Some of this sentiment is generated from the attention Capcom provided to this particular release. From a purely visual standpoint, the game still holds its own. It’s also fair to ask how well Resident Evil 4 works in 2014.
With all respect to Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4 was the series at its peak surviving horror, in its time and place, was never better. Itself the product of constant refinement, Resident Evil 4 was also part of the mold that cast the league of games that defined the following generation of shooters. In both popular opinion and critical praise, Resident Evil 4 is on the pantheon of games that matter – right along with Grand Theft Auto III, Halo: Combat Evolved, Shadow of the Colossus, Metroid Prime and other fondly remembered titles that defined the PlayStation 2/Xbox/GameCube generation of software. It’s fair to ask whether a nine-year-old game deserves to celebrate another release, and in the case of Resident Evil 4 the answer is an unqualified absolutely. It’s been nearly three years, but the time is now Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition performs just as its name implies it’s the ultimate edition of Resident Evil 4.
2011 brought the game, as Resident Evil 4 HD, to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and suggested that it was only a matter of time until it made a proper showing on PC. 2007’s trip to the Wii became adored due to the attention devoted to the Wii’s unique controller, while the PC port that same year was adored for nothing because it was terrible. Its 2005 debut on GameCube inevitably gave way to an underpowered but more popular PlayStation 2 release later that year. Resident Evil 4 has earned the catalogue releases expected of a game of its stature.
