• Capcom ditches Resident Evil 4 Remake's new, performance-choking DRM - 3 March 2026

  If you want to enjoy the majority of Capcom's latest games on Steam, Denuvo DRM is a piece of baggage you will have to live with. Monster Hunter Wilds, Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil Requiem - all of them use it, and upcoming sci-fi game Pragmata will as well. Strangely, despite its widespread use of Denuvo, Capcom decided last month that for its excellent Resident Evil 4 Remake it would switch DRM software to something called Enigma Protector. However, just 28 days later, it's thrown Enigma out, following reports of performance issues. Read the rest of the story...

• Before Requiem, grab the brilliant Resident Evil 4 remake at its cheapest price ever - 10 November 2025

  As someone who loves the entirety of Capcom's beloved survival horror series (I even played the VR version of the fourth game), I'd say the Resident Evil 4 remake isn't just a revitalization of a horror classic, but an improvement on one of the most groundbreaking games ever made. However, the dreary atmosphere of the original has lost some of its fear factor, not only because of its action focus but also because of its older visuals. Fortunately, the remake brings it back into the modern era, bringing one of the best horror games back to its full glory, and you can score a copy at its cheapest price - right before Requiem finally launches.

• Resident Evil 9 may have been teased in a new RE4 video, and players are having totally normal reactions to it: 'Together at last, like ice cream and pizza' - 28 April 2025

  Camera pans down to capture the back of Chris Redfield as he's addressing his Hound Wolf Squad; there's a new threat on the horizon, an evil threat that's emerged from the BSAA using cloned humanoid bioweapons and exacerbated by some unpaid intern accidentally leaving its cage open. But Chris' elite task force won't be enough for this. Enter from stage right, Leon Kennedy, and Jill Valentine... Read more.

• Resident Evil 4 Remake is one of the best in the series, and now super cheap - 21 January 2025

  In the seven or eight hours it takes to complete the original Resident Evil 4 , you will find more imagination, variety, and creative ambition than in any days-long open-world game. The mechanics are simple. The gunplay is clean. But it moves, with great energy and pace, from one visionary set piece to another. Resident Evil 9 is presumably in the pipeline. A remake of Code Veronica also seems possible. But if you're craving more RE and you've already dusted the superlative original Resident Evil 4 dozens of times, the remake is also an absolute blast. The 2005 game will always win out, but especially now that it's super cheap, the new Resident Evil 4 is a fantastic companion piece. Read the rest of the story...

• Some of the best Resident Evil games are 75% off, for a weird reason - 20 September 2024

  When the Resident Evil 4 Remake came out last year, it enjoyed pretty much the same level of success as the original all those years ago. If you still haven't had a chance to play it, it's currently available at a 25% discount at Humble Bundle, and many of the other games in the series are up to 75% off - but the reason for the discount is kind of bizarre.

• Resident Evil 4 Remake just became the hardest horror game ever - 12 August 2024

  The original Resident Evil 4 is one of the best videogames ever made. Excelling at both tense action set pieces and a consistently entertaining horror comedy tone, the 2005 game is a standout in creator Capcom's body of work - which means a lot from the studio and publisher responsible for Dragon's Dogma 2, Monster Hunter Rise, Resident Evil 2, and so much more. Last year's Resident Evil 4 Remake may not reach quite the same lofty heights as the original, but it's also a good game on its own merits, especially with regards to its redesigned gunplay. Now, thanks to a randomization mod called Biorand 4, fans of its approach to survival horror fights can explore the game's systems even further, turning RE4 Remake into a brutally difficult experience.

• Capcom told Leon's actor to "forget everything" for Resident Evil 4 - 7 August 2024

  There are a few characters that are just built different. For me, it's World of Warcraft's Sylvanas Windrunner, or Dragon Age's Morrigan - perhaps even add Uncharted's Nathan Drake to the list. But my roster is relatively obscure, based around the games I played (and was allowed to play) as a child. While I loved all things gory, my mom wasn't as keen, meaning things like Silent Hill and Resident Evil weren't exactly accessible to me. If they had been, though, I know that Capcom's horror series would have quickly become a favorite, and Leon Kennedy would have defined my childhood as much as the Witch of the Wilds or the Banshee Queen.

• Resident Evil just got proper ray tracing, and it looks amazing - 1 May 2024

  Gorgeous as the RE Engine may be, its support for ray tracing leaves much to be desired, as keenly highlighted in recent Resident Evil remakes. Thankfully, those searching for improved ray traced effects are in luck as modders are finally doing the series justice with proper ray tracing rendering that Capcom had hidden away. Better still, Dragon's Dogma 2 players stand to benefit too. Read the rest of the story...

  The original Resident Evil 4 is one of the finest action games ever made and its remake, which came out last year, is a solid, if less energetic and colorful, reinterpretation of its source material that's still well worth your attention. Fortunately, anyone looking to check out Capcom's lavish reworking of RE4 can now grab a copy on PC for a significant, permanent discount that's brought its price down to $39.99 USD alongside the launch of its Gold Edition.

  Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6 prove that Capcom is still right on top of its game, with the pair being among the best games of the year by many metrics. In a new Steam sale celebrating The Game Awards, where SF6 took home the best fighting game award and RE4 Remake was a nominee for the top prize, both games are given spectacular discounts, making it a great time to grab them cheap.

• Resident Evil 4 remade as a fixed-camera, classic survival horror game - 7 December 2023

  Resident Evil 4 Remake is a terrific example of how to reinvent a classic game without sacrificing what initially made it great. The guns are louder, the combat is tougher, and the visuals are superb, but the fundamentals of the first RE4 remain. Now, Capcom's superlative action horror has been remade again, only this time with a slightly different set of ambitions. Imagining an alternate dimension where Resident Evil 4 was released around 1998, this is the landmark, Leon Kennedy over-the-shoulder shooter but with fixed cameras, 2D backgrounds, and wonderful polygonal graphics, and you can check out the whole thing right now.

• Baldur's Gate 3 gets GOTY nomination, but there's a big game missing - 13 November 2023

  Baldur's Gate 3 is undoubtedly this year's best game in my opinion, and possibly even this decade's greatest, too. With The Game Awards 2023 nearing, the event just announced its nominees for this year's GOTY award. Unsurprisingly, Larian Studios' behemoth RPG is among those nominated, as are other banger games like Alan Wake 2. What is surprising though, is that Bethesda's interstellar entry, Starfield, didn't make the cut for Game of the Year. Read the rest of the story...

  Capcom has revealed that it is working on a successor to RE Engine.

This was all revealed during a presentation at the ongoing RE: 2023 conference, hosted by programmer Tomofumi Ishida. Read the rest of the story...

  There could be some more Resident Evil 4 DLC coming after Separate Ways, at least according to a little detail hidden in the RE4 Remake Steam backend. With Ada Wong finally back in Resident Evil 4 for a full campaign mode, and The Mercenaries also available for free, if we compare to the original Resident Evil 4, that only leaves Assignment Ada absent from RE4 Remake. But whether this is the missing chunk of DLC from Capcom's superlative survival shooter remains to be seen. Read the rest of the story...

  The Resident Evil 4 Ada DLC remains the single missing piece from Capcom's superlative survival horror game remake. A terrific shooter, with the entire Mercenaries mode and much more, the new RE4 remains one of the best remakes ever - but without Ada Wong and Separate Ways, it still feels incomplete. Fortunately, the super spy in the red dress might finally be arriving in Resident Evil 4 Remake , or at least on her way very soon, as Capcom makes a series of changes to the Resident Evil 4 Steam page, and also books its place at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show.
