I just Got IT 2 Days ago
Resident evil 4 and Dead Space are my favorite horror survival games.
I liked the horror in the first DEAD Space and silent hill horror more than Resident Evil but I love the action as long as its RE4, RE3 type of action.
I don't wanna be that guy but... I kinda want to be that guy.
I love both of those games but SURVIVAL horror, they are not. Horror, yes! Survival, no.
Never played dead space but re4 is an action game not survival or horror
I do as well but Tomb raider used to have a touch of spookines to it . Wish they would try harder love it .
@@219Apache ah not since the ps1 has tomb raider been spooky
RE4 will never get old to me. There is nothing like it anywhere in the gaming universe. This was a great essay. Very enjoyable.
Oh what a fun game, thanks for the content man
Glad I found this channel. You really scratch a specific itch with these videos. Also, your channel name is genius.
20:25 honestly, agreed. i am a woman who prides herself on being educated and fighting for what’s right, but i can still recognize when something is truly harmful and when something is just being funny. there’s a fine line there, and barely anything said in the resident evil games crosses that line. it really would be a shame if capcom removed the ballistics line and other lines like it; they’re really not that bad, and removing them would honestly detract from the characters’ personalities. they’re actually pretty funny, and the ballistics line in particular made me audibly laugh.
Yas
Aaaand it's gone.
And clumsily, so now it's confusing why Ashley is mad at him, lol.
I'd suggest that they keep the line in but change the reaction from Leon and Ashley. I think it would be funny if Leon turned into a white knight and ran to defend Ashley's honour before being shut down by Ashley because it was a funny joke. That way the line is kept, it adresses how it could be problematic, and it still acknowledges the humour
@@plebastian2300 i actually really like that idea. it acknowledges the problematic nature of the comment, whilst also giving both leon and ashley good character moments. you should pitch that to capcom lol.
Good video! Still one of the best RE games and one of the best games of all time. Now let's all sit back and pray that Capcom doesn't cut a bunch of content from the remake and does it justice 🙏
I just started this game back up after so many years and was curious about what people thought of it looking back after Village. Great video mate!
LOL the JR "god gawd almighty!" during the suplex was gereat timing. Fantatic video, mate. Cheers
Watching this video with the background ambience made me realise how beautiful RE4’s soundtrack is, especially in the village. I hope to play it some day, maybe when it’s remade :)
It doesn't get enough love.
Fresh content, yes. Thank you my man!
The amount of interesting details you put in the video.
The care about structure!
And finally: 9:41
Subscribed!
20:26 welp so much for that
I think you should give it a shot on Evil Within, it has a lot in common with RE 4 and the weapons are just too fun to use, the sequel to it is just perfect, it's a big open area for you to explore and lots of stuff to collect and some pretty horrendous monsters
I also liked evil within 2, but i can't really remember much of it (unlike RE4)
dude. you are on fire lately with these long reviews! I have big hopes for you man!
Thanks!

OH BRO i'm gonna be happy about this! Finally a way to speak with people normally and not with broken english
In every RE boss there’s a “trick” to defeat, & even knowing that is a trick. As this was my 1st RE game I didn’t know that. So after dying to Gigante the first time, I maxed out all my ammo, health etc. After an epic 20-45 minute battle, every hut demolished, all ammo gone, all health gone, in my still most bravest gaming moment, I charged it with just my knife, and then popped up a banner that said “cut the growth on it’s back”, and it was “ooooooh, that’s what you need to do to defeat it!”
I'm quite surprised you haven't played The Evil Within it's IMO one of the greatest horror games of all time, great atmosphere, sound design, enemy design and it's full of RE references! and it's not easy! You should give it a go sometime it will probably surprise you :) and great review for this game!
Not easy and jumps around too much to be enjoyable. Maybe 2 got better but I couldn't get into it.
This game was so far ahead of its time. Probably more so than any game I can think of
Yea!! Finally!!!!!! I haven’t waited at all for this but I love your videos so here we go!!!!
Resident evil 4 is my favorite one of all time. This is coming from someone who grew up on resident evil 2 n64
"Don't appease the twitter crowd by removing these kind of lines"
Oh boy.
In the vr version they removed the line where Leon looks at a female ganado with the pitchfork in her face and Leon says "well they don't have sex discrimination"
The music in this game is legendary. I agree, but the the castle always did and still to this day creeps me out especially with the music. Re4 will always be in my top favorite games.
Great work my guy! I really enjoy the super chill narrative and how much detail you put in each section of the video.
