Now’s your chance to relive one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. Resident Evil 4 HD will be released via PlayStation Network on Wednesday, September 21st. Five years after the Raccoon City outbreak, Leon S. Kennedy is back in action and on a new assignment. The President’s daughter has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult in Europe and it’s your mission to rescue her and make it out alive. The entire Resident Evil 4 experience (including all bonus content from previous versions) has been remastered in high definition and will be a treat for both new fans and RE veterans.
The Resident Evil franchise had its beginnings on PlayStation 15 years ago and to help celebrate we’re offering some sweet Resident Evil deals for PlayStation fans. At launch we’re going to be giving everyone five free RE4 avatars to anyone who purchases Resident Evil 4 HD. On top of that, all PlayStation Plus subscribers will get 50 percent off the price of Resident Evil 4 HD, bringing it down to just €9.99/£7.99. We’re also offering the PSone version of Resident Evil 1 Director’s Cut FREE to PlayStation Plus subscribers.
That’s a ton of Resident Evil content coming your way on the cheap, but it doesn’t stop there … check back next week for more details on Resident Evil Code Veronica X HD!

For people with no plus sub why don’t you have 3 months then it will save you money on the resi games.£8 each for both resi games and plus sub £12, which would be £28 or without plus sub £32 for both resi games. Another bonus for having plus the resident evil: DC for free and future discounts and free games for a while.

@ Tomo910
Exactly!!!
I was going to post it earlier but alot of gamers don’t think that way today
Also have you noticed some of the free games have no expiry date so you get to keep them?

Gods above and below look at their HAYR. Horrible semi-manga hair that only serves to make one angry. Lets hope Cr4pcom decide to HD the offending articles out of the remakes…Oh and the brainless doll-like “my face is a-symetrical” look on their faces(minus any revolting emoed pre/fore & aft hairsprayed whenever the cam view isn’t on them hayr overhang of course). no wonder most jp games are still stuck in this already aged when it was new development stage. Bring on Ico/Collosus/Guardian. Now they were and will be brilliant.

I won’t buy this on PlayStation Network? Why? Because I’m almost certain that at some point, there will also be a physical release on a Blu-Ray Disc!

I’m guessing there’s no Move otherwise it would of been mentioned.So i’ll stick with the Wii version.
My biggest concern,and the reason I won’t by a Dd Capcom game ever again,is the dreadful Drm policy.

@ PyramidHead07
T&C is an abbreviation of “Terms and Conditions”.
@ RemyX-1988
Japan & Hong Kong have the release on disc dubbed “Revival”. I think it’s only a matter of time before we receive a disc based release. I think it will definatley arrive, as the same happened with the original God Of War Collection release!

I was gonna buy this on day 1 but now I know it’s £16 I’ll wait for Super Hyper Ultimate Resident Evil 4 Turbo HD Remix Gold Edition Off the Record.

frak. the only games worth playing from the franchise is resi 0, resi – remake, resi 2 and resi 3. so the above discount doesn’t say anything to me. try your best to import those two to the european store and i’ll be glad to pay every penny you put on them. it would be better though to see the remakes like REbirth happen eventually. why don’t they bring it here too? it was a gamecube exclusive.
115
Posted on 19 September, 2011 at 12:51 am by ShoaibO
Oh hell no! I aint paying £15.99 for this *boots up gamecube, pops in RE4, gamecube dies, screams* come Wednesday I will purchase RE4 from the PSN store, thankyou Nintendo…I mean Sony
116
Posted on 19 September, 2011 at 1:24 am by Alex-OOE
Definitely worth every penny! This is the reason in going to upgrade to PS+!!!!! Can’t wait! Hope it’s move compatible! :-/

Resident Evil 4 is rumoured to feature Capcom’s PSN DRM, Final Fight and Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 had this DRM and required a constant internet connection to play the game.
Is there any truth to this Ross?(or anyone else in the know)

Love to see RE4 & RE CodeVX games get Move Support

ABTR go get a life Playstation has trophies now get used to it I have got so much more out of my games since they arrived if a game like this that should have about 36 51 is getting on peoples nerves that is ok & Move would be perfect for this game.
121
Posted on 19 September, 2011 at 2:29 pm by pnov81
I have asked twice now on the EU blog on two separate articles is this game would have DRM and no response.
I’ve also asked Capcom over at the unity forums with Capcom reluctant to give a clear answer.
In short this game will have DRM. Pretty crappy if you ask me.

“bringing it down to “just” €9.99/£7.99.”
So full price will be 20 euros? That’s a bit overpriced for an hd update no?

So can’t wait for tomorrow night, Resident Evil 4 is my 2nd favourite game in the series with Resident Evil 2 being the 1st.
Resident Evil 5 was fun but it had nothing on Resident Evil 4 and finally i can play it it HD.
I was also wanting to know when Resident Evil 2 and 3 are going to be released on PSN.
126
Posted on 20 September, 2011 at 1:28 pm by skele25
Sad that Capcom overprices EU release again, since when 20€ is 20$?, that is just kicking EU customers to the head.

