Despite the cheesy B-movie dialogue and Jean-Claude Van Damme-esque action, the original Resident Evil 4 had its candid moments, but after seeing a pig After seemingly collapsing for no reason, the darker remake amused one fan.

#image_title The series as a whole is pretty serious overall, but there are some funny moments in the Resident Evil games, both intentional and unintentional. Many will remember Chris Redfield hitting the boulder in RE5 , while some veteran players will have fond memories of the first time they heard Barry use the “Jill Sandwich” line in Game 1. These are what make the typical horror series so fascinating, even if the remake opts for a generally darker vibe.
Even with the brooding tone, fans can still find something funny in it. For example, while playing the newly released Resident Evil 4 remake, Reddit user Curious-Bug5738 was amused by a fainting pig. Much to the player’s delight, the pig seemed to faint as soon as Leon raised his gun, suggesting that the animal was so afraid of violence that pointing a gun at it was enough to make it fall. Of course, this is just a coincidence, but it illustrates the variety of ways to enjoy a game, even a horror one.
There are sure to be more examples of interesting or unusual things happening in the title, not to mention the many mods for the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake. There’s no doubt that this reimagining will be popular, paying homage to the original while still feeling like a new game, but there will always be those who feel that some tweaks and improvements could be made.
With the remake finally released, a ninth installment in the series is rumored to be in development, and Capcom recently releasing a lovely Resident Evil cartoon, the franchise is at its best in years. It remains to be seen how long it can stay on top, but if RE4 is as critically acclaimed as it is believed to be, the influential survival horror series will continue to dominate the genre.
