Resident Evil 4 (2023) Minimalist Challenge (Hardcore) | Village Section | Road to Resident Evil 9

Описание: I begin a handgun & knife–only challenge run in Resident Evil 4 (Remake) on Hardcore difficulty, clearing the entire village section before life cut the session short.

This is part of my Road to Resident Evil 9, replaying modern and classic entries to stay sharp before launch. After Resident Evil Zero crashed mid-stream, we pivoted straight into RE4 Remake — and honestly, no regrets.

Challenge rules for this run:
– Handguns & knives only (Minimalist achievement)
– Hardcore difficulty
– No grenades, no crowd control weapons
– Limited saves, resource management focus

What’s covered in this stream:
– Full village section completion
– Chainsaw encounters with handgun-only constraints
– Early boss fights and village gauntlet
– Merchant upgrades focused on knife durability & handgun power
– Commentary on remake pacing vs classic Resident Evil
– Survival decisions under ammo pressure

This run really highlights how strong the parry system, knife upgrades, and Red9 handgun are in the remake — even without shotguns or explosives. Hardcore feels fair, but tight, especially without crowd control.

⚠️ This is a partial playthrough — the run will continue next stream with the castle and island sections.

🔔 Resident Evil 9 launches February 27, and I’ll be streaming it live.

Thanks for watching — and yes, the village is still intense after all these years.
