If you are a fan of horror games and movies, the Japanese video game ad for Resident Evil 4 (RE4) is one you definitely need to watch. The Japanese version of the advertisement has been trending worldwide, with people praising its unique and creative adaptation of the classic horror game.
RE4 was first released as a video game for the Gamecube in 2005, and was then adapted for other systems such as the PlayStation 2 shortly after. It has since become a classic within the horror genre, featuring zombies, monsters and intense puzzles that remain as iconic as ever.
The Japanese version of the commercial gives the classic game a whole new level of creepiness. It features several familiar Resident Evil characters, such as zombie dogs, mutated animals and creepy humanoid creatures. One striking detail of this ad is the black and white cinematography, perfectly capturing the eerie atmosphere of the game and adding to the overall uneasiness of the advertisement.
The use of color is also used effectively to set up the tension. Red flashes in the background and a woman with red eyes creates a feeling of disorientation and confusion. Every detail, from the pacing of the commercial to the placement of the camera, further adds to the horror, ultimately making the viewer feel like they are playing the game itself.
This Japanese version of the Resident Evil 4 commercial is unique, creative, and will make anyone feel terrified. Even for those who are not familiar with the game, this ad is a very effective way to conjure up the fear and unease associated with horror films. So go ahead and watch the Japanese video game ad for Resident Evil 4 — you won’t regret it!
