Retronauts Episode 225: Resident Evil 4
Added 2019-06-04 02:26:22 +0000 UTCResident Evil 4 has quietly been one of the most influential games of the past 20 years, and now that a shiny new port is available on the Nintendo Switch, there's never been a better time to dig into the game that redefined the third-person shooter genre. Capcom took an incredible risk by throwing out nearly everything that defined the series for its fourth iteration, and even though it took four attempts to get things right, Resident Evil 4 remains an intensely playable experience nearly 15 years later. On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, and Zachary Ryan as the crew dives into the action game that reshaped "survival horror."
Comments
Great stuff here, Resident Evil 4 remains one of my all-time favorite games and this episode really gets into the weeds as to why. The RE2 Remake is probably the closest any game has come to recapturing that feeling for me, especially in the extra missions that have some of that same action / puzzle feel. The main story is great, but only in the extras is there enough open space to try out some more advanced tactics.
