I played Resident Evil when I was a child on the starting on the PS1 with Resident Evil 3. I fell in love with this series and played all the games.

I remember playing this game back on GameCube and not liking it so much. I mean, it wasn’t a bad game. But it did not feel like Resident Evil to me.

Recently, I played 7 and 8 which where really good. They feel different than Resident Evil, but they were scary and I enjoyed these games a lot. Still not as good as the classics or the RE2 and RE3 remake.

So what is it about Resident Evil 4? Well, it feels like an action game and less a survivor horror game. It was a linear experience of just moving forward. It lost the metroidvania part of RE for the most part.

I know this game is loved by many and I can understand why it is loved. It is a genuinely good game. It just should not be a Resident Evil game.

    Thanks for sharing that. I’m surprised I’ve never seen it before. You can see some of the same ideas made it to the actual game.

    Is this a leaked trailer or something?

    It’s great that it brought a lot of fans in, but the next 2 games were not really that great. But I’m happy where we are with RE today. So, maybe those growing pains were worth it.

    Now im just hoping for a code Veronica remake.

      I believe this trailer was shown during E3 or TGS. There’s another version that was also shown a year or so later but never released either. It has more of a supernatural vibe to it that people compared to Silent Hill at the time.

      I was a member of an RE fan forum back then where we spent an unhealthy chunk of our lives poring over these trailers.

      Now im just hoping for a code Veronica remake.

      This is what I’m hoping for next as well. RE5 is way too recent to need a remake, but then again I thought the same thing about RE4. Code Veronica is such a good game but is old enough that it could really benefit from updating the graphics and gameplay.

        I always run low on ammo in this game. I think I need to run from fights for frequently.

        I think I only finished it once and I could have used cheats back then. I can’t remember. I also never played 5 or finished 0.

        I need to buckle down and play these games now 😂
