This being Resident Evil, it of course involves a new virus, weird parasites and all that crazy stuff that is never what it seems, especially when Leon is attacked at the start of the game by a group of angry Spanish mobsters, seemingly upset at their football club’s latest results and must vent their frustration on the American who calls the sport soccer. Kennedy, one of the protagonists from Resident Evil 2, has been sent into Spanish village to rescue the kidnapped daughter of the U.S President. If you have never played or even heard of Resident Evil 4’s plot, all you need to know is that Leon S. I don’t think I need to explain the story for Resident Evil 4. With the growth of Japanese developers releasing their titles on Steam, Capcom has seen it fit to finally bring back Resident Evil 4 to the PC platform, with a port that defines itself as the Ultimate HD Edition of the game, correcting all the issues that were wrong with the original PC port from 2007 and bringing fans the chance to play Resident Evil 4 at 60FPS. As time went on, Resident Evil 4 saw releases on Wii, with some great Wii-remote controls, and also saw a HD release on PS3 and Xbox 360, while the PC platform was seemingly ignored during all this time. Resident Evil 4 has already been released on PC before, but that port was a mess compared to the GameCube and PlayStation 2 releases.

Not only did it reinvent the Resident Evil franchise, giving the series a change of pace after people were complaining the same formula was becoming sterile, but it also single-handedly started a new action genre based around the over-the-shoulder camera viewpoint – having its DNA cloned in most third-person shooters that saw a release during the PS3/Xbox360/Wii era – making Resident Evil 4 one of the most influential games in the past ten years. Resident Evil 4 was such an important game when it released in early 2005 for the GameCube. So much so that we’re covering the nine year old game for a third time with this PC version, titled Ultimate HD Edition. There’s no denying that we love Resident Evil 4 at DarkZero.
