GAMES PREVIEW

RESIDENT EVIL 4

OUT 24 MARCH PC, PS4/5, XBOX SERIES

Shinji Mikami’s action-horror masterpiece has been ported to every format under the sun since its 2005 release, but this lavish remake promises a more expansive overhaul. Capcom’s modernisation offers a clear visual upgrade of the original game, bringing it in line with the recent remakes of 2 and 3, while refining the storyline and controls. There are some fresh additions to combat, too: protagonist Leon can now parry attacks, leading to the amusing/terrifying sight of a hand knife blocking a chainsaw’s roaring blade.