Personally I have not play this game since my last play through and that was almost a decade ago. Partly because it used to scare the shit out of me not gonna lie. I am super excited about the upcoming remake and I believe that if done right it could be one of the greatest games of all time, after all they already have such a great blueprint to follow.
The only thing I probably disagree (if I can even call it that) is that my favorite section was the village. There is something very eerie and fitting on the RE franchise about a village of innocent people turned into relentless monsters that just feels right. I liked the castle, but that’s definitely where I started feeling as if RE because a little more action packed than before.
Keep it up man, I am always on the lookout for your videos!
Really good video! Just replayed RE4 for probably the 20th time (1st time on the switch). You covered for many important points. We’ll done
Amazing atmosphere, pacing , story , gameplay…when I first played this on GameCube it absolutely blew me away
an expanded mercenaries and a better included multiplayer game for remake 4 would be good additions imo
Yay to more Mercenaries content, boo to yet another lame multiplayer only game.
A proper Outbreak or Operation Raccoon City game or nothing multiplayer from Capcom again.
@@Gruntvc yeah, capcom is missing out by not doing something outbreak related
@@chillyapples4401 outbreak File#3 would be a dream come true for me
@@kingdomkey2262 it would be interesting if they had multiple time periods and locations for it
i know the remake was later
but i LOVE how near the first regenerator all you hear is the breathing, and very low ambient music, people who played re4 original would tense up like i did, and maybe people who never played the original
Hey Boulder punch a couple things
1: I thoroughly enjoy your videos and would say you are definitely deserving of the title most under rated youtuber.
2: The music choice you use from the games is impeccable, from save room themes to title screen music your implementation is perfect.
3: I really think you should try The Evil Within, I am a huge fan of survival horror plus RE and Silent Hill, I think that game is amazing one of my favorites to return to and would love to see you do a analysis of it.
Thanks for another great video and keep up the outstanding work!
Idk if you have done this already, but you should do a review on Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem I think you’d love it
Lmao Gothic 2 has a similar Easter Egg - if you swim too far away from the harbor, you get Gobbled up by a Leviathan-like creature.
Nice video btw - the only RE game I played was the third one on the PS1 back in the day, but I sure enjoyed your take on 4!
Resident Evil: Last Escape (or Nemesis) > RE 3: Remake. X]
Reminds me of Spore.
Loved the video a lot! I loved your page name even more!
Currently doing my first VR playthrough of re4 and man this is awesome. This is also my first VR experience and I don't think I could have chosen a better first game.
The verdugo fight is probably the most memorable fight in the game...( among others ) but this horrible creature can do in very rare occasions , wiggles his index finger and moving left to right in plain "Don't do that "
Right when I wanted it, he delivers. Bless.
I try.

The quick time events in Resident Evil 4 are perfect, there implemented into the gameplay smoothly and the few that are in cutscenes are really just there to keep you paying attention and active
I don't care. There are no good quick time events for me. If you want me to watch the cutscene & pay attention, do it through good dialogue, story, or voice acting. QTEs are incredibly annoying.
Literally subbing to every channel still making RE4 videos lol
Finally!!! thanks dude, i waited for this part of reviewing the series.
When this game came out for GameCube it was pleasantly surprising how long the game was. You got a lot of content for the money. Then the ps2 version came out and you got the Ada missions which were great. The game has aged very well and that virtual reality version looks really fun
Hey that was a damn great video. Really enjoyed to watch it, thank you
Only a few games get perfect review scores, this is one of them.
I didn’t like any Resident Evil game before 4, and yes it is one of the best games ever made.
True. I don't understand how someone can listen to the "Jill Sandwich" line and unironically call it a good game in this day and age
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 I actually don't mind that. There's a charm to campy stuff from the past. 10 year old me just hated any game with tank controls and fixed camera angles. I think REmake is decent though.
@@Guanjyn a lot of sources claim that the camera angles were inspired by Hitchcock movies. Just by hearing that statement, I have my doubts that the creators have EVER seen a Hitchcock movie.
This is the first Resident Evil game where Umbrella isn't responsible for the monsters and bio organic weapons (BOW) creations. Umbrella is gone by this point, and may yet come back.
The Matilda handgun was named after the character with the same name from the movie Léon: The Professional (1994), which also had a main character called Leon.
This Resident Evil used all new enemies that were not in any of the previous games. No zombies, no Cerberus, no crows, no giant spiders, no tyrants, no hunters, no lickers made it to this installment.
This is the first Resident Evil presented in 16:9 widescreen. All previous entries were displayed in 4:3 fullscreen. This is why when the game is played on an 4:3 television it appears to be letterboxed.
