How Resident Evil 4 Revolutionised Survival Horror

48 Comments

1. RE4 is not survival horror. Its an action game casuals

2. Meh 🫤 I think it’s for the fans

3. Unfortunately Capcom lost that pace with 5 and 6 and then changed the formula and brought back our love for the series in 7 and 8.

4. Disagree. Did not revolutionize. Just made it for the COD kids. Ruined Resident Evil.

5. You can’t judge the quality of an entire game from a demo. At first they were saying that RE3 remake was better than RE2 when they played the demo but turned out to be way of the mark on that one obviously

6. NOOOO!!! ITS THE LAST OF US WHO REVOLUTIONISED SURVIVAL HORROR!!!!!!

7. 4:20 minutes ?

8. The over the shoulder play style is what’s truly revolutionary about this game. It’s been replicated by so many game ever since & is still the standard today

9. Dude…
   Iam bored this topic is discused again and again…
   Stop being overated.
   Even the new remake npc enemy is far too behind last of us ps3 in term of motion.
   Too stiff slugish and soulless.

10. Masterpiece

11. It was the RE1 or RE2 that revolutionized Survival Horror, RE4 revolutionized Over the Shoulder Aiming

12. Lemme guess, you guys are gonna give it an 8 or something when it releases

13. Action Horror

14. "By turning RE into an action genre?"

    True yes, but RE4 at its core is still RE. Puzzles, dread, bactracking and item management, all these are still present in RE4 but was gone on 5 and 6.

    Personally its not RE4 who changed RE its 5 since it started to cater more on multiplayers 🤷🏻‍♂️

15. this was never survival horror.

16. RE4 revolutionised all of gaming

17. fun fact,, resident evil 4 is not survival horror

18. RE4 did NOT revolutionize survival horror. RE4 destroyed it.

19. 4:20 thooooo

20. Resident evil 4 is not survival horror

21. Well RE4 turned the survival horror genre into an action genre

22. Yes Resident Evil 4 revolutionized Survival Horror by being Action Horror.

23. Is the 4:20 run time of this video is in reference to the green herb.

24. You mean how it destroyed survival horror, making the games focus less on psychological horror and conserving ammo/items, to just an action fest that gives no fear at all

25. RE 4 is not the first game who introduce over the shoulder shooting. Freedom fighter from 2003 have also OTS shooting system. RE 4 just refine it more.

26. Zombie in Spanish village

27. More like, how it killed survival horror.

28. RE4 is honestly one of the most influential games of all time. Right alongside Breath of the Wild and the Souls series.

29. the original re4 holds a special place in my heart but its about to get taken over by the remake that is if it delivers (which it surely will)

30. RE4 is not a survival horror game to me, it's an action game with some touch of horror

31. Am confused what addition or value this review provides? Anyone? Nothing new here.

32. resident evil 4 although it's one of the greatest games ever is only a survival horror game being play the first time. The game is just pure fun. Now on the remake on the other hand might follow the same fate as the OG RE4; Fun with replay values.

33. How a game with no horror or survival revolutionised survivor horror

34. S I L E N T H I L L s

35. It revolutionized third person shooter by introducing over the shoulder camera which kills survival horror (mostly RE series itself) by turned it into 'action-horror', but at the same time improves survival horror at the right hand (Dead Space, TLoU, TEW). As for revolutionizing genre itself I'm not really sure but Alien: Isolation and Darkwood really nails survival horror by making it unpredictable and adding 'fear the unknown' elements

36. Ressy 4? Stop. Please

37. To me, the ppl that like the new knife..shows they never played the OG…

38. I'm convinced without RE4 there would be no The last of us

39. Best RE game.

40. Re4 truly revolutionized third person shooter!

    While Mario 64 revolutionized third person camera!

41. By turning Resident Evil into an action game?

42. Re4 isn't survival horror….

43. “You will be disturbed, scared, panicked and completely entertained all the same”-IGN

44. RE4 DID NOT revolutionize survival horror because IT IS NOT a survival horror game. Not even Shinji Mikami himself considers it as such. It's an action game with some horror elements thrown in.

45. I've lost track at how many times you morons uploaded similar videos. You literally made the same thing about Dead Space & the other RE's word for word

46. Well it made it popular but nothing of this sponsored video revolutionized anything…

47. Its resident evil month for me im playing the whole series in chronological order:0,1 remake 1,2,3 ps1 originals, 2 and 3 remake,Code Veronica X, 4 original and remake,revelations,5,revelations 2,6,biohazard 7, and village

48. Classic
