![]() I’m trying to skirt the line between not going over the story for those that know it, as well as hook in those that missed it the first time around. Again, if it sounds like I’m being vague: I am. Oh, and a mysterious lady in a red dress. Leon discovers this the hard way, when just about everyone turns on him with creepy, red-eyed fixation.Īlong the way, he meets new allies, untrustworthy types and a former comrade with a penchant for sharp, stabby things. Also somewhat parasitically, it allows the strong-minded host a sense of subjugation and control over the lesser-intuned. Specifically, the Las Plagas parasite one that takes over a host body and exhibits some rather gross mutations over time. This being a Resident Evil, there’s the usual gamut of infectious things and body horror galore. Whilst they seem like a destitute and rural community, there’s something more sinister underneath. One that worships their overseeing god-like figure, Lord Saddler. Leon, foppy-haired secret agent (complete with reworked face from the RE2 remake) discovers a very closed-off community. So rather than do the school report format of “…and then this happened and then Leon did a flip and shot the baddies”, I’m going to give the abridged version and discuss what’s new. It does feel odd recapping the story of an eighteen year old game, mind. They reach the end of the beaten track, one copper steps out for a relief break.Īnd it all goes wrong… “Where Are They All Going, Bingo?” ![]() Talks of hikers disappearing, that kind of thing. Well, they know the direction they’re going is renowned for being a bit off. All seems routine, the cops seem nonplussed about it all. Aided by the local police, the trio are off the beaten track and entering a rather backwater-style of community. The target of rescue is the President’s daughter, kidnapped and held somewhere in Europe (yet they all speak Spanish). Now a special agent with an array of skills, Leon is sent on a rescue mission. Leon Kennedy, winner of the Unluckiest First Day on The Job Award, has survived Raccoon City and been “recruited” under President Graham’s special squad. It’s been six years since Resident Evil 2. It’s a trip… One Hell of a Career Projection Well, prepare yourself as yours truly, a Resident Evil fan, puts one of his and just about everyone else’s favourite games through the remake wringer. But what about itself? Did it really need a remake when it’s so readily available on every format, old and current? Is it just another remake akin to Shadow of the Colossus and The Last of Us Part 1, or is there enough of a change to warrant it? Ported about as many times as Skyrim (I don’t want to commit as this constantly changes), even its own style was used in the Resident Evil 2 remake back in 2019. But then it did come out, did absolute gangbusters, and cemented a newer style of gameplay that was often replicated. ![]() Going through many changes, one so radical that it was turned into Devil May Cry, the path to it was a winding one indeed. The history of the original Resident Evil 4 is a great story in itself. Is it what we need, or are we sick of this title by now? The Finger Guns review: again!
