Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 terrified StreamerHouse across two eras—2016 streams of the 2005 classic, then 2023's remake that peaked at 1,544 viewers for Capcom's franchise-redefining reimagining. The March 24th, 2023 remake launched with "universal acclaim" (Metacritic), modernizing graphics, controls, and story while retaining survival horror essence that made the original legendary. StreamerHouse witnessed record-breaking sales: 3 million copies in two days, 4 million in two weeks, 6.48 million by December 2023 (fastest-selling RE ever), and 10 million by April 2025. Steam launch hit 94% positive with 140,240 concurrent users—the franchise's biggest PC debut. Original director Shinji Mikami praised the remake on Twitter, validating Capcom's "lavish new graphics" and "numerous modernizations." Critics awarded 98% recommendation rates, with TechRadar's five stars celebrating gameplay improvements over 2005's original. Some criticized failure to fix weaker aspects and sacrificed charm for modernization, but Japan's best-selling retail launch (89,662 PS5, 85,371 PS4) proved demand transcended concerns. For StreamerHouse, the remake demonstrated how to honor classics: keep what worked, fix what aged poorly, and deliver technical excellence that justifies full-price re-purchases from fans who'd already beaten Leon's village nightmare a dozen times before.
