Crazed villagers infected with a new virus called Las Plagas, giving them supernatural abilities, including replacing their heads with some sort of parasite being, fill the void zombies left behind, making combat far more interesting. Kennedy, a survivor of Raccoon City and one of the protagonists of Resident Evil 2, is tasked with rescuing the President’s kidnapped daughter in some rural Spanish village. The plot, like any game in the series, is pretty ridiculous.
The Japanese developer has gone back to the source material with the Ultimate HD Edition, adding a bevy of new additions and modern standards that should hopefully have diehard fans trekking Leon’s journey once more. While the title has been on PC in the past, it was a poorly optimized port that didn’t utilize the platform’s true potential. It has been nearly ten years since the fourth iteration into the popular survival horror franchise has hit the market, but that isn’t stopping Capcom from re-releasing the game on every platform possible.