I’m having some of this and it’s great PS Plus subscribers get a reduction.

Finally a HD version of the legendary Resident Evil 4 hits PSN tonight, i’ve been so hyped about this game since it was announced and tonight the waiting ends. Welcome back Resident Evil 4.

Its so Lame that this game doesn’t have a platinum trophy, i mean come on they could of just cut and paste some resident evil 5 trophies and put them in resident evil 4, however resident evil 4 is still 1 of the best games iv ever played so il buy it today.
130
Posted on 21 September, 2011 at 10:42 pm by lewis1992
I’m deciding whether or not to buy this game. After all, there are good and bad points.
GOOD:
- Great game
- HD
- Some trophies
- Reasonable price for PS+
BAD:
- No platinum trophy
- No Move support
- Only 12 trophies
131
Posted on 21 September, 2011 at 10:43 pm by lewis1992
Oh, why is there no platinum trophy by the way?
I’m just interested. We don’t really hear much from Sony about trophies so I don’t really expect to get a response…
132
Posted on 22 September, 2011 at 10:56 am by Connor_mufc_1985
where’s them 5 free re4 avatars this is lame.
133
Posted on 22 September, 2011 at 2:18 pm by Immortal-Wolf-
Sorry Mike Lunn but Resident Evil 4 HD is a bust on playstation store really £11.99 you kidding me not worth the price to buy it as i have Resident Evil 4 on playstation 2 and Gamecube why should i pay Resident Evil 4 HD £11.99 when bingo on playstation 2 and Gamecube Resident Evil 4 il buy Resident Evil 4 HD if you put it to £4.99 otherwise il rather play it on my PS2 with a RPG cable to my HD screen have a good try selling it at £11.99 nobody dumb enuff would pay that price.
134
Posted on 22 September, 2011 at 7:44 pm by CoolDust
Hey, like a few people have already said what happened to the 5 free avatars? Any word on them would be nice. I hope we will see them soon.
135
Posted on 23 September, 2011 at 8:42 pm by honey24muncher
bought it, but i am not happy with the controls, there not the same as gamecube and ps2 version of the game, is it possible to get support for it, all we need is an option to customize the controller settings. all so i saw an add for free resident evil 1 to 3, is that just in america psn plus?
136
Posted on 24 September, 2011 at 4:05 am by honey24muncher
Sony, why is it that you give playstayion europe the dodgey deals, for instance, playstation plau subscribers get resident evil directors cut free, I already have it but my argument is that us playstation get 5 free avatars and playstation plus us get resident evil 1,2 and 3 free, why do I even bother moaning, no one will listen!
137
Posted on 24 September, 2011 at 6:58 am by chrisredfield_97
where are the 5 free avatars speak SONY
138
Posted on 26 September, 2011 at 1:49 pm by myca77
I would so buy this (and the Move controller) if there was Move support, until them I’ll maybe do a fresh playthrough on the Wii. Using a controller after the wonderful way they implemented motion controls would just feel so wrong, that was one of the reasons I couldn’t get into RE5.
Lazy Capcom, lazy.
139
Posted on 26 September, 2011 at 2:01 pm by windsorblue01
you will probebly find that the free avatars was a mistake and meant for america only since they are doing the same for code v but not european
Posted on 26 September, 2011 at 2:38 pm by James Gallagher
Yes, I’ve been investigating this since last week and it seems that the avatars were not meant for Europe and shouldn’t have been included in the blog post. However, I’m speaking with the Store team to see if we do something to get them for you. Bear with us.

hence the word “misleading” a shobby copy/post that shouldn’t have happen Yes I‘m moaning again.
Good old Crapcom thinks of USA then us, go & die crapcom just fold & bankrupt
there maybe just pictures that fine we can wait, but it‘s the same boring incompetence that gets me.

So… anyone tried playing it with their internet disconnected? DRM will make or break this for me?

hi james, can you look to see if they will release resident evil 2 and 3, they would be a nice add to my collection. cheers bud

Why have we not gotten Resi 2 & 3, was looking forward to replaying them, having played Resi 1 to death with the various re-releases, a bit disappointing
You’d think Capcom would pony up and offer us a different Capcom game, and i know the Resi promotions are for there Anniversary of Resi.
146
Posted on 27 September, 2011 at 3:12 pm by zombiekill56
why we don’t get RE2 and 3 for free like the Us store?i mean isn’t it RE Anniversary for god sake.i hope you guys look forward into it or ps plus would be a let down
147
Posted on 27 September, 2011 at 3:14 pm by zombiekill56
Also updating RE4 with a platinum would get more players to buy,think about it
