About Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 is the sixth installment in the Resident Evil series and is often noted for its departure from the fixed camera angles of earlier titles. It introduced an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective, faster-paced gunplay, and more dynamic controls. The game features larger, more open environments and a new AI system that enables enemies to coordinate attacks and attempt to corner the player. Enemies exhibit more human-like behavior, such as climbing ladders, opening doors, and using weapons.

I was in my teens when this came out, borrowed a friend's copy, and it still holds a special place for me.

    Je nuancerais un peu, ça reste marquant mais surtout pour l'action, moins pour la peur.

  2. GhostPhoenix

    Ce qui frappe encore aujourd'hui c'est la précision du tir et la fluidité des déplacements, la visée manuelle a un vrai poids sans jamais devenir lourde à gérer, les affrontements de groupe demandent de gérer l'espace en permanence et ça reste extrêmement lisible manette en main.

  3. Silent_Bazin

    j'ai relancé le village au début, celui avec les fermiers, et honnêtement le côté horreur a disparu direct, on est passé en mode action pur, dommage franchement

    Aaron_85

    Entiendo lo que dices del pueblo, pero a mí me pareció que la tensión sigue ahí, solo que se expresa distinto, con la horda en vez del sigilo

    Lo jugué con mi hermano turnándonos cada vez que moríamos, y él se reía más de mis gritos que del propio juego. El ritmo de acción es genial pero da menos miedo que los anteriores.

    EmileWarden

    Same setup here, passing the controller back and forth. Good times.

    Replying to EmileWarden

    Ça reste marrant à deux, mais du coup c'est vraiment un jeu qui fait peur encore ?

    lenoir_bernadette

    Comparé à Resident Evil 2 qui gardait cette tension permanente, ce chapitre a clairement choisi la rapidité et l'efficacité, ça reste un choix qui a payé pour beaucoup de joueurs, non
