Resident Evil 4 Gets A European Date

GCN News | The most promising title for 2005 finally gets a confirmed GCN release date.

Nintendo of Europe has today announced that the Capcom survival horror title, Resident Evil 4, will launch on the Nintendo Gamecube on 18th March 2005 throughout European countries. This currently looks like a busy month for PAL gamers, with the rumoured release of both the PSP and the DS during the same month.

Heralded as the creator of the survival horror genre, Resident Evil 4 takes things a step further by not only revolutionising the series, but by re-inventing the action game genre. Taking place years after the T-virus outbreak, the storyline and gameplay structure have dramatically changed to allow more emphasis on action. Players move through the game as Special Agent Leon S. Kennedy who is on a top-secret mission. His investigation into the abduction of the President's daughter has led him to a mysterious location in Europe. As Leon encounters all new unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind this new nightmare.

As mentioned, Resident Evil 4 will launch on the Nintendo GameCube in Europe on 18th March 2005 and, surprising enough, Nintendo of Europe will distribute this game in Europe.

i would've said Alone in the Dark created the 3D Survival Horror genre, though RE undoubtedly defined and popularised it...

and then i suppose you could go back into the older 2D horror games to some extent, but these aren't really the same IMO...

good news for fans i guess...
