Resident Evil 4 Is Getting A Fan-Made HD Remaster
Resident Evil 7 was good and Resident Evil Village was even better, but Resident Evil 4 is still the best RE game ever made. That's why Capcom chose RE4 to turn into a VR game and why it's been updated, ported, and remastered half a dozen times.
The latest version, Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition, was released for PC in 2014 and provides the usual assortment of graphical upgrades and support for modern hardware. That's the version you can get on Steam if you were to buy it right now. And I truly recommend you do because that version is about to get a whole lot better.

Inventory, menus, and other UI elements also get enhanced resolutions, and those flat objects are being replaced with full 3D models. Throw in some enhanced lighting effects, visual effects, and an improved camera for controlling Amy, and you get the definitive version of Resident Evil 4 nearly two decades after the initial release.
