Capcomhas announcedthat they’re releasingResident Evil 4 Gold Edition, which contains the base game and all its DLC, on February 9. If you’ve been holding off from buying theResident Evil 4remake until you could get everything in one package, your day has come.
Just in case youaresomeone who was waiting to playResident Evil 4, the following trailer is crammed to the rafters with spoilers, so maybe don’t watch it.
TheResident Evil 4remake came out last year in March. It’s a pretty faithful retelling of the adventures of Leon “Sandypants” Kennedy in the 2005 classic with updated gameplay, shiny graphics, and a maybe less ridiculous tone. Just a bit less. Then, in September, Capcom releasedThe MercenariesandSeparate WaysDLC, the latter of which remakes an additional scenario that first appeared in the PS2 port. The latter was also paid DLC, while the former is free.
On top of that is all the paid add-ons. These are additional weapons, costumes, treasure maps, and the original soundtrack. Unfortunately, they never got around to a costume/scenario/mode that involves Tofu, so I’m rather whelmed.
I reviewed theResident Evil 4onrelease last March. I enjoyed it, but some people in the comments were very insistent that Ididn’t enjoy it enough. It did, however, winDestructoid’s Best Remake/Remaster of 2023, beating outDead SpaceandSuper Mario RPG, so that’s high praise in a great year of remakes/remasters. However, if that wasn’t enough to get you to try it out, maybe an all-access pass likeResident Evil 4 Gold Editionwill convince you.
