Evil 4 Startimes — Resident

The story becomes "deep" when you realize Leon isn't the only one there. Ada Wong

Here’s a polished, dramatic opening text for a Resident Evil 4 “Startimes” (likely referring to a TV or movie-style opening sequence, like a "Starring" or title card sequence). I’ve written it in the style of a cold open or scrolling prologue, matching the game’s tone.

[SCENE: BLACK SCREEN. TEXT APPEARS LETTER BY LETTER, TYPEWRITER STYLE. THEN, A LOW RUMBLE OF THUNDER AND DISTANT WOLVES HOWLING.]

TEXT ON SCREEN:

“Six years have passed since the nightmare of Raccoon City.

The world believed the horror was contained. The conspiracy buried. The truth burned along with the bodies.

But evil does not die. It only waits… and evolves.” Resident evil 4 startimes

[FADE IN: GRAINY, SHAKY FOOTAGE—A RURAL EUROPEAN VILLAGE, NIGHT. TORCHES. CROWDS MUMBLING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. A SINGLE HOODED FIGURE IS LED TO A POST.]

TEXT ON SCREEN:

“The President’s daughter has been taken. No ransom. No demands. Only whispers of a cult in a forgotten European region—Los Illuminados.”

[FLASH OF THE WORD "STARTIMES" IN BLOOD-RED LETTERS, THEN IT BURNS AWAY.]

TEXT ON SCREEN:

“One man is sent to find her. Not a hero. Not a savior. A survivor.” The story becomes "deep" when you realize Leon

[CAMERA WHIPS TO: LEON S. KENNEDY. YOUNGER. HARDER. CHECKING HIS PISTOL IN THE BACK OF A POLICE CRUISER. RAIN BEATS AGAINST THE WINDOW.]

TEXT ON SCREEN:

“His orders: Extract the girl. Eliminate any hostiles. Ask no questions.”

[QUICK CUTS: A GANADO’S HEAD TWISTING 180 DEGREES. A CHAINSAW SPARKING TO LIFE. A CHURCH BELL RINGING IN MADNESS.]

TEXT ON SCREEN:

“But in this village… the villagers are not the prey.” [SCENE: BLACK SCREEN

[LOUD GUNSHOT. SCREEN CUTS TO BLACK.]

TITLE CARD (CENTER SCREEN, BOLD, RUSTY METAL FONT):

To understand the depth of RE4, you have to look at where it starts. The game opens with a monologue from Leon S. Kennedy. Since the events of Raccoon City (RE2), the US Government has dismantled the Umbrella Corporation.

However, this didn't stop the horror; it just privatized it. Umbrella’s scientists sold their research to the highest bidder. The world moved from "corporate accidents" to "global bioterrorism." Leon is no longer just a survivor; he is a hardened government agent working for the President. This sets the stage for a more mature, cynical world.

Important: StarTimes decoders (like the HDTV, H2, or Nova) do not run PlayStation, Xbox, or PC games. However, some older models include a built-in game section with Java/2D games – but Resident Evil 4 is not one of them.
