## Comment : While
certainly you really phenomenal popularity , Resident Evil remains one
of the most controversial series in the world of computer and video
games. On the one hand , Res Evil can boast one of the most intense and unique gaming atmospheres ever created . On
the other - after more than a dozen publications, godfather of survival
horror genre still has one of the most rigid ( and , alas, inadequate )
systems and controls. Interface Resident Evil is not moved and step away from the good old days . Moreover - even games that name long to enjoy fully three-dimensional
graphics engine , its creators and failed to adequately benefit from
this undeniable advantage.
I say all this with the best feeling, just because I'm a great fan of Resident Evil. Why now? The answer can be only one - Resident Evil 4 ! In
short , another ( and brand new ) RE is so different from previous
editions that many ask the logical question - " whether it's Resident
Evil, anyway? " The answer of the father of the series, Shinji Mikami (
writer and chief designer of RE 4 ) , and the producer of the project, Hiroyuki Kobayashi , is: Absolutely!
But let's not get ahead of the news. We start with the bad news - Resident Evil 4 is still planned only as a GameCube release. So far, not even rumors of a change on that front . Thankfully , hereinafter to a good news . First of all, two words for the story. The protagonist this time is well-known to you by RE 2 - Leon S. Kennedy. Meanwhile, it has become a rookie cop from a mature man and a security agent of the President of the United States . The problem is that early in the game Leon is already in a "mild " offshoot , as the president's daughter has been kidnapped . Our man has to fix things , and his investigations lead him to unknown remote village somewhere in Eastern Europe. Incidentally, on the subject of the scene still argue. I read even that history is going somewhere in Latin America. Maybe because one of the first intermediate animations Leon arguing with a guy who pulls him one ... in Spanish. If you ask me , the subjects with which Leon has a care in the last
published video game looks just like Transylvanian Peasants (or at least
the Hollywood idea of the Transylvanian Peasants .
So first mentioned special word associated with RE 4 - " peasants ." Or
in other words - normal people (well , almost normal . Otherwise there
would be what happens in the game. ) Still none warm ? No zombies , man ! Whoops -a , one of the trademarks of the series go? gust. Now you probably will not be surprised if I tell you that the good old " Umbrella " will not even sign . No kidding ! So let's recap - old character , but in a new situation , given the new scenery and - obviously ! - A new " evil force " behind the whole mess . And that's just the beginning!
Let us now move from cosmetics to the essential things. The first thing that made an impression on all witnesses is entirely new approach to the camera, which - surprise! - Is not only not obstruct, but even helped ! Basically it comes back to the point of view of a third person, but with some caveats. One of the most interesting among these " arrangements " is undoubtedly the camera position when shooting . When you press the " making of string " , the camera delivers slightly off over the right shoulder of Leon. Yes, that's right, almost like in Splinter Cell. Moreover, even the playing will be able to switch to the perspective of the first person. When shooting two points are absolutely fair and just up to you which one you choose. And
to make you even easier , most of the weapons of Leon will have
something like a laser sight , which you can aim more accurately at
certain points of the body of his opponent.
