Gamers, mark your calendars! February 9th is the day Capcom rolls out the Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition, a package that brings together the critically acclaimed base game along with all its downloadable goodies.

Capcom will release the new edition on February 9

What’s in the box? For starters, the Gold Edition packs the Separate Ways expansion, adding layers to the game’s narrative with extra gameplay. But that’s not all. Players will also get their hands on a slew of bonus content that was previously exclusive to the Deluxe Edition. This includes a variety of outfits for the game’s protagonists, Leon and Ashley, giving them a fresh look with Casual and Romantic styles. Weapon enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of the Sentinel Nine and Skull Shaker firearms, alongside an original soundtrack, exclusive charms, and more treasures to enhance the gaming experience.

While Capcom has kept the price tag under wraps for now, anticipation is building, and details on preorders are expected to surface soon.

Since its launch in March 2023, the remake of the 2005 classic Resident Evil 4 has been a blockbuster success, quickly selling over three million copies in its opening days and reaching six million in the following months. Its blend of horror, action, and meticulously crafted gameplay has not only won the hearts of long-time fans but also attracted new ones, earning it a perfect score in reviews for revitalizing the franchise.

The Resident Evil series, developed by Capcom, made its debut in 1996, setting a new standard for the survival horror genre. Originally titled “Biohazard” in Japan, the franchise has expanded significantly over the years, evolving from its roots in fixed camera angles and pre-rendered backgrounds to embrace first-person and over-the-shoulder viewpoints. The saga is renowned for its blend of action, puzzle-solving, and horror elements, revolving around the sinister Umbrella Corporation and the outbreak of the T-virus, leading to widespread zombie and monster infestations. Over decades, Resident Evil has grown into a vast universe, including video games, movies, novels, and more, maintaining its status as a cultural icon in horror and video gaming.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro series has been marketed as a powerhouse for gaming, boasting strong performance in AAA games like Resident Evil Village. However, recent tests conducted on the upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake reveal a less-than-optimal gaming experience on the iPhone 15 Pro, however, the M2 powered iPad Pro ran the game fairly well.

Apple’s push into gaming market meets challenges as Resident Evil 4 Remake shows imperfection on iPhone 15 Pro

MrMacRight conducted performance tests comparing the iPhone 15 Pro, M1 iPad, and M2 iPad with a focus on “Resident Evil 4: Remastered.” The results, as uploaded in a video, indicate that the iPhone 15 Pro struggled to deliver a satisfactory gaming performance. The game, running at a resolution of 1560×720 with MetalFX sharpening technology enabled, consistently fell short of the capped 30 FPS (frames per second) on iOS.

While simpler scenes maintained a relatively stable frame rate, reaching close to 30 FPS, more intense scenarios such as combat caused a significant drop, plunging below 25 FPS and, in some instances, as low as 20 FPS. The graphics experienced severe stuttering during these moments, substantially impacting the overall gaming experience, particularly when using a sniper rifle.

In contrast to Resident Evil Village’s successful adaptation to the iPhone, the iOS version of Resident Evil 4 Remake lacks customizable settings and relies on preset graphics. Notably, the much-anticipated ray tracing feature, previously emphasized by Apple, is notably absent.

One prominent factor contributing to the iPhone 15 Pro’s subpar performance is likely heat dissipation issues. The device experienced rapid temperature increases during testing, triggering a reduction in frequency limit and exacerbating stuttering problems. Interestingly, while the iPhone 15 Pro faced challenges, the iPad Pro equipped with the M2 chip showcased superior performance. Running the game at a higher resolution with a more stable frame rate, the iPad Pro emerged as a more reliable option.
