The remake of Resident Evil 4 comes out Mar. 24, and survival-horror aficionados, fans of the series and newcomers are ready to dive into the latest iteration of the series. As with many popular game releases, however, players might have to make room on their gaming devices to install the Resident Evil 4 Remake. Here's how much space you need.
Resident Evil 4 follows recurring series protagonist Leon Kennedy as he attempts to rescue the U.S president's daughter, who has been kidnapped by cultists in rural Spain. Previous remakes in the series by Capcom, including Resident Evil 2 and 3, have received positive attention from critics and fans, driving up hype for the new release.
The original game was released in 2005 and has been regarded as one of the best games in the long running survival horror series. Its third-person camera perspective influenced many future games in the genre, such as The Last of Us.
Early critic reviews are largely positive about the new game, and players can see for themselves with a free game demo.
Happy Anniversary, Resident Evil!
