Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4, known in Japan as Biohazard 4 (バイオハザード4 Baiohazādo Fō), is a survival horror video game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom and Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. The story follows Leon S. Kennedy, who is sent on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the President's daughter, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult. Traveling to a rural village in Europe, he encounters a horde of violent villagers who pledge their lives to the cult.

Unlike previous games in the series, Resident Evil 4 has stronger focus on combat, with many more enemies to deal with. As such, it uses a new third person, over the shoulder combat system for easier aiming. Other changes to the game include context sensitive actions to interact with the environment, and quick-time event cutscenes.

RE4 was ported to the Wii with Resident Evil 4: Wii edition, with new Wii Remote based aiming controls and extra content from other platforms.

Problems
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|

Intro Text Rendering
The line "Six years later" at the intro doesn't appear correctly (by three letters instead of by one). This can be corrected by setting the texture cache slider to safe.

PerfCounters
This game uses a feature known as PerfCounters. Using emulator features such as savestates can cause this feature to glitch out, making the game run incredibly slow. There is no known solution to this quirk. Restarting the game after a normal save will remedy the slowdown.

Dark Stripes
Some textures like water and Ramon Salazar (boss) may have strange dark stripes on them. To avoid this issue don't set IR to Auto with OpenGL and disable Fast Depth Calculation with Vulkan.

Higher Resolutions
At higher resolutions, certain blur effects will be much weaker. While this doesn't impact the gameplay whatsoever, it can cause some weapons effects to look weaker.
