Resident Evil 4 infests Xbox One and PS4 on August 30
One of the greatest games of all time is due to arrive on modern hardware.
Following Capcom's announcement that gussied-up ports of Resident Evils 4, 5, and 6 would arrive on Xbox One and PS4 this year, the publisher-developer has set a release date of August 30 for Resident Evil 4, far and away the best of that bunch.
Resident Evil 4 will run you $19.99 in America, £15.99 in the U.K., and €19.99 in Europe.
Arguably the best entry in Capcom's 20-year-old survival horror franchise, Resident Evil 4 ushered in a dramatic shift in the design of third-person games. Setting the camera over the shoulder and giving you full control over aiming allowed for greater precision as well as extra layers of strategy. You could shoot enemies in the head to stun them, knock weapons out of the air, or target other body parts to open up other possibilities. Blasting foes in legs to set them up for melee attacks such as German suplexes that split their heads like melons and roundhouse kicks that knocked them backwards and staggered mobs closing in behind them.
"This potent combination of exotic weaponry and dynamic enemy encounters is part of why RE4 was not only incredibly innovative for the wider video game
Resident Evil 4 on Xbox One and PS4 packs in bonus content such as Separate Ways, an expansion campaign that lets you play as secret agent Ada Wong concurrent to Leon's adventures in the main story; Mercenaries Mode, a beat-the-clock minigame where you unlock weapons by killing zombies as quickly as possible; and New Game+ outfits like Ashley's suit of armor that makes her impervious to harm in the main game.
Resident Evil 7, revealed at E3 and set for release next January, represents the next evolution of the series.

Have you been on the internet any since 2005? People have been gushing over this game for 11 years and counting. So yeah, play it.

Absolutely. It's still better than most new games.
-
Yes, it's either the best Resident Evil Game or the third best Resident Evil game depending on who you ask.

Third best after which? 1 & 2?
I still think Nemesis is terribly underrated. The concept of a villain chasing you through most of a game is the most innovative thing this series has done. I liked it much more than RE2.-

Exactly. It's the only Resident Evil game I've played, and I loved it. I do plan on playing RE5 co-op one day though.

It's alright. I personally couldn't get past the awful escort mission shit.

Didn't have any issue fighting the enemies, just got tired of managing the girl you had to escort. Had plenty of times where an enemy would spawn in a far corner that I parked her at, so they'd be gone by the time I would get back to her.
