Resident Evil 4: A Masterpiece That Nearly Destroyed the Franchise

Resident Evil 4: the game that changed everything. It reinvented survival horror, turned Leon Kennedy into an action hero, and gave us the Merchant—our true lord and savior. But at what cost? 🤔

This game was so good, Capcom decided to forget what “survival horror” even meant for years. RE5? Co-op shoot-em-up. RE6? Michael Bay simulator. Chris Redfield? Punching boulders like he's training for a UFC fight. RE4 set the gold standard for action horror… but also led the franchise straight into chaos.

In this video, I break down how Resident Evil 4 became a masterpiece while simultaneously pushing the series toward its identity crisis. From the shift in gameplay to the impact on later entries, we’ll dive deep into what made RE4 legendary and dangerously influential.

So grab your attaché case, tune up that shotgun, and let’s talk about how Resident Evil 4 almost ruined the franchise while still being one of the best games of all time.
