Footage Shows What Resident Evil 4 Could Look Like as A ‘Demake'

Resident Evil 4 is one of the most beloved entries in the long-running horror franchise, and this video shows what it could look like as a retro game.

In the recent clip, which was uploaded to YouTube a couple of days ago, the Rustic Games BR channel shows two and a half minutes of action from a retro-looking version of Resident Evil 4, which gives it a look that fits in more with the first three games of the series as opposed to what came after it. This version includes tank controls for Leon, fixed camera angles, and it even appears to sample the footstep sounds from the older titles.

In the video, Leon can be seen during the first encounter with Resident Evil 4's El Gigante boss. The whole thing is very reminiscent of an RE game from back in the day, before the fourth installment completely switched up the formula. Sadly, it appears as though this is just for visual demonstration purposes only, and it's unlikely that the creator will be looking to release any kind of RE4 demake for public use.

There’s always a couple people who have to come into any RE4 related thread saying they wished they had the crappy ghost version… Didn’t take long.

Be happy with the 10/10 game we got.

Resident Evil 1.5 restoration project already tried an over-the-shoulder Resident Evil on Playstation. The colosseum arena, which is of course based on Dino Crisis 2 colosseum.



I could see the iOS/BREW version of RE4 working on PSX as well. It was a very simple game with very constrained arenas. And Ideaworks 3D tech was based on Playstation anyway.

The Demake trend is a bit overdone at this point.

Crappy ghost version? Rumours are Capcom are implementing more of the horror and RE4beta ( ghost mansion stuff ) into the RE4 Remake. Because thats what RE fans want, classic horror feeling gameplay.

Luckily they have been going back to that forumula with RE2 remake, RE7 and RE8, metroidvania with survival horror feels. Instead of the action oriented machine gun shooting, enemy suplexing gameplay of RE4 ,5, and 6…

RE4 was amazing, with some great all time bosses but having recently played it and killed 1000 enemies before the end I realised this is where RE left the survival horror gameplay and went action.

Supposedly they might be adding more RE4 beta ghost/castle things into the new RE4 remake
