Resident Evil 4, known in Japan as Biohazard 4 (バイオハザード4 Baiohazādo Fō), is a survival horror video game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom and Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. The story follows Leon S. Kennedy, who is sent on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the President's daughter, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult. Traveling to a rural village in Europe, he encounters a horde of violent villagers who pledge their lives to the cult.

Unlike previous games in the series, Resident Evil 4 has stronger focus on combat, with many more enemies to deal with. As such, it uses a new third person, over the shoulder combat system for easier aiming. Other changes to the game include context sensitive actions to interact with the environment, and quick-time event cutscenes.

Shiv amritwani lyrics. RE4 was ported to the Wii with Resident Evil 4: Wii edition, with new Wii Remote based aiming controls and extra content from other platforms.

Problems

Intro Text Rendering

The line 'Six years later' at the intro doesn't appear correctly (by three letters instead of by one). This can be corrected by setting the texture cache slider to safe.

PerfCounters

This game uses a feature known as PerfCounters. Using emulator features such as savestates can cause this feature to glitch out, making the game run incredibly slow. There is no known solution to this quirk. Restarting the game after a normal save will remedy the slowdown.

Dark Stripes

Some textures like water and Ramon Salazar (boss) may have strange dark stripes on them. To avoid this issue don't set IR to Auto with OpenGL and disable Fast Depth Calculation with Vulkan.

Configuration

No configuration changes are known to affect compatibility for this title.

3.0-811Mac OS X 10.7.5Intel Core i7 @ 2.2GHzAMD Radeon HD 6750MWorks pretty well. Frame rate is close to 30FPS most of the time. Audio suffers from some issues (with DSP HLE). Every time a code cache clearing occurs, the framerate permanently drops below 15FPS: I have to close the game and restart it to fix this. Tested with default settings and DSP HLE.Nolendil

4.0-1349Windows 7AMD Athlon II X2 255 @ 3.1GHzAMD Radeon HD 5770Full framerate (30FPS game) despite slow hardware. Very rare crash when starting new game, no problems noticed after that. Note that the game was made to fake 16:9 on 4:3 TVs, so playing on a 16:9 monitor will result in annoying borders whatever you do. PAL version tested, enable 60Hz mode at the start.pinumbernumber
4.0-2879Windows 10Intel Core i5-6200U @ 2.3GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M30 FPS ok most of the time. Some slowdown occurs sometimes after loading a new room, but seems random behaviour. When it happens, game speed never come back to 30 FPS, so I must restart to fix. Always crashes in the hall of water, when walking on the yellow right switch, even if it's the first switch activated. So, impossible to play more of the game..Monsieurjplus

5.0Windows 10Intel Core i7-870 @ 3.89GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Over all runs well in 3* Native, with DirectX 12 backend. A few crashes at different points in the game but got past them after 1 or two restarts. I have also noticed my FPS will drop from 30 to 25-27. This happens usually after loading a saved state. It seems best not to load saved state files, or this drop in FPS and cracked audio will start. Do not save the game (in game or save state) if this happens. Restart and make sure the game is running stable before saving or it will save the error too, and run bad from then on. A nice emulation, with very smooth controls.Beastmode1080
