As rumors surrounding a modern remake persist, a retro demake of Resident Evil 4 turns the beloved third-person shooter into an old-school PlayStation title. The fourth entry in the survival horror saga dramatically evolved the series' formula and marked a new era for the franchise. While apparent Resident Evil 4 remake leaks claim that the PlayStation 2 classic is getting a fresh coat of paint, one fan has recreated the title in a beautiful rustic style.
The first three Resident Evil titles practically invented the survival horror genre, creating tension by depriving players of resources and forcing them to make life-or-death decisions at every turn. Clunky movement and a fixed camera perspective made survival a challenge in early installments, but Resident Evil 4 removed these barriers to create a more action-focused experience. The game sees Leon S. Kennedy fight through a village of mind-controlled citizens, and a new gameplay system made the journey particularly action-packed. However, rumors suggest that a Resident Evil 4 remake from Capcom will actually make the game scarier while retaining the over-the-shoulder view, allowing it to fit perfectly with the recent Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes.
