Retro First Hour - Resident Evil 4

Today we’re diving into one of the most legendary survival horror reboots ever made — Resident Evil 4. Capcom reinvented its own franchise here, trading tank controls and slow scares for over-the-shoulder action, high-stakes intensity, and a village full of locals who really don’t appreciate unexpected visitors. One minute you’re barricading yourself inside a creaky farmhouse while chainsaw-wielding villagers crash through the windows, the next you’re suplexing cultists because Leon Kennedy has apparently taken some pro-wrestling lessons since Raccoon City. It’s stylish, tense, and wildly influential — the game that changed third-person shooters forever.
