After the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, the legendary fourth game is getting the same treatment, reimagining the lauded classic as something shinier and faster paced.

Having survived the events of Raccoon City, Leon Kennedy is now (the game takes place in the year 2004) tasked with rescuing the U.S president's daughter from a cult in remote Spain. Thus begins a horror action adventure that's like few others.

Based on recent hands-on time, the game doesn't deviate much from the original, focused more on adding new bells and whistles than messing with the core formula. It's the kind of polish that Capcom makes look effortless these days. You have the ability to move and shoot, crowds are denser, and there are more interactions between enemies and the environments - like when the chainsaw wielding Dr Salvador cuts down buildings to block your escape.
