Resident Evil 4 (2005) News

Resident Evil 4 Remake looks like the best RE since 1996

Especially when it comes to Resident Evil, I'm not easily given to superlatives. I've been with the series since I was 6, and rented the original game for what was then my brand-new, Christmas-present PlayStation. I loved Resident Evil 2. I thought 3 was okay, and the original Resident Evil 4 was terrific. When it comes to RE7, Village, and the beloved remake of Resident Evil 1, I'm a bit of an outsider - for me, those games represent various low points in RE series history, when the creators were either at their most bland and staid, or flailing for something - anything - original. I'm also wary of remakes; it's a gut reaction, I suppose, an instinctive flinching at the game industry reheating old ideas instead of braving something new. I'm not easily given to superlatives. I'm a wizened old soul. But as we head towards the Resident Evil 4 Remake release date, and the next iteration of Capcom's horror game series, I can't resist the feeling that this one's going to be good - like, very good.
