That said, it’s visually one of GameCube’s best-looking games, and features a lot of technical differences that set it apart from other versions. The one that started it all, the original 2005 GameCube release is objectively the most bare-bones version, thanks to not including the Separate Ways campaign included in the PlayStation 2 release and onwards. Note: the Zeebo/iOS version of Resident Evil 4 is not included, as it is a completely different game, acting more as a demake than a real port. Now it seems almost comical to even try to differentiate a dozen different releases of Resident Evil 4, but I’m gonna try anyway. Unlike previous RE games, however, Resident Evil 4 offers less in the way of different content between each version and more along the lines of different specifications between each version. As before, this guide is designed to give you the basic and best tips to start your adventure with, as well as give you the full deets on the variety of versions that have been released since its original 2005 debut. The seminal 2005 classic that changed the gaming landscape and third-person shooters forever is now 17 years old, and with Resident Evil 4 Remake steadily approaching on the horizon, I figured it was time to revisit the original one last time. As I’ve done with the first three Resident Evil titles, we’ve finally come to what’s possibly one of the most beloved (and one of the most ported) entries in the series: Resident Evil 4.
