Certainly, that had an influence on the action hero feel of Leon S.
It WAS meant to bring the series to a whole new generation, one being fed tons of World War II shooters. And who could blame them? RE4 was a coup, released exclusively on the GameCube instead of the PlayStation. Many fans think RE4 marked the beginning of the end for their beloved series. RE4 was the fusion of both, playing ball in both courts, one second you’re in Silent Hill and the next you’re Duke Nukem.
Every other zombie game is one side of the spectrum or the other, focused on survival horror (where you’re trying to escape the zombie danger) or zombie-bashing action (where you ARE the danger). Because RE4, in its change of gameplay and perspective, its revamping of a story that had (in a way) grown stale, and genre mixing (from survival horror to third person shooter/action), is the epitome of what a RE game should be: action-packed, moody, and still capable of scaring the s*** out of you (especially in that goddamn castle). What other Resident Evil game has received as many “remasters” as 4? None of them. The Ultimate HD Edition won’t make you feel like you’re playing Resident Evil 4for the very first time (unless you are), but it will remind you why you’ve loved the game so much since 2005. It’s the people that remember the great story, tone, and pacing of Resident Evil 4that go out and purchase these “remasters,” hoping for a new experience with a game they love so much. But what I’ve realized is that developers aren’t really marketing these games for a brand new generation (like what Virtual Console did by releasing the ORIGINAL version of a game, and if you don’t like it, you’re just not a cultured gamer, kid).
