From the Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_4_(2023_video_game)):
Resident Evil 4[b] is a survival horror game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4[1] and published by Capcom for the GameCube in 2005. Players control special agent Leon S. Kennedy who is on a mission to rescue the US president's daughter, Ashley Graham, who has been kidnapped by a religious cult in rural Spain. Leon fights hordes of enemies infected by a mind-controlling parasite and reunites with the spy Ada Wong. In a departure from the fixed camera angles and slower gameplay of previous Resident Evil games, Resident Evil 4 features a dynamic camera system and action-oriented gameplay.
Development on Resident Evil 4 began for the PlayStation 2 in 1999. Four proposed versions were discarded; the first attempt was directed by Hideki Kamiya, but series creator Shinji Mikami felt it strayed too far from the series roots, so it was spun-off as Devil May Cry (2001) at his recommendation. Other versions were scrapped until Mikami took directorial duties for what became the final version. The game was originally announced as part of the Capcom Five, a collaboration between Capcom and Nintendo to create five GameCube exclusives to boost hardware sales and demonstrate third-party support.
Resident Evil 4 garnered acclaim for its story, gameplay, graphics, voice acting, and characters, and is often named one of the best video games, winning multiple Game of the Year awards in 2005. It was ported to numerous formats, and became a cross-platform hit, selling more than 11 million copies. It influenced the evolution of the survival horror and third-person genres, popularizing the "over-the-shoulder" third-person view used in games such as Dead Space and The Last of Us. A remake of Resident Evil 4 was released in 2023.[2]
In 1999, producer Shinji Mikami said a Resident Evil sequel was in development for PlayStation 2.[26] Resident Evil 4 underwent a lengthy development, during which at least four versions of the game were discarded.[27] The first version was directed by Hideki Kamiya.[28] Around the turn of the millennium,[29] Resident Evil 2 writer Noboru Sugimura created a story for the game,[30] based on Kamiya's idea to make a "cool" and "stylish" action game.[31] The story was based on unraveling the mystery surrounding the body of the protagonist, Tony,[32] an invincible man with skills and an intellect exceeding that of normal people, with his superhuman abilities explained with biotechnology.[29] As Kamiya felt the playable character did not look brave and heroic enough in battles from a fixed angle, he decided to drop the prerendered backgrounds from previous installments and use a dynamic camera system.[28] The team spent 11 days in the United Kingdom and Spain, photographing objects such as Gothic statues, bricks, and stone pavements for use in textures.[33][34]
Though the developers tried to make the "coolness" theme fit into the world of Resident Evil,[35] Mikami felt it strayed too far from the series' survival horror roots and gradually convinced the staff to make an independent game. This became a new Capcom franchise, Devil May Cry, released for the PlayStation 2 in August 2001.[36]
The GameCube version sold over 320,000 copies in North America during the first twenty days. The European release sold its entire 200,000 copies during the first month. By December 2005, 3 million copies of the GameCube and PlayStation 2 versions had been shipped worldwide.[177][178] According to January 17, 2007 sales figures provided by Capcom, the GameCube version of Resident Evil 4 had sold a total of 1.6 million copies worldwide, while the PS2 version had sold over 2 million copies.[179]
A remake of Resident Evil 4 was announced on June 2, 2022, during a PlayStation State of Play livestream presentation. The release is scheduled for March 24, 2023 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.[2][226]
