Resident Evil 4 (Biohazard 4) - Cane and Rinse 336

[ratsoalbion]

“You don’t seriously think a conservative mind can chart a new course for the world, do you?”

For the first time ever – as we continue our run through the mainline Resident Evil games – we give a game a second Cane and Rinse podcast treatment. 13 years on from its release and seven years since we last reviewed, it, Capcom’s hugely well reviewed Resident Evil 4 comes under the microscope once again. Leon, Karl, Leah and Sean are your panel this time around as we pick up some of the elements that we missed in our first show, including the critical adaptive difficulty working behind the scenes. Of course the current Cane and Rinse community also gets its say on this mostly adored – but certainly not by everyone – action horror.

Music used in this issue:

1. Serenity by Misao Senbongi/Shusaku Uchiyama
2. Krauser by Misao Senbongi/Shusaku Uchiyama

Absolutely monster show, listened a couple of times in the past week and really enjoyed it. KSub's contributions were particularly ace but lots of cool insights and little stories from all the panel and forum folk.

Wow, thanks man!

A podcast befitting of the game it covered. I wasn’t really sure how you would integrate the feedback on the forum but you nailed it. Spreading ksub’s longform contribution throughout the episode as you covered each facet was inspired.

Compared to the early resident evil 4 episode this is a more mature and polished piece which demonstrates how much the team has progressed and how skilled you have all become.

Well done. I’m proud to be a subscriber/Patreon etc.

Thanks - very kind!

We’ve been doing the interspersing correspondence thing for quite a while now though, when and where appropriate.

I know but this particular game had more responses than usual and the way you did it felt very professional and considered.
Great work!

Cheers - and thanks to all of you for such great input.

It does take many, many hours of both preparation and editing for these shows to come out like they do.

I'd be interested to know if a single panel and/or community member tried the Dr. Salvador challenge that I laid out in the other thread.

Great show on Res 4 guys. Really good.

I never played the game back in the day, as like many others my opinion was that it changed things up too much and just wasn't Resident Evil anymore. After finally playing it recently on Xbox One I realised how stupid I was not to experience the game sooner. I played it from beginning to end in about 2 days then a few days later jumped into the 360 version to do it all again. To think the original version was released in 2005 on GameCube I find incredible.

It was mentioned that Res 4 was covered in the early days of C&R. Is there another Res 4 episode on the list?

Thanks rob.

Thank you, stranger! I will have a listen to that first Res 4 show tomorrow.

I've never seen the show list in full from the beginning. The earliest ones I've listened to then are Prince of Persia (2008) and Metal Gear Solid 2.

Cheers.

It seems to be this great secret that we have a website, even though I plug it on every single show...
