Development History Section
This section needs cleanup badly . It reads like a bullet list without the proper format, and many sections are out of chronological order. Can somebody who knows a lot about the history try to clean it up soon? Konman72 09:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed the following paragraph from the "Hidden Weapons" section:
Dual Broken Butterfly's (almost) - When Asheley is back with you in chapter 4-1 go back past the maze to the fountain where the crows were and to the left is a locked door with a high open window, get Ashley to "piggyback" on to you and climb in and unlock the door, there are several treasures, money's, ammo's and herb's in the separate chest's around by in the chest on the plint is a Broken Butterly, If you bought a Broken Butterfly at the start of chapter 3-1 then this one will NOT add on as extra ammo but as another weapon, then all you have to do is find space in your inventory and you will have Dual Broken Butterfly's. This also means that you will pick up more magnum ammo and if one runs out then you can use the other one, both of these guns can be fully upgraded separately one after another and once you've done that you've got two very powerful .45 magnum's. so now when you're enemy's are on the ground ask them one question...(oh come on like you didn't see this coming)
It appears to be in-game suggestions for a homage to Clint Eastwood. At best, its in an inappropriate section.
Its really useless, to be honest. 67.39.138.226 15:20, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Los Iluminados
Heh, not sure if that's how it is spelt, but I'm sure that there used to be a page on this subject, but then was removed, am I right on the matter? Cause it seems like that Los Iluminados would be another organisation to write about as it were, I mean, start a new page based on that organisation. It would definitly seem like a relevent article to begin writting up. Just my opinion really. Drakehellman 22:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Release Dates
All the release dates for the various versions/countries are listed the the information column. Do they really need to be at the top of the article as well?

King Leon on his Throne
Beware of spoilers!
Anyway, it's right after the hallway with the lasers. Leon finds this red throne and, after picking up the emerald, can sit down in Saddler's seat. The camera pans back and Leon poses like he's bored. What is this an homage to? (Momus 00:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC))
UPDATE: I found a sprite from Solid Sharkey's of the same pose. Is it from Castlevania? I've never played the games, myself. (Momus 00:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC))
This may be possible, seeing as the Throne is located in a castle (I mean, Castlevania, castle...).
It probably is a castlevania reference, Dracula usually appears sitting in a throne with crossed legs and a glass of wine in one hand and the other arm supporting his head. Vkeios 05:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Probably not, Resident Evil is Capcom, Castlevania is Konami. Unless they have a good relationship with each other (like Naughty Dog/Insomniac), they probably won't have reference to a rival's games, especially considering Konami makes Resident Evils main, if not only survival horror competition, Silent Hill Midgitboy 17:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Los Illuminados Part 2
I created a section based on this group, you have any problems with it, you use my talk page.--SGCommand (talk • contribs) 15:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Graphics Section
Is the Graphics Section really needed? It seems rather arbitrarily placed and contains superficial information. Moreover, the same idea applies to several other sections, GameCube exclusivity controversy , Dialogue notes , and Awards & recognition . Consider deleting, consolidating, or moving them to proper sub-sections. --ShadowJester07 08:11, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Should we add at least a note about it's compatibility with Progressive Scan mode?(at least on the PS2 version).207.5.195.216 01:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Ada's Shotgun
I've noticed that the shotgun Ada uses in the "Seperate Ways" scenario is not mentioned in the Weapons section of this article. As it's a unique weapon, despite having the same name and in-game description as the standard Shotgun, I'd think it deserves a mention. I'd add it myself, but I currently lack the knowledge of it's make, model, or stats (if its stats differ from the standard shotgun, I don't remember). Musha 12:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Handcannon
Uh, can anyone tell me what's so wrong about putting the Handcannon in the "Hidden Weapons" section? It IS a Hidden Weapon after all. 81.153.3.82 21:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Special controller availability
The article suggests they are "somewhat rare", which seems to be unsourced and fairly unsourceable- at any rate, there's a stockpile of about 100 of the PS2 controllers in Glasgow alone, and I get the feeling there's plenty more around. So I'm editing it. Anyone want to suggest a source for product unavailability?
The reason it is considered rare is because it is not constantly produced. Making it a limited edition product.70.231.229.31 12:29, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I saw like 6 in EB ghame's clearance bin... Shoulda bought one...Midgitboy 17:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Wheres the Triva section?
Um where'd it go? Zerath13
Survival Horror Vs. Action Game
I feel that defining the game's genre as survival horror should be avoided. Looking at how survival horror is defined, , much of the game play elements in Resident Evil 4 have more in common with that of action games.
The biggest difference is that Resident Evil 4 has a seemingly endless supply of ammo and health items. Conserving these items is usually where the "survival" element of survival horror games comes from.
Another difference is that lack of puzzle solving in Resident Evil 4. Historically survival horror games developed out of adventure gaming. By removing puzzle elements from the game design, Resident Evil 4 separates itself from the series' adventure ancestors and realigns itself with the philosophy of action gaming.
I recommend that Resident Evil 4's genre be defined as action or more specifically a "horror themed action game” JFactory 05:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I’d like to share a few more notes on this subject.In the Development History section of this article , it states that on the back of the Playstation 2 version’s packaging it reads, “forget survival horror this is survival action”. This implies that the game is “survival action” shifted from the previous Resident Evil games, which were survival horror. I don’t think that survival action is an adequate genre to label Resident Evil 4 because it implies that the “horror” of the previous games has been replaced by action. In reality, I think it’s the “survival” aspect of the game that has been replaced by “action”. Although I disagree with the term “survival action”, I do think that this instance shows that Resident Evil 4 is different enough from the survival horror genre that re-labeling it is necessary.
In Wikipedia’s article on third-person shooters it states that the previous games in the resident evil series were survival horror but Resident Evil 4 is a third person shooter.
The purpose of a genre in this case is to label a game in a broad way so that its general game play elements can be understood before actually playing the game. “Survival horror” is a very specific genre. When it is labeled as a game’s genre very specific game play comes to mind. This is the game play of the previous Resident Evil games, Silent Hill games, Dino Crisis games, and Alone in the Dark games among others. By labeling Resident Evil 4 as a “survival horror” game it misleads those who haven’t played it about the game play involved. This goes against the purposes of labeling a genre.
I previously said that I though it was best to define the game as an action game. I now feel that a much more accurate and helpful label would be a third-person shooter or more specifically a “horror themed third-person shooter”. JFactory 16:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)Survival horror is the sum of its parts, not a standard against which individual games can be compared. RE4 is a bugger to categorize, but one of those labels should be survival horror. It isn't universally called that, some sources say quite the opposite, but a lot of sources not only call it SH but also credit it with regenerating the genre. Considering that all major series (Resi, Alone in the Dark, Fatal Frame/Project Zero and Silent Hill, hell even Parasite Eve) have sequels in the works, that wasn't far wrong.
Example of RE4 being referred to as SH: "Ladies and gentlemen, the best survival horror game ever made" quoth IGN, "RE4 lays claim to survival/horror by incorporating the set pieces and themes that define the genre, but goes beyond rehashing what has worked in the past" says an article on online gaming magazine The Escapist, called Pleasurable Genres, which goes on at length to discuss the settings and set-pieces of RE4, likening them to classic horror conventions but different to the bog-standard RE trapping
