Episode 27 - Ho Ho, That Wacky Zombie - Resident Evil 4

You Want to Come Back to My Place for Some... Podcasting?, Welcome to our second and last October horror episode on Resident Evil 4. Released on the GameCube way back in 2005, RE4 is often held up as the best game in the series, and we dive into why that is. The action elements of this game mark a significant departure from the series' Survival Horror roots, and the result is a very different kind of game, groundbreaking at its time, that still wants the player to feel unsettled. We're going to talk about strategic combat, B-Horror trappings, and sexual tension on a long jet ski ride to America. Thanks so much for listening (and we apologize for the delay in releasing this one), and be sure to come back next time for an episode on Pokémon Snap!
