'Resident Evil 4' (NGC/PS2) Coming to PC
Posted on Wednesday, January 25 @ 12:03:45 PST
PCGamer's rumor column suggested that Capcom might be bringing RE4 to PC, which was fueled by this online retailer list, scheduled for March 2006. Earlier today a Capcom community admin confirmed that RE4 was indeed on its way but would be a 3rd party product. So far this has only been confirmed by Capcom Europe, not North America (thanks Petr). Capcom also recently brought Onimusha 3 to PC through a third party, so this isn't much of a stretch.
In Resident Evil 4 players are reacquainted with Leon S. Kennedy, Raccoon City Police Department抯 idealistic rookie cop from Resident Evil 2. It has been six years since the destruction of Raccoon City and in that time, the U.S. government has been able to destroy the nefarious Umbrella Corporation. Fast forward to 2004 and players rejoin Leon, who is now a U.S. agent with a top-secret mission. He has been tasked to look into the abduction of the President抯 daughter and his investigation has led him to a mysterious location in Europe. As Leon encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind everything.
