Introduction, setup, requirements

Capcom's classic horror game Resident Evil 4 originally released in 2005 on consoles, and was followed up two years later with a virtually unplayable, outsourced PC port the company later lamented.

Showing it's never too late to fix mistakes, Capcom has taken it upon themselves to heavily tweak the PC version and re-release it as Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition.

If you're interested in whether or not this is in fact the PC port fans always deserved, read on for a light technical analysis of the PC features, performance, visuals, and more.
