Description
Another PSM endpage humor piece... This time, the piece shows the aftermath of RESIDENT EVIL 4 losing the magazine's "Game of the Year" award to GOD OF WAR, with RE4's embittered cast drowning their sorrows and grousing about possible reasons why they lost.Explanatory note: at the time, Chris Slate was the editor-in-chief of PSM, hence the Plagas threat to TP his house. Hi, Chris!
Further note: Never got very far in GOD OF WAR, which seemed like a lot o' fun, but was WAAAAAAY too much of a DEVIL MAY CRY-style "button-masher" for my somewhat fragile drawing hand to tolerate. (Sadly, I can't play any game that requires a great deal of sustained, high-speed button-mashing, so my once-beloved fighting games are likewise off-limits now.)
On the other hand, RE4 may well be my favorite game EVAR, or is at least right up in the top five...
UPDATE: As several people have noted, the line:
"...hideous, parasitic lawyers...if you'll pardon the oxymoron."
...should, of course, read:
"...hideous, parasitic lawyers...if you'll pardon the redundancy."
No idea why/how I made this inexplicable error (I think it even reads "redundancy" in the rough version), but nobody spotted it prior to publication. Well, maybe everyone thought I was trying to kiss up to the (no doubt HUGE) demographic of lawyers who read PSM...

lol, Well if you are clever and watch every cut scene Its explained that they are isolated and wish not to be disturbed by the outside world, because they believe it is bad so thats the reason Saddler was able to create the community... because the other modernised locals think they are a village full of weirdos anyway, kind of like the Amish in America.

Hilarious.
I really like to get RE4 someday.

Damn, I hadn't thought of that... Would've been a great addition, to have Louis bitching that the PSM judges were clearly threatened by the sizzling sexual tension between Leon and himself! Either that. or they were intimidated by his very tight pants.

Also: Ten minutes later thoughts formed. WHY did you have to go and put terrifying slash fanfic ideas into my poor, evil head? 
Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! Tight pants! Noooooooo!

Don't forget to add a sad-looking Krauser peeking in on the pair, sniffling and mumbling, "I... I thought we had a real connection, Leon... Didn't you feel our chemistry? >sob<"

RE4 was a better game, anyways. God of War was just Devil May Cry with fewer attack options, and Stone Cold Steve Austin as the anti-heroic protagonist.
I'm so tired of anti-heroes...

I enjoyed both RE4 (the only Resident Evil game I ever liked) AND God of War, but I must say...this is just plain hysterical!

Very hilarious and awesomely drawn. I prefer RE4 over God of War any day. It's good in it's own right, but RE4 was so fun and cool and scary! God of War's only real appealing thing to me now that I think about it was Steven Jay Blum voiced Ares. That's about the coolest thing, and like you said, alot of DMC things can be noted with the button mashingness. Anyway, won't rant further. Both are great games, but I prefer RE4. Myep.
Fave!

Nice job on the characters.

I remember seeing this in PSM. When I read it, I didn't play RE4, but I did play God of War, so I agreed with PSM's decision of giving GOW Game of the Year.

You can say that AGAIN... after almost having a "thingie" on my hands for button mashing in DEVIL MAY CRY 3 (I give up while trying to do a aerial combo, after defeating the twin blades), i decided that the next button-mashing title would be played with hack trainers in PC and turbo-programmable joysticks on consoles.

I always loved this picture when I saw it in the magazine.
You know what always bugged me about RE4? I've played almost all the RE games (with the exception of that FPS, that one that took place on the boat, and the Outbreak series). I do remember in RE2 Ada fell at the end for about a few hundred feet and Leon was crushed, but when Leon sees her in RE4 he is like, "Oh hey, how yah doing?". I really feel like we are missing something.

Wrong path. Claire A, Leon B for the "actual" story.
