One Thing ‘Resident Evil 4’ Did Exceptionally Well
When a franchise has been around as long as Resident Evil has, there’s going to be some scuff marks on its legacy. If you were to look at the series’ timeline since its debut in 1996 to today, with all its highs and all its lows, arguably the highest high came in 2005, with the release of Resident Evil 4. That game changed everything. Its impact on video games and especially the third person genre are still felt today, but it’s the changes it had on the series that’s divided fans.
The problem is, for as great and as revolutionary as it was at the time, many people can’t help but see it as the game that led us to one of the most polarizing games in the franchise, Resident Evil 5, as well as one of the most disappointing entries in the main series, with Resident Evil 6.
If you can set that point of contention aside for just six minutes, do that. This way you can better enjoy this new video from YouTuber Mark Brown, who recently featured Resident Evil 4 in his “Game Maker’s Toolkit” series. Watching it might help you understand one of the reasons why this game was so innovative, and why it’s still one of my all-time favorite games today.
Once you’re finished, I’d appreciate it if you would share your experience with RE4, and specifically what you liked or didn’t like about it, in the comments below.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