The gameplay was changed after Mikami realized that many of the game designers were tired of the same formula used in other Resident Evil games.
The cult name Los Illuminados translates to "The Enlighted" in English.
The parasites, Las Plagas, translates to "the plagues" in English.
During the end boss battle, Ada Wong suddenly appears and throws a special rocket launcher that can be used to kill the boss. The same thing happens at the end of Resident Evil 2 (1998).
Albert Wesker, long-time nemesis in the Resident Evil series, is only mentioned in the main game as the mastermind behind Krauser's and Ada's involvement in obtaining a Las Plagas sample. He makes a visual appearance in the 'Separate Ways' side-missions, though.
When Ada and Leon meet up in Salazar's quarters, Ada sneaks up from behind and (after a brief fight) tells him: "Long time no see". Albert Wesker says the same thing when he approaches Chris Redfield from behind in Resident Evil: Code: Veronica (2000).
Those infected and controlled by Las Plagas are called Ganados. In Spanish, "ganado" means "cattle" or "livestock". However, it is rarely used in the plural (except as a form of the verb "ganar", which means "to win" or "to earn").
The original GameCube version contains a unique glitch where sometimes after reopening a save file, Leon will move sideways instead of forward. If you reset the game and reopen the save file though, Leon will walk straight again. Another glitch caused Leon to move much faster than normal, making shooting and slicing a knife much easier.
During any cutscene in which Leon draws his weapon it will always be the handgun that you start the game with that he draws,even if you've sold it and bought a different one.
The Killer 7 handgun was named after Killer7 (2005), another Capcom game produced by Shinji Mikami. This is the only weapon in the game not to feature an exclusive upgrade.
In addition to the Mathilda, the game pays home to the movie Léon: The Professional (1994) in an unlockable "Professional" difficulty.
Ada's voice in RE4 is so perfect.
Never heard of Haunting Ground till you mentioned it here. Another fine addition to my collection of horror games I need to play
Biohazard.
Psychobreak.
Demento.
Fatal Frame.
Parasite Eve.
Clocktower.
Silent Hill 1.
@@lanceelopezz223 fatal frame and silent hill are the only non-Resident Evil games you mentioned that I have on my list. You, sir, have just expanded my list. Thanks a million bruh
I recently played through this game and it is the best game I’ve ever played
The codec and knife combat really do add some metal gear elements into the game. Made it feel like Leon was a seasoned warrior in this game, and helped give it the feel of a top secret mission.
I love all the DPS cameos in your videos, LOL.
Resident Evil 4 do be the best Resident Evil tho
Been waiting for this! Just finished my like 20th replay of the game yesterday too lol
You simply had to be there. My only experience with Resi back in the 90's was seeing that cover art for the original game, and playing the opening level of RE2 at my uncle's place. Only when I got the Gamecube in 2002, I had to buy REmake, because it looked out of this world. It was one of the greatest video game experiences for me. A year later, I bought RE0, liked it a lot, and then 2, 3 and CVX came out on Gamecube. Bought them, loved them all.
When RE4 was announced, I was worried about the change in gameplay and perspective. Yet, I bought it on day 1. And it's still one of my most vivid gaming memories. It fastly became my favorite game of all time, even to this day, and I replay it once a year.
RE5 was a disappointment for me, but the game grew on me with every subsequent playthrough, and I really like it now. I guess the abomination that was RE6 helped a little with my view of RE5 ^^
A little correction: it's definitely Spain, because they namedrop Madrid in the game, so there is no ambiguity.
I recently replayed this game on the Wii. It feels really good.
I think the remake is gonna be good. In my opinion, the reason RE 3 remake failed is because it was rushed. It was released just 1 year after the amazing RE 2 Remake. With RE4 remake, they actually had time to make it good. I'm optimistic about it. But, if RE 4 remake fails, I'm never trusting another RE remake again.
What do you think about it now?
@@joshuaanderson1712 my 2nd favourite remake behind re2 remake
@21:33
Wow you actually used footage from the Let's Teach Phil How To Play RE4 hahaha!
Whenever I have the chance to dunk on Phil, I will.
@@BoulderPunch Yeah i was the creator of that video so i was pleasantly surprised.
I remember being insanely scared of the village part in re4 cause it felt so real. Reminds me a lot of those mid 2000's horror flicks like hills have eyes and texas chainsaw massacre.
Bro i got resident evil 4 on wii, iphone 3g, PlayStation 4 and recently bought it again on the switch. I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME always have always will. Ill never get tired of replaying it
