Capcom also released a PC port in 2007 (two months before the Wii version) it promised the same GameCube graphics with PlayStation 2 content as that version, but ended up being a straight port of the PlayStation 2, an HD Edition for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011, and a re-release on PC through Steam as the Ultimate HD Edition in 2014. Nintendo players later received a more definite version of game when it was released for the Wii in 2007 as Resident Evil 4: Wii edition, which features both the superior graphics of the GameCube version and the new content found in the PlayStation 2 port. Originally announced and released as a GameCube-exclusive as part of the "Capcom Five", five games from Capcom designed to boost third-party support for the GameCube, note in the end only the "Capcom" part wasn't a misnomer - one of the five didn't even come out, and three of the other four - Resident Evil 4, Viewtiful Joe, and Killer7, all saw PlayStation 2 ports, at latest, barely a year after their individual releases a PlayStation 2 port was released several months later, which features additional content, including a new scenario starring Ada Wong that focuses on the events of the main story from her perspective.
Leon soon discovers that the cultists are infected by an ancient parasite that's not much better than the T-virus, and since this is a Resident Evil game, he has much bigger problems than another missing girl - three-stories-tall problems. It has been decided that Leon's a bad enough dude to rescue the President's daughter from a cult operating out of a rural European village. Kennedy is now working for the government. Six years after Leon's adventure in Raccoon City and its ultimate destruction, the Umbrella Corporation is bankrupt and Leon S. The result is one of the most influential and critically acclaimed games of all time. The shooting and inventory system were also revamped from the previous games and the storyline featured minimal ties to the previous games so Capcom could mark a new chapter in the franchise's storyline. The pre-rendered backgrounds and fixed camera angles of previous entries were replaced with an over-the-shoulder view that follows the player character around in a fully 3D environment.

Resident Evil 4 was finally released four years after the initial announcement, taking the series to a radically new direction. Resident Evil 4 languished a few years in Development Hell, however, as a result of changes to the game's premise and staff Mikami's role also changed from producer to director.
