Resident Evil 4 needs no introduction – it's one of the greatest games ever made, after all. And it's coming to the PlayStation 4 in just about a week's time, so Capcom has released the first ever gameplay footage of that version. Unsurprisingly, it looks a lot like… Well, Resident Evil 4. What were you expecting?
At the end of the day, this is still a PlayStation 2 game, so it looks pretty dated by modern standards. But it's running at a reasonably smooth 60 frames-per-second. In the first video, we're treated to the iconic village scene, while the second clip's set in the castle with Ashley a little later in the game. How many of you are going to buy this for, like, the tenth time?

Do we know if this is going to have a platinum trophy yet? It's a tempting re-purchase but a fully deserved platinum trophy would definitely make it more tempting.
I loved this game on the Gamecube and the again on Wii (which will always be the best version) but I won't be getting it again. I really can't wait for the Resident Evil 2 remake (the original still being the best resi game 😉) and Resident Evil 7 as it brings it back to its horror roots.
@CommercialReign It should do.
it looks like RE4.
I have it preordered! Strange that I was charged asap but anyway, for some reason I have no version of this game even though I have played it a lot with my friends.
So, considering that RE2 (and probably 3 after it) is being remade in PS4 we miss Code Veronica and the first Revelations.
I doesn't look much better then any other version.
@CommercialReign @get2sammyb I'm fairly sure the PS3 version didn't have a platinum trophy.
@stevie85 Given that the PS4 versions of Resident Evil 5/6 have Plats, there is no reason to assume this one will break the pattern.
Such a great game! Looks fab at 1080p 60fps on YouTube, super silky.
Fourth time for me, had on Gamecube, Wii, 360 and now preordered on PS4 (I'd buy it at a high price!).
@Link41x Yeah but they also had PS3 Platinum trophies. Hopefully I'm wrong as I would like to play through the game again. It's still so good.
If there is a platinum I'll definitely buy it one more time! This game is one of my all-time favorites! Love it!
@stevie85 - You're absolutely right. I really hope it's not like the PS3/360 versions, with only 12 trophies and no online leaderboards for The Mercenaries!
@Dr_Salvador Really hoping it's not just s straight like for like from the PS3 version. Hopefully it has a much bigger trophy list this time.
@NintendoFan4Lyf
You're correct; the PS2 port had some extra features, but the Gamecube original had FAR superior graphics. It makes sense; the Gamecube had significantly stronger hardware than the PS2. The Wii version was the definitive version until now because it had the Gamecube's visuals with the PS2's formerly-exclusive features.
@stevie85 - Yeah! I was really disappointed when I found out about it! I heard there would be trophy support and online leaderboards, so I was sure that meant platinum and online scores for The Mercenaries... It sadly didn't :/
@get2sammyb sorry to go off topic but https://www.humblebundle.com/
I do believe you meant to say ... ahem .. "GAMECUBE"!!!!
I cant do it anymore. Haha. I bought it day one on Gamecube. I bought it on PS2 and I bought it on PS3. Unless this was a remake from ground up with modern controls and graphics I cannot keep purchasing the same games. I will be getting the Bioshock collection though haha
One of the finest action games ever made for sure. I first played on the Wii though and I just can't play the game without motion controls, so sadly I think I'm going to give this one a mist.
Keep hearing the Wii version is the best version because of the motion controls and how well they work.
But I'm still buying this version too I think.
Welp, time to buy it again I guess, never finish it on ps3 or pc.
No retail no sale i will not buy a game again without the disc.... Capcom bring this to Europe in the stores Namco Bandai has better support then you....
The HD res doesn't fit the old graphics. I actually think the old versions look better than this crap.
I have cube,ps2,PS3,360,Wii versions so yea this will follow. I'll grab the ps4 AND Xone retail versions for $16 each! This is a modern classic being remade for current gen. So this to me is like when a retro classic like centipede, dig dug or Galaga is released on current gen. It's a must buy every time!!
What did I expect? Well, maybe a little effort put into it? A few upgraded textures would be nice, at the very least. Why would I buy this?
So every Resident Evil game on PS4 (REmake, RE: Zero, RE: Revaltions 2, RE5, RE6) has a platinum trophy, except RE4! Capcom you lazy F...
I'm disappointed!
