After all, the pioneering action-survival horror first found its home on a Nintendo platform back in 2005 with the GameCube (and don&#8217;t you forget it!).<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the standard trailers and coverage that&#8217;s been popping up over the past few months, Capcom has just released a new animated short based on the game, and it&#8217;s&#8230; well, it&#8217;s disturbing. Not overly disturbing in an oh-my-god-I-can&#8217;t-sleep-at-night-now kind of way, but the cute art style mixed with the blantant violence in the latter portion of the video is certainly unsettling.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s something you need to see to really appreciate it, so be sure to check out the animation in the video above. Capcom clearly states that this is &#8216;episode 1&#8217;, so our hope is that we&#8217;ll be treated to some more animations featuring our favourite government agent and Las Plagas-infected villagers later this week.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/retro\/related-articles:146552,136772 @ 2023-03-23T01:48:33+00:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>What do you make of the Resident Evil 4 animation from Capcom?
